Security Tokens 2.0: Some Thoughts Off-Chain vs. On-Chain Governance
the FAA has been intensely interested and collaborative with the drone industry for YEARS. since 2015 at least when I saw people from the FAA at commercial drone conferences talking about the importance of how drones would be operated safely. They first had commercial exemptions in section 333 and then formally passed Part 107 in order to address the needs of commercial operators in 2016. To say that the FAA is "only interested because of the mainstream media" is pretty inaccurate. they've been interested for YEARS.

That sprite hardware also gave the C64 a reputation as a "game machine" in an era where the big money was in business sales.

There was a lot of "serious business only" attitude in many of the computers those days.
Yeah I dunno about that.

A month or so ago, I took a two week trip across France and Spain, it was one of the most lovely experiences of my life, staying in great places, eating amazing food, etc. It was honestly about as wonderful and stimulating of an experience as I've ever had.

About halfway through it I started to realize that I was still attached to my phone. I was sitting on trains reflexively checking Twitter for the disastrous updates in American politics instead of looking out the window at the Pyrenees, or in a museum constantly reaching for my pocket.

In my personal story I took drastic action. I added parental controls to the phone, deleted some apps, made a commitment to keep the phone out of the bedroom, and other stuff, and have noticed a drastic improvement in mental health.

I don't discount your experiences, they likely work for you and I believe you. Just like how many people can go into bars without becoming alcoholics, but there are other people who need to take affirmative steps towards abstinence, and avoid certain people places and things, as they say.

But that's the nature of an addictive cycle. Not sure it actually in fact matters how great your life is, once you've acquired that addiction it's a habit that requires being affirmatively broken.
Privileges and rights are the terms I was taught in place of positive rights and negative rights, respectively, in your link.

I think they are better terms. Privileges impose an obligation on others. Rights do not. Positive right is very similar to the equivalent alternative term (privilege) but negative rights unnecessarily confuses the conversation. Is there an impact on others and is it really negative? It appears to simply be used in the opposite of positive right but the adjective negative is misleading.

You (or one of your countrymen) pay for it with taxes, that isn't the same as it costing $0.

Now, it likely a) does cost a lot less in Denmark than in the States in real terms and b) paying for it with taxes might absolutely make the most operational sense. But it isn't free.

Yeah, just use the "performant" frustration tools invented by the telcos and great firewall... slow down the load/scroll, jerk the video, lose images, drop UI events, add typos, force reloads.

The idea of productizing tech addiction recovery funded by the VCs which fund tech addiction enabling products seems slightly disingenuous.
> This is a thing people say, but I think it's misleading. Reference counting can increase the lifetime of an object, but borrowing cannot. I've seen this really trip up beginners.

"With a maximum reference count of 1." As the reference count becomes 1 upon object creation, it cannot really be increased further. Hence, only operations that keep the (virtual) reference count at 1 or reduce it to 0 are allowed.

My point here is that you inherently cannot do things where you cannot prove that this virtual reference count can be capped at 1.
Tips to choose the best custom software development company
My opinion has always been, balanced is best.

If you have to stick to a 'high' anything diet, make it vegetables.

I practice semi-Keto. But it works for me. I have a hard time controlling my self when it comes to eating/snacking. I find that high protein/high fat foods are more filling per calorie and stops me from devouring high carb snacks.

I think people get turned on by the near-instant weight drop when you cut out carbs from your diet and lose water weight in the first few days.

Keto is also expensive and harder to stick to exactly than I'm willing to put in the effort for. I supplement 'no carbs' with 'some carbs' from whole grains, beans, and veggie-carbs to help bring down the cost.

The healthiest thing to do (imo) is to a) not over-eat, b) avoid added sugar, c) get your micro nutrients, d) mix it up
That works unless a vote is unanimous. At that point it is obvious what you voted.
Indeed; we can't come up with explicit examples for the uncomputable compression to the shortest possible description (corresponding to the Kolmogorov complexity).
The sprites and backgrounds use the same memory as the main CPU so more sprites and more complicated backgrounds means the CPU gets stalled more.

On the C64 for instance the first line of a character (so one every 8) is when the graphics chip fetches the list of characters on that line and that line is a ‘bad line’ where the CPU has much less cycles. And then the CPU is stalled for 50% of the rest of the time so the graphics chip can fetch the character bitmaps indexed by the data fetched during the bad line.
> Chestnut and Kurzius have worked to keep that lifeline affordable: Mailchimp’s customers pay nothing for the first 2,000 subscribers or 12,000 emails sent, and then $10 a month after that. The low cost translates potentially into a big upside.

Hardly. Only the first part of that statement is true. It's $10 a month AND UP... and it goes up pretty fast: https://mailchimp.com/pricing/

We switched to phplist + Amazon SES several years back after calculating what our MailChimp bill would be for our list size, and are glad we did.
You could always join and keep a remote tech job. If you contribute ~30% of your post tax salary to the commune you are putting in more than the average member and get to enjoy the benefits while maintaining your resume and work history should you ever wish to leave. Seems like a win win for everyone.
You are comparing these tools based on superficial syntactic characteristics and completely missing the dynamic capabilities.

You should look at a tool like Perl (5 or 6) much like you would a Lisp - a dynamic system that provides interesting and useful runtime features.

I use Perl when I want features like `eval`...or when I want to push data around while delaying evaluating its type.

This is why I suggest comparing the Perls to tools like Racket.
I should have said the legal requirement “according to the FAA”, because before 2016, the FAA wasn’t acknowledging 336 on the FAA.gov web site. That’s the year they decided to clarify that small model aircraft were allowed under 336. 336 was passed in 2012. Between 2012 and 2016, and probably before that, the FAA’s web site stated that UASs fall under their jurisdiction and could be legally flown by licensed pilots. Any commercial drone use at all still requires certification with a remote pilot’s license, which is still being largely ignored & scoffed at by people who want real estate photos and sports videos.

In any case, the point still stands that there was never a time in recent history that drones were unregulated. 336 is a regulation.

> This new law repeals section 336 stripping Americans of their freedom to fly model aircraft free from government intervention into their hobby

We’ve only had a limited, regulated freedom to fly for a short 6 years, and in those six years the drone market has changed to the tune of more than 10x [1]. In the last 6 years, accident rates have grown in proportion to the market size, and more than half the accidents are caused by technical failures [2]. What used to be a relatively inaccessible hobby by a few tens of thousands of people flying gas powered model airplanes, and only in parks because model airplanes require wide open spaces, is now tens of millions of people flying drones than can launch literally anywhere. I never used to see model airplanes flying around tourist destinations, and today I can’t go without seeing one.

If you were flying before 2012, think about the fact that more than 90% of the people flying today have less than 5 years experience, and about half have less than 1 year experience. Also pretty likely is that the majority of drone pilots today are children under 20 years old.

If that doesn’t make you think a small amount of regulation is a good idea, consider that the drone market is still expected to triple or quadruple in the next 5 years, so in short order the majority of drones flown will be piloted by someone who hasn’t flown yet, and has never thought about any of these issues, or about safety, nor ever considered flying some sort of god given right. For both our sakes, I think asking those people to register and do a small amount of safety training is a good idea. While you can, you don’t have to view this as intervention, there are legitimate reasons to regulate hobbies that cause potential harm to others.

Once again, this is easy for Bloomberg to prove: X-Ray or it didn't happen. Fake news. Surely the factory produced more than a few of these mobos. All the world needs is an X-Ray of one board with the magical chip.

I worked in HPC when NVIDIA started taking serious market share from Intel. My memory of Intel’s performance comparisons were that they were often technically unsupportable once you scratched the surface.

In one case a third party who were demonstrating how much faster Intel Xeon Phi was for deep learning admitted that they were comparing highly-optimised code to unoptimised code in their results.

This doesn’t surprise me at all.

What are these "stupidities" that bother you?

Personally, I use Python a lot for anything related to data science. No language is perfect, but I'd say Python has a lot less deficiencies and warts than most other mainstream languages, and it's extremely well suited for tasks in data science and related fields such as machine learning.

The main issue with Python is that its default platform (CPython) isn't very efficient. That's not a problem in the language itself; in fact, it's partly caused by all the benefits of a high-level language: you simply don't have the same facilities to optimize your resource consumption as you do in, say, Rust.

The upside is of course that the code is far more concise and readable.
Because of the affordable care act, no (thankfully, as pregnancy was a pre-existing condition) but your insurance may not cover a doctor or hospital which could (even accidentally) add up to thousands of dollars. Ask who people are when they walk into your room, and whether their treatment is covered depending on your insurance.
Reporters can't be this dumb.

>I sent him a link to Mouser, a catalog where you can buy a 0.006 x 0.003 inch coupler. Turns out that’s the exact coupler in all the images in the story...

I don't know much about technology journalism, but I would think that no one who is a technology reporter would make a miss like that. And even if he/she did make a miss like that, wouldn't an editor or someone higher up call that out pretty much right away?

I can't see why this story would have been put out as is without further investigation? Maybe some independent verification? I suppose there remains a slim possibility that the overarching theme of the story is true, and the reporters are simply spectacularly inept. There is also the possibility that the story is false and Bloomberg itself is spectacularly inept. Other possibilities are too terrible to contemplate. They run the gamut from simple propaganda, which is terrible, but would not be unexpected... all the way to out and out graft. ie - Some influential guy was short Apple.

> Well first off, if you doubt it's true, all you need to do to disprove it is to provide a single example of white males being the subject of more risk than any other group by population, in any metric, that isn't genetic or similar.

White men are subject to more risk of being shot by police than black females.

White men are subject to more risk of being shot by police than white females.

White men are subject to more risk of being shot by police than any female of any skin color.

> It's just that in every category of risk, it's less dangerous if you're a white male.

False. The largest prediction for high risk for being shot by the police is social econimic status. Second largest predictor is being male. Third largest is african american skin color. Poor black male has the highest risk, and rich white female the lowest risk. White male as an demographic has higher risk than the average (50%) in the US population because the trait "male" is a larger predictor to risk of being shot by the police than the trait "white".
For me, it's that the telephone demands immediate and synchronous attention. It's the same as someone barging into your house/office, interrupting whatever it is you were doing, and demanding your attention on something entirely different.

I think this is also largely why text-based communication is so popular: it's asynchronous. You can send someone a message, they reply when it's convenient. There's very little effort involved as the recipient (compared to say, voicemail or a live conversation).

A scheduled or expected voice call is entirely different: it's just an efficient form of communication. I personally would also rather have a 5 or 10 minute phone call than send texts or e-mails back and forth dozens of times over the course of hours or days.
Porting C to Rust
There are rules that are EU-wide - because they're set by an EU regulation. If you're a resident in any EU country, you get the blue card. That makes you entitled to whatever (this is depending on the country and not set by the regulation) in your country of residence and basic care of life threatening issues in the rest of EU, Czech Republic included; however if you injure yourself doing e.g. sports in other EU country, that's not covered! That's why travel insurance still exists, otherwise it'd be pointless.

My comment was talking about uninsured people, so mostly non-EU residents and people that didn't pay and weren't entitled for coverage by their government - the way it works is that your governments pays the insurance for you if you can't, but will not if you can; there is an exception - Germany, where everyone is covered through taxes.
For me it seems that there are more coincidential elements here than what is apparent - for example the disappearance of the Interpol chief, etc.

> Rust's ownership problem solves it for trivial cases, at the cost of making it hard to do other things

Your analysis of the trade offs is fine, but you claim that Rust only solves this problem for "trivial" cases. If that's true, then most of the Rust code I've written is trivial. To me, that pretty thoroughly weakens your dismissal here, at least in my case.
I have hired several coding school grads - not Lambda but very similar. I’ve seen these employees plateau and have recommended they consider going back to a traditional degree program to power the next phase of their career.

I agree the current university system is not effective for everyone, but economic potential flattens out quickly for tradespeople, which fits the “coders” job description. Most rock star coders I know in SV who have remained coders are making roughly the same now as they were in 2001, adjusted for inflation. Which means their purchasing power has dropped significantly. Meanwhile those I know who have a liberal arts degree + an MBA or JD have steadily increased their purchasing power. They made much less initially, but steadily and reliably accumulated experience that is highly valued in the market as a function of time. Will the best React or Angular coder grad today command 10x their salary in 10 years?

Also SF Bay Area is notoriously age biased against older “doers”. Good luck finding a coder job in a GV startup if you are over 35 at a salary commensurate with your experience.

I agree a 4 year degree is insufficient, but I would argue it is a necessary foundation on which to layer on even more education. A career is a marathon, not a sprint. And it should be about more than how fast one can achieve high score.

Overall though, I agree there is a niche for this. This has been done for other verticals, particularly in nursing. So it should work great for a very specific population and a very specific market need.

But I don’t see it as being a fix to “optimizing human capital” over a lifetime. (I’m not sure education should be about optimizing anything.) I see it as a short term win-win until companies do in fact automate away 99% of coding, and for the under 30 student in an economy that is overheated, in a country that doesn’t provide a quality public education to alll its kids.

I’ll be a buyer until the market cools and more candidates flood in, but I’ll continue to recommend they enter a degree program.

Finally there are the specs and related discussions that lead up to C# 7.3 design.

https://github.com/dotnet/corefxlab/tree/master/docs/specs

The TL;DR; version, basically async/await, the UWP AOT compiler, improved handling of value types, spans (aka slices), improved GC (TryStartNoGCRegion()) have their roots in System C# used in Midori.

Also there are some influences of Singularity, namely Bartok and MDIL, on the WP 8.x AOT compiler, but that is not longer relevant.
Whilst that is true, for data science related things I end up using Pandas (and Numpy) often which are fast.

So most of the heavy lifting is not done by python itself.
> As there are more than an average number of stupidities there.

Please post more meaningful comments. Sure it doesn't have static typing or performance of C, but it has a stable framework in every conceivable application (Web Dev, machine learning, CLI, you name it) and works as a top notch scripting language. This is not "stupidity", it was by design to make it batteries included and easy to use with a tradeoff with the above things.
Zoom in a bit and forget about Bloomberg's credibility as a whole and look just at the journalists involved in this story. This isn't their first time hyping up garbage, but it's a lot more audacious:

https://twitter.com/RobertMLee/status/1049617855396933632
>> Apple has never found malicious chips, “hardware manipulations” or vulnerabilities purposely planted in any server.

Then where are they buying their hardware? Every company that I've talked to who purchases electronics from China has had issues. Stuff isn't as ordered. Strange boards are added. You have to rigorously inspect everything. Nobody has told me about rice-sized stealth chips, but malware, old firmware (ie with known/public vulnerabilities) and under-spec parts are a norm in the industry.

What seems odd about this Bloomberg story is the difference in intent. Rather than a supplier trying to save a few bucks, or a wayward employee inserting something to harvest CC details, they ascribe this to government conspiracy, to a cold war battle between secret squirrels.
Keep seeing this 'delta' word. From context it is basically like 'difference'. But is there a delta between difference and delta?
