I wonder if someday we'll reach a point where we recognize consciousness in most animals and think it was ridiculous that earlier people didn't see such an obvious fact.

Or, as postgresql calls it, "varchar":

> The storage requirement for a short string (up to 126 bytes) is 1 byte plus the actual string, which includes the space padding in the case of character. Longer strings have 4 bytes of overhead instead of 1. Long strings are compressed by the system automatically, so the physical requirement on disk might be less. Very long values are also stored in background tables so that they do not interfere with rapid access to shorter column values. In any case, the longest possible character string that can be stored is about 1 GB.

I think you're right about the naivety. Taking the existing complexity and opaqueness and implementing it in Ethereum isn't really doable.

OTOH... I do think that private company equity/ESOP is due some changes. Companies are staying private a lot longer and there are some (like Uber) that now have >$bn ESOP schemes which could be managed in a better way.

It's hard. There are a lot of different interests at play, some competing. Purposeful obscurity and such.

You'd need to convince these companies to do things differently. In effect, any idea that "does ESOP on Ethereum" is an idea for a stock market of some sort.

Not a bad idea, but a big scary one with lots of hard problems (not technically hard) and risk. Naivety might raise your chances. The existence of blockchain is a tool for solving some of them, but Im not sure that it's a pivotal piece. Running centralised would be fine too. Ultimately, a single company originates all the contracts anyway.

If I were scheming such a scheme, I'd probably focus on things that aid fundraising.. that's really the purpose of a stock market, which is what a liquid ESOP system is.

TLDR: The problem isn't "ESOP needs to be Ethereum." The problem is "companies aren't using the regular stock market, find an alternative."

For drinks that get free refills the initial sale means more than the refills. It literally cost 1c to provide the drink and you sold it for $3.00 (that's the 300% margin). Who cares if you spend another 1c to provide a free refill if that would be the difference in the customers mind on whether they should buy the drink initially or just have water or OJ (something that has negative margin, or a very low margin).

Ethical design in Geary
This is not a design requirement - just something to keep in mind when designing a system. Otherwise, you're going to have a tough time requiring a `tussenvoegsel` form field in cultures where nobody knows what that is (spoiler: it's the Dutch "van " prefix; been there), or requiring that everyone has a middle name (USA), or a second surname (Mexico).

In other words, the usual problem is not "how do I fulfill all of these things?", but "how do I convince the USians that ASCII is not just insufficient, but that not even using Latin-1 won't do?"

The patent system is just a mechanism that uses the threat of state violence to prop up the idea that an idea is property that can be owned. This concept is false, and the sooner people abandon that model the better off we will all be. The state can’t use the threat of violence to make pi equal to 3, to make a public domain codec a “google invention”, nor to deed title to the number two. Remember, parents are just an industrial incentive mechanism propped up by cops, nothing more.

I'd like to see a essay about starting a business outside the SV. Maybe even outside a startup hippie communities in general.

* no investors interested in pre-seed phase - they all say that you should call them when you are already profitable

* nobody interested in being cofounder - cold cash only

* clients saying that they like your MVP - but you unknown, so they won't buy the product anyway

I don't mean that in SV things are magically happening on its own, but sometimes I have an impression that anywhere else you have to be twice as bold and twice as careful to get 1/10th of a result... Yet they are written in a way that suggest that you can easily reproduce SV results everywhere.

I have my dear copy of Abramowitz and Stegun on the bookshelf next to my desk and I refer to it nearly weekly. E.g., yesterday I had a postdoc asking me about a strange numerical scheme for computing derivatives using five points that he found, and looking at the appropriate page on the handbook we could easily find its name, history, and main properties; and thanks to that, understand whether a different scheme would be more appropriate in his case.

Then, during some of my courses on numerical analysis, I like to brandish the book in front of the students, and explain to them how awesome it is.

Come on, the majority of people regardless of their generation will have grown up playing music on dodgy speakers, whether that's 8 track player in a car, a portable transistor radio, a boombox running on D-cells or a CD player with builtin speakers.

If you read correctly, it was removed 15 days ago, and we have no idea what's the status since then.
My thoughts exactly. I'd like to be able to hear the guitar here and the vocalist here and the drums over there. If the individual sounds move around separately that's cool. The Virtual Barber Shop example does a good job illustrating that, with a voice on one side and a phone on the other simultaneously etc. They even play with distance as well as direction. I have only a vague idea how that works, but it definitely adds to the experience. The Bohemian Rhapsody example, by contrast, is just crap. Panning the entire ensemble from left to right, over and over? Meh. Then it's not even stereo like it was originally. It's just sequential mono. It's reduced, not expanded.

These effects generally require at least having the original separate tracks, if not specialized recording techniques. However, I still have hope that advanced signal processing can separate the parts well enough after the fact to get a satisfactory result. I'm no ML fanboi by any means, but I'm pretty sure those techniques could be productively brought to bear on the problem as well. I'll bet there's a grad student or two working on it right now, and I wish them great success.
If the fear of being publicly proven wrong or held liable causes people to hedge/water down their advice, maybe this creates a space that allows frauds, charlatans, and confident fools to thrive.
I could see that working.

Maybe the problem is that the current visions for a utopian future aren't inspiring.

In other sci-fi you strap on a badass lightsaber/phaser/gun jump in your spaceship/mecha/Mad Max Muscle Car, and live by your own rules.

In modern utopianism, private ownership of weapons is banned, everyone uses public transportation, everyone's vegan, etc. (I realize this is a bit of a stereotype, but I'm just trying to generalize/exaggerate to illustrate what I mean.)

I'm not trying to say that futurists do something like militarize their vision of the future in order to be cool, but I do think they need to figure out a way to present a future that is compelling.
I mean... sure... but then, Mayweather is one of a handful of people who's ever grossed more than $1b in personal earnings, together with Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. And some boxers have done terrifically financially outside of boxing, too, take George Foreman who made a quarter billion dollars off of a grill. The entire reason Mayweather was even asked to promote this thing is because he represents financial success like almost no other athlete on the planet ever has in the history of mankind. It's easy to dismiss him as a guy who gets punched in the face for a living, that's not the issue here.

At the same time I can list hundreds of people who give poor financial advice who have advanced degrees and decades of experience in finance. I mean hell, Mike Tyson is the posterboy for a boxer with some of the highest earnings who ended up bankrupt, and he hired Donald Trump as his financial adviser at one point haha.

In short, I certainly would be less inclined than average to take advice from someone who gets punched in the face for a living, but at the end of the day, you find smart people everyone, and you find treacherous people everywhere, too. I'd rather have an unremarkable advisor than a treacherous one (sadly Mayweather in this case was both, but not because he gets punched in the face for a living).

> Maybe it’s because CS curricula tends to teach searching/sorting algorithms before data structures, specifically BSTs.

I think it's more because sorting is all about "efficiency", and sorting things without allocating a ton of intermediate data structures is viewed as more efficient. The blog does mention the deforestation optimization, which (if implemented sufficiently heroically) would remove the intermediate tree in the QuickSort example. But now we're straying pretty far from a simple sorting algorithm in a first high-level algorithms course to a more complex and less abstract beast that is only maximally efficient if you assume a heroic compiler.

As a side note, heap sort (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heapsort) does perform sorting by constructing an intermediate heap data structure. It's just that the data structure is implicit as it is built in-place in the array to be sorted.

> If you think about it a BST defines order and a sorting algorithm achieves it so naturally the output of a sort can be seen as a BST (flattening it to a list is somewhat irrelevant).

Or, similarly, the construction of a BST is a sort: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_sort
