But far cheaper to raise money in public markets than private.

Once you’re big enough, IPOing makes sense, unless you just want to maintain control or those pesky compliance requirements will reveal some harsh secrets.

What does "self executing" mean in this context? I assume there is no JIT compiler embedded in the license right ;)
My two cents... (with my only experience being installing Wireguard on a RPi to get a VPN connection back to my home).

I think the biggest problem is the lack of a simple GUI process to manage the connection.

I have scripts setup to run `wg-quick up` or down hanging out in my menubar (Mac), but that's not something that I'd expect everyone to be able to do or setup themselves. However, a "Enterprise" managed environment might be able to come up with something that works. This is something that the community could fix independently.

However, (at least for Macs) the install process requires installing Homebrew, installing a package at the command line, editing a config file with strange keys, etc... This could all be GUI-fied and made less intimidating.

But, the other (probably bigger) thing for corporate use is having a company behind the protocol to be able to buy products, support contracts, etc... I mean, a company isn't going to switch from an SSL VPN to Wireguard if you can't have an outside entity to sue if things go wrong. This is something that will just take time to build up the comfort and scale.

> Swift was designed by highly experienced and mature compiler devs

"Compiler devs". I think that is exactly my point. I should have said "app developers" or "system designers". If you listen to a Rich Hickey talk, you'll see that he is all about Getting Things Done in the real world, and much less about theoretical concepts. Language design is subservient to app developer needs.
Private blockchain seems to be crossing the chasm at a much better place. Bitcoin has yet to offer something of value to the mass market. My money is pretty much digital already, and I'm not really down with my transactions being out in the public. Perhaps another crypto currency will meet the needs of the major market, though I have a hunch the current financial institutions will get there first.

If you're going to made broad assumptions, then using any framework is technical debt.

Also, if a developer told me that using PHP for a project causes technical debt, I would fire him.
While admittedly it's been a few months since I tried out the Golang userland client on OSX, the last time I did, it suffered from strange latency spikes and packet loss. I've only had luck with the Linux kernel implementation. (Which works swimmingly on my Linux and Android (self-maintained Lineage build) devices.
Would you be willing to make a friendly wager on whether it returns bigger than ever? My ten dollars says it will within, say, two years. What do you say?
This was basically folk knowledge when I was growing up in Brazil. Theater classes for teenagers were like 40% attractive people who want to make it as actors/60% awkward teens.

From a basic trust in the scientific process (but also noting the limits of scientific psychology) I figure that social anxiety and the like are serious mental illnesses. But I immigrated as a three-year old and didn't know the language/make any friends for a while, so my social skills always lagged. Theater lessons (some of which was improv, but we wrote our own sketches for a capstone play for our own families) sort of helped me balance that. If there was any anxiety it was secondary/symptomatic of some underdeveloped stuff, much like people develop math anxiety.

In retrospect, I attribute it to the "growth mindset" phenomenon: beginners make fools of themselves onstage whether they are awkward or easygoing, so you realize that being-comfortable-in-your-skin is something you can learn rather than something you were born without. Maybe this is what people are going to "hackathons" for - in a pressured time-boxed situation people are less likely to look down on the less math/programming-literate and help them instead.
FWIW: The vast majority of his contributions are certainly not owned by him.

(He worked for Google for a while while working on LLVM, etc).
It's somewhat overwrought, but there actually is some signal in that noise:

- Using off-the-shelf products, instead of bespoke projects. That was historically somewhat rare in the military, I believe?

- "virtual-augmented-mixed reality" seems to be intended to make people think about more than just "virtual" reality, which is a somewhat tired concept

- "most ready force" is a reflection of the military's priorities (not winning world wars, but being flexible)

- "paradigm shift" Ok, I don't have much of an excuse for that one

Overall, I think there's a lot to unpack in that sentence. And I would struggle to repackage it in anything less than a paragraph, or a list as above.
"Is advanced machine learning a very complicated way of reproducing the results of trivial forecasting methods? In many cases it appears this is the case."

If by "many cases" you mean "the one example I looked at which was carried out by an undergrad" than sure. That sort of phrasing really gives away the author's bias.
I could still see it getting bigger - you can’t buy a bitcoin ETF yet. Not saying it’ll ever happen, but there are big pools of money out there that haven’t touched crypto yet.
No, the DPI box or another network box should be the one that is actually sending the cert. You are only exchanging a cert with DPI and then the DPI will send it’s cert to your destination.

The client must trust the DPI cert for it to work.
Features like empty divs on top of video? Could be by accident ofc, but the entire story makes this unlikely.
I'll have to try that. My one weird trick here is a little different.

Long ago I read somebody's theory (Bruce Chawin's, maybe?) that the reason so many poisons cause dizziness is that the inner ear is an extremely delicate mechanism and so is easily thrown off such that visual perception and positional sense no longer matches what the ear is saying. The theory further suggests that the brain is evolved to work that backwards: if the body is sufficiently dizzy, it has been poisoned, so it had better empty the stomach.

For me the trick is to keep motion perception in sync with the inner ear. So if I'm on a boat, I'll aim my head in the direction we're heading and think of myself as moving with the boat. Same thing with cars: on a bumpy or swervy taxi ride I'll look straight ahead and think of myself as moving with the car.

It sounds ridiculous, but it works well for me. Living in SF, I've had many chances to try it out.

From the article:

"Now researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried, the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, and the Helmholtz Zentrum München have demonstrated that, in mice, transplanted embryonic nerve cells can indeed be incorporated into an existing network and correctly carry out the tasks of damaged cells originally found in that region."
It clearly doesn't, because it is biting them in the ass now.

I suspect that the social justice enforcement officers at Patreon are calling the shots, and the people making decisions about the business are powerless to oppose because their jobs are on the line.

It's all about virtue signalling. They're signalling the wrong virtues though. If they don't fix their internal culture they'll run themselves into the ground soon enough.
Golang is not what Knuth has in mind. Literate programming is primarily long explanatory comments written around code snippets in a narrative form. Such that you could sit down and read a whole listing as you would a book.

When I interviewed Knuth in 2008 [1], we discussed the failure of literate programming. As you'd expect, he was realistic about the reasons. (About half way down the page)

Weird. I've been primarily using Internet in China, and I have never heard of 265.com before. I believe that's also the case for most Chinese Internet users. I doubt how valuable the data collected from that site would be.
That’s fine, but if it’s not publicly accessible don’t advertise the pay for entry content, the masses can’t view it without waiting for someone to post a workaround link.

The last bit is a solved problem.

They’re called “bought deals”. An investment bank has a public-traded equity desk that will buy, up-front, $x billion of your stock at $Y. Then they’ll email blast/call their retail investors to buy it up over the next few weeks.

The banks take the risk of not filling the order with retail buyers, which happens occasionally.
I would love an analysis on who is moving the market today. In the last month there have been three occurrences where the price of BTC jumped 10% in a single moment (followed by equal sell-offs hours/days later).

Stranger still, all coins seem highly correlated. BTC goes up, all coins go up.

I realize this behavior is not new and the market has been highly correlated since the beginning, ...but why?
This is bad science. This is not a real thing. Neither does running water nearby, or lighting a candle in the kitchen. None of this affects the root cause of your problem.

Onion tears are caused by 2 different chemicals held apart by the onion's cellular structure. Every time you cut an onion, the cells rupture and mix, aerosolization and making you cry when the acid gets into your eyes. A sharp knife (as mentioning in another comment) would help minimize the amount of cellular damage and therefor the gas produced. You can also wear goggles.

Everything else is bunk. From-A former professional chef and person particularly sensitive to onions. (I just learned to cut onions with my eyes closed)
Thanks Josh - makes a lot of sense. We have added two features to the interface:
1) You can output data from modules and directly insert them into a python code editor for manipulation.
2) You can deploy your python script from the command line and it auto generates a visual module that works with all of the other libraries on the platform.

There’s millions/billions in sunk costs embedded in them, in the form of electricity bills already paid by miners. But being sunk costs, they do not contribute to any intrinsic value on their own.
And this is an unsourced assumption of bad faith.

No, it's a reasonable interpretation of a definitive open-source project pushing back hard.

It's also one portion of an example of people disagreeing about what's best for "the community", or in other words an example of where politics comes from. And you're showing another angle on that, which is people assuming the worst of eachother.
The real issue here is whether or not this same logic will apply to the average citizen. And we know it won't. Nor should it. At the end of the day, we are responsible for our actions with only very, very few exceptions that are already laid out in the law (i.e. temporary insanity, severe mental illness, etc.). It sounds like what is being argued for my Miller is that we expand the exception list in a big way. One that society likely will find unacceptable. Also, I'd be really curious to see if Miller wants to apply this same standard to everyone across the board. Because right now, if I shoot someone - even if in self defense - there's a good chance that I will be charged and have to defend myself in court to prove it was in self defense and a lawful act because the bar for me being apply to apply deadly force is very high.

The rules are already very different for cops in the current state of affairs. They already have every advantage and already face extremely low odds of being charged. As the article mentions, only 96 officers have been charged since 2005, which is ridiculous. We've seen a lot of absurd cases that were major news where officers weren't even charged. Sure, I would bet that the overwhelming majority are totally legitimate. But I also think there are way too many that go un-charged.

And I'd bet my life (no pun intended) that this same logic will definitely not apply to the average citizen if they shoot another citizen. And I'd bet my child's life that this logic would never, ever, ever be used in defense of a citizen if they had the gall to shoot (gasp) a police officer.

We the people bear some responsibility for this situation of officer shootings. Juries routinely either fail to indict in the grand jury or acquit if it actually goes to trial far too often. And these jurors themselves do not apply the same standards that would apply to the rest of us.

Accounting for population difference, on a per capita basis US police officers shoot citizens at a rate 37 times more frequently than the UK. Now, you can either choose to believe that the US has 37 times more serious violent crime that would justify that level of violence by cops. Or you can choose to believe there is a problem with US the way US police go about their business.
The interest doesn't disappear, it lands in the pocket of the lender, only the principal does disappear.

If you do indeed lend 100k$ from a central bank and they "print" the money then the money supply increases by 100k$ for the duration of the loan. When you pay it back the money vanishes into nothingness again. Interest payments go to the central bank which makes a profit, governments spend the income and the money starts circulating within the economy again. [1]

Except those were very specifically not the same corporations who pushed/desired the relicensing, so this makes no sense.

Of course, you are off asserting a whole bunch of stuff with no data or knowledge, so i don't think that will stop you.

Additionally, you keep asserting/repeating it's "not for the benefit of the community at large" or "in the interests or desire of the community".

Can you please cite any evidence of that?
I am a huge crypto currency skeptic and think the market is largely driven by massive amounts of fraud.

That said -- eventually the price will drop to the point where the price is entirely driven by Bitcoin's natural customer base -- tax cheats, money launderers, drug dealers, etc, and will probably in fact over correct.

Just for the sake of argument, let's said that 'natural price' is $500 or $600 a bitcoin -- it bottomed out around $300 last time and we've had a 'halvening' since then. So let's imagine the price drops down to below $1000, and stays around that range for a year or more. Then a new halvening happens, the price doubles to $2000. Maybe someone figures out how to do something useful with cryptocurrency? 3-4 years from now, people will have already forgotten about the last bubble and might FOMO again. Bitcoin has a long history of boom and bust with each boom being bigger than the last. It won't take much to convince people that another boom is on the offing.
I wonder what sort of information Google might dredge up during discovery that Microsoft wouldn't want to see the light of day. I'm no lawyer/accountant, so I don't know what amount of money would be worth that risk.

> "abolition of the value-form"

Isn't that a feature of only the final stage of social evolution according to Marx? The one that Marx calls "communism" (not to be confused with e.g. "communist countries" or "communist parties", as a reference to their politics). A close relative to the communist stage wrt. the theory of market economies would be what we call a "post-scarcity economy" - except that it's not really a 'core idea' in any sense. It might or might not happen at some point in the future, but a market theorist has no need for that hypothesis.

I'd love to comment about the remark you quote regarding the "preservation of the Establishment" and how ironic it sounds today, but to do that I'd have to mention some quite uncomfortable facts about present-day political dynamics, which would take us very far from the subject, and deep into partisan controversy. Sorry!

The Bitcoin hype cycle is driven by the mass media. Like this article, they pile on when BTC/USD exchange rate falls through the floor.

During the period of stability that follows, they're nowhere to be found.

About crypto, I sometimes make bold claims, that are downvoted [1], but I stand by them. And they come true [2] much more often than not.

Last time was about DOGE. Went quite up as predicted, went a bit down during the last crash but still like at position #21 today. And I still expect it to go higher - at least around #15 soon, unless something similar comes.

Before that, it was against ETH maximalism [3] - that ETH was not going to be #1 even while it was raising. I thought it was a good #2 but even that seems was too generous, as it is now in #3 and I can easily see it sliding down more.

Likewise, I state that BTC will bubble up, again and again, until something else offers better features. I haven't seem that "something" yet, hence my claim. The only question is how low it will go before it bubbles up. I'd say 1000. There isn't blood in the streets yet, the crash is just starting :)
