The energy cost isn't exactly in creating bitcoins. The energy cost is in securing the network against people doing 51%-attacks, and bitcoins are set to be minted out of thin air and transaction fees are paid out in order to incentivize people to protect the network. Mining will still be necessary after all bitcoins are minted, or else anyone could 51%-attack the network and double-spend bitcoins.
> “The difficulties in agreeing reforms that both advance the cause of regional integration and are palatable to officials in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau and the central government will be the key challenge.”

It is obvious that the central government is the main problem and hindrance to development and freedom. Without it in the picture, those regions would have already connected.

But what is more likely to happen is the centralizers will do what they deem to be necessary to create a larger, and still centralized version of Guangdong.

Under the disguise of economic development Hong Kong's freedoms are bound to shrink. "If you're against political centralization, you're against prosperity"

I think your comment even though correct might be less impactful to your computer resources than you wanted. If you're reading books in the epub format, then this app will load a web engine anyway. Epubs are in essence a zipped collection of HTML files, so even though the UI is some snappy non-electron solution, webkit is still loaded and in memory and being used to render the book.

Have you used Julia recently? Vectorised operations are just as fast relative to hand written loops as c and FORTRAN, you just need to appropriately annotate @inbounds and @simd. Sure that’s more work, but removing safety checks should be explicit.
I like the first part of your answer. But perhaps not for the reasons, you might think... I like it because that seems to be the only answer people have when it comes to any meditation-related religion.

I don't practice I just observe.

That is also the beauty of Buddhism. You don't need a Buddha statue in your home in order to "practice". It's a science of the mind in its fundamental form. It's easy to take with you and you can find a lot of support very quickly.

Also, it's great to get firsthand experience by talking to monks.

In Nepal, India, Thailand, and Cambodia (countries I have been to) the practice of Buddhism prevails very strongly. Cambodia and Nepal are my favorites in terms of how much Buddhism "is in the air".

I would like to visit Myanmar soon as well as I have heard only good things about it.

Maybe they're expressing their frustrations with Apple in general, but it is weak to exaggerate.

And I'm unsure if you're an Apple fanboy or not, but you maybe missing the big picture aside from this article: Apple is now just like supermarket produce - pretty, tasteless garbage. The facts are:

- Those low-profile keyboards are loud, uncomfortable and frequently break

- Glued in batteries basically destroyed if removed

- Overpriced

- Many MLB failures causing all sorts of random problems

- Many overpriced dongles required to do anything

- Non-Apple USB-A to -C adapter disconnects WiFi, but works fine on all other brands. Not just one adapter, multiple peripherals cause this issue.

- All sorts of other random quality issues and first year breakages

- No official parts channel

- Hidden/proprietary tools for diagnostics, repair and dead MLB SSD transfer

- Soldered in RAM

- Soldered in SSD

- No available schematics for repair

- Apple declares almost every model "vintage" at six years, preventing repairs and further OS upgrades

In conclusion, if someone is willing to take all this abuse when Apple clearly tells them "FU," what should an observer think? To me, it says: SJ is gone, a bean counter and a Bentley-chauffeured designer don't have a clue, so it's time to give up on Apple's computers until they find some vision and awareness.

Oh, by far that’s the more reasonable interview.

That’s actually how I test an audience when I speak in public (I might be a bit more specific, like “should you regularise your data before a PCA?”): I ask the question, those who have an opinion, I brand them as “in the know” and I introduce a gesture towards them; and the others, I say that my talk isn’t technical, but I re-use both gestures when making that distinction again.

A friend of mine had a brilliant equivalent when talking about data engineering, saying “And we never had any problem after that.”

There is no comparison between Apple and Lenovo. Apple is notorious for being a closed ecosystem company. They charge a premium price, control the app store, control the hardware, practice planned obsolescence all in the name of "providing a premium user experience". If they are going to overcharge me a "premium tax", they better earn it.

Most linux users expect some problems when deciding to go the linux route. When you decide to use linux as your daily driver, you expect to sometimes get your hands dirty. Also, companies like system76 offer laptops created for running linux so you are bound to have a much much better experience out of the box.
Having just turned 30, this resonates with me too well. Seeing it on paper helps a bit, but it still sucks.

Along the lines of what others have said in this thread, I hate. Hate. Hate. Sitting at a desk for my job and staring into a little box. It just seems hysterical that we will likely spend most of our working lives staring at little boxes with lots of text and images on them. This isn’t the real world. It’s all just conjured up on a screen for profit and entertainment. Computers have taken over our lives and seem to be replacing even social interaction for some people. I’m sick of it. And as soon as you turn <device> off, it doesn’t F*ing matter anymore.

I bet nearly every intellectual profession now is dominated by computer-based work. And it sucks because the old jobs - bakers, builders, mechanics, etc. - don’t pay nearly as much as the jobs that any 22 year old making shitty web apps with React can get paid. Am I flippant? Yes. Do I know where to go from here? Nope.
Those are great questions to ask any employer, but I’m not sure if you want to work for a larger company, those are good questions to ask. Let’s just say: I don’t have evidence you can ask and get an offer.

I'd agree here. My wife was a teacher (teacher of the year in her second year, promoted to admin in her last) but left after 8 years. Why? The depressing realities of the state of the teaching profession - she decided she wanted to leave it behind to work with me in software and is much happier.

There is a signal bridge [0], but it is a little hacky. I would imagine moxie won't condone an 'official' bridge to matrix, given his stance on federated chat. Also: any realistic (short-term) bridges will have to basically be a man-in-the-middle, breaking the end to end crypto. In the (very?) long term MLS [1] may allow for e2ee through a bridge, but that would probably mean that signal has to explicitly support it. Given the track-record of OWS I personally doubt that would happen, but I'm just a random guy from the internet, so what do I know.
I do know that the matrix people are looking at MLS and are willing to implement it in matrix if it finalizes, though they'll currently focus on their own megolm implementation, which is very close to being perfect, from my perspective.

I'm not really a photographer, but a software developer with gadget cravings causing me to have a few cameras of different brands.

Canon's smartphone app is quite terrible (although this is a slam at smartphone UX, not camera UX), but I can't really see smartphone apps for cameras as anything other than a useless gimmick.

However, that app has no relation to how it is to use a modern camera. Comparing the UI's of iOS, Sony's Android camera app, Sony's A6000 and Canon mirrorless/dslr, Canon's modern mirrorless UX is by far the best. Easiest to use, prettiest, etc.

For everything an iPhone can do, Canon works exactly the same, but then Canon also does so much more. Focus point is by touch screen, and it's much more responsive than my phone. It also seems much smarter with regards to tracking. Important settings are in the HUD, rest in an quick menu one touch away.

All of this is of course subjective and anecdotal, but I would by quite saddened to end up with smartphone-d cameras. I do not see it making any positive improvement.

I agree with you and would like to add that he is probably not the best non-korean Protoss either. The blog presenting AlphaStar itself only claims he is one of the worlds strongest players and link to this post: https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/2018_StarCraft_II_World_Ch... showing Mana at 5th best non-korean Protoss players in the World Championship series.

AlphaStar has gotten critisism for it having unfair advantages. It was 5-0 against Mana when it could see and control the whole map at once for example. But after a camera-restriction was given (so it sees the map like humans) it lost 0-1.

With all this said, it is still impressive. Best bot we have by far in sc2!

It’s not always a mistake. The OR or AND just provides initial filter and then you get to rank pages and take top N. If your ranking algorithm put a lot of weight on the fact that all words exist then you can get same result as AND but with benefit that if no page exist then you may suggest something. It also depends on how you present these results.

> Google and facebook are about the opposite of who you should be listening to for advice on general purpose systems. Their machines are basically embedded servers, and exist in a very strict environment with lots of engineering oversight.

They have so many servers and different configuration needs that they need to boot their servers reliably, security, with integrity and they need to boot a wide variety of different systems.

> UEFI, is

You didn't seem to watch any of the sources that I provided. I'm not making an argument for uboot. The systems that I recommend as better the UEFI can do everything UEFI can do and actually do much more and are much more flexible, not to mention far more secure.

> That is the point with UEFI, to attempt to fill the gaps in what is possible with a given platform without creating a wild west of incompatible formats and hacky solutions for every platform (which is the current state of uboot/DT despite nearly a decade of work).

You don't seem to know how actually UEFI works on servers. Each vender uses tons of old unsecure bloated firmware full of different drivers that are very badly maintained and don't get security updates. UEFI is at the point where for a commercial server there are more lines of code then the linux OS you are booting into. Its a total security nightmare and a horrible situation in terms of open source as most of these things are closed source. The UEFI core might be open source but even that is not actually used and tracked upstream, vendors all use their own forks.

UEFI is complete separated layer that is its own OS, reinventing the wheel putting a totally insecure ring under your OS.
It helped me a lot by just practicing painting. I enjoyed viewing art before then. But, it wasn’t until I attempted to express my vague ideas onto a canvas that I truly appreciated the masters’ mastery.

Death by Customer
Apple's latest macs have all kinds of bugs and glitches that I can't remember ever being present in ~2010-2015 MBPs, including but not limited to what's mentioned here (the already-shoddy keyboard being taken out by a spec of dust, speakers blowing out entirely, screen develops massive artifacts / heat damage from closing lid "too early", fan is a permanent 747 ready for takeoff, on and on and on).

The quality of their laptops is sub-par relative to the price point. At this point, the software / OS is the strongest selling point (to me, at least), but my patience is wearing thin and at a certain point I'd rather just go back to Linux rather than deal with this absurd form-over-function design-uber-alles paradigm they've embraced.

Julia fits the bill quite well in my opinion:

* features: you have an extensive standard library, macros, high level constructs (like generators, asynchronous programming, ...)

* performance: julia is based on LLVM and as long the code is type-stable and avoids memory allocation in hot loops, the performance is similar to C or Fortran.

* usability: you can also program at a very high level like you would do in matlab or python/numpy.

> per Transaction calculations are completely flawed

They seem fairly important to me, but OK, what metric are you comparing on to claim that the current banking system is using far more raw energy?

Bitcoin has a market cap of $70B and daily volume of transactions of $10B.

NYSE covers about $20T alone for just 4000 companies. Scaled up, bitcoin would be over 10% of world energy use.

SWIFT seems to deal with about $5T per day https://www.fincen.gov/news_room/rp/files/Appendix_D.pdf so that'd be bitcoin taking about 20% of total global energy use if scaled up.

By what measure do you want to back up the claim that the current system is far more energy intensive? I'm trying to find one and honestly struggling.
