Microsoft Research pretty much work on bleeding edge tech, as well and publish about some of their research pretty regularly. Here's a staring point to help anyone interested find relevant publications: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/research-area/syste...

I thought one of the beauty of vue template is 'It is not complete set of JavaScript logics, only subset that just able to support proper html structure.'.

It means you can't abuse JavaScript everywhere, creating totally unreadable render function, nest array mapping in Ternary operator and reduce it to what the hell no one can read and destroy all the readabilities.

For me, for you, for everyone, if you using that syntax, then it is simply readable just like html.

Less powerful, but the management definitly worth more.
A terabyte a month! Wow. At this point, it seems like reducing this for most clients would help. Have you looked into recursive zkp like what coda is doing?

No copyright holders being paid is theft. Authors write and should be paid for their efforts. This is glorified and legalized privacy.
>>> Consumers can make a difference by buying less, or buying products that can more easily be reused or recycled, but that’s only part of the equation. Countries, states and cities need to press producers to design more sustainable products and packaging, and develop more recycling infrastructure.

What? No mention of corporations, of the many corporate interests that this material serves. I don't want plastic wrapping on everything. So long as the product gets where it needs to be nor does the manufacture really care. It is the middle men, the retail stores, that insist on the extra packaging. Lots of packaging is there for purely commercial interests such as to prevent easy theft or as space for advertising.

I recently ordered some flashlights from china. They were made of aluminum and came in simple cardboard boxes. Nearly all of the order was recyclable. No inky labels, no bubble wrap, no silly nylon lanyards, no plastic beyond a tiny piece of tape to hold the box closed. Nothing was in those boxes except for the exact product I ordered. That's the progress we need.
What is the basis of your comment that for filing patents companies have to move their employees?

Multitude of my coworkers in India who have filed and have been granted hundreds of patents would vehemently disagree with you!
>Well, "your ideas" contains your idea of them respecting the fact that people have different ideas and values [...]"

I have ideas on different levels that shouldn't be conflated. I'm not asking Apple or anyone else to share my preferences and tastes.

But some meta ideas are a prerequisite for disagreement on preferences, tastes and beliefs. Without those ideas we are moving towards authoritarianism.

Once global companies become dominant enough, their decisions start to either facilitate or hinder liberty and authoritarianism, even under the assumption that they have to comply with the law at all times.

I don't think being seen to be on the side of oppression and authoritarianism against your own users is ultimately conducive to maximising profits.
Maybe it's a combination of both the bad UI and lack of real use cases. After all, if there is a real demand for decentralized storage space, then it doesn't matter the UI, people will still use it even if it's in beta. The lever just hasn't been tilted enough with a real immediate need.
That makes a lot of sense. And even matchmaking, if implemented badly, won't help much: when matchmaking is based on monotonic point accumulation, players with sub-average skill growth will be pushed out. Likewise, if the matchmaking rank decays slower (or not at all) than actual skill, players who took a break will leave when they try to return.

What about those with a mimblewimble implementation? As I understand it, those cryptocurrencies know how much was mined, and how much each address owns now, but the intermediate transactions are purged.
It's important to note here that Linux's behaviour is broken, plain and simple: /dev/random blocks even if properly seeded, and /dev/urandom doesn't block even if improperly seeded.

The Real Solution™ is to make /dev/random and /dev/urandom the same thing, and make them both block until properly seeded. And replace the current ad-hoc CSPRNG with a decent one, e.g. Fortuna. There were patches almost 15 years ago implementing this (https://lwn.net/Articles/103653/), but they were rejected.

There's simply no good reason not to fix Linux's CSPRNG.
Apart from the main battery and any backup batteries that laptop would probably work if it were left in storage for a few decades. The power supply is another story, that probably would need to have its electrolytic capacitors replaced before it would work reliably (or at all). Laptops don't contain that much hardware which deteriorates in time, especially not when left un-powered to avoid electromigration becoming an issue. Switch-mode power supplies don't hold up well and their failure mode is often catastrophic, this in contrast to linear power supplies which start suffering from ever-larger ripple current as the buffer capacitors lose electrolyte over time. The main reason for this is that switch-mode power supplies have large electrolytic buffer capacitors on the high-voltage side while linear power supplies only have them on the low-voltage end. I've repaired many a 'boat-anchor' (large transformer-equipped linear) power supply by simply swapping out the buffer capacitors. Blown switch-mode power supplies usually don't come back to life by swapping capacitors, these often need to have some active components replaced before anything interesting (other than the rapid release of magic smoke) happens.
Which is link to a previous article, so adds a level of indirection. If you'd cited that in the first place, fine.

Even if the complaint letter turns out to be upheld (unlikely given the history of the authors, but you never know), it doesn't affect, or even question, the conclusion of the meta study in the Guardian piece you did link to. The one that concludes climate is only a significant secondary factor.

Until said letter is upheld as finding a valid flaw in the study, it's worthless. That's how science progresses. Individual studies are found accurate or wanting, further research confirms, disputes or adds precision.

A few steps from the hyperbole of "flawed to the point of uselessness", as though it is already proven.
That's a really interesting idea, do you have any source?
Intentional debasement is one way of getting out of very serious national financial problems. It is unpleasant, but it's chosen (or, more likely, can't be prevented) because the alternatives are worse. If you make this option impossible for your government, you're setting up your country for some very bad consequences the next time in some economic disaster it would have needed to have that rapid inflation, but can't have it.

Hyperinflation is a symptom of economic problems, not the origin of it. If you find a way to prevent nominal inflation by crypto, it doesn't prevent the related problems. There's a good reason why we got rid of the gold standard, which had all the same problems as a crypto-based economy would have, and was unsustainable because of that.

Since you mention bond positions, if they'd were denominated in non-inflationary crypto, in any such scenario they'd drop anyway - if it wouldn't be possible by inflation, then it'd happen by defaults. Which would also mean a default of all credit institutions. Which would then mean the disruption of most businesses who rely on these institution. Which would then mean nonpayment of salaries. Which would then cause a lack of demand, causing even more economic problems. Compared to that, a semi-orderly inflation (up to the extent that is required) is preferable to a cascade of defaults. The vast majority of the money in economy is anyway in the "I owe you" form, and crypto doesn't change that; even if all the economy would move to a cryptocurrency, only something like 2-5% of it could be in the form of "hard coin that I control" and the rest of it is in debt relationships between various businesses.

It sucks to get paid in some paper that's now nearly worthless - however, the alternative isn't to get paid in hard crypto, in such a scenario the possibility to get paid in full doesn't exist. So if we don't have the possibility to get paid in a devaluated currency, then people either don't get paid at all, or have to suddenly invent a new worthless paper currency and build an infrastructure for it, at a time when they don't really have the time and resources to do it. This isn't a hypothetical example - such "currencies" have developed in e.g. various long-term conflict zones.
Indeed. But the learning curve for the current set of crypto wallets and tools is too high to allow any widespread adoption.

These cannot be products for devs only or they will never take off. If you want a $1B product to pursue, someone should built decent tooling for crypto.
>In experiments, Vault reduced the bandwidth for joining its network by 99 percent compared to Bitcoin and 90 percent compared to Ethereum, which is considered one of today’s most efficient cryptocurrencies.

Ethereum is not considered one of today’s most efficient cryptocurrencies, not remotely. One of the most full-featured perhaps, but not efficient. Not even Bitcoin is since the invention of the MimbleWimble protocol, and more recently the even more efficient Coda Protocol. The real efficiency comparison is against those two.

A predetermined monetary policy would be great when a financial crisis or credit crunch hit, causing a collapse in the velocity of money /s

While I have invested in crypto and believe it has great potential, one of its touted benefits by its supporters is also one of its biggest pitfalls, namely that its money supply is predetermined. The inability to actively manage a money supply given exogenous shocks to the economy is a big problem.
I am curious, what made it a maintenance nightmare?

The Cube Design museum in Kerkrade, The Netherlands (near Aachen) [1] has an expo about design in general. This includes half a floor about design flaws, including products which failed. For an English page on it, see [2]. I went to there a few years ago and can recommend. Supported languages are English/Dutch/German. Not sure about French.

But they were right to laugh at Columbus. He was right for the wrong reasons.

Of course, if you don't ever try it, you can never be right for any reasons.

Bitcoin is IMO likely somewhere in between. It kickstarted a new concept in IT but money is a really simple (although powerful) usecase. I'm more interested what will be done with the concept in the future.
I prefer fresh coconut water, straight from the coconut macheted open by street vendors, but recognize this isn’t always available.

There must be pure sources healthier than coca-cola that are more widely accessible.
Why the surprise? BTC is a shallow clone of the bad parts of commodity currency. Nothing new, no new values. Just tightening the same old screws another notch.
(I work for Algorand) This is false. The BFT protocol that Algorand uses guarantees that each round may have exactly one block (up to our security assumptions with regard to honest stake); this is one of the protocol’s “safety” guarantees. In the case that a large number of participating nodes crash, the network will refuse to produce a block until a sufficient amount of stake begins participating again. Nodes that fall behind can use the standard catchup protocol — the one that nodes new to the network make use of — to pick up where they left off.
I feel water purification is least of the concerns when consuming Coke. Anywhere.
Zcash, monero, dash, mimblewimble and quisquis have big challenges. It is not trivial to solve the encrypted coins problem because:

- it is very hard to audit the chain for bugs. If someone finds a bug to create coins through thin air you probably won't notice it.

- regulations by states is made hard. If you are required to pay taxes, and you live in a society, then these things do matter.

If you want cryptocurrencies to work, we need cryptocoins that are not encrypting transactions.
No, we're talking about out-of-print books. There is no one around to claim copyright or payment.

Right now I'm on a 16GB machine that says it's using 3849MB of swap (to SSD). I'm not noticing any slowdown.

I'm happy to let the kernel decide whether it wants to use some of the RAM for disk buffer rather than committed memory.
,,Hard questions do filter out bad engineers, but they also filter out good engineers (that is, they have a high false-negative rate). Easy questions, in contrast, produce fewer false-negatives but more false-positives''

The philosophy at Google is that it's better to filter out 3 good engineers than to let in a bad one. The consequence of this is that it's really hard to get kicked out of Google.

The other part (whether it's more important to work on long easier questions to see how the candidate works on a large code base) is orthogonal reasoning, and that part may be true, depending on what type of engineers somebody is looking for.
I would never say that having less people can do it faster but probably cheaper. Spit balling here, but say four people could do it in 6 months (the aggressive end of your range), what if two people - one UX and one full stack developer took 12 months worse case. I would think:

- While I don't know many "full stack developers" who are good at UX, I know plenty that can do front end development and back end development pretty well. I know a few that can go all the way down and create a decent cloud infrastructure with databases and do devops (raises hand).

- By combining tasks, you don't have to double pay health insurance and benefits for four people.

- Once you pay over the Social Security maximum, you don't have to pay the 6.2% employer side of Social Security, saving a little more money if you pay one or two superstars.

- The whole "Mythical Man Month" thing starts to work in your favor the less communication overhead you have between developers.

- Do most sites have a front end UX complicated enough that you need a full time UX guy at first? Can you outsource that?

My whole family (not affected, btw) is livid. I didn't even bring it to their attention.

I am going to say the exact opposite: this will be one of the most widely publicised health care scandals since forever.
> Almost nobody can, expanding the first point.

Now expand on this point. What about crypto is preventing people from owning some that isn't also preventing them from owning regular money?

> You mean Maduro's?

It's pedantic to differentiate between a State and its actors when discussing policy like this. I mean Venezuela.

I'm talking the Petro Coin, the raids, everything. The whole policy was a response to fears of increased economic freedom for Venezuela's poorest citizens at a time when the government was trying to offload the pain of its bad economic decisions onto them.
South Korea did something similar to heavily support their car manufacturer & electronics manufacturer companies. Hyundai, Samsung.. Population of 40 million and up.
I had radiation therapy a while ago and they were able to take X-rays just by holding a piece of film behind my back. Freaky!
By "American lives", I meant "lives lost as a result of an attack on American soil". That includes civilian lives, including civilians in American territories (i.e. the Philippines, which was part of America at the time, and Hawaii/Wake/Guam/Midway, which still are).

While I understand that this can be an emotional topic, I would appreciate it if you refrained from putting words in my mouth.
Right - I thought of mentioning it, but then decided it was part of the category "making me buy more expensive things". Presumably, I wouldn't have gone into that store otherwise, e.g. because it's more expensive. A similar trick is selling a certain product (e.g. an ingredient) at a loss, because it is often bought together with more expensive products (e.g. the rest of the ingredients of the typical meal).

Of course, you could still benefit from this if you were to visit that store anyway, or would have bought those products anyway. However, that's still the case in my "ignore deals" strategy: I don't actively avoid deals, I just try not to use them as a reason to buy something.
Way to hit at the heart of so many issues.

An early adopter will always have an advantage over somebody who gets on board later. The only way you could prevent this is by actively punishing early adopters. Good luck achieving adoption if you try this.

The mainstream driver is going to be some form of 'disaster'. it can be as mild as 1970s style inflation or a 2008 style crash. It can be as severe as a long-ailing Brazilian Cruzeiro or 1998 Russian debt crisis. (People will bring up Germany or Austria after WWII but that really was a unique situation with reparations, occupation, and bad decision making).

Prepping makes sense to the mainstream once they experience a disaster. And those disasters are being manufactured even now by mis-management of debt.
The first several waves of offworld colonists will get something that most of humanity hasn’t had in a very long time: the power to make a discernible mark on history and to have a clean cut and indisputable sense of value. For several decades, colonies will welcome every pair of hands they can get because there’s so much work to be done, and each role is critically important in keeping the colony running. Everyone from janitor to head colony manager will feel equally needed.
Another version of this course (I think it was an OCW version on YouTube.) had a video of a fish holding position in a stream. There was an obstacle in the stream, and the fish swam up into its wake to save energy. Neat. Then they showed a video of a dead fish being towed through a simulated stream by a line. It exhibited "swimming" behavior that could be dismissed as just flapping in the current right up until the dead fish swam up into the lee of the nearby obstacle for shelter.

It's amazing how much adaptation and complex behavior can be embedded into an underactuated system. A fish's dead body "knows" how to save energy when swimming against a current!

The end is interesting that after the protections were lifted, Thumbs Up and Limca were quickly bought out by Coca-cola for a paltry sum of money ($40m). Seems like all those protections were for nothing in this case.
I'm quite glad I have never encountered this, though I'm intrigued. I simply can't drink most pop as being too sweet. Diet or any encountered overseas with HFCS are even worse.

So my consumption peaked at the odd can of Irn Bru, or Red Bull a month, summers only, when nothing else is available. I can't finish a Coke or Pepsi can. The kids think I'm weird. :)

JC Penny almost went bankrupt when they tried to stop doing sales all the time and just charge fair prices. People want sales, even if the item isn't really cheaper.
My understanding is that PoS approaches follow normal byzantine agreement theory which states that adversaries cannot control more than 1/3rd of the accounts (or money in the case of algorand). You can also delay new blocks more easily.

Ethereum is scared or that so they are implementing some hybrid form.

Bitcoin is doomed from my perspective, because of the focus on proof of work and the confirmation times. When you realize that algorand is super fast, there is no "confirmation time", and there is no waste in energy to mine, then it is hard to back up any cryptocurrency focusing on proof of work.
The "deal" (which failed, btw) was a crappy one. The only solution is legislation, not a "deal" made with the Author's Guild that would give Google and only Google special status.

> Staying hydrated with Coke sounds awful.

but surely better than the alternative?
I don't think so. You have to have simple UI's and basic tooling before anyone other than hardcore devs will be interested.

Everything we do with modern website tooling like Shopify was also possible in 1995, but it was too dev-heavy. (I've been in that business since that date.) The demand was there but the barriers to entry were too hard to overcome.

Fix crypto's UIs and you'll see wider adoption.

The real advantage of coke is that it has a distinct flavor that is hard to copy due to their trade secrets. This makes potentially contaminated knock-offs easy to taste out.

Exactly, or what about strange new memories, i guess it would depend wholly on what layer of the neocortext the cell was converted on, but still, it could be very interesting.
Because they're designed that way. It all comes down to:

* Rejecting far more candidates than you need to -- so you can feel like you're hiring "the top 1 percent"

* Giving yourself the feeling that you have an objective hiring process (when really you don't)

* Making your own team members feel like they're super brilliant and special when really they're not

That's what the modern hiring process is designed to do. And in fact it works quite well, to serve this purpose.
