I just find it ironic that Equifax is the entity responsible of monitoring my identify when they're irresponsible (and apparently unaccountable) with the data in the first place.

There isn't many options out there, so they basically have the monopoly on identity protection.

Well I don't have any reason to replace the 3b+ now (I just set it up earlier this year), besides faster file transfer on the 4, and I'm disinclined to upgrade something I just built.

Unless the 4 can handle video transcoding I don't see what the benefit of it would be. If it has increased energy use it might even be a worse choice!
oh, my bad, I didn't realise Monzo used a fixed fee. I'm glad they have to change that, that's payday-loan level APR for small overdraft balances

I was thinking of Starling's overdraft (similar UK bank) which is 15% APR with no fixed fee

I agree it's probably a minority who would put it in such harsh terms as the comment you're responding to, but the underlying sentiment is more a part of American culture than many other places.

For instance, the values of meritocracy and self-determination are deeply ingrained in the US mythos, beginning from "All men are created equal" and "the pursuit of happiness" in the declaration of independence.

Since moving to Europe, the difference in the concept of individual credit/responsibility is one of the largest cultural differences I have felt.
Yes, you do need two and it does significantly limit throughput since both the internal and external Ethernet adapters are routed through the same USB bus. The 3B seems to top out at about 90Mbps. I'm not sure what the throughput on a 3B+ would have been, but I'm sure it would have been much lower than its maximum of ~270Mbps.

Having said that, much of the US is restricted to <100Mbps internet and there are some nice advantages to having a relatively powerful little computer running right at the edge.
I briefly perused the wiki article for meniere's and it fits all the hallmark signs of a psychosomatic symptom, right down to medieval, I mean mainstream medicine not knowing the cause. I recommend reading Divided Mind - good luck!
I never took notes. It mildly disturbed my high school teachers, and greatly disturbed my college professors. Until the first tests/grades, when I did fine. Then they realized that I was actually listening, and getting the concepts. As the article said, the cognitive processing is what matter more than the actual notes you take.

Now I fully admit that if I had taken notes, I may have been an A student instead of a B student. But I just found the note-taking process to be a distraction from listening.
I don't think they meant it was fraud, just that it's sensationalist drivel. It's choosing a way to interpret results for the sake of sounding impressive, rather than improving understanding.

Choosing a temperature in order to say "this will last as long as the universe's current age", or finding ways to count extra dimensions is the behaviour of marketeers, not academics.
Those are all perfectly valid questions when making such a value judgment, yes. We're past the point of no return, here. Everything matters.
What kind of features do you think should be removed? There were some people on the forums that were in favor of removing any feature that could be reimplemented with templates as a library solution.

Throwing notes away, that's a nice luxury. I had professors who would lift questions word-for-word from their lecture, throwing away my notes would've been throwing away points.
I used Google docs heavily. I started with a list of 10 uptime monitoring competitors with features, pricing, and weaknesses. I figured out that all of them were charging ludicrous amounts of money to do a simple task like alerts via SMS or email. While they do offer much more features - I realized, after having built a couple of websites that I don't really need fancy features. I also did a SWOT analysis of the idea and where my app would lie in the spectrum, and the amount I could charge to a customer.
Is this a joke? If you disagree with Amazon (that is doing nothing corrupt in this matter) just stop using it and you're good.

Good luck getting rid of your corrupt government, if you live in the middle of the forest.

Bezos is no tyrant. He is where he is because he satisfied people who willingly made his company a lot of money.

You can vote to put Bezos out of business by stopping to use his services.

Good luck voting once every four years to get rid of corrupt government officials. Good luck believing elections aren't arranged (especially if you live in the middle of the jungle in a highly violent place).

So what's with the title on HN?

"Trading platform admits Tether is manipulating Bitcoin price"

This is nowhere in the article. When people spend millions to buy bitcoin, the price goes up. That is how it works. If they have to take a step through tether, that is only to work around the limitations of many exchanges not taking fiat.

What bullshit.
1. Tether had their actual bank account contents seized. Cash - nothing to do with BTC holdings.

2. There's a big difference between "money gets seized sometimes" and "this shady bank that promises audits but never completes them had half its assets frozen".
The free market is very good at reducing prices in some areas but then it would also not serve other areas where there is no profit. So in a free market health system you would see cheap prices for some stuff but people with certain diseases would just be left to die. You would also see a lot of bad drugs that kill people.

Oh absolutely. Bitcoin is a massive crock of shit, my point is only that they've been using tether to pump BTC for like a year now.
For many classes of algorithms, the speed-up is actually better than Moore's Law.

I don't think it's really an exaggeration to say that optimization of the programs can lead to 100x performance improvements. Sorting algorithms, for instance, improved dramatically from the first computer algorithms in the early 50s (yay Bubblesort) to QuickSort in the 1960s to newer algorithms in the 1980s/90s like Melsort, and even algorithms being written today, like Neatsort: https://arxiv.org/abs/1407.6183

And the thing about algorithms is that for certain problems and large n, they can quickly blow up. Something with just a slightly better big-O could easily mean a 100x better performance at large n.
Just to follow up, here's a list of the problems I know about in getting 3D (or 5D) storage to market.

* Materials. You need something that can be manipulated or deformed at reasonable energy levels into two or more stable states to store data, then maintain that state for a useful lifetime without power. That's already a bit of a Goldilocks act, but it must also be non-reactive, not too brittle, not too expensive, etc.

* Media manufacture. Recording even a single layer at these feature sizes is a non-trivial challenge. As layers increase, yield drops exponentially - even before you consider how the layers interact.

* Read/write mechanisms. Focusing on a single layer on a moving medium, with nothing in the way, is also a challenge. Put other data-bearing layers in the way and it becomes much more difficult. Also, the "blast radius" for a single focus/alignment error becomes much larger, so you're going to need some serious error correction over and above what already exists for 2D.

* Transfer speeds. These are already problematic even at 10TB. 360TB without a corresponding increase in transfer speeds would be a nightmare.

A prototype involving a novel set of materials and/or mechanisms working once under ideal conditions is great. Science advances. Kudos for that. But that's only solving about one fifth of the problems that need to be solved to produce something of actual value in the market. You see a similar thing with battery technology. Everyone knows we need better batteries. There are always several companies claiming to have found the next breakthrough Almost invariably the new wonder material turns out to be a poor fit for real-world scale, economics, or conditions. Obviously we should keep trying, and keep learning, but nobody should get their hopes up too much too early.
Once drugs are not protected by patents, competition should reduce prices. Unless competition is not working because of price fixing or something else related.

Telemedicine App Development: Trends, Challenges, Features, and Cost
I absolutely loved this book. However, isn't it curious that the humans arrive just as the cheela are reaching the level of technology needed to communicate? In terms of human time, they could have come a year earlier, or a year later.
And yet, I pulled those claims out of the paper, which I linked. Are you suggesting Peter G. Kazansky, a research professor with over two decades of experience in optics, does not count as an academic? Or are you saying the paper doesn't make those claims? Or are you saying the paper also isn't a real academic paper and just marketeer noise?

(I'm not quoting the other authors, who are of course also distinguished scholars :-))

One that I like is commonly branded TTGO, a search for "esp32 ttgo" or "esp32 oled battery" will turn up some options.

This is a link to the exact one I bought since you asked: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/283082902927 (not actually branded TTGO, it's a clone)

Why you might like it:

- it has an OLED screen on the board for debugging and status output

- it has a battery holder and charging circuitry for an 18650 on the back of the board for portable powering/"UPS"

- it breaks out all the GPIO lines onto pins

Why you might not like it:

- like many esp32 dev boards it's slightly too fat to go straight into a standard breadboard. You have to join two breadboards to get access to both rows of pins.
And in typical human fashion, we're now going to argue over where the moral line is drawn instead of the actual problem.

The FDA won't allow that unless those manufacturers go through its approval process.
In classical economic theory, one pre-condition for efficient market allocation of resources is accurate information providing a basis for rational levels of investment.

If AI is subject to crazes, with investors as a whole drastically overestimating its potential, then it's certainly possible to over-allocate capital (human and otherwise) to it in the hopes of a payoff.

Consider the Dutch tulip mania of the 1630s. Imagine if it had lasted a bit longer, long enough for promising scientists and scholars of every type to be trained solely to optimize the growth of tulips.

This allocation of capital would provide a benefit to tulip investors for as long as the craze lasted, but would prove to be a detriment to society once the craze ended.

I don't think it's proper to take a single person's interpretation and present it as fact. This hyperbole is what makes people on the fence about climate change roll their eyes and disregard it.
In the US, businesses try to get you to sign contracts even when it makes zero sense. For example, why do I need to sign a contract for a gym? I pay X dollars for a month, and use it for that month. If I want to use it next month, then I pay X dollars again. Makes sense (this is how it is, at least in the countries I have been), right? Nope. I made the mistake of signing up for NYSC, imagine my surprise when I wanted to cancel (because I was moving away) and I got calls non stop for $250 "cancellation fee"? My fault for not reading the fine print, lesson learned.

Whales and otc desks buy Teathers in $100k blocks so they spread purchases across exchanges that didn't accept dollars?

That's doesn't sound like manipulation. It sounds oddly normal and acceptable for a coin that we know has problems.

The biggest lie in your article is calling tether "fully backed". That's laughable since we know from the AG report it is 70% at most and likely lower when you ignore paper from related companies.

I totally agree with the gist of this article. This hype is being propagated by a lot of folks who are willingly clueless, as for example, in the data science crowd. This band-wagon is crowded and isn’t stopping any time soon.

It irks me to no end to comme across tutorial-style articles proclaiming to teach an AI algorithm, also known as ‘linear regression’.

What bugs me the most though, are the countless ‘influencers’ on LinkedIn which spew rubbish about machine learning, AI and all the wonderful things that are just around the corner.

Lastly, it doesn’t help when countless articles/books are written on the subject of AI dangers, AI ethics and are ‘robots coming for us?’. These add fuel to the fire of hype.

In the end, this behavior will only guarantee the eventual blowing-up of the bubble, when promises are not delivered.

While I don't doubt what you saw or your explanation/interpretation of the project (that is, what was likely a BS application of the terminology), it should be understood that such a system could in theory be constructed.

It is possible, for instance, to implement a small neural network on a regular Arduino; a simple google search for "arduino neural network" should yield some information. It would be a small step from there to interfacing such an implementation to something else as part of an art project.

Again, I am not doubting your story; I just wanted to point out that what appears to be a simple system could very well have an actual artificial intelligence aspect to it, even given the seemingly unreasonable processing constraints of an Arduino.
Nonsense. White supremacy is the broader term. It's meaningful to characterize the (early) American Federation of Labor policies as being rooted in white supremacy. It's not meaningful to characterize them as neo-Nazis.

Several 19th century state constitutions prohibited black people from moving to them. This should be correctly understood as white supremacy. They did not prevent Jews from moving to them.

Hence those terms are distinct and have not merged for any serious discussion of the topic.

Again, foreign policy != domestic policy. Black slavers and free abolitionists opposed to each others' domestic policies, but some worked together for the foreign policy of having blacks return to Africa, in the American Colonization Society's colonization of Liberia.

Or you can see how a Christian Zionist like Pat Robertson can be both anti-Semitic and support the Jewish state.

Last I heard, "There is no budgeting, no planning, no location for a settlement, and there is no binding decision to implement the project" for that settlement, says Zvi Hauser at https://www.timesofisrael.com/no-plans-no-budget-trump-heigh... , who describes it as a publicity stunt.

Ergo, what you point out isn't really germane.

5G is almost completely useless for most people. It's actually very useful for governments to spy and for big corps to market and embed more in our capitalist societies. So of course they're going to shove it down our throats as the "next big thing."
> I know no sane scientist or enigneer that would say they use more than 3D physics.

It's completely common for scientists to use more than 3D, since D does not have to mean spatial dimensions. Relativity is 4D (space+time), M-Theory is 11 or 26 or 10 depending on context.

Even classical mechanics is formulated as 6D (3 position, 3 momentum). This leads to Hamiltonians and Lagrangians, cornerstones of modern physics, upon which all modern physics is based.

As to light, it's east to find multiple dimensions to store light patterns: 3D space, 1 D polarization, 1D frequency, and now we have 5 independent dimensions in which to store data.

5D, if they use 5 independent degrees of freedom to store data, does not undermine the science - it makes it precise.

The title of the paper is "5D Data Storage by Ultrafast Laser Writing in Glass" and is an invited paper at a top conference in their field. I suspect the '5D' being in the title means it is not marketing hype but actual physics.

EDIT: Here [1] is the paper. They do use 5 degrees of freedom as I expected: 3 position, slow-axis orientation, and retardance. So it most certainly is 5D storage.
