I think you need to look at the cost of bringing gold back to earth from orbit.
Group selection is largely discredited, of course.

But! Richard Dawkin's selfish gene theories go the other way and argue for natural selection working on the gene-level instead of the individual level.

It seems like group selection but it is more like population dynamics and selection pressures for traits in a population. If a gene becomes too prevalent in a population it's advantages become disadvantages and an individual has less chance of surviving. If it is too scarce, an individual has a large advantage and a higher chance of surviving and passing the gene on.

It would be limited to traits where the phenotype results in more successful competition with the same species.
Why should it be quickly radiated away? What makes the heat different from the energy that is already stored in the atmosphere? In total it would be the energy of a large asteroid being smashed on earth. (energy conservation)
> Modern music is a mirror image of the internet culture as well. Blasted with as many synth hooks and processed vocal melodies as possible.

This seems a little bit like a fist-shaking "back in my day!" kind of judgemental statement. Music is a matter of taste and what you're approaching here doesn't relate to the topic.
Gold conducts worse than copper. (It's the #3 best conductor) Copper is the #2 best conductor. The one metal that conducts better than copper is Silver.

A heavy asteroid might have a lot of Silver in it for all we know.

The property of gold that I like the most is that you can hammer it into such a thin film that it is transparent to some wavelengths of light..
How exactly did the voters think the governor was going to make "more $"? Create it out of thin air? The voters got exactly what they voted for, and most likely they voted for legislators with the same views as the governor.

You're right though: it is a pretty good middle ground. It results in a state/nation that operates more or less according to the wishes of its citizens. The citizens of Alaska want bigger oil dividends and don't care about university education, so that's exactly what they're getting. Of course, this doesn't mean the citizens are getting what's best for them, but they're getting what they think is best, and if that means disaster for them in the future, it's their own fault.
Nice example about using the MAIN subroutine. I'd be interested on reading more about your uses of Perl 6 so should you blog about them, don't hesitate and share it with the P6 community.
The project lead for RSX-11M was Dave Cutler, who would go on and lead the creation of VMS, Windows NT, Hyper-V, the Xbox OS Hydra and a bunch of other things
It seems to me that the number of eyes problem should be solvable. Just convolve with an eye detector and threshold appropriately. Then feed everything to a single neuron in the next layer and threshold at 10.5. No?

The spiral vs. circles I agree with.
Right, I was mainly thinking in terms of speedups from not having to switch tasks and the gains from specializing in one kind of computation. (The inability to parallelize would still be relevant in terms of limiting the gains from dividing the work, since each step has to wait for the previous to hand it more numbers, so variation in processing time between the humans will create delays.)

And I wasn't interested so much in the absolute throughput, but how the figure would change in terms of hashes per second per human, so duplicating a full ALU module wouldn't be relevant; the concern is how much an additional human improves the rate after adjusting for the fact that you added one more human-resource.

Edit: I'm new to queuing theory, but I may just grind through the numbers there. Could do it as a "Show HN" if there is a tool (preferably as a web app) where you can model a process and tweak the numbers like in Factorio.
True there is a lot of speculation today, and transaction fees are much too high to use for everyday expenses. I would say store-of-value is a valid use-case though. The ability of an individual to store wealth in their brain is a useful property. Mostly for those attempting to escape oppressive governments, or "extractive" political institutions.

The transferring of bitcoin is not what is energy intensive. The energy is expended as a "vote" on which of many possible forks should be trusted. Gold definitely has this expenditure as well, military's are often required to secure it, and large amounts of energy and expenditure are required to discover and mine it.

USD is one of the most stable currencies in the world, and the fed has done a good job of maintaining stability. You're right that Bitcoin is no where near as stable as USD, but it is more stable than the currencies of some other countries. There are still ways for a central bank to maintain interest rates even if Bitcoin is widely used. Bitcoin does not prevent fractional reserve banking.

This is the biggest thing blocking us from moving from Slack to MM. With Slack you have the option of replying to a message in the channel and keeping it fully visible, just by replying in the main chat, so why don't you just do that and not use threads?
Unions were started in part as a response to indentured servitude. I'm not sure that would fly, politically.
I assume you would circle a town you’re about to invade, and then smush it with your gold asteroid.
> that meets or exceeds Intel's performance characteristics with much less power draw Real Soon Now.

That'd more or less break the laws of physics. There are limits of how much (or how little) energy one needs to do a certain amount of computation and, considering all the branch prediction, speculative execution, cache pre-fetches, and all the black magic that we need to extract reasonable single-thread performance from our CPUs, we are pretty close to that limit.

We may get away with some ISA and compiler-based optimizations to extract safe no-brainer (as in the CPU doesn't need to worry about it) performance in lower power designs, but it's pretty clear that single-thread performance is the enemy when it comes to power efficiency. And we kind of tried that with VLIW and we didn't get what we expected.
The Administrative Procedures Act provides great processes to express yourself. I highly doubt this Petition for Rulemaking would proceed to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The Commission rarely conducts proceedings to adopt or change rules in Part 97 since 2001. I expect a dismissal letter to eventually issue forth more than anything else.
North American receptacles have tamper resistant shutters now too.
> How exactly did the voters think the governor was going to make "more $"?

They probably had no coherent picture of how that would happen, specific benefits with vague sacrifices is a pretty standard approach to political messaging.
Thought of the day, collecting certain types of information on people should require posting a bond and an annual audit and disclosure.

No bond, no audit, no disclosure -> felony.
> Without rooting your phone you can't even install firewalls or prevent applications from ever connecting to the outside world.

Of course you can. There are multiple apps that do this. One example: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/eu.faircode.netguard/
Schuko is unnecessarily large.

I've always wanted an international standard with notches that indicate the voltage and frequency. A device that accepts all voltages and frequencies will accept any notch, a more selective device would block a notch for the frequency / voltage it can't handle.

(And the plug would need to fully cover the pins once they have current. That's the big problem with the NEMA and Europlugs, the pins are still exposed when they're live.)
IPFS as I understand it doesn't have a built-in ability to alter files once uploaded and has to use IPNS to handle pointing to newer versions over time. Dat Protocol does this for you as I understand it haven't dug in too much.
Funny, as a patient I prefer the opposite. Higher educated nurses tend to play doctor, but I can't trust their opinion because they aren't real doctors. It comes at the cost of them listening poorly, for they carry the confidence of their degree.
This is in Cryptopals! You were a Cryptopal! How did you get through that without implementing the e=3 sig attack?

The bug is straightforward: RSA implementations don't verify all the bits in the padding, but rather "parse" it to find the digest, and then verify that. But there are, of course, bajillions of potential padded signature block representations that contain any given digest, since the block is so much bigger than the digest. For e=3, and for particularly naive implementations (like Firefox's, at the time) you can almost literally just formulate the signature block you want, then take its cube root to forge a signature.
To make matters worse, he had been getting direct cash transfers from his parents starting as a child so even $1 million 1970's money is understating it significantly.
> It is really annoying, however, when people retrofit these things into old houses and you get something like a downstairs bathroom outlet that has no apparent GFCI, but then it trips, and you have to hunt around the house for the GFCI outlet only to find it in a bedroom on the upper floor.

Maybe easiest to just have GFI on the breakers?
> not after worker supply has increased

Ironically, not only do tech workers aren't worried about this, they embrace it and encourage it. An enormous amount of work is being done to lower the bar, make things more accessible, reduce the need for diplomas and certifications, downplay the value of experience, etc. Basically ensuring that they'll see significant competition in the future (those initiatives don't help "a little". They literally change the landscape of the industry).

So it's a bit hard to convince people that they should work to protect their job when they're already working so hard to do the opposite (with the well being of others in mind, of course)
I can't wait for the Hollywood version of this idea, à la the Infrared viewer from Predator or the machine's eye view from Terminator.
This is actually the change coming to Android Q - OS will strip out location data from photos when apps access them. EXIF will require extra permissions.
These perceptions are entirely in the eye of the beholder. People with the opposite views to yours see HN in precisely the opposite way, and are just as indignant about it.
> Some 2-prong devices are perfectly safe because they are double insulated. This is also called Class II and the symbol for it is a square inside another square.

Interesting. FWIW, besides the UL logo, my rice cooker has no safety or regulatory markings, and the Zojirushi webpage makes no mention of double insulation or any extra safety features.
Imo the issue of a time line (estimated or actual) is immaterial to the original point made up thread (the role of tests in determining a compiler's compliance to a language specification).

The issue is whether P6 advocates are honest in their advocacy. Pretending that the goal was always to create a sister language or that the intent from the start was always to take 15+ years to release a stable version or that the intent was always to define P6 as a specification and test suite or that a cross-platform VM wasn't a goal from the start is dishonest.
I wasn't attempting to negate the worth of any of the known security and efficiency properties, I was simply adding that there's significant value in understanding how the curve came to be.

Something can be provably secure against all known attacks and still be back-doored.

I said "not simply" implying that there are other considerations and not "not" which wold have implied that what you'd stated was unimportant.

As to the justification for my opinion, that was based on Bruce Schneier's comments regarding the numbers - which he made long before the Snowden revelations.

I'm not saying that the numbers are back-doored, but the situation gives a reasonable justification for pause.
It does not matter whether it is gold or anything else. Any material is more valuable in space than on earth because you have to transport it to space. So you could mine an asteroid for 2 kg of anything and it would be as valuable as 1 kg of gold on earth.
> That's dishonest quoting. The last quote should include my assertion that many of those would be evidence of illegal activity.

It's not dishonest, it's literally your exact quote, copy and pasted in whole, verbatim. Your "evidence of illegal activity comment" is written later in the post, and I didn't respond to it because it's completely irrelevant. You stated those things are illegal. I explained that they're not and asked you to point to some evidence that they are. The fact that you are now saying they're "evidence of illegal activity" is just you moving the goalpoasts.

Anything can be considered "evidence of illegal activity" IF it implicates one in a crime. Using your reasoning, a bloody knife is illegal because it's "evidence of illegal activity". Well... no, it could just as easily be evidence that I cut myself making dinner, so there is no reason for you to bring that up except to shoehorn my examples into the category of illegal activity even though they aren't actually illegal.

> if that was done without permission... if that information was obtained illegally... If the contents were recorded from a private conversation in a home here in California...

So only IF you qualify everything I wrote with examples I didn't use which are actually illegal. You've got some balls to lecture others on dishonest argumentation when you can't even honestly tackle the argument as I wrote it. Unless you decide to post some links to laws showing that those examples are illegal, I am just going to move on from this part of the discussion because you're objectively wrong here. They're NOT illegal.

> The following two aren't illegal, but they're just morally reprehensible in a way which even transcends ideology

So are you suggesting that things you deem as morally reprehensible should be exempt from your "principle of Free Speech?"

You also did not answer my question about whether or not it is "ethically wrong" to delete comments from your personal blog.
First, start with a site that will teach you some surprising things about crypto that you may have not thought possible: http://cryptopals.com/. That is a good start.
Another case in point, maybe a better parallel, is aluminum. Once it was more precious than gold and used in similar applications to gold and platinum. Then technology was developed to produce it more easily, and we started making things like wheels and then entire vehicles out of it.

So we already have the precedent of a precious metal becoming an industrial one, although I don't mean to suggest gold alloys would be good for the same applications due to its density.
lol, I was expecting to receive advice I wouldn't like for reviewing code.
> Are they compelled to go?

They are compelled by their own morals. As it's been proven time and again, whenever a bridge collapses, those bikers carrying 200lb loads are among the very first responders.
I might be confident that bad guys won't realise what's going on and somehow break into my email system replacing your public key with their own in, say, six hours it takes to receive and act on the message; whereas I can't be reasonably confident that all my mail systems and all backups of mail systems will remain unbreakable for the foreseeable future or until I've deleted all trace of the symmetric key.

Cryptography is often not about "uncrackable" but about confidence in security over a foreseen interval.

On the 4th of June 1943 the details of Operation Neptune ("D-Day") were a priceless secret of the Allied Command, a break that allowed Berlin to know the plan could have resulted in the invasion force being expected by a heavily prepared and well-reinforced German defence. Those who made it back to England alive would have no reward for their efforts.

By the 7th of June 1943 plans for Neptune were a historical curiosity of little military value.
Nothing another dozen indictments and the resulting discovery can't prove yet again.
Those suicides are the children of wealth obsessed rich adults abusing their children. The workers aren't the victims, they are the perpetrators.
So long as there is contention for a finite resource the market always exists. If you don't pay with cash, you pay with something else that has value - your time.
You need to explicitly state that you're using precomputed output.
Conveniently not mentioned is this article is the fact that normal CO2 concentrations in human lungs are about 40,000ppm - or about 100x higher than current background levels, and many times higher than the elevated levels mentioned in this article. And I don't know about you, but when I'm in a crowded room what eventually makes me tired and uncomfortable is the heat and humidity from all those bodies. Turn on the AC (which reduces both heat and humidity) and I will be feeling much better in short order.
Most systems of that era had overlay linkers. Added another bit of complexity to the builds.
I suppose, but perhaps more worrying to those of us not currently doing well.
That's a special effect of the diamond marketplace where diamonds aren't really “precious materials” but authenticatable natural diamonds are precious collectibles. (That is, it is the provenance and not the material that is precious.).

But the dynamics are the same so long as the supply glut is in things interchangeable with what is precious (e.g., diamonds that, down to the De Beers microetching, are indistinguishable from the ones that people place value on.)
> If this is article is "easy" crypto, and I shouldn't roll my own crypto, then what should I do?

X25519, Ed25519, XSalsa20-Poly1305--you just minimized your footguns.

Unless you have a different library accessible, use TweetNaCl or one of its wrappers--now you've minimized your library footguns:
https://tweetnacl.cr.yp.to/

If the operation you want to do isn't part of that library, you need to ask yourself: "Do I truly understand the security implications of what I am try to do?" And then not do it.

There are still lots of implementation footguns (leaking values in memory, side channel attacks, etc.), but those 2 choices put you so far ahead of the pack that your can probably survive until you have enough money to actually pay a cryptographer to come review your stuff.
Emojis are increasingly coming up in court cases
In pure functional languages, designing around data is essentially the way to get things done. Its one of the reasons why, in combination with the other factors, the average dev has to unfreeze so much of its worldview in order to understand how to actually program real programs with these langs.
Unfortunately, I don't speak Italian, but I feel a better translation for "the best" in French is "le meilleur". In fact, if you just click the swapping icon in the Google translation link you posted above, you'll see it uses "meilleur". "c'est mieux" = "it's better", "c'est mieux que..." = "it's better than..."

> what could be changed in the ecosystem to support this goal?

1. Change the syntax. Elixir wasn't far enough. Not at all and BEAM doesn't need to know, so we have a chicken-egg problem of people entrenched don't want to spend time that will help the language and underlying strategies become more widely adopted. Perhaps this was the production feedback loop you were referencing. We still don't have a good methodology for measuring all sorts of things in software dev. 10 years, 20 years, the language may just never do more than incremental changes (like elixir).

2. Handling text is still awful in these languages.
Maybe that shows that its the right level to address these issues? Were unions the right way before because doing things globally wasn't realistic. But could it be today?

Like, if employers don't give enough vacations, is the solution to unionize and bargain for better vacations, or could we agree that everyone needs more vacations and just encode it as labor right?

Sure seems to work well for my colleagues in Dublin, for one.

Then you get your cake and eat it too. Everyone's better off, and we don't have to deal with the negatives of unions.
Unions & guilds also serve to keep other workers out

There are laws that work has to be assigned to union shops, etc
Cache of human brain organoids expected to launch into orbit in late July
Fair point, but I still don't believe that just because something is more available, we'd discover more applications for it.

After all, we've used gold for tooth fillings in the past. That's a pretty high accessibility for everyone.

I could see the argument for materials (such as anti-matter) which are only synthesized in the lab. However, gold, while expensive, is also fairly common to researchers.

Take platinum as another counter point. Even though it is more expensive than gold, we still put it in catalytic converters for millions of cars.

Gold is researchable today. Maybe if it were more available we wouldn't exclude it from research due to cost. But that is a big maybe.

If silicon were as rare as gold, we'd still be able to say "Hey, this gets transparent when we heat it up" and "Hey, this doesn't really conduct electricity well". That is, we'd be able to see it and have the arguments of "if we just had a bunch more of this, we could make a lot of cool glass things". AFAIK, there isn't some application that exists like that with gold.

It is very malleable. It has a low melting point. It doesn't corrode. The best application I think we'd come up for it is something like using it for soldering like we use tin (it would probably do a better job there than tin does).

That is unfortunatly true but with that cut it will not only be the fat that is cut but also a lot of the meat. UA is already struggling and it needs help. The way to fix is that is not to cut funding from it. A better solution that I heard would be to hold a mass audit of some kind to figure out what people are actually useful.

UA provides an essential service to the state which is basically making and keeping smart people in AK. without UA there would be a severe brain drain and that would really hurt the economy.

One final point UA is NOT a for profit institution and that effects the dynamics of the university. There is not as much pressure to nickel and dime people as one would think.
