Our fund has grown by 500 Billion Norwegian kroner (aprox $55 USD Billion) just since April this year
We found stuff like this while researching before creating LF. I remember finding this exact project and a few others like it. This is in the ballpark but has numerous issues in a federated or fully decentralized use case, such as who sets database schema and what happens when you need to change it. It also lacks any privacy protections. All keys and values are visible to everyone all the time. That opens up a ton of attack surface that has to be specifically mitigated on a case-by-case basis. Better to have data be blind.

LF isn't a wrapper around SQLite at all. It just uses SQLite for meta-data and index information because it happens to be a very capable database and because the ability to do relational queries saves a ton of time vs. hand-rolling such queries on top of something like LevelDB.

The last issue is something I've never understood about cryptocurrency code bases. Why do they insist on implementing a slow ad-hoc relational model on top of a simple KV store when they could just use SQLite? I assume it's because they assumed SQLite would be slow, but it's really not unless you are doing massive numbers of writes.

I don't recall; the numbers on Catie (~1 in 1250) are more modern and certainly a better estimate.

Either way, you only have to add a few more digits of risk mitigation and you're more likely to die in a car accident. A test that had even a 1% false negative rate would cover most of that ground.

Have you ever been to Riyadh and seen the poor state of housing, the laughable state of repair of motor vehicles, the constant complaints about the state of the education and health systems?

Perhaps they are given massive handouts but it doesn't seem to be translating into functioning infrastructure.

This is a question I ask.

The UK policy was, effectively, 'paaarty!'
I often criticize SF for being overly zealous around weird issues...but their ban on facial recognition is looking more prescient by the day. I hope other cities follow suit.

Also, non sequitur, have there been any proposals for how to detect when your country has become an authoritarian dystopia?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Norway

> In 2017, Norway's immigrant population consisted of 883,751 people, making up 16.8% of the country's total population. This includes both foreign-born and Norwegian-born with two foreign-born parents, and four foreign-born grandparents. In this population, 724,987 are foreign-born immigrants, while 158,764 are Norwegian-born with foreign-born parents. The ten most common countries of origin of immigrants residing in Norway are Poland (97,196), Lithuania (37,638), Sweden (36,315), Somalia (28,696), Germany (24,601), Iraq (incl.Kurdistan region) (22,493), Syria (20,823), Philippines (20,537), Iran (incl.

It's easy to file a lawsuit. You have to claim something mildly plausible that the court recognizes as possibly legally valid. At that point, the company has to burn lawyer time in order to fight the case. Even if they win, it cost them. (It cost the ex-employee, too, but the company doesn't care about that. They only care that it cost the company.)

Maybe I'm cynical from watching SCO v IBM (still not over, after 16 years, even though SCO never really had a case), but my perception is that you can file a lawsuit without a case. You just have to, in your initial filing, give the appearance that there might be a case.

Not sure what you're talking about. There were all kinds of probes sent to other planets/moons and experiments run in the last 50 years in space.
To be clear, I'm not assuming the acquiring company will do any of this. I just want to gather collective wisdom as to what are the ways through which acquirers can impose additional handcuffs to existing and former employees, in order to delay their ability to liquidate their vested shares.
Where I work we already have people doing this, so I don't have to. If your project doesn't tie directly to revenue it surely has KPIs which would be affected by performance.

One just opened near me, but you can't go to just enjoy the music because most patrons see it as "just another bar" where they can loudly gab with their coworkers, sometimes even yelling to one-up each other. It's super annoying that they're not getting the purpose of it, because I was excited when it opened. Now I might as well just go to the sports bar because I'm less frustrated.
I wonder if it's about being developed, vs being about having a high-trust society?

In a lot of places people will immediately get suspicious if you say you're setting up a government fund to hold everyone's money. For the benefit of society, of course.

Well, if you are so focused on outside force. Weather (and climate) could easily be seen as such a force having an effect on all of nature.
I really wish I knew and understood more about the things that govern cpu performance (not just the physics but also the problems people are trying to solve). For example it seems that CPUs have been stuck at around 2ghz for a decade now despite them getting harder to make and more expensive. Are we really seeing what amounts to I’m sure billions of dollars of research worth of benefits from seemingly incremental performance gains? Or am I just so far off the mark that it’s ludicrous?
The 'standard' summing circuit [0] typically requires an op-amp, which is in itself a multi-element component, and a few resistors. With a memristor, you can theoretically skip the op-amp and just use the passive elements, though an op-amp is likely still needed to read out the very small signals [1].

I'm not Chilean but my girlfriend is, and I thought of that word instantly when I saw this.

Even though I'm not Chilean, I'm from Spain and I think I have a decent grasp on its meaning. It can be used to refer to any person or object.
I only speak English and Spanish (fluently), but I've always assumed that there are similar words in any language. Terms with extremely open meanings (or terms that at least can be used that way).

Of course there are various differences. For example, I assume jawn can be used as a verb (to jawn). "Hueón" (or usually, "weón") can't be used as a verb by itself, but of course you have the verb "webear/huevear", that belongs to the same word family, with the same open meaning but for any action.
I don't think, however, that this means "wueon" is less versatile than "jawn". I think it's just because in English it's common to have a noun and a verb that look very similar (a cut/ to cut, a mine/to mine) and in Spanish that's unusual.

As a side note, the word "huevo" means egg, and "huevón" can mean "big egg" or refer to someone who, well, has big balls (sometimes used as a mild insult like "dumb"). "Hueón", just as "wueón" or "webón", are all misspellings of "huevón". My own guess is that the term evolved from that original meaning into the wildcard it is today.

If any true Chileans show up, feel free to correct my words!
And please ignore my obvious lack of linguistics knowledge, that was just my uneducated impression :)

As EDM becomes ever more narrowly regimented, more and more of its antecedents will be considered outside the genre.
I find it really fascinating how small local decisions like how many square feet a store can be, influence what kind of companies form, and thus, how good your local breweries, cafes, bookstores, restaurants, groceries are.

Like they hint at in the article, I guess small store footprints make it not worth large "faceless" corporations opening shop and therefore the stores that do pop up are run out of more passion for the thing (some, at least).

Traveling in EU a bunch, I was always interested why in Italy, for example, small restaurants are on every residential block run by essentially mom and pops, and still surviving, serving up reasonably good food. Versus this kind of restaurant has largely been displaced (if not number, at least in consciousness) in any of our US large cities by corporate backed entities.

Versus if your zoning allows big box 100,000 sq ft stores, you're just by nature going to get something a little more bland.

Tons of reviews are bought and paid for by the games' publishers.

We see things like "10/10" in magazines for mediocre AAA games.

I really only trust user-generated reviews from Steam and GoG to be impartial. Console gaming is a crapshoot.
I'm wondering if zip ties are used at all in a project like this one.

The top marginal tax rate band is around 50%. Very few people pay that much income tax, or anywhere near it so it's highly misleading most people is near it. A large portion of the population are close to seeing a small portion of their income taxed at the marginal rates because Norwegian incomes are unusually flat and high, yes.

But according to OECD taxing wages 2019, the median tax and social security contribution for a single person with no children in full time employment in Norway is 27.5% vs 23.8% for the US.

Of course the US varies significantly by state.

Sales tax has relatively low impact as you spend a relatively low portion of your income on things taxed at the full rate.
Hopefully that's not the way it comes off! The entire last section of the article is my attempt to make it clear that this _doesn't_ happen because we're bad people.

> So clearly, folks who have built a heavy site are bad, unethical people, right?

> Here’s the thing. I have never in my career met a single person who set out to make a site perform poorly. Not once.

> People want to do good work. But a lot of folks are in situations where that’s very difficult.

> The business models that support much of the content on the web don’t favor better performance. Nor does the culture of many organizations who end up prioritizing the next feature over improving things like performance or accessibility or security.
And if you want to read more about how the curse unfolded, have a lot of time to spare and can either read French or get your hands on a suitable translation, Maurice Druon's "Les Rois Maudits" is the epic multi-volume tale of a medieval dynasty's decline that you'll want to read.
To be clear, your talking of the CIA organization, and not "confidentiality, integrity, and availability"?

I think the difference is potentially that the Gulf countries - Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar etc - benefitted from being able to develop their economies and infrastructure and establish large social welfare systems in the 70s and 80s while their populations were small and oil prices and income were very high.

Here's a chart that shows Saudi per capita income from the 70s:
https://d3fy651gv2fhd3.cloudfront.net/embed/?s=saunygdppcapk...

You can see that their per capita collapsed in the 80s along with oil prices. The royal families in those countries are incredibly corrupt by modern standards, but they have established a system that keeps everyone outside that circle in line with subsidies, religion and threats of imprisonment.
