> Also curious how variable transaction costs are taken care of?!

The article says users will need an account with Uzzo or Criptohub, Cielo’s network partners.

So I guess they aren’t doing a actual bitcoin transaction for each payment. You have to send your bitcoins to your exchange account first and then it controls your balance internally without having to interact with the public blockchain. You, the payer (Criptohub account owner), probably pay for the fees when you transfer your bitcoins to your exchange account.

The primary difference that Enigma made was shipping to Russia and the UK. It’s likely it would have hurt both, but once the escort carriers started showing up in the Atlantic, the ability to operate subs would have gone away anyways.

In the pacific, not a chance. The soviets rolled the Kwantung army at the end of the war, but that’s because it was stripped of all it’s assets well before the soviets showed up, as the Japanese desperately tried to re-enforce islands that the Americans later isolated and island hopped and starved into submission by virtue of the “Big Blue Fleet”. The atomic bombs may not have ended the war, but ending the war with a invasion or a starvation blockade required a massive naval armada, and the Soviets had nothing. The Brits barely were able to operate in theater.

Engima’s impact on the battlefield was much more muted then the submarine war especially compared to Purple / Hypo / Market Garden and The battle of the Bulge where both lulled into disaster by the lack of enigma intelligence. It did play a positive role in Africa and on D-day (where it was most useful in revealing fortifications on the beaches), but it was not decisive there.

Engima never made it’s way to the pacific. In the pacific, Corel Sea, Midway and the assassination of Yamamoto where all predicated on decrypted secrets, but this was a completely separate effort from Bletchley Park.

It is mind boggling that despite the name, they did not (given the (I assume) joke with the name) say, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" anywhere in the paper. Only once does the phrase, "This is not" occur, but completely out of context of Magritte's most famous painting.

The vast majority of Americans have never read a coin to determine its value. They are all easily distinguishable by size and touch and your average American could identify them 100% of the time while blindfolded.

Unfortunately the paper money isn’t similarly touch-friendly.
Or it could be that people are more aware of their internal states. In other words, twenty years ago, I would not be able to tell you that I had anxiety or depression, even though I did. As I went through cognitive behavioral therapy and became more aware of my internal states, I can tell immediately if I start to feel anxious or depressed. Due to cb therapy, I experience far less anxiety and depression but I am aware of it when I do experience it (which can help minimize it).

Newspaper ads weren’t as noxious or ineffective as online advertising.

I don’t understand how online ads are as big a business as they are, other than the troll stuff on Instagram. The rest is pretty unremarkable and ineffective.

I can probably count on my hands they number of times I intentionally engaged with an ad in the last 25 years.
Smartphones definitely play a role but aren't the main cause. The rise of depression and anxiety started before smartphones were mainstream.

"Comparing groups across generations is admittedly difficult, but the data clearly point to things being far worse now. Trend data clearly suggest increases in levels of stress, depression and anxiety at least since the 1980s. Consider that one study found that the average high school student in the year 2000 has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient did in the 1950s; and those rates have only increased in the last decade. Utilizing the MMPI to assess psychopathology, Twenge and colleagues found five times as many students in 2007 surpassed clinical cutoffs in one or more mental health categories, compared with those who took the measure several decades ago."

Bingo. These companies don't make enough money off Venezuelans to warrant the risks of providing services there. Basically, it would be more expensive to implement intense enforcement, oversight, and KYC processes for Venezuela than the profit they would make.
The trend varies. We have one Fry's location and two MicroCenter stores in the Chicago area. All of these stores seem to be doing well. They are the only places to walk in and buy motherboards, CPU's, GPU's, etc. and people here take advantage of that.
"Founded on the enslavement of black people" is at best a misrepresentation of reality, and at worst a counterfactual statement. The bulk of the Northern states abolished slavery by 1810. The founding principles were at odds with slavery, to the point that many southerners objected to the Declaration of Independence's claim that all men are created equal. Some parts of the US did tolerate the contradiction between its founding principles and slavery for close to a century, and this contradiction between slavery and America's founding principles culminated in a Civil War. There is little merit to the claim that the US was "founded on the enslavement of black people."

Several US states were the first governments to abolish slavery in the entire New World. Even if we're explicitly talking about national level abolitionism, the United States was average in terms of the time it took to abolish slavery in the Americas. Slavery continued until 1873, 1886, and 1888 in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Brazil respectively. Chile, Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela abolished slavery in the 1810s and 1820s but only prohibited the enslavement of newly born children while allowing the continued enslavement of existing slaves.

Hyperbole about slavery in America's founding aside, being the first President of direct African heritage is an achievement that would be worthy of being put on a banknote.
Agile Coach here. This is spot on. The field of Agile coaching, books, conferences, and personalities is the most self referential circus of bullshit anyone could dream up.

Not to be a Talmudist but the vast majority of people who advise others on Agile haven't even read the foundational texts behind the prevailing theories.

The truth is Agile in all its forms is merely a reaction to what came before it and has precious little basis in any sort of proven first principles. For all the ink spilled on Agile it has failed to produce a unified field theory. Instead it is a collection of camp fire stories, post hoc assertions, and petty disagreements over style.

It's a bunch of fucking muppets. I hate most of my colleagues, I really do.
>The latest was Michael Collopy, a 60-year-old Chelsea resident who was plowed into by a bicyclist while standing in a bike lane in the Flatiron District on July 31 and died a week later. The bicyclist fled.

I think the main issue is that there is lack of established right-of way between pedestrians and cyclists. The Brooklyn Bridge is safety nightmare when tourists walk in the bike lane, and cyclists who blaze over 15mph on a sidewalk endanger everybody.

In the street, it's not much safer for cyclists when you have cars that sideswipe pedestrians, and the bike lanes can be obstructed by parked cars and trash. I see transportation on a whole growing into chaos with the mix of pedestrians with boosted boards, scooters, hoverboards and the like. While accidents do happen between pedestrians and cars on the street, there are clear rules for both cars and pedestrians for who gets to occupy which space at a given time.

Bike lanes are not treated with respect by drivers, businesses and pedestrians. With a bunch of new classes of electric vehicles as well that can endanger pedestrians, I think that there should be a speed limit set for the sidewalk, electric vehicles can use the bike lane, and obstructions of bike lanes are worth parking tickets. Rules of the bike lane should be the same as cars, with places for speed limited zones and stop signs to help with safety in pedestrian crossing zones, and intersections.

I think another issue of bike lanes is that they are too thin. No space for passing, and often times cars feel too comfortable infringing on the space. While double-wide spacing for bike lanes would take away from street space or sidewalk space, they would feel much safer and encourage adoption of transportation that lowers congestion.

That being said, bike lanes are only as good as they are maintained as with pretty much any part of the infrastructure.

I am also not a lawyer, and wonder how far arbitration stretches: If an anbiter determines that damages are owed, and the person doesn't pay, does that dealing with that revert to the courts? Who enforces the arbitration -- The police? If an arbiter makes a decision which is clearly illegal, will a court refuse to enforce it?
> can't recall a non casino USA atm ever doing hundreds

I've gotten them before when pulling out a few hundred dollars, but since most ATMs have a limit between $400-800, I guess it makes more sense to just stock them with small bills. I've gotten them before, but if I need more than $100 or so, I'll go into the branch so I can get exactly the denominations I want (e.g. I wanted $100s when I bought my car or for gifts, but I want $1s, $5s, and $10s for baby sitters and tips).

I'm not arguing against subsidy, everyone else is- most of the comments here are that rural citizens are 'getting what they deserve' because they don't vote correctly in national elections and burn too much carbon on the farm or whatever. I don't believe someone in SF has to subsidize a hospital in Alabama, but I do believe they have to subsidize a hospital in the Central Valley, either through taxation or through higher food prices.

Yes, this article is pretty much misleading end to end, and not taking into account the cost of heating is the keystone.

Everyone who thinks about this issue should stop cherry-picking some particular consumption good you think should be curtailed.

One, it's anti-humanistic, you'll end up getting slammed for telling (poorer) people from hotter areas to suck it up, and contra the article, you'll deserve it.

Two, analytically it seems to confuse even people who should know better. You have to take the whole system into account.

Directly pricing the externalities of carbon emissions solves both of these.

I have Facebook open in another window and opened the network inspector to compare it:

Just moving the mouse towards the like button created 824KB of data transfer. Not sure if it is because of tracking the mouse movement or if it preloads stuff it thinks my mouse is moving towards. Or maybe it loads stuff that it would display if I held the mouse over something longer. No idea. But it loaded 824KB without me interacting with anything. Just because I moved the mouse.

The actual click on the like button added 30KB on top of that.
I wish it were also Rejewski et al. on the bill, the Polish mathematicians who originally cracked the Enigma about 8 years before they handed their work over to Turing.
People seem to be confusing web 2.0/bootstrap style design (see: Reddit's bad redesign) with the frameworks here but the component based approach combined with webpack/compilation steps, which are very much mainstreaming, are fundamentally different than top heavy JS frameworks I spent most of the last decade using.

I dont think people have really seen what server-side rendering (ala Next.js/Nuxt.js), decoupled components, modern treeshaking, minification, and chunking can do for performance. We've yet to have a full web framework designed entirely to encompass this from day one but they're coming and getting better at it.

Outside of the endless 3rd party crap the 'business' guys add, if anything, it's no longer the JS framework size and library cruft I'm worried about it's how many object watchers I've got at runtime via Vue.js and reactive style programming (which automatically adds Object.observe style watchers to all data) + component initializers (which can add overhead to simple HTML templates). Fortunately with the new Vue 3 function API there is a clear distinction between observed values vs static/immutable/config data. The amount of observers per page dropped dramatically. Otherwise looking at a Vue project in the performance tab shows it's highly async and efficient.

The new Vue functional API (allegedly) is also going to be far easier to treeshake so you really only ever get the library features you're using. Even for something like Lodash or Ramda where you might use only 10% of the functions it's a big deal.

I'm sure React is making similar progress in this direction and it was already smaller than Vue.

CSS Frameworks have some ways to go and PurgeCSS isn't perfect but using a functional CSS framework like Tailwind or Tachyons also helps in this regard, so all of the stuff isn't intertwined and can be stripped out.

This type of tooling really does massively improve the state of things automatically, even with poor coding practices or large applications spanning multiple pages. SSR, treeshaking, chunking, stripping unused CSS, etc is a 'zero cost' type optimization that I've seen turn 700-1000kb dev assets into loading 100kb base + a few 5-10kb js/CSS files dependent on the page.

Agile coaches love to name drop Cynefin, having zero understanding of it and having never read anything of David Snowden's.

Cynefin is great, but it is merely an abstract set of principles.
We are talking about a situation where you already have a server room and employees.

And by “changing your processes” I guess I should also include “changing your people”. Automate the processes where you can, reduce headcount, and find ways to migrate to manage services where it makes sense.

The devs are happy because they can spin up hardware and apologize later, which feels really good until you find out people are spinning up more hardware instead of fixing an n^2 problem or something equally dumb in their code (like slamming a server with requests that always return 404).

I hate to say it, but throwing hardware at a problem long enough to get customers, prove the viability of an implementation and in start up world, get to the next round of funding or go public and then optimize is not always the wrong answer - see Twitter.

But, if you have bad developers they could also come up with less optimum solutions on prem and cause you to spend more.

With proper tagging, it’s easy to know where to point the finger when the bill arrives.

Did you know that the golden ratio defines the temporal structure of the brain?

While the main brainwave bands are harmonics (theta is roughly double delta, alpha is roughly double theta, beta is roughly double alpha and so on), the band widths have a ratio of the golden ratio. That's because the golden ratio is the most irrational number. While harmonic oscillations will overlap regularly, irrational frequency ratios will never overlap. This allows for multiplexing in the brain, EMG , where high theta and low theta don't interfere with one another.

Power relationships. Say the recipient is the client that represents 90% of your income. And the incompetent secretary is the boss's daughter.

Is it "up to them to hire someone else"? Totally. Will they? No. Your turn. Will you bend backwards to acommodate that client or will you drop it?
You can zoom in to hit them. Personally I much prefer being able to see a tonne more content on the screen, then zooming in to interact with it. Then having a mobile site in which you see like 1 post per screen and the buttons are large.
They say it's Amazon that killed Fry's. Maybe, to a measure, but also not. One thing Amazon can't do is human contact. When I first came to Fry's, sometime in 2000s, attracted by its still living image of a store for geeks, and tried to ask for a finer details of this and that camera and this and that laptop - both available on Amazon, but I needed some help figuring out which one I want, and if they helped me I'd buy one there and then, even if it would be slightly more expensive, because only thing that beats 2-day delivery is 0-second delivery, I already hold it in my hands!

But most that I got from the local store workers is "huh, I'm not sure, let me check the manual" and "well, this says it has got these specs, and that one got those specs, and the price is different, so that's the difference". Thanks, helpful workers, I can read too, I was looking for something that isn't in the label directly in front of my face. Looks like you're not paid enough to care.

There are only three things that brick-and-mortar retailers can compete with Amazon and other online shops now - being able to physically touch the merchandize before buying, being able to get it immediately and being able to talk to a human that can answer questions and provide advice. Unfortunately, it looks like the majority of retailers still do not realize this, especially the last one. Maybe they just don't have the money to hire somebody who would know and care - but in this case there's no reason to prolong their suffering by shopping there, just let them die and release the real estate for more productive uses. I, however, while being an extreme introvert, would still would like to have some stores where I can talk to a knowledgeable human. And yes, I'd pay a reasonable money for it, if only there would be somebody who wants to earn it.

> A friend and I visited the Fry's on Lawrence Expressway back in the late 80's. Across the street from WeirdStuff.

Even better, there was Fry's and WeirdStuff on the west side of Lawrence, and nearby on the east side was a Computer Literacy Bookstore and a Togo's. Many a Saturday of mine was spent visiting that Fry's and WeirdStuff, then crossing Lawrence to pick up some books and magazines at Computer Literacy, then reading the magazines while enjoying a large hot #7 at Togo's.
