Pays zero what? They have to buy the hardware so I assume you mean electricity, pretty sure bribing allows them to operate, it doesn't cover electricity costs.
Ok, we'll change everything to merely the world in the title above.
Start over space theories all over again. Lets not build our assumptions on previous generation findings.

Only if we take path of how the previous geniuses went through we will have a flawless exploration. Instead of doing that, if we work on someone else's work, its like eating someone else's recipie and trying to remake the tase of it without understanding the ingredients in it.
There is a discussion on Stackshare(a bit old) about the tech they are using:

Hmm, yeah, I guess that if we want patronage to become a viable economic model, then it will have to be taxed at some point... Since I mostly give to (AFAIK) tax-exempt entities, I didn't think of this...

But neither seems to have Google ! While the global license/patronage debates are already a decade old, and we have seen new companies get started and even established in this sector (Patreon).
For instance this "donations" page only seems to cover non-profits ?

Ode to skimming
On a previous HK discussion on OAM[¹], it was mentioned that the idea is to provide a higher level abstraction on kubernetes that enable developers to configure and deploy distributed applications in a platform-agnostic way.

One of the author's of the OAM spec mentioned that an OAM abstraction might enable developers to deploy to k8s, docker swarm or Apache mesos with the same OAM config, provided that all platforms (or vendors) implement/support the OAM API.

Jives with my experience that any place that talks about diversity pays 20-50% less. I call it the virtue tax.
> The 3 groups of people that can't drive, are these 2 and kids.

Ah sorry, I should have explicitly stated that they need others to drive them around. Taxis and public transport are usually not convenient for them.
There's inconsistencies, and then there's real inconsistencies.

Recall some predictions that were later confirmed: the top quark (18 years later) or the Higgs boson (48 years!). These theories were a jigsaw puzzle with a single piece-shaped hole. You could call "inconsistency!" and break apart the whole puzzle, or look behind the couch for the missing piece. (The piece was found!)

We also have real inconsistencies, such as between QM and GR. Not a missing piece but a yawning gap: no single observation can fill in that hole.

Dark matter is a "missing piece" problem. The dark matter hypothesis fills in the cosmological missing mass problem, galactic rotation curves, Bullet-cluster-style gravitational observations, the expectation of non-EM interacting particles, and others. The gap between prediction and observation is the size and shape of a single jigsaw piece; let's just find it behind the couch.

Dark energy is a "real inconsistency" problem. Predictions and observations are orders of magnitude apart. Well hell.
Yes, this is what economists simply call price discrimination and for any normal business it is definitly illegal.

This is a grey zone now, but it will be decided that either it is illegal now, or it will be made illegal eventually.

So I'd be careful with this kind of stuff.
pays zero electricity costs, yes. A couple grand a year can buy you all the electricity you want. tens or hundreds or of grand per year, or millions. A couple grand is a lot in terms of China salaries.

you'll never find a systematic article on it, but these aren't the first or the last incidents.

they also pay much lower hardware costs than the US does, because it all happens off the books. Chinese mining farms with internal hardware/super cheap power are nothing new.

china doesn't and never has played fairly in terms of hardware or power costs. crypto as a whole has been embraced because it's a good system to move value past chinese capital controls, you just are getting your beak wet as that money moves.

just like those 2 million dollar houses in vancouver or whatever. Sure, it's great to be trading in that current, or providing property management services, or to be holding the asset as it's pumped up by that money moving under the chinese capital controls!

> People who promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace are not trying to change the lifestyles of all employees, as your hypothetical preacher is doing.

Oh, but they are. Don't do "not all SJWs" argument ;).

Seriously though, this is a bit motte-and-bailey-ish. Sure, diversity and inclusion in the workplace are desirable, but the meaning of those terms is quite different from the one that's being actively promoted (until challenged, when the promoters revert back to pointing out the desirable characteristics; hence the motte-and-bailey).

> Yes, that means people may have to attend uncomfortable trainings or learn to behave differently on the clock.

Yeah, and this is where it often starts to feel like indoctrination. You have the trainings telling you what to do, and HR playing the role of commissars, ensuring you comply. Things like [0] don't happen when it's the level-headed people who are promoting diversity.

> It may be true that some people in some companies are overzealous in their enforcement of inclusivity policies. It may be that the way they are trying to implement those policies has an adverse effect on some other groups in the company. But that is an issue of execution that can be taken up with the people responsible for the initiative.

There's a very real and documented risk that trying to do that will result in the termination of the person doing the taking up, perhaps loud enough to attract a headline.

My point with the religious example is to try and make you change perspective, to look at things from the POV of people who oppose discussion of diversity/inclusion politics at work. I'm not it's a perfectly rational position. Feelings are involved. But it is a position that has reasons behind it, and I try to shine the light on those reasons. Do the thought experiment. Look at your social feed, and mentally replace every minority issue with a theocratic issue. Look at the co-worker zealously fighting for social justice and imagine they have a Bible in their hand instead of the rainbow in their lap. This is how it feels to be a person for whom diversity, while still desirable, isn't the most important issue in their lives.

People who say they want to keep politics out of work aren't enemies. They're often sympathetic to your cause, and at the very least willing to accommodate your personal idiosyncrasies. They just know that once you start encouraging such discussions at work, some preacher will always come out of the come out of the woodwork and turn the workplace into a battleground between two rabid minorities fighting it out and trying to desperately recruit people from the indifferent majority to join the cause. None of this is conductive to work, happiness or civilization.

What I'm trying to do with the preacher example is to point out that just because you care about some issue deeply, doesn't mean others do, and you'll get much better headway with them if you respect the fact they have different priorities, and don't want to join wars they don't believe in. It's just as true in case of religion as it is in case of diversity.

But the same could be applied to almost any consumer product. My kids want to buy these crappy plastic toys at the supermarket, wastefully packaged and shipped from China, of no-use to anyone yet energy is expended to design, make and ship them internationally. And this is just one consumer product from China. Have you seen Alibaba offerings of late?
Right, but there wasn't a council meeting that voted to name these things. Names and notation arise organically. And the first thought of a physicist publishing a paper isn't (nor should it be), how will the general public misinterpret this?

This misconception can be explained in one sentence when somebody asks what exactly dark matter and energy actually are, and it doesn't really matter what people who don't care to ask think about the subject, because well, they don't care.
As he mentions marketplace, maybe he's talking about product developers and ops teams in other organisations? Elastic, for example, publish an OAM that helps X organisation to get started and they can customise the implementation?
> Just make mining useless.

This would make Bitcoin useless.

> Cannot the bitcoin developers put in a massive difficulty jump at this point?

No, because the miners will continue to run the useful version (for some definition of useful). Changing the algorithm would require a hard-fork and a hard-fork to turn down the network will result in the "new" branch of the fork ... turning down, while the old one continues.
In case it is of use to anyone on this thread, I’ve developed ‘django-hordak’, the core of double entry accounting system based on Django.

It provides models with Postgres constraints to ensure the double entry accounting rules are not broken.

It isn’t the same scale as Books, but I imagine that won’t matter for a lot of use cases.

Where's your line on what constitutes politics then? Is a discussion on let's say patterns of harassment of female employees by senior staff and ways to avoid that a political discussion? Is a discussion of salary disparities at the company among employees of different genders and races a political discussion?

The point is that instead of drawing a line around topics to say which ones are acceptable and which ones are not, there should be a line that says any discussion that causes harm/hurt to colleagues is frowned upon and to be avoided?

It's quite easy to say let's avoid politics because it causes problems at work, but that stance ignores the nuance in the situation.
Last season, Siakam came off the bench and became a key player in the team’s championship run. Many are hopeful that we see other players such as Anunoby who was plagued by injuries last year and Powell step up to the plate

What remains to be seen is whether anyone currently on the roster can become the feature player that Leonard was.

Fans will likely get a better sense when the preseason gets underway. The team is scheduled to play four games, two of which will be against the Houston Rockets in Japan. The team will receive their championship rings at the home-opener on Oct. 22 when they face the New Orleans Pelicans at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

Are the smooth raises and flat lines in the estimated values explained somewhere? Seems highly questionable if the hash rate is fluctuating.

"Wow! That is surprising!"

I gave it a shot. How did I do? It isn't very surprising no, I think the author just added that in to add a nefarious tone to the article.
Given the norm for question titles, the answer must be "It can't." Also simply based on what a universe is.

What we have are just different estimates for the age of our universe. And none of them involve simple measurement, obviously. So the challenge is finding the artifact(s) that generate the disagreement.
>The only hope for a 'general theory' is the Theory of Everything. We don't have one of those. Well, physicists don't - theists do.

> It's a future-telling story on how computerized bureaucracies can create great troubles. But in real life, often the problems are not even caused by computers, but by government officials, humans, that fail the Turing Test.

I think the story makes this point, effectively, when it gets to the court system and everyone goes on vacation at exactly the wrong moment. You could make the case this is a story about Fate in the Greek sense, with the computer merely being Fate's instrument and everyone being helpless in the face of one man's fated demise.
In some countries (e.g. France) it is illegal to refuse to sell to an individual bona fide customer. That's in addition to the anti-discrimination (race, gender, etc) laws we have in Europe.

So if you sell cakes for €10 and I show up and hand you €10 you are not legally allowed to refuse to sell me that cake. (heads have rolled for less...)

This is pretty effective at preventing discrimination that may otherwise be difficult to prove.
I'm sorry, what? Anyone born in the US is a citizen, not an immigrant. Their parents may be citizens or immigrants (legal or otherwise).

Section 1 of the 14th amendment:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

If you're saying law enforcement agencies are depriving US citizens of liberty without due process I'm sure every news agency in the country would love to run stories with your evidence.
> to strive to be non-political.

To strive to be "non-political" is an intensely political position. It's basically a complete support of the status quo.

To not take a stand on a position is as much of a position as taking a stand. We live in this world. It's literally impossible to disengage.

Not saying anything, or not disagreeing is as much a statement as saying something, or disagreeing. Neutrality is a political position. Deal with it.

The IETF is absolutely a political organization, but it's focus is in areas where there is much less discord and a general interest in actual practical problem solving, with hard, measurable outcomes, so there's much less room for gaming of facts. Go look at the discussion of any contentious RFC if you don't agree. Just because it's not advocating a extreme viewpoint that's completely divorced from reality (as the NRA is) doesn't make it "less political", it just makes it less contentious.

Voting is a continuous event. Participating in it requires extensive and continuous discussion among peers who would make up their mind.
So basically let me get summarise this:

- you have an employee that works faster than others, in the same pay grade.

- You are annoyed that he or she has empty queue of work

- You expect employees to look for tasks on their own when they are done

so either that employee:

- has no creative control over the work he or she is doing and cannot move forwards on their own.

- is severely underpaid and undervalued

- is under bad management that cannot fill their work queue fast enough

All of that will lead into them doing tasks at the same speed as other ones - you just turned a good, valuable and fast employee into another drone.. or worse - they'll go work for competition, and you'll have to both suffer the loss of a good trained employee and a cost of hiring someone else.

If they plan to compete with Splunk they need do some serious rework of Kibana. Even something relatively new like Humio is must easier to work with than Kibana.

Entire ELK stack was always pretty bad, compared to Splunk or a syslog server and grep, in my opinion.

We tried to buy a support contract from Elastic years back, but the pricing model put all useful levels of support way beyond our reach. Apparently they didn't understand that we had to make our money and didn't have VC funding.

- list can be navigated using keyboard, and then selected from

Physics isn't about equations. It's about models of the universe that suggest a certain underlying "working" of the system. If our models are not predicting observations....it just means we still haven't figured out how things really work.

Not surprising given we still can't even explain the double slit experiment wwithout resorting to paradox and contradiction.

For all we know telepathy, magic, reincarnation and wormholes all might be true, we just haven't advanced our understanding of the universe and reality to that point yet.
Here is the wikipedia article on the theoretical basis:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination

Many forms of price discrimination, like menu pricing or 2-part tariffs, as well as group pricing, are used every day.
This, however, is an attempt at first-order price discrimination enabled by near-perfect tracking of users. It is then unclear to what degree this may or not be illegal, or will be in the future.

Important to keep in mind is that it "hurts" the consumers in the sense they can no longer get a theoretical surplus. Therefore consumers would have to change their mindset about purchasing things. Goods would have to be bought more with a mindset of filling "necessities", because on average we, the consumers, would lose surplus compared to firms.

So naturally, this has the potential to piss off consumers, either if they have the intuition, or understand what price discrimination does.

Edit: As for the legality, I can give the following advice. First, be very careful about how you classify consumers, because many group-based discriminations (such as gender) that are implicitly used by ML algorithms, are definitly illegal.

Second, price discrimination in the "normal world" often points to having monopoly power. Currently, there is no good eqivalent for the internet world, because many monopoly tests fail by default (for example, entry). That is why I believe the EU or the US will eventually legislate against this form of personalized pricing to protect consumers.

It is a grey zone now because, for example, the EU legislates that illegality necessitates a) a monopolistic position and b) using it to hurt consumer surplus or block competition.
For internet companies, with some big platforms being the exception, the test for a) fails by default.

This differs from country to country, but because the algorithms can only infer purchasing power based on characteristica, I believe that they will be made illegal (in the EU) based on the respective constitutional laws that make discrimination based on these properties illegal, and I do not think monopolistic postitions will be necessary.

That means even a small internet start-up should be careful.
That’s actually pretty common for payment systems where you care about the journal balancing but every account is basically a liability because it’s all someone else’s money.

You just end up with an apparently negative balance in the income account that represents your own cut due to fees etc. From the GL point of view it looks like a subledger with a contra account but that’s nothing to faze a competent accountant. Back in the 13th century it was probably tricky to represent on an abacus, not so much now.
