> Software needs to be a little more self-contained. Software reuse these days is honestly taking “not reinventing the wheel” to lazy extremes.

The three cardinal virtues of a programmer are laziness, impatience and hubris. I've never seen a decent argument against using ever-smaller libraries (as long as our dependency management is good enough to track them); all of the usual arguments for reusing libraries still apply, even if we take them further than their originators imagined.

> System package management systems do things just fine. Ask yourself, “when did I last properly package a Debian library? Do I even know how to do it properly?” Most people won’t be able to answer that because they didn’t.

Well, as we're seeing, Debian is struggling to keep up with packaging of everything that users want. I have actually created some (unofficial) debian packages; it's fine, but it's not a particularly inspiring experience either. Creating a maven/pip/... package is generally a nicer experience.

> But truth be told, having each programming language a unique package manager sucks. I’d rather have a consistent way of managing packages on a given system so that I can use various programming languages.

In principle I agree. But I'd definitely need to be able to install independent copies of the same library, different packages for different users, and fundamentally just have a nice development experience when working on that package manager. And that's not something I see the sysadmin tradition being able to come up with.

These kinds of questions have an essential unknowability to them, in that every phenomenon you try to model through computing is an inexact approximation - whether it's something like the precision of a mathematical computation or "what is this human being's real name".

What we have done to date is the low-hanging fruit: take known categories of application and juice them up by applying CPU power. And for that, the amount of power you need is "enough to have an effect". A lion's share of the benefits of putting computers in the loop were realized in the 70's or 80's, even though the measured amount of power that could be applied then was relatively miniscule. There were plenty of alternatives at various times that were "better" or "worse" in some technical sense, but succeeded or failed based on other market factors. The real story going forward from then has been changes in I/O interfaces, connectivity and portability - computing has merely "kept up with" the demands imposed by having higher definition display, networking, etc.

So then we have to ask, what are the remaining apps? If we can engineer a new piece of hardware that addresses those, it'll see some adoption. And that's the thrust of going parallel: It'll potentially hit more categories at once than trying to do custom fast silicon for single tasks.

But the long-term trend is likely to be one of consolidating the bottom end of the market with better domain solutions. These solutions can be software-first, hardware-later, because the software now has the breathing room to define the solution space and work with the problem domain abstractly, instead of being totally beholden to "worse-is-better" market forces.

That's unlikely. Worst case: examine where the package will put its files, and prep your system with symbolic links to directories residing on a file system on the other disk(s).

But that raises the question: why are your file systems sensitive to disk drives? Use a layer (or more) of indirection through LVM and RAID so to make the drive placement opaque and robust.
That solves the slightly different problem of having too many bad tenants.

I can't speak to the others, but if you've installed rubygems on Windows, you've installed mingW, and you have access to those tools. This is because rubygems will not build source gems against microsofts toolchain, but against the gcc toolchain ala mingW.

If you prefer using Powershell on Windows, great (or bat if you're a masochist). The point was that being in Ruby doesn't automatically invalidate the use of make as a build tool.

It really depends. I mostly work remote--technically I'm assigned to an office but don't even have a desk there--but am in a very distributed group within a relatively distributed company. Most of the external people we work with (and our customers) are very distributed anyway. But, yes, on-site is still the default for both good and bad reasons.

> The market cap for any security, by definition, is price-per-security number-of-securities

Market cap is an equities concept. The market value of a series of bonds isn't the issuance's market cap. The notional value of all options on a symbol is only useful to operations/settlement folk.

For Bitcoin, "market cap" is meaningless. It's too thinly and opaquely traded. Better would be flow of funds, i.e. value of new money flowing into and out of the system.

Put another way, if you bought all the shares in a company, you'd have the company. If you bought all the bonds of a company, you'd own the debt. The aggregates have meaning. If you bought every Bitcoin in existence (or dollar, for that matter), you would have nothing.
Electric cars typically have 1% the moving parts of an internal combustion engine vehicle. If the chassis is built well, you just need to swap out the motor and battery as needed, and flush the coolant every 5 years. There's no belts, chains, pumps etc for the most part to maintain or replace. The model X is pretty complex but if you look at the model 3 it's just a bunch of plug and play parts like a PC.

It's napkin math based on the Bitcoin network's hard limitations of 4-7 transactions/second, so assuming 5 tx/s, then there's 432K transactions/day limit.

Since lightning requires Bitcoin to settle transactions between parties, it means that the more users there are making transactions, the more it needs bitcoin.

If it's just a handful of users making a million transactions, then there's no problem since lightning will do the math and then settle on Bitcoin with a handful of transactions. If there's a million users making a handful of transactions, well, then lightning needs to settle a few million transactions on Bitcoin (which takes weeks).

which is absolutely insane in my opinion, to have a shiny quickly depreciating status symbol. the amount of interest paid over the life of a 72-84 month loan is nuts. but people are short sighted and look at the monthly loan payment amount only. dealerships of course know this, and start naive people off in the negotiating with "how much do you want to pay a month?". they'll never show an amortization table.

Databases need sequential access because they often scan tables and indexes. Unless a SELECT query uses equality, the database engine needs to test many values to see if they match predicates.
Are these numbers based on anything concrete or are they just judgment calls? Whatever one thinks about class sizes, 14:1 seems absurd as a legal limit for everyone.

I think it also comes down to the "quality" of the college, good schools and great teachers can make a massive difference. College allows you to explore your interests, make friends with a wide variety of people, which you may not be able to do later in life. I got a good education - but besides that, I made great friends who introduced me to interests which am still pursuing. Unfortunately, a lot of the American college experience centers on binge drinking, getting laid, frats and sororities and college sports. Find a school that is not about the above BS and you'll get a first-class experience.
That doesn't dismiss its immense benefits. Besides, what's the source of your claim? Package quality, ease of install, and security were always high-priority topics for Debian AFAICT.

I understand how ITP works, its intention and goals since this had a significant impact on my work. And assuming a good intention on Apple's side, this makes me pretty confident that Apple doesn't want to put significant investment of its resource on studying how the ads ecosystem works (and of course they don't have a strong motivation to do so).

On browser-side conversion tracking, I can say that this will unlikely be adopted by advertisers/publishers in the current form. This is not my own opinion, but more about general feeling across advertisers/publishers that I've met.

Why is taxing high earners more a good idea? It just gives people an incentive to either not make that much money or leave the country to make more money.
"Mustn't" means exactly the same thing as "must not" (but makes it clear that the negative should be scoped to the verb, by using an inflected negative form of the verb itself), so yes, there's something funny going on with "must".
>Lightning only scales with the number of transactions, not users.

You seem to be poking at the need to open a lightning channel to get started using lightning and using the onboarding time to suggest that lightning cannot scale. First of all I think the way you made that argument is entirely disingenuous. Let's look at your first example:

>* For 2 users to make 10,000,000 transactions between each other, it would take 10 minutes on the lightning network.

It would take 10 minute for any two users to get started with lightning in the traditional way because that's the block time used in Bitcoin. For the record, lightning in not just for Bitcoin. It would take 2.5 minutes if using Litecoin for instance.

What you are obscuring here is that once the channel is set up, the two users could transact with each other with no delay. That's what makes your example both incorrect and disingenuous.

Your next example is basically the same thing, but at scale. You are incorporating on boarding times to get a big scary number.

I encourage you to read about channel factories which should alleviate onboarding times.

>> It's too thinly and opaquely traded

That claim about "thinly" contradicts the numbers given in my post above.
Sure; I'm not against the idea. But if you follow Gibson's entire oevre as a reader, it quickly becomes a very obvious, tiring pattern.

Gibson has a template, which goes: A wealthy, shadowy figure with nebulous intentions hires the main character, a professional of some sort, to investigate/seek out/collect something which isn't what it seems, and meanwhile machinations are happening behind the scenes, and at the end it appears the main character's purpose was peripheral and/or the intent was to lure some sought-after person to reveal themselves. The template becomes incredibly obvious once you recognize it.

Interestingly, for some reason Gibson makes the mechanics of his plots painfully transparent. Another favourite author of mine, Iain M. Banks, has a few books that, if you think about them, follow a similar pattern: The Player of Games, Against a Dark Background, The Hydrogen Sonata, and Consider Phlebas all have the main character trapped in a trajectory where they're effectively secondary to large-scale background machinations and all-powerful AIs. (Against a Dark Background is maybe the most Gibsonesque here, and is less satisfying as a result, while still being very enjoyable.)

One of Gibson's better books, I think, is Cont Zero — not a popular opinion, as far as I can tell — precisely because he eschews some of his normal narrative tics. But that novel also clearly justifies the lack of agency by following characters who are, from the outset, on the run from forces beyond their control.

While I was working at a crypto fund I did an experiment with the ceo of one of the largest liquidity providers at the time in crypto, we analyzed how many trades were printing compared to the depth of market at this one particular exchange (I forget which now because it was a while ago). We noticed there was significant fake volume on the exchange, for example an order of 50 bitcoin would print at some level, and the depth of market and pricee would not change at all, even at the level of interest. This went on pretty much all day.

That being said I don’t think bitcoin’s trading volume is a majorly faked. I think there are a few bad actors in the exchange industry, especially during the bubble, who were trying to give the illusion of volume and popularity to drive more clients so they could extract their fees + raise money.

If people are truly worried about this issue then just trade on a regulated exchange like CME.

Montana has some odd liquor laws, so that's likely the largest reason for the price. There's a quota system in incorporated cities and counties, meaning supply doesn't hit demand inflating prices. The system should be done away with, but alas.
I don't think that's a real insight. You could equally say that O(n^3) should be a sweet spot because you can nest a loop 3 deep, and so on for n^4, n^5 and so on. But we don't see these cases making it out into the wild because they're caught in testing.
>Commodities over the long-run track inflation and do not produce the sort of inflation-adjusted excess returns that stocks do. This means that Bitcoin, in spite of large gains from 2010-2013 and from 2015-2017, is guaranteed to be a shitty investment.

So commodities are bad investments, and the author deems Bitcoin a commodity, therefore Bitcoin is a bad investment? I don't find this logic very convincing. Bitcoin has numerous properties that traditional commodities do not have, which makes all the difference.
Really it comes down to Big-C "Communist" vs little-c "communist". Soviet Russia was little-c "communist" in that you weren't allowed to make much money and if you made a lot you weren't allowed to spend it, so everyone had exactly the same things and quality of things.

More modern "communist" countries are Big-C Communist, more correctly titled Capitalist Authoritarianism. You can have as much of anything as you want, as long as you're loyal to the government and agree that the government can take everything you own any time they want. Including your business or your billions of dollars.

China has hundreds of billionaires even though they're "Communist" because they're not actually communist, they're Authoritarian Capitalist.

The need to be a "jackass", "party"... in college and high school seems uniquely American (probably a couple other 1st world countries as well). Not only have we extended adolescence nearly indefinitely, we've invented a desperate need for people to embrace self-destructive behavior to better match pre-adult societal expectations. The 20th Century did a real number on people's personal and social philosophy. It's going to take generations to shake off "sex, drugs and rock 'n roll" as the primary motivator.

All of this is to say, that just because school better aligns an individual's behavior with that of their expected peer group, it doesn't mean that's a good thing.

I'm curious: if the male and female brain, from a neuroscientific perspective, are truly the same - can we assume the book's author would be perfectly fine with all neuroscience from now on be done on male brains exclusively and the results then applied to female brains without further research?

I'd argue SF is more culturally important than New York City. New York is important economically and politically and historically, but culturally speaking, today it's a bit of a drag. Other than broadway (which is really a minority of culture anyway), I'm not sure what important thing happens there. LA is probably the most culturally important city in the US, followed by San Francisco. Nashville or New Orleans is probably a more important city culturally than New York. This is in terms of production of culture, rather a place where one may consume it, for which New York would win easily.

New York has a lot of culture, diversity, and history, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't really define American culture in the way Californian cities do.
