"While we’re here, let’s clear up some GOP disinfo:
- “It’s 1500 jobs vs 25,000”: The 25,000 jobs figure was a 10-20 year fantasy # from Amazon, not a promise or agreement. In exchange for that lack of commitment, they wanted billions of public $. Their Y1 jobs projection was 700."
There's no such thing as a "market cap" for Bitcoin - seriously, give me a definition of "market cap" for Bitcoin that makes any sense at all compared to something like the future value of cash flows from UNH equity.
I have a hard time believe its anything other than market makers providing the illusion of trades. Have you seen the price swings? If there was real volume and real transactions asides from trades, how would such insane swings be possible?
Correction: C11 brought anonymous unions, which perhaps explains why they're not used in standard headers. Standard headers on most unix systems do make use of C99 features these days.
Bitcoin is not a stock though. Forex markets do $5 trillion in daily volume against an $80 trillion base. For example.
I think you meant "disincentivize". I agree that there should be strong incentives to spread prosperity to smaller towns. Japan has an interesting tax program that boosts the small towns in the country: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2018/10/19/japanese-hometown-tax/
For me, this is the one of the things that makes Gibson’s books fascinating. Feature, not a bug.

Often his stories are told from the points of view of three different characters, each of whom doesn’t fully understand what’s going on, and as events are generally instigated by vastly powerful AIs, corporations or ogliarchs, they have little power to do anything but hold on and try not to die.

The fun for the reader is to piece together the clues and work out the implications of what the characters are experiencing.

> Why is subsidized daycare necessary in these cases though?

Because of time effects.

> In America if daycare costs X and you earn Y much greater than X, then obviously you'll make more money going to work and sending your kid to daycare than being a stay at home parent.

Yes, but if you would make on average, over the course of the years where a child would need daycare if you weren't at home, much more than the cost of daycare but the crossover point where working is an immediate advantage is several years down the line, and you don't have a financial cushion for the short term, you won't be able to afford to work initially, and by not working you’ll lose earning potential and push out (perhaps infinitely) that crossover date; it's a vicious cycle.

And two things that make that much more pronounced are that day care has a much higher cost for kids under about 18-24 months (there are fundamentally greater requirements for young kids which in most places are also reflected in more strenuous minimum regulatory requirements) and significant employment breaks have adverse effects on short-term employability outside of unskilled labor fairly quickly. (If you genuinely haven't lost skills you can mostly recover from that over time, but your initial return-to-work pay is likely to be far lower if you weren't already at the bottom and aren't returning to an existing job after a protected leave.)
Question to people who know anything about circuit, processor design: are we confident that current designs and paradigms are almost-as-good-as-it-gets for our classes of materials, or is it just the result of 'good enough design + scale economics = winner CPU arch' (resp. all types of processors) but there could be many great "unknown unknowns" out there?

The premise of the article is simple, due to the evolution of factories, to get factory work you now require a degree unlike the past where the work was more repetitive and unthinking. They are not making the case there are to many college degrees etc.

It also raises the interesting case women (who get more degrees but have less physic strength) now have factory work opened to them.

The implication I read is the massive amounts of men who can't get degrees are in trouble and so are their families, since people marry at similar levels their wives will not have high paid jobs if any at all. New double income families now will become even richer, single income families poorer.
Lua does this as well, and I quite prefer it.

If I return a number or nil, I want to check `if ret`, not `if type(ret) == "number"`. The latter suggests that it might be some other type‡, the former that it might be missing entirely.

A language which provides a proper Boolean has no need for the association between zero and falseness, it is a conflation of levels which can lead to subtle bugs.

‡ yes, nil is also a type. I mean some other type of type.

True. Bringing back manufacturing jobs looks a lot different than what your average person might imagine. You won't have 100 low-skilled but highly paid people manning an assembly line, it'll be 5 engineers and robots.
SheinhardtWigCo's central idea is that if someone receive a packet over the network it has an IP address in it, and that's the sender's "identity" and so the Signal servers can't avoid knowing Alice's "identity" when she does this, and then they can collect such data to try to re-assemble group membership in terms of IP address "identities".

For example let's say a packet arrives from 10.20.30.40 [[ all IPs used are from 10/8 as examples I am aware that Signal probably rejects packets claiming to be from an RFC1918 network ]] which contains proof that group #1 member #4 has authorised adding a new member #8

SheinhardtWigCo believes this tells us that this identity (10.20.30.40) is a member of this group, group #1 and they suppose that Signal's server could in fact store this, and then perhaps later tell some Spooks a list of such members of group #1 and it could do this on a vast scale, so that it would be able to say for any "identity" (IP address) the list of all identities (IP addresses) which seem to be members of groups which that identity is also a member of.

Now, I don't think Spooks would find that very useful, but there you go, that's what SheinhardtWigCo thinks is a big problem here.

> I agree the lowest paying jobs should not be subsidized, but I think the benefits of taxpayer subsidized childcare would be overwhelmingly positive.

I don't understand. What's the difference?

You are using taxes revenues to subsidize uneconomical labor to be economical.

What is so different about subsidizing a entry worker's pay or their child care bills?

FWIW, the article makes no mention of it, but child care is tax subsidized in the U.S. via the Child Care Credit [1].

That's one perspective. Another one is that the person who is hailed a whistleblower in the USA (Rodchenkov), may himself have quite a (highly questionable, if not blatantly criminal) history of active involvement in doping activities, and may have fled Russia because the net was already closing up around him. This story could of course be all just a smear campaign against the man. However, it's rather hard to tell, since verifiable info appears hard to come by. Still, I'd rather not blindly believe the man on his own word, considering what is known about him. I also did read somewhere (but was unable to verify) that the RUSADA data that has been tempered with (the reason for this WADA ruling), allegedly may have been modified from a US based IP address, with a user account of a close associate of Rodchenkov (Migachev, who also fled to the USA). Again, this could be all a smear campaign or damage control. Still, I'd rather not judge either way, before knowing the actual validity of these allegations. Lately, the USA sure does not have a very clean slate themselves, where it comes to their involvement/corruption of supposedly independent international organizations, aiming to pursue blatently anti-Russian political policies.
Réseaux Sociaux BtoB: Quelle stratégie digitale btob mettre en place
I'd argue that IRS tax treatment of Bitcoin as an asset (and thus making every currency-like purchase - even when exchanging for good or services - a taxable event) is another significant factor.

Fees may have made this inevitable, but having to deal with taxes has definitely made me much more wary of using it for small purchases. Bitcoin tax accounting is tedious, and I think once a company solves non-custodial record keeping for the purposes of automated tax accounting, it will increase velocity of spending.
So would rather the potential for the potentially deadly physical inability of an individual to trump the feels of an individual?

Bootstrapping and infinite regress... that reminds me of this branch of logic:

with which you can prove a theorem by assuming it in the first place, using infinitary (or circular) proofs and an algorithm to transform these proofs into usual proofs.

There is no "How to" here as far as I can see. If the usable tools were cheap enough, multi-project wafers may be affordable enough for small volume chips. But the open source/cheap tools are not up to snuff, especially for design verification.
That's not how they work. What you're seeing is the issue with not having data shared between networks and the resulting poor targeting.

Retargeting has better results than any other type of targeting but unfortunately there's a gap between the ecommerce systems knowing you bought something and the ad networks used to market those ads. It's easy to drop a pixel and say you looked at a product, but it's much harder to let that same network know that you're no longer interested for whatever reason.

Add in complexities like multiple devices, browsers, ecommerce stores, payment methods, and it only gets harder. This is usually why retargeting is much better with smaller direct-to-consumer companies which tend to have a single customer database and payment method to sync from.
Actual custody is being traded though.
You're only addressing a few variables in a complex equation here. One of the big problems is the economic model that demands constant growth. A part of the problem with this model is that it requires constant population growth, especially to support the retirement of the baby boomers. This population growth comes at a cost to the proletariat. More competition for jobs means downward pressure on wage growth. More consumers means upwards pressure on cost of living. This creates a general movement of wealth in an upward direction. Sure the whole economy would collapse if we tried to move off this model, but perhaps this is what needs to happen. It's an unhealthy unsustainable model anyway.

Another issue is that employees jump around companies these days making companies less likely to invest in employees. People used to be lifetime employees and thus companies were more willing to invest in them with training and education.
Current CPUs are no where near "almost-as-good-as-it-gets" for the simple reason that compatibility with existing software (OS and Consumer Software wise) still is main driving force in CPU design. If you come up with something revolutionary, you have to convince hell-ofa-lot software engineers to port to your arch, because without software no one will buy your hardware.
What about permanent storage? A separate managed database is needed i guess? (Just like the rest of the serverless solutions)
Most states hover in the 5% revenue compared to what the federal government collects in that state? I strongly disagree.

For example, Utah's tax revenue was $9.9 billion in 2018-2019. Federal was $3.6 trillion. But Utah only has 1% of the US population. So if the rest of the states taxed at the rate Utah does, that would be $990 billion, which is about 1/4 of the Federal take. It's way more than 5%. And Utah is not a high-tax state.
Have you ever read about the history of the USSR?

If you include the millions who died in various famines as well as those that were executed directly by Stalin, the number of victims of the USSR has been estimated to be anywhere between 6 and 15 million people.

It is the same way the market has always been, everyone always want to pay the best bang for the buck. Back then college dropout is the best bang fror the buck, not many people has college degree.

> never attended any sorts of sports clubs or any other activities that would involve socializing with people I didn't know

There’s a big part of the problem there. If you know ahead of time that your kids will need lots of socializing with other kids, you can mitigate the relative isolation of homeschooling pretty effectively. Sports clubs, co-op groups, church groups, etc. — all are great places for kids to make friends and socialize.

I'm not nearly as anti-ad as many people I've interacted with on HN and Twitter. I like the idea of getting free-to-me content supported by ads. I resisted running ad blockers for a very, very long time.

But.

The ads just got bigger. And bigger. And more intrusive. They approached 50% of the visible content (and that's on the desktop, not mobile). They played more video. They played more music. They started blocking the content I was trying to read, all in an effort to get me to click.

So I gave in. I run an ad-blocker, too.

Your friend inadvertently pinned what I personally think is the original sin of online advertising: measuring an ad's success through the number of clicks it gets. Ads in other mediums aren't designed with the idea that the only successful ad is one that makes you go AAAAH MUST GO BUY RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW DROP EVERYTHING AAAAAAAA... but 20 years ago, some dingdong decided that because it was possible to measure "direct engagement" with ads on the web in a way you couldn't with TV or print, it was appropriate to measure ads that way.

Think of how different the web might be if, instead, we'd just sold ads by the number of visits to an article the ad is on... or better yet, by the number of visits to the web site, period. "But that's not an exact measure! We can't tell if it's really worth what we're being charged!" You also have no way of knowing whether or not that full-page color ad in the New Yorker is "really worth" what you're being charged, but you know what? You got along fine that way for decades. You did. Your business was fine.
I don't have a crystal ball to claim I know what happens but swings are often due to futures trades and exchanges interested in liquidating longs and shorts.

Nothing has intrinsic value. When you say something can be used or has value, you are speaking subjectively.

To be valuable economically, something just needs to be both scarce and sought after. Just because they are valuable to a specific set of persons does not mean they have intrinsic value.

Pricing of goods and services is emergent in nature, based on demand, scarcity and rate of consumption.

The 'bitcoin hype' is exactly what you are describing when you say:

> Ccs only make sense as a transactional money analog

Bitcoin was designed to just be a general accounting ledger that can't be forged. It is supposed to be a transactional money analog.

The 'value' that you should be investing in when talking about bitcoin is not its price in dollars, but rather that the idea:

The 'value' in bitcoin is that non-mutable accounting ledgers will be more reliable and provide a better account of economic activity over some duration than its pre-existing counterpart. The only way it will lose this is if the security of the system breaks.
The demand for highly-targeted users is what drives up prices. Since Safari users all look the same now and can't be highly targeted, they have lost that high-end demand and prices have fallen to generic display rates.

We had an economics course that was mostly macroeconomics, which under this regulation would technically qualify this requirement, but IMO a class on macroeconomics is about as helpful to learning how to balance your accounts, as watching Iron Chef or Chopped is to learning how to cook meals in a college dorm room.
> I’d argue there’s a difference between socializing and being bullied

And if you could get the socialization without the bullying, that would be great. But I'm not sure there's a way to do that within the existing school structure, so your point seems to be a purely theoretical one.
Gold standard is great for individuals who want to store wealth, but a bad idea for a fiat currency with policy goals like increasing spending, investment and economic velocity. Deflationary currencies are good stores of value, but slow the economy (because why invest/buy now if your money gets more powerful the longer you refrain from spending it).

I think Bitcoin is similar to the gold standard, and its popularity lies in the mismatch of goals between government desires for fiat issuance and individuals for storing value.

Speaking factually, not hypothetically, you want me on your team.

I'm the guy who split his check three ways and raided dumpsters for food, just to make sure everyone got paid. As a private contractor, I have more bosses than I know what to do with: 9 clients at the moment, 7 repeat offenders; with each and every single one of them I don't leave a discussion until I have received a concrete request, established a delivery schedule, and read the whole plan back to the client to reassure everyone that their direction has been received exactly as they want it. If a client comes up and says "I want you to go into overdrive" I am not leaving until he or she explains what is really wanted: for me to produce a rush-ordered video before the end of the month, on top of the two I already have in the pipeline.

And I am also lucid enough to know without being told, when my feedback is wanted, and when my colleague just wants me to keep my mouth shut and listen to him or her talk about the Learning Annex book he or she was reading yesterday.
