Perhaps a better analogy is Newton's cradle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_cradle

The ticking beads don't really move but transfer energy to each other. That's maybe a more useful analogy than the notion of beads or water moving through some pipe.

I'm not a physicist of course but I get that what was explained to me in high school (many decades ago) was probably a bit of an oversimplification. Ticking beads lose some energy as they smash into each other. Hence thin wires heat up and glow.

This is probably cringe-worthy enough for anyone who actually studies this for a living; so I'll stop right there ;-)
Looks like they fixed the issue.

I didn't make it very pretty, but it should work.
Often in ETL the transformation part becomes a goal of itself, in Nifi there are tools to transform data, but the Extract and Load parts work best, it has interfaces for quite a lot of different systems.

And maybe it's just me but everything I've seen being called ETL handled data in batches, in which case you really want support for scheduling, error handling and retries, which Nifi does not really have (there is a 'retry' function somewhere, but I found it confusing and it only seems to work for a single data item, not a good idea when you've got thousands of them). I much prefer Airflow for those scenarios.

You seem to have completely missed the point that there have been severe currency exchange controls in Venezuela for over a decade. These Venezuelans aren't trading Bolivars outside the country; they are exporting BTC mined with a mismanaged electrical grid to get food, toiletries, etc. imported into the country.

Yes, you can buy things with BTC.

> that's a symptom of a piss-poor government. No amount of magic beans will change that,

Did it solve their government problem? No. But it resulted in a little more food in the country then there would otherwise be by allowing citizens to subvert their government's financial controls. BTC provides a base level quality of money, that basically acts as an insurance system against the worst governments. Does it have a huge use case in a country with a healthy and functional financial system? No. But if things go to shit in a country, people can still use Bitcoin and safely transfer value online instead of reverting to trading gold coins in person.

I know you want all things BTC to be bad. But try to keep it intellectual, not emotional. What about the technology -- do you think it's fascinating that a relatively simple and elegant protocol of incentives and cryptography can result in a self sustaining financial system still running a decade after its release?
Firing up additional mining would split the rewards between more people causing fewer rewards per participant.

Miners engaged in mining before I arrived would have the same costs they had before, but now with fewer BTC to cover them, this would force them to sell at a higher price or operate at a loss until they drown the competition.

There are two ways to look at it.
That looks like a great stack!

Great idea! China gets all the credit for:

- Failing to contain it properly

- lying about its existence

- strong-arming the WHO

- invasively tracking location and activity of all citizens

- withholding PPE and ventilators from export to the US

Why implement the halving as a step function every 210k blocks instead of continuously reducing the block subsidy each block? An infrequent halving event that poses a bit of a shock to the cashflow of miners seems more risky, in that it will suddenly bankrupt a chunk of the miners with insufficient marginal profitability, rather than blurring out those bankruptcies over a larger window of time.

More concretely, rather than having the block subsidy = 50 >>= floor(height / halvings), it could simply be 50 / 2^(height / 610k).
I haven't used Nuxt, but I've used both Next and Gatsby a bit.

The biggest difference is that Gatsby is exclusively static, whereas Next can do static pages, server-rendered pages, or a hybrid of the two approaches.

Gatsby has a GraphQL-based data-fetching system, while Next is much less opinionated. Next gives you a place to do your data fetching, but doesn't dictate how you fetch it. Personally I find Gatsby's GraphQL stuff confusing, but YMMV.
Framing people as possibly being "net burden" on society presumes that "the market", and economics, perfectly encodes the value of an activity to society, and that taxes are omnipotently levied against the activity. Conmen (Enron; Bernie Madoff) and people who squander inherited wealth (trust-fund babies; Paris Hilton) arguably have a negative contribution to society, but pay plenty in taxes. Does their existence as high-value tax base truly outweigh a kind, loving person who had the misfortune to born poor, and not get the same opportunities in life as someone who's family donated a building to Harvard?

Capitalism is unable to recognize the value of lots of kinds of work (that is often done by women), especially when those performing the work aren't the kind to charge for it. Just because work is being given away for free doesn't mean it's worthless. Capitalism has some shortcomings and one of them is that it's unable to support certain business models that provide value to the world.

Wikipedia manages to exist on the largess of wealthy benefactors, and a ton of volunteer labor. Are those volunteers a "net burden" on society?
"The other side of the story here is that the pilot has spent the past six years completing a two year training course, and still hasn’t passed any of the tests necessary to become a pilot.

> Elon Musk is violating rules intended to keep people safe.

Blindly going along with rules just because they're intended to keep people safe whether or not they actually a benefit overall isn't exactly a strong indicator of independent thinking.

Musk is demonstrating real leadership here because he's putting not only his company, but also his personal freedom on the line. He's putting a huge amount of skin in the game and asking to share the fate of the people he's asked to help him. That takes guts --- far more guts than you see among the mewling leadership of most big tech companies.

You may not agree with what Musk is doing, but he's being direct, sincere, and bold, and yes, that's real leadership, and it's missing in most places.
I don't know your location, I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, YMMV, but: In most locales, a kickback like you are describing is illegal and can be reported to your state's real estate commission. If you believe that your agent is acting in bad faith, you should at least find a different agent if not report them.

In many cases, smart upgrades can yield significant returns. Not all agents who recommend upgrades are trying to con you, many are providing market-aware prudent advise to help you maximize your return.

As an agent, I think it is good that tech and other competitive forces are entering the field. That said, commissions often get pointed to as a "problem." Here's the deal: If you believe your house will sell within a range of say, +/- $20K, then the agent's job is to try to get you to the top of that range. 2% in my market, for an average house works out to about $6K. If I can get you an extra $10K+ that you wouldn't have gotten by FSBO or similar, that's where I'm adding value as an agent and that's why commissions exist.
Anyone have any news on if any major miners have said if they are going to be switching away from BTC for the time being?

As of 10 blocks past halving it doesn't look like total hash power has decreased much.

It'll certainly be interesting to see if mining power drops off in the coming month.

Long term I'd love to follow something that simply warns when there's enough rentable or assumed dark mining power that 51% attacks on bitcoin mainchain is a realistic threat.
No more than evidence of life forming on earth which is zero. I've thought about it semi professionally for long, and my bet would be on panspermia. Heck, my bet would be that all life in our galaxy is probably from the same origin; it seems fairly easy for at least some microbes to survive on rocks for really long periods of time, and my guess would be that once one form of life takes hold in a place other competing forms would probably get fully eliminated. Thus it stands to reason that panspermia is more probable. This is supported further by how quickly life seems to have appeared on earth the moment it was habitable (followed by how it took billions of years after that to evolve in any meaningful way).

I have a fairly mature financing operation from collateral I’ve grown over a decade and cash on hand, so I can move quick (48hr closing). I also make it worth the seller’s time with a shared equity model. I lock in my gain, they get a share of any upside in the future.

Well, there was that short lived issue where the Teensy 3.5 or 3.6 wouldn't boot right without an extra capacitor soldered on the reset line.

But it's also very encouraging that on the Teensy the issue was identified and a solution provided so quickly.

On the responsiveness note, I found a typo in the ESP32 datasheet and reported it to them through the forum. They responded very quickly and noted that it was indeed a typo (their chip as described didn't have a ground pin) and promised to fix it.

So on speed that's great. But their most recent datasheet had the same typo so...

Which would indicate to me that having a gravity well we can delve arbitrarly deep into has profound implications compared to gravity wells where it you go too deep you run into clouds or dirt.

For example the vessel could be paired, co-orbiting with a sacrificial mass that is dumped into the hole while the vessel leaves at at factor greater than a few hundred.

many multiples! this is incorrect. the luxury versions of those products you listed certainly have higher margins, but id be surpised if you could find anything with 100% proft margin, much less 3x and beyond.

How did you calculate your 0.1%? NYC is 8,340,000 people[1]. They report 14,753 confirmed deaths, plus 5,178 probable[2]. That's 0.24%. Excess deaths (above expected baseline mortality) are yet higher.

I don't believe a binary symptomatic/asymptomatic distinction is terribly useful. I agree that most cases that are tracked eventually report symptoms, just symptoms that are mild enough they wouldn't normally have sought medical care (in normal times, because they wouldn't bother; or now, because they're afraid to go to hospital). That seems entirely consistent with the serology studies.

You originally said:

> There are basically no (larger than a single building) places that can legitimately claim 5% or higher infection rates

I believe that's very, very false--NYC's official numbers are around 4x that already, and those imply an IFR consistent with (and even higher than) estimates like Verity's. To claim even 2% IFR seems borderline-irresponsibly high to me, let alone the >4% that implied.

If you post links to the studies you mentioned, I can take a look. I believe the Massachusetts one you mention is Chelsea, which indeed found a very high rate; but subjects were approached in a public place (thus oversampling people with higher-risk behavior), in a particularly hard-hit neighborhood. So I'd guess its results are correct for the people sampled, but not representative of the overall city.

Have you studied how the specificity of antibody tests is validated, like on blood banked before the emergence of the virus? Why don't you think that validation is adequate? I agree that the correctly-calculated confidence interval for something like the Santa Clara study is near-uselessly wide, but I don't see any reason to doubt serology from harder-hit areas.

I mean, nobody thinks he'll go to jail because nobody thinks Alameda County really believes what they're saying. If they really believed it - that factories aren't safe to operate right now, and Elon's greedily trying to open up before it becomes safe in a few weeks - they'd cart him off and issue a press release about how proud they were to do it.
Printing new money is generally understood to devalue existing money, why wouldn't the opposite be true? I don't understand your El Chapo point or know what sort of assets were confiscated. Even if it was all cash, I'm guessing it wasn't just incinerated.

the saddest thing, once you work in software is: at the majority of places people are not as smart and pragmatic, as they say they're or seem. so the software world keeps going in depressing circles e.g current state of docker, k8s, SPA's etc. maybe one day, someone will documented the amount of human hours wasted on these useless rewrites and reinventing the wheel etc.

As far as the purpose of a recipe, it still informs me of the ingredients and amounts so I can make a reasonable approximation. Say I want to cook chili, something that there seems to be innumerable recipes for. And say I want to add beans to mine, though my personal recipe doesn't normally include beans. So how many beans should I add? And what kind of beans should I add? Well if I check the top 5 recipes for chili with beans and see that 4 of them use kidney beans and that they tend to use 1 cup per pound of meat average, I can now modify my own recipe in a more informed fashion. This also works for cooking something when I don't know where to begin.

I haven't yet decided how I feel about this vs a full password manager (with unique passwords per site), but do kind of like the idea there's no account/vault: literally the entire usage is via a single password.

I have a suggestion to greatly increase usability:

Right now, as the owner points out, this relies on using a password starting with @@ to trigger this mechanism (which is a usability issue), and relying on the user entering their passwords into the web page (which is a phishing danger).

Given this already requires a browser extension, move the password to a UI within the extension, and instruct the user not to ever enter their password anywhere else (on why page directly). Use a button in the browser extension to trigger filling in the site-specific password. This avoids phishing the main password, avoids the @@-prefix requirement, and the extension could now also cache the password for some amount of time so the user doesn't need to re-enter it.

Interesting idea/project nonetheless.

Edit: oops, just noticed this is from 2009. I noticed lack of Chrome but not the ancient browser versions! Did this go anywhere?
No, it's not nonsense and you just kind of just proved the comment to which you are responding to.

Price is a function of supply and demand and because most markets are fairly competitive, the market-clearing price can be predicted roughly from the cost of production.

'Cars' do not sell at multiples they cost to produce, once you factor in all of the overhead of sales and distribution, margins are fairly thin. Those are 'real costs'.

Almost every single good ever produced is commoditized on some level, and therefore market prices are predictable from the cost of production.

BTC is no exception: if it costs $1 to make $2 in BTC, you can be sure a lot of people will be 'making' BTC until the cost of making BTC and it's market value start to merge.

The remaining demand for BTC ... given the fact it has no use, it's not a currency or a generally accepted store of value ... is speculative in the purest sense. It's whatever a bunch of dudes holding it want to buy and sell them as. Like baseball cards.

There are may reports of Steve Jobs being an asshole...

Silicon Valley in general is full of remarkable people and companies. And it can be both positive and negative. Elon Musk is definitely a smart guy, saying he is a genius is I think, not exaggerated. It doesn't mean he is perfect. In fact, just like Steve Jobs, I think he is an asshole.

Zuck gets a lot of flack because of his view on your privacy (you have none), but Facebook often comes off as a great company to work with. So if you are on the topic of how employees are treated, don't put Elon and Zuck in the same bag.

Another reason why the old silicon valley was better is that it now has matured. They are not just explorers, they are now in production phase, seeking a sustainable business model for billions of people. The unwashed masses now have access to computers and the internet, and it is a good thing. So naturally, we need different kinds of people, and they tend to be less sympathetic. Explorers are still there, but not as prominent, computing is a mature field now, and not all discoveries are breakthrough.
