It's very real and very much already exists. I've met a few biochemists who are manufacturing it in the Denver, Colorado area and it absolutely blows my mind that we are not growing thousands of acres of industrial hemp for both controlling CO2 and for all it's bioplastic, wood, and material products it can be making. Stop growing cotton. Stop using crude oil based plastics, and all products of the plant can be used in extracts for foods, oils, and stalk/pithe/flour can be made into paper products and hempcrete.
One interesting part is that, when the authorities lose the people’s trust, people can’t rely on what they say to be accurate and you end up second guessing everything they say or do. It’s actually an important Chinese (Confucian/daoist-sometimes) idea to emphasize the importance of legitimacy and that the working of society is relies on it

I didn't call them a mob - try reading what I said again. Also the length of your argument repeating the same (wrong) thing doesn't strengthen it either.

Many people's reading comprehension in this thread suits the arguments they want to make, setting up straw man arguments seemingly without realizing it.

Because email alone is vulnerable, without two-factor authentication. And keys are a great second factor, except for the risk of losing them. Phone numbers are commonly used, but that's more PII to share, and it can be bypassed. Also, with something like Keybase or Keyoxide, you can still use multiple email addresses.
At first I thought it was just a research project or something, but no, they really implemented it in production.

Quite a bit of difference from other plants. Hemp grows a very large woody stalk and can grow 6+ feet tall and resemble a small Christmas tree-sized pine tree in one season. Cannabis produces oils/sap much like a pine tree and these oils are super conducive to polymers. Soybeans do not, are tiny, and don't suck CO2 from the air like an air purifier.

Literally everyone has humongous caches. In fact Intel cache architectures are far larger and more elaborate than anything on an Apple chip.

File systems. It may seem obvious, but I'm not sure how clearly we associate them with the originals.

We take the file systems of Windows and *nix etc for granted, but they are essentially computerised versions of the physical classification systems that go back as far as humans have wanted to categorise things and put them in related boxes and particular orders.

I feel like that's cheating though, as by the same mapping process we get

> Sleep problems are largely caused by anxiety, once treated it gives way to solid sleep.

Surely you mean anxiety disorders, not anxiety itself. Anxiety is a part of healthy human psyche. In that, having anxiety in response to improper schedule/environment/diet is a sign of health and changing those would be the primary way to "treat" it.

By the same token, only taking pills or going to therapy while schedule/environment/diet stay bad is not treating it, even if the symptoms could go away for a while. It is just delaying the problem for a greater future crisis. Plus no doctor/therapist worth their salt would say "let's ignore the context of your unsustainably taxing life, instead take these stop-gap solutions to make you sleep for now".

I used to have a lot of problems falling and staying asleep. The best thing for me was implementing a no caffeine after 10am rule - caffeine's half-life in you body is about 5 hours so if you have a cup of coffee at lunch time (12pm) you'll still have a quarter cup sloshing around inside you a 10pm when you should be starting to get ready to sleep. (Adjust times as to your preferred schedule - but as I have kids demanding food waking me earlier than I'd like every day so I need to be at least semi functional from 6am so working backwards I need to be asleep by about 11ish each night).
To respond to your first 4 questions:

Q1: Yes and No. From what I've seen (anecdata) an group of people working together ten to generate better ideas than one person could. The No comes from the fact that oftentimes one person came up an idea that they wouldn't have found without the other people.

Q2: Much better. Normally through 2 ways: first, defense of an idea make you have to improve it so that it gets accepted. second if the idea is collaborated upon the multiple feedbacks on forming the idea improves it.

Q3: My first knee jerk reaction to this question was that you need to limit the amount of people involved because communication is key: say 6-9 people. But on further thought, if your communications channels are set up well (forums, slack, IRC etc.), then you can go to the wisdom of the crowds, so maybe scale would work.

Q4: If the R&D lab is set up right, yes, you could get fundamentally better ideas, for various reasons: - facilities, collab, standing on the shoulders of giants (by this I mean building on what others have already built) etc.

I think you could make an argument that although not invented, programming language design has slowed quite a lot.

Perhaps nanotechnology? It’s a bit older though.

That's the way induction works.

Deduce that it then must be true for n+1
Prove it for n=1
Now it's proven for every n
I started out asking an honest question, and afterward offered factual information, not my personal opinion.

Even if I had seen the video i'd be very leery of making a legal judgement about murder. I'm very sure those guys shouldn't be police, and at the very least they made a mistake that cost a person his life.

I was trying not to get embroiled in a discussion about how the legal case will turn out while still offering some factual information. It simply did not take weeks of protest to ensure that these cops would not be back on the street after some desk work.
In the video linked above, Robert Miles models organizational idea-generation as something like "everyone thinks of their best idea, and then we just pick the best from that set". That's definitely a simplification. I do think there's some notion of "synergy", where people working together can hammer an idea into shape more effectively than either could alone.

However, I suspect that there's also a counter-force, a "diminishing returns" effect: as more people get involved in an organization, coordination becomes more difficult, communication becomes more expensive. If this converges to some limit, then that's the smartest a human organization can be.

Maybe better methods of organizing knowledge could help raise that limit, or more effective modes of communication, but my suspicion is that the upper bound for "organizational decision making capability" is within one or two orders of magnitude of a single person, not vastly more. No idea how we'd actually quantify that, of course!
You might want to read the section "A Brief Review of the Principle of Induction".
Expense is related to chip size.

Apple isn’t going to release chips that benchmark slower than the Intel equivalents. To sell the transition they’ll need to say something simple like “2X faster” on the big screen. So I expect to see 8+ core chips as standard even if they don’t need that many to deliver a good product.

The question is whether such a chip would be cheaper for Apple.

This might be an unpopular opinion (from what I know living in the silicon valley) but I think the solution to homelessness and crime is to get rid of all homeless people from the bay area by providing them with infrastructure jobs. The bay area is one of the dirties places I've been to and it is getting worse. People throwing trash everywhere. May be the government can collect taxes from a 3 trillion dollar neighborhood that is the bay area and provide these people with a means to a job - ignore criminal history, give them a pass, provide mental health services, get them up and running. Or even in may be in rural places where they can do farming, build and maintain state roads, work at national parks, help maintain the coastline and can even join the military for assistance.

Just having them linger around on food stamps and sinking lower day by day, some even committing crime and get hooked on heroine, we need to do something that provides them jobs and increases the well being of the area. There is usually a strong pushback from liberal/progressives around this topic - which makes no sense to me. I am not some kind of an asshole with guns from Alabama killing off the poor, atleast that's what the bay area thinks of me. I want to improve our communities and giving these people blanket assistance to camp out in tents is a horrible idea.

Tell me why we can't afford it? Have you guys been to Tokyo and Singapore? They don't have the giants like FAANG and a whole bunch of semiconductor companies and yet they can keep their cities spotless and extremely safe.

Please take a look at the principle of induction that is explained on that page.

In short: You fix k and assume that S(k) holds. If you can show that this always implies that S(k+1) holds, all you need is a base case (e.g. S(1) being true) to "recursively" prove that S(n) holds for all n >= 1 (or whatever your base case was).

Here the fault is that the induction step (proving S(k+1) from S(k)) requires k >= 2 but only specifically S(1) was proven.
>The US already lost the DRAM industry, the disk industry, the display panel industry, most of the small component industry, and the consumer electronics industry. In ten years, the US won't be able to make electronics in volume.

That's how old empires fall and get replaced by new - and this while everybody in the old remains complacent...

Most of this is out of greed - the corporations got bigger margins if they outsourced production. And the public could short term buy more for less - to the detriment of the local working class, and ultimately, the middle class. And domestic stuff like rent, health, education, etc, would remain expensive.

First you lose the factory jobs, then the factories, then the readily available infrastructure to build one soon as you need it, then the investments to new technology, and ultimately, even the know-how (and meanwhile, lots of patents also go elsewhere, to your subcontractors).
Digital signatures absolutely do need to chain to a trusted root (also, I forgot to mention that the certificate also has to have the "digital signature" EKU).

Drinking Alone – Real Solidarity Is Harder Than It Looks
Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply (especially @pdfernhout). There is a lot of food for thought here. You are right that it is many life experiences which has shaped my wife into the person she is now, and I am partly to blame.

We had a long chat about this today because I was losing my mind and I couldn't just take it any more. It got a bit heated sometimes but we are determined to resolve this. I'm having to face up to my own role in making her the person she is so that is hard.

But what we both realise is that we are both good people, but perhaps misguided. As life progresses, there seem to be more and more things which I regret and it is a constant battle to stay positive and look forward to the next day.

I was very ambitious when I was young. My wife allowed her career to take a backseat so she could look after the kids. I think I was so immersed in my career and trying to provide for my family that I neglected to see the stress she was under raising two kids largely by herself. I mistakenly thought that if I worked hard to provide financial security for my family it would matter a lot. I now realise that was not enough. My career has been okay-ish so far but not exactly the kind of resounding success I had dreamt of. I'm beginning to think that ambition is a curse as it is all consuming. And I also feel bad that I don't have a lot to show for all the time I spent working.

My parents weren't exactly great role models for a happy marriage. I somehow, very naively, assumed that a marriage would work if both partners had the best of intentions. Today has been exhausting but I still have hope that we will work this out.

I do believe the whole family will be better of "with" and I just need to find a way to make it work.
>I'm no cheerleader for Intel but if Intel really wanted to they could release competitive ARM offerings. They've got enough money they could just buy an existing ARM developer and then produce those chips in their fabs.

The problem is that Intel no longer has the leading state of the art fabs. They used to be two generations ahead of everyone else, and now they're two behind. The inertia of x86 has kept them afloat, but the longer Intel fabs lag the more ground ARM has been able to make up.

Intel fabbing ARM parts isn't going to do them much good unless they also manage to get their process shrink delays worked out and behind them.
The runs stopped when FDR suspended exchanging dollars for gold. Once people realized that the official exchange rate was a 50% off on gold sale, there was no stopping the rush to exchange.
I don’t really buy this. Apple, in general, seems to be shockingly bad at software. They have a design aesthetic, they’re pretty good at ideas, and they are able to execute. They accumulate plenty of technical debt, though, and they are bad at maintaining their software portfolio.

Intel throws a lot of money at software, much of it open source, and this has played out fairly well for them. AMD is far, far behind in this regard.

I fully expect a cutting edge implementation of macOS on ARM, and I fully expect it to languish post release.

We use HAproxy for similar reasons you describe if I’m understanding correctly.

As one of the other posts kinda suggested you can get a ton done with a few hours, it might be worth just standing up a box real quick and trying it out. As a note when we try stuff like this we put behind a AWS LB so we can push partial traffic to our experiment and aren’t betting the farm whilst testing in prod.

Good luck!
