Many of these transactions are not using ETH the currency, just Ethereum the network. Ethereum has many tokens such as stablecoins (USD pegged tokens), governance tokens (capital assets), synthetic assets, even wrapped versions of Bitcoin.

Ethereum is still a "world computer", but it's a world computer for high-value transactions, which are generally financial.
That’s not a policy that can easily be changed. It’s a fundamental restriction of the entire system. There is no side loading on iOS devices unless you use a developer account. And that’s not going to change.

A lot of the people here clamoring for permanent Daylight Time get to set their own hours and often wake up at 10am. But is a less powerful socioeconomic class that has to wake up at 3am to take two hours of public transit to open a coffeeshop at 6 before we get there. They don't have much political power but they need to be considered in this decision.
At my previous job we were discussing this, I think because it was up for a vote in California. My friend's argument was that children would be walking to school in the dark and more would end up getting hit by cars. It was really funny to me that we won't consider that our school schedules are stupid, or that our driving requirements or vehicles are somehow inadequate, but no, in fact it is time that is wrong.
It’s consistent, and the reasoning is clear. Of course a steak is salad. Love it.

Apple's app store is the store, not a mall, 100% build, owned and operated by Apple. Developers are goods suppliers, like milk to Wallmart. Want a better deal? Build your own store or sell elsewhere. You cannot expect Wallmart stocking your empty milk bottles for free with a printed message "now you can buy milk on milk.com"

I am glad Apple is actually managing and moderating their store as opposed to the ocean of fraudulent crapware on Google Play and to an even more extreme extend the Windows Store...

I have never had a single person complain about what they can't run on an iOS device. The apps that aren't availabe are either crapware or if they are useful they only matter to 0.00025% of users who can gladly go get an Android instead.
It’s literally easier to shift time than it is to convince management at (insert corporation) to do anything at a more reasonable time.
Similarly, I am in St Petersburg Russia, and white nights, while taking a little to get used to, are very pretty. You have to make a major adjustment though in the form of heavy window drapes ).

But since I moved to Russia, I have thoroughly enjoyed no DST, it really is a headache for a lot of things and it's more annoying to work with our colleagues in the US and EU who do respect DST as we have to add just that much more planning. DST is an artifact we don't need anymore.
That's actually a couple of interesting ideas. I don't think however that 1) is completely correct? As far as I remember from my classes, RAMs are refreshed all the time on very small time scales exactly because they're volatile. Therefore a manual read shouldn't influence things.

Personally, I think that the concept of monopoly must be reevaluated in the context of the digital age we live in.

That’s not what the document actually says though. It says Epic games has filed a case with 10 claims, some of which are categorised as antitrust but none of which actually state the term “monopoly” (remember antitrust rules doesn’t just apply to monopolies). And again, it’s worth remembering that document demonstrates that even those antitrust claims weren’t well received by the judge.

Unless you can find another court document that does specifically mention the individual claims and states the word “monopoly”? The only references I can find is tabloid-level journalism covering the story (ie using vague summaries with common language rather than legal jargon accurately). If you can I’ll happily accept that the “monopoly” point is at least currently under legal dispute. But I can’t find any evidence to support that claim.
This is one of those ideas where I immediately go "Why didn't anyone think of this before?"

> Historically, the position of the censor has always been as the governmental authority

This is just plain false. The dictionary definition [1] disagress with you, Wikipedia explicitly mentions private private organisations [2]. Religion institutions have censored a lot of things in the past [3]. If what you said were true, government censorship would not be a phrase people used as it would be a pleonasm.

> As the owner of private property if someone were to graffiti my walls without permission

This is a false equivalence. You're not allowing anyone to paint on your walls, so it's not a place where expression is allowed. Censorships is selectively suppressing expression.

If you would open your walls for public painting, and then remove a few of them you don't like, you're indeed censoring those artists. That doesn't mean it wrong/illegal, it's just the definition of censorship.

My friends in Argentina would disagree

Blockchains (Ethereum specifically), cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance have allowed them to exit their broken financial system and survive hyperinflation.

They all get paid in stablecoins across borders, self-secure their funds using smart wallets like Argent or Gnosis, and earn good interest rates using lending protocols.

I think many of us forget how broken the financial system are outside of western developed countries.

Why can't localities just shift the time work and school starts. Some jobs suit different hours, not everyone works 9-5 anyway, many people work shifts and manage to deal with a varied timetable. This is not rocket science. You do not have to work the same hours as everyone else.

Adjusting clocks by an hour is an absurd workaround that doesn't even suit everyone and causes no end of problems and confusion, it's well past time it was abolished worldwide,
The issue with the GPL is not the limitations Apple put in place on their platform, but the additional terms required for distribution in the App Store. This is the reason cited by Adium[1] and VLC[2] developers when their projects were removed for GPL violations.

If it is possible, it's possible in the sense that it's possible to approach lightspeed with a chemical rocket. The predominant method in modern neuroscience for recording from a large number of cells is fluorescent microscopy with genetically encoded fluorescent sensors. Whole brain imaging is now routine (at least for drosophila, and albeit probably not at cellular resolution), afaik ephys tops out at 1000s of cells.

Gotta keep in mind that there are already several extant well-funded and highly motivated organizations devoted to studying the brain... and they're not doing whole-brain ephys.. they're doing advanced fluorescent microscopy
Ok, but we have to remember that not all 80-year-olds have the same outlook on life.

Some people remain very active and ambitious well in to advanced age, as long as their body and mind can hold out, which is something that will differ from person to person.

Here's a telling example: [1] In his 60's, Robert Owens was running marathons and undergoing Navy SEAL tests that would regularly crush 18-year-olds, and everyone he knew was trying to dissuade him from because they thought it would kill him. He still did it, and though he wasn't quite 80 at the time of the video and his body was starting to give out, he was insanely ambitious and accomplished at an advanced age, well past the point where most people would have thrown in the towel.

I've seen artists who are very active in to their 90's, and have heard of people running marathons in their 90's. On the other end of the spectrum, the rate of suicide, depression, and loneliness among the elderly is very high. That's not to mention the devastation of dementia and other mental and physical afflictions.

People deal with aging very differently depending on their body, mind, socio-economic circumstances, support networks, how they were brought up and their outlook on life, all of which vary greatly.

This wikipedia section describes the idea better than I can: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unbearable_Lightness_of_Be...

My personal takeaway is that, horrifying or not, you cannot escape life, whether by hiding from the world or suicide, you must embrace it, because you will always live your life and there is nothing else. Further, questions of free will aside, you should live the life you would want to live again and again. Let the weight be your guide.

I think the alluring plausibility of eternal return helps sell the idea, but it's best to simply use the idea as a way to think about your attitude toward life, and not be too concerned whether it is a physical reality or not. I subscribe to pragmatism above all else.
I don't think we did. The European Commission held a non-representative (e.g. Germans were overrepresented) poll that said people prefer abolishing it.

Which is fine: not every decision needs to be voted on. But we shouldn't fool ourselves that it was a democratic process either.
Hey sure. So everybody is different right, here is my experience.

On a normal day to day basis, my brain feels like it needs something. When I crack a beer, I feel better, funnier, happier, relaxed. My brain is getting something that it needs. So I crack another one. Pretty sure I'm drunk. It doesn't matter. I feel great. I'll pay for it in the morning but I'm living now. I can chug a beer in 5 seconds, it's a thirst but the thirst isn't for liquid it's for alcohol. The taste is so refreshing and quenches something deep inside, but it's never enough. I also like margaritas, ice cold ones with fresh tequila and lime juice. It hits the spot and gives me what I need. For the longest time I though it was just the deliciousness of the beer or the margarita, until I tried alcohol free alternatives. Totally different. It's the alcohol. This is the way that I'm wired.

Don't get me started on weed. I am a weed junkie. Give me one puff and I'm derailed for 2 weeks smoking myself into a stupor.

All these desires stopped when I found the right treatment for my ADHD, which is methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is the least harmful and most benign, beneficial drug for me. Less side effects and more effective than any other ADHD drugs. It removes all my addictions. Unfortunately I am treated like a criminal for taking this drug as prescribed here in the USA and am view with suspicion by everybody in healthcare. Quite ridiculus, because if I wanted to abuse it I would pay $50 on the street instead of $1000 out of pocket for the same amount in a nice prescription bottle. Using this platform to say our drug war is a complete failure and to legalize all drugs to help people.
This isn't far from what immunotherapy is doing. Cancer can only thrive when it avoids an immune response, either by looking sufficiently like a healthy cell to remain below the radar or actively suppressing actions of the immune system.

Immunotherapy looks for ways to counteract this 'feature' and allow the immune system to do its job and murder the bastards.

We're still effectively in the early days of this approach to treating cancer and results are mixed, but it shows incredible promise and I feel that it ultimately will be the way we beat most if not all cancers.

This is true of basically any major healthcare play. On the (at this point extremely) off chance that we move to single payer, for instance, insurance companies face an existential crisis. On the off chance that we fix prescription drug price gouging and absurdly inconsistent pricing and all of these problems that GoodRx solves for patients simply by _cutting them in on the scam a bit_, then GoodRx faces an existential crisis.

The fact that there are 5 middle men is... more of a moat in this case? They've solved a complex, intractable problem profitably. Does this mean they're a 20-year company? Eh, not without some significant additional revenue streams or pivots into different areas, and to that point I agree with you about their vulnerability. But for the next 10 years? These are good margins building a business that only incrementally reduces the fucking over of the consumer.
> And this difference is what's being referred to as induced demand in the context transportation policy.

No it isn't. The theory is used for the proposition that you can't satisfy the whole demand because adding capacity creates more demand. But that's plainly false. Even at a very low price there isn't unlimited demand, so there is an amount of capacity that can satisfy the demand.

Moreover, fuel taxes do actually pay for a large fraction of road costs, generally something like half. That means you get more demand than you would with a pro rata allocation, but that's what you want, because an even larger portion of the road cost is fixed cost, and charging more than incremental cost results in inefficient resource utilization. You paid for the road, it's not at full capacity and yet you're discouraging productive use of it.
That sounds nice in theory, but only works if you can (reliably) detect the cause of a crash. This is one of those things that sound much easier than it actually is.

Assuming it's is legal where you are, have you tried cannabis? No hangover like alcohol, small doses won't make you feel intoxicated, sleep is easier to achieve and the quality is great. It doesn't help everyone, but it's worth a shot if you haven't tried it. Depending on where you live, you may be able to order it online and have it delivered like anything else. I like edible gummies. Take 30-60 minutes before you want to sleep, easy to take, easy to divide into smaller doses, no smell.
> I respect your personal experience, but you are coming on a little strong in terms of assuming everyone is just like yourself.

This was actually a significant point of contention between myself and my advisor, who interpreted my working late at the lab as though I was trying to cram extra time to make up for not being there otherwise, or something. Those are just my most productive hours ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but to him I was lazy and irresponsible.

My natural sleep period seems to be around 9 hours. I can make myself do 7 (I currently keep a ~1:30am-9am schedule, with some effort), but anything less has noticeable effects on my cognitive state, and I still start getting tired again around 5pm. If I do sleep at 5pm, I'll wake somewhere between 11pm and 2am, which is bad but in the other direction. So I have to fight through the late-afternoon slump. It's very easy to knock me off of this schedule, and I've been keeping it for two years since I left grad school.

Sleep disorders are real, and they are not simply symptoms of a poor work ethic.

That's because the existing demand is highly under-satisfied, as evidenced by the existing traffic congestion. In theory you could actually satisfy all of it by building a thirty lane triple-decker highway and it would work. Of course, that's still stupid, because what you should do is build a normal highway (e.g. add a lane or two) to absorb some of the demand, and absorb more of it in other ways, as with mass transit or increasing zoning density so that people can live closer to their destination.
