> "trustlessly replicated to other Vapor nodes"

Instead of using central web servers, it is replaced with a network of Vapor nodes. I don't see this solving any problem. Just because HTTP requests have a Bitcoin signature, that does not solve any web-of-trust issues.

> record authenticated HTTP requests and replay them anywhere.

This is confusing, either identities cost real Bitcoin or you have a Sybil attack problem (numerous fake identities). If you need real Bitcoins, it requires lots of effort to use Vapor. As it is written, this is not going to work.
it just stopped being AI. night mode camera on recent android and iphones were top of the line AI couple years ago. DLSS (deep learning super sampling) is allegedly borderline magic; it'll just be DLSS sometime next year. google translate and alpha zero are most definitely amazing AI.

carbon nanotubes? yeah.
The end of this isn't quite right. The Postgres project started in 1986. I don't recall what language it used, QUEL perhaps, but it wasn't SQL. SQL support was added between 1994 and 1996, and that's when PostgreSQL was born.
8.5 years, whose interest was waning and he kind of wanted to be laid off. So I agree - good job. I've always wished companies would successfully identify those who no longer are thrilled with being there. I've seen too many layoffs where they let people go who wanted to stay, and keep people who wanted to leave.

The whole point of a decentralized web is to remove data hosting costs and eliminate central points of failure which are vulnerable to DDoS and censorship. PGP already lets you verify data is from a particular sender, and I don't want every website I visit to go on a public ledger.
Building a chording keyboard: progress so far (2013)
To nit-pick your analogy: is a Lamborghini really “engineered better” than a Corolla, in systems engineering terms? (I.e. the sort of terms a NASA program is budgeted in, when you have to consider the costs of potentially propping up your suppliers in the face of them collapsing, training your future employees to pass on institutional knowledge, etc.)

Or, to put that another way: is the total profit per Lamborghini sold really higher than the total profit per Corolla sold, after the CapEx and OpEx of any maintenance + spare-parts supply logistics + recall costs + training + supply contracts + etc. are taken into account? (I would assume, if it were, Lamborghini would have a higher market cap.)
Personally, I see my laptop as a tool, and I have a day job. I don't want to spend my precious spare time fixing my tools, which for something as basic and ubiquitous as a trackpad should just work already. For how many decades have trackpads existed? Why are we still shipping broken trackpad experiences, and why is it me, the end user, who is being told that if I don't fix it myself then I don't care enough?

In any case, a non-kernel developer fixing it in a day of coding is IMHO wildly unrealistic. While I have 20 years of programming experience, I have zero experience with kernel development--which some of the most complex software in existence--let alone input stack development. I don't even have the domain vocabulary to describe the problem. A lumberjack might know how to cut wood, but that doesn't automatically make him a carpenter.
> but I think if you teach the 'why of the equations' instead of just memorization of them - the memory would lock in with 'forced memorization'

I have a simple but great example of that: A decade of schooling and I could never remember the formula for volume of a sphere. And then, one day when I was bored at my part-time job, I pulled out a piece of paper and used what I'd just learned in calculus to derive it. It's stuck with me since, now that all the parts of the equation have meaning.
Of course.

But Oracle doesn't care one bit about anything else that's not Oracle.

Though it is still to be known how many reimplemented APIs from others does Oracle have in their products
Careful there. Source code to a program is also a fact; it's merely the proof of some statement in some theory. This is one way to view the Curry-Howard-Lambek isomorphism. So, then, what is it about source code which would make it copyrightable again? Are systems like Metamath and Opentheory eligible for copyright or not?

To me, the current copyright regime is what's "absurd" and "plainly ridiculous"; I am merely drawing conclusions based on what exists.
Ah, yes. Didn't think of that.
Also here: your example really shows the beneficial effects of this: the elite has to become extremely competent of the subject
And what about FFI?

Having an ability to feel superior - is a drug.

Ability to control other people's lives - is a drug.

And as usual the decades of "Americans jobs" crap. There are no American Jobs, as much as there are no NYC jobs or LA jobs. The employer doesn't own the job, only the power to be an intermediary.

Jobs are a function of market demand for products and services.

If tomorrow all of US territory became miraculously healthy and had no need for drugs - pharmacists' jobs would just disappear. No market - no jobs.
I don't think visual code blocks based systems are particularly efficient at space usage. Code blocks are dragged and dropped in from a panel of blocks, which I would think would work best on as large a screen as possible.
GP is suggesting removing the 85k H-1Bs annual cap but keeping all other requirements in place (with or without new wage standards).
EDIT: GP is also suggesting removal of the immediate deportation proceedings should someone lose their job in H-1B status. The status should follow the employee, not the employee/employer pair.

This wouldn't necessarily lead to a lot more immigration. It would lead to fewer people leaving who are already working for US companies on F-1 student visas in OPT status (they attended US institutions)

Allowing FB to decide whom to censor isn't ideal, but better than what we have at the moment. At least, if the public kicks up enough fuss over the egregious cases, FB might respond.

I think, left to FB's own devices, in a decade or two, it will transform the world into a dystopia of horrors beyond imagination.

My first choice isn't for FB to censor users, but to put it out of business, and investigate the fraud and negligence of its management.
innocent stuff like Tylenol

On a pedantic note, acetaminophen should not be considered innocent, but rather considered to be something very easy to get too much of because it’s in friggin’ everything. Cough syrup, Tylenol, many opioids that your doctor might prescribe. Read those labels, because if you take some Tylenol for those aches and pains and wash it down with some cough syrup for that cold, your liver might want to have a word with you.
I didn't try to post a review, but is there a way to edit reviews at a later time?

Not only it is essential for reviews that focus on durability but it should be actively encouraged. A review can easily go from "nice, solid-looking all-metal construction" to "the hinge just broke, upon closer inspection, it is actually quite flimsy and impossible to replace".
Scaler Programs – Scaler Academy, Edge, Plus – Fees, Reviews, Videos, Learning
A Journey that started with Scaler Academy, has grown to include two more, namely Edge and Plus catering to different set of learners.

While Scaler Academy bridges the gap between working professionals and industry need with a tried-and-tested curriculum and a flexible program, Scaler Edge is designed to give College students the edge they need to succeed in their careers. Taking things a notch higher is Scaler Plus, where coders with a few years of experience behind them are equipped for top tech leadership roles.
Yup.

What makes this even more of an underestimate is that the actual numbers that will be used are not point percentile but mean of a decile range. That is Level IV wage will be mean of [p90-p100] salaries.

The departments methodology in setting these levels is quite amusing for anyone with a basic grasp on stats.

There is still the OPT program though, which allows students to work for a few years on a student Visa. I agree though that this would certainly discourage many students.
Check out this video comparing the latest Toyota RAV4 Prime (Plugin Hybrid) and Tesla Model Y. The conclusion is that Toyota is a car manufacturing company learning to become a technology company, while Tesla is a technology company learning to become a car manufacturing company.

The uneven alignment at the gap between the roof frames in Tesla Model Y (shown at 10:20) though is quite unsettling to behold. Both of the presenters agreed that similar misalignment will never had passed Toyota QA.

Why is this being downvoted? A balanced plate may be easier to wash. Starch absorbs fat, some acidic liquid will keep the fat and starch from sticking too much. Get your plate to the dish washer, rinse, and without need none to little soap will get rid of all the residues. The fat is already stuck to other particles so won't need much soap. What's the point of teaching Chemistry if the kitchen always looks like a cumbersome time-consuming mess to most people.
This effect even exists within the same lab (been there, seen it). It's a horrible environment.

But, how do we deal with product model or component changes?

A couple examples:

"Earthquake" impact wrench from Harbor Freight. Purchased ten years ago, used a lot--for an amateur (maybe a couple thousand high torque automotive bolts, sunk some cement anchors). This product is currently sold by HF, but is much changed.

The site's example of Lodge cast iron. I cook on cast iron 90% of the time and my older lodge pan is much better than a newish one. The newer one has a more coarse surface, is strangely lighter.

I'm not aware of USB interfering with anything 2.4Ghz. If you're on 5Ghz I've not seen USB2/3 coex be a problem. Unless your dongle vendor did a bad job, USB dongles should be designed to minimize the impact of this interference because all they do is WiFi + USB (i.e. shouldn't matter if you are on 5 or 2.4). That being said, it's a simple thing to try so why not?

Does "flaky" here mean connection going in & out vs inconsistent & bad speed?

Assuming we're talking about speed rather than the connection itself, two walls can be a challenge if you're on 5ghz depending on the quality of your router & dongle. Do you have any old devices on your network? Your WiFi router will run at the speed of the slowest client. Can't recall if camping is a problem - I'm less clear about the details here, but it should be. If your 802.11AC dongle is on the same frequency as 802.11N, performance will be degraded off the bat so consider moving those devices onto a different frequency if you have a dual-band router (e.g. wireless printers or older wireless TVs can be causes).

If the connection itself is flaky, check if the RSSI is really bad. Anything >= -70 dBm is good & anything <= -80 dBm is pretty bad. Note the negative sign. -90 is worse than -80. If you're on 2.4Ghz you could also be having issues from poorly shielded electronics (e.g. old microwaves) or cordless phones.

Hope this helps!
> Honestly it would be nice to stop beating around the bush and declare your end goal: communism.

First, let’s agree on whether we both believe the problem with meritocracy, as it works currently, is real. If you don’t believe so, then there’s no sense in continuing.

Second, if the only solution you see is communism, don’t attribute the same outlook to me.

As far as I’m aware, if communist regimes so far are any indication, communism could only make the situation worse with blatant nepotism if nothing else.

What if, if a solution you can think of off the top of your head is horrible, all it means is that the problem is just not that easy to solve?
I've actually wondered why this isn't more common for people with big kitchens who do a lot of entertaining. While there's always some hand washing in any case, when I have people over, there is invariably a need to do a lot of it because I can only fit so much in the dishwasher.
It's the whole "Disney wants the copyright laws to prevent anyone from doing to Disney what Disney did to the Brothers Grimm" thing.
It could get the current time via NTP on startup. It complicates the startup sequence though.

Perhaps it's primarily for validating signatures from discs in an offline scenario.
I'm wondering if this could be related to how common Pomelo (柚子) is in China (and maybe some other Asian countries, not sure), which per the article has the same effect and is also consumed in sizeable quantities.
Maybe. I don't think I've ever seen a hanged TV in Europe or Japan.
"New potential customers," I guess. I'm familiar with onboarding as a term for what you do to new hires and was quite confused by this article until I figured out it's about marketing emails.

You're right. So to give you more insight, a Woleet signature proof uses timestamping to prove that the signature was actually generated BEFORE the timestamp date.

Note that the data being signed is made of the hash of the signed file concatenated with the hash of the signer identify (an X500 identity as entered by the signature requester and accepted by the signer).

Timestamping is also used in Woleet Sign to prove that the audit trail of a signature request (ie. the list of events of the signature workflows) was generated BEFORE a given date.
I'd honestly like a PIN for high value transactions, and the value of the transaction to be displayed on the card. The reason is that the terminal is untrusted hardware from my perspective, it would be easy for someone to sneak in a fake display for wrong values, or do PIN harvesting.
None of that even remotely matters. As soon as the Internet gets their hand on a physical PS5 and embargoes are gone you will see teardowns and 'controlled Sony messaging' won't help anyone.
Its prohibited for employers to provide benefits to H-1B at a lower level than other workers. Stock/bonus compensation counts in that category.

The first time I got an email from "Ivan" or the "Tom" from so and so company, I opened and read it. However, a couple lines in, I realized it was an automated email and it went straight to the trash. I don't understand how it helps make a better connection when you aren't really connecting with a real person.

Maybe I am getting old and I am not the target audience for these types of strategies but it really turns me off. I feel it takes away the value from actual email.
I don't know if that's true. At least it you wrote a story which is almost exactly like Harry Potter from scratch, without referencing the original and with none of the original characters, I don't believe this would be an issue under current copyright rules.
So... Let me get this straight...

Do you believe that H1B is not inherently abusive?

Do you believe that if US agrees that someone is useful, they shouldn't get residency immediately?

Do you think that indentured servitude is a reasonable tool?
So we are going to be able to easily customize face plates. Nice. That's how people will get their black option.
But their rich clients do.
These emails are minimally styled HTML emails rather than "plain text" (in the original email text/plain sense). If there are links using normal text (rather than just autolinked URLs) or a logo, it's HTML – so deliverability or privacy arguments based around being "plain text" don't entirely hold up.

Now, do I think there are accessibility and privacy benefits to be had by sending truly plain text email? Absolutely. No open trackers possible, no potential for HTML related vulnerabilities, no dangerous elements to filter..

Yep. Looking into their model in detail, whilst it has all the simplifications of a typical economic model designed for tractability and algebraic solutions (two good economy, four agents, tax officials have perfect information) , it also adds plenty of unusual assumptions like agents moving round a grid to find resources. Which as others point out might tell us a lot about how AI can optimise strategy games (more precisely that AI optimises for values in a strategy game better than simply using the Saez formula or US federal tax brackets), but very little about the relationship between debt, taxes and investment.
Most shoes made in England will last a lifetime with proper upkeep. Going rate is £400-500 a pair. They'll require new soles from time to time which will cost you £100-200 as well for professional refurbishment. Rubber soled boots will require a new heal every 1-2 years but if you keep on top of that the rest of the sole should last 4-5 years. Shoes will require new laces from time to time. You'll also need quality leather cream polish which you'll apply regularly.
It reminds me of the covid models, particularly the infamous Imperial model.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CovidSim

The question is whether it's useful to have a model at all, or whether it's better to just reason about it from first principles. If a basic simulation gave you a tool to explore emergent properties, perhaps some theories could be generalised to apply to real economies? Or maybe not, I don't know.

IIRC Judge Alsup (the original judge, and the only person in this whole shit-show who knows anything about programming) ruled against this, as he determined that there were only so many ways to write a range-checking function.

> I would be interesting to have a matrix of supported features on different platforms. And how deployment compares to Nginx, letsencrypt, git.

That would be useful, especially now that there are more and more options out there. I've seen benchmark comparisons but features would be more useful in my opinion, unless the speed is really poor.

Not to nitpick, and I dont know those boots in particular, but the wildfire hiking boots owned by myself and friends have glued soles and local cobbler has resoled at least a couple pairs.

Probably the first time this occurred to me was when I bought my first wireless headphones (bose qc35, FWIW). It hit me like a ton of bricks that I wasn't buying them, I was renting them:

* They will not last forever. Batteries die, wireless specifications change; some day I may buy a phone that uses GreenTooth instead of BlueTooth.

* In the event that I like this new (to me) product category (I had never owned noise-cancelling headphones before), I will always want to own such a thing, that does what this does, and is compatible with my device.

Because it has a limited lifespan, and the product may be something i want to continue to own for the rest of my foreseeable life, I am now signing up to pay a certain amount for life to own such a thing!

There is so much false facts in your comment.

Canada is not competing with the US on how many Canadian-started companies exist. All the FAANGs have offices in Canada, which they will probably expand more. Immigrants that used to head to the US will now go to Canada instead, enriching the labor market further. If the US immigration system remains broken, Canadian offices of US companies will just get bigger.
