For "collapse" to occur, the interaction of the quantum system must be with a classical system. A classical system being something big, noisy that can be well approximated by classical mechanics.

Simple interaction between two systems doesn't cause "collapse" it makes the two systems become entangled. Classical systems are a bit contagious in this sense, anything that gets entangled with them becomes classical.

To be a bit more precise, this distinction between classical and quantum is a bit our fault. Everything is quantum at a fundamental level, classical system is one for which we do have not have a precise knowledge of the state of the system, instead we have a coarse representation. This should make more obvious in which way "classicalness" is contagious. Since the knowledge of a part was coarse, the knowledge of the newly entangled system is also necessarily coarse.

> The Fed is only creating bank reserves, which does not create more money. Therefore, the Fed has not been printing money.

> When the Fed buys assets (government bonds, Fannies, etc.) from a bank, the bank gets back 'bank reserves', which are just a number in the bank's Federal Reserve account somewhere.

The money in my saving (or chequing) account is just a number in the bank's account somewhere, but it is still "money" that I have with them. Similarly the Federal Reserve is a bank account for the banks: so your bank (BoA, Chase, Wells Fargo, etc) has money at the Fed just like I have have money at (e.g.) Citibank.

Otherwise, your statement "the Feds buys assets" makes no sense: with what exactly does the Fed buy the assets if not money? "Money" in the modern economy is (1) a means of exchange, (2) a unit of account, and (3) a store of value. In this case we are using (1). Just because the "money" is in digital form does not change its essence.

> […] so swapping a US Treasury with cash is just turning one type of money into another; no net creation.

Can US Treasury bills be used for reserve calculation purposes? Because if they cannot, then the higher reserve accounts mean that banks would be able to create more loans (assuming they can find borrowers).

While reserve holdings and T-bills may have similar net values, each may be have restrictions on how they can be used in various circumstances, which could have knock-on effects.
THANK YOU.

I don't think I've commented here for years, but had to dig out the login credentials for this one.

I recently spent 20 minutes looking at TVs on Amazon because the NBA finals were happening and I figured it might make sense to finally get a TV. Every damn TV I saw either had Alexa built right the eff in or it was Alexa-or-some-such enabled.

It's frustrating. I'd like to have a "smart" TV because having Youtube, Hulu, Netflix or Spotify on it is fairly useful, but the divide between smart and dumb TVs is now too large, with nothing sensible in the middle.

I'd definitely pay extra for a privacy-oriented TV, but I fear that a handful of privacy nerds willing to pay 20% or even 50% premium is not enough to offset the economies of scale and make this a reasonable proposition for any PM at any existing TV manufacturer to bring up.
The only mistake I made with SEO was to do SEO in the first place. The way Google ranks pages makes today no sense. It is a waste of time doing SEO because above everything else, anyone who has more money will be higher and you can't change that. No matter how good content you have. I have more time to focus on what really matters when I ignored SEO and Google. At this point I don't care if it will index my website or not. It does not have any impact at all.
I'd throw in the "Virtual synchrony" set of protocols in the vein of Horus, Isis, VSync, and Derecho that are similar to Paxos, but older and take a slightly different view. I prefer them a bit from an ergonomic perspective. These formed the basis of the New York stock exchange, the Aegis Combat System, and the French air traffic control system, among other extremely highly available systems.

It appears the fantastic Virtual Synchrony wiki page has been unfortunately deleted, and simply replaced with a redirect to a couple sentences on the reliable multicast page (despite not relying on reliable multicast any more than Paxos does) so here's an archive.org capture of the wiki page. https://web.archive.org/web/20181231000827/https://en.wikipe...
"Robots and other artificially intelligent machines are often depicted as white. Search “robot” in Google Images and you’ll notice it immediately."

This is the most asinine thing I have ever read.

Search "industrial robot" and you will see that actual robots can be all kinds of colors. Though I speculate that the authors of this "study" will conclude that only laboring robots are not white and that also has some sinister meaning.

NASA and early space exploration give us low energy absorption and high space visibility white and everything utopian futuristic draws from that including Apple, Kubrick, Pixar and typical pop culture references.
People should get their calcium and PTH levels checked before taking larger doses of vitamine D as low vitamine D could be result of hyperparathyroidism. In this case vitamine D can kill you (and for sure will give you cognitive problems, brain fog and such).

Most doctors/endocrynologists is poorly trained to deal with that..

Belive me I have been there (had low vitamine D and high calcium due to thyroid cancer affecting parathyroid glands and had been prescribed vitamine D by incompetent endocrynologist) and this article helped a lot..

>>"Governments get the advantage of being able to inflate the money supply to the point were it prevents prices from falling, ensuring easier reelection at the price of the people paying more for things and effectively taxing savers. "

Governments have the fiscal capacity to keep the economy going. Is your theory that, for instance, the USA economy would be better without the government stimulus?

When the economy goes bananas, if it's not sustained by the government, not only will be suffering of a big part of the population but the destruction of physical capacity and knowledge in the economy.

This is not the 19th century, that idea that the economy on its own works perfectly should be debunked by now.
The one area where cables still win is speed. My 11 can be charged by 50% in seemingly about 20-30 minutes from a high output (i.e. iPad) charger.

Couldn't you create a "system" or other object and have it own the displays by encapsulation. Then ask it for a display when you need it.

If the display exists for the duration of a callback then I would think simply passing the display as a borrowed reference to the callback would enough.

And if you're gonna use C why not just use unsafe rust?
Shodan (or anyone else) can't really get an authoritative count of live IPv6 devices of any kind, because the address space is too big to scan using brute force.

They had (have?) a clever semi-workaround for this, by getting themselves into one or more of the public NTP pools, and then port-scanning any IPv6 address that queried their NTP service, but I wouldn't consider that count anything like definitive.

Regardless, it's still a huge problem for internal networks.

This is tagged on Wikipedia as socialism, but it most certainly is not.

This was a highly experimental social science management theory which in a way actually worked in practice. The field is still alive, albeit quirky. I was exposed to it when at a cutting edge management theory research conference about 5 years ago.

Today we absolutely do possess the technology which would make viable model possible. It is also likely that is would make managing a company much more efficient and competitive.

it depends on so many things that we probably dont fully understand though.

Each blood test I get i'm within range (pretty much right in the middle) for everything. I take zero supplements. I eat a variety of things over the course of the week, always somewhat balanced (i eat more veggies than the average american i'd say and perhaps way more fruits). I exercise, with a shirt on (lol). Sometimes for many hours, sometimes for 30min. Totals hours over the course of the week. I take zero supplements normally. I see these as an option or for specific cases rather than "the daily pill" (in fact, the "daily pill" things scare me a bit, I'd rather not rely on pills - the science don't seem clear enough and the things you can buy are definitely unclear)

Every now and then i crave specific things like orange juice (ie high vitamin C contents).

All that to say best way to know is probably to test, but also, if you go bike 20min shirtless every 3 days and walk 20min a day I assume you don't get nearly as much vitamin D as I do, so it kinda makes sense to me. But still depends on the person, how much sun, yada yada.

For any of these unlimited storage plans, there is a small set of user (<1%) who are massively unprofitable. On some level you can fire those users, but eventually they come back under a new guise. The easiest option is to eliminate these plans other than for larger corporations who tend to use storage more proportionately to their spend.

My first big win came as an intern, when I reduced the big O complexity of an algorithm written by a (very smart) statistician for our paper to O(n^2) instead of O(n^4). This was just driven by realizing that a couple data lookups in an inner loop were themselves O(n^2).

If I recall correctly, that raised the "feasible" value of K from about 4 to about 14 on the hardware at the time, which was more than enough for our purposes. I wanted to keep optimizing, but my boss correctly reminded me that shipping the paper was more important.
> I'm not gonna bet against the fed. Im not going to bet against politicians protecting retirement accounts and personal homes.

I'll take a punt. At some point inflation will take root, and when it does the fed will be in a bind.

Hell, the fed has already been digging away at pensions with their 40 year long put. Pensions funds struggle now to find a positive yield that meets their liabilities.

And homes will at some point come under attack. Perhaps only when everything else is gone, perhaps not. They're a sitting target.

Not so sure on PoE (great for technically inclined folks, not the general public, and if you're really set on PoE you could use a reverse injector to take power off the ethernet and break power/data out at the device) but it would be smashing if HomePods had WiFi mesh support (802.11k/v/r) and Apple used them to challenge Google Next Wifi and Amazon's Eero offerings (because the UX on Nest Wifi and Eero is so good, but I'd rather give my money to Apple).

Your grandpa could buy a new car for $1500. More like price went up 20x. Incomes have not kept up with this even if you can argue that a new car today is 10x as "valuable" as one built in the 60's. And, the people making the call on those gray areas have an incentive to adjust reported inflation downward.
Certainly it is. However maybe you'd agree that an ERP, although real time, does not seek to understand the triggers of new "transactions" (SAP language/ancient ERP language).

Given that mortar is semi-solid, there's no way you could ever reliably get the same thickness of mortar without an external reference.

Older tall chimneys are often visibly crooked in parts. I'm no chimney builder, but it's easy to imagine it being difficult to get the alignment perfect when you're trying to make an angled structure, high up in the air, using primitive tools. (remember that tall chimneys are narrower at the top than the bottom to save money, so you can't directly compare it to a vertical plumb-bob line: you have to offset each layer slightly from vertical)

Equally, once the error builds up to the point where you can see it from the ground, getting the rest of the chimney back to true would be easy: just lay the next layers of bricks slightly offset until it looks right again. Results in an slightly ugly looking chimney. But a lot cheaper and faster than demolishing the crooked bit and starting over.

I requested an export of my data from Google this weekend. They will lose my precious data.

And I recently had a bug with the transition from Google play music to YouTube Music. It seems I lost my premium membership, I'm not sure I'll re-buy these services.

Reading people's take on tech stocks long is laughable. In 1 year I have reduced my google usage in half, email and search only.

Anyone who believes in science can't possibly take these allegations seriously.

It's beyond trivial to use proxies and malware to make it appear like your "call is coming from inside the house". It's beyond trivial to use more than one proxy, and/or Tor, where the overall mosaic and path will not be possible to assemble.

It is so trivial that it's often the plot of every movie or TV show on the subject. When Putin was asked this question once, that was actually his reply as well -- that "our hackers" can change their IP address easily, and all the evidence anyone may have on IP addresses is basically worthless. Yet we still let the politicians trick us into believing their intelligence services have any sort of irrefutable evidence of something that's often impossible to determine outside of using secondary factors that would often not be available in these cases that involve international borders?

---

Put it another way: for anyone to believe in these stories, you have to admit two directly contradicting assertions, (1), that the protection of these government systems was so good that only the best hackers of a single nation-state could have breached it, and, (2), that these best hackers of a single nation-state are so sloppy in their job that they never manage to hide their steps and shift any possible blame away from themselves.

In other words, I find it really hard to believe that these systems are properly secured, and if they are, I find it really hard to believe that people who could break them are so sloppy that they can't hide their true tracks.

I wish this article had a bit more systematic approach. I've been recently looking into consensus protocols, and there are at least two dimensions to consider: permissioned (participants are known in advance) vs permissionless (anyone can join), and partially synchronous (some guarantees about message delivery time) vs asynchronous (only the delivery is guaranteed, the time can be at any point in the future). There are also some recent developments loosely based on Ben-Or protocol (HoneyBadgerBFT, HashGraph) that look a lot more promising than blockchain-based consensus.
Recommendations/guidelines can take a long time (years, decades even) to change, especially if they've been long-standing. FWIW, the Endocrine Society has been raising its recommendations for years now:

Holick, Michael F., Neil C. Binkley, Heike A. Bischoff-Ferrari, Catherine M. Gordon, David A. Hanley, Robert P. Heaney, M. Hassan Murad, and Connie M. Weaver. “Evaluation, Treatment, and Prevention of Vitamin D Deficiency: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline.” The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 96, no. 7 (July 1, 2011): 1911–30. https://doi.org/10.1210/jc.2011-0385.

I've probably posted this exact reference before but there's research going back decades showing that without sun exposure, almost everyone will be Vitamin D deficient:

"CONCLUSIONS: Healthy men seem to use 3000-5000 IU cholecalciferol/d, apparently meeting > 80% of their winter cholecalciferol need with cutaneously synthesized accumulations from solar sources during the preceding summer months. Current recommended vitamin D inputs are inadequate to maintain serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol concentration in the absence of substantial cutaneous production of vitamin D."

Janet Barger-Lux. “Human Serum 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol Response to Extended Oral Dosing with Cholecalciferol.” The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 77, no. 1 (January 2003): 204–10. https://doi.org/10.1093/ajcn/77.1.204.

Recommending sun exposure has been somewhat anathema, but I think more and more people are finally coming around that humans are evolved to need a lot more sunlight than most of us are getting...

Project Cybersyn itself is not, but it was developed under Allende's administration, whose policy was called La vía chilena al socialismo (The Chilean Way to Socialism).
Most brutal dictators ever? that is a very egregious mischaracterization.

Not because Pinochet was not brutal, of course he was... he killed 3,000 people in brutal ways for 17 years. Sure... But add 2 zeroes to that death count and multiply the regime length by 3 and you get Fidel Castro.

The Chilean armed forces (navy, army, air force, police) intervened when they saw an imminent civil war, combined with a likely Argentinean invasion.

That would be effectively the end of Chile.

And Allende's regime was very far from suceeding. He had inspiring speeches but in practice he was a failure as a leader. Allende was a demagogue on the KGB's payroll with drinking issues, his administration was undistinguishable from anarchy.
Yoast does things like automatically set up redirects if you change pages, but that may or may not be what you need.
