I'd even argue that the juggernaut BTC was _designed_ to be trackable, and as the recent history shows, law enforcement successfully and multiple times did exactly that when needed - tracked, identified and penalized bad actors.

Nobody's paying for Snap either. The only reason they are (somewhat) alive is because advertisers still think burning money on annoying people is worth it based on inflated or misleading metrics. Once the adtech bubble pops they'll be down the toilet as well.

This. The strength of modern civilization is the ability to abstract. This means that you can let Joe deal with the frobnicator and Jane design with the fritzer and you just need to trust them enough that you can plug the two together and it works.

Joe and Jane don't need to understand what you are doing, and you don't need to understand what they are doing. Of course partial understanding, especially for related technology is helpful, but the farther away you get the less you know, and the more you need to rely on others.

Music is like anything else in that it requires practice. At 8 years old, there's really not much learned practice in music really occurring unless you're in family like the Von Trapps. Even listening to kids sing Happy Birthday or The Wheels On The Bus can be quite interesting in how far off the "notes" are. Kids are just mimicking the words. Even the tempo is not of concern. Unless you get some sort of musical training through choir or band or something, you might not ever learn about flat/sharp and how to correct to match the person next to you or more likely the radio.
I feel somewhat more that I'm a customer of Microsoft's and that they've demonstrated (through their shift to open source, through their "Windows Services for Linux") that they're more user oriented.

Google has a long-standing history of pretty much ignoring any and all user feedback; and I don't feel that I'm a customer of theirs, but a data-point to be fed to the advertising agencies who are their actual customers.

From a privacy viewpoint, both are horrendous. But since I'm already an office 365 subscriber, and because of the other reasons I mentioned, I'd give a few more points to Microsoft.

I have shared edge history enabled, but may eventually turn it off or even switch back to firefox. I havent' decided.

Between the Snowden revelations, Google and Facebook I pretty much feel that the privacy ship has sailed.
If by "core" - you mean to exclude the mantle, then yes, we don't know exactly how much radiogenic [1] heat generation there is. But if we are using the term "core" loosely here to refer to everything under the crust, then a very significant fraction of the heat is generated via radioactive decay.

I was in a similar situation as you. I completed a BA in Econ then ended up working in tech. I wanted to move into a full-time development role, so I made the decision to go back to school full-time for my BS in CompSci.

I'm happy that I made the decision that I did, but I had already been pretty heavy into self-learning for years before going back to school. I could see both approaches working, but I felt more comfortable getting my foot in the door as a developer with the degree.

Working full-time while working towards your CompSci degree sounds rough! I didn't even try it.

Not sure how helpful that is for you, but I wish you the best of luck.

> a car that cost $6500 used

That's the smart financial decision. The math works better when buying used. By that same math, I had a '97 Suburban with a 5.7l V8 that cost me less to own and operate than a new Prius, but only because I bought it used.

If I buy a new car, though, it's going to be a BEV. The driving experience and cost savings are more than incremental.

It's rev-share vs pay upfront with financing right?

A telco could never be overburdened by the rev-share in the same way as a upfront payment. If the rev share is too high so using the spectrum isn't economical, the telco could simply not build out (and probably lose their license, which is OK for them, it wasn't economical). If the prepaid price was too high, they still have to pay it from spectrum activities and other activities; but they probably can't sell the spectrum to retire the debt, because the price was too high.
It's not even guaranteed to _be_ of high quality, is the thing. The same arguments play out all over CS: monolith vs microservices, distributed vs. centralized. Pick a poison and do it well - there's no 100% argument that says one side is absolutely better than the other here.

Usually when you tune an instrument you have a simultaneous reference, you don't have to remember the reference. Especially with a guitar, you tune a string against another string at the same time. It is easy (for me) to tune away small differences because the beat frequency is audible.

On this test I could not determine the 1/64th differences, I guessed those but I got all the 1/32nd and bigger intervals easily. I have a feeling that off-by-1/64th would be easy to hear if the tones played at the same time.
> Feedback circuits are vital to biological systems and prove my point.

Yes they are. Consciousness is a result of an electric feedback loop, and aging is apparently a result of a chemical feedback loop but that wasn't proven completely yet (that's the feedback loop I'd very much like disrupted).

But again, that's not what I'm talking about. You're missing my point entirely. I'm talking about connections that aren't obvious so no one looks for them in the first place and performs no experiments to reveal them. Example: sleep-deprived fruit flies accumulate active oxygen in their gut[1] and eventually die because of it. Is this an obvious connection to look for? Hell no. And there are many more examples of such unexpected and perplexing connections in the inner workings of living things. Nature doesn't always choose the most optimal implementations either. Life is a fascinatingly complex Rube Goldberg machine.

The US is willing to run at a $3T deficit so the concept of needing tax money or fiscal viability to build things is tenuous at best.

Did taxpayers get slammed when we built the transcontinental RR?
I think it was reasonable up to the end of the SCO trial, considering both their actions with that directly, and the "get the facts"/open source is cancer FUD that they were spreading back then.

But for the last ten years or so I agree it's tedious.
Thanks for clarifying and giving the conversion numbers!

Something like district heating has much higher infrastructure and coordination costs, but compared to an electricity conversion of only 20%, it's interesting to think about how other applications could have potentially higher efficiencies from that same waste stream.

Anyone know if there are examples of industrial parks that have been designed with waste stream "stacking" in mind? Instead of converting exhaust to electricity at 20% efficiency, could that power production waste heat be sent to something like a kiln or a chemical producer that needs heat as input?
What's the evidence this is happening? That miner centralization is continuing?
Effectiveness. Being efficient is only helpful if you are effective.

Is Paypal still working? It used to be the payment mechanism everyone had to use (not with pleasure) and people even transacted using it for P2P transfer.

I think managing your devices sync yourself is an upside, since you can establish yourself to where you sync and how. But it is more complicated to set up as a downside.
> you were the ones who took the biggest risk in creating it?

They weren't the ones though. They had a lot of investors who swallowed this (flawed) business model whole and decided to bankroll it. The people at Quibi don't have to care and likely got away with a decent chunk of $$$ regardless of the outcome.

Sometimes I wonder if I should actually attempt all the business/project ideas I don't think would ever work. Dress it up with some marketing and a "good" pitch deck and let some suckers bankroll it. Best case scenario I'm a multi-millionnaire, worst case I've still got enough to retire on and it seems like the industry doesn't see these kinds of astronomical failures as a bad thing so I don't even have to sacrifice my career/reputation.
In this case it's a little like finding someone's house in a town you've never been in before. You expect the town's map to be accurate and to have all relevant streets listed - not having some of them missing.

This report suggests that we do have 'streets' missing. Researchers are now delving into finely nuanced areas of research at a level the equivalent of the house before the preliminaries are resolved - before all streets are found. Bypassing prerequisites always has serious consequences, things go wrong, errors occur, time is wasted, work is duplicated by others, etc. Even patients may die.

I'd suggest that no one yet knows how this will impact research that's already been completed and which now has to be reinvestigated.

Is QUIC implemented at the kernel level like TCP/UDP, or is it entirely userland? Is it encapsulated in UDP packets?
Mine definitely started with a much larger interval. 1/64th only did not come before 1/32th, also. I thought they were trying to trick me as if it was ordered, but in the end, it kinda was for me.
It's hard to justify investing in rail. At best, in most parts of the US it is slower, more expensive, and less convenient. There are some edge cases that it makes real sense for, but everywhere else is better served by cars and airplanes.

In a world where there's only a few primitive types no one can share uuids or dates across the wire without both sides knowing which fields are dates or uuids ahead of time

JSON is too simple we need more primitive types and an extensible data notation to formalise data sharing of unknown types
I would avoid enabling QUIC manually anywhere anyway for now, Google controls both endpoints and the RFC so it clearly has an advantage there.
>$2B gone in 6 months must be something of a record for burn rate

Cash burn is similar. Netflix is 10s of billions in the hole since they were founded and continues to burn a few billon a year.

Sadly I think this is a harder problem to solve than it first appears. Given all the technical obstacles and solutions the defining factor for good rail services in a country seems to be:

"Does this country have a tradition of good rail services and take pride in them."

Establishing that is hard. It seems really hard to make the technical solutions work without it. Japan, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and others, trains are great. USA, UK, Australia, Canada - not always terrible but not in the same class. It's not talent. It's not wealth, I doubt the English Language is a hinderance here...
> Just make a license that says it's not allowed to be used by companies of size greater than X.

That kind of license would not be free or open source. Such a restriction is not allowed in both the Free Software Definition and the Open Source Definition.

> A free program must offer the four freedoms to any user that obtains a copy of the software, provided the user has complied thus far with the conditions of the free license covering the software. Putting some of the freedoms off limits to some users, or requiring that users pay, in money or in kind, to exercise them, is tantamount to not granting the freedoms in question, and thus renders the program nonfree.

The AGPL is both a free software license and an open source software license because it ensures certain freedoms for end users, including source code access. Intermediaries who want to host modified AGPL-licensed software, but do not want to release the source code for their modifications, have the option of negotiating a commercial license with the original developer. The commercial distribution of the software would be nonfree, but it would fund development of the free software.

I would be very interested in an experiment in which participants are required to write Kubernetes manifests in YAML or TOML, and what the analysis suggests they prefer (after controlling for the right set of variables). I don’t like YAML, but TOML stops being nice very quickly as the size or complexity of the data increases IMO.

We've been hit with recession, after recession, and now we're all living with our parents as we lean into another one. If marriage is about stability, commitment, and starting a family (kids or not), on-average we're increasingly in a situation where nobody has any money, lives with their parents, isn't religious (traditional source of pressure for marriage), and has no friends.

We're poorer:
"Millennials have slightly less wealth than Boomers did at the same age. The median net worth of households headed by Millennials (ages 20 to 35 in 2016) was about $12,500 in 2016, compared with $20,700 for households headed by Boomers the same age in 1983. Median net worth of Gen X households at the same age was about $15,100."

https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/essay/millennial-life-how-yo...

We live with our parents: "A majority of young adults in the U.S. live with their parents for the first time since the Great Depression"

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/09/04/a-majority-...

We're also far less religious:
"...only about one-quarter of young adults (age 18-29) belong to a white Christian tradition, including white evangelical Protestant (8%), white mainline Protestant (8%), or white Catholic (6%)."

https://www.prri.org/research/american-religious-landscape-c...

We're fragmented, lonely, unhappy....
"More recent data show that one in five millennials have no friends at all. And a survey released in 2020 found that 71 percent of millennials and almost 79 percent of Gen Z respondents report feeling lonely—a significantly greater proportion than other generations."

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-young-america...

And we're increasingly saddled with student debt, which wasn't a thing for our parent's generation.

In reference to 1975:
"Students at University of California schools are now paying $600 in fees and tuition—a number that would soon skyrocket."

Lot of stuff going on. Lot of anger and frustration. Tired of hearing avocado toast jokes from people with pensions, whose tuition budget was the same as their beer budget, and who bought their 3-bedroom for $125k.

Flip side is, it's hitting a lot of older folks these days too:

"Nationally, Johnson was one of the 40,000 people age 65 and older who were homeless in 2017, according to a study by researchers in Los Angeles, New York and Boston. That number is expected to nearly triple by 2030."
