In my country this is already fully supported: PayID will let you transfer money instantly instantly between accounts (up to some daily limit), with no fees.

Similarly, an app called BeemIt, which is supported by the major banks here gives you a very similar experience, albeit with a prettier UI/UX. As it stands, there’s now no advantage that cryptocurrency offers in this space anymore IMO.
We've never done anything out of a moral outrage, or have been directly attacked (WW 2). In order to get the US Gov to care, you have to start costing capital money.

The only reason we got mad about Vietnam, Cuba, South America is not because of "Communism" as an abstract concept. It's because the government seized or threatened to seize assets. See also Pinochet. We had no problem with him.

The reason why this is relevant to China is that China has made a lot of people a lot of money. So they commit a genocide every so often. As long as it doesn't cost American capital money, we'll ignore it.

Why were people so up in arms about Cuba, but not Ethiopia? Well, Cuba is much closer, true. But the real issue was that people owned stuff in Cuba. There was no significant interest in Ethiopia.
Not everything has to be about race. Why not allow students to you know, learn some money/finance basics without painting it as a new attempt to be racist by the system?

The picture of the car is not protected by hard crypto until it's inserted into the blockchain. Until it is inserted the trust chain breaks at the questions of:

When was it taken?
Who was taking the picture?
What is the picture of? The car to be protected? Or someone else's car.

Blockchain works for currencies, since currencies are just numbers in a ledger. And numbers can be easily secured with strong crypto.
Mental issues have longer term consequence. I wouldn't assume that a few months of lockdown will cause a suicide spike as to compare to most new diseases. Isolation will affect social life which will affect mental health which will affect social life etc. E.g. I'd assume consequences to recursively culmulate even after lockdowns have ended. Which arguably would increase suicides and decrease general happiness for a time longer than the lockdowns.

Lockdowns also reduce other causes of death which may participate in that (reportedly) high correlation between excess death and covid deaths.
We've related the timing we've seen on our platform, and the fact that Firecracker works surprisingly well with the performance envelope we need, but I wouldn't go so far as to say Fly has benchmarked Docker vs. Firecracker. We're just relating our experiences. Security isolation is dispositive for us; we'd be using Firecracker even if it slowed us down.

> What people criticize about the Rwandan genocide isn’t the lack of military intervention.

On 11 January 1994, General Roméo Dallaire, commander of UNAMIR, sent his "Genocide Fax" to UN Headquarters.[108] The fax stated that Dallaire was in contact with "a top level trainer in the cadre of Interhamwe-armed [sic] militia of MRND." The informant—now known to be Mathieu Ngirumpatse's chauffeur, Kassim Turatsinze,[109] a.k.a. "Jean-Pierre"—claimed to have been ordered to register all Tutsi in Kigali. According to the memo, Turatsinze suspected that a genocide against the Tutsis was being planned, and he said that "in 20 minutes his personnel could kill up to 1000 Tutsis".[110] Dallaire's request to protect the informant and his family and to raid the weapons caches he revealed was denied.[110]

The Bible as a source of religious power is a great analogy. John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Johannes Gutenberg, and others in some cases risked and lost their lives and their freedom (Wycliffe was confined in Black Hall and his body was exhumed to be burned, Tyndale was strangled and burned at the stake) to make it widely printed and available to the common people in their vernacular.

Eg. “The Anti-Wycliffite Statute of 1401 extended persecution to Wycliffe's remaining followers. The "Constitutions of Oxford" of 1408 aimed to reclaim authority in all ecclesiastical matters, and specifically named John Wycliffe as it banned certain writings, and noted that translation of Scripture into English by unlicensed laity was a crime punishable by charges of heresy.” — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wycliffe#Last_days

As far as does this implement enough JavaScript features for websites to run, https://test262.report/ looks really promising! You would have to hook it up to DOM and network and all sorts of other APIs normally provided by browsers, though.

One reason you might not want to build a general-use browser on QuickJS is performance. QuickJS is one of the fastest JS interpreters in its weight class, but engines like V8 achieve much better runtime speed by using fifty times the code to do all kinds of complicated just-in-time optimizations. Websites built in frameworks like React are often bottlenecked by JS engine performance (spending 100ms or more just doing tons and tons of object instantiations and function calls and stuff), so a QuickJS browser probably wouldn't provide a good experience for those.
The article doesn't even do the sheer size of this operation justice. i remembered an article from last year.[1]

>"In April, at the height of its ad spending, videos from the Epoch Media Group, which includes The Epoch Times and digital video outlet New Tang Dynasty, or NTD, combined for around 3 billion views on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, ranking 11th among all video creators across platforms and outranking every other traditional news publisher, according to data from the social media analytics company Tubular."

Three billion views, more than most of the large publishers combined. And content that isn't just a little bit out there, but as the NYT article suggests full on QAnon-tier stuff. Simply insane.

The fear is that you destroy one or more of your inhabited planet not just a lifeless ball. Which I would hope you and most people would consider a significant downside. That risk is balanced vs the benefit of sending self replicating probes to every star system which just doesn’t seem that useful.

Now is that a large or small risk? I don’t have the technology but it’s something that could reasonably concern a civilization.
It makes sense to ask, I would do the same, but in this case I definitely don't have any innovations on hand.
I believe it could be used. The biggest problem is that all of the DOM classes have to be replicated, and the api surface is absolutely huge, so that would take a large amount of work.

Yes, there are a million ways that a person can be targeted for a removal (marginalised, sidelined, or set up for total career destruction) in an environment that's enforcing a narrow, shifting ideological orthodoxy. Any attempt to solicit a countervailing opinion on political matters in high-profile tech companies should of course be met with extreme suspicion, but unfortunately that's likely to lead to the problem getting worse.

The problems in Spivak are pretty good I think - they'll show if you can do maths or not.

Some also have answers (and an answer book for the rest), so there's examples of explaining what was done, for harder ones. The explanations are sometimes too concise, but at least it gives some guide for how you can explain your answers.

At a much easier level, Khan Academy videos mostly are explaining how a specific problem was solved - another resource.

This is the same narrative of the civilized Europeans that colonized the rest of the world and led to the genocide of the Native American (Indians) and the Australian aboriginals. Our side is human and anyone that falls short of your values is less than human. I'm not a moral relativist, we need only look at the physical and mental health of animals raised in different zoos to see that there is an objective morality and a basic minimum decency for how to treat our fellow humans. But if you are going to violate this ethical minimum, then you're narrative is the _only_ one that's ever been used. We're the good guys, they're the bad guys.

This goes back to the debate between Augustine, a former good vs evil Manichean, and Pelagius. One believed that "everyone is bad" and warned against excessive hubris, while the other believed that those who choose to do evil do so out of their own free will.

In the pre-9/11 world, there was the idea that torture was a relic of the past, and we had made moral progress beyond such barbarities. But it was the leading liberal democracy in the world, rather than some third world dictatorship, that reintroduced the practice.

The United States trained the guerillas that eventually became the Vietcong in Vietnam, and the country went to war under the Gulf of Tonkin false flag. Similarly, the United States invaded Iraq under the WMD charade. In Afghanistan, it promoted the Islamist fundamentalism of the mujahideen, in order to fight the USSR friendly government that the Afghans themselves elected. The mujahideen became the Taliban, and a similar story of is true of ISIS and al-qaeda (US trained them to do their dirty work then lost control of them)

I don't think the United States is the root of all evil. But it's important to realise that the Chinese don't think of their country as an evil dictatorship, the same way that you don't view your country as "the bad guys". Rather, as St Augustine put it in his doctrine of original sin, we are all "the bad guys" and we need to reflect on the worse demons of our nature.

We have forgotten the Augustinian lessons, indulging in excessive pride and hubris, and failing to reflect on the same pattern that has been occurring cyclically for millennia.
This millenium is 20 years in. That's an example of hyperbolic language implying a much greater time horizon.

Government is a tool and not perfect,this is why I think you can see western democracies which are bound to be mediocre but can actually adjust over time and most of the issues can be blamed on the population as a whole as they still hold voting power, whereas you also have evil government such as the Chinese government that openly has concentration camps and tortures millions in them but the populace at large (in China) seems to be okay with it and couldn't really do anything about it anyway, as they are controlled completely by less than 1% of the population and short of a civil war can't really do anything about it.

South Africa had no real ways to fight back. China on the other hand can inflict a lot of damage.
So, there's language support for it, but it'll still be necessary to have driver support, ideally a whole support library in Rust.

Most BLE or WiFi enabled microcontrollers have a binary blob for driving connectivity, or deeply C based code that can be a challenge to integrate idiomatically in Rust.
That's cool that it works. So that's one solution to that problem.

Here in France, phone spam is essentially non-existant, and I'm nearly sure there are no block chains involved.

I'd posit that this is a tech workaround for a political problem. Which is fine in my book, but it's not exactly a killer application for the technology that is block chain, if really you'd want (and could have) something that does the job better.
>Excusing / advocating genocide

Genocide is a very serious accusation. The word is thrown around in this thread in a trivial way as if you can accuse anyone of advocating it. Let me spell it out for you: Pretty much no one advocates this. You're coming at him saying "I never said it was at holocaust levels" as if that makes a huge difference. This is mass human slaughter we're talking about.

He described it with the word "Holocaust" for two reasons. To detrivialize the usage of the word and because I've seen numbers being thrown around as if millions of people were exterminated.

>"concentration camps are bad but.." No but. There's no but there.

There is indeed a but. The US put the japanese in concentration camps in the past. This does not raise them to the same position as Hitler gassing the jews.

>I am going off first hand accounts and confirmed facts. What are you doing?

Confirmed facts of genocide? Show me some pictures. Show some proof. The seriousness of the accusation demands serious evidence.

>Reducing this to a "two sides" issue is shameless deflection. What part of the dozens of reporting done on Xinjiang do you think is false, and what facts are you basing that on?

He's reducing the issue to an "all sides" issue. Insulting an alternative view point is reducing it to a "one side" issue.

Let's keep things utterly clear here. It is completely wrong to build internment camps. Completely. But it is also completely and utterly wrong to silence another view point and accuse someone of genocide.

You don't solve an issue by attacking the people who created the internment camps without understanding the situation which caused them deploy such drastic procedures in the first place.
well, yeah. you shouldn't be doing 35 new cards a day. it's not anki's fault that you had several hours worth of reviews. it's your fault. anki scales to take up as much time as you tell it to. if you had done 5-10 cards a day you could have easily had it take like 20 minutes. also you should have cards set to leech suspend. there is no reason to having certain cards that you clearly aren't going to learn taking up an order of magnitude more time than other cards. just nuke those cards from orbit and move on. most people's bad experiences with anki is due to user error.

that said it certainly doesn't help that anki takes a non-trivial amount of time and study in and of itself to properly set up to be really efficient.

I'm naive in the space so take this with a grain of salt, but I believe the original Tabata study[0] showed comparable increases in participant VO_2 max compared to non-HIIT, with only a 4 minute workout.

Put that alongside evidence that sustained exercise (how sustained I have no idea) has negative effects (as per above comments), and the argument seems plausible.

You forgot to include the second half of that sentence "or say they had no preference". So at most you get a +1 from cat ladies but more likely a neutral score. But a -1 or worse from all other women. It's clear that if optimizating for the most potential options their takeaway of don't take pictures with your cat is correct.
I would just like to say that if anyone has a rational counterargument to this, I really want to hear it. This is precisely the observation past which the logic becomes less coherent in just about any conversation I've had on blockchain applications.
I remember a good 20 years ago a joke being a remotely controlled vibrator. I believe it was called iBrator, or something akin to that. Fast forward, I saw it in a video the other day..
The original poster is right. Blockchain solves distributed trust. Scarcity is a particular rule, and blockchain is solving a problem of trust in that everyone are obeying that rule. You can have a blockchain that enforces completely different rules, where scarcity don't matter. And you can have scarcity in a system where trust is not a problem (trusted central party).

I think the counterargument is more along the lines of: Downloadable decks will have a fairly high percentage of irrelevant cards for you, and will always lack a lot of useful cards for you (the latter is something I'm pretty sure is true).

When I am exposed to some new thing, parts of it will stick immediately, and other parts will need some kind of processing on my part before I internalize it. When you are exposed to the same new thing, those parts that stick and those that need processing will usually differ from mine. Hence it's hard to make a deck that works well for the majority.

People may be working from home but they are shopping in retail with no masks, going out to eat in restaurants, taking public transportation with no masks, etc. They never closed schools.

These individual technologies (DOM/html parser, js runtime, layout etc.) really aren't so bad. It's about a weekends worth of work to do one.

What makes a "modern" browser is all of these technologies together not just quirk free, but matching quirks with whatever browser is popular. Even this won't really be enough since most people also depend on a bunch of online services provided by browser vendors at this point (push, bookmark syncing, password management etc.)
