Indeed, the challenge is storage of the information and immutability, since everyone needs to trust the database of unique IDs.

I hate to say it, but if you have connectivity (and directly connecting your production equipment to the internet seems foolish) then a distributed amongst manufacturers blockchain could provide the secure public database needed. It might be wise to batch the UIDs logged each shift to minimize contact and computation. Your test equipment (associated CPUs) could be searching for a new solution and separately upload the batch of UIDs each time it found one.

E.g., we spend 14 million acres on non-food corn ethanol, and 80+ million acres of corn is fed to livestock at terrible feed conversion ratios. We'd get the same amount of net calories on our plates for 8 million acres if we ate the corn.

Back when I took my cs degree I learned about the AI winter - the decades that came after we came up with effective planning, reasoning and problem solving algorithms, but realized we couldn't use them on anything in the real world, because it is fuzzy and imprecise and we don't have an interface to put it into the clean mathematical world of those algorithms. I think basically, we realized that the higher reasoning and planning capabilities of a human mind that we were emulating were worth nothing without the fuzzy pattern recognition capabilities of our reptile brain to recognize and categorize objects for us to even reason about. The way I see it, the deep learning revolution of recent years is basically providing us with that missing link, the fuzzy recognition engine that serves as a foundation for higher reasoning. It still remains to be seen if this approach will scale to AGI on its own or it needs to be combined with others. But saying we are running up against a wall with that is like saying we have run up against the wall of what a visual cortex can do - the real fun begins when we combine it with other components, and those other components are still being developed.

You are right. I'm missing an H at the end.

You first compare target-digest with all endpoints.
If it's a match with any of them, good. Then you know a pre-image is in that column.

If not, then try H(R_last(target-digest)). Does it match any endpoint?

If not, then try H(R_last(H(R_second-to-last(target-digest))).

Rinse and repeat.
In terms of animal protein, aren't eggs basically optimized food machines? For more efficiency, one would have to go down to insects with better conversion ratio.
Why should anyone care? If you own BTC, then you have non-mainstream sources for pricing and news. If you don't own BTC, then what is there to read about?

The mainstream news rarely reports on commodity prices. When they do, it's because the price is tangentially relevant to a more important story.

So, congratulations I suppose. Bitcoin has matured enough to be granted the same status that the news gives to oil, cranberries and soybeans. It will be written about only when the price impacts a large number of consumers.

I grew up in Iowa, so my fascination with hydroponics is partly from the technical intrigue, but also an egalitarian philosophy.

A locales food security with conventional agriculture is heavily dependent on the quality of their soil, while with hydroponics and derivatives it's more a function of their engineering prowess (and available infrastructure).
> But people are exchanging freedom for convenience. Why bother setting up a VPS with a static a web server when you can just host on Netlify?

Indeed. This seems like a bad example, because if anything it's easier to switch from netlify to another CDN then it is to switch from one VPS provider to another.
I have no idea if this actually means anything, but I did a couple amusing calculations. If the number of Electoral College votes each state got were proportional to that state's cumulative per capita COVID infection rates, the result would have been 329 Trump, 209 Biden.

However, if we go by cumulative per capita COVID deaths, then the result would have been 228 Trump, 310 Biden.

Why the big swing? I think it is because the big early outbreaks that swept through retirement and nursing homes before we got better at treating it were in big urban areas. By the time it got big in rural areas, we'd gotten a lot better at dealing with it.

It would be interesting to do a similar calculation, but using say the rates over say the last three months instead of cumulative from the start. If someone wants to do that one, a good place to get the COVID data is here [1]. They have links to download the data for all the graphs as CSV files.

What Worries the World – October 2020
If this future happens, people might "fall back" to their native languages for internet writing. I'm already thinking about this: if I wrote something which could potentially get me in legal trouble, like a reverse engineering post, I would probably write it in my native language. Kind of similar to torrent trackers in Russian or obscure phone mod forums in Portuguese.
Demonstrated sentience/consciousness is on a gradient, from nil/very-low, to high. And somewhere in between, a gray area.

- mussels/mollusks (zero sentience)
- insects (very low demonstrated consciousness)
- fish (low demonstrated consciousness)
- chickens/reptiles (disputed level)
- dogs, dolphins, primates, etc (high)

You can't equivocate chicken sentience with human sentience. What you can do is suggest they have a high enough level of sentience to warrant that certain treatments be immoral. I think infliction of constant stress and suffering certainly would be immoral, however, raising chickens does not necessitate it. And moreover, the level of sentience is not so high that captivity in itself / exploitation be problematic. If that were true keeping domestic pets ought to be just as problematic.

Animals suffer in the wild, that is a constant. They require vigilance over a) predators, b) constant search for food, c) other natural threats. In captivity, these issues don't exist.

Notwithstanding the symbiotic evolution of chicken with humans, a chicken is arguably better off in a free-roam farm than in the wild. This is constantly ignored.

The vegan solution is such that these animals basically cease to exist (i.e. are killed) because they are more dependent on humans than their ancestors. That's what letting them be "sentient" beings instead of commodities would mean.
TL;dr.. they shot a beam at a fuel pellet and it ignited. Story at 11.
> When Trump says something stupid about the Democrats, no, that doesn't deserved prime time coverage in Canada.

Frankly it doesn't deserve coverage here in America, either. If he hadn't been gifted billions of dollars in free advertising from all of these networks that hate watch his Twitter feed I don't think we would even have Trump as POTUS. And now he's never going to go away. And they're going to be hate watching his every step to keep "reporting the news." For the life of me I do not understand why people watch the news in this era.
Well, since you can use the regex itself to generate valid strings, it's certainly possible.

> Nothing's ever enough for vegans.

is that surprising? most vegans I know care more about the animals' quality of life than whether or not they end up getting slaughtered. this is a large part of why they are vegans and not merely vegetarians. interestingly, I find that they tend to be pretty accepting of hunting.
They need a UX/UI person, badly.
They should also just call it "OpenMeetings", and ditch the Apache moniker on their products. Normal people don't know who or what Apache is. They don't care. At best, it'll confuse them. At worst it'll make them afraid to install it.
Just market "OpenMeetings", but for goodness sake, pretty it up first.
I wonder if the disconnect is that the phrase "open source" refers to "source code," and UI designers who would otherwise feel able to contribute may think "I don't produce source code, I produce [whatever artifact of their process]; too bad the pull request workflow only collects source code and a readme."

If I'm correct to suspect that this train of thought might exist (and not only keeping UI designers away, but all sorts of related professions like product managers, marketing, etc.) then maybe the whole notion of "[product] is open source, contribute to the source code or issue queue" needs to be rebranded as "[product] is an open collective work, contribute in any possible way" with a collaborationware workflow that doesn't consider changing the source and filing issues (bugs, feature requests) to be the only first class citizens.

Many projects do have communities with robust organization of leadership, management, branding, etc. but with real or perceived barriers to entry that don't give the same sense of openness and "everyone can contribute to this well-oiled contribution intake machine" in non-code aspects akin to what developers enjoy.
>In practice, in the US, the fiber connection will actually offer a sustained 100mbps up and down

Does this actually matter given that up/down are already prominently advertised?

>with a low latency

Does fiber have lower latency than DSL/cable? Even if there is a speed difference between the two mediums, there probably isn't that big of a difference given the short distance involved (a few miles at most).

>while the cable company will share a 500mbps down 10mbps up connection over 50 houses and sell you 100mbps by throttling everything else for a few minutes and using this burst speed as their advertised bandwidth.

Just because it's fiber doesn't mean the bandwidth isn't shared. eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.984
There is also (and especially if your a small shop) the thing where if your self hosted stuff goes down, you have a crappy time fixing it, over weekend, holiday, etc, until its done.

If AWS goes down, thousands of other people are working on it frantically. And most likely, many of them are smarter/better than you.

On argument to make is that the market only cares about the majority of their customers, not all of them.

Here our income tax declaration is very simple, the tax office already knows how much salary we have earned, and there aren't many deductions, so most people either don't have to file taxes at all, or just click next a few times and get their tax returns after a week or so. For 90% of people it takes less than 5 minutes.
A lot of it is that it's hard to design a modern application CPU. Unlike the others Apple was able to put it all together and had the advantage of tuning for their own software (i.e. the NSObject optimization)

Graviton2 uses an ARM-designed core and actually cut the cache sizes a bit from ARM's recommendation, and it's certainly competitive if not an absolute 'wow!' like M1 is. (Apple could have shipped at that level 2-3 years ago.)
> But this claim is basically not defended, and my point is that it's very easy to come up with cases in which it's not only morally acceptable for a doctor to lie to you, but in fact might be morally obligatory.

Your claim it's "very easy" to come up with examples would have convinced me more if you hadn't relied on the extremely contrived example of a cancer that would kill you if and only if you knew you had it. That made me think you had really struggled a lot to come up with realistic examples.
> A common refrain in arguments that we don't need to reject closed source software to protect privacy is that being closed source doesn't hide the behaviour, and people will still notice backdoors and privacy leaks. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

And there are cases where it's not practical for "people to notice." For instance: a privacy leak that only uses the cell network connection of a phone, which would avoid easily-sniffed connections.
The worst part about the Hunter/Joe Biden saga is that what they were doing isn't illegal (from what I can tell.). I'd call it corrupt and crony capitalism, among things, but doesn't look like it's illegal.

Evolution doesn't work the way you think it does
I thonk we are both arguing that clear consent must be present, and the customer must have clearly agreed to whatever you are doing with the data - that appears similar to GDPR.

However, how do you prove John Doe has actually agreed to this? What if John says he did not click accept button? Do we require digital signature with certificates, given that most people don't have them or know how to use them?

I think the problem is more tractable for physical products running firmware - there you have real proof of purchase, and, at present, firmware that does whatever it wants.
That's why you should ignore CEOs tweeting random shit, and buy a stock that you can just leave in a drawer for years on end. Ultimately that stock has a value, a share of the company's profits and assets. If you find a stock that you can purchase at a reasonable price for your expectation of those profits and assets, it doesn't matter what that CEO says.

If value investing doesn't appeal, you can absolutely play speculation games against all of the other people playing speculation games. Value investing is dull and plodding, and to be honest, the usual advice about index funds feels hollow on a day when the S&P 500's P/E is pushing 40.

But I, personally, would rather leave my money in a bank account than play speculation games in any asset. I just don't have the stomach for it. If you do, I wish you the best of luck.
Coulda woulda shoulda isn’t evidence.
Taking a stab in the dark here but let me know if I am close. You are using GARCH and ARIMA on the options pricing data to identify moves in the market. Once you identify a move you try out a bunch of different combinations of buying/selling puts/calls. You then take a look at the possible positions and see which wouldn't require an absurd collateral and execute on it?

For something like PLNT how did you run a backtest? It seems like there is only ~1 month worth of data.
Strictly speaking, yes, there is the expectation that the machine is used entirely for business purposes, if the business is paying for it, otherwise it might be considered a benefit in kind. It's not so much about VAT then as PAYE.

However I feel no particular guilt that the workstation I use for my full-time dev day-job also has a windows partition for gaming in the evening, and I hope that the tax authorities would see things the same way! It's not like the asset isn't a justified business purchase.

>This doesn't end well. You can't push a large percentage of your population into delusion without some very destructive consequences. Even if it does mean you keep your Senate seat.

I would argue that, for the individuals in question, the long-term consequences literally have no meaning, do not matter, and absolutely are not part of the calculus.

If I get power during my life, and secure my legacy as an important, and very wealthy person, my children can buy away any problem that may pop up for them.

Therefore, my actions of destruction today do not matter, as long as I am the one in power.

This is why I believe it is only going to keep getting worse; if the incentive is to stay in power, at all costs, we're in for a wild ride.

Vegans don't face any such dilemma.

The animal kingdom is quite clearly defined and vegans are pretty consistently defined as not consuming animals or animal products.

the UK is largely pushed by a bunch of (usually white) middle class students with a hard on for Kimberlie Crenshaw and an utter ignorance of the work done over the last seventy years by black and ethnic minority British anti racists to tackle the racism in British society that arises from our history as a colonising nation. Ironically by privileging black American narratives over those of BAME Britons BLM campaigners in the UK engage in a form of cultural colonialism that silences the voices of the very people they claim "matter."
