> the consensus mechanism makes it prohibitively difficult to change

This is a cultural property of the community, not an intrinsic property of bitcoin. If Satoshi signed a PGP message with a compelling call to alter the scarcity it would likely happen; maybe you disagree, but the point is that it's very possible to change the scarcity because it's a distributed computer program.
Fortune 500 sure. But mid and small business have 0 negotiation power, it's extremely expensive to migrate data, and they can't afford a legal battle(as threat).
Exynos is dead.
This perspective is not any better.

Try to put it into your head - most white people did not benefit from the oppression of the black people.

I did not, my ancestors did not, my countrymen did not.

I do not share any collective guilt with some American slave owners, or French colonists.

Like it was told, this policy is racist. Whoever came up with it is racist. Whoever defends it is racist.
A bit of conflation in some of the comments but the "issue" is a bit of a loophole in the ADA. The ADA basically tries to minimize the burden of having a disability. So there are no licensing fees or registration or anything related to having a service animal by the government and as such businesses, landlords, etc. can't ask for something like a license or registration of a service animal as verification.

The key difference between an "emotional support animal" and a legitimate service animal is that service animals have training that directly assists with the person's disability. Easy examples are seeing-eye dogs, dogs that are trained to smell/detect low blood sugar in diabetics, and dogs that are trained to protect their owner if they have a seizure or similar.

Emotional support animals are just...emotional support and aren't trained to really do anything.

It seems like businesses were just too scared to go to battle over people bringing their pets places for fear of being accused of violating the ADA.

To be clear, I think emotional support animals are ridiculous, but the "no registration/license" piece is a very critical part of the ADA. Finally, businesses are allowed to ask what tasks a service animal has been trained to do as verification and that allowance doesn't even extend to service animals in training.
Android has oversold Apple 3 to 1

Now if we look at what people are buying and ask ourselves 'are these the people who care about TDP?' the answer is simply 'no'

The majority of laptops sold are sub 700, as the previous post said, low budget, low power and in education, markets that Apple has never even considered (except education, but it's mainly college students in USA)

Not saying M1 aren't good, but that they won't shake the market as NVidia buying ARM could

P.s. M1 is a Zen 3 competitor, threadripper has been mentioned for the exact opposite reason: because that's the state of the art for people looking at performances in personal computing (while in HPC ARM is prominent)
There was a lady in my hometown who had a shetland pony and took the city bus with it. It was quite the double take when I saw a horse getting off a city bus!
Have you ever paid for anything in cash? That has exactly the same guarantees.
Speaking as someone who is a senior manager/director, my experience is dismissals of high-profile employees usually have a ton of complexity under the hood, and whatever information is publicly available is often the tip of the iceberg. Out of respect for the folks involved, the full details of the lead-up to the dismissal are almost never released even internally in the company. This information asymmetry makes it relatively easy for a sufficiently vocal dismissed party to control the public narrative even if their internal behavior at the company was extraordinarily problematic.

These dismissal decisions are not made lightly and I would wager there was a long history of events leading up to this. You usually only see the straw that broke the camel's back.
It's amazing how different humans can be.

Your grievances aren't a big deal to me, whereas lack of a huge screen and sound system are painful.

I used to see everything in theaters and almost never used Netflix except for their original content.

A Quiet Place was fantastic in theatres. The audience responded to it. Audience noises added to the tension, and we all felt it. People tried to be quiet.

I can't wait for theaters to be back. I just worry that they'll be bought up by the tech giants and studios for a bargain and turned into some stupid membership scheme that only plays a given studio's films. (This is my nightmare scenario, because I can't even conceive of a world without theaters. That's like a world without sports or restaurants.)

I've started going to the local drive in theater and it's actually an amazing experience. It's not the same sound system or crystal clear image, but the bigness is there and movies feel epic again. Tenet was really fun.
There are some fairly easy steps you can take that other, more-diverse organizations have taken. First, you have to get rid of your referral pipeline, because hiring people your employees already know is the opposite of diversity. Second, instead of recruiting from organizations you've already heard of, like Stanford where this person came from, you park a full-time recruiter at institutions with practical diversity, like Houston, Georgia, UNLV, CUNY. Finally, you go for diversity of thought, by hiring philosophers and carpenters instead of CS grads. I know for a fact that were I to hire into my AI Ethics department, the last person I would recruit would be a Stanford AI researcher. I'd go directly to the philosophy department.
IQ and EQ: study finds gifted people also have higher emotional intelligence
Gebru would disagree:

> “I think that now a lot of people have understood that we need to have more diverse datasets, but unfortunately I felt like that’s kind of where the understanding has stopped. It’s like ‘let’s diversify our datasets. And that’s kind of ethics and fairness, right?’ But you can’t ignore social and structural problems.“

This seems to be saying that Yann LeCun should actually be addressing social and structural problems, rather that just applying neural networks to data sets.

Google’s Co-Head of Ethical AI Says She Was Fired for Email

Who decides what's reasonable, though?

The whole thing is a big grey area. The rules should be explicit.
Please read up on the term "Invisible Disabilities". Not every disability is obvious, not every disability is immediately provable to satisfy an adhoc request, and not every disability has immediate effects. Your suggestion would lead to people being further marginalized, if every person feels that they can barge in for 2 minutes each. Add up more and more people each stealing away 2 minutes, and that is quite a lot of time.

How would that even work, too? If a random person decides that somebody's disability doesn't exist, do they then just barge in even more than usual. "I decided that your coeliac disease didn't exist, so I used wheat as a thickener. Your fault for not explaining it better."
I’ve seen this posted multiple times over reddit and something is making me think you are paying for these upvotes as now it’s shot up on hacker news.
> I remember a radio host ranting that in his flight there was a lady with a pony as an emotional support animal

TBF miniature horses can genuinely be not just ESA but service animals. They're the only legal alternative to dogs for service animals.
> Very few companies even in the US can pay 200-300K salaries to devs

I would definitely agree with that. $200-300k is an outlier in the US, but $120k is an outlier in Europe, even for Staff-level engineers.
One of the ways I don't feel bad about not making millions in BTC even though I was aware of it long ago is the absolute certainty that I would have simply lost the paper wallet, had a hard-drive failure, etc, etc. There is just no way I would have held onto my keys for the 7 years that I was aware of it. I imagine that the breakage here for early investors is probably pretty high. I never did cash out on my dogecoin...

> Service animals have to be licensed

In the US this is not true by the ADA as licensing is a pretty prohibitive cost for many people with disabilities.
They didn't completely forbid the practice. Dogs are still allowed.

How would they verify claims? Ask for a prescription or a note from a doctor or psychiatrist?

EDIT: I'm wrong, only service dogs are allowed, so they need to be trained to do a specific task to help a person with a disability.

But also, I'm pretty sure verication was already technically required. From AA's website, these forms are required:

- Medical / Mental Health Professional Form

- Veterinary Health Form, or vaccination record with current rabies vaccination information

- Confirmation of Animal Behavior Form
Sure, and the futures have been available for a long time already. But an index fund is far simpler and more accessible, and can also be 100% long term capital gains. Most people can't trade options in their 401k.

They also banned psilocybin mushrooms (the fruiting body) vs. the mushroom body for some reason (legal as "truffles").
Yeah, this. I once actually turned down a job offer in part because there wouldn't be a way to transport my cat internationally without subjecting him to the horrors of airlines that might put him in cargo, or worse, promise to let him be in the cabin and then put him in cargo anyway.
My brother was a daytrader in the late 90s on Wall Street at a small firm. He said they didn't hire him for his degree (elite university) but for his ability to play a music instrument at a high level. They looked for people with a strong ability in a specific, nontrivial "skill." There were a lot of athletes, it didn't have to be analytical or related to trading. He didn't do well there and left after a short while, but this trading simulator makes me think of zeroing on just that narrow ability to stare at the charts and suss out patterns from the noise.
I feel like such a slanted take should come with a disclaimer of your holdings.

The author is bashing another author for not doing measurements, yet himself declares that m1 beats all the other CPUs, without providing any measurements.

With regards to the M1, I'm grateful for a good competition. As this will likely push premium laptop manufactures (Razer, Dell) towards ryzen CPUs, as opposed to using them in cheaper models. Loosening the grip that intel has on them.

With Zen3 on mobile, giving a similar 20% boost as it did on desktop, plus a jump from 7nm to to 5m, giving another 20%, next year might be a very good year for Ryzen laptops. Looking forward to a Ryzen 6000 XPS 13.

The other thing I'm grateful for M1 is that will most likely push the laptop manufactures to pay attention to thermals and noise.

The unpleasant thing, is that most likely Apple will be a process node ahead, with them most likely getting TSMC 3nm in 2022, and everyone else a year later. With a competitive year in-between.

I'm looking forward to next year, to upgrading to a Ryzen 6000(5nm) cpu, if it's good. And I'm looking forward for the more beefy apple arm chips and comparison between them. Also, maybe someone would compare a Ryzen 6000 hackintosh with an arm mac while it will be possible.

Also looking forward at Intel's response, be it a partnership with TSMC, or fixing their nodes, and, fingers crossed, a completely new risc-v cpu.

Anyway, interesting stuff.
Again, from a marketing perspective, it's not clear that matters. For a great number of cryptocurrency "investors", they're just buying magic beans. A fine piece of evidence comes from CNN today that digital currencies are effectively substitutable: https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/03/investing/bitcoin-ethereum-xr...

As Bitcoin itself proved, plenty of people will buy into a commodity because it's new and hot, and not because of any fundamental analysis of its value. In that sense, Bitcoin is not in any way scarce.
Honestly, it's called a glass jar. Folks should eat fresh local meats and produce and make their own preserves. Less reliance on mass-produced products and support local farmers/producers. Back before the garbagization-of-food you'd go to the butcher and get high quality meats. You'd go to the market to get produce. And, you'd make your own preserves for the winter WITHOUT PLASTIC. Simple, and in fact they taste much better if seasoned well!
I do hope that you're being sarcastic.

It wasn't any better before cell phones. People still talked during the movie, kids ran up and down the aisles, people would get up in the middle of the movie to go to the bathroom.

What changed was big home televisions got cheaper, and those of us who value decorum during movies can get it at home, with cheap snacks and the ability to pause the movie.
For other ARM manufacturers, I wonder how much of this is a software problem.

I mean, what would the market be for a super-fast ARM laptop/desktop machine? It would run Windows RT, I guess?

How much better than Intel/AMD would the ARM machine need to be to justify buying it and running that? It seems like the M1's "magic" is not just the chip, but very much also the Rosetta thing.

Are you claiming humans would fail an ABX test between a 60Hz and a 120Hz monitor? That sounds like a pretty extraordinary claim.
No, that ship has sailed. Anything new that comes now can be built according to the expectations smartphones have set over the past decade and a half. Closed systems that are treated like disposable items. Even PCs in their mobile incarnation are now far less open and flexible than they used to be.

The reason PCs are still open is historical, they started like this and people can't really see PCs any other way but they're a dying breed and whatever comes after is a different game with different rules. We'll have some niche manufacturer building something more open for the small segment of enthusiasts.

The temperance movement was global in scale and existed independently of racist and nativist political factions. That’s not to say that those groups didn’t overlap at times, but the reality was much more complicated than you present. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperance_movement for more background.
Thanks for the correction, that's a big difference. Still a severe limit but seems more hopeful for larger options in the future.

In Startup speak: The focus on innovation at the expense of maintenance is like focusing on acquiring new users while paying no attention to retention. This is a known means to kill a business.

Important paragraph from this article:

How central is maintenance? As Vinsel and Russell note, “about 70 percent of engineers maintain and oversee existing systems,” and “60 and 80 percent of software budgets are spent on maintenance.” Indeed, according to one estimate, two-thirds of US workers are engaged in maintenance of infrastructures, places, or people. Yet they’re often underpaid (65 percent make less than $20 an hour), and maintenance itself is chronically underfunded.

People who trade on technical indicators like the author have to consider the market to not be accurately represented by brownian motion.

For technical analysis to be anything other than an abstract form of gambling, the efficient market hypothesis has to be flat out false.

I'd say it's the idea (for both sides depending on the specific issue) of living with the psychological weight of knowing that additional taxes and restrictions are constantly suggested which would impact your lifestyle.
Please. It's the only option available to a lot of people anymore especially with COVID shutdowns but it's part of a larger shift to a knowledge-economy. There aren't many jobs for unskilled workers anymore and getting skills is too expensive for the poor. Ignoring that reality is ridiculous and only proves you don't argue in good faith.

It's also because there's a market for this even from people who aren't "trolling". Flying is difficult for pet owners, full stop. There really needs to be safe, affordable options for pet/dog owners to travel. As the horrible things airlines have done to pets makes it absolutely clear to many that we can't put our animals lives in the Airlines hands.

If the upper management wanted to retract that paper then it seems reasonable to assume that preparing this paper did not produce any value to the company.

Doing work that needs to be actively suppressed is not producing value - at least not to the company. So apparently there's a fundamental misalignment between the work Dr. Gebru wants to do and the work that Google wants her to do; this was made clear with the suppression of the paper, and escalated as Dr. Gebru apparently (and understandably) did not want to work in a very different direction, (quoting her tweet) "asked for simple conditions first" which were totally unacceptable to the employer ("We cannot agree to #1 and #2 as you are requesting."), so that's it, if neither is willing to compromise on their primary goals, they can't work together.

This does indicate that apparently listening to ethics researchers they hired is unacceptable to Google. Sad, but not surprising.
> How would they verify claims? Ask for a prescription or a note from a doctor or psychiatrist?

Yes?
The fact that it's a "cultural property of the community" doesn't make it easy to change.

Bitcoin is not just "a computer program", it is a program and a blockchain. The same program with a different blockchain is not Bitcoin (there are plenty of those out there). Adding more supply to the Bitcoin blockchain would require large numbers of people to work against their own interests, decimating the value of their own infrastructure investments and bitcoin holdings.

It would be much, much more difficult to change Bitcoin than e.g. the supply of dollars or euros which are considered scarce enough for most purposes by most of the world. And, I contend, even more difficult than changing the supply of gold via asteroid mining. I doubt that even the second coming of Satoshi would be enough to do it (and I also very much doubt that Satoshi is still alive, or that he would want to if he was, considering his known political/economic stances).
My speculation: the movie theater, like the non-movie theater (for distinction I'll use "play house"), will always exist.

However, the density of movie theaters will decrease. Previously most small towns had a movie theater but not a play house. Similarly, movie theaters will likely only exist in the downtown or perhaps a large mall of a densely populated location.

Movie theaters will likely continue their trend to become more expensive, i.e. alcoholic drinks, food, etc. basically become a decent restaurant/bar with an amazing AV experience.
