Also, it's not like the functions that banks currently do would become unnecessary in a Bitcoin maximalist world. It's an apples to oranges comparison.
What the heck, I'll go on a little bit more after noting that we loved living in the SF Bay Area when we did.

Our electricity is almost all hydro, and so very green. Our only vehicle is a Tesla which we charge at home.

Our home is relatively close to the Puget sound but we're nearly 100 feet above it, which will make us proof against 21st century sea level rise, hurricanes (currently impossible here) and tsunamis. At the same time, the very large amount of water near us strongly moderates our temperature fluctuations, similar to but stronger than the same effect on the peninsula in the SF Bay Area.

There's no state income taxes. Property tax is slightly higher than in the SF Bay Area. Sales tax is about the same.

Finally, this is my current view: https://www.realms.org/pics/woods-outside.jpg
This is not my experience, it seems to be different for different dependencies being installed.
It's also why I don't trust sales figures on individual products from companies with a portfolio. Sales tend to get credited to products that the company wants to show as gaining traction while really the favored product was an add-on to a bundle of established products that had their license renewed.

Naturally you don't verify the blockchain yourself, but use a light wallet that uses very little data.

And you don't use BTC as the fees are way too expensive.

This is what people are doing in Venezuela for example.

good point, they justify by saying things like 'cost of living' when in reality it's about many other things like supply/demand, need for local talent who can come to office etc etc.

What points were made that changed your mind?
It uses the standard Node.js filesystem functions. Set a key a value writes the value to a file defined by the key and the name of the map that you set when you create it.

I have no idea what it's for.
Bitcoin costs about 6$ per transaction (based on block reward). That is more than many transactions I make. Also, if you are using electricity to heat a house, heat pumps are about 4x more effective than bitcoin mining. This "mine for heat" meme has no real basis in fact.
>Energy consumption in the classical model is substantially lower because if you scaled up Bitcoin to the size of visa alone it would exceed the amount of energy generated on earth a few times over and the amount of ewaste generated on earth too.

This seems to be a misunderstanding of how mining works. The amount of energy used for mining is largely disconnected from transaction volume. Mining a block with one transaction takes about the same amount of energy (within a few watts) as mining a block with 10000 transactions.
To add to this, as I understand it if you have a SS card with the words “not valid for employment” then the IRS doesn’t consider it valid for the stimulus, even if you’ve been filing W2s for years. You have to apply for a new card so the SS database gets updated with the fact that you have a valid SSN.

At least that’s what I’m hoping, so my wife and I can finally collect that $2400 on our next tax return.
Do you have anything (end subscription form etc) that might reveal if an address opened the email or accepted the signup? Could be spammers probing for valid addresses? not sure if thats a thing with email.

Exactly and we needed this to be $600 monthly. It also sucks that a lot of individually owned small business weren't eligible for this stimulus.
People in DFW love their single family homes. Like most everywhere else in America: if your policy suggestion is "give up a lot of space and turn your residential neighbourhood into multi-family housing," you're going to get a lot of resistance.

It's not so land locked, which has delayed things since people can expand out, but look at what traffic is doing as a result! It'll keep sprawling, and costs will keep going up in the more central areas, though not as fast for sure.

Is it better to have growth spread to places that aren't in a not-geographically-bottlenecked-already-full area? Sure, probably. Seems a lot more sustainable and a lot less just a boon to existing lucky landholders. But then your policy solution goes back to "close SF and the other places that are full to push the growth elsewhere," not some sort of "just manage SF's growth better!" wishful thinking.
>and since software doesn't rot like real equipment, this should be even more true

I disagree with that to a degree. Sure the bits that make up your software don't "rot", the compute environment under which it operates is always changing and will lead to it no longer working.

Try taking any PC, whether it's Windows 10 running IE or it's Ubuntu running Firefox, and just stop updating it. How many years will you feel comfortable using it? _Eventually_ you're going to need security updates, interface with new protocols, support/function on replacement hardware when it dies, etc.

I'll acknowledge that in reality, there are internet routers, industrial machines, and the like that can probably run for decades on the same software revision given enough babysitting and like-replacement of the hardware. But even the security software around those like firewalls are going to need to be refreshed and upgraded which costs money. In the grand scheme of things, somewhere in the stack, something is constantly being upgraded and refreshed, and SaaS fits perfectly into that model.
I work at a large corporation. We had teams that were using all kinds of different collaborative tools. A LOT of teams were using Slack.

About four months ago, the edict came down, everybody was being moved to Teams. Usually you hear a lot of grumbling and lots of internal postings about how much better Slack or other tools are, this is a stupid move, etc.

This time? Exact opposite. People liked the integrating of most of their MS tools in once place. The transition was pretty smooth and people were happy about moving to Teams. Now, instead of using several different tools, I basically just use Teams now for most of my daily workflow.

I'm not sure how the move went at other companies, but it went a lot smoother than I thought it would here.
You're right, but that's only the case right now. Incredible effort has been and continues to be made on making PoS secure, scalable, and distributed.

I'm not aware of any insurmountable problems having been found. With Eth2.0 steadily approaching launch and other networks in various stages of progression, it seems increasingly unlikely we'll find one.

People are objective driven so I guess money is an easy objective to have. It's easy to measure, boosts social status, gives you freedom, etc.

Until you have FU money it takes a change of attitude to forget money. The people you surround yourself are as well important. Just spend some time with some artists and you'll be more like them.

Parts of me feels the same since I moved to a big city where in order to own a house I need to pay mortgage until I'm 60 even if I'm in top ~3% of earners. I guess it's the stress, the uncertainty of our world, the competition, the ego.
Even if it doesn't happen for each and every drug, that can easily be the trend on average. And it probably already happened with covid vaccines. Moderna comes out and says it will cost ~$30 per shot. Why not 3? And for others drugs, when price goes into thousands and don't have much competition that easily can be the case.
The intrinsic cost of a transaction is basically zero, the cost associated with Bitcoin is Smaug-style keeping people off your coins. There is no scaling algorithm and no scaling to date.

Believe it or not chargebacks and credit are good things. This you can find out if you ask literally anyone why they use their credit card instead of their debit card.

The distinction you're making between "solved" and "closely approximated" makes logical sense to me. However, if I'm interpreting the AlphaFold results correctly, this distinction isn't practically significant, right?

If you can approximate an algorithm with error that is "below the threshold that is considered acceptable in experimental measurements" (to quote another HN comment), then you have something as good as the algorithm itself for all intents and purposes.

Therefore the use of the word "solve" doesn't qualify as hype-rhetoric, and the distinction you're making does seem somewhat pedantic (even if technically true).

(I'm speaking as someone with only the tiniest amount of stats/ML experience, so I could be totally wrong!)
How do you deal with keeping your top level dependencies and exact versions of all of your dependencies of dependencies separate in a way that's sane and 100% reproduceable for a typical web app / repo that might not in itself be a Python package?

I'm in the same boat as you in that I'd like to keep using pip but the lack of a lock file is very dangerous because it doesn't guarantee reproduceable builds (even if you use Docker).

In Ruby, Elixir and Node the official package managers have the idea of a lock file. That is the only reason I ever look into maybe switching away from pip.

Running a pip freeze to generate a requirements.txt file doesn't work nicely when you use a requirements.txt file to define your top level dependencies.

I've been bitten by issues like this so many times in the past with Python where I forgot to define and pin some inner dependency of a tool. Like werkzeug when using Flask. Or a recent issue with Celery 4.3.0 where they forgot to version lock a dependency of their own and suddenly builds that worked one day started to break the next day. These sets of problems go away with a lock file.
Rent was $4800 a month? No wonder I don't know anyone who lives there anymore. 3 of my coworkers moved out in the last year, two permanently, one decided to be a temporary nomad but probably won't go back.

How is there bikeshedding? Almost all arguments people make against bitcoin are pointless. I.e. the fees being high, transaction time being low, transactions per second, ect

Blockchain is a disruptive technology on the same level as the invention of the Internet. It is the first global, transparent, immutable ledger. We are only just beginning discovery on what we can do/improve from here.
Can highly recommend these options. Very usable.

> How many people out there want to live a longer (no COVID) but miserable (no human contacts) life?

Almost everyone does if faced with that choice.

But almost nobody is weighing up their own lives against isolation as you have described, deciding they personally would rather die of Covid than spend a lot of time indoors in isolation.

The vast majority of people in favour of mingling with others are doing so on the assumption that they themselves almost certainly won't die or suffer long Covid. They weigh up risks of mingling against protecting someone else, usually nobody in particular except some misleading caricatures, which is a much easier decision in favour of taking risks.

> no human contacts

I have to wonder why people are living to that extreme. Even in the most heavy lockdowns in the UK, it's possible for people to have some human contacts.
I've read that Diet Coke still uses the flavor profile of New Coke. Coke Zero is the diet version closer to the original.

San Francisco, the city in a perpetual death spiral.

The number of bad "SF's gonna die!" takes on HN/twitter is so absurd I now read them with a "So bad it's good" type mindset. The number of times WSJ opinions alone have declared California dead is probably 20+.

The thing that will stop the oft remarked upon "death spiral" is, ahem, the fucking CA housing market. Where there are fluctuations in expensive asset prices, people see opportunity. If housing prices in SF drop by 5%, it's not like all the wealthy individuals who can buy just sit on the sidelines. Younger people with lesser means see opportunities to get rent control at a decent price etc. I'm looking forward to retractions of all these level zero takes when rent prices spike in July.

This is of course nothing new, for instance NY has gone through many ups and downs of its own and all along many in the media claimed "NY is dying!"
What does that Å mean? Never seen our letter been used in a scientific context.
Don’t ask customers about your idea
Tell that to the Iranians or to the people in Venezuela. Countries can be mis managed, currencies can be mis managed, people can be targeted (financial sanctions), traditional financial services are just not available in a lot of places.

To top it off, It's Gold vs BTC for store of value and Gold has many, many downsides as well that we just chose to ignore because it's a shiny metal and has been in use longer.
Co-founder of Clerky here :) It's generally less controversial for advisors because it's unlikely that an acquirer will want to retain the advisers for a company it's acquiring.
When it becomes impossible for artists, writers, and other culture creators to live in a city, I’d say yes. SF used to be an amazing haven for weirdos that shaped American art and culture. That’s all gone now.
You exclusively post e-foundation related articles, don't disclose any affiliation with them, and call them "haters".

Saying that PoS offers zero security seems a bit extreme but there's definitely a trade-off.

Is where you moved to safer to cycle in overall?
I think I don't often hear it in the context of C# and Rust maybe, or what I mean is, in the context of a multi-threaded environment, so in combination with a Thread Pool.

Say you used the thread pool model. And you receive 100 requests, and you have a thread pool of 50. Your first 50 requests go to your 50 threads, and the other 50 get queued up. After any of the running 50 requests make non-blocking IO, they release the thread back to the pool, and they yield themselves into an IO waiting queue. Then the scheduler takes from either the request queue or the IO waiting queue prioritizing one over the other as see fit. If any of the queues are full, then the system blocks and waits, dropping requests that'd come in during that time.

Or some similar models.

Is this just async/await that I described?
I'm glad I never moved there.
Protein Folding Explained
I get that people want this, I just don't get why. After 20 years of work as a sysadmin/coder/DBA, I've never even remotely wanted this.

Documentation is the key. Wikis. Code comments. Bug/issue trackers. I've never considered walking up to someone's desk, and talking to them, as something I need documented, and searchable.

And that's what slack/irc/IM/etc is to me. Walking up, and talking to someone at a desk.

Not to mention, if you want any REAL functionality with Slack, you have to pay. And you thereby outsource all backups, and additionally loads of confidential conversations to an external company.

Which then cuts you off if you cancel your account!

Most of the people I know who use Slack, use it "because that's why SV uses".

Exiting time
The groundwork is there, I don't know that anyone has written a client to implement it in a single gui. Today you'd dump the logs into a central repo (splunk/database/whatever) - likely pushed by a bot in the channels you want to log but there are also IRCd servers that will do logging - and users would search logs there while chatting in the main client.

I'd imagine someone could write an extension to Hexchat to integrate it directly into the client.

Oh I didn’t realize Dan was an auditor. Which of the big ones does he work at? KPMG? Deloitte? PwC?

This is a classic strategy employed by scammers to legitimize a scam. You pick a prominent individual and you make the fraud work for them, so they can tell other people it’s legit.

Their last auditor quit, half way through the audit. No audit, no legitimacy, period.
Sympy is great for this, because you can manipulate the equations symbolically, cancel terms, and then convert the result to a numerical routine using lambdify.

In my case, I'd build up a model of a motor control system using subsystems (motor model, inverter, current sensors, delay elements, noise sources, etc). Then design a feedback/feedforward control system (eg. PID) and connect that in as another block.

Each block has simulation code associated with it, and a matching symbolic sympy transfer function from each input to each output was derived.

When you connect them together with various feedback loops, it creates a directed graph that it then resolves using NetworkX to find the various loops, and using Mason's rule to solve the system transfer functions. For discrete time systems cycles were automatically resolved by inserting additional delay elements.

Each system composed internally of such parts could also be used as a single part in a larger feedback system, so for example, you can build up a current control loop around your motor and inverter, and then plug that as a subsystem into a velocity control loop.

You only have to write out the symbolic model of the base level components (inductors, resistors, etc). The equation for each transfer function along each signal path gets built up by Sympy, using the normal rules; for example a feedback loop with gain A becomes 1/(1+A). For a big system the equation gets quite complicated to write out in full.

Once you've assembled your system that way, you'll have a lot of parameters to tune. You can run the the resulting system in simulation and play with it but for tuning many variables at once, you'll want a more robust solution.

So from control theory we can derive certain objectives that we want to maximize, and constraints that we want to satisfy. The constraints might include a maximum value on the transfer function from a noise input to the motor current, or something like that, and of course Nyquist stability. The objective might include minimizing sensitivity to disturbances within a frequency band or minimizing time to converge to a target.

In such cases, you could perhaps simulate the system and derive those numerically, but it would be slow to do that. Much faster to solve them symbolically -- the expression for a sensitivity is easy when you know the transfer functions; you'll just have to take some limits as certain terms go to zero or infinity and take derivatives of those and so on. Then you get a function of your tuning parameters to optimize under constraints.

That can then get passed to an optimizer routine, to solve for your tuning parameters. Then you simulate the system to check that the performance is good.
False. If you support effective government, welfare state or not, learning of this mistake should be considered a sign that they may have hit the right balance between spending on implementation and spending on platinum grade superpowered mistake detectors. One big obstacle to a welfare state is the unhinged obsession with not giving anyone anything they don’t deserve, which leads to idiotic programs that spend more money drug testing applicants than helping them.

in germany (and likely other european countries) we have a two tier system for higher education, consisting of universities and "applied universities", with the latter focusing on applied skills and the former focusing on research

While it isn't codified, we effectively have this in the US as well.

Most of the "brand name" universities, plus the flagship state universities, conduct research and grant various doctoral degrees.

Then we have the middle-tier colleges (state and private) that grant masters (often only professional degrees like nursing, MBAs, etc).

And thousands of Baccalaureate-only and 2-year community colleges.

Also, in the US, "university" generally indicates a post-graduate degree granting institution. And "college" usually refers to a 2-year and Baccalaureate-only school. But, also not codified and there are notable exceptions (ex: The College of William & Mary is a top-notch full university who's name pre-dates the convention).
