Well, their figure is performance per core-watt, which... isn't really a meaningful statistic:

"The M1 chip is roughly the equivalent of 10,000 CoreMarks in EEMBC terms; divide this by eight cores and 15W per core, and that is less than 100 CoreMarks per Watt."

Unless they think that the M1 is drawing 120W?
Not to digress too far but the general public at large won't even push to get funding for their own direct interests (e.g. COVID related stimulus right now). I don't know how we expect to get the general public to push for science.

Much of our society runs on pure momentum and very few people have the power to slightly shift the direction of that momentum.

One of the other large radio astronomy observatories in Greenback is also hurting for funding from what I understand. I've worked on a few collaborative research efforts utilizing the data and working with the observatory and the picture painted doesn't look promising there either. That may have changed more recently given the state of Arecibo.
Another Mysterious Monolith Suddenly Appears – This Time in Romania
Except there is money to be made in the green energy industry. There's no money to be made building a giant radio telescope. Sometimes corporations have a need for scientific institutions and their patronage helps keep the lights on but I really can't think of any way that can apply to something meant to stare at the stars. What could help is designing a radio telescope that have both scientific use and military use like China's telescope in Argentina. You have one user willing to pay plenty for time on it and another user that is just happy to get some work done.
I just don't see it. Bitcoin could be forked to no longer use PoW if it became an existential threat.

My problem with the most surveys is vague questions.

Do you like meeting new people? Well, it depends on circumstances, situation and what kind of people these are.

Do I always learn something new? Nope. No way any human being can be always learning. So why even ask such a question?
did you use mms in 2019-2020? where are you?

This is the reason I struggle so much with distance learning during corona. Usually I find partners in my classes to review the lecture with and work on the assignment in parallel. I get so much drive, energy and fun just by not being alone and discussing concepts together. Since I am in my masters, I can freely choose the lectures I want and often don't know anyone in class and rely on making friends in the first week(s). So I am way more on my own during corona and feel like I am fighting alone against the quite demanding lectures. It's not easy and it's just not as fun anymore. I feel like I am only trying to survive the exams without the drive to learn and explore.
You can use staking pools as well to stake less than 32 Eth.
It's the same concept as PoW. If you have a lot of money, you can buy ASICS and stake for yourself (making you richer). If you don't, you'll join a mining pool and earn money relative to your hash power.
PoW makes the rich richer as well, that's life.
With PoS, you have at least skin in the game (your stake).

The limitation is only from Big Sur. AWS chose to do it on Catalina so that customers may not experience a big change later on. This means any provider who uses < Big Sur is in compliance.

Without Linux, they would've lasted longer but still would've lost out on price/performance against x86 and Intel's tick-tock cadence well before Intel's current stumble. We might all have wound up running Windows Server in our datacenters.
I agree that the impact of Arecibo and these kinds of installations is actually very outsized relative to the number of FTE employees who directly work on it. The larger scientific community are the ones who booked time on the telescope after all.

My point is that politically none of that matters. No one is getting elected because people got to book telescope time for their research. The incentives are not correctly aligned to support research and science.

To go back to the F-35 comparison: the NSF has annual funding of $8.3 billion. The F-35 program is projected to cost $21.7 billion per year through its lifespan (2001-2070). I bet it winds up even higher than that, because nothing has yet changed to prevent endless overruns.

So the F-35 makes jobs and maybe a little bit of interesting work gets done as a result of the project despite itself. We as a society could buy so much more than yet another war machine (and maybe not even a useful one) with that money and effort. What could NSF do with another $13 billion every year?
I have to disagree with this idea that Apple Computer is concerned with performance on hardware that's being shared through a service like AWS. If Apple has any concrete concerns, it's that developers would prefer to pay Amazon for the time they need on a Mac rather than purchase an entire Mac for themselves. It's an anti-developer move.

This idea that Apple is worried about an EC2 instance replacing a personal Mac is way, way, out there. What is much more likely is that a developer buys a lower cost, not Apple laptop and uses that to connect to a Mac on EC2 for the few tasks that require a Mac. Again, it's an move _against_ developers, it's not designed to make the lives of developers any easier.
No you can't.

You can't do anything with Eth2 that is locked. Some pool staking services offer a token for each ETH staked, but you can not use the staked ETH.
That sounds good because I think most people are more likely to "waste their time" at night rather than as soon as they get out of bed in the morning. You just don't get up and immediately start eating cake and watching Netflix.
But only as a second-order effect. This will lead to needing to buy more Apple hardware to support such a service but it's the service provider that rakes in the cash (or doesn't because people don't need 24h) as a result of this EULA.
One startup success, some profitable projects. Founded many which failed, invested in some failures, worked in several startups that failed.

1. Dishonest and manipulative cofounder. He pissed off every partner with aggressive negotiation, blatant lies, and bad deals. He was the type to agree to a deal, then back out and offer a worse one.

2. Founders were not committed. They invested a lot, sure, but didn't close deals. The key partner was rich but technically incompetent and didn't take the joint venture seriously. Project was simple but it dragged on for over a year, and neither party committed to get it done.

3. Good product. But founder oversold it. It didn't meet expectations, the blame was pushed to staff, eventually imploded.

4. Good product, good demand, but unit price economics didn't work.

5. Company was acquired for a profit. Acquiring company had no plans what to do with it. They cut off the primary target market immediately upon acquisition, lost a good chunk of sales. Nobody wanted to take responsibility for it and it died slowly after 3 years, and likely split the parent company as well.

6. Feature bloat. Hit crisis mode where everyone did everything and got nothing done. Pushing bad code to production, which broke. Had progress report meetings every 4 hours by the end of the project before everyone left.

7. Product was built. Sales co-founder lost nerve, despite a major airline showing interest, and abandoned it.

8. Company faked traction, e.g. buying products from the users and justifying it as marketing costs. Main investor lost nerve and pulled out. Founder could have saved it but was exhausted and pulled the plug.

9. Good product. Great team. Huge market. But one of the heads had very aggressively pushed the schedule, screwing over the entire product development plan. E.g. 6 months to release. Marketing wanted 2 months, QA wanted 2 months, leaving development with just 2 months. Dev ran on agile, QA ran on waterfall because they had to deal with visas and all. Crisis mode and meltdown.

10. Experienced, intelligent founders. Good business plan. But no budget and founder ran out of cash to keep it going. Would likely have gone well if founders had the money. Founder went on to do a startup about getting funding and it's still going.

tldr: A lot of this is just human problems. I think the point of failure for many startups is just stopping. Too many founders start a startup because it's to stroke their personal ego and once they have one, it gets neglected. Most people want some kind of passive income thing and won't commit to their startups.
Good idea. Out of interest, what layout do you have?
Why not just engage in this conversation in good faith? It's very unbecoming to act as if you're a neutral party who can't understand tech jargon, then drop a dense paragraph about TCP/UDP to back up your point.
“You mention fixing Apache”

I used Apache as an example because 1. it is ancient, and as such rudimentary remains of early write support (e.g. PUT, DELETE) might still be found in its architecture, like leg bones in a whale; and 2. because it is nearly ubiquitous on the web.

That said, Apache is a horrific bloated mess in general UX terms and end-user usability in particular, so wouldn’t be my first choice on which to refound a modern open web. Lessons can be learnt, the whole lot can be done better.

“does that mean every Apache server must accept edits from every anonymous contributor?”

I assume this is a rhetorical flourish and not actually a serious question. Even Apache, awful as its UI is, knows how to mediate read and/or write access for both individuals and groups. Look at how Dropbox manages access permissions and sharing. Now imagine achieving the same without Dropbox as middleman.

“Seems odd to blame the browser if it's really the server side that is what needs to be overhauled, to revive the open web.”

It has to be both. Done together. Because if they don’t talk fluently and seamlessly with each other, ordinary people are not going to use it and then we’re back to an elite technocracy and a mass pool of everyone else; precisely the conditions that gave rise to FANG(T) in the first place.

..

But perhaps instead of describing an Open Web in terms of its technology, we should try to describe it in terms of its people? Model how its users both want and need to interact with one another, and then describe the technology to fit and facilitate that.
Loans are overcollateralized and collateral is automatically liquidated once the collateral ratio falls below the liquidation threshold. Eg. for eth as collateral the liquidation threshold is 75%, meaning $75 borrowed for $100 in collateral.
Compound itself has survived multiple violent price crashes and lenders didn't lose anything.
The potential of the older Intel CPUs with better thermals are really not that relevant if that product does not exist in a MacBook format. The MacBook offerings are much better with the M1 and that is the comparison to make because that is the reality.

> When people claim Ethereum is turing complete, it means that anyone can launch a program into it, and the "swarm" runs the program. (...) Ethereum has baked in protocols so that the distributed result of millions of nodes running a program reaches a stasticial consensus.

Usually the reason to run something on more than one computing unit is to achieve additive gains - like getting results faster, or processing more data in the same amount of time. This however sounds like a million computers computing the exact same thing. Why would one want to do that? It's a serious question - I'm having trouble imagining a generic use case.
And what about the costs of then converting eth for each person to a useable currency? What if you were to make a mistake and send money to the wrong person? What if someone hacks into whereever you are storing your eth and you lose them?

I mean I get what you are saying, but you just leave out all the pesky little details which at the end of the day are very important and why there are costs associated to banking.
I'm using KDE for years, and it's a great collection of software. The main issue I have about performances is Akonadi, it's eating CPU, memory and lot of disk space (and I have disabled files indexing in settings, as I don't need it, so I don't get why it's taking GiO), so I often just kill the server and it works well after that.

By the way, does anybody know a method to disable it cleanly, or at least make it for resources friendly? The article I've found after quick search are years old and not relevant anymore.
As someone who works in Sales Commissions this was a great read. We do things quite differently such as yearly targets vs quarterly. These suggestions are great and straightforward to calculate until you have a large sales team. I wonder how many companies use a system to calc commissions vs using excel. We personally use excel and it can be daunting at times, but allows for more plan flexibility.

Why not include your family in your 'me time'?

I always had my children with me when I was doing 'me things'. Including reading, video games, woodworking, hunting, hiking, and even meditation. For reference, I'm a super introverted person, and really need alone time to recharge my batteries.

It's a nice way to instill values while also enjoying them while they're small.

I mean, they will grow up eventually (really fast actually) and won't want to hang out with you at some point, so even if you "can't" do your 'me time' with them, you will have access to it again, eventually.

Be careful - I have seen many companies think this is the way and what happens is they lose all the dedicated customer support peeps because the "sales-y" customer reps schmooze with clients instead of solving problems; and frankly some clients love that.

Then you start seeing sales goals for the account managers, and a year later the entire team that used to be helping customers is really spending most of their time trying to upsell them on things they barely need - because its what their bosses bonus is based on.
I’m very skeptical or maintenance quotes. It’s very rare something actually costs the government what it was quoted. For all we know it would have kept the satellite alive for barely another year.
I struggle with this a lot and have been wondering recently what it is that causes it, so it's refreshing seeing such an article today and knowing it's not just me.

Seems that my hunch is at least somewhat correct, that I just want more "me time". I feel a bit bad in that I don't have a tough 12hr schedule like some but still exhibit this behavior. I think its partially due to the fact that a lot of other things I do outside of work, my mind doesn't perceive as restful/me-time. Ex. I enjoy running, but exercise still feels like an obligation more than a privilege. Combine that with other social/communal obligations and certain errands and a lot of my non-work time ends up being for fulfilling the demands of some other authority concept.

Then, I've let my hobbies wane over the years (especially in terms of what I can do inside during Covid) so the easiest thing I go to is just scrolling on my phone. Which feels like its for me but is ultimately really draining.

Trying a couple approaches to this.
1.) Anything BUT mindless browsing. Seriously, no guilt even if it's just a show on Netflix, buying one item at the store even though I "should" just batch shop, whatever as long as its self directed.
2.) Eek out that time and make it a priority, while still prioritizing sleep. Allow certain tasks that I "should" get done today to push out.
I would love to know how my survey responses change the recipient behavior.

If I say that I love meeting new people, will my gym invest into expanding the lounge area instead of buying a new barbell?
I think there's nothing wrong with running Windows on ARM, but the problem is that Apple's ARM chips are capable of desktop-grade performance and other ARM chips aren't.

If PC vendors like Dell and HP can get better-performing ARM chips then you can run Windows or Linux on them. Until those chips are available, desktop/laptop ARM is going to be a disappointment -- because of the hardware, not the software.

+1 for cooking for yourself. It is time well-spent, especially if your partner is into it. And it can save money and be much healthier than eating out! Especially if you make a little extra and supplement other meals.

Also, eating out takes a lot of time... driving to a place, sitting there waiting for waiters to return a credit card, etc. The alcohol is super marked-up. You don't know the ingredients of the food well, it's usually loaded with sugar and fats. I don't mean never do it, but living that way is miserable.

And especially in the pandemic, eating out means tons of containers to deal with. Even if you push just push everything in the trash, it's still like a half a bag's worth. And if are a good doobie and wash the containers, recycle, save the leftovers, etc., it's nearly as much time as if you made it yourself. Again, not that you never should, but save it for special occasions if you wanna have a long, above-average healthspan.

This is frustratingly common with traditional surveys. In our conversations with user researchers we found that researchers often know what they want to ask, but they end up breaking it up into loads of different (often vague) questions in order to retrofit their research objective into survey format. Because you're less limited in scope with an open-survey like OpinionX, you're able to much more directly set the direction and question of a survey. At the end of the day, it's up to the researcher to write the best question possible, but we feel that OpinionX gives more breathing room and allows them to ask more directly if needed.
No, he means that the OP has a cropped version of the image and the “counterfeiter” has an uncropped version of the same image.

If the counterfeiter really stole the images how could he have a less cropped version.

Maybe Amazon also sees things like this and decided they can’t tell who stole from whom.

I don’t that is the case here but it is possible Amazon gets all sorts of notices like this from people who aren’t as genuine and may be lying to remove a competitor.

"Desktop" software hasn't caught up to the idea that you can have a network connection that a) goes away and b) can be expensive. What's to stop a native application from downloading a huge update as soon as you connect to 3/4/5/G? IOS and Android have ways of controlling this and mobile apps are written with this expectation from the ground up. Which is why I expect OSX will continue to converge with IOS/IPad OS and provide a more managed environment for apps to run in.

You're probably referencing this fuck up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_DAO_(organization)

The huge advantage of smart contracts is that they are supposed to be trustless - you don't need to necessarily trust your business partners because contract is set in stone ... code and will be executed exactly as agreed beforehand.

In reality, you move your trust in your understanding of the code. But then when 18 000+ (probably highly technical) people investing $50 million don't spot the bug in the code, then it calls the whole "trustless" concept into question.
You need to put in a little effort to learn new things. Your comments are not going to age well. Your comments will read like somebody complaining/rejecting email in the early 90's.
You are missing the point. The S&P 500 and most large mutual funds are not anywhere near as diversified as typical investors believe them to be and have become less so over the past few years. Investors buy them for the perception of great diversification as well as the ease of purchase/sale.

Diversity in number of holdings works well if the holdings are not heavily overweight/underweight and are not highly correlated. So RSP (equal weight S&P) would meet the definition of well diversified in respect to weighting. Unfortunately, equities have been trending towards an increasing degree of correlation which can't be adjusted for when an etf is constructed mechanically based on market cap.

I always urge friends, family etc. to look at the components of the various funds and etfs they hold as they will be shocked to find that, in aggregate, a significant portion of their position is in 10 or 15 stocks. For some that may be acceptable, especially if they hold other non highly correlated asset classes. For others, they need to take a little more time or consult a professional to research how to better balance that risk. As just one example, VXF attempts to capture the return of the non-S&P 500 equities.
