Ripple isn't really a crytocurrency, it's certainly not a decentralized cryptocurrency.

I don't think this is likely to send a signal that the US is "anti-crypto", though I'll have to see the litigation to know for sure.

When ripple was created many people in the cryptocurrency space had or were considering doing something similar and many reached the conclusion that what ripple went on to do would be unambiguously unlawful.

More enforcement can actually send a very positive signal: Lack of enforcement goes on to create a lemon market where bad conduct flourishes. It's extremely difficult to be in business against someone that can bring in billions in funding with almost no real obligations by deceiving unsophisticated members of the public. The lack of enforcement also sends an ambiguous signal that maybe more legitimate efforts will be prosecuted but just haven't yet because they haven't gotten around to it as evidenced by the lack of prosecution of many of the more obviously sketchy efforts.
To do that, you need to be willing to delete code you worked hard on. Lots of people aren't good at that.

I don't understand why this hasn't happen sooner as it's been 8 years since their release. Ripple is a centralized, managed network. It's nothing like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or many other decentralized projects. Ripple is not a cryptocurrency.

For years I've told loved ones, friends, and anyone with a passing interest in the nascent space to avoid Ripple like the plague.
Double blind is the wrong term here. Multi-factor would be appropriate.
I don't think that's more accurate because it fails to make the substantive distinction between these two provisions. One of them has huge public support and has been debated publicly for months and shot down repeatedly by congressional leadership while the other was written by a Disney lobbyist in secret and revealed at the last possible moment before the grassroots could mount a response.
Voats problem was it was boring. This is why it failed. As far as I could tell they couldn't start or prop up anything like a Pizzagate. It was a poor mans 4chan.

They had a real opportunity in 2015 to be the next Reddit, but seem to have missed it. To many outages, I felt like they didn't embrace Venture Capital as well as they could. They still created something. And it's easy to criticise I guess. But it sucks being stuck with Reddit.
>Scientists have career-advancing reasons to have their opinions and research--whether confirmed by evidence and peer reviewed or not--distributed by the media.

Couldn't agree with this more. The number of ill-conceived pre-print "studies" I've seen get released this year is disappointing. Tons of studies with either a tiny sample size and questionable methods (medicines given very late in the progression of the disease, control groups whose demographics don't remotely match the test group, etc.). And of course those studies get reported on with no indication they were poorly done.

> The car industry is among the most regulated industries in the United States.

I work in medical device manufacturing, and it's not even close. The auto industry has regulations, yes, but it's not nearly as regulated many other industries in the United States.

That said, regulations are walls that keep out cash-poor newcomers.

There's a good chance Apple will fail at this thing, but it won't be because of the regulations.
Anglocentric chauvinism has always had a gross habit of looking at other cultures in a patronizing way. Though to be fair other cultures are guilty of this too when viewing those different than them.

Ever since antiquated Orientalism, it's rarely been an honest curiosity but more of a high-nosed "what's wrong with them" or seen as an exotic escape from the West's own mundanity.

The latter of course often ends in disillusionment, prompting generalized complaints about the object of fetish (if you lurk on any expat forums you may know what I'm talking about).

It can be really annoying to other people, specially when they have to either live up to some stupid assumption or defend against it.

Who is talking about where an idea originated? Many of these ideas predate written language. Nazis didn't invent racism either, are you trying to say that racism isn't a Nazi idea? The context is clearly that it's an idea associated with them.
I agree that it doesn't seem like the most efficient way to have a conversation, so if that's the goal, I don't see it working. It also doesn't make much sense for having a group call with one or two people.

However, I could see some value in making public chat rooms that people could join. This way 50 people join a room to talk about a particular subject and naturally split off into separate groups within the room. It would be sort of like a being at a party, where you could walk around and mingle and network with different groups of people. It would be a fun way to interact with new people, especially in current times when everyone is locked inside.

So, I see it less as a business tool, and more like VRChat (although without all the crazy avatars and games) where strangers go to socialize.

Here’s some counter-argument psuedo-code:

// v1, mixing layers of abstraction
x = a if exists, else first()
y = b if exists, else second()
result = third(x,y)

// v2, abstraction
result = getResult(a,b)

In v1, we have the semantics of x and y, so we understand that a “result” is obtained through the acquisition of x and y. Whether we need to understand this is a judgement call. But v2 opens a different “failure to understand” modality: “getResult” is so blackboxed that the only thing it really accomplished is indirection, without improving readability.

I love Clean Code, but I think it sometimes prematurely favors naming a new function and the resultant indirection.

The point is that they don’t need to. They are not selling advertising, they are selling privacy as a service. E.g. Apple maps breaks apart your journey on their side so they can’t reconstruct your journey from a to b.

People still commute by car in Europe because it's often much faster than public transport, but generally Europeans were more successful in preventing sprawl wastelands where you can't survive without a car.

In the US there are many places where the next supermarket is twenty minutes by car away and literally impossible to reach on a bike without getting run over. In contrast, even in the smallest town I've lived in, with just 20k residents, there where three supermarkets and two specialty stores in walking distance.

Newborn Californians won't ever be able to purchase an ICE car, because they'll be banned entirely in 2035.
Sure. I actually only bought one initially because I found it on slickdeals of all places. Gourmia 8qt. Specifically, this one - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Gourmia-8-Qt-Stainless-Steel-Digi...

I also bought this one because of a sale. I think the same company makes both because of how similar they are. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08DKYBTPH/

It's definitely big enough to cook an entire chicken. If a single person were asking, I'd probably recommend a 6qt or even 4 just for space saving reasons.

Buy the kind with a basket, not the kind with doors and pull out trays. I had this one also, https://m.ninjakitchen.com/exclusive-offer/SP101WBKT/ninja-f..., and I hate everything about it and sold it finally. Cooks worse, impossible to clean, hard to shake. With a style similar to the first two links, just pull the basket handle, shake, reinsert. Easy.
I tried it and got constant downward view drift, i.e. it kept panning down.

I think what bjoli is getting at is that in an ideal world with lazy sequences you don't have any iteration over any of the intermediate "collections" until some step occurs that requires the entire collection. I put collections in quotes because they aren't really collections, they're generators that produce an element on demand.

So you never really iterate over more than one collection; you only have one iteration where you successively ask each generator to produce a single element and then apply a function to it. For example, if you only asked for the first element of a lazy sequence formed by a series of maps, you would (in theory, in practice see my note about chunks) never iterate over any of the intermediate sequences and only ever examine the first element of each of them.

However, the act of asking a generator to produce an element (that is unwrapping a thunk) has overhead of its own and that's the overhead that a transducer would be removing (not iteration itself in the case of lazy sequences). This can have far more overhead than a procedure call because of bad cache locality (in the absence of fusion optimizations you're pointer chasing and potentially generating garbage for each thunk). Clojure tries to get around that by often (but not always) chunking its thunks, in which case we do have multiple rounds of iteration on smaller chunks, but never the entire sequence (unless the entire sequence is smaller than a chunk).
Scientific consensus is rarely wrong.

There have been 3 major cases in the 20th century that I'm aware of where well-established theories turned out to be wrong.

1) Plate tectonics (dismissed until 1962)

2) The Bohr model of the atom, confirmed by the colours of light absorbed and emitted by ionised helium - which turned out to be wrong

3) The Sommerfeld extension of Bohr's model.

Both (2) and (3) were thought to be correct because they gave predictions correct to 4 decimal places. This turned out to be a co-incidence(!!) and their theories turned out to be wrong and replaced by Dirac's model.

Given the amount of science done in the 20th century, I think that's a pretty good record.
Every piece of pseudo-scientific, anti-semitic trash that ended up on the conference table (as lunch time reading) during my stint at the aforementioned think-tank has strongly influenced how I approach topics such as this. The ability to dissemble and justify anti-semitism (or anti-Mormonism, or anti-theism, or anti-anything) is difficult to appreciate if you haven't literally been at the receiving end of it.

Like I said, there may be some merit there. But much like claimed inventions that bare suspicious relationships to perpetual motion machines, you develop a more sophisticated filter for this kind of stuff when exposed to it. Whether the material is right or wrong is beside the point. If it has merit then invariably it will come in a different package sooner rather than later. Time is scarce, and attention is oxygen for people with an ax to grind.

Of course, reasonable people can disagree. It's a judgment call. But we all apply these sorts of qualitative filters, whether we're willing to admit it or not, and I happen to be basing mine on [what I believe to be] some experiential wisdom, which I'm sharing.

Like I said, the notion that schizophrenia and auditory hallucinations could be plausible explanations for the experience (and credibility) of historical prophets (as well as for oracles and other spiritual figures) is perfectly legitimate. In fact, personally I'd be surprised if there wasn't a substantive connection. But, honestly, what's the purpose of trying to analyze in tedious detail Islam (or Christianity, or w'ever) in that manner? Only with a hopelessly naive and simplistic conception of religion could it matter; organized religions are only nominally predicated on such stories. On the balance of probabilities, anyone expending such an effort invariably has suspect motives--not necessarily malicious, just not well suited to scientifically constructive discourse. There are many other avenues of exploration that don't involve such a conspicuous preoccupation. Ditto regarding a paper discussing the "entheogen theory of the rise of Mormonism."

Yeah, it's hard for me to envision what the next iteration on Reddit could be. Maybe there isn't one and instead we're seeing a resurgence of forum silos again that's winning back the mainstream.

For example, I was pleasantly surprised to see Discourse have so much success and high profile roll outs (like Boing Boing and Blizzard). It turns out that everyone was ready for a modern revitalization of the forum experience, not that forums were doomed.

I think I'd liken it to the explosion of Slack/Discord popularity. It would have been a mistake to look at the slow death of IRC and conclude "I guess people don't like chatting anymore."

This weird news source appears to be biased against anything that says Russians might have done something and saying "maybe not?". It reads like propaganda and doesn't really discuss anything about the specifics of the hack while accusing reports of the same.

There is a serious lack of good reporting on this subject. We need a communicator that understands the details of what has been put out and what it would take to do a supply chain attack like this.

I agree that it could for sure be 1 in 20 DEFCON attendants. But the motive and risk don't match. It's a state actor, very likely. Russian is also VERY likely.

I would need to look into the authors history more to say if they have a clue or not. I question why two of them needed to be involved to write this pointless handful of paragraphs.
Positioning is vital and our B2C startup got much better traction once we figured it out. The way we did was testing a lot of slogans and audiences with Facebook ads and seeing what converted and then retained long-term.

Also, I find the template statement to be clunky and not as useful. Both in my current startup, and previous startup - HubSpot - I doubt any employee could recite this contrived positioning statement. And if you can't remember it easily then it's not going to be used much.

At HubSpot our positioning was simple: "All-in-one marketing software". Our target audience was "mid-market", defined as 10-500 employees. That's it and every employee knew that cold and why it mattered.

Cost savings, factories needed a revamp for new product lines, and Nikon is in a financial slump (an understatement at the moment. It was inevitable.

So far, it hasn't impacted a lot of their product line that was already being manufactured outside of Japan. But it does create a stain in the minds of those who know to look or have been on the Nikon train for years. Everyone always looked at their products with a level of quality that's going to be questioned now.

Nikon has made some great strides in products recently. The mirrorless race has been progressing fast, and optically Nikon is in good shape. Their biggest issues are financials, professional markets to an AF system that's not as good as the competition, and really really bad marketing orders from their Japan office.

Sony and Canon have managed to pickup so much momentum with great marketing and Nikon is moving the other direction.

But the "death of Nikon" warnings have been going on since I first picked up a camera in the early 2000's. They've always been behind the curve the in digital, and caught up when it was just too late and Sony had already dominated the mirrorless market while everyone else was still on DSLRs.

If the break even target is 10 years with no interest accrued, we are talking about $5.47 a day in revenue needs to be generated (plus the overhead of managing the lot itself).

How many paid parking lots do you see that are full on a regular basis? Are they really generating revenue even half time?
