I know Bitcoin is all a hype, but isn’t so anything else? At least for me I can go through the paper and the source code and understand exactly how it works and what its implication are. With other systems this is either simply not available (banking systems) or its too complicated to understand.

Sure it’s hype, but so is fashion, entertainment, art, etc. and we all live off these things.
The owner of the domain pointed the traffic where he wanted it to go.

The protocols are working as intended.
Borg you can reconfigure the chunkier settings to tune memory and space usage depending on what type of files you're backing up (large VMs, small text files, etc)

There's some notes in GitHub issues with some recommendations

There are also implications for backup speed so I'm not sure such a naive test tells much (and maybe the other programs tested have similar configurables?)

On another note, for encryption, I just copy the key to LastPass or make an aes 7z and upload to Dropbox/Google Drive. In big cases, the data gets synced locally to devices with the client installed
Not really because the title is claiming the lawyer said that - which he didn't. The underlying articles merely claim that is what he is implying with his legal argument.

Of course none of that is explained, and the reader is left to believe that the DOJ is actually making this argument in court - which they are not.
Bitcoin's price has become a self fulfilling prophecy at this point. There have been so many stories about it hitting 100'000, 50'000, even 500'000, that these current prices seem "low" in comparison. i.e. the voluminous news stories hyping up the price have psychologically anchored a high value bitcoin in many investor's minds.

Also, there is a major, major element of FOMO happening here. People are home, isolated, bored, reading more news, and reading of "Bitcoin Millionaires" etc, and of course, they want in on that action too. It's not dissimilar to what's happening with Tesla.

That’s a very interesting idea, and I think you totally could. You run some benchmarks, measure the bit flips, and after enough runs you’d be able to say with a degree of confidence what your altitude is. I wonder though what accuracy could be achieved with this?
I'd just like to mention that if the community was determined enough we'd

1. Demand removal of analytics software
2. If no action, fork and re-publish.

Obviously folks who aren't technical/didn't see these threads wouldn't get the benefit of an update.

This is something where an explicitly pro-opensource and anti-tracking (or at least minimal tracking) policy by the browser extension stores would be valuable. The store itself could recommend the no-tracking community version instead. Of course this would have to happen on an individual basis and be carefully managed as so not to be abused.
These files are more widely available than people think. For California for example, an agency called OSHPD makes available a set of documents called “charge masters” which have similar information.

This appears to be a little different bc it looks like they are listing an insurer-specific (e.g., an Aetna negotiated price). That would be very very unusual.

However the caveat on the linked page suggests that maybe that data isn’t what it appears to be.

Regardless, this kind of price transparency (even if the negotiated prices are available) is not obviously something which is going to bring prices down.
Similarly, I've found one of the most useful questions to pose for each option is "What would need to be true for this to be a good idea?". This is helpful whether you're initially supportive of or opposed to the idea. In either case, you have to be explicit about the conditions/facts you think are necessary for success and why they're either true or false, which tends to lead to a more concrete discussion with more space for agreement and shared understanding. If you're supportive, this makes it easier to acknowledge that those conditions/facts might not necessarily be true. If you're opposed, this makes it easier to appreciate the idea and work on it despite your reservations.
I still think nothing beats Legend of the Mystical Ninja on Super NES. If you are playing a two player game and obtain a password, it's a full 60 characters you'll have to enter. For comparison, the Guardian Legend was 32 characters (like Faxandu) and Metroid was 24. I never played Magic of Scheherazade; looks like that weights in at 43 characters.
I've considered using an AMD CPU instead of Intel's Xeon on the primary desktop computer, but even low-end Ryzen Threadripper CPUs have TDP of 180W, which is a bit higher than I'd like. And though ECC is not disabled in Ryzen CPUs, AFAIK it's not tested in (or advertised for) those, so one won't be able to return/replace a CPU if it doesn't work with ECC memory, AIUI, making it risky. Though I don't know how common it is for ECC to not be handled properly in an otherwise functioning CPU; are there any statistics or estimates around?
From the link you provided, it seems Glade is not recommended because there exist better alternatives (in the view of the Gnome project, I can't comment on it).

I worked at a unicorn that implemented the RFC process. I found it extremely useful for solidifying my own thinking.

It didn't work well at the organization because gate keepers would come in, criticize your design, but offer no alternatives. Process can't fix poor culture.
I would also add that Row Hammer Attacks are much harder on ECC.

When I first tried to replicate the row hammer attack I was not getting any results. Turns out I was doing this on ECC. On non ECC memory the same test easily replicated the row hammer attack.

I don’t think I see the parallel here. Why compare it to fashion or entertainment rather than to currencies or securities or commodities?
Most org structures have this sort of decision escalation process built in, even if it's not explicit. If a team fails to arrive at a decision, their boss should step in to pick a direction.

This is one of the many hidden problems in flat org structures: Without an obvious person to break up disagreements and point teams in the same direction, you end up with small groups of people working in different directions or even working against each other. In practice, someone like the CEO usually steps in and overrules these messes, but it's not efficient to have to escalate all the way to the CEO.

It's also important to build teams that can disagree but commit to decisions they don't particularly like. At some point, it's more important that the teams work together on anything rather than debate endlessly.

> MATLAB is slow and Octave is even slower while working with matrices.

I'm curious what you mean with this. Matlab was always fast with matrices (but my experience is now from 2 decades ago). The thing that was slow was loops. That is:

for i = 1:100
c(i) = a(i) + b(i);
end

would always be slower than this:

c = a .+ b;

The trick in my work was to always find matrix/vector operations that were equivalent to my desired loop and conditional structures. I could improve execution by 100x or more for many programs doing this.
Right, the domain owner should care. Not OP.
Does anyone understand the market enough to explain who the sellers of bitcoin are? The daily volumes are several times the mined quantity so there must be people/institutions quite willing to part with their coins at their current prices.

Is it - people who had a specific price target in mind and are selling? People who need liquidity? Some other big aspect I am missing?

The base asks via their votes. If they re-elect the legislator, the legislator will continue to vote the same way.

Most legislators have high approval ratings among their constituents, and practically unanimous among their party in their district. It's always other people's legislators who are the problem.

Keep in mind that Intel lies about its TDP.
Warning for others: HN seems to be pro-armchair diagnosis on vitamin D supplements, which makes sense given the demographic and stereotypical lifestyle factors. Vitamin D is fat soluble. It can build up in your system over time. Normal levels are 30-50 ng/ml, and you can get your levels tested by asking for the test whenever you get a blood draw or your physical. Taking vitamin D supplements at high levels indefinitely without medical testing is dangerous (albeit a slowly building danger over months that is relatively easily reversed).

Anecdata: I was taking 5000 IU daily for a year, and my levels went up to 79 ng/ml. I stopped taking it for 6 months, and my levels went down to 47 ng/ml.
RAM is not as reliable as you think. Some ECC memory hardly ever finds an error, some machines see them at a very consistent rate, e.g. 50 errors per TB-day. That would translate to 1-2 errors per day in a 32 GB PC. Without ECC you cannot know in which bucket you are.
True. That requires different incentives. But we have to move from a mindset of competition to collaboration first. Everyone building on the same platform and merging source code back unless there is a really good reason to fork and compete.
Not relevant since people use debit cards all day long.

To your first point, Dapper is heavily used within this framework. Being able to pass or return models from a query is amazing!

My goal with this was to allow a developer to create their models and be up and running with a RESTful API in hours, without needing to configure each controller route.

The UK had a go of it with eLORAN for a while, but no one else (France, Netherlands) seemed to have been interested, and so it was shelved AFAICT:

A government or three (NATO?) have to decide on a system (eLORAN or other), publish standards, and buy a bunch of equipment (transmit and receivers) to kick start things.
> How hard would it be for the government to issue an edict like "from 2025 all research must be published in an open access journal to receive public funding"?

In France it is more or less like that. You have to upload your publications to http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr you want them to "count" (from the point of view of public research).
> This is a great news

The journal aspect, regrettably not. The publishers are trying to shut down sci-hub, and to disincentivize policies of mandatory open-access. And they have a long history of getting in a door with tolerable cost and terms, and then each time you need to renew the contract, costs are higher, terms are worse, and both are bundled so "there's nothing you can do about it, is there?". Combine those ethics with Indian governance's potential for kickbacks, and sadly, not good news.
I see where you are coming from. I would like to add two points. First, I have rarely seen only one approach to "it works". There are always more than one ways to "will it work?". Second, in order to get around the definition of "working" - I encourage people to specify success criteria upfront. Now, even if the definition of success criteria change later - they are all transparent. Everyone involved in the process has accountability and responsibility to oversee the right success criteria, change of success criteria.
Second generation build tool – definition of perfection?
First generation build systems were started by Stu Feldman in 1976. The latest build systems, e.g. gradle, tup, redo, etc. are still first generation. They all require a human-{written, debugged, maintained} script to tell the tool what to do.
Second generation build systems contain some AI that makes script generation automatic.
So what would make such a build tool perfect?

I posted my comment slightly in jest, because since I wear mostly G-Shocks myself, the true 'watch snobs' would look at my watches the same way I view the Apple Watch...as a toy people put on their wrist because they want a toy, and not to tell time.

Most people who wear Apple Watch have it either as a toy to play with or as a fashion/wealth statement. I bet the majority of grown-ass men you see in an Apple Watch wouldn't think twice about sporting a bead bracelet, the silly Live Strong plastic atrocity, or my favorite thing to ridicule, the little "braided string bracelet" that some influencer in Hollywood declared cool shortly after outlawing fanny packs. haha. Yes I say all this in jest, so please don't be offended. Everything is going to be ok. :)
That's just one (knowledable & influential) person's opinion. “OSM” itself doesn't “have views” on topics as complicated as that.

You can run it through a beautifier and get it readable again.
So often in our business, there are few that understand the whole picture of your problem area. Inviting too much critique results in uninformed objections or redundant suggestions that have already been considered and rejected.

The person who has been charged with a task, should have authority to carry it out as best they see fit. Ok, after folks have a chance to review. But letting somebody gate-keep results in stagnation and no progress.

As someone who has had to read thousands of random game crash reports from all over the interwebs (you know when Windows says you might want to send that crash log? like that), I totally agree.

Of all the things to be worried about, like OS bugs, bad hardware configuration, etc. bad memory is one of those really troubling things. You look at the code and say "it's can't make it here, because this was set" but when you can't trust your memory you can't trust anything.

And as the timeline goes to infinity, you may also get one of these reports and be asked to fix it... good luck.

I think you’re right if you’re trying to enumerate where a plug-in will call. However it’s also possible to require that a plug-in provide a list of domains it will call as part of its manifest, display that list to the user and use it as a white list for network access by the plug-in.

This ends up effect as magically determining where it’ll call, with a lot less work.
Minification isn’t necessarily pointless, depending on the tooling used. While the JS doesn’t have a wire cost, it does have a parsing and execution cost. Optimizing compilers like (say) Google Closure Compiler can significantly improve runtime cost, which is definitely a benefit for extension users.

That said, any extension using those tools without source code available and build verification should definitely be viewed with suspicion.
Respectfully, isn’t addressing that question/complexity their raison d’etre?
> but even low-end Ryzen Threadripper CPUs have TDP of 180W, which is a bit higher than I'd like.

Why does it matter? It doesn't idle that high; it only goes that high of you're using it flat out, in which case the extra power usage is justified because it's giving that much more performance over a 100 W TDP CPU. Now I totally get it if you don't want to go Threadripper just for ECC because it's more expensive, but max power draw, which you don't even have to use? I've never seen anyone shop a desktop CPU by TDP, rather than by performance and price.
I've got nearly 30 years of experience and not once has non ECC memory lead to corruption. Maybe a crash, maybe a panic, maybe a kernel dump...

But.. in all my time operating servers over 3 decades, it's always been bad drivers, bad code and problematic hardware that's caused most of my headaches.

Have i seen ECC error correction in logs? yeah.. I don't advocate against it but, i've found for most people you design around multiple failure scenarios more than you design around preventing specific ones.

Take the average web app - you run it on 10 commodity systems and distribute the load.. if one crashes, so what. Chances are, a node will crash for many more reasons other than memory issues.

If you have an app that requires massive amounts of ram or you do put all of your begs in one basket, then ECC makes sense...

I just know i like going horizontal and I avoid vertical monoliths.
I think Qt is generally superior. Still, I find GTK easier to get my head around (though I don‘t work regularly with either). Also, as a vanilla Ubuntu user, GTK apps look better on my system.

Not buying things is better for the environment. Projects like this are brimming with good intention but are little better than salve for consumer guilt.

Intel measures TDP at base frequency... that's disingenuous.
miclosoft.com is only one bit away from microsoft.com. Used to see these problems all the time when I worked on gmail.

At Google even with ECC everywhere there wasn't enough systematic error detection and correction to prevent the global database of monitoring metrics from filling up with garbage. /rpc/server/count was supposed to exist but also in there would be /lpc/server/count and /rpc/sdrver/count and every other thing. Reminded me daily of the terrors of flipped bits.
This is fear mongering because you literally have no credible proof.

Don't worry about premature optimization and how you are going to scale your business with or without investors. Build that MVP and see if you're building something worthwhile. If you are and can demonstrate that people are actually interested you shouldn't have a hard time finding someone interested in investing.

The most useful advice I can say is just start. Learn as you go.
I don't think Threadripper is a hard requirement for ECC. There's some pretty reasonable TDP processors if you step down from Threadripper.
I ran a memory test for two weeks straight on a consumer laptop with 8 GB RAM and could not get a single bit flip, so your mileage may vary.
Yeah but objecting to every attempt to do good because, it doesn't go far enough! Is a recipe for doing nothing.
