Well, still, how could the market cap of Tesla be all top 6 other car manufacturers combined [0]?! I guess the markets believe in monopolism and their overpricing is hopes that there will be just one car on this planet - a battery on wheels. I mean, I understand if Tesla was selling fuel-cell cars like Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai, but what's new in a huge battery on wheels? Remember more than 10 years ago when fuel cells were the future of all energy storage? Cell phones had fuel cells, laptops - those lasting days, all car manufacturers at the time had great FC platforms. My only disappointment with FC cars is that they still have large batteries and they are the dirtiest part of the car [1]!

Is there any conceivable good reason for the value to have tripled in 3 months, or is this a cycle of FOMO hysteria just like last time?

Thanks for the clarification! This makes sense, the reason your images look 'off' is that the normal thermal pallets (such as the one in your colorbar) are typically a roughly constant (or at least smoothly varying) luminance with the thermal information stored in the chroma. Your images have that multiplied by the visible light image intensity which gives a very surreal effect. Fun stuff
At my previous work I was involved with processing of data from 1024x800 cameras with 16 bit per pixel and nice optics. After proper calibration and trivial image processing they were not particularly blurry since they were able to resolve even tiny temperature differences.

That sounds like a very difficult experience, I’m sorry for your friend.

At risk of overstepping, I wonder if the underlying issue might be better viewed as needing to rectify and update previous ways of being, self-models, and goals with the new circumstances. As well as fully grieving this loss, coming to terms with how things are, and learning to imagine all of the new possibilities that can still be realized.

> subset of goods are rising in price

This is not a random subset of goods, we're talking about basic things like housing (as also mentioned by someone above) and education. It's not like the diamonds or the yacht markets have gone through the roof while everything else has remained pretty much stable, we're talking about stuff that affects almost everyone in their day-to-day life.
Maybe people don't want to leave all their savings in USD because with all the stimulus money, there will be some inflation?
Conspiracy theories thrive when true information is suppressed for political purposes. If you want to stamp out conspiracies stop lying to people about things they obviously know are false and they will be more willing to believe you when there is more uncertainty.
Oops, you're right, I misspoke when I claimed this was proven. I mixed up BQP with the recent quantum superiority demonstration, apologies.

Still, it is strongly suspected that BQP != P. This was especially reinforced by the MIP* = RE result, as far as I understand from Scott Aaronson [0].

No. what it signals is that app releases are decoupled from feature releases. Of course people know when a new and important feature is being released, it's just completely independent of when the app store update goes out.
The main idea is extreme portability. You only need to implement something like 46 basic functions (and, or, xor, +, -, *, /, if,...) and then you can use the language on that platform.

Besides that it has a lisp-2 macro system so you can do everything..

You'd like to know how Duesberg came up with his hypothesis because the results from early clinical trials speak for themselves. T-cell count went up in the treatment group, amelioration of symptoms, progression to more severe disease delayed.

Of course the virus evolved to defeat the medication, and the disease came back, that's why we nowadays use combination therapy.

You'd really like to know why, despite the obvious successes of combination therapy, Duisberg continued to advance his theory, by 2000 it was totally disproved.
I don't. I simply have a very frugal lifestyle. The result is that on average over a year about half goes to savings.

It's surprising because car drivers are used to the fact that rules are not or rarely enforced.

Just think about it: Technically it would be no big problem to enforce speed limits widely. The technology for speeding cameras isn't exceptionally complex, you could mass-produce them and deploy them basically in every street. I'm not aware of any country doing that.

> Facebook didn’t invent it.

Didn't Google invent this model? [1]

>Surveillance capitalism was invented around 2001 as the solution to financial emergency in the teeth of the dotcom bust when the fledgling company faced the loss of investor confidence. As investor pressure mounted, Google’s leaders abandoned their declared antipathy toward advertising. Instead they decided to boost ad revenue by using their exclusive access to user data logs (once known as “data exhaust”) in combination with their already substantial analytical capabilities and computational power, to generate predictions of user click-through rates, taken as a signal of an ad’s relevance.

>Operationally this meant that Google would both repurpose its growing cache of behavioural data, now put to work as a behavioural data surplus, and develop methods to aggressively seek new sources of this surplus.

>The company developed new methods of secret surplus capture that could uncover data that users intentionally opted to keep private, as well as to infer extensive personal information that users did not or would not provide. And this surplus would then be analysed for hidden meanings that could predict click-through behaviour. The surplus data became the basis for new predictions markets called targeted advertising.

>Here was the origin of surveillance capitalism in an unprecedented and lucrative brew: behavioural surplus, data science, material infrastructure, computational power, algorithmic systems, and automated platforms. As click-through rates skyrocketed, advertising quickly became as important as search. Eventually it became the cornerstone of a new kind of commerce that depended upon online surveillance at scale.

>The success of these new mechanisms only became visible when Google went public in 2004. That’s when it finally revealed that between 2001 and its 2004 IPO, revenues increased by 3,590%.

>Surveillance capitalism is no more limited to advertising than mass production was limited to the fabrication of the Ford Model T. It quickly became the default model for capital accumulation in Silicon Valley, embraced by nearly every startup and app.

Levi-Strauss on the Functions of Writing
I'll be honest, judging from my experience with Facebook's ads system, I'd wager they have accumulated some technical debt and their content evaluation (aka censorship) systems don't really work or don't scale. There are numerous reports of incorrect flagging of business accounts and ads managers and insanely long review processes (which, by the way, never result in an apology) on forums outside Facebook. Advertisers were moving to other platforms because Facebook became unpredictable and ads costs were skyrocketing just before the US elections.

It's a bit better now but they still seem to have problems identifying objectionable content. If the system doesn't work for ads, it won't work for orders of magnitude more user posts either.
What some people don't seem to understand here, is that I could make a bitcoin transaction, by make a phone call to someone, for example.

In order to truly prevent people from making bitcoin to transactions, a government would have to enact absolute authoritarian control over every single bit of information that goes into and out of the country.

If I could even send a text message to someone outside the country, then I can send my bitcoin. Governments are not going to shut down all methods of ever sending text information to everyone permanently.

> let you Google for examples.

There are no examples of governments having absolute authoritarian perfect control over the internet, for any extended lengths of time.

In every example of countries that have internet restrictions, there are many people who are still able to get information into and out of the country, through numerous methods.

The original statement was "What's nearly impossible to stop?". And I maintained that it absolutely is nearly impossible for a government to enact perfect authoritarian control over every single person in a country. That is just obviously false.

So no, governments cannot "simply shut down the internet to stop Bitcoin". Because no government in existence today, has enacted perfect authoritarian control, over the internet, or shut down their internet permanently and stopped every single VPN, satellite phone, ect.

> it's not worth the effort for governments to shut down Bitcoin

It will never be worth it for governments to permanently shut down all of the internet now and forever, as well as stop all of the vpns, satellite phone, ect.

This kind of a permanent shutdown is something that no government has ever done. Every single example of governments trying to control the internet, still has many ways of getting information in and out of the country.
Bowling for columbine never suggested any type of conspiracy. Lobbying for guns and interest group cooperation is not a conspiracy in that sense. Propaganda, PR and political influencing is not conspiracy in the conspiracy theory sense.

School shootings are not part of anyone's plan (except the shooters).

Moore tried to reveal the extend of influence and manipulation, not to reveal some new sinister group with secret plot or "everything is connected" in some completely new way that explains shootings. Advancing ones own interest and that having a negative side effect of school shootings is not a conspiracy theory.

Conspiracy theories have the belief that certain events or situations are secretly manipulated behind the scenes by powerful forces with negative intent.
IIRC, it didn't work with Option in the past, so you might have been correct when your code was written. The ? operator came originally from the try!() macro, which was specific to Result; unlike the macro, it was designed to be extensible through the still-unstable std::ops::Try trait, but IIRC that trait was initially implemented only for Result, and only later was extended to Option and a couple of others.

It didn't have bad IO performance. It had the same IO performance as Windows.

The problem is software that is badly written and does bad assumptions, like that continuing opening/closing files is good just because in Linux is good, that maybe true on most UNIX systems but nobody said that.

I think that WSL2 is a very very bad idea, you are no longer making a POSIX subsystem of Windows, a way to use the POSIX API in the Windows kernel, without any emulation (basically the same thing as WINE), you are running a virtual machine.

I would say that WSL2 performance is very bad if you work in the Windows filesystem. Sure, if you work from the WSL home directory that is mounted in a ext4 virtual filesystem performance is good, it's a VM.

But this is useless, you see the main advantage of WSL over having a VM or a dual boot was integration with Windows, the ability to use bash scripts to manipulate your Windows files, the ability to launch Windows executables and pipe the output into a POSIX executable.

All of that is useful if there is a strong connections between the two systems, if I can work with WSL in the same home directory as Windows where I have all my files. How is useful if before working on something (that could be a stupid thing like running a script to rename a bunch of files) I have to first copy the files that I intend to work on in the WSL home, run what I have to turn, and copy them back? And what if I want my IDE in execution in Windows with the project in Windows and I want to launch on the project bash scripts?

I hope they will not discontinue WSL1! If they will discontinue WSL1, unfortunately I will have to go back to cygwin that was not great but worked mostly fine, since I need integration between Windows and Linux.

My experience re-entering South Korea
When he went in to buy a drink there was no need for his car to be buy the pump anymore. He had filled up and paid already. He remained only because it was more convinient than moving the car and then getting the drink. Depending on how many people were waiting and how long it took to get the drink, that was probably the right call.

There is difference between conspiracies and conspiracy theories - this list shows mostly information about conspiracies, and less information about people and theories that predicted them before official uncovering (this would make them conspiracy theories proven true). I think a lot of conspiracies about which we learned post-factum prove mostly that they are really hard to spot.

Steve Meretzky was the author of both that and Hitchhikers--the latter with Adams of course.

Losing a Lifetime of Art and Code
It's 1.25% in Poland. Technically 9% but you can deduct 7.75 of those 9 diectly out of the tax you owe.

It doesn't depend on income and gives you access to whatever hospitals can provide for everybody. My SO had six brain surgeries, two radiation treatments (one with cyber-knife) and Temodar chemo twice, and months of rehabilitation and hospital stay for that. She still died in the end but she got few years of healthy life more (and a year of some life) for the 1.25% of patchy mostly freelancing income. All she had to spend on top of that was maybe 100$ on minor medicaments.
And we should. This is obvious bad behaviour.
Bitcoin is a lot less volatile than you think: https://www.etftrends.com/alternatives-channel/bitcoins-vola...

“In our current volatility research, we compared the 90 day and year to date volatility—as measured by their daily standard deviation as of November 13, 2020—of bitcoin against the constituents of the S&P 500 Index. We found that bitcoin has exhibited lower volatility than 112 stocks of the S&P 500 in a 90 day period and 145 stocks YTD.”
I think these maybe the same people calling Trump to say that he's a great president. Both claims are equally as unbelievable.
Yes I'm serious. The intermediate string's RAM is automatically much smaller than the RAM consumed by the DOM and the calculated box model and text layout graph, so its size is insignificant. If it's huge, you have much bigger problems from the DOM. Also, the intermediate string is temporary, and will be freed after the DOM is created but before the box model and text layout graph is allocated and calculated, so it might not end up using any extra RAM at all.

In this example, updating the DOM as soon as you get the information is not optimal for user feedback, because rendering is paused until after all the DOM updates anyway. DOM rendering in all modern browsers is lazy. It only starts after JavaScript returns from handling the current event queue.
Your first argument gave me quite a good chuckle.
> What stood out to me was that it was always mainly criticism on his technical ability.

I do remember that kind of discussion amongst the fringe OSdever crowd but honestly I always found Terry's work motivational and technically solid. I think a lot of the criticism for him was bourn from the fact that he had a complete hand-made kernel, OS, and toolchain and almost everyone else had a copy-pasted bootloader -- and only half of those even enabled the a20 line.

> If Zuckerberg, Sandberg, et al could improve Facebook's behavior without putting the business at risk, they would do it in a heartbeat. But it appears they can't.

I think the point is they literally can't improve Facebook's behavior because their behavior is their business. They don't have any products that can function without their panopticon and Skinner boxes.

It's not that they can't compete by changing their behavior but cease to be a viable business that can even operate.
