>That, although always possible, seems pretty far-fetched.

Sure, perhaps it is farfetched. But the point is trying to eliminate as many variations as possible to focus on a smaller set of people. Then once we have that, we can expand outward. Consider that instead of there being a "gay gene", there is a gene (or set of genes) that controls not homosexuality, but androphilia (sexual attraction to men/males/masculinity) and perhaps another that controls gynephilia (sexual attraction to women/females/femininity). [note 1] In that case, by looking at only one sex we could find such a gene. This is just an example of which there are many, but my intent is to show why looking at a smaller sample first could prove useful later.

Note 1: There is some precedent for this particular theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androphilia_and_gynephilia
ERMS is extremely slow for small sizes. In my testing, rep stos wins over sse for sizes above ~1k, and over avx for sizes greater than l1. It also requires correct alignment, and isn't fast on most AMD cpus.

For smaller sizes, rep stos can be as much as 20x slower than the alternative.
PoW is voracious. There is no limit to how much energy that the bitcoin network will consume. As you add more computation to the network, the computation requirement to create new blocks grows.

You could invent a dramatically more efficient way to calculate hashes - after a short period of readjustment, the network would go back to consuming just as much power as it does now.

You could find a way of generating power more cheaply. The network will then use much more of it.

Energy requirements continue to grow until an equilibrium is reached. That equilibrium occurs when the energy cost to mine new blocks is commensurate with the value received from doing so.

However, miners who can externalise their energy costs will generally outcompete miners who cannot. Incentives to damage the environment and avoid taking resposnibility are built into the system.

Robinhood's legacy is commission free equity trades at pretty much every single retail brokerage, whether they survive as an app or not.

There is a reasonable argument to be made that whatever minute price slippage customers might experience(which I believe isn't even supposed to be legal due to NBBO and Reg NMS? not an expert) due to payment for order flow is much less than the $10 commissions at deep discount retail brokerages and certainly than the $50 trades in the old days of calling up your friendly local rent seeking broker -- for typical robinhood sized equity transactions.

Robinhood has plenty of problems but they directly caused investors to be able to trade for free @ fidelity, vanguard, schwab, etc which is obviously a boon to consumers.

Also imo at least robinhood is somewhat up front about like 'the market is a zany gambling game' with their UX. Contrast with IBKR and TOS who heavily market their stuff to Serious Portfolio Dads With 4 Monitors and then ALSO do sheisty manipulation appearing stuff to "protect their clients from volatility." RH targeting a smaller computer and being colorful doesn't make it any worse than other discount retail brokerages shoving derivative trading platforms at unsophisticated retail.

> Fermi-paradox is paradox for a reason!

The Fermi paradox is just a way to have fun at parties (or over the internet, especially on HN). There are so many possible solutions to the Fermi paradox. But each solution has questions, and answers, and more questions and more answers. That's why it's so fun.

But it's not that deep.

To the point, the Dyson swarm is virtually guaranteed to not be used by any advanced civilization. Once a civilization tames nuclear fusion (and we are on the brink of doing so), then harnessing the energy produced by the local star via a bunch of solar panels becomes just a clunky way of getting energy. Controlled nuclear fusion can be many, many orders of magnitude more productive and convenient compared to solar energy. A star is indeed a massive fusion reactor, but it's a very slow one. Our Sun in particular produces about as much energy per pounds as the heat produced by the fermentation of manure. ITER is projected to produce hundreds of millions of time more. And ITER is just the beginning. Sure, the Sun contains most of the matter in the solar system, but plenty exists in the planets. We could use hydrogen stripped from Jupiter to produce trillions of times more power than a Dyson swarm could produce, and we can have that in a portable form that we could take with us in interstellar travels.

Bottom line, whoever is looking to find Dyson spheres out there in the sky, is simply wasting time.

Your grasp of bitcoin seems to be similar to a casual newspaper reader commenting on middle east peace without knowing any of the complex cultural differences. No worries it's the norm online. Even tech enthusiasts can be ignorant, after all bitcoin is a complex phenomenon a complex mix of social, economic and technical concepts.

Bitcoin never tried to be law, that's eth and other similar centralized scam blockchains.
Being as it's "only" 12 year old money, Bitcoin does evolve and adjust as its users govern it via running their own nodes. Until 2017, major companies (miners/payment processors) tried to fit all kinds of narratives on it (as you mention) but it became clear that they COULD not make bitcoin what they wanted it to do.

Meanwhile users did a soft fork with segwit and kept the blockchain as small as possible while allowing Lightning to be developed on it. This means the decentralized network wanted to keep being sound money, keep being censorship resistant, decentralized and still be scalable.

Lightning Network is a very solid success, used amongst early adopters, major exchanges joining (Bitfinex, Kraken, OKCoin), multiple VISA backed startups building rewards programs and remittance applications on it.

Unlike a typical tech startup Bitcoin does not need to trick everyone to use it and get as many investors as soon as possible and figure out something later. It is what it is. It does not force anyone to join it or spend a single thought on it unless they choose to. It's completely voluntary.

While I understand the skepticism (which just comes across as "salty" as they say) one should consider a simple web search to see how Bitcoin adds value to financially underserved people, allows politically censored organizations to take donations anywhere in the world and protect tens of millions of people from rampant inflation in most of the developing world.

I think it's important to appreciate risks you don't take. If someone offered you to play Russian roulette, and you decline, you shouldn't feel remorse if afterward they pull the trigger to see what would have happened and there was no bullet in the chamber. It was still a wise decision.

It's easy to feel FOMO but if you educate yourself and still are not comfortable, then you're absolutely right to sit it out.
That is not my experience (doing this sort of testing on compilers). In my experience, the shrinking is usually very fast. When it takes a non-negligible amount of time, debugging the failure would have been hopeless on the non-shrunk input.

What takes the time in my case was simply getting a failure to occur at all. It might take days on a mature compiler before a failure occurs, if then. This would be millions of attempts.
It’s new public management. Why have a hundred people maintaining these things when you can just have 1 person do it remotely.

I don’t think it’s a good idea either, but it’s exactly why it happens.

While I said it’s new public management, it’s also a common management style in any form of private sector enterprise.

I work in industrial automation, and I agree. There’s constant rhetoric about buzzwords like “Industry 4.0,” which, if it means anything specifically, means “connect all the things.”

There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of thought around “is it even necessary for this three-ton industrial robot to be dynamically reprogrammed from a service center in Stockholm,” and it seems like everyone just assumes that everyone else will do a perfect job implementing and configuring security. I fear the tune will only change after the first multi-million dollar lawsuit, and I hope all that costs is the money.

Maybe he did it as a form of charity to Bitcoin holders (who are presumably mostly tech futurists as mentioned elsewhere in this thread). If that's the case, we might see similar news about ETH or Monero tomorrow.
The argument about CO2 emissions and bitcoin seems reflexive and ill-informed. The reality is, it’s very small.

Bitcoin is estimated to emit 22 million tonnes of CO2, and that is based on country level energy generation mix [1]. In reality it is probably lower due to cost benefits of renewables like hydro. Global emissions are 50 billion [2]. Pornography causes 10x as much CO2 as bitcoin [3].

Literally just launching this for our site today. A bunch of boring Django views, a couple React <> Node apps for crazy fontend stuff, and a PyData ~flask app for backend. Django gives accounts + login screens + JWT/CSRF APIs, and the JS/PyData stuff just pass around CSRF/JWTs as usual. Reverse proxy does extra stuff, but not essential for security.

I would love to see allauth extended with some sort of React toolkit so we could do SPA logins without refresh. That seems like a much smaller lift..

I worked at a company that relocated their official headquarters twice in a span of a few years.

From an employee perspective, nothing really changed. We already had offices in multiple states and countries, and we already routinely worked remotely across offices.

The location of the company's headquarters was more of an abstract notion. Moving it is trivial.

The only real exception is when bills try to tax anyone who spends a certain number of days in a state. California had a proposal to tax anyone who spent more than 60 days per year in California. The end result wouldn't be an increase in tax revenue. Instead, wealthy people would simply avoid traveling to California any more than absolutely necessary.

It’s a great idea, but your company is going to be a serious target. You not only will have the ability to control authN, but you’ll own authR also if you’re managing users and groups. You’ll also own all the conference rooms, printers, servers, etc., since you’ll be hosting Active Directory for the Windows folk... at least that’s how I’d understand user management for auth.
that's a good point and I agree with you

to be honest jekyll still serves the purpose really well (especially for the reader)

the site is still sitting on an inexpensive entry-level cloud server, it's relatively fast, serves 300k+ page views every month and it give me some passive income

i'm pretty sure that if one uses the framework properly it can still hold on very well

i think what left me with a mixed feeling about static site generators is that it is constantly holding you back whenever you think about growing your website. i ended up building a django api that runs on the same vpc as the blog itself, and i used it to expand some features, like reading from google analytics the total page views for a given blog post, or consuming the disqus api to list the latest comments on the home page. this kind of thing.

managing the posts in static files is quite challenging as the number of posts grows. at some point you will want to change some info, or add a certain metadata and you will need to write a script to walk the _posts dir and edit the files (maybe there's a better way of doing that :P)

Yes, they would find jobs elsewhere, and their energy consumption and pollution would no longer go to support the finance industry. If you want to make a fair equilibrium comparison, compare the current state of affairs with a future state of affairs where the population is smaller by the amount of people who currently work for payment processors.

The thing is, he actually probably would've made some profit on that trade (or a small loss) after it all was said and done. He had a spread position, but only one leg of that spread was executed, while the other was still pending. So while the second leg is pending, the UI would only show one on the chart (while the other one is clearly marked in the UI as still active). Until that second leg is executed too, you will see that weirdness on the chart. But if you know how spreads work even on the most basic level, you will easily understand that this is not the actual balance of your account, it is just the pending balance until the other leg is executed. And the other leg was guaranteed to be executed, so it isn't like there was some uncertainty about that. All it takes is one business day tops for the second leg to get processed. For those curious, there are other comments in previous threads that explain the situation in much better detail, such as this one. [0]

This is a very known thing with spread positions, can be verified by just googling for a few minutes. And while his death is a tragedy that was easily avoidable, I don't think that it is fair to blame RH for this man's failure to do less than a few minutes of googling.

Important to note, this isn't unique to RH, this is pretty much how every broker displays that specific kind of a trade in their UI. And it isn't because they are all bad at UI, but because it is indeed an accurate representation of the state of the account at that moment. You just gotta make sure you actually understand the information you are looking at. And if you are doing option spreads with even the most basic knowledge of those, you should already be able to easily understand what those charts are actually displaying.

Not even mentioning that the parents claim he opened a trading account and started trading options as a college freshman, which is kind of impossible to get an approval for from RH (or any other broker) unless you make a lot of money already or lie on the application. And we know he didn't make a lot of money, because some of the headlines on the matter have mentioned "RH trader with no income manages to open a $750k position". So he indeed went around the rules (and the law) by lying to get a permission from the broker to trade options. Not trying to blame him for what happened, the situation is just unfortunate all around. I am simply struggling to think of anyone who could be honestly and justly blamed for this situation, aside from, maybe, his parents. But even that is a stretch.

"...well beyond what a typical industrial system will need to protect against..."

And the target system also had security systems well beyond the capability of your local water treatment plant. Let's not forget that these assets deemed as critical infrastructure could be the target of nation states.

All I'm saying is that not being connected is only a small part of security for industrial systems, and that some people wrongly rely on it being enough.

It is usually quite explicit that they are not providing investment advice with the online ones.
> the “turn it off and on again” source of truth is usually a sequence of imperative commands rather than a description of the desired system state

Not quite sure if it's related, but this is why I've been hesitant to go down the Docker rabbit hole that so many devs are pursuing these days.

On the one hand, I absolutely see the value of 'disposable' containers: discarding flaky instances and rebuilding a pristine one from a version-controlled config (i.e. "turn it off and on again").

However, the mechanisms to do that (re)building seem to consist of an unreproducible opaque binary blob (a "base image"), which gets augmented by a sequence of highly imperative commands; usually doing completely unpredictable things like 'apt-get update && apt-get install -y foo'.

I want the former, but the latter seems like a massive step backwards. I've seen some work on building Docker "images" using Nix, so that's the path I ultimately want to try. Colleagues may take some convincing though!

“Do what you love” is not so much a privileged thing to say. It’s just an ideal to aspire towards, a north star of sorts, even if you’re currently in a position where you’re only doing what pays the bills. Doing what you love is life advice on how to live a good, happy, and fulfilling life—do what pays the bills isn’t.
Also other cities won't upgrade their infrastructure until they have an equally public event, at which point it'd be too late.

No, of course not. But it takes more than one person to not have a fight.
