>But I am also certain that it would have made no difference in our current predicament with a third of the country thinking the election was stolen.

It would have changed some peoples minds I don't know if the change would have been a few thousand or 10s of millions. I can't say if it would have a dent in the 1/3 of people or not. I can't predict that. It would have helped me with my own peace of mind. And frank I think it's overall the right thing for us to do.

>And the more technical the evidence (i.e. source code), the less helpful.

Disinformation is powerful, I'm not suggesting this alone would fix that. I disagree that more technical evidence is harmful. Global warming is benefiting from transparency and evidence. It takes generations to change political will not years. The evidence there has shifted our whole economy, just maybe not fast enough.

There will always, always be deniers. Global warming, flat earth, vaccinations, etc. Evidence _helps_ battle deniers in these areas, but it takes generations for these ideas to become mainstream and the deniers to go from 99% of people to 2% of people.

Also, 2% of people think the earth is flat? Holy crap. https://www.sciencealert.com/one-third-millennials-believe-f...
Not in my experience. Most labs of various types supposed to get certification, but these certifications primarily about chain of custody, operation protocols, record keeping, and such. It has little to do with the veracity of their conclusions.
> What is the source of some people's persistent desire to legislate, regulate, punish, mock or vilify other people's loving relationships?

Western morals are still primarily rooted in Judeo-Christian beliefs which see any sexual expression other than heterosexual, monogamous sex within Christian marriage to be sinful, or at least taboo. The Bible condemns homosexual sex but in theory not homosexuality itself, as the "heterosexual/homosexual" dynamic is a modern invention which would not have existed at the time, but in practice Christendom considers any orientation besides heterosexuality to be at best a form of sexual deviance and immorality, sometimes seen as equivalent to pedophilia and bestiality, and at worst and affront to God.

LGBT sexuality is also often seen as undermining the mainstream paradigms of masculinity and femininity, and by extension gender roles, and by further extension the traditional foundations of society itself.
This is especially true of Paketo's buildpacks, which tend to do exactly one thing each. E.g., Paketo Node.js buildpack is just a configuration file that's composed of other buildpacks: https://github.com/paketo-buildpacks/nodejs/blob/main/buildp...

Again, it was not a lie, that is how margin calls are supposed to work.

If you don't want it to work that way, you have a simple solution, dont use margin to trade complex financial products.

Look, i get where you're coming from, but the fact is that these are complex financial products that most people shouldn't use.

They are risky, and have non-obvious mechanisms inherent to them that make them dangerous, thats why he had to take a test before being allowed to trade them.

This was a depressed man who was trading in highly leveraged products and got spooked when he tripped over one of many stumbling blocks, and immediately killed himself over it.

Its a sad story, but there was no negligence here, and nobody to blame but himself.
I would say just because of the energy and sacrifices used

At the bottom you don't have to pretend that the circumstances will improve, and there is some freedom associated with some approaches to that. Careers don't need to have continuity, I know many people in hospitality and service industry whose vacation policy is saving and quitting one restuarant, travelling, and getting another job at a different restuarant when they get back. Sure other approaches have lots of energy used on finding food and shelter that day, and service and hospitality work is not necessarily at the bottom, my post isn't about those approaches and dilemmas.

People in the distinct category of "professional" careers, not my term, don't feel like they have that freedom to have any timegaps and are resigned to earning small periods of time off, and often times that is true.

Underpaid IT/Infosec. People conflate IT and Infosec, once it's on an Govt payroll for billing purposes, no one touches the system if it's on a network provider, and not internal. If not internal, it won't show up on audits, most IT departments deal with a Windows Domain/Network and that's most locked down, but if it doesn't share a true connection physically, it's exempted from most audits.

The question is, why are the telecom providers allowing this, but there's also alot of legacy stuff they don't want to touch as it may violate the terms/contract and the bandwidth isn't the issue, so telecoms largely ignore it as they're just a bridge/
Bitcoin is the greenest form of finance that gets greener over time?

What nonsense is this?

Already ONE transaction consumes as much power as an entire American household uses for a week.That is 215 kwh of energy for one transaction.

It's using the equivalent of 2.26 million American homes worth of energy for just 330k transactions.

A significant chunk of that is wash trading, ie people buying and selling to themselves to manipulate the price. Is that worth it?

A simple visa or mastercard transaction produces several orders of magnitude less CO2.

For 330k transact

There is no effort to bring these to the same base. The global banking system is massive. The article is factoring retail banking, stock & bonds, finance, derivatives, payment processing and a lot more in to "Global Banking". Even if bitcoin was to replace the dollar and gold all at once, much of that infrastructure would still be needed.

Add to this bitcoin does an infinitesimally small number of transactions compared to the global financial system and I am doubtful that on a per value or per transaction basis that it would be within an order of magnitude. A lot of this is inherent to the design, and while it may be able to be evolved or an alternative crypto may not have the caveats, Bitcoin as it stands now is VERY power inefficient.

As long as he’s actually reading the code, and still in jail unable to hurt anyone, let him have it. He’ll likely pass before that time is reached and if he’s just wasting time he’ll get bored having to spend hours a day looking at code that he doesn’t care to look at. I get what you’re saying but my point is him wasting time reading code isn’t hurting anyone and is a better use of an inmates time than sitting around.

At some point percentage is insufficient, but it's because it's a rate. Permillionage/DPM doesn't fix it. It's the number of people affected that matters, so if you have it at 99.9% and grow 10x, you ought to improve it to 99.99% to not become eviler. If you just stay at 99.9% when you grow 10x, you're harming 10x the people.

I'd use the total number of false positives as the proper measure.

I recently left a project using AWS for one using Azure. I thought the AWS API's were inconsistent and janky but they look great compared to Azure. Azure is also extremely slow to perform actions in my experience and the documentation is very heavily tilted towards being sales funnels. I do like the keyvault service and the idea of resource groups. The whole tenant / subscription / roles / user mess of permissions not so much, but I expected that from Microsoft.
Constructing a Campus-Wide Infrastructure for Virtual Reality
I think the biggest benefit of these benchmarks has been to trigger improvements to all the low-hanging fruit in various frameworks. The differences at the high end don't really matter for many people, but I find it quite comforting if a framework is fast enough that I won't run into any performance issues I didn't cause myself. Because those I can fix, but if I hit a bottleneck in the framework it gets so much harder to figure out a way around it.
I'm sorry, I had to stop reading at "Second, metrics like the “per-transaction energy cost” are misleading because transactions themselves do not cost energy".

Yes, this is technically 100% accurate. However it's also 100% missing the point, since for the transaction to be globally accepted, a hash needs to be mined.

To paraphrase a few memes, "they're technically right, but they're being an asshole about it."

In November 2013, astronomers reported, based on Kepler space mission data, that there could be as many as 40 billion Earth-sized planets orbiting in the habitable zones of sun-like stars and red dwarf stars within the Milky Way Galaxy.[2

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation#Current_estimat...

So at a rate of 40 billion earth like planets in each galaxy. Deep field from Hubble turned up 125 billion galaxies. 125 billion * 40 billion = 5e+21

That means that over billions of years there is allot of time for life creation and death within the universe.

> What does Stadia add? On a good connection, it'll add 20-30ms

I can’t ping my router and get consistent latency that low.

Latency on speed tests varies between 15 (off peak no load) and 100ms (normal).

There is no way that by the time that all adds up, stadia is going to be a better experience than local.

My internet is also shared with other people, in a country with notoriously subpar internet (yay Australia), the closer we get to reality, the less appealing stadia becomes. The kind of game streaming I could get behind is the rainway/local streaming approach where I run the game on local hardware (pc/PS5) and stream to convenient device.

Something went wrong in your calculation.

An ideal heat engine operating between reservoirs at T_h and T_c has efficiency 1 - T_c/T_h. This means, when operating reversibly, it will send Q_c heat to the cold side, remove Q_h from the hot side, and do W work, where Q_c = Q_h - W and W = (1 - T_c/T_h)Q_h. If T_c = T_h/10, then 1 - T_c/T_h = 90% (very efficient!) and Q_c = 0.1*Q_h (not much waste heat!). Now turn this around, because it’s reversible. A heat pump removes Q_c from the cold side and exhausts Q_h to the hot side. If you remove 1J from the cold side, you exhaust 10J to the hot side, and that 9J difference is the work done. That is, it costs 9J to remove 1J of heat from a 27.3K refrigerator if the exhaust is at 273K. It’s worse at 4.2K.

(You can do an equivalent calculation a little more tidily by considering the entropy change of each side. To remove a given amount of entropy from the cold side, you must add at least as much entropy to the hot side. Plug in the usual formula for isothermal entropy change, and you get the answer.)

Mega Thread on Hannah Arendt
The spectrum lies in what the proposed solution to any man-made ecological problem should be. Typically solutions to these proposed problems require increased cost burden on either individuals or businesses, sacrifices in lifestyle, increased regulation, etc. With anything like this politics comes into play almost immediately.

The way I see it, your 'environmentalist' label generally applies to those who thing we should spend/sacrifice a lot. And the 'climate denier'/'anti-environmentalist' label applies to those at the opposite end of the spectrum who don't think we should sacrifice or spend anything.

Also re: slavery, more people are enslaved now in the world than at any point in history. More black men are enslaved by the prison system in the USA than there were at the height of North American slavery. So things are never so boolean.

When Starlink is going to be fully deployed the internet would be impossible to censor and the bitcoin will be way more valuable.
I agree that in many scenarios you will find that your approach is perfectly valid.

For us, we have ~8 people that need to use the system all at the same time. We utilize issues very heavily (we are entering 5 figures), with lots of data-heavy QA content throughout (screenshots/videos/binaries/etc). Additionally, our customer environments are actually configured to talk directly to our GitHub repository for purposes of rebuilding themselves from source at update time.

Because of the number of participants who are involved with our particular usage of GitHub, we find that a hosted solution with horizontal scalability and resilience to be an excellent fit. We have made the decision to make it Microsoft's problem to figure out how to eventually deal with 10k+ issues and 200+ employees/clients trying to hit the same host all at the same time.

If we had decided to host our own GitHub/Lab server in our cloud environment, we would be having to constantly review the capacity of the IT systems. As we add employees and customers, the load we put on our source control solution will increase linearly. Additionally, because of the deploy-time approach, having a solution that is backed by someone else's network means that we don't have to worry about our private network being slammed by outside requests. Our total checkout is nearing a gigabyte, so you can see how this might scale poorly if we operated out of our own infrastructure.

I almost feel like we are abusive of Microsoft's generosity considering the sheer amount of content we have throughout our organization's account. Every day I wonder when I am going to get some email demanding that we switch to a more expensive enterprise plan because of how we use the service. Maybe that day will never come. Even if it does, I will gladly shell out for the bigger contract.
Point of clarity:

Bitcoin transactions take negligible energy to produce and validate. It's block production that's energy-intensive, and it's the same regardless of how big or full blocks are.

Like any energy-intensive industry that could operate profitably via fossil fuel consumption, mining should be regulated to only use green energy. No different than power production and consumption today.
