If they're in an area with a higher number of renewables, then possibly yes. I live in an area that gets about half of its power from nuclear, and the other half from hydrocarbons. When I did my research I estimated over a lifespan of some ~150k miles, a Model 3's carbon production would be roughly equivalent to a 43mpg vehicle assuming the grid stays the same. As the grid introduces more renewables, that number continues to climb.

I haven't checked on this in a while, but the most energy intensive portion of overall production seemed to be the treatment of batteries during their production. Development for an alternative to the current treatment process to use significantly less energy seemed promising

Government competence means hiring officials that do not allow the misappropriation of the people's resources, no matter the upside. It also means structuring the incentives for being official such that doing the right thing is incentive-compatible (i.e. if you steal power, you have to pay it back, go to jail for a while, and get banned from future government work).

If the Iranian government was competent, it wouldn't matter whether or not BTC exists or how valuable it was -- it wouldn't be trying to mine it in the first place. Governments shouldn't be so fragile that the mere existence of Bitcoin poses such an existential risk to the wellbeing of the people.
Resemble is the keyword, without any of the frameworks that make macOS what it is.
In my opinion, you're absolutely correct to write a focused, narrow book as that's the only way to stand a chance of addressing a topic completely.

The information available on the internet is vast, as authors it is more often our job to surface, connect, and curate a tangle of information to give readers, as you said, practical direction.

I agree with the parent. Much above $20 for a technical book is getting into "this is an expensive book" for me. Doesn't mean I won't ever buy it, but it's probably not the sort of thing I'll go "Why not?" right away and click the button.

Happened to me in the exact same way with eBay. User (relatively inactive) for 13+ years, go to sell something (boots lol) with original pics, full description, everything set up correctly, and banned within 5 minutes. No way to appeal, and last email after they said they'd refund my $1 ad post charge, was that my account was being deleted.
> The U.S. government can print as much dollars as they want, whereas BTC cannot.

In a macroeconomic sense, this is a strength of the dollar and a weakness of Bitcoin.
That is far more state than most people are comfortable keeping track of. Most people have "working" and "committed" and that's almost more than they can deal with.

I think they have been close for a few years already. We are edging closer every year but it is still somewhat Digital. Which is sort of the end of the S curve taking a very long time to perfection. May be in 5 years time I can barely tell the difference.

But the real innovation is achieving this in hours and not weeks or months.

> This will likely increase consumption of electricity.

But when you point out that primary energy consumption will decrease people laugh at you.

When you have a 50% efficient thermal power plant it generates 1 kWh worth of electricity for 2 kWh worth of thermal energy in coal or gas. Solar panels are roughly 20% efficient but nobody is counting that 5kWh solar energy hitting the solar panel as primary energy when the solar panel is feeding in 1kWH of energy.

The end result is that you have a meaningless statistic that doesn't tell you anything but makes some people smug that renewables can't ever work and makes others feel helpless when they are posed with the problem of replacing all that waste heat with renewables.

I'm not saying that the way primary energy is counted should be changed. Instead, we should stop looking at primary energy as interchangeable.
This third party arbitrator’s decision... if it is not liked by one party. Wouldn’t that party demand an arbitrator on the decision1? But then couldn’t decision2 be demanded to be arbitrated by the other party. And then. And then... it doesn’t seem to stop? In other words it seems you would need some kind of judicial process to keep in check the arbitrators. Which then sounds just like regular money, where you can usually arbitrate many times?

I’m also in the grandparent’s boat and I just want to get another view on this.
> If you don't wait for the commit, you may process the request before getting the notification that it was a duplicate nonce.

Yes, do this. Processing the request isn't bad as long as it doesn't commit.

Most evil attackers won't come back to you complaining that your server gave back an HTTP200 response when it should have returned an HTTP400 because they'd reused a nonce.
This is exactly what the article is talking about. Any criticism of israel immediately gets shut down. Whenever someone tries to open a valid dialogue I typically see either:

> The best thing about Windows now is that once you've registered your machine via their online tool, reregistering after a clean install is the click of a button.

> They have a windows 10 builder tool that downloads the ISO and burns it to USB or DVD. So there's not much stopping a customer from registering and then doing a crapware-free clean install. The downside (besides needing the skill and time to do it) is you'll lose any baked in freeware but the line between freeware, trialware and crapware is so thin now I'm not sure that's a concern.

And the best thing about your computer is that it's so complicated that a determined manufacturer like Lenovo can hide their crapware installers in, say, the UEFI. Which will then automatically install them on a fresh OS install.

You make the mistake of thinking that you own your computer. You do not.

> Personally, I'd prefer to give a 1 hour presentation of my work over a full day of technical interviews one after the other. I like this presentation idea - I've only ever seen it done when hiring people with PhDs just out of academia, but I'd like to see it as an option for non-PhD positions as well. This way you get all of the interested parties in the room at one time, they hear your presentation and there's some Q&A afterward and you'd be done in like 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Personally, I wouldn't do either one. I'm fine with multi-stage interviews, even multiple drives to a given location, but there are limits. If a company wants me there for an all-day affair, I better have some compensation on the way, either the job itself or just for the time investment. I'm too damn busy to just flush a day down the toilet on a "maybe we'll hire you," not even going into the travel expenses, arranging time off from my current job, etc.

All my career I have watched as stories from fellow tech workers get more and more ridiculous, the lengths they're expected to go to for a freaking interview. It's gotten disgusting. If a company thinks you're a good fit for their position, they should be ready to court you as well. The only context these death march assembly line interviews make sense in, is if you are utterly meaningless to them, just another cog to be placed, and eventually, replaced. And I don't want to work for anyone like that anyway.
Usually lower energy to exploit the server running the ACME client or the infra around it than it is to subvert the Internet infra that surrounds the LE infra.

For instance, you can subvert the internet infra around some ccTLD if you're that country pretty easily but then who really owns the domain? Probably you, the country, since you can do anything with the DNS and then anything with the traffic.
Those scary warning pages are an indication that someone is intercepting your traffic.

Fair but you can also simply bury the compressed bricks yeah? Recycling plastic has always been a ploy by the oil industry to increase consumption and make people feel good about the product.

I don't think you can create constraint-based system with 'artist hours'. Just like you can't create realistic 2D face generator without a GAN. It has to be based on samples of real people. There exists lots of generators, such as Daz3D, but you can't create realistic results in these because of their simplistic model. I haven't tested this yet though, so I might be assuming things.
The USD actually has two other major sources of value:

If you want to go down that line of thought, you would still have to concede that without adequate sleep, you will be ineffective. In either case, lying in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about those things doesn't lead to anything positive (in my view). Even Gandhi had to sleep.

Feeling guilty and the victim mindset are different sides of the same coin here. Neither is productive.
Where you see condescension I see a recruiter being genuinely helpful by clearly laying out expectations for what will happen during the presentation and how it will go. Some of that stuff might seem obvious for some people, but my experience is that if you don't provide info like that, then you'll get people that show up completely unprepared, presenting the wrong info, unable to handle questions from the audience, etc. And I think letting that happen to someone is doing a bigger disservice to the candidate than possibly offending their ego by giving them too many directions.
that's simply because a PS4 is orders of magnitude more energy efficient than BC and was designed to be like that

BC on the other hand are very expensive in terms of energy consumed, by design

BTC don't make any sense energy wise and in the end don't make any sense to invest in something designed to burn energy in the long run, especially now that we are trying to fix the mistakes of the past
Well, like everything in life, it's not perfect.

However, after initially intensely disliking the language, I found out that I was surprisingly productive, and that the lack of abstractions made for very readable code. The toolchain and standard library are also very good (coverage, race detector, cross compiler, etc).

Compared to python, I get fewer bugs (no surprises, and compile time instead of runtime) and faster code, and compared to rust, I get readable code. It's strictly better than C / C++ (lack of generics aside until now) , unless you have strong performance constraints (and I'd probably use rust these days anyway).

In the end it's good at some things, not great in any way, not highly appealing but curiously effective.

I think I like it just because it works surprisingly well, even though it initially went against my gut feeling.

Texas is quite large... you're probably thinking of West Texas (as shown in innumerable western movies). That is indeed very dry.

East Texas, particularly south-eastern Texas (near the Gulf) is very humid and can experience torrential rainfall. It's more like Louisiana than El Paso, climate-wise.

Austin is sort of in the transitional zone between the two.

By comparison with California, Austin gets an average of 34.32 inches (872 mm) of rain per year. San Jose gets 15.82 inches (402 mm). San Francisco proper gets 23.65 inches (601 mm).

Austin is considerably more water-rich than the Bay Area.

> And like that there are a lot of other UX small things that make for a more pleasant experience in the Mac, particularly for end users.

Completely disagree. Yesterday I had to figure out how to display hidden files in finder. I had to google it // apparently there is some hidden key sequence of command option control alt hell that toggles it. It is not exposed in menus anywhere and there shortcut it not all obvious. So next week I’ll be googling it again.

Contrast that with most linux UIs and even Windows. Context-menus display all possible options (generally)... nothing is hidden from the user.

Most of my gripes about MacOS have to do with the finder and context menus. They suck.

This is one example of many.
First-world vs third-world (approximately).

In the first world, brick construction is extremely expensive and you're right -- modern residences are often built with structural beams (whether wood or steel), and the brick is usually just a veneer.

But in the third world, variants of brick (e.g. cinder block) are often the norm, and are structurally load-bearing, and work fine for two to three stories. And they're very easy and cheap to build with.

The US has a ton of cheap lumber so load-bearing wood frames are common. Many countries don't have forests like that so bricks/blocks are the way to go.
Unfortunately rejecting candidates and/or providing feedback can be a legal minefield. The most generic excuse is the best one and using objective facts is one of the safest ways to reject someone.
Central Europe mostly builds from bricks. Not just classical red bricks, Ytong is a very popular type too.

Wooden structures copied from Scandinavia are slowly coming into fashion for smaller family houses (the construction process is very fast compared to bricks), but they are still very much in minority.

Taller constructions are concrete + steel.
Maybe not forever, but society benefits from better organization - in case of USA it's a democratic system - which makes productivity higher, so difference in numbers isn't the whole story.
Javas security manager system, is usually not in effect for the majority of use cases.
While maven/grade dependencies, can't run code on installation, generally once the application is ran/tested, it will be with full user permissions, not under a security manager.

The security manager is an additional layer of security that most languages don't have, however Java applets have shown it to be full of holes and generally unsuitable for running untrusted code.

The applet security posture has contributed a great deal towards negative opinion towards the language, probably would have been better off never having existed.
Bitcoin only delivers 100% of its promises because the promises have changed.

At first it was supposed to be peer-to-peer digital electronic cash. It was meant to both be money and a payment system to replace PayPal and the like.

Now it's been reduced to just a store-of-value, and not even that, it's a speculation that the volatility will stabilize and that it will be a store-of-value in the future.
I read this expecting to mock the argument but Bajarin is a smart guy.

He barely touches on perhaps the strongest argument: "partnering" with Intel (i.e. for all intents and purposes controlling, even if it doesn't have financial control) could be used to fend off antitrust attacks by the US government by transforming Apple into a national savior.

Likewise partnering with the weakest of the big three, Chrysler (perhaps Kia was a stalking horse for that?)

Perhaps following the same approach in Europe (although Intel has a large share of Europe's fab capacity already) could have the same value. Perhaps cars in Europe, chips in the USA.
Work on your sleep routine. 8 hours of sleep a day should be your top priority. Even if it means a pay cut. If you can't fall asleep, do more exercise during the day and read something relaxing before bed (Sci-Fi works well for me). You will notice positive changes n a couple of months.

Frankly, I'm surprised that the Austin region's notable decline in quality of life hasn't already begun to act as a feedback mechanism limiting investment and population growth.

Austin was plagued by decades of nimbyism and poor urban planning that prevented sufficient infrastructure development before it was a tech hotspot. ~10 years ago, things like traffic and public transport had already become borderline unbearable relative to comparable cities. It has only become much, much worse in recent years. I imagine that it might still seem livable to tech folks arriving from west/east coast megacities, but to us locals...not so much.

Nearby San Antonio has done a much, much better job in terms of infrastructure development, but of course nobody wants to set up shop there because it doesn't have the (fading, imo) cultural cachet that Austin has.
Nice try, Facebook :)
Server side state can take many forms. In general, you already have to track state per customer anyways, and that often goes in a database. You can also keep per client state in the database too, if it won’t fit in memory for some reason.

idk, it all depends on what you’re using the websockets for. If you have to send messages from one websocket client to another, things can get harder because those two websockets might not be connected to the same server.
How to Use Bayes's Theorem in Real Life
Ethereum is the most interesting altcoin I agree but it was always designed to be something sufficiently different to bitcoin, unlike most altcoins.

However ethereums adoption is considerably below that of bitcoin, possibly because the use cases are so varied there is not one strong reason for involvement. There may be many minor reasons that small specific groups have an interest in it but that isn't sufficient for widespread adoption.

The most important thing Ethereum is working on is PoS over PoW, and that technology, I expect, will transfer to bitcoin I'd Ethereum implements it successfully first

> I like how strongly people seem to be reacting to having to ask permission to digitally follow someone around

I don't have any analytics whatsoever in my apps.

When I make the "cake or death?" analogy, do you seriously believe I'm defending the "death" option?

But if we continue with this analogy, it's important to remember that Apple has been allowing "death" in its App Store for 12 years and is only now getting around to asking users whether they want death. Moreover, the App Store "race to the bottom" intentionally undermined the previous business model of selling upfront paid software. App Store devalued software and propped up the alternative of making everything free and turning customers into products. Apple has a lot of "blood" on its hands in this matter.

I personally install Little Snitch on my Mac to block apps from phoning home. Yet Apple doesn't allow a similar tool on iOS. So I don't buy Apple's "privacy" BS for one second, because they don't allow me to protect my own privacy.
Bitcoin couldn't even raise the blocksize. It's unimaginable that Bitcoin would ever include Monero's feature set which is magnitudes more disruptive.
