I think you have misunderstood me. I don't feel any hate for others and wish for an integrated world where genetics don't give people advantages.

I do think I am sometimes ignorant and am unintentionally offensive and am in need of correction. Sometimes bigotry is baked into our very language and social norms but doesn't nessesarily have hate attached. I also think my lifestyle and sometimes laziness likely contributes to making the lives of others harder and I think a lot about how to set that right.

Also yes, in some of the very racist small towns I grew up in, I got jobs because I spoke good English and because I was white, while others that worked harder didn't.

I even literally had an ex tell me a motivator for dating me was because her parents didn't approve of her ex because he was black.

That sort of thing is pretty messed up, but not being a part of any oppressed groups gave me priority treatment sometimes without question.

This was especially apparent when I would go to court for traffic tickets and get off scot-free every time while black and Latino people in front of me would get the book thrown at them for offenses more minor than mine. Many studies have shown black people get harsher sentences on average and I have certainly seen evidence of this.

I don't think white people -should- have an advantage and I agree it is evil that they do, but dominant racism in our country creates that advantage.

Also I never once made any statements or assumptions about you however you keep making them about me, like assuming I had an easy life. Not sure why.

I left them when we had the August crunch back in 2019. We hit the $9/kWh and even though I wasn't home my electric bill for the day was still $150. I switched back to my previous electric company that afternoon. I decided that risk wasn't worth the savings. It was like picking up pennies in front of a steam roller.
Is your personal definition the common one?
I agree it is. And C.T.R. Wilson was talking about it in 1925. But the TGFs mentioned in the article are incredibly bright, and what we're trying to understand (I work in this field) is why one lightning flash makes only a modest amount of x- and gamma-rays, kind of what you might naively expect, and another makes a mind-boggling million times as many, which is not as simply understood.

I didn't call you racist. I said not addressing race-specific factors has a tendency to exacerbate race specific factors.

Though I will note you seem very eager to defend yourself against being called racist.
Money laundering for sure. But also just a store of value.

A Picasso is like a savings account. You can hold one for decades and it will preserve value relative to inflation so long as people still value them the same.

Another way to think about rare art, is that it is a game. It's a game of trying to predict (or promote) which art will stick long term in some collective consciousness. The Mona Lisa is valuable because literally everyone in the western world knows it. Nyan cat is a modern example. It's a piece of art that is locked into the consciousness of at least tens of millions of younger people who are now starting to have money. If a piece of popular art exists in a form that is ownable and verifyably original, then it will trade for tons of money.
No revery is native. It doesn't use a webview at all; just uses the skia engine; basically a flutter competitor.
I mean speaking personally, the reason I don't get in on such things is that I'd have to hold cryptocurrency. This means both technical complexity (Buterin discusses the fairly low complexity of getting into such markets once you know how to effectively use Ethereum, but not that of getting up to speed on using Ethereum in the first place) and a security problem: Either I keep it in an exchange and have to worry about how trustworthy that exchange is, or I keep it myself and have to worry about losing it all should my private key accidentally become exposed.

So, that's the specific reason I haven't gotten in on it. Get past that barrier and yeah I would've been buying NTRUMP for sure.

This is cool stuff. I don't know the state of the art here, but it seems like making progress on remote factory operations would dramatically speed up our ability to industrialize space.
I've seen exactly this on adaptive bikes (i.e. for people with one hand). But most of us are fortunate enough to be better off with regular brakes: two hands means double the power, and as we improve we can modulate front/rear separately in some situations e.g. deliberate endo to get around a tight switchback.
> Erlang without a network and distribution is going to be more resilient than Erlang with a network.

I doubt that this is supposed to be true. Erlang is based on the idea of isolated processes and transactions - it's fundamental to Armstrong's thesis, which means being on a network shouldn't change how your code is built or designed.

Maybe it ends up being true, because you add more actual failures (but not more failure cases). That's fine. In Erlang that's the case. I wouldn't call that resiliency though, the resiliency is the same - uptime, sure, could be lower.

What about in other languages that don't model systems this way? Where mutable state can be shared? Where exceptions can crop up, and you don't know how to roll back state because it's been mutated?

In a system where you have a network boundary, and if you follow Microservice architecture you're given patterns to deal with many others.

It's not a silver bullet. Just splitting code across a network boundary won't magically make it better. But isolating state is a powerful way to improve resiliency if you leverage it properly (, which is what Microservice architecture intends).

You could also use immutable values and all sorts of other things to help get that isolation of state. There's lots of ways to write resilient software.

It was a lot easier to do this when I was younger as I had much more time in the mornings. I remember everything vividly but once ten minutes have passed since waking it's pretty much gone unless I make a conscious effort to commit it to memory.

It's great fun to go back and be prompted to remember some of the crazier ones or Ctrl+F to see how often various people and things pop up.
You can't just blindly copy Rust code from the internet. It doesn't work.

You can't blindly copy code in C#, Java, Javascript, Go, Python, C, or any other language either, but some of those will try very hard to hide the fact that your code isn't working.
Her complaint seems to be that the way Texas' system is structured penalizes excess capacity.

"This article from GreenTech media praises energy only markets as do many green interests. Capacity markets are characterized as wasteful. Andrew Barlow, Head of the PUC in Texas is quoted as follows, “Legislators have shown strong support for the energy-only market that has fueled the diversification of the state’s electricity generation fleet and yielded significant benefits for customers while making Texas the national leader in installed wind generation.” ... Rewarding resources for offering capacity advantages effectively penalizes renewables. ... The incentive for gas generation to do the right thing was taken away by Texas’s deliberate energy only market strategy."

As a result, no one pays for backup capacity: wind and solar can't (without electrical storage) and fossil fuel can't afford to have it since they have to compete with wind and solar.

This is the first I've heard about the cause of Texas' lack of capacity.

Has anyone ever estimated how many btc might be locked up in early adopter wallets who have since lost the passwords or the hard drive, etc?
Precisely. People have been doing this with plain ol' trading too. But then CMC started cleaning up the volumes and there were transparency reports on exchanges. Before this happened some exchange you never heard of was claiming to be a leader in volume.
The level of mitigation required to prevent 2011 wouldn’t be enough to stop 2021’s outage, absolutely. But it would’ve helped. Rolling blackouts are not good, but they’re far superior to losing power for days in freezing weather.

Also, consider the fate of El Paso, who followed the 2011 report’s recommendations. They’re still experiencing some issues; some plants have failed and they’ve had to cut off gas exports to Mexico. But their lights are on. All in, you’d much rather be in El Paso right now than Dallas or Austin.

Most likely what's happening is that both parties to the transaction have an agreement to return funds after the sale and this is done for publicity reasons.
It's possible that someone was so crypto-rich that spending $600K USD just to say they "owned" Nyan cat was worth it for the lulz, or for the flex.

However, paying $600K for a blockchain meme is also the ideal way to manufacture the illusion of demand for blockchain memes. If you're part of a business that wants to make money by selling memes on the blockchain, seeding the frenzy with a very public $600K purchase of an iconic meme is a great way to get the party started.

If you want to take it to the next level, you could re-list the Nyan Cat NFT and then re-buy it from yourself using a second wallet that isn't obviously linked to the first. Now the "price" of Nyan Cat looks like it has gone up, as recorded publicly in the Blockchain, even though nothing changed hands. A well capitalized individual could continue re-selling Nyan cat to themselves from different wallets at increasingly high values to create the illusion of a bidding war: "Nyan Cat value rises 10x in a week!" This creates demand from others who want in on the action.

I guarantee NFT sellers will be using this sale to lend credibility to their ventures. Plenty of people will rush to "buy" other memes with expectations of flipping them to someone else.

Expensive meme, cheap advertising.

Usually there's some inflation (or risk of inflation) that makes holding cash a bad investment opportunity.
The tax implication is a big deal, and other countries will be looking at that with interest.
But bitcoin has been "pumped and dumped" so many times now that most of the people who were early investors have already cashed out long ago.

What you are left with now is all the people who bought the bitcoin after it had already been pumped and dumped, and they aren't willing to sell it for less than they bought it for.

This means that the perceived value of the asset is now based on the notions held by millions of people who are holding and don't want to sell.
You could get Latin America to go in with proper support from other nations. The US went on a power trip squashing socialist governments there throughout the second half of the 20th century. I think the ingredients were there. It just takes a more active imagination.
A healthy nationalism is something countries should cultivate, in particular to unify disparate minority groups with the majority. A nationalism where a Hindu majority are stripping a Muslim minority of citizenship is probably not the good kind of nationalism.

I found the entire Hartsfield experience, ironically, to mirror that of Chick-fil-a. You see a very long line, get a sense of dread of having to wait in it, and in 5-10 mins that whole line disappears.

I remember one time arriving to Hartsfield just an hour before my flight was supposed to take off, saw that the TSA line spilled out into the entrance area of the airport (due to half the security checkpoints being closed for whatever reason), and, at this point, I've made my peace with missing the flight. Just 10 mins later, I got to the front of the TSA line.

The way they managed to unwrangle such a huge line was impressive, and it instantly reminded me of Chick-fil-a at the Georgia Tech student center building. Every time I got to it, I would see a line of 20-30 students, but it never took me more than 10 mins to get my food (from the moment I joined the line, to the moment I walked out).
This is exactly the problem I was suggesting might be improved by an increase in browser diversity. 9/10 times, the issue isn't the browser itself, the issue is that the dev didn't bother to test and find the (handful of often small and easy to fix) bugs in other browsers. If they were forced to do QA - and ideally, had to adhere better to the actual standards to make their own jobs easier - you might have an easier time using those apps (and the libraries they depend on) in other browsers.

In the mother of multicultural societies - Nationalism is the fine thread that holds the thing together. India without Indian-Nationalism is warring states inviting new colonial powers for piece of action. This has been predicament of India since Alexander the Great. Strong borders externally and shallow border internally with rivers flowing in different directions created disparate cultures and population centers.

India without Indian Nationalism is Syria on Steroids.. You do not want to go there.
How do you know it's a "true" memory? Does that even matter to you? I don't think it would to me! But, I'm curious how confident you are about whether you're in the same space or your brain is rapidly manufacturing the sensation.

Absolutely, it works (and has worked) with EWS for me reliably over the years, I've never actually used ActiveSync on my (personal) devices, as that gives my company control (MDM) over my device to remote wipe it. I've used AquaMail for... 8 years? (back when it was just one dev and $5) across all the Exchange movement my company has done.

It did take them (the new owners) awhile to get the O365 MFA support coded in, which is when I purchased Nine and used it for a year or so. Once AquaMail got their code updated to handle that, it was like a breath of fresh air coming back to the client. (the export/import of your settings - which are plentiful - works great, I've also upgraded phones many times)
My experience is that they don't care at all. Had a couple of friendspam requests from profiles that made no attempt to look like a real person, but were simply a pouting photo and am invitation to follow a URL to an "adult dating" website with a sketchy looking URL. Reported them both and Facebook sent a polite generic message advising they had passed a review but I could prevent them from attempting to contact me in future if I wanted to.
Calculation of market cap is interesting, because we (almost certainly) know that a good fraction — as much as 20% — of mined bitcoins are lost forever through accidental key destruction. So you have to adjust this market cap by the remaining, probably liquid, pool.

Interesting. So according to @baxrob, Tauri took over control of https://github.com/webview/webview project for the past year. And now I'm told they are moving away from it.

I'm left wondering why take over a project if they're going to ditch it. For lack of a better term.
They’re putting a lot of resources behind and it actually is thriving. They have a real financial interest as there’s pretty thorough firebase support. It’s also reviving their Dart language.

As someone that’s using it, it is improving very quickly. Web support is getting quite good.
For me this discussion is new, so I don't have good answers to these questions.

One thing that happened when Pokemon Go got popular is that people (users) were conducting vandalism, in the sense that many pokemon figures were added to the main map of OSM. People have to work really hard to remove these, and they might burn out on this. There is already a lot of vandalism, like people adding their friends drinking shed, or whatever they think of as funny.

Another thing that already happens with volunteers, is people thinking their working area is "their area", while no such concept exists. This can already give a lot of friction among volunteers. I can imagine if billions in money are at stake, big companies with a massive crowd of emplyees might want to really grab those working areas and drown out volunteers. If that gets a big problem, volunteers that were active for years might drop out.
Thanks, it has been amazing working with you also.
The idea in general is that you will own some digital asset and then use a smart-contract to license it out in a trustless manner. Reminds me of CryptoKitties where ETH whales were buying cats for huge sums.

Shipping Electron and bundling the WebView2 runtime are practically the same level of difficulty.

Making an installer is not that hard, and you should have enough respect for your users' compute resources to go through the modicum of effort it takes.
Stupid question : Why not spend $100 Bn instead on fundamental fusion reactor research and put some testing facilities in rural Wyoming? I’m sure many could disagree w/ this on similar grounds (“why not spend on healthcare”), but the use of the money is similar enough and could employ some of the same locals that modernizing ICBMs would.

Do you see pictures of things in your mind? For example, if I tell you to imagine the ocean waves coming into the beach, do you "see it in your minds eye"?

I do, almost as if it's a photo or video, but some people don't. I wonder how this affects dreams.

I'm 45 and I do not dream very often (or I forget when I wake up). Remembering only a few per year. But, when I was young I dreamed often.

The human mind, and dreams in particular, are fascinating.
