In theory... but demand has elasticity. If the market has no way to equilibrate at a state that produces sufficient returns, there's no constraining of supply that can produce the returns needed. And that is the risk/unknown.
I recommend you simply read the Wikipedia article for prediction markets. It even has a list of prediction markets you can visit yourself:

Clearly there's nothing theoretical about it.
So just twitter?
It equally stands to reason that by not offering this feature, they make it more difficult for users to manage their quota, which means they can drive folks to higher-priced plans. This would be the "malice" take.

Given Google's history with UX and support of existing products, the other possibility is the product is simply understaffed/undermaintained and poorly managed. This is the "incompetence" take.

And again, to emphasize: rclone can do this today. Is it a bit slow (and possibly limited)? Absolutely. But it works, and is how I've turned to managing my own gdrive quota since Google seems to be either unwilling or incapable of offering the functionality themselves.
Providing enough information for the prover does not require a big refactoring, and is significantly cheaper and less risky than a rewrite for an established codebase.
> If it wasn't considered a value destroying move, the transition away from PoW would've happened already no?

I think there's a conflict of interest issue here that would prevent such a move even if it would be worth it - the miners clearly have an incentive to keep the current PoW mechanism, as without it they're left holding a bunch of expensive useless tech. And without the miners willing to go along with a move from PoW to PoS, at best you're going to get a split between the PoW and PoS chains rather than a clean shift from one to the other and just create a mess, which isn't ideal for anyone.

> but 'selling' that to people at danger that depends on that tech for safety is huge red flag

The vast majority of users do not need tor for personal safety, therefore avoiding brave because of this issue is a non-sequitur for most people. Ublock origin is great, but brave is one of the only solutions that is giving a legitimate attempt at solving the root issues in a pragmatic manner. Everything else (including ublock origin, as good as it is) is just cat and mouse.
Would you need an argument to support it if it wasn't opinion?
Funny coincidence I was just wondering this a few weeks ago when reading a Tinder bio of a girl named Alexa who had something to the effect of 'heard all the Alexa jokes for a lifetime thanks'

Made me wonder if there is a class action lawsuit where all of the Alexa's could sue Amazon for psychological distress or something.
The demo app has very basic styling, it isn't designed to be pretty. Since a Webview with HTML/CSS/JS is used for the GUI, you can style your app however you want.
US monetary dominance is up for grabs. This doesn't mean the US is necessarily supplanted as the world reserve currency, but it does mean lots of trade may dedollarize to some extent. My bet is there will be two major currency zones. Dollar/Euro in the West + Middle East + India, Renmimbi in the East + Australia + Africa.

Given the explosion of debt to GDP in the west vs the east, I see no way the Renmimbi will not continue to appreciate against the dollar, and I fully expect Chinese monetary dominance to increase with the government's continued annexation of Hong Kong.

BTC will probably dominate in countries were currency value is routinely destroyed (developing nations, Russia, the US and Europe to some extent) but as only as a back channel currency: I doubt any major commodity market or trade is ever going to be priced in BTC.

The superseding indictment alleges that she then attempted to delete a digital folder of documents on an external hard drive that she possessed containing records relating to her military service and visa fraud, including:

- A digital version of a letter from Song, written in Chinese and addressed to the People’s Republic of China consulate in New York, in which Song explained that her stated employer, “Beijing Xi Diaoyutai Hospital” was a false front, and that because relevant approval documents were classified, she had attempted to mail them;

- An image of Song’s PLA credentials, with a photograph of her in military dress uniform, covering the time period from July 2016 to July 2020; and

- A digital version of a resume for Song, written in Chinese, again with a photograph of her in military dress uniform and listing her employer as the Air Force General Hospital.

Yikes, that sounds pretty damning. I’m not an expert in digital forensics but I wonder why she wouldn’t destroy the hard drive after. Or is that not enough?

"If Bitcoin somehow did become an alternative world currency and USD was out of the running, wouldn’t that create great incentive for China to crash Bitcoin prices and drive everyone to use their national currency?"

It would, but there's no guarantee that if people left Bitcoin they would end up in RMB. More likely they'd jump to another cryptocurrency, or to Euros. People tend to distrust the last party that fucked them over.

I could see a dangerous situation if China let Bitcoin thrive for a generation, let all the other currencies wither on the vine through normal market mechanisms, and then decided to exercise their national control over Bitcoin. That's basically the Amazon strategy - make your product so appealing that all the other retailers go bankrupt, and then jack up prices once there's no alternative and a whole generation assumes you're the normal way to buy things. (Come to think of it, that's kinda the U.S. dollar strategy now.) But that's a generation off, so naturally I'm not thinking of it, and I doubt very many others outside of HN are either.
There's a much simpler endgame: China starts enacting export controls on ASICs.

What I meant with the refresh rate is that if I plug into a TV, I'm likely being the highest available resolution - 4k. But that can only do 30Hz refresh rate. The TV can also do 1080p at 120Hz, but the actual resolution needs to change. If it gets scaled output, I'm stuck with both using loads of processing+bandwidth and not getting high refresh rate.
Yes. Much like mutually-assured-destruction with WMDs, we need to try to keep China to <50% of the mining pool, otherwise they can do as they wish with it.

Maybe the US government doesn't mind that? Maybe they hope it will die, and send everyone flocking back to the dollar?

The latency is anywhere from ~5 to ~20 minutes depending on the distance between Earth and Mars at the time. As for bandwidth, there's a couple different answers. Perseverance has two X-band transceivers, one with a high-gain antenna and one with a lower gain omni-directional antenna. It's also got a UHF transceiver it can use to relay communications through the MRO and MAVEN orbiters.

The direct X-band transceivers are pretty low bandwidth and are mainly used for rover telemetry. They're low bandwidth because the the antennas are relatively small and the radios aren't super high powered. It takes the 35 and 70 meter dishes of the Deep Space Network just to receiver and send signals to them. The high gain X-band radio (~8GHz) can downlink to Earth at between 160 and 800 bps (yes bits per second) and uplink between 500 to 3000 bps. The low gain radio is mostly receive only and can uplink between 10 and 30 bps. That's enough for densely packed telemetry data and administration commands.

The UHF (~400MHz) transceiver talks to either the MRO and MAVEN orbiters. Because that link is pretty short range (200-300km) it's much higher bandwidth. The rover can uplink to the orbiters at about 2Mbps. MRO (I'm not sure about MAVEN) is able to downlink to Earth between 500Kbps and 6Mbps depending on the distance between Earth and Mars. Typically the rover will send its mission data (images, sensor data, etc) to an orbiter while its overhead which will buffer it and then relay it to Earth when its view of Earth is the clearest. MRO and MAVEN complete multiple orbits per sol (Martian day) so there's several opportunities for the rover to upload its mission data and get it back to Earth.

All the radio signals travel at the speed of light but the distance is what affects the latency. Mars and Earth are many tens of millions of kilometers apart so it just takes a while, even at the speed of light, to cross that distance. Communicating with another person on Mars would be more like sending each other voicemail messages than anywhere close to a real-time conversation.

Every issue I had with Signal, and listed here, is solved.

One issue I have with the Element iOS client is that it doesn't respect system font sizing. So, for older relatives, that app can't be used. I put my mom on something called "Fluffy Chat" though, which does respect font sizes. If Element fixes that, I'll move her back again. It's kinda nice having multiple clients to choose from, though Element is by far the most polished.

Baby name wizard has Alexa peaking in the 1990s when combined with various other related names. [1] The specific Alexa variant peaked in 2015 but that's in the context of the related names as a whole declining precipitously, albeit not to pre-80s levels.

I must admit that a reason for the popularity spike doesn't pop to mind but presumably there's some pop culture thing I'm not thinking of.

That associates statin use with depression, not cholesterol. That’s a huge difference. Those results (which are not an RCT) could easily be explained by those that are less depressed are more likely to seek any non-psychiatric outside medical treatment.
What part does node.js play in this?
The 'C++' keyword however, already narrows the target down to the 0.2% of the population, i.e. C++ devs. making it 500x more effective than a non-targeted ad.

If only 10% of those typing C++ would ever be interested in a course, then those are not bad numbers.

More nuanced: at the 'non-targeted' threshold the ad would not make sense at all, total inefficiency. At the targeted threshold of being able to target at least C++ devs, the ad probably starts to work.

That is the difference between a viable business and not

That means engagement, value creation, sales, C++ developers trained and ready for the market. This is extremely good for society. We definitely want aspiring C++ devs hooked up with quality courses.

This anecdote very tangibly demonstrates the effectiveness of targeting for individual companies ... but it also points to the market efficiency that comes along with good advertising.

If you have a startup, and you can't reach any of your audience, you're dead. This notion of 'word of mouth' is ridiculous as a business plan, it's exceedingly rare, and usually it's not that anyhow in reality - it's usually a form of effective social marketing by the early movers. Clubhouse for example is being helped by the 'celebrity' of the VCs behind it - they don't have mass market following, but a very avid following in a certain niche that will come onto the platform. I'm noticing a lot of Marc Andreseen on Clubhouse, too much for a busy VC, but not too much for someone who's hyping his own investment and bringing in a lot of viewers, helping out a lot of panels.

The essential nature of basic targeting is not controversial, it's quite obvious at least at the most crude level.

> reduce them to consumers instead of participants in creating culture

But you miss the fact that the new generation making movies and documentaries with these iPhones is creating culture! Leaving aside the distinction of computer/cellphone, the iPhone is just a very powerful tool to the new generation, and in some ways, they'd argue they can do more with it than with a mere 'computer'! And, in taking down the barriers of entry and making these computer cellphones easier to use to create new content, one could well argue culture has never before flourished as widely as it does today.

Not sure I agree with this diagnosis -- Ruby gemspecs (for components) and Gemfiles (for dependency lists) are both executable Ruby code, but packaging troubles at the Pythonesque level are rare.

The trouble I've had with Python packaging had a lot less to do with the specs being executable code than with there being tools with overlapping use cases which interpret them in different ways, none of which seems to cover all use cases, and whose documentation of what they expect in package specs is sometimes in conflict. If the specs turned to JSON-with-comments tomorrow, those problems wouldn't go away.

In one sense, light experiences no time during travel, so anytime you are hit by radiation (like from a star) there is frame of reference in which the event was instantaneous.

On the other hand, if you were on Earth and I was in between Earth and Mars, I would receive the data more quickly than you, and I could even watch it whiz by me on its way to you. The thing about relativity is that it’s... relative!
For that book, I would take a look at Apples long dead QuickDraw GX. It did the offsetting, even-odd rule and non-zero rule, all kinds of intersections, color spaces, text along paths, affine transforms, etc.

I don’t know any more complete 2D graphics API (but then I don’t know many well)

Following TrueType, it used quadratic Bézier curves. It also made the, I think somewhat contentious, choice to use fixed-point coordinates. That guaranteed that translations of graphics didn’t change their rendering, though.
The programming model is fundamentally different between local vs distributed. Imagine if every local function call in your monolith significantly increased in error rate and latency. Your optimal algorithms would change - you can't just loop over a network call like you can with a local function call. That's what happens when you take a local invocation and put it across a network boundary. The probability of things going wrong just goes up.
The low FPS is an unfortunate effect of our capture setup on a not very powerful system. The FPS values we get when not capturing are normal (i.e., on par with Wine on X11).

My research indicates it has not dropped significantly. Here is a report from last year on a winning bid to construct a new massive state-of-the-art desalination plant in Israel for a very low bid of NIS 1.45 or ~$0.44/m^3 [1] which this article [2] indicates is NIS 0.65 lower than the existing lowest prices (existing prices would be ~$0.64 by that count). This is a little lower than my lower number, but this is significantly lower than the prevailing number which is in range and is being done at scale in Israel, one of the leaders in the field, so should probably not be viewed as globally representative.
