Next you'll tell me that Ethereum is centralized because Coinbase requires registration and login.

You've been looking at clients, i.e. independently developed user interfaces to the Stellar DEX. You can interact directly with the DEX here:

No that’s not what I mean. I bricked the device. I’m not saying I wiped the hard disk and just can’t boot. I’m saying I put the machine in a state where it would NEVER AGAIN boot. Completely unrecoverable.
Pretty much. You get into such insane levels of debt by borrowing more and more every year, by leading a lifestyle that you can't afford.

"Lifestyle" in case of government spending being the levels of healthcare, education, social services, war, tax & tariff rates, capital controls, etc.

If you don't want to be crushed by interest payments, eventually you'll need to pay up, and that means inflation, possibly hyperinflation, and a crash of a lot of systems that we take for granted.

It's a market failure because in a market with proper competition it wouldn't be possible for Intel to do this without being undercut by someone else on the higher end parts.

If you're able to take e.g. an 8 core cpu, artificially disable 2 of the cores and sell the 8 core for $300 and the 6 core for $250, and still make a profit/break even on both of them then you could be selling the 8 core for $250 and your competition should be punishing you.

Intel are only able to offer a "discount" because their profit margins are so high because of lack of competition.
doubtful, as little far back as a decade there was considered to be over 2.7 billion hectares of land available that would was considered usable, this is mostly in areas like South America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America.

Global Warming may actually open areas previously unsuited for certain crops; evidence pointed to much warmer climates in Europe with grapes further North in mans short existence, and the impact on existing uses is not fully understood.

The simple fact is, every time someone suggest were are running out of food or have too many people or water is not wet anymore we find out that it simply is because we don't look further than we are standing.

The biggest reason people starve today is repressive governments that respect neither the person or private property. that one percent, the ruling elite of the world, loses its grip in highly informed, rights driven parts of the world but they sure do fight to keep the pie to themselves even there.

Nuclear's non-intermittency is why it wind in the long run. Once intermittent sources fulfill demand during peak production hours, the actual cost of adding each usable watt goes up dramatically. If your goal is to run a primarily fossil fuel grid, supplemented by renewables that's fine. That's what Germany is doing.

But if your goal is to actually eliminate carbon emissions, you need to factor in the cost of storage. And there really no feasible plan of storing the amount of energy required at the moment.

If your goal is to actually eliminate carbon emissions, nuclear presents a much more realistic option. We keep celebrating Germany, but in reality their carbon emissions per KWh of electricity is not actually very good. It is worse than Britain. And it's ~7x worse than it's neighborhood to the west, which we tend to ignore for some reason.

His point is that crypto mining isn't using some carbon neutral electricity that was just lying around unused. If crypto minors didn't exist that hydro electricity would have been used for something useful. So by mining crypto unless you actually build extra hydro power stations for them you are 100% adding to CO2 emissions.
I took a creative writing class at University (mostly on a whim). One of the stories I proof-read was a novel about this idea. That the universe didn't tick at a uniform rate and there were people who could "tick" faster or slow. Of course, you run into all sorts of people with breathing and moving through very hard air. The core tenet of the book was that the clock domains of the universe were drifting apart at an accelerated rate and the protagonists were trying to stop it. It was an interesting concept and a fun short story.
I would certainly hope I don't!
We swim in the oil that may kill us all. The potential oil in the Arctic refuge is not needed. Ways and mean are now coming on stream that will make it never used = a lower price for oil = extending the use of what oil is left and delaying the total cessation of oil use via combustion. There will be smaller uses for oil to make some feed-stocks, but not very much as I can see the use of cellulose and chitin based polymers, which are both biodegradable (unless chlorinated/fluorinated to block any use as compostable biomass).
Tax oil at $1 per gallon, going up by $1 every 5 years will soon choke this snake.

I don't think that tracks with reality. If my company suddenly decided to do away with equity comp, they would not replace all the potential earnings with base salary. Base salary would be higher, sure, but still much lower than the salary+equity package.

I think more companies now have a policy where your RSUs vest every quarter, and there's no cliff (except for possibly the first new-hire grant[0]). So yes, it's delayed, but in practical terms you get your first vest within 3 months of getting the grant. (And if your company doesn't do refresh grants periodically, and equity is important to you, you should find another company.)

> Even when you hate your job, you will be hesitant to leave the company because of FOMO and sunk cost fallacy

This is unfortunately true. I do know people who aren't happy in their job (maybe not to the point of actively hating it), but stick around because of their golden handcuffs. I tend not to worry about that too much; they've decided[1] that being unhappy is worth the cash, and it's not a bad problem to have to be able to make that choice.

> That said, anecdotally, every one of my close circle of friends made decent amount money from equity

Exactly.

[0] Which I have a hard time complaining against. The company probably just spent $50k of its own resources to hire you, and I don't mind that they don't want to give you any equity until you've been there for a year.

[1] Then again, negotiation may be able to get similar equity terms at a new company that could presumably make them happy, and I think many people discount that fact.
sunk cost fallacy maybe? Maybe they didn't really have the numbers either or didn't trust their own (real) numbers. Or their total revenue was up and they didn't quite get the causalities right... Anyway, it happened.

> "I guarantee that if you send me an int then i will return you an int without crashing"

This is a much stronger guarantee than you get in any language except very specialized ones. Coq, for example (not just not crashing, but also guaranteed termination). But even in Haskell an Int -> Int function can crash or decide not to terminate. Reading more into a type opens up cans of worms that are hard to solve.

They really didn't. SpaceX is not cheaper than the shuttle no matter how many times it gets repeated. That SpaceX fudges the numbers so it is hard to compare doesn't make it true. In reality SpaceX is more expensive than not only the shuttle but also their own projections.

This is what Utopia did in Utah...they worked with UDOT and was a collaboration between the state and smaller telecoms to build out a network but it was in collaboration with a lot of providers.

Everytime there was road construction they laid conduit, first from SLC to Provo, then to all the smaller communities off i15, then all the rurals. I live in a rural town with 45 thousand in the entire county and I have access to 1 gig fiber. In my previous rental in an even more small town (500 residents) I still had fiber. This was 45 minutes from any other town.

Utah rocks for broadband and is one of the best models I've ever seen.
Care to confirm my pet theory that you have working utilities and food at this time?
Lets get back to the basics here. If Texas was connected to either the East or West grid, would it have power right now? Yes.

Edit - Texas can only access a tiny fraction of energy reserves due to weak connections to the East and West Grid. Imagine those connections were stronger or direct. I'm sure neighboring states will suffer too. I'm applying general knowledge of distributed systems, I'm not going to act like I know the specifics of the US power grid. If you go it alone, in any system, there are consequences.
There's been the virtual elimination of new private sector defined benefit pensions. Which isn't even entirely a bad thing. Leaving aside issues of benefits being cut in some cases, it was always a system that was designed around people staying decade+ in the same job. And between that and SS in the US, people didn't have much choice for a huge chunk of their savings.

The problems is the various defined contribution schemes were never introduced in a systematic way as you say. 401(k)'s history is particularly unplanned.
But that's a lot of extra overhead too. You need monitors, OSDs, metadata servers, etc...

If you're comfortable with the node being a single point of failure, you can do a lot with a single storage node connected to a JBOD and serving data over NFS. And even if the node is the unit of failure, you can attach a SAS JBOD to multiple servers if you'd like.

In my position, in addition to the added cost, I just don't have the physical rack space for the extra servers required for ceph.
We'll have a whole lot more of that this century...
That is a problem but far from the only problem.
Wind still requires a huge area covered with wind turbines to match a single nuclear plant. Each of which takes space, needs to be accessible, and needs to be connected to the grid through some facility. I would not call that a density off the charts... (see link in my previous comment as well)
Pratchett would have then said, each of these frames is an entirely new universe, the previous one being destroyed.

"And they are told: 'Wen considered the nature of time and understood that the universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew. Therefore, he understood, there is in truth no past, only a memory of the past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore, he said, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.'"

I have no interest in crypto, but hacking around this restriction sounds fun. I think announcing this publicly was a mistake. There are a lot of people who'l take this as a challenge, especially if these cards are easier to purchase. I expect hacked drivers in weeks, if not days.
Yeah, that's a good distillation of what's going on. I think people have severely looked over just how significant this weather was and why it was really reasonable for engineers to not anticipate this situation.

What we really need to be reminded of is that this was caused by global warming stifling the typical northern jetstream. As long as global warming stays a problem, we will need to anticipate these types of extremes across the entire US.
That's very cool to hear!

As the ceator of D, how do you see the place of borrow checking in the ecosystem long term?

In the past few years I introduced a new concept that provides a simple and universal mathematical way to represent information AND meaning.

The basic idea is to recursively build grammars as trees in 2-D Cartesian space. Then you just count the elements.

It's still in its infancy, but it is very pragmatic and very useful.

I always suggest democratic voters to mode to districts where their votes count the most.
My understanding was that you put the solar in the desert, so that you can put the vertical farm somewhere else where soil, water, transport logistics is easier.

So the question is whether a greenhouse/farm in the desert is easier than solar in the desert connected through grid to vertical farm somewhere else.

I have no data. My guess is the ongoing logistics of piping electricity out of the desert is easier than fertiliser into the desert and produce out to where people live.

Recent work in information theory has formalized the concept of semantic information, where Shannon deliberately avoided semantics, and focused purely on the information content.

They define semantic information as: Information which helps an object stay away from thermodynamic equilibrium (no different from entropic noise). Information then has meaning for a receiver if it helps them stay alive. The very same message may be completely "meaningless" to another receiver.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.08053 Semantic information, autonomous agency, and nonequilibrium statistical physics

> Shannon information theory provides various measures of so-called "syntactic information", which reflect the amount of statistical correlation between systems. In contrast, the concept of "semantic information" refers to those correlations which carry significance or "meaning" for a given system. Semantic information plays an important role in many fields, including biology, cognitive science, and philosophy, and there has been a long-standing interest in formulating a broadly applicable and formal theory of semantic information. In this paper we introduce such a theory. We define semantic information as the syntactic information that a physical system has about its environment which is causally necessary for the system to maintain its own existence. "Causal necessity" is defined in terms of counter-factual interventions which scramble correlations between the system and its environment, while "maintaining existence" is defined in terms of the system's ability to keep itself in a low entropy state. We also use recent results in nonequilibrium statistical physics to analyze semantic information from a thermodynamic point of view. Our framework is grounded in the intrinsic dynamics of a system coupled to an environment, and is applicable to any physical system, living or otherwise. It leads to formal definitions of several concepts that have been intuitively understood to be related to semantic information, including "value of information", "semantic content", and "agency".
But this is true for the game console market in the comment I originally replied to. When you buy a game you are locked in, you can't put your Halo disk in a playstation or transfer your Nintendo store purchases to Xbox. If you have an Xbox and all your friends load up on Playstation, its going to be a significant cost to get the new console and library you want to play multiplayer with them. For some reason people care more now that its a phone than a game console.
well, people will buy a console (i have a ps5) nvidia does not want that.

While I do agree that it is still possible to use the "old" technology for web development, I don't agree that there is "no reason stopping you" from using them.

I'm a recent CS graduate. In my final year's project, I was working on a website using PHP on the backend. My advisor told me that I would fail if I didn't use anything "more advanced", so I had to learn and work on Laravel.

After college, I applied for a lot of jobs as a web developer, and every single on of them requested that I learn one or more front-end frameworks. I always show them some websites I made with pure HTML5-CSS-JS on the front end, and they seem to like them, but when they learn that no flashy framework was used, their tone changes.

So yeah, unless someone is able to rely entirely on freelancing or launching a startup, there are reasons stopping me from not using frameworks.
