Generally when you just delete a file, its contents are marked as "unused", but not actually erased. This is why deleting a large file takes the same time as deleting a small file. Then, whenever a new file is created, it might be put (partially) on top of the old file, overwriting the old contents for good.
the whole file is still there until it gets overwritten by new data

You're right, I totally misread what you said.

I think the answer to what you actually said is; miners don't control consensus on the network - it's not up to them, it's up to fullnodes/users who can change the ruleset whenever they want.
> That's assuming you want to copy the the whole thing

Right, but if you don't, then you definitely don't need to query the file length in the first place...
Do you modeset your monitor to 24Hz when you watch a movie or a video? Do you remember to change between 24 Hz and 29.97 Hz?

The solution to this is higher refresh rate and/or VRR.

VRR would allow you to sync to any needed timing (regardless of VRR range, as multiples of fps are fine), dynamically, with no need to modeset to fixed supported refresh rates.

120Hz not only happens to be a multiple of both 24 and 30, but judder from such low framerate input becomes irrelevant at these rates, with VRR instead serving high-framerate content that is slightly out of phase.
As I understand it, the economics of machine shops are a bit weird because of the financing cost of keeping up with the latest equipment. If you have old machines, and not money to buy new machines, then you run old machines.

The most modern shops are in extremely high demand, expensive, always busy, happy to turn down work. If you can design something in a way that lends itself to conventional techniques, you can get it into a smaller shop that may have some idle capacity, or run on the "tool room" machines in the big shop. The big shops always keep a few old machines around for tooling and jig work, rework, and one-offs.

The smaller shops are also willing to take work that's not 100% detailed, even hand drawings. So you don't necessarily even need a CAD operator. "Do things that don't scale."

In kind of an odd analogy, my old high school band mate built a recording studio from cast-off obsolete equipment that he bought for pennies on the dollar, and it meant that he couldn't take the biggest jobs, but he was instantly profitable and never in debt. Likewise, I have a very small side business that involves some basic metalworking, and I do all of it with powered hand tools and jigs that I made from plywood and carbide drill bushings. My capital cost was under 100 bucks.

The low end of that range in 2005 was also from leaders in the field.

In nominal prices that’s a 31% drop, but we also had ~34% inflation from 2005 to 2021. So relative to pipelines it’s a ~48% drop which is quite significant IMO.
It’s certainly an emergent behavior of some kind, yes. Thanks for the links.

There have been at least five mass extinction events in the last 500 million years. The most recent one wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs, after they had dominated the earth for 100 million years. Tool-using apes with language have been around for less than 5 million. I think it’s far too early to say we’ll survive the next extinction event, or even make it that far before diverging into new species.

I've never quite understood the, "Facebook would be so much better without news," comments I've been seeing the last few days.

I follow ~60 people on FB, most of whom I know IRL. I'm pretty ruthless in unfollowing those that are noisy with memes or other junky stuff.

I'm also conservative with the groups and pages I subscribe to.

You have the controls to curate what goes into your Facebook feed. So the, "So much better," remarks feels like someone flailing around fecklessly when they actually have the power.

Anecdotally I've noticed very little change in my feed since the change here in the Antipodes.

I've posted here before about it. I'm of the opinion that it currently is not decentralized. There is such a shortage of hardware that can be competitive right now and there are only a few organizations that can get their hands on them. I think this problem is just going to get worse when the manufactures start to realize it doesn't make sense to sell any of their miners at all.

>Sure, I also think the way alcohol is treated is problematic too! This article was about Heroin, though.

It really isn't though. Hart's entire thesis is that drugs like heroin are no different than alcohol. The economic damage and emotional brainwashing from 50 years of the racialized war on drugs has ingrained to people's minds that they are somehow different, but they objectively are not. And if we live in a society where it is socially acceptable to be a recreational alcohol user, there is simply no reason other than racism or classism to think that recreational heroin use is not an equally valid way to destress.

>To be honest, I bet my brother in law would have said the same thing about himself -- he is "fulfilling all of his obligations", after all! He did work, aside from periods when he was homeless/unable to hold down steady work/keep himself from spending literally all of his income on drugs. But, the last few years, he has been working and had an apartment, all while using.

And again, this is literally no different from an alcoholic. The entire point is that the substance is not the issue. Addiction is the issue. And addiction stems from factors that are entirely unrelated to the substance itself. Focusing on the substance is like focusing on cheeseburgers as the cause of obesity in our society; it is a profoundly more complex issue than that, and banning cheeseburgers or putting people in jail for eating cheeseburgers will not solve it.
I never understood why empty blocks is allowed... you can start immediately and get a head start over other mining pools. Granted it is just the time to load in transactions from the mempool and hash the result of appending them to the blockchain, but still... if you're in a race, why not take any advantage you can get?

I've monitored the chain for years, and empty blocks are very very common. I know there is a civil war of people that want to make the block size larger vs keep it the same... I think at this point it they would both agree that every block should at least be 90%+ full before it is accepted. That seems like a simple fix.

The attackers would then like just fill up the blocks passing a tiny amount of bitcoin between all their wallets, but at that point they might as well just use the mempool.

In the end, if you have mining dominance, you win. No point denying that. If you want to "ban" miners, or rewrite history, bitcoin is no longer decentralized.

UASF effectively became a negotiation between honest miners and fullnodes. Honest miners are incentivised to close off conflicts because it risks devaluing their future rewards. In this scenario the attacking miner is acting "non-economically" so it's nothing like UASF.
> They remove OrderId's because they deem them "PII"

This has always been a pet peeve of mine, and is clearly intentional by Facebook to prevent businesses from confirming and digging into results.

No other major advertising partner does this. Not Google Ads or Bing, not even Outbrain or Criteo. If these services report a conversion, they return to me the ID I passed to them for the conversion (even if last-click doesn't match).

>We agree then that additional external elements are required to speak of "meaning"

I may or may not be willing to grant this depending on how its cashed out. For example, I have no problem saying that an external element is required to "reveal" the meaning embedded in some system. But that's not the interesting question in my mind. I take the interesting question to be whether or not 'meaning' is objective, i.e. mind independent in some important sense. Do you agree that two independent investigators coming to the same conclusion entails that the content is objective?

>"the program I wrote to invert a matrix has a bug, its output is not the intended effect"

But it still has a causal effect, i.e. it still has some output. 'Intent' is in the vicinity of meaning and so its sufficiently distinct from a pure causal description.

>But I still am not on board with some of the loaded word play.

I'm not too wedded to the particular terms used. The point is mainly that there is some analyzable feature of processes involving mutual information that sits in between causation and mental representations on a spectrum of complexity, and this feature has wide applicability. If you just want to keep 'meaning' in the realm of minds, that's fine. But I wonder how that influences your views on what's possible with AI and machine intelligence.
any specific feature that would motivate you to shell out fifty bucks? (half-joke)

For people who are familiar with this, I have a question. How does research in an industrial lab vs. a university work, insofar as independence is concerned? In a university, aside from well-defined ethics guidelines for conducting research (e.g., involving animal or human subjects), staff are generally free to publish the findings of their research at any venue they see fit. Many are tenured professors, so they also have the added guarantee of tenure, which makes them unfireable save for clear violations of policies such as sexual harassment.

How do these things work at industrial labs, such as those of Google and Microsoft?

It's just a One Major Metropolis versus rural thing. Chicago is Chicago, not Illinois. Watch two Illinoisans try to sort out they're "From Illinois" but one's from anywhere but a Chicago exurb, and they'll say, "Oh, you're from Chicago," not, "cool."

I'd wager the way China would exert control on miners there would be to regulate their access to electricity.
Yep. That's it.
In UO, I once suckered a new player into buying a dragon that wasn't even mine, just with proper timing of pretending to give commands and its natural behaviors. Player was maaaad when realized she'd been taken. But it was kind of neat to realize a whole new dimension of player interaction had opened up with UO. And it scratched a bit of the Ultima 7 itch. At some point the game turned into a grind though, and a lot of players were grinding more than I ever would. The pattern got kind of boring. Have a friend that still plays it though.
Well I guess it is easier to sweep hard problems under the rug than have a dialog with unsatisfied employees.

A lot.

You need to write a drive with zeros(minimum)/random data(preferably) at least once to make forensic recovery difficult. I know all about the "5 times" rule, but I've never heard of anyone recovering a drive after even a single overwrite.

Personally, I just hammer a screwdriver through the platter. It generally converts it into glass shards--the drive sounds like a maraca afterward.

Flash, of course, is different. I suspect that writing zeros/random once is probably enough. However, I tend to just use diagonal cutters and slice through the chips.

If someone wants to reconstruct my drive after I've physically destroyed it, they've probably got enough money to just fabricate the evidence against me anyway.
So, one criteria is bad just because others weren't considered? FWIW, Muslim hijras are not treated badly in these Muslim countries.
It's not really about productivity in the language itself. It's more about the library ecosystem. Numpy and scipy are just so good and nothing really compares. I'm not skittish on writing the algorithm I need myself in Haskell. But when I'm prototyping and quickly trying stuff it's just so much faster if I can call a function and be done with it.

> How would a hyperinflation on the US dollar cause civilization to stop?

The dollar is the value used to denominate world debt via the IMF. It's also (partially related to this fact) the "mattress currency" of a lot of nations... Nations hoard US dollars to back-stop their own economies, since if their currency starts to tank, they can use dollars to pay their international debts.

A worthless US dollar would have wide-ranging international currency disruption.

That link has a bit more, but the main issue is what the others wrote. Deleting a file from your disk may not actually delete it. It can leave an entry in the file system that marks it as deleted (for undeletion later) or it may just remove the entry, in which case the data is still on the disk and recoverable.
The defense is that there are thousands of other cryptocurrencies that would take Bitcoin's place. So the attackers wouldn't gain anything in the end.
China would benefit more by confiscating all hashrate & hoarding all of the BTC for themselves before announcing that BTC is their national currency and driving BTC price to millions per-coin.

It's just as farfetched and unlikely, but anti-Bitcoiners just keep theorizing about a hostile China takeover crashing BTC price as if it's feasible, without considering the inverse.
That map isn't particularly meaningful. Sure, stuff is being built technically. But as far as I know, the main places where it's being done for real are China and India.

The UK for instance has one powerplant actually in construction and it already got a bad rap because it's a bad deal economically.

Besides that, I think you're missing my point. My point is that you have to deal with reality, and reality doesn't really align with the way you want things to work. For instance, you said:

"So why not just build the nuclear plants and skip the renewables?"

My question is: "Who 'we'"? In a lot of countries, there's no "we" that applies. There's a government that sets the rules, and private enterprise that builds the plants. If "we" is the government, then they don't build powerplants themselves. They may allow them to be built, but a company still has to want to.

And if "we" is the commmercial enterprise, then nuclear is far too big for anybody to build it out of sheer altruism or good PR. That's big money territory and it must make a profit.

If you simply impose a carbon tax, private enterprise will just go and build solar. We have no storage? Those companies won't care. It's not their problem to solve. They'll build whatever makes the most money, which is almost definitely not nuclear.

If you want nuclear to happen you'll have to force it somehow, and I'm not seeing any particularly attractive ways of doing so. You want to be the politician who runs on a campaign of forbidding or heavily taxing solar and wind at the same time as dumping billions of $ into nuclear construction? Yeah, that'll go great, I'm sure.

Without a concept of agency it is pointless to talk about “justice”. At the very least, by advocating a notion of justice, you are saying that members of society as a whole have agency to implement that concept of justice.

If we all have no agency, how is a feeling that we should immediately execute all criminals unjust?

It's not just the mechanical weight at the destination and the work required to escape earth's gravity (which is enormous). Mass of the rover also means more fuel to speed up and slow down if there is any delta-V changes en-route, the heat energy that needs to be dissipated during re-entry, the forces on parachute and lander as well. So really, that mass penalty gets paid over and over... and not often linearly.

Most stores buy and hold inventory, taking on the risk of not selling that inventory. Dropshippers send the order to someone else to fulfil, and are essentially glorified lead generators.
I believe its recommended (on Colemak guide) to avoid moving keycaps. You will move the F and J key bumps and find it harder to localize your hand to the keyboard. It also prevents your brain from cheating (reading the keys) instead of training muscle memory.

> It's kind of a stupid idea for anti-racists to even keep using the term, given that the group has no identity outside of defunct 20th century pseudoscience notions of race and preserving and promoting the idea of it as any kind of coherent group is only fortifying tribalist lines we should instead be trying to dissolve.

yeah, this is kind of a tough one, though... because people need to be able to talk about the hegemony of the group that identifies itself as white at the expense of the groups that are excluded from that identification. and always saying something like "the cartel that calls itself white, where some members aren't even consciously colluding" is kind of a clunker. esp for people who don't think/read about this stuff on their own, and who just think of "white" as a simple and natural ethnic delineation, to the degree that any ethnic delineation can be thought of as simple or natural =)

race, including "whiteness" is a scientific and biological fiction invented and accepted to maintain (and hide) a caste system. but through the assiduous maintenance of that lie, it has become a different sort of social reality. not using the term "white" makes it incredibly hard to talk with most people about the issue. but using the term "white" as most people (superficially) think of it also helps cement its pernicious effects.

pretty difficult jam our society has gotten into there.

"the people who call themselves white" is the best terminology approach i've seen to dealing with this, but even that is still quite clunky, and may still make the speaker sound like a hand-wringing liberal to anyone who's not already on board with the viewpoint that race is a pernicious and unscientific lie.
