I’m convinced that dreams, at least in my case, are from past lives. I don’t have any strong religious or other reasons to believe this. It’s just a strong hunch.

I’ve only had 1-2 vivid lucid dreams. One was where I was a doctor tending to a patient and we were located in an old cabin that would have been typical in the old west. It was so vivid that it was as if I was remembering a past life.

I’ve also had many deja vu moments where I’m visiting somewhere in real life and I swear I remember it from a dream.

I'd imagine with SV money and SV knowledge building a secure exchange, with proper cold wallets and processes in place to secure them and manage access, is not that difficult.

I get the impression that a lot of exchanges are (or were in the early days) built by 'enthusiasts' who know just enough tech to be dangerous.

Thanks for explaining. Would it work if they put receivers on a long pole, spaced 3m apart? Maybe they could mount them on the edge of the solar panel array, which is ~30m long [0].

It's happened before, it'll likely happen again: a new high that's multiples of the previous high, months of exuberance, and then a 70%+ drop. 2-3 years of teeth gnashing and accumulation, and repeat the process. It seems to come several months after Bitcoin's halvings.

Declaration: i hate uber and refuse to use them for myself, I've never run the app. I have nothing against the drivers who seem nice people. The company is a scofflaw, and sucks income and driver renumeration into a Californian VC suck hole.

I know the taxi industry was broken before Uber.

Somebody then asked "how does it suck money, its never been in profit" to which i want to reply, its valued at $100b, it has $25b of assets and 11b of revenue, and its using transfer pricing and intellectual property law to suck money out of every economy worldwide. The VCs and principals must be laughing themselves sick because by the time it falls over their WORST outcome is billions, not tens of billions, of retained value, to them. They won.

To me, this is a nail in the coffin of the gig economy. Its fundamentally flawed. It's bad, it marginalised people, killed people, and broke the law.

Yeah, it was a bit messier than that though. There was a ton of internal politics between 2004-2006, that Wikipage makes it sound way too clean. You're right though that S3 and SQS launched before EC2 did, but EC2 was highly politically charged internally.

filed under "no shit".
For many shapes, there are multiple points of stability! If you drew a cross, you'd find that it could stabilize on any two corners.

Stability of a floating object is determined by a "righting arm": A torque produced by the horizontal offset between the object's center of mass, and the center of buoyancy (The center of mass of the portion underwater).

Sometimes, that torque produces "positive stability" -- When the object tilts into the water, the center of buoyancy shifts in a direction that increases the righting arm force and pushes the object back upright.

On the other hand, other shapes produce "negative stability" -- Tilting the object shifts the center of buoyancy in a direction that reduces the righting arm force, so the object flips.

This is why ships are (roughly) square shaped when looking at a cross section: If you visualize a floating box tilting to the right, more of the right side will be underwater. This produces a righting arm force that turns the box back to the left.

The worst case for stability is a circle, since no matter what angle the shape is at, the righting moment is always zero -- There's no horizontal offset between the center of mass and center of buoyancy, so a circle never has a righting force.

I'm currently using an older Kindle (the Touch, which sadly doesn't include a backlight at all) with a booklight cover, but it's getting very slow thanks to what I assume is storage degradation after 12 years of use. I'd really like to upgrade to a better ereading solution, but I'm at a loss right now. Here are my requirements:

- Bigger screen than my Touch (7" would be about perfect, I suspect, but I'm not too picky)
- Backlight with warmness adjustability (my current light keeps my girlfriend up at night because it's not embedded)
- The ability to take notes on device would be a nice add, I like to annotate PDFs and such
- Ample storage to use for another 10ish years.

I don't need many bells and whistles. Unfortunately the Kobo series looks like it's a bit out of date right now, or I would just get one of those. Any recommendations?

Due to regulatory capture Coinbase gets away with charging literally 10x higher fees than international exchanges, as US regulations essentially ban Americans from trading on most of the popular international exchanges, so Coinbase has little competition.

One more fun thing in this vein: edit-and-execute-command is a readline binding commonly / by default bound to ^X^E (at least in "emacs mode").

It takes whatever command you're working on at the shell prompt and opens it with your $EDITOR (or $VISUAL if you have that defined separately for some reason). When you save and quit your editor, the shell runs the edited command.
In C applications people will generally fprintf(stderr, "Froboz option requires a grimulax!\n");exit(EXIT_FAILURE); Which is pretty useful.

In rust, my experience is that it's far more common to unwrap an empty result and just toss a panic which spams some almost completely inscrutable error at the user.

I'm not sure what the cause is-- it's been suggested to me by a heavy duty rust user that part of it is norms for library code (where exiting-as-error-handling would not be very welcome) and applied them to the whole ecosystem.

I've also been told that it's not uncommon for people to use library code for handling stuff that would be manually written in C but then the library code under-documents what the failure cases are and so the caller can't easily/obviously do anything more than panic on an empty result.

Whatever the cause the end result is that literally every single program I pull off github written in rust I encounter some panic. In fact, as of a about a month ago even firefox started regularly crashing for me w/ some panic in servo (triggered by twitter).

The majority of the panics I get from stuff are just trivial "You used the wrong command-line options", but it's hard to resist the impression that software written in rust is simply a lot lower quality. It might well be that some of this is software that wouldn't even have been published had it been attempted in C, or that it's just because a greater percentage is written by developers who are new to programming (or at least new to systems programming)... but that isn't observable.

The net result though is that it leaves me feeling uneasy and dubious about the claims of rust lowering defect rates, especially since there has been no formal validation of those beliefs. It sounds credible for sure, but if rust is freeing up programmers to worry about things other than memory safety, it's not showing from my experience. You can go back 5 years in my history and see that I promoted rust a lot -- I even opted for my former company to use it. But that was before encountering other people's rust code in practice.

I think for years java suffered greatly from similar bad impressions-- where you don't expect to be able to run something you found without dealing with a maze of inscrutable null pointer exceptions.
I've done pretty much the same thing with idle games. They make me really obsessive. I edit a save file or inject some javascript in the console once I've decided to quit. Once I have infinite resources, I can see how shallow the endgame is and I lose any will to play.
Google has a specific process for resigning and writing a resignation letter. Saying "if you don't do this let's talk about my end date" isn't it. When the company decides you're not working there anymore and tells you so, it's a firing. That shouldn't be hard to grasp.
As I said elsewhere in the thread, I've been sending the emails piecemeal so I have time to reply to people and answer questions.

I periodically say things with a positive connotation then flip to saying it with a negative connotation in the same paragraph. More often than not, it is intended to illustrate how we say things is intended to shut down conversation.

Claiming that the GPL infects software is very much one of those cases. Worse yet, it is an inaccurate statement since the GPL does not infect software. The most you can say is that some people choose not to modify, extend, or link to GPL software since they do not want the apply the terms of the GPL to their own work. That is a legitimate concern. Implying that the use of GPL software along side proprietary software somehow infects the proprietary software is intended to set up a negative connotation that has no basis in reality.

The assumption that corporations, not courts, decide legality seems inane to me. The company you worship could commit a crime and then engage in a cover up to destroy all evidence before discovery could occur. The easiest, recent example is Ebay:

It could demonstrate net power production, at a power density 400 times worse than a fission reactor.

May be a correlation can be made with Siri. Has the number of people named Siri (if any) gone up? From an ethical point I wonder the true affect of using a name that already exists in society. I do see the effect it has as it is intended to be more human-like.

I should have explained better: why are smart people so bad at navigating the workplace? Gebru’s email was insane.
>Yes. So what? I don't think the typical Bitcoin proponent is the kind of person to get outraged at Pareto distributions. They are against governments..

The problem here is equality. People invented and see bitcoin as a "store value" because they want to protect themselves from the inequality being forced upon them from governments printing fiat. As so, your idea that people:

>don't get outraged at Pareto distributions

is in contradiction to

>Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) does bring value to our society as a store of wealth

After all, if people weren't outraged at Pareto distributions why would it matter to them to store their wealth?

To reiterate, the greater point being made is that bitcoin ultimately won't solve anything regarding inequality. Adopting bitcoin isn't going against the man, it's just shifting who the man is from being "the government/FED" to "crypto exchanges/peddlers/other earlier hoarding crypto entities". With time people will come to hate such authorities just as they've come to hate the government. I mean just look at how people hate on mature big corps like Google these days, when many gave it fonder thoughts during it's earlier days... Bitcoin will be no different.
My general impression of this entire thing, starting with Gebru being fired, is that the department should have never been named "ethical AI" anything.

It's research into social stuff. How AI interacts with things like faces and how that gets biased by a lot of social issues, like racism and existing class stratification related to race (among other things).

These are things that can have "ethical" implications but when you start talking about "Ethical AI," you inadvertently convince people "We are the Good Guys. We will treat everyone in some extremely above board fashion. Our little department is going to single-handedly right all historical racial and gendered wrongs ever in the history of the universe and all the baggage all of society is living with as a consequence."

Good luck with that. It isn't happening and the implied contract there suggesting it will is just going to piss people off and give them unrealistic expectations.

No, I am absolutely not justifying shitty behavior of any sort, not in this case nor in the general case. Don't come at me with ridiculous accusations of that sort.

It's hard to make progress. It's actively counterproductive to inadvertently set expectations that this one department will meet some crazy strict set of ethics at all times every minute of every day in contrast with the entire rest of the world where we duke it out for small gains on a regular basis.
One of the first things I did. I expected it to turn on its side. In general if you draw a triangle it will end up with one of the edges up.
