As far as I understand it SBIRs are a way to get seed rounds, maybe a series A, in silicon valley parlance. I'm sure there's an ecosystem of people in the know who get them regularly, and it's not a meritocracy. It's just kind of small change vs private equity investing that I'm just amazed to have found somebody who seems to have a grievance against it. But I haven't lived your experiences so who am I to kibitz. If you're successful over there more power to you.

There was supposed to be a nuclear renaissance kicked off by the loan guarantees passed under Bush. The AP1000 was supposed to be safer, simpler, more efficient and easier to build.

However, the 2 plants that started under Obama were failures, with one getting cancelled after spending $9B on a hole in the ground and the other about to come online after going 2x+ over time and money budgets. Westinghouse, the maker of the AP1000, went through bankruptcy as a result. All prospective AP1000 projects have been halted.

No generator in their right mind would order one without huge additional subsidy from the government, guaranteeing against construction risk.
Personally I'm pretty glad that most projects don't break backwards compatibility in config files across the globe for flavour-of-the-month American politics, but hey, you do you.
“It’s all fine just shut up. Only 50 people died. CRIME ISDOWN”

I can’t believe folks like you can’t hear your own idiocy. And if crime is your only measure of a society heading in the right direction, you are denser than lead.

It’s not alarmist to say a dipshit had the football and that scared people. How is that alarmist? Huh? are you saying crime is down, so he wasn’t a dipshit? Or, crime is down so I don’t need to worry.

People born of the highschool age have had access to computer at least 10 times more powerful than when I was the same age, and with a lot more material on the internet and a more mature field as a whole. It would be stupid to feel bad by comparing yourself. He mentions that he's been programming for "a decade" by high school. There were no computer science classes in high school in America when I went 10 years ago. So he seems to have had good exposure from his parents as well.

That said, he does seem to be taking full advantage of his advantages. He's the kind of CS major I wish I had encountered when I was in school. Too many of them just seemed to slip in for the 6 figure salaries on the rise.

Also it's pretty nostalgic how obvious the wording on his site is as being poised as a resume. It reminds me of my career start. Though with just this PL project, his resume is already stronger than most his age.

> so they're still going to be doing the BTC->XMR->BTC->exchange swap in order to hide their identity.

Wouldn't this just shift the risk to the exchanges who are now holding tracable proceeds of crime?

To my knowledge, there is at least some amount of identity verification on the major exchanges, so presumably that they're fronting with stolen identity documents and the exchange is the one "holding the bag" so to speak?
My friend, this bank the unbanked meme is a tired trope that all the cryptocurrency apologists love to push. But does anyone really want to be their own bank? Consider the following...

- You could lose your wallet and have nobody to phone in to get your information back (regular banks often can help you here)

- Conversely, you may think "Gee, I should make backups of my keys!" which isn't a bad strategy, except if any one of your backups is compromised, you lose everything, and each new backup creates an inherent new risk in getting leaked

- You could get some trojan horse with steals your cryptocurrency, and once again, you're SOL

- There's a lot of moving parts that all need to be present to make cryptocurrency even remotely viable to so-called unbanked classes (I presume you mean poor people that have little means in the first place?)... like an active internet connection to talk to said blockchain, possibly even a vendor or other party even willing to deal with cryptocurrency in the first place

- The volatility swings are absolutely ridiculous

And of course let us not forget that those that simply want to transfer to someone, then have that someone quickly convert to their home currency of choice may not necessarily be possible, due to some exchange level ban by their country's exchange controls.

I wish cryptocurrency proponents would just be honest and just say they want to make a quick buck with as little effort as possible, and leveraging the peanut gallery to get here is the best way to do it.

Sounds unethical.

Yeah, pretty stupid name, if you want to google it. Why they made the change was explained in the blog post: the old name was too specific and describing only one of their services (the one that they have launched with), that is, international transfers. But they already provide foreign bank account numbers (a.k.a. borderless accounts, which I depend on a lot) and you can keep a balance, and convert money and they have a debit card as well. Almost like banking. And I'm pretty sure they want to get into banking.

Have you looked into git-annex?

Git annex lets you track references to binary files, only using git for storing references to file hashes.

And you can use custom back ends to efficiently store differential data.

For example, I have an annex repo that stores about 150G of text files, but it uses bup to compress it down to about 20G, while I can still have access to different versions via git.

I think there are two slightly different approaches.

Your point is completely correct. As is the other comment here at about night and day. The lists are frequent. And not unique to European cultures.

But it's also not reasonable to say that in our particular culture, meaning as a political and social context.

Because I'm trying to make a bigger point than just race, I could imagine reading a similar things to what you're writing back in the late-C20 saying that 'Man' has been nongendered for centuries and in many cultures and in all kinds of language. Hi wouldn't disagree.

But then the next step: so women shouldn't have been worried about companies wanting to hire businessmen. That just doesn't seem ok.

So I definitely think that 'Black equals bad, white equals good' Has all kinds of historical significance, non racist links, and would not have been considered weird until very recently. But in our context I'm not offended that it would be something we find alternatives for.

Although the rebranding is probably unnecessary, it is still a good move if the company has ambition beyond fund transfer --- perhaps into alternative financial services, non-bank assets, or other types of nomadic fund application. I have to agree there are too many geographical restrictions in today's financial systems, and if their strong brand position can help to loosen those grips a little, more power to them.
No but that is the problem. It's not really a metaphor if it's a dictionary word that has had it's meaning for centuries. It's a word used to describe something.

What you are doing is using an old historical definition for a word that was used in a different context.

A word I use is meaningless if you exclude the other words around it. You exclude the context in order to feel offended by the word.

And you're using your subconscious racial prejudice to look at a word and feel offended by it. When I look at blacklist I think of the colour black and how the colour is darker. Darkness is commonly a negative thing. Thus if I don't want something I put it on a blacklist. Where as the colour white is the brightest option and is something normally associated with positive.

Do you complain when a movie uses darkness to create a scary atmosphere? Would a Slenderman that is white be as scary as a Slenderman that is black to you? No. Because colour is used to trigger different emotional and psychological responses. But this has nothing to do with race. Nowhere did I need to mention or think about race here.

You're choosing to associate a word with a negative when others who don't have these kinds of racial prejudices are able to look at the words context and instantly understand what it means without ever thinking about a race.

Trust me, your word policing is not going to fix a problem with racism. All it does is reveal how you feel when you see a word.

When I see blacklist I'm not thinking about race. When you see blacklist you are. To me that indicates a racist ideology.

Do you feel using the phrase "black market" is wrong? If so then what about "grey market"? "White market" isn't a word that is used so there is no opposing "positive" colour to "black market". So is the phrase still bad to you?

If somehow black market is okay with you then your logic against blacklist makes no sense. And if black market is not okay with you then it also makes no sense logically because grey market is not based on a race.

Interesting how you associate these words with race yet their origins don't relate to race at all but instead a colour.
Apple tries to force you to use the Photos app on the Mac to store your photos. But I never trusted it. Maybe because I didn’t understand what data model it was using behind the scenes. They don’t advertise that part. Even though for the most part it works pretty well. In fact, for most daily uses, the Photos app works almost magically.

But once, after a few years of perfect usage, the program crashed. Then it started crashing more regularly. Then finally it completely died. Data corrupted. Completely unusable. Major system malfunction.

I lost all my photos and videos in the Photos app.

But because I was always paranoid of it, I had the original pictures backed up elsewhere. So data saved. But I never trusted the Photos app again.
I think countries like Australia, New Zealand, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, and South Korea show that lockdowns can be very effective at stopping spread. However, I think countries like Germany are currently showing us that just because it’s called a lockdown, doesn’t mean it’s effective. See also, California ending lockdowns while still having a high positivity rate.
A killer app would prove utility. Something that shows that it has use outside of the ideological and invested. In other words, something that someone on the outside can use. The internet is decentralized and produced "killer apps" that did just that almost immediately. People used the internet and their use of it only increased over time.

Cryptocurrency cannot sustain that. DApps are effectively useless. Blockchains are expensive and environmentally destructive merkle trees and do nothing that git couldn't do faster and easier and cheaper. Decentralization has not proven itself to be useful at all to anyone.

A killer app doesn't even have to be complicated, it only has to be useful. Nothing about cryptocurrency is useful. It is an ouroboros of busywork and self-justification.

So I would ask, why wouldn't a new technology need to demonstrate utility?
Everyone needs commands like "pip install 'spacy==2.3.5'" to work reliably in the future, so that you can go back and bisect errors. You need to be able to get back to a particular known-good state, and work through changes

A tremendous amount of material goes into building a nuclear reactor, ton after ton of rebar and concrete. If you look at the total mass of materials for a GW reactor, it's not so different than a GW of solar panels.

If you are honestly worried about this, compare the amount of material that goes into a solar panel to the quantity of fuel needed to generate an equivalent amount of energy in that panels lifetime. Yet the damage we complain about with fossil fuels is not the mining damage, it's the change to the atmosphere. If this amount of material is really so stressful to you, compare the amount of material we use to just build the housing necessary for the world, to the amount of material needed to provide their energy needs. A typical single family roof has more than enough square footage to fully provide for all the energy needs of a household, now think of the orders of magnitude more material that are below that roof than the solar panels consist of.

However far more of the panels are recyclable, and valuable enough to be recycled. There's aluminum, glass, etc.

Solar also really works very well dual purposed with other land uses. Whether that's farming, or over parking lots, or on roofs. For dual purposing solar and farming on the same land, each use loses less than 50% productivity.

Land use and pane waste are complete red herrings that don't pass a sniff test. They persist because there are powerful forces that keep on repeating these concerns, but to be truly concerned about them, one should be far far far more concerned about every single aspect of modern life. Since I never hear the people bemoaning solar pane waste also advocate for banning single family homes and more than 30 m^2 of living space per person, I'm not sure these complaints can be taken as good faith.
Perhaps it's just your display/eyes? I find them readable even on maximum fade.

The referenced paper is from 2009 and points out a complexity of 2^123 (or roughly 10^27). Bitcoin miners currently put out ~150 EH/s, so about 10^17. Only judged by the rounds, double-sha256 (Bitcoin) has 128 and md5 has 4, so let's assume they'd do 10^18 hashes per second on md5. So it would take them about 31 years to find a collision.

If the NSA found a way to get the complexity down a bit more (they had a decade) and the target is valuable enough (imagine, for example, having a "valid" TrueCrypt executable), this is not in the realm of impossible anymore.

Now, of course, the NSA will probably not outcompute the Bitcoin blockchain and transfering the hash rate is not that simple, but they do have a lot of power and cryptographers. What I'm trying to say is that the orders of magnitude are not in the "totally impossible" space anymore. Yes, you're probably safe, but given the availability of secure alternatives, there's really no reason not to get off the thin ice.
Except bitcoin isn't anonymous or decentralized at all...

> State Department Lawyers Concluded Insufficient Evidence to Prove Genocide in China

> The U.S. State Department’s Office of the Legal Advisor concluded earlier this year that China’s mass imprisonment and forced labor of ethnic Uighurs in Xinjiang amounts to crimes against humanity—but there was insufficient evidence to prove genocide, placing the United States’ top diplomatic lawyers at odds with both the Trump and Biden administrations, according to three former and current U.S. officials.

Sure, it sucks that unpinned dependencies lose historical context as the deps move forward, and I’ve personally suffered this in my own library maintenance work... but there’s still the fundamental issue of conflicting pinned versions if there’s multiple libraries.

(At the app level, the right approach to “going back in time” is for those apps to pin all their deps, with a lockfile or ‘pip freeze’, not just top level ones. That is, one records the deps of requests==1.0.5 in addition to requests itself.)
This is quite spot on.

Cryptocurrency lately has become this techbro version of a white-savior complex, where we think this magic technology will somehow uproot the lower lesser classes from their eternal toil and discord, yet I've seen plenty of these kinds of folks either not bother to get in on this (because it's likely too difficult to comprehend) or lose their shirt because they didn't make it on the right end of a transaction and lost more money to some cryptocurrency-rich fat cat, laughing all the way to the bank.

> Nuclear fuel is several orders of magnitude more energy dense than solar or wind

I think that you'll find the comparison in fuel densities between nuclear and solar/wind does not show nuclear in a good light.

Since nuclear fuel doesn't get converted into energy on its own, you had better also include the reactor, turbines, and cooling system if you are going to talk about comparisons of density.

And once those get factored in, nuclear plants are found to be absolutely massive, with nuclear and the fuel-less solar and wind needing the same order of magnitude of mass to generate electricity.

> What are you basing this on? Nuclear technology is being held back by regulation and economics, not by engineering or technology.

The bad economics are driven by the engineering and technology. And the regulations are also driven by the very nature of the technology. It's not great technology for the modern world.

Yucca Mountain hasn't accepted waste and there is no plan for it to begin accepting it. The government collects a tax on nuclear generation and used it to construct Yucca Mountain but political considerations have blocked it being used.

Really interesting comment on that video which might give some explanation:

The pilots of Colgan Air had to attend a "tail-stall" course about a month prior to the accident. As a professional pilot I know that if I found myself in a stall less than a month after training about it, the first thing that comes to mind is a "tail stall" and the recovery procedure is counter-intuitive (pitch up, not down). A tail stall has very subtle differences from that of a regular and are hard to distinguish which are which.

I have don’t know how accurate it is, but it’s a solid reminder how complex some seemingly obvious things to non experts are. https://aircrafticing.grc.nasa.gov/1_3_4_3.html

As an equally ignorant non-American, I'd like you to look at a map of all US fleets for 30 seconds

By doing so you'll be able to see that the US Navy is strategically positioned to defend international trade against any kind of blockade that an enemy would try to pull up in a strategic chokepoint

If you squint, though, you'll be able to see that coincidentally the US can use those same fleets to enact said chokeholds. In other words: no one can have a significant world-wide logistics network without the implied consent of the US. Do you know what kind of requires this scale of transportation? a world war between great powers

Is it clear now what you're paying for?
