Exactly. There's so many expensive treatments, devices, software, etc. that don't get offered to everyone. Unfortunately everything has a price

My workplace is currently struggling to sell a more expensive device, where in the majority of the cases it will offer no advantage over the original device, but in some cases it will be life saving.

Naturally, many health services are dragging their feet on wanting to buy our device.
Can't there be a build option to not use the LLVM submodule, and instead use the system LLVM? Assuming there are tests for these LLVM bugs, and assuming the patches are indeed being merged, wouldn't a CI be able to catch when it is safe for downstream users that want to use upstream LLVM to update their Rust installation?

I think it's likely that there will be "system Rust" which is used to compile libraries used by the OS, but this is independent of the toolchain and crates that most developers use for their own development.

In a binary distribution, you don't necessarily need to install the system toolchain, unless you want to work on the system.

I can certainly argue against that claim, using your source.

According to figure 2-1, the increase in incarceration rates clearly starts in 1974, after Nixon left office, and was increasing most quickly in the 80s and 90s. From 1969 to 1974, while Nixon was in office, the incarceration rate was actually lower than any time since the 1920s.

At least, that's what your source says. I can't vouch for its accuracy.
There is absolutely no comparison to be made there. The percentage of Bitcoin usage that is criminal is just massively, MASSIVELY bigger than the same for USD.
How can companies not have ransomware in their threat models, with a tested recovery plan and tested offsite backups?

Too many big corps have been victimized to think that it can't happen to anyone. You must assume it will happen, and when it does you must have a plan to recover.

“Take care of it for free” == put it in a hole in their ground because for the developed world, its “outta site, outta mind”. Pretty stunning ethical blind spot we all have, really. At best, it’s a case of wishful thinking, on behalf of developed-world consumers, that once it’s in the bin something responsible is being done with it.
Thank you! That was a really helpful response.

That makes a lot more sense that many transactions are included within a block. So effective transaction fees are likely in the few cents USD range.

I've read that one issue with the latency of Bitcoin transactions is that many of the large miners from China have network issues. Would raising the block size to 10-100MB cause significant latency issues for transactions even if one could fit a lot more transactions into a single block?
Here's what I thought when I read "e-paper calendar." You know how most calendars have a gorgeous photo above the dates (that changes with each month?)

- Is there any way you could have a larger screen (or a second screen) just to reproduce the feel of having the grid of dates below an eye-catching photo? (I remember being really impressed by the pictures of famous authors Amazon used as screensavers on early editions of the Kindle -- and thought it'd be fun to see some high-quality nature photos in black-and-white e-ink.)

- If this ever became a commercial product, people could even use their own photos.

- Images could even be put on "shuffle" -- so the e-ink calendar had an entirely different image above the dates every day of the month.

Of course all this is USA-specific.

In my area of Ireland, around the early 90s, the pattern for all local numbers changed from 091-85xxx to 091-555xxx. You could omit the 091 when dialling local numbers. Since all my friends lived nearby, most of my dialling (and my own number) started with 555.
Remote start is a luxury! And I wish I had it when I was parking far away from the office. Imagine walking a few miles to your car in a frigid Chicago winter. And then you get to sit in a cold car for even longer.
Bitcoin is putting a cash price on energy consumption. I see this turning into a new positive.

If it has CUDA support it might make sense post-hashing for a cheap deep learning setup. I have two P106-100s (last gen "mining-only" cards) that were very cheap (compared to a GTX 1060) secondhand. The only hit is in PCI-E bandwidth if they decide to go with nerfed PCI-E 1.1 only.

Do you have a source for that claim? Household savings were up across all American income categories in 2020.

The $600 / week federal unemployment benefit that ended in July 2020 was the most significant (accidental) antipoverty program in decades. It lasted long enough that it’s effects will probably be felt for a year or more.
Why would I want something like that on an external resource like a wiki? What's wrong with having it right there in the source in a README.md?

Easily searchable on my machine with grep or ack or whatever you use. Many tools (such as github, many IDEs etc.) open it up with when you open up the project, including formatting it. If you really want, you can serve it up somewhere via HTTP. When something changes I can commit it right with the changes I'm making.

You should have a look at the relevant literature. There have been several calculations made on how much overprovisioning is needed to run the grid only on wind, hydro and solar. It is significant but doable.

If anyone wants of a concrete reason to formalize mathematics, consider this. The classification of finite simple groups is a major result in mathematics that is a foundation for many others. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_finite_simpl... for more.

However at the time the proof was finishing, people were leaving the field, and the very people who proved it did not feel that their results were checked. They were not confident of the result. And nobody has been able to review the proof.

This began a decades long effort, which is currently incomplete, to produce a second proof that is more understandable. That effort seems to have fizzled out.

So one of the most important results in mathematics in the 20th century does not have a proof that anyone can understand or review. And this is true despite a number of very smart people devoting their entire lives to the subject.

I maintain that no amount of human verification and re-verification will result in my being as confident of this result as I am about most mathematical results that I know. The only way to actually make this into something we should be confident of is to translate the existing proofs to something computer checkable.

ETOPS is "Extended Twin OPerationS". It doesn't have anything to do with water. It has to do with range from an alternate airport when flying twin engine aircraft.

I don’t disagree that Slack _can_ be a knowledge base, but it’s not by default. For something like you mentioned, and I’m not kidding, I would have immediately written it down in a doc for environment troubleshooting. Something like Guru can actually help you do this automatically in Slack. That way you can add it to your existing knowledge base. This helps employees transition from “hey let me ask Bob” to “hey I’ll just check the wiki”. When the default is to check the docs, instead of asking “Bob” you know you’re on the right track.

The big assumption: interest rates will not rise. This assumption is based on the assumption that the fed can control interest rates. But if asset prices rise, and alternative currencies are considered to be less-risky than the dollar (e.g. yen or electronic currencies) then the return on US bonds will go up. When returns go up, interest payments go up and crowd out government expenditures.

It's not wear levelling, but yes, my understanding is that Li-ion batteries still last longer if you don't fully top them up and don't fully discharge them.

I guess the decision to take down the channel wasn't as black and white as they originally thought.
Not sure what a thinly resourced piece like this is doing so high up on HN. There’s really very little evidence that this has anything to do with racial slurs.

From a quick read: last June, the channel was banned for “harmful and dangerous” content. The ban was removed in under 24 hours. YouTube has not confirmed the reason. And yet:

> Experts suspect that it was the usage of words like "black" and "white" that confused the Yutube's AI filters.

Well, if experts said it, it just be true! The experiment they ran is speculative as best and the article just ran with it as absolute fact. If the filter was caused by use of “black” and “white” wouldn’t every chess channel fall victim to it? The filter isn’t new, why was it triggered once last June?

A lot of questions raised and an article that has no interest in answering them. It’s credited to “Buzz Staff”… I think it’s always suspect when no one wants to attach their name to something they wrote. A smell of clickbait running all the way through this one.
Interesting; never thought of that side of the coin

Well, I stand corrected and can't find a way to edit my perpetuation of the myth. I live in Georgia so here's my data of spending per student per distrct

Atlanta Public Schools: $15300
Fulton: $12700
Gwinnett: $9500
Forsyth: $9200
Dekalb County: $8800

I left Dekalb for Gwinnett. Gwinnett and Forsyth in general have much better schools, but spending is similar. Atlanta Public Schools has the highest spending in the state, and is the source of the cheating scandal from years back and in general does not have great schools.
It's definitely not this simple.

How would you execute an exchange ban politically? Any politicians who did this would be responsible for instantly vaporizing tons of value owned by an increasingly non negligible fraction of the population that spans a broad spectrum of political affiliation.

An exchange ban also wouldn't stop bitcoin, because the network would still continue running and anyone cutoff and stuck with bitcoin can still use it as a medium of exchange, and it could kick off its development as a direct unit of account. An exchange ban might even make using bitcoin as currency even easier, because if it's not legally exchangeable for fiat, how do you tax cap gains on it?

Stopping bitcoin is a REALLY hard problem. It would require a massive coordinated crack down by every government on the planet. And then you're left with a prisoner's dilemma. What happens if China or Russia publicly go along with such a ban, but secretly keep supporting it and buy up coins for themselves, preparing for a day when it will be the global reserve currency that dethrones the dollar? It's a similar game theory problem to why we will likely never live in a world without nuclear weapons.

The reason this will probably never happen is because every government will think through this game theory, and realize the risk of being on the wrong side of a potentially ineffective ban and hamstringing your nation's citizens and companies from participating and developing on the new global financial system, is greater than the cost of just capitulating and adapting to live with it.
The 2nd wave is about to end in germany, the numbers are going down each day. Because of that they scheduled the schools to open monday (today in germany). But the teachers and staff haven't been vaccinated yet.

The official numbers released over the weekend suggest a steep increase in cases, with the variants which spread 75% faster.

This has been predicted weeks ago by leading scientists and chancelor merkel warned about it too, but it looks like some key people chose to ignore those warnings sadly.

Edit: The numbers for the weekend are usally much lower because they test less, but its higher than all week long.
“ The researchers now suggest that social-media platforms should incorporate chess language in their algorithms to avoid future incidents like this.”

Sure, and? You get other benefits, those might not be relevant for you in which case keep using conventional payment networks. But if things like counterparty risk of your payment processor come into your calculations, even $10 dollars a transaction migth be a good deal.

> Asking if your wants are "real" or just part of a purposeless process doesn't really add much to the discussion at hand.

You were asking: in what sense does the model itself "want" to achieve its goal?

IMO there is no much difference between my own "want" and "want" of a simpler model.

Granted, I am more skilled at achieving instrumental goals under more varied set of conditions.

But as I said, I do not understand why I have the goals I have.

I also strongly believe that I do not control my own goals.

There is no mechanism in physics that would allow for control of goals.
Is it not the same with most aspects of software as consumption reaches economic critical mass?
