I think the useful distinction is that, when you teach multiplication as a mechanical computation (arithmetic) it's useful to talk about it as repeated addition.

As you get to negative numbers, rational/irrational numbers, complex numbers, matrices, etc. it becomes more useful to think about multiplication in more abstract ways, among which repeated addition is still often a useful way to look at it.

I also think it's not particularly useful to talk about those other ways to think about multiplication until you actually need to.

It's too easy once you've mastered the concepts to forget how beginners look at them and struggle to understand them. I think the author isn't remembering what it's like to try to understand multiplication as a new concept - I certainly can't remember.
The EV vs Hydrogen debate is fundamentally flawed. It's pitting two technologies as the upstart against each other instead of against the internal combustion engines/traditional oil and gas infrastructure. Its the same thing as saying wind vs solar for electricity when both are needed. Let's move on from this false narrative.

More details: It's flawed because EV and H2 work in so many different markets/use cases and that it isn't a zero sum world where it is an either or. We need both H2 and EVs to knock off traditional ICE and traditional fuel stocks for a cleaner future for future generations. Remember that they will be knocked off the pedestal in the future by something even better hopefully.

As others have mentioned - the debate isn't around which is the most efficient technology though that does help. There are so many different variables involved - too many to put in a HN comment thread.

Also adding to @jefferai's comment, we are working on many "better together" stories that include Vault, Consul, and Nomad. Product's like Boundary have a very large surface area in terms of potential features and road map items. There's a lot of great stuff we're currently working, stay tuned!

Check out the faq/start. I haven't looked into minis, but the larger mavics are well supported.

If you want to really have some fun with your current drone, check out a program called Litchi. It costs lunch to get a copy but it gives you a full ground station with mission planning capabilities, a Google Cardboard compatible FPV function (a bit laggy for precision flying but if you pick you lines through obstacles you will be fine), limited head tracking that moves the camera gimbal as you look around and a heads up display / audio feedback.

All in all, modified dji + litchi + google cardboard headset + burner android phone is a surprisingly capable package that can be repaired, tweaked and has a very low price point if you can navigate the used goods market.

Yes, exactly this. Speculators will speculate, gamblers will gamble, and media consumers will consume media. Nothing I can do about any of that.

But I can regulate myself. Stop trading. Stop consuming media. Stop watching prices. All this short-term stuff is not meaningful.

Time is the true test. What ideas, companies and crypto projects will survive for decades, and which ones are ephemeral get-rich-quick vehicles?

I'd rather put my wealth in a handful of the former than pretend I can beat people smarter and faster than me by trading the latter.

My own psychology is the biggest obstacle to hanging on for multiple 10X's. I'll always sell winners too soon and hang on to losers too long. So for me, the best strategy is to "set it and forget it" and stop paying attention every day or even every week.

That can be reformulated using only real numbers, similar to some math the article mentions for quantum mechanics:

> So that is why I say that yes obviously more partners increases your chance of getting an STD, but you also can't just say that because someone does not have a lot of partners that you can't also risk getting something from them.

I think that's a straw man argument. My reading of the GGP doesn't include any claim that non-casual sex is risk-free, just an implicit suggestion that casual sex is riskier.

Though, the GGP isn't explicit about their claims, so I could very well be misreading them.

My point is that it makes no sense grouping the Gameboy with the same generation as the SNES. That's not how anybody classifies consoles. They have a home console generation and a handheld generation as two different evolution time lines.

I accept your other points though. I might have been a little quick to judge. Sorry for that.

"The service will, eventually, be available as a paid option..."

How my viewpoint has shifted over the years. 10-20 years ago this would have instantly turned me off, but now this is the most exciting line in the entire thing to me. As long as we all expect free, we can't expect privacy.

@Brave team, who I rather expect will be reading this, I can't believe that Cliqz doing tracking on me to improve its results for free will be in my interests if it's free. But if I'm a paying customer, you might be able to convince me that you're doing some semi-invasive tracking but not actually selling it to anyone, because it wouldn't be worth losing me as a customer.

I'm actually excited about the idea of a search engine that I pay for. Been waiting for DDG to do it but last I knew there's still no option there.

Quantised is not synonymous with discretised. The fact that (for example) energy in a simple harmonic oscillator comes in discrete packets doesn't mean that the kinetic energy of a free particle is. Some quantities in quantum mechanics are as continuous as their classical analogues.

For what it's worth, bitcoin aims to deprecate every single brick-and-morter bank as well as all the armored trucks driving paper currency to and from them.

When you start to add up all of the energy that would be saved if bitcoin succeeds, the energy costs associated with mining start looking quite a bit smaller.

Not a physicist, so maybe I took the wrong gist away from the article, but - it seems like what they are saying is that systems that are generally modeled by complex equations have always had real valued equivalents that were known.

So it's not that the complex representation isn't a useful mathematical tool, but that it was an alternate representation that was easier to work with. Can you represent a spring mass dampening with all real valued quantities, even if it's a real piece to work with?

Depends what he is investing in. "Innovative" growth companies? Then ARKK isn't a bad benchmark. QQQ is a lot more conservative compared to what he was investing in.
This is upside down.

There is no reason for Google to pay researchers and to not have some ownership over the process or outcome in some manner, in fact, it's unreasonable to contemplate otherwise.

Google was exceedingly gracious by sponsoring the work and having it make public in the first place.

The demands made of the researchers in question were quite minor, and completely appropriate, and frankly immaterial to the thrust of concerns anyhow.

To boot, accusations of 'racism' are vicious and repulsive.

If researchers want to be completely independent in the terms they might expect in academia - that's entirely understandable - perfectly fine - but they'll have to find jobs elsewhere.

Google has a Search Engine and bunch of other products, and to suggest that their major investment in research should entitle them to some kind of fair parameterize of the process is very reasonable.

To remedy the situation, and an obvious failure on Google's part, they should spend some time thinking about where that line is drawn, and what kind of expectations should be in place. In retrospect, it seems like a management failure for there to have been any misunderstanding on that front. But the point is -> there is a line. Researchers that don't want to with those parameters can make the choice not to. That's why we have both private and publicly funded research.
The 'dog' is Jerry. We all know it.
>Same. I did cost me dearly to listen to the loud voices on HN, people so certain about themselves that they just couldn't envision the possibility they could be wrong.

Are you serious? This isn't a topic that is about being "right or wrong". You can massively criticize Bitcoin and still invest in it, precisely because you understand the risk and are fully aware of its mechanisms and how it relates to other assets. The price doesn't prove anything since its completely arbitrary.

>Fortunately, I did not suffer from this hubris, so when confronted to evidence that I was wrong, I changed my mind.

Sorry, but what hubris? If anything, an increased understanding allows you to be aware of the risks and thus correctly choose your bet size.

>It served me well, but like you I feel so sad these stupid people caused so many hackers to remain poor, and are still hurting the community.

I'm not poor because I worked hard to obtain assets that directly benefit me every month. Meanwhile that expectation doesn't even exist for Bitcoin. It's a pure gamble. The fact that some people got rich is meaningless because that happens with gambling and lotteries as well.

>These negative people are the reason may bright minds will remain chained to a day job at a FANG selling ads and dopamine, instead of really innovating.

Is this supposed to be a joke? FANG employees with 6 digit salaries who are earning more than enough to afford stocks? I said I am not poor but that doesn't change that there is still a huge gap between me and someone who earns $200k per year at that salary the effort and risk needed to increase your wealth is so low that any dead horse can become financially independent.

>Sad, really sad.

The real sadness is that people think that Bitcoin is the solution to economic problems. Instead of building a working economy that helps everyone we get a second generation of people with legacy wealth. A new generation to hate because they got the spoils early. How long until there is a third generation? A fourth? Because you are going to need a lot of these if you want everyone to benefit.

That's pretty close to what Gauss said they should be called:

One of the most influential physicists of all time, John Wheeler, was of the philosophical opinion that physical laws must only be describable in terms of a finite integers [1]. This is an ideal that at least some other physicists hope for. Recently, the "It from Qubit" program in physics [2], attempts to understand reality by reducing everything to computation on qubits, and has led to some interesting insights.

And incredibly sensitive to price per mile. You add 800lb of batteries to a step van that delivers bread and you lose so much cargo capacity that you're no longer profitable or it bumps you up to a different class of vehicle with different regulatory requirements that make you no longer profitable.

Believe me, tons of fleet operators are drooling over the idea of EV fleets that recharge overnight and the cost savings from drastically cutting the required regular maintenance. The economics just aren't there yet.

I agree with the general of idea of learning high-demand skills, only I always found it to be a bit of a chicken and egg problem:

I have no (interesting) problems to solve with VBA/Vim/Powershell/Keras/Never Split the Difference-style negotiation in my day-to-day work or not enough fantasy to conjure these up in my private studies.

The lack of experience then disqualifies me for roles where I would be confronted with these (interesting) problems. Never understood how to learn intricate stuff inside a void of direct applicability
Seriously? Have you ever heard about state secrets? Some information are locked for decades, even centuries, some never made public. Are you sure that there were never any accidents in USA related to manufacturing of VX or similar nerve agents?
I apologise if only posting negative links seemed unreasonable, but not out of any deeply held bias, the question asked was "Can we trust Brave?", so praise about the good things they do didn't specifically seem relevant. It is true that they try and improve privacy (which is a USP as far as Tor and anti-tracking stuff go). If asked can I trust chrome, I'd not expect downvote for only sharing links about the various embedded tracking - and glossing over the good stuff they do (which is admittedly not even close to Brave as far as trust is concerned).

If #2 is patently false, then apologies for spreading it further.

> as long as they're fixed quickly, it's understandable in my opinion

That's generally true, and I did mention the Tor thing had been fixed, but at the same time - it is very relevant to the trust question because for example people might well have visited sites that are illegal to do so within their countries under the premise of anonymous browsing via Brave, only to have their trust broken. I guess that's the risk you take if you do things like that, but it has an impact on trust of Brave.

A planet spanning civilization on Mars is less likely. However, there are still ways it could be found, depending on how long ago it was. I list three ways below, and suspect there are more.

First, there is the possibility of a civilization dying and evidence being erased by tectonic plate recycling. Mars is approximately 4.6 billion years old. We know it has volcanic activity, and most consider it to have inactive tectonics now. Some scientists believe it could have had significant activity in the past, based on the 3 distinct regions of Mars. Earth's tectonic plates vary in their rates of recycling: the oldest non-oceanic tectonic plate is 3.6 billion years old, and shows no sign of recycling. Oceanic plates recycle on the average of every 180 million years though.

Second, there is the possibility of technology that didn't leave a visible trace. This is not supported by any evidence and is mere conjecture. If the society tore down non-organic structures and converted to using all biodegradable/organic materials then evidence of the society would be scarce, if existent at all, especially if bodies were cremated as many do today. Chemical analysis could detect this I suspect, or more importantly prove it wrong.

Last, if for some reason civilization evolved underground and stayed underground, then there wouldn't be any visible evidence above ground. This is also pure conjecture. Micro-robots that explore Mars' caves might find something, as might ground penetrating radar.

They’re both very similar in good looks and success, but one is known as a faithful husband, and the other is a prolific womanizer.

We could perhaps simplify the hypothesis to say that modern dating, enabled by apps, has made it easier for men who have a high desire to sleep with many women to do so.
Anecdotally, I think you're on the money.

"Poly" folks are overrepresented on dating apps because they never shut their profiles down after meeting someone.

What's surprising to me is how much of it there is. I was on bumble/tinder and a couple of other sites when I was single, and it was so bad the first question I would ask was, "are you poly?"

I don't see any value prop in being poly for a man. Every time I've seen my friends attempt it, the woman is getting laid like crazy, and the man is struggling to find anyone. Imagine dating as a poly man-- what do you tell a woman you meet? "Well, there's no future for us because I have a wife and a girlfriend, but I'd still really like to get into your pants."

And then, there are issues of disease and pregnancy. You're trusting people you don't know to act responsibly as far as disease goes. And pregnancy is a nightmare-- I know a woman who has a husband and two boyfriends, and she turned up pregnant. It was a nightmare for everyone involved. Nobody knew who'd done the deed.

Sex is DANGEROUS.

I will get downvoted to hell for this, but, "poly" is just a modern version of Cuckoldry. If you're into that, that's your business. But all of the ephemera and justifications around it are just thinly veiled nonsense.
