100% can be split in so many small sums. Each percent is worth taking.
I think you describe quite well the fundamental reasons bitcoin was created.
Probably exaggerated and imponderable, as it really depends on how you would rank such a thing. But it is really nutritious in that it packs a great density of protein and micronutrients.
Industrial Policy, Innovation, and Decline with Ben Landau-Taylor
The thing I'm curious about is the impact of rent controls on traffic and commute times. This is a big deadweight loss of rent control, I think - people will often move because where they work changed, so if person A gets a job in person B's neighborhood and vice versa, the efficient outcome is for them to swap apartments rather than have opposite commutes. Rent control effectively locks people into their current apartment, which means some combination of longer commutes and taking worse jobs in lieu of an excessive commute that cannot be ameliorated by moving.
Interesting, are there studies in climate change denial demographics?
> Berlin has 4,227 inhabitants/km² [...] Paris is at 21,000.

These numbers aren't comparable: The municipality of Paris is just the small urban core of a much larger metropolitan region. Berlin has about 3.7 million inhabitants on 890 square kilometers, Paris 2.2 million on 105 square kilometers.

A fairer comparison is with the Petite Couronne consisting of Paris + the innermost ring of its neighbors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%8Ele-de-France#Petite_Cour...), which has 6.7 million people on 760 square kilometers. Still denser than Berlin! But the ratio is far less extreme than you made it look. For an alternative approach, take Berlin's densest districts: Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Mitte, and Neukölln add up to about 100 square kilometers (like Paris) and a bit over a million people. So about 2x less dense than Paris rather than 5x.
And what undeniable value do forest provides?

I live in NZ where which still somewhat recently used to be covered in forests. There’s tons of pastures and forests certainly look nice (and native bush is just something else), but other than that I don’t know why forests so important? Properties with shading are more expensive here, but that also causes more issues with your rain water tanks.

Want a deflationary monetary policy? Vote for it. Technology isn't going to solve the problem for you.

Also, deflationary monetary policy is insane and nobody should want it. Economies grow from continuous re-investment and commerce, not from people stashing away their money and watching its value increase for no reason.

edit: also, the fact that bitcoin is deflationary is entirely incidental, that was just Nakamoto's choice. It would have been just as easy to make bitcoin highly inflationary. The only thing that blockchain guarantees is that monetary policy can't ever change, which is also a thing that no sane person would ever want, there are lots of good reasons to modify the rate of inflation/deflation.

I'd like to know that too. I've never tried fake meat, and have no desire to. If I want to eat meat, I want real meat. I don't trust industrially processed synthetic foods, and I'd think we'd have learned by now that they are not worthy of our trust.

You can't downgrade a modern browser to ssl 3 (the most recent version supported by IE3) because modern browsers dont support sslv3 (prior to dropping support there were also some fixes for downgrade attacks).

Dont get me wrong, supporting sslv3 is still a terrible idea.

It would be interesting to know though what the most secure possible setup is for servers supporting ie3, both when a modern browser connects and when connecting to ie3, and what the security properties are. I would guess that its at least secure against passive monitoring (e.g. a mass survelience situation), which is a pretty low bar, but also the bar a lot of people care about.

The other thing we need to evaluate is if these platforms are just made of people banned from primary platforms and if that's the case, are these platforms really responsible for the surge of these types of people and perhaps what is a way to fix these societal issues as they continue to exist rather than disappear?

Gab and Parler have moderators too too, but the content they moderate is a lot more refined. I suspect proportionally, they're actually more to a per user ratio than FB or Twitter.
I feel the price is still quite high for daily consumption. For example, 3 lbs of impossible ground meat is ~50$, so per pound comes in about ~16$ (data from impossible website). Real ground beef, even when you buy high quality will be around 7-8$ per pound.

This brand was tested by German magazine called "Öko-Test" on their ingredients. Also not for the first time. It got a BAD review again because it contains too much mineral oil in it (could have various reasons, packaging of ingredients or oily manufacturing machines) and 20g fat per 100g "meat".

So it's unhealthy on mineral oil (MOSH) which can easily accumulate in your body and fat percentage.

I was referring to API calls between server components of what is essentially a monolithic application.

I've recently come across several such applications that were "split up" for no good reason. Just because it's the current fad to do the microservices thing. Someone liked that fad and decided that over-architecting everything is going to keep them employed.

To clarify: This was strictly worse in every possible way. No shortcuts were taken. No time was saved. Significant time and effort was invested into making the final product much worse.
Well what you say has some merit, but...

Goldrush FOMO is a very powerful force. Not saying this applies to you, but I think some people can’t stand the cognitive dissonance of being a hacker and not getting into bitcoin, missing out on life-changing money. To deal with it, they need to vilify bitcoin often on quasi-moral grounds.

While weight would definitely be a problem, I wonder if they could use less hardened, but more modern processors in a redundant setup, similar to how the Space Shuttle worked?

It also has bad impact on the type of buildings that get built. If you have to build some rent-controlled housing as part of your development project, and some jurisdictions will force developers to do that, it pushes you to build the rest of your building to be as upscale as possible to attract higher paying customers (better margins).

And it also removes the incentives of ever upgrading the rent-controlled buildings more than the minimal legal maintenance. Because any dollar is better spent on the upscale offerings.
>The author isn't claiming to have had an informed opinion of types. They're saying that they found learning about types to be difficult and stressful. That's a real problem that I think people who understand types forget.

Respectfully, its really hard for me to wrap my head around this mindset.

When I wrote my first line of code, almost 10 years ago, one of the very first concepts I learned was types. You know the basic OOP lessons where they teach that a Dog is a type of Mammal which is a type of Animal, etc. Typing was ingrained in me before I wrote any meaningful code. So from my perspective (and the perspective of anyone who learned similarly), typing is basic, foundational knowledge, and programming without an understanding of types is akin to running before you can walk

I think a lot of the developers learning nowadays are learning to code only on JS. And on JS you can do a lot without ever thinking about types. So they get stuck in the mentality that typing isn't necessary, and don't ever put in the effort to learn types.

Learning about types isn't that hard. But if you've been conditioned into thinking that typing is esoteric (perhaps due to modern coding courses completely glazing over types), then you're likely going to find it very challenging.

The point of this comment was to debunk how Bitcoin is a good store of value. Gold is great in that aspect because the unique color, density, and stability make it trivial to identify, which gives it has immense strategic importance. This is why nations hold much more of it in reserve than they would need from industrial applications.

This comment of mine explains why I think Bitcoin is not a good form of money. Transferring wealth may be the most important function, but it's far from the only one.

The article is certainly interesting. Unfortunately, the main source of inconsistencies with ledgers comes from human factors rather systemic ones.

I think it originated at CMU. At Elon we had an automatic grader that gave limited amount of tries tied to your grade.
Which can be good or bad.

If land prices are increasing faster than inflation it is bad unless they can get out before the bubble pops. Obviously if they bought too high that is a bad investment. Lets ignore this and assume a sane market where values mostly are similar to inflation.

While property increases with inflation are not nearly as good an investment as investments that do better than inflation, it isn't as bad as it sounds. The whole point of buying property in this case is a place to live. So in 30 years you no longer have a rent payment at all, and in between your rent never goes up. This payment situation needs to be factored in to the calculation since you will be living someplace no matter what. (unless you would normally live in a cardboard box) As a result people who invest in property to live in need to invest a much smaller portion of their total portfolio into something else. And since this is a place to live it doesn't matter how well it performs overall since you are not selling (at least not until you go to a nursing home which you can/should insure for).

Let me point out that rent doesn't increase when you own property. So if you invest just the difference between market rent and your rent over the years you will have more money to invest. Now that money doesn't have as long to grow (since it isn't front loaded as much), but owning is still a good part of a long term portfolio.

Note that the above makes some assumptions that may not be true, or that could be true but you don't want to for lifestyle reasons. That is perfectly fine - there is no one size fits all. Every situation is different, you need to make your own decisions as best you can. The first assumption above is you live there for the rest of your life (some amount of trading is allowed, but be careful as each trade is costly), the second is you pay off the dwelling.
As a fellow American, I also just eat a few hamburgers per year. I actually prefer non meat burgers to regular, though I love high quality meat (though I don't it it very often). I like to primary source stuff and can't find a hard, verified number in my limited Googling, but as far as I can tell our consumption is incredibly low compared to the per capita average (over a hundred per year, into the multi hundreds per year depending on region). The key is not to get people who are eating 2 per year down to 0, but to get people eating hundreds per year down to, I dunno, 10? Either way we can picture a sustainable economy in which high quality plant based meals are cheap, and then everyone gets their high quality meat meals less frequently and for an amount of money that is commensurate with their ecological impact.

I saw the Svelte presentation a few years ago when it was released and my jaw hit the floor hard. That was some cool radical thinking. I haven't used it beyond playing with a few examples, so I can't really tell for sure if it holds up. Everything looks great on the demos.

Unfortunately it hasn't caught on, though it maybe be too early to call.
Yeah, I read the article. My question was what really prevents the existence of some cryptographic operation that would allow us to "port" the laws of physics to the digital space, so that when information moves we could enforce that the sender no longer has it and the receiver does.
Here’s the thing though. If the test suite declares the API, I could always write my own test suite that is more precise, which does cover the things I use “off label”. I may get caught a couple times, but eventually I’ll get it sorted.

Being able to do that depends on whether I can assign such things after the fact, or if the author has to do it.
HN masses cheering on the success of Soylent Red or Soylent Yellow?? Just eat less meat if you think meat production is bad/bad for the planet, don't cheer on meat substitutes, which are just processed foods made from entirely processed ingredients.

Eating meat for every meal is not good for you, but you can bet that Beyond and Impossible will advertise themselves as something that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The thing I hate is headlines like this WaPo headline: "If curtailing racist imagery in Dr. Seuss is ‘cancel culture,’ what, exactly, is your culture?"

Let's get over the clickbaity title and look at their actual argument. They think that it is worth cancelling these things because of "racist imagery." But who are they to decide what is and isn't racist? The goalposts literally shift on this every day. I grew up saying "I don't see color", and now this isn't even OK to say anymore.

Are we really going to let a bunch of totalitarian journalists anoint themselves as the ministry of truth? Does anyone seriously want to live in a world where journalists have the power to decide the definition of racism and immediately convict those who don't meet the new criteria?

I don't really see a way out of this for now, because it appears that Twitter and journalists have the CEOs of America by the balls. I think we are pretty much going to see a major economic civil war in this country, with mass quittings and firings, before people actually come to their senses.

Livestock is a real problem. Using US numbers, which has one of the most efficient livestock management in the world make those numbers not too bad at ~4% (that's still a lot, let's be clear), but when you look worldwide the share of GHG attributed to livestock is 14.5%, that's definitely bad [1].

Even if Beyond Meat will have a bigger impact in the US to begin with, this will have a worldwide impact.

> a Ryzen Zen 3 chip has a feature size of 7nm

The node sizes used in marketing today haven't actually had any relation to feature size for at least 10 years. You can read some of the actual feature details for 7nm on wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_nm_process#7_nm_process_node...

If "feature size" is the width of a fin, a 7nm feature will typically be ~15nm across and spaced ~15nm apart (ie the center of one transistor is 30nm away from the center of the transistor next to it).

It's worth noting that the actual thickness of a transistor isn't strictly the most important factor. Which is why that wiki page shows fin pitch (the width of the transistor plus the space between transistors), because that's the metric that you get transistor density from.
I'm always kinda confused when people argue that 3.3% of literally all emissions produced by every activity we as humans engage in seem like it's a small thing. There's not gonna be some magic bullet that will reduce our national emissions by 45% or anything. It's all the result of a bunch of small things added together. And we're at the point where plant based meats and dairy substitutes are good enough in a lot of different use-cases.

If we cut our use of animal products to just the dishes that really demand it then we're already way better off. Use milk for your baking, not your cereal. Don't feel bad about having a steak but maybe try the veggie chicken nuggets when you get fast food.

Do you not think this was the entire point of the policy? Rent control doesn't exist to lower rent for everyone, it exists to reward the long term residents who voted for it at the expense of newcomers. Berliners essentially voted themselves a handout.
