are you saying 1-star reviews? Because they are sometimes bonkers reviews from some non-critical-thinking folks.

I would say 3-star reviews are more likely to provide useful information.
Previously, cookies could be used to track users across websites (e.g. multiple websites using the Shopify platform, by making a request to shopify.com), but also to provide useful functionality (e.g. remembering their contact details). Now, this is not possible anymore, due to first-party isolation being implemented in Safari and now Firefox.

Personally, I think this is not such a big deal, as the browser can remember your contact details for you anyway, and you can fill them out on any website. So I think it's a win for privacy and for users, but it's true that there are some downsides as well.
My guess is a slimmed-down API with most or all support for older browsers removed, perhaps something similar to Zepto.

There is still something to be said for the usability of jQuery's API for direct DOM manipulation, as opposed to the more verbose API offered by the DOM itself.
Bitcoin was a brilliant technical solution to a problem that was already solved centuries ago by legal institutions and contracts. The introduction of bitcoin has had basically zero real economic impact on the macro economy, which to me is the surest indicator that it's a dead end. When the internet and PCs became mainstream, the economy exploded over the next decade. When crypto was invented, the only wealth being created so far has been from people trading it back and forth with fiat, funding companies that turn that funding into crypto, etc. I'm happy to be proven wrong if someone has compelling evidence, but it's been years and I haven't been convinced.
> Are we expecting people not to change their position and make them feel guilty if they did?

Nobody is trying to make you feel guilty.

However, having earlier attempted to shut down the kind of discussion you now say you want, it’s not surprising people aren’t available to have that discussion with you now.

> No wonder communities are more polarized than ever.

I don’t see this as encouraging people to discuss solving the Bitcoin energy problem.

> We should be discussing about how to efficiently harness that big fiery ball in space instead of shutting down technological advancements.

Here it seems like you are making another attempt to close discussion of Bitcoin’s energy problem by saying we should be discussing solar energy instead.

This is probably part of why you got accused of whataboutism.
This is one of the bonuses of a brick and mortar store if you can get a commissioned associate to tell you.

Ex: I’m not going to say phonefriend makes a bad phone but they have the highest return rate and people will buy a much more expensive Panasonic when they leave for a second time.
That might be true in isolation but repeat it enough times and it's actually much cheaper to have several highly paid programmers work on it for several years, compared to so much time and energy lost otherwise...
Is there a way this can be made double-blind, where the Journal doesn't know the reviewer and the reviewer doesn't know the Journal? Can something akin to Mechanical Turk be utilized? Just trying to think of ways to have paid reviews without incurring all the negatives so typically associated with that arrangement.
> It is exactly people like Bernie and AOC who are likely to bring manufacturing back to the USA, instead of letting corporations continue to outsource every last job they can to save a dollar on labor.

Can people claiming success with this product provide just a little more context on how it helped your company? I always think there might be astroturfing with these kinds of submissions.
The bread example is apt if considered in the context of the apartment issue. What was driving up the price of housing was that they were not creating new housing at a pace to keep up with demand.

So using the focus you had on bread, so you lower the price of bread so more people can afford it. However you don't increase the bakers ability to create bread and they still only have the same amount of bread as before. Well for the most part you have only swapped who has the bread and the number without is basically the same as before. You have done nothing but reduce the profit of the bread maker, at most.

The right answer is to increase availability to where those who have the desire to have bread are satisfied and bread remains around that needs someone to buy it.

Almost all housing shortages are government created if not 100%. Either through direct changes to laws and regulation or through providing the means for other groups to contest the construction of new properties in the courts because enough loop holes exist to stop any new housing.
That's a big reason why I'm excited about repl.it. You can self-host a github repo in about 2 clicks (not including account setup). I could see it increasing the reach of self-hosted apps a lot.

I don't even get that courtesy. Amazon deletes legitimate negative reviews all the time without the seller having to make amends.
A good black box relies on the assumption that the inputs / outputs are well documented and true to their spec.

This is a very unsafe assumption, at least until we invent a programming language that disallows bugs of any class.
> It's no mistake that I've come to rely on brand name again.

I've been saying for awhile, this could be the salvation for brick-and-mortar stores. As long as Amazon continues to play fast and loose with counterfeits, the one thing that will get me to drive down to the store and buy something in-person is the store's guarantee that the product came from the vendor whose name is on the box, and that I can return it if I get a lemon.

Funny how there was no "environment" argument in the whole message but someone came alone an made sure to devaluate it anyway.

The argument was that PoW can not not scale. Its an obvious objectively verifiable fact and its completely irrelevant what kind of environmental side effects bitoin has or will have in the future.
For all we know it could run on fusion reactors and biodegradable ASICS only and it still would not scale.
Yes but if you’re not using the latest JS framework how do you get girls.
You just described the stock market. The only difference is that before, there were only a handful of people with the power and tools to manipulate it (ie. Wall Street), whereas now, due to the power of the Internet and social networks, masses of people are able to coordinate to achieve similar effects.

In a way, what has been happening lately, is the democratization of the power to game the system. Which doesn’t mean that now anyone can do it, but rather that it is not limited only to the rich and powerful anymore (until they figure out a way to gate-keep it again).
Yeah, this is a good point. I don't know that I've ever noticed it in the wild, but it is possible.
It's not the web, it's computing in general that has not evolved in the right direction. A grid is not a grid is not a grid. An image is not an image is not an image. Etc.
So rather than fixing the web, fix computing. It will fix the web too. If not, the web is even more in trouble.
My aha moment with TypeScript was when I realized that, in spirit, it's the same thing as ActionScript - a superset of ECMAScript with a stricter type discipline.

I had no issues with that back when I was a teenager trying to put together flash games, so apparently the only thing preventing me from writing exclusively in TypeScript was a lack of a decent toolchain.

It's a claim made by Volvo themselves(1):

> All of our cars are available with plug-in hybrid technology. Introduction of mild hybrid powertrains – all newly launched Volvos will be electrified, either hybrids or fully electric.

And yes the S60 was offered as a plugin hybrid, which can be confirmed with a simple Google Search. "Pure" gas models also used their "Mild Hybrid" setup - whether that should count is up for debate, but maybe you should take a moment and fact check your assumptions?

This. I look for genuine problems. Works with hotels too - are the negative reviews unreasonable ("Dude, I think you're the problem, not the hotel...") or things that I can see someone like me being upset about occurring ("They say construction is done on the new wing, it's not done and they start at 8 AM...")
There's an aggregation part that comes after the CTE, at which point the "friend_count" or "last_login" fields are not available anymore. "active_users" isn't a table, it's the result of the CTE in the query that returns distinct users that have a last_login in the last 30 days.

Also, keep in mind that this is a pretty simple example, a more realistic one would probably have a half dozen to a dozen CTEs, some nested, at which point correctly mutating the SQL statement is not trivial.
> He claimed the battery swap was going to be at Super Charger locations. Not that they tested it at an old car wash.

Well, Harris Ranch is a Super Charger location, so... I guess that wasn't a lie? And, again, real customers did use it on real road trips (you can read user experiences on TMC).

Turns out people would rather take a discount for charging instead of swapping, so the swapping model wasn't financially viable. Sometimes plans change. Is almost every startup founder a liar because they pivoted after testing market fit?

> Most automakers are quite careful about the dates they say, and the certainty the communicate around it.

Oh, come. on. I'm going to pick on VWAG for a minute:

* The e-Tron was months late due to software issues.

* The Taycan has been out for almost a year and a half, yet features promised to be available at launch are still unavailable. OTA does not exist. Owners report that paid software features randomly disappear then come back a few days later. 12V battery problems bricking the car are rife.

* Porsche repeatedly and loudly claimed the Taycan was a track-capable car, and wouldn't overheat, unlike those silly children over at Tesla. Owner reports on taycanforum.com indicate otherwise.

* VW said the ID.3 would be available in 2020Q2, but didn't start shipping until 2020Q4.

* They sold and registered ID.3s to dealerships to inflate their sales numbers for December, despite claiming many months ago that they were sold out for a year. They've sold almost none in January. That's called channel stuffing, and regulators don't like it.

> And yes, no other car company CEO could consistently overpromise and underdeliver like he does and keep their job.

Really? I don't see anyone calling for Herbert Diess's head. Yet, every new EV from VWAG has been late. By your standards it sounds like he repeatedly lied about timelines. And it sure looks like VWAG lied to investors and regulators about the number of cars sold to actual customers in 2020.

> A couple of prototype Semis on the road in secret in 2021 is a far cry from commercial delivery in 2019.

You originally claimed that "Semis on the road by 2019" was an example of a Musk lie. Here is an article, with pictures, from March 2018 showing a Tesla Semi charging at a public supercharger. https://electrek.co/2018/03/08/tesla-semi-trucks-spotted-sup...

tl;dr- The article's a bit confused, so to clarify: Bitcoin's entropy starts maximized, and then miners reduce it. According to the second-law-of-thermodynamics, the net-entropy of the universe tends to increase, so Bitcoin's entropy-reduction is just increasing entropy elsewhere (hence its huge electric consumption). Bitcoin's doing this because its security is based on having a high-entropy barrier against attackers (like a good password), except instead of a legitimate party being whoever has the password (and thus can beat attackers), it's based on whoever can attack the entropy the best (through 51%+ control of mining).

---

Some of the entropy stuff seems a bit confused.

As time goes on, Bitcoin's blockchain's entropy is decreasing, not increasing. The [genesis-block](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block) is like a [nucleation-seed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_crystal), and the blockchain's growing from that genesis-block like ice crystallizing from a nucleation-seed as the surrounding water freezes.

The second-law-of-thermodynamics asserts that entropy tends to increase in the overall system, in a cumulative sense, but not necessarily throughout the entire system. Bitcoin's blockchain's removed entropy tends to imply an increase of entropy in the surrounding environment (leading to the environmental concerns with its energy-consumption).

If Bitcoin's mining-difficulty were reduced and the miner-pool shrunk a lot, then Bitcoin's blockchain would have less entropy removed, but the environment would have less entropy added to it as Bitcoin's power-consumption would be less.

This is by-design. For example, if you want a secure password, then you want it to have [high entropy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength#Entropy_as_a...), because then it's harder for an attacker to guess your password. Bitcoin's the same way, except that it doesn't start knowing the password -- instead, Bitcoin asserts that whoever controls the most entropy-removing-power (mining power) is the correct authority. So that's why [Bitcoin sets a high-enough difficulty](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty): it needs a high-enough difficulty to prevent someone from easily [faking a longer blockchain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-spending#51%_attack).

It is indeed a common misconceptions, but here is the official Ada 83 Language Reference Manual on the subject: http://archive.adaic.com/standards/83lrm/html/lrm-02-09.html...

> Reserved words differing only in the use of corresponding upper and lower case letters are considered as the same (see 2.3).

Interestingly, the manual itself doesn't even use upper case:

> For readability of this manual, the reserved words appear in lower case boldface.

So even the Ada standard recognizes the upper case is less readable and undesired.

Case insensitivity also applies to identifiers (variable names, type names etc.) (sec 2.3) and that is a definitely an archaic feature, but the GNAT compiler has the helpful -gnatya style check which enforces the Pascal_Case style: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.6.4/gnat_ugn_unw/Style-...

Another common misconception is that function/procedure names (designators) must appear after the `end`. That is optional:

> If a designator appears at the end of a subprogram body, it must repeat the designator of the subprogram specification. http://archive.adaic.com/standards/83lrm/html/lrm-06-03.html...
The core storage engine borrows heavily from it - I'll attempt to summarize and apologies for any errors, it's been a while since I worked with VictoriaMetrics or ClickHouse.

Basically data is stored in sorted "runs". Appending is cheap because you just create a new run. You have a background "merge" operation that coalesces runs into larger runs periodically, amortizing write costs. Reads are very efficient as long as you're doing range queries (very likely on a time-series database) as you need only linearly scan the portion of each run that contains your time range.
Well it seems more that the supply is sufficiently high to prevent a shortage from the demand (I guess we can thank modern farming techniques).
Don't want to go OT but I'm super curious what your experience developing a network application for non-root Android devices has been?

Counterexample: when I recently read about its energy consumption (per byte stored), I sold my bitcoins in disgust, at roughly today's prices. I've held almost continuously since 2011, although I trimmed my position a few times.

If I come across something that works without PoW, is safe against quantum computers and somehow eliminates the threat of forks (seems impossible), I'll invest in that.
That would explain why they continue to be used after initial adoption. It doesn't explain why they were initially chosen if there were better options using something that already existed.

History and inertia also are nearly synonymous with "easier to use" in this context.
Nano is a scam. Nano fanboys don’t even get the concept of latency on the internet, forget anything more complex like recovery from network partitions.

I find this is too simple, because it assumes the experiment is correct. Experiments can have errors and being able to doubt experiments, especially when you have disagreements between experiments, is a very important step in science.

This isn't to say that one should hold to a belief without any evidence to back it, only that we consider the possibilities that experiments themselves are flawed and take that into account, such as by designing seemingly unrelated experiments to test a single guess.

To give another Feynman quote.

>We have learned a lot from experience about how to handle some of the ways we fool ourselves. One example: Millikan measured the charge on an electron by an experiment with falling oil drops, and got an answer which we now know not to be quite right. It's a little bit off because he had the incorrect value for the viscosity of air. It's interesting to look at the history of measurements of the charge of an electron, after Millikan. If you plot them as a function of time, you find that one is a little bit bigger than Millikan's, and the next one's a little bit bigger than that, and the next one's a little bit bigger than that, until finally they settle down to a number which is higher.

>Why didn't they discover the new number was higher right away? It's a thing that scientists are ashamed of—this history—because it's apparent that people did things like this: When they got a number that was too high above Millikan's, they thought something must be wrong—and they would look for and find a reason why something might be wrong. When they got a number close to Millikan's value they didn't look so hard. And so they eliminated the numbers that were too far off, and did other things like that ...

>> In science and therefore reality as we know it, nothing can ever be proven true.

In engineering we take the science and use it to predict how a design will work. When things work as intended it is a confirmation that the science is useful, if not "correct".

To me that is what science does. It allows us to make useful predictions that can inform decisions.
