Bitcoin has finality and on top of bitcoin you can build the arsenal of tools.

Lower value transfers got priced out because fees that previously were low in dollar terms have become high in dollar terms because Bitcoin was previously $1 and now it’s $50,000.

Payments in payment channel are settled as fast as your internet latency because they don’t need to be settled on chain, that’s what payment channels do.

Payments inside payment channels are not constrained by anything but you system IO, and there are lots of payment channels acting independently, so for all intents and purposes transaction capacity in bitcoin payment channels is infinite.

Payment channel systems are already built and they don’t require centralization.

You obviously know next to nothing yet you keep arguing trying to pretend to be smart and knowledgeable.

The different lessons seem to use different programming languages for their examples. I see R, Julia, and Python.

Which is cool. But it's not very well explained. One chapter just introduces R code, without even saying that's the language.

So some explanation about which language is being used when, and if there is a reason for choosing one over the other, would be useful.
That does not sound like you are up-to-date with what the official redux tutorials currently recommend for writing modern redux. https://redux.js.org/tutorials/fundamentals/part-8-modern-re...

Also, two-way-data-bindings like just `state.totals` work when you're just re-rendering your whole app on every frame, but as soon as you get away from that, there will always be either some "observing" or "signalling" involved to trigger rerendering of the correct parts of your application. Redux goes the "signalling" way, MobX goes the "observing" way, both have their benefits and drawbacks.
This is the result of the central banks embracing Modern Monetary Theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Monetary_Theory as the policy to leave no hedge fund behind and lay the groundwork for UBI.

> just forms with some validation and lists of things - a spreadsheet can do all that with greater flexibility as a bonus.

Speadsheets are great at a lot of things, but data validation doesn't tend to be one of them. In fact, I'd argue that's one of the main reasons to move off of spreadsheets: to make your data more structured.

It may well be possible to create a spreadsheet-like UI that is good at these things though. And I can certainly see that being successful. It'd be difficult to tradeoff flexible vs constrained though.
I used the old Google Pay for both tap-to-pay and for organizing my various membership cards. Gas, grocery, coupons, things like that. Since sticking various memberships cards in it, some of the old physical cards have been lost and I hope the rest are still in my filing cabinet.

Because with "new" Google Pay, all of those membership cards are gone. They didn't just not migrate the data over; this isn't a feature present in the new one. I don't see any reason to continue using it. Apple Pay is working better for me for tap-to-pay, and I'm instead trying to replicate some of the old membership card organization with Apple Wallet, albeit without much success yet.

(Can't believe we have to use "old"/"new" delimiters here either, while Google gets to pretend it's the same thing.)
"It can hurt others. At the beginning of the pandemic there was a lot of panic buying."

On the other hand, having a stock on hand already can be helpful. It means you won't need to join the panic buying, because you're already stocked, and you stocked at a time when the system could easily handle it.

It is a good thing for everyone to have some supplies on hand. It makes all of society more resilient against all sorts of disasters. It means that if your area finds itself in need of emergency services, those emergency services may not have to go to you, leaving them for someone else who may be in more trouble (e.g., someone who was at the epicenter of whatever and legitimately had their supplies totally destroyed).

It is the socially responsible thing to do to have some vital supplies on hand and be able to survive independently for a few days on as few services as possible in your area.

One thing that irks me about The New Yorker is their liberal use of diacritics. They've added umlauts to words with consecutive vowels like "cooperate" (coöperate) and "reelect" (reëelect), when it hasn't been a part of conventional American English (or any regional variant?) for quite some time.

It comes across as pretentious, which may be what they're going for and what their target audience wants to feel when they read The New Yorker.

I'd add to that, from a recollection when my old company signed up for Gsuite many moons ago, you give them the right to use your emails, documents, etc. to help them train their models. Which is all about improving their actual product.

Maps knows where you are and where you (regularly) travel. I get email updates from Google on this. Drive enables you to work on documents and files, and provides this implicit access to google to provide them training data (unless they changed that clause of the user agreement).

While Gsuite is an "enterprise" product, that you pay for (and I did, for years), getting "support" out of google was damn near impossible. This seems to be a common theme with them. They stand something up, put up FAQ pages which don't cover what you run into, don't have a human you can contact, or a site you can email, or a ticket system you can report a problem into ... and leave you to figure out workarounds on your own.

And, should your data masters decide that you are a bad company in any way, shape, or form, you can be completely removed from (all) their platform(s), with absolutely no recourse.

Put another way, it is a huuuuuge risk to use them for anything in the critical business services path. FWIW, Microsoft seems to know how to sell/support services. Doesn't matter if their stuff is inferior in many regards, you can reach them if you have a problem. Though, quite likely, they can pull the plug on you quickly as well. But they are far more business friendly than google.
While growing up in Sweden in the eighties, my grandfather showed me the equipment he used to use doing just that, steal power, when he was a young farmer (in the twenties-thirties). Though the farm had power quite early it was easier to drive the 3-phase motor, used when threshing, directly from the poles. An obvious benefit was of course bypassing the meter.

Some years ago, while visiting my uncle who still lives on the same farm, I sought and found both the poles and the old threshing motor. The motor was enormous and mounted on a sled though rated for only 9-10 kW. It is not only semiconductors that keep getting smaller!

The failure mode was known (hence why it was considered out-of-spec) but it didn’t translate to an accurate risk assessment.

I've seen a couple things on using Racket for code synthesis. My google search revealed Rosette, which wasn't what I was thinking of. The other work may have been in Scheme, using minikanren, but my Google Fu seems weak this morning.

I am in the middle of INSAG-7, the revised Chernobyl accident report from the 90s. And the positive reactivity effect of the control rods was, as shown in the HBO series, known since 83. The RBMK chief engineer suggested changes, technical and in procedure, immediately after that. These have not been implemented, because it was considered to be an extreme edge case. Might have been nice to portray it that way.

After all, I love the HBO series, watched it three times by now. Still one of the best mini series ever produced. As shown by the fact that you have to dig that deep to find deviations from reality. In most other cases, you don't even have to scratch the surface.
> That's playing word games.

No, it isn't. There's a reason that Schroedinger's cat and Wigner's friend and "the measurement problem" are a thing. (And see my last comment below.)

> Stern-Gerlach experiment.

The basic SG experiment setup has two components: the magnets, and a pair of detectors. When you compose multiple SG experiments you compose only one of these, the magnets. The detectors are all moved to the END, AFTER the electrons have transitioned all the magnetic fields. So you are not actually measuring the positions of the electrons at the intermediate stages, only at the end, and only once.

So no, the SG experiment is NOT an example of making two successive measurements on the same particle. Go back a re-read what I originally wrote:

> The best you can do is run a particle through a series of filters and look at where it ended up. You can then retrodict that the particle went one way or went another way, but you cannot actually measure its trajectory. In fact, you cannot even know that there even is a particle in your apparatus until the end when you actually measure it.

In the SG experiment, the magnets are the filters. You will find that ALL quantum experiments have the same constraint.

(BTW, the actual term used by physicist is "preparation". You can use multiple SG magnets in series to PREPARE your quantum system, but you can only actually MEASURE it once. Once you measure it, the wave function collapses, and you no longer have the same system.)

> Have you considered the double slit experiment, where the whole point is the difference in length of trajectory?

Yes, of course. You appear to have completely missed the point. The path-length difference in the experiment I pointed you to is orders of magnitude larger than the standard two-slit experiment. That matters.

> if you bloop spin twice

What does it mean to bloop something? You will find that you will have no more success in defining "bloop" than physicists have had in defining "measurement". Here's a hint: are bloops/measurements reversible?

Sometime in the 80s when the major networks decided the newsroom, which had been a cost sink but was considered prestigious, should at least be able to pay for itself. The networks were losing profits to cable channels. As they cut costs and demanded revenue, the quality of broadcast news went to hell. Oh, and President Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine. https://publicseminar.org/essays/ronald-reagans-worst-decisi...

Newspapers somewhat followed suit, but they had always been ad-supported, so it wasn't until Craigslist and the like came along and took their classified income that they really started to feel the pinch.

Fast-forward to the early 21st century and the rise of click-bait news sites; newspapers couldn't compete. Papers also started getting snapped up by private equity firms, doing what private equity firms do.

Editing was the first casualty, but then pay for writers went on a race to the bottom. Good writers mostly abandoned the news and became freelancers, writing copy for whatever outlet would pay them.

> So I threw in the entire text into Hemingway, an app that identifies poor or confusing writing.

I found this interesting, because it seemed unbelievable to me that an app could be able to tell good writing from bad writing in a reliable or useful way.

So I took excerpts from Shirley Jackson's The Lottery and pasted them in. (For anyone unfamiliar with it, The Lottery is considered a masterpiece of a short story, and is widely taught in American high schools.) The excerpts I pasted were almost universally painted red: bad writing, "very hard to read."

Then I took excerpts of Isaac Asimov's The Last Question, another celebrated English-language short story in a very different writing style. Red and yellow all over.

Knowing full well what it would think of James Joyce, I skipped over him to try Roald Dahl's The Great Automatic Grammatizator -- red and yellow all over.

Lastly, for the sake of variety, I decided to try something simple and put in large swaths of one of the original Winnie the Pooh books. Finally, something it was mostly okay with! But only the dialogue. Anytime the author dared to write any description, red all over.

Seriously, don't use this tool.

Edited perspective from comment replies to mine: the app is largely okay with Hemingway, which makes sense as its main intent is to make your writing like Hemingway's. Also, if it is largely intended to be for business writing, then it makes sense that it would react poorly to literary writing. Both good points!
Fair enough, thanks for the correction. I guess the tone of the post doesn't convey that they know what they are doing to some people, although it should be obvious that they didn't just sleepwalk into having one of the highest "power to weight" ratio web apps on the Internet.
Compared to JSON you mean? Yeah that's the only difference behavior-wise.

It'd be stupid to run a full-blown linter on user-provided JSON settings for this for example, so there are some use cases where something like this is useful.

No, I think this is the same way in much of the US. Millionaires are just skilled labor around age 35-40 (depending on a lot ofc). And you're going to need about 4x that to retire, depending on the kind of lifestyle you want.

It's expensive as hell to do the whole "2.5 kids, a house, and 2.5 college tuitions" thing while still having a life of your own.

I also realize this comes from a place of privilege (many people can't even really expect to ever retire, much less retire comfortably or lavishly).

The middle class has really eroded away to basically not having any lower or middle segment. You're either working poor (whether you self-identify that way or not) or you're upper-middle-class (where you might start to externally seem "rich" but if you lose your job you still have to find another one pretty fast.)
