This is not unusual for large government contracts. They can often go through multiple rounds of appeals and recompetes leading eventually to the effort being abandoned. I was once involved in a contract award that was appealed and recompeted 3 times. Each time the incumbent was issued a contract extension to keep the lights on. Eventually the whole process had taken longer than the period of performance the contract was to cover. By then the agency's needs had changed and the whole thing was scrapped.
Yes. The only way to avoid the “pop” is to not need new money. (Edit: if you can hold out a year on current cash you can do a secondary offering after the DL.)

Instacart already gave it away to whoever participated in this $265 million private fundraising round.
No, he said that blocks are verified to have enough proof of work put into them. You were confused.
On the contrary, I would contend that there is real knowledge being taught in schools.

But I do concede that it is being taught in suboptimal ways. School is draining and somehow unfun and that makes it difficult to learn.
Of course, if the charity itself encourages you to choose, then it's perfectly okay.

I actually just started using an RSS reader a few months ago for the first time in years. RSS is still everywhere. I have only found one or two sites I wanted to follow that didn't support it, and those were custom built blogs where the owners happily added RSS support when I requested it.
No, I was thinking more like peertube.

This is a growing problem in other fields, especially when universities destroyed the paper versions once they were available online...
Mosquitos, as we all know, have a highly distinctive auditory signature.

A phased microphone array is the only sensible approach to localized mosquito detection. It would probably work reasonably well.

The problem is that the entire field is patent encumbered, because Myhrvold's company Intellectual Ventures has done some research on it, and no on in their right mind would go up against those guys.
I think an interface providing proper abstraction hasn’t been properly built yet. Imagine every API call to Amazon was a block in a flow based system- some of those endpoints have hundreds of options and multiple accepted input formats, so designing an abstraction layer that doesn’t add more complexity than it takes away is a difficult problem to solve.
I don't even need to read the article to know this is going to be a long winded piece of popular bullshit.

Just look at the title, manages to demean and belittle an entire industry that is entirely required for a functioning economy and society.

Y'all wonder why blue collar America thinks we're stuck up entitled pricks? Maybe it's because we are.
On a second look, I agree.
Never once had to do any of those in a professional setting. Mostly just creating reading, updating, and deleted database records with a very simple UI (if any at all).

I have used recursion, particularly due to my love for Erlang, just not in any software someone paid me to work on.
This sort of dumb sarcasm is soooo annoying for a billion reasons:

- Every major website where RSS would be useful (except Facebook. Twitter needs RSS like we need the plague), _has it!_ RSS support is ubiquitous

- There are carbon-copy clones of google reader. I use one every day (well, twice a week cuz I don't depend on reading RSS). You can just subscribe

- For really tricky stuff, you can wire together some stuff with, like, Zapier. It's annoying but way easier than it would be 10 years ago (cuz even then loads of random stuff didn't have feeds)

This is the most annoying kind of nostalgia. Not because it's wishing for an old world that never existed, but because it's implying that the current world doesn't _still have all of this stuff_. At least whining about XMPP has some merit.
People watch videos largely for entertainment, even when the subject matter is a review of computer hardware or advice concerning technology. For pure informational value, a written format with occasional short illustrative video clips is usually more useful.

I think every successful youtuber has a cultivated stage persona because that's more entertaining than just watching an everyday person talk about a mechanical keyboard for 15 minutes.
My prior response was at the "why would someone pay for a NFT when you can download an identical version for free" question of the parent comment.
I'm a fan of the UI too. It's very simple and reduces cognitive overload. You know exactly where everything is and don't have to put much effort into understanding and remembering where the important parts are. I think that's a big part of its appeal.
Have there been any of these direct listings with share sales yet?
You fixed the rules of the game. It follows that there is a distribution of outcomes of the game (it was guaranteed to end). This distribution is not about time-averaging or ensemble-averaging. There is no time, there is no ensemble.

Don’t you agree that there is a probability distribution that describes the outcomes of the game you proposed?

If you don’t, that’s where you’re mistaken.

Expected utility theory uses that probability distribution of outcomes. In this case it was directly derived from your description of the game. The probability distribution could also represent the probability assigned to the different potential outcomes by the agent, and another agent could have a different probability distribution.

In any case, there is no notion of ensemble average over N realizations or time average over N realizations or anything like that in EUT.

There is a set of possible outcomes, which have a value called utility attached (representing preferences).

For each possible decision, there is a probability distribution over the outcomes. An expected value can be calculated.

The optimal decision is the one with highest expectation of the utility.

Saying that utility theory has an issue because of typical trajectories and time averages and ensemble averages doesn’t make much sense. All those things are not part of EUT. You could just as well say that it has a problem with the spark plugs.

If you say that you may solve some problems differently, that’s ok.

That doesn’t make EUT wrong or disallows the use of probability distributions to calculate expected values.

And as far as I know, all the decision problems solved by EE have a straightforward correspondence to a EUT solution with some utility function (and with a perfectly standard probability distribution that can be used to calculate expected utilities).

>Physical goods need verification but digital goods can be replicated perfectly. A "bootleg" is just as good as the original so no verification is needed.

The same can be applied to physical goods as well. Why do people pay millions for the original painting, even though they could probably get a replica that's identical to the naked eye for much less? Clearly they're interested in more than it being "as good as the original".
This is awesome. Really impressed at the level of play given the size of the program.

Somewhat amusingly, in the game I played, it went all in pushing the flank pawns, also a tendency favored by top Chess engines :)
I feel like in these conversations about crypto that people use the following terms somewhat interchangeably:

- Coin

- Token

- NFT

- Transaction

- Smart contract

Is there some place with a concise definition of each of these terms?

I'm not entirely sure how that's possible. If you knew stock was being sold in significant quantities (~10-20% of the company) in extremely short periods of time its almost a guarantee the price will drop on listing day. Previous direct listings have all been about transfer of ownership.

I use recursion fairly often, and I almost never come back and reimplement it as iterative.

Mostly because I know my data structures are bounded, and the thing I'm writing isn't terribly performance sensitive.

The iterative solution is in the language we use a lot more verbose. I'd have to create a separate type to hold any parameters if there's more than one and I'd have to make my own stack of that type. So for most things I just go for plain old recursion.

> This is based on the narrative that IPOs are systematically underpriced

IPO's that are systematically underpriced are the ones that aren't available to the general public (i.e., an allocation offering for private, accredited investors).

It is likely that any IPO allocation available to the public is not underpriced, but at most priced correctly, and usually more likely to be over-priced!

I no longer live with cats, haven't for over 40 years but at no time across my cat-living life, did I experience a cat which showed any variance in behaviour toward me or anyone else except the criterion: Do you feed me, and open the door when I yowl?

I think cats are fundamentally a-social transactional animals. They establish dominance, but have no care otherwise. Arguably during kit-raising, this changes, but I don't detect any significance that persists.

"I don't care who opens the door and feeds me, they can be a robot for all I care" pretty much sums it up for me. They don't engage in any level at what a third party does, to the primary care-giver.

Cats: zero fucks given.

Lions on the other hand, the "pride" appears to be a social construct. Cats, I see dominance behaviour but I don't see any co-dependency emerge. I don't see food being brought to be shared with the dominant leadership "first"
Playing sport is not some radical edge case, nor is there anything to think about. Women can compete in women's sport.

"Transgender women should not be in women's sports" is transphobic no matter what logic follows it. It is society not treating women as women. Adding a "because they are men" or not on the end doesn't change the level of transphobia much, the meaty part is the "no, I've decided you can't be treated as a women and you get no say" part.
So, yes, you can go downhill on cross-country skis, but you can't go cross-country on downhill skis?

I understand the pressure that Switzerland was in, and I don’t really care as I got back the money I lost on that day by many times.

At the same time I was used to the trains and trams being precise by the second in Zurich (I loved taking the train to work every day), and everything being predictable, that’s why it was a wake-up call for me.

I'm surprised I get to be the first to say this! But the answer is: work through all the exercises in The Little Schemer. If you actually do this (not just read it!), recursion will be easy and natural by the end of the book. (Or its previous incarnation, The Little Lisper).
Ah, then yes, likely for two reasons.. to prevent the exact same game from happening if you play the same moves, and also as a way to choose between equally weighted (in terms of expected value) moves

> Qubes is very "opinionated" about how things work and provides a functional but very tightly-knit product that cannot be easily modified to suit your own needs. You have to accept their choices like a good nontechnical user does - you can't modify/replace components or use a modified security model easily.

It's worth mentioning that Qubes has good reason for this.

A big part of the purpose for their existence is to help protect journalists and others who would greatly benefit from enhanced security, but don't know how to get there themselves.

1. those experts have been agreeing it'll crash ever since bitcoin hit $1, sorry if i dont have a lot of faith in their expertise.

2. .. in which you agree that producers, not consumers are responsible for carbon output. i dont get your "zero sum game" idea, we already have plenty of fusion energy available - it's called the sun. as for allocation efficiency - that's just like your opinion man.

3. i guess we'll have to wait til' you get whats the tangible benefit then...
I’ve been on a few teams that used to use slack and loom to achieve a similar effect. One benefit of loom though was the ability to have our internal communication and demos to customers in the same space. Any plans to offer sending a video to someone not in your workspace?

Pretty sure I’ve told this story several times, but this seems like a decent thread to do so again.

A few months ago I watched a video from sometime in the early-2010s. I believe this was in LA. There was a punk guy who had in his youth experienced homelessness and decided he wanted to help people in that position. He begun crowdfunding for a project that would involve constructing small shelters that had locks, power outlets with a solar panel, etc. to help some people on the street. The project started out rather successful and some of the people receiving the shelters were very thankful and express the helpfulness of this.

Not too long later, the city came back livid. Some people were complaining about their property values dropping due to these shelters (which I don’t particularly get, is having unhorsed or tented people around you going to do better anyway) and the city brought up concerns about these being on the sidewalk taking up space. They offered to relocate the shelters somewhere where they weren’t a safety hazard but the city kind of just told them to fuck off and had them confiscated and destroyed. One of the recipients of one of the shelters commented about a police officer scoffing at him and making a comment a how he should “just get a job”. All the time, there was a city bureaucrat talking about hoe the man organizing this project was helping no one and how his grand plan to “end homelessness was the real solution. I imagine that worked out great.
