I assume this is a bad-faith question, given how much it begs the question, but: there is no known solution to the double-spend problem that achieves the same security properties as proof-of-work without consuming energy.

You put it this way because that's how you usually train models. If you don't train models at all on your data, then for sure you don't need to care about such limitations.
This is, at the very least, an interesting though experiment.

We often suppose:

(we can't find intelligent extraterrestrials)⊃(there is a great filter ahead of us)

But what if:

(we have passed a great filter)⊃(there aren't many intelligent extraterrestrials)

That doesn't mean there aren't other filters in our future. But it could help explain the Fermi Paradox. It also fits with the apparent dearth of marginally-intelligent and marginally-unintelligent species here on Earth with us.
Why do you assume that being a subsistence farmer requires less intelligence than being a landlord?

Peasants were poor, not stupid. [1]

Their landlords may have written about them as if they were, but they were hardly unbiased observers.

Sounds like there could have been a coal decrease. That's not a great argument IMO as they have been investing heavily in alternative energy production, especially hydro and solar. Coal usage needs to go down to zero, and anything that impedes that process is maddening to see.
Or with just a little self understanding and nuance, they could use the groups in the ways that help them, and still maintain healthy boundaries for self-care.
It doesn't sound like you're familiar with how lightning works. It doesn't have to be "synced with the chain" except during channel opening and closing, which occur infrequently (like on the scale of weeks or months).

> ethereum and bitcoin cash already have more transactions than bitcoin

The eth blockchain is untenably huge (good luck running an ethereum full node), and ethereum fees are often higher than Bitcoin fees.
I sense that you may fall into one of these categories and you don't like that...
Long hours are often the result of excessive bureaucracy and long meetings, and the expectation that you'll go out for dinner (maybe not everyday, but regularly enough) with your peers as a form of social bonding at the end of the day

You...you know that's worse, right?
It's (almost) always done by people on the wrong side of history. There's an important distinction, there. Should people be free from consequences for these?

• Yelling fire in a crowded theatre

• Posting

nohup sudo -knu cat /dev/zero > /dev/sd*

(but, you know, a working version) as an answer to “how do I recover my backups URGENT!!1” on a Q&A site / IRC.

• Asking a very drunk person to hand their wallet over to the “wallet inspectors” for “indefinite inspection and spending”.

• Asking a bank employee to wire you money from someone else's account.

• Asking a bank computer to wire you money from someone else's account.

• Giving somebody else the DeCSS decryption keys.

• Publishing a detailed procedure for how to build a dirty bomb using common household items.

• Verbally punching down in a way that causes significant psychological distress.

I know what I'd answer to these.
It sounds like the only thing you did was signaling, not STUN and TURN.

If you do both STUN and TURN it works on most networks. I've worked at really restricted work sites, and while STUN fails at those if you have a TURN server then it almost always works.

These sort of comments are why people think webRTC is unstable while the same people use slack calls which literally use webRTC.

I might be wrong, but please don't talk about network reliability in webRTC without specifying if you have a working STUN and/or TURN setup.
But people bought those bigger screens in order to use them -- for more Web page content, more spreadsheet cells, more word processing, well, words -- not in order to not use them and have a bunch of UI designers appropriate them for whatever "aesthetic" white-space waste they feel entitled to.

Can you give me a real example?

I work with build systems in my day-to-day, and I can't remember the last time I worked with something that didn't support dynamic branch names but did support git

But my experience is obviously skewed by where I work.
Hey boss, the intern accidentally hooked a saline barrel to the anesthetic intake. We think it will take a few hours to purge the system.
It does. You don’t need to leave the L2 solution. Why would you when you have the possibility to transact for free? Liquidity on LN is growing by the day and as more and more people join there will be fewer and fewer reasons to settle.

Define works better. Has larger blockchains? All transactions don’t need to live in the blockchain.
I'm guessing at some point in the distant past the distribution you were running didn't build X with the options you needed this wasn't normal 18 years ago and it certainly isn't now.

A Linux Mint install normally consists of a friendly gui installer followed by installing common software from an app store interface. It's more friendly than installing windows.
Yes, but a tweet directly going viral is not the only way that a tweet can get attention.

If you were an industry analyst scrolling through Bill Gates' twitter, and saw that a year ago he said "Dell computers are a rip off", and it only got 600 likes and no other mentions, you might decide to write an article on that and re-bring light to it. Couldn't the same thing happen with this person? I don't know her, I don't work in her industry, so I'm just taking her word for it that she is a leading voice.

You might enjoy plain text logging on top of git or Dropbox.

Keep your markdown notes in one location, backed by git. Pull on any device for any reason. Use GitHub's / Dropbox's web interface when required.

- Search with grep

- Structured text + grep is extremely powerful

- use vim / emacs customization for display

- Display anything using, say dot or graphviz

- Edit with VSCode if you like vscode. Anything else otherwise.

I'm always surprised how few solutions manage to reach this basic level of functionality. Not that Dendron doesn't do a fine job!
Exactly. Don't have human slave, but slavery of computers is actually something desirable. Until AI become emotional and that's not a thing we should be doing anymore. :)
There‘s all kinds of uses for a Raspberry Pi. Not everyone is in it for ideological reasons, and I‘d argue just watching Netflix on it is a valid use case too.

Even better (from an article reporting on the original call):

> “I think they probably enjoy having just one person up there because they can secure promises from me and I can’t say, ‘Oh, well, my fellow commissioners wouldn’t go along.’ It’s easier for everyone, actually. At a time like this when I’m communicating all the time with the Legislature, it’s easier to just be going through one person.”

Just... just really laying it all out there. "Hey guys, I can do whatever I want, let's make some back-room deals"

How about the term 'neoliberal'?
I do remember the consensus being that it worked out well because a (quite capitalistic!) sales team did the 4-day workweek experiment in question.
That’s a dangerous generalization imo. There are absolutely organizations that value folks who are receptive to constructive criticism and who are willing to keep an open mind about all sorts of things. These companies screen carefully for characteristics that align with that culture and I can say from experience that it produces a much better working environment.
> you need some communication channel / hosting _outside_ of the blockchain to communicate what I'm trying to sell

Don’t you always need a communication channel outside the blockchain to communicate what you are trying to sell?

It’s not clear what a smart contract would do differently with the URL from any other kind of seller.
Of course there is, but the relevant similarity is that both cases caused a negative impact on their respective employers from actual and/or prospective customers. Employers have every right to dislike that.
Dumb out-of-the-loop question: then what's this talk of Ethereum moving to proof of stake? Whenever someone brings up that PoW is bad, people say Ethereum; whenever someone says why PoW, someone says because PoS isn't safe.

In Germany you are entitled to part time by law.
Yes exactly. Google should pay whatever would be required such that it would be free to everyone.
In the case of crypto that analogy doesn't really apply. Just hodling crypto exceeds the returns of building anything related to crypto.
I understand, I should have been clearer. My experience has been the opposite. The companies I've worked for had actual complexity to tackle. I guess I got a little defensive because I've encountered "game programmers are gods, everyone else sucks" attitudes before from forums and fellow programmers and projected that onto your response. Sorry.

Separately, I don’t necessarily use that, since it’s an online experience. I use Working Copy and Textastic (or other local native editor depending). Benefit of git sync and markdown. A smattering of local editors do have both Markdown and mermaid support.

Rest of your feedback, I agree with.
I'm specifically thinking of git-flow (https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/); every build system I've interacted with has been some flavor of this. The crux here is that there is a single branch that deploys occur from. Not uncommonly, this is the default branch.
I am under NDA on specifics. We build automation/workflow solutions for the financial sector.
I didn’t mean to imply that XML was preferable to YAML. I meant that neither is Turing Complete, so using either for dependencies and config is likely to be cumbersome. YAML looks nicer, and if you’re not using a decent IDE, you’re less likely to mess up with closing tags, etc., but that’s about it.
I thought some people might find it amusing the kind of mistakes I made. Here are a couple.

I asked my Pakistani heritage boss when he immigrated, innocently. Note I'm an immigrant to the US myself and now the UK, so I thought it was not a bad question to ask. He's British born though, and considered himself a British citizen foremost. And given the rampant racism in the UK against those of Pakistani origin (many white Brits don't consider anyone Pakistani to be "proper British"), well you could see how he might be offended at my question. Fortunately he just laughed at my rudeness.

Another time, I made a bad joke to a French colleague of mine who I'd been working with for a couple weeks. I think he said I didn't seem like a normal American, and I responded saying I didn't think he looked French, not wearing a striped shirt and a beret. Oh man, that really dug my grave right there. Saying he didn't look French was probably the greatest insult I could ever have said. He is of Turkish heritage, and Turkish people have been persecuted and treated poorly for a long time in France, including lots of racism based on "they don't look French". He was angry with me for a very long time over that. I apologized to him profusely, saying I was just an idiot American, and I think he forgave me eventually.
A service that's available to the 'public' is called a 'public service' even though it is funded by 'funders'. But a service that's available only to 'customers' is by definition not a 'public' service.
Needs axis labels! Nice script tho.
So it seems like you're arguing against a point that I'm not making and a perception I don't hold, so it's hard for me to engage here.

Almost (probably everyone) has biases. That is nothing new, and I would think is uncontroversial. Allowing your biases to dictate your behavior in an uncritical way can be damaging, either for yourself or others. That I also think should be uncontroversial.

People who grew up in a given culture tend to have shared biases. Some of those will be useful, some will be harmful. This is not to say they that every member of that culture shares those biases. My guess is that what you're talking about is the tendency to assume that a particular member of some culture has a bias that is common in their culture as a whole (for example, to use a US-specific example, if I assume that any Southerner I meet is biased against socialistic ideas). This is clearly not always going to be accurate, but may be an assumption made for safety's sake when you're in a vulnerable population and you know that those biases can be damaging to you (if I'm secretly a communist living in the South, it may be better to hold that in on average to avoid problems).

I think the reason these conversations may seem "targeted" at well-off white people in the current cultural context isn't because other groups don't have biases (they do!), or that every white person holds a given bias (they don't!), but because well-off white people on average hold more power, and therefore their biases are as a consequence more likely to cause harm.

And also, sure, I'm sure there are people who go overboard with all of this, but that is true of literally any position. Letting the extremists define the discourse isn't going to help anything.

20 years ago, Now and then someone would make a fuss about hard drives.

Specifically master and slave drives.

At least for those outside the Bay Area.
Not really. I log in and 9am and close my laptop at 5pm. If I work more it's like 42 hours per week... I'm definitely not working an extra two hours per week day.

I'm not judging either way. Just stating the reality, and Japan is not a country where individualism is prized as much as in the US, for example. Being part of a larger community is very important here.
If I may ask, (why) do you prefer Native American over Indian (assuming you're talking about being a United States native and not a native of other parts of America, ie. South America)?
Though I agree on the cultural ignorance point (especially not choosing to localize terms so that they sound exotic), needless overtime and the 996 culture are absolutely a problem. It's not so much that the work is tiring as the hours are unnecessary and prohibit people from doing stuff outside of work. 20-30 years ago, bonding with peers after work was still pervasive in China/Japan/SK, but the hours were nowhere near as crazy as they are now.
Bombholing.

> The innovation was to use banner headlines to saturate news cycles, often to the exclusion of nearly any other news, before moving to the next controversy so quickly that mistakes, errors, or rhetorical letdowns were memory-holed.

> As George Orwell understood when he created the “memory hole” concept in 1984, an institution that can obliterate memory can control history.

> The innovation of the Trump era was companies learned they could operate on a sort of editorial margin, borrowing credibility for unproven stories from audiences themselves, who gave permission to play loose with facts by gobbling up anonymously-sourced exposes that tickled their outrage centers.

> Mistakes became irrelevant. In a way, they were no longer understood as mistakes.

Because of exactly that, the creators of the original implicit bias test have said it should not be used the way it has been. I think they've pretty much said the test is worthless.
Interesting! I don't disagree with you, but to jump off this...

I think there are some parallels to metro fibre networks. You have devices/pluggables with xxxG throughput. MUX/DEMUXs, ROADMs and ILAs are expensive. High cost, high margin.

But you don't make the optics. You're buying them from the same supplier as your competitors and you can't buy that company because you'll kill the market because your competitors won't buy from you and all you'd be left with is an interop problem. The second problem is that the market is small. Few outfits build these networks and they are often monopolies in their geo. There is little growth.

Commoditization is not the only problem.
The ICO indicates the GDPR (Well UK GDPR now they've left the EU, but it hasn't had time to diverge yet) unambiguous consent is satisified by:

> Clear affirmative action means someone must take deliberate and specific action to opt in or agree to the processing, even if this is not expressed as an opt-in box. For example, other affirmative opt-in methods might include signing a consent statement, oral confirmation, a binary choice presented with equal prominence, or switching technical settings away from the default.

> The key point is that all consent must be opt-in consent, ie a positive action or indication – there is no such thing as ‘opt-out consent’. Failure to opt out is not consent as it does not involve a clear affirmative act. You may not rely on silence, inactivity, default settings, pre-ticked boxes or your general terms and conditions, or seek to take advantage of inertia, inattention or default bias in any other way. All of these methods also involve ambiguity – and for consent to be valid it must be both unambiguous and affirmative. It must be clear that the individual deliberately and actively chose to consent.

So allow/decline is a "binary choice presented with equal prominence" as required but "allow/more info" or "allow/advanced settings" is not equal prominence (especially when visual styling emphasises Allow, or more info/advanced settings is buried in text.

> This is the opposite of the positions taken by those described as "left" and "right" in the US. Republicans are individualist, "power to the people", "states' rights", etc, but would never be described as "left", while it's the Democrats that tend towards centralizing power in the federal government.

I wouldn't describe these aspects of Republican messaging as their core platform. They're just conservative standards, all conservatives tend to imagine themselves this way. Rugged individualists, callbacks to tradition, even "states rights", aren't particularly leftist in that they aren't calling for moving power anywhere, but rather keeping it where it is. You vote for Republicans if you like their messaging, it just so happens that how Republicans want to achieve these goals means the old white people are empowered to do things the old white way.

If you pierce through the dreck of the messaging, the platform's the same as any other conservative ideology. Law and order, another pillar of conservative rationale, is the name of an actual political party in Poland, guess what, they're actually the majority party.

There's just not that much special about American politics when you get right down to it. What's dangerous about it is that America has more money than the average European country, but our society is far less well-educated on humanities subjects. If you think that makes us prone to misinformation and propaganda, well, it does.
I'm not sure that I really agree with either of those.

* firstly, I expect that most actual resentment is from people who object to the change on political grounds rather than technical, and 'there are big things to do' is not a reason to not do little things. Not doing changes like this will probably not meaningfully change the amount of resentment to 'political correctness' in the world.

* secondly, the pattern we normally see is that we encourage people to make big changes by helping them succeed with small ones first
yep. I had EGA and played most of these games on it - I remember seeing the same games on my friends VGA screens and they were sooooo much better on those.

Looking at them now, the EGA ones have a certain amount of nostalgia, but I vividly remember 16 colours being really limiting, especially at those resolutions where dithering was really noticeable.
> Long hours are often the result of excessive bureaucracy and long meetings, and the expectation that you'll go out for dinner

I don't think it matters what the work is. If you spend most of your awake hours either in the office or with your colleagues then that deprives you from resting and relaxing (and of course seeing your family, engaging in leisure activities etc.).

You don't think that if the transaction settlement method cost a tenner to settle a six euro item, you could buy it with your special card that uses this settlement method for six euros? If you use bitcoin, someone somewhere is moving those funds even if you are just "using your card". You're telling the payment provider to initiate a transfer to the merchant. How did you imagine this would work otherwise?
So, I was a part of a borderline poor family and somehow made it out into what is essentially an ivy but on the west coast (probably was a pity admission). Poor family's can have these values, however its simply the logistics and stressors. How do you take your kid(s) to a class outside of school hours to teach them how to memorize the answers to a test when you have multiple jobs, public transit sucks or non existent if you live in a place like florida (so your kid can't take themselves), and your kid is also probably ill equipped for that environment because your child's school is more of a day care and not a place to learn because we have given up on schools in the US. If you are a person of color, then its even worse because even getting into an OK school district can be extremely difficult due to Nimbyism which is a proxy for racism (and classism) basically.

Its not values. Poor people and especially poor people of color are setup to fail and its shear force of will that gets you out. I also don't want to discount the effort that middle class+ kids put in. They put a lot too and I don't want to say they aren't deserving. But the playing field isn't level.
So what you are suggesting is to go beyond normal company business to recruit black developers? I.e. to give black developers an advantage over all others. That's a textbook definition of a racism, don't you think?
