The beauty of steel is that it will yield plastically beyond its normal design stress. It would have been possible for them to damage the ship to the point where it required significant repairs but still be capable of exiting the canal.

Gov is not the Media or is it. So Government overseeing Media is not the same thing as Government overseeing itself.

I think it should in fact work quite well. Government should oversee Media and Media should oversee the Government.
I disagree. I think digital USD would be far more valuable than any blockchain tech I’ve seen so far.

It does, but its insistence on tiny blocks means all transactions are extremely expensive. Bitcoin Cash adheres to the original Bitcoin design, has moved to larger blocks, but still retains all the other advantages. And it's not the only one, few cryptocurrencies are as expensive as Bitcoin to transact.
I agree with the spirit of what you're saying, but there billions of lines of JavaScript code that can't "just go away". Being able to use e.g. 'window.crypto' without worrying about whether I'm in Node, Deno, some other runtime or a browser is great news for reusing huge amounts of code.

Am I missing something? Aren't ALIAS lookups free?

https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing/

"DNS queries are free when both of the following are true:

The domain or subdomain name (example.com or acme.example.com) and the record type (A) in the query match an alias record.

The alias target is an AWS resource other than another Route 53 record."

I make a lot of use of "Layer 3 switches" and I try to always say that with scarequotes, along with "smart firewall" and "router". For a lot of reasons, some good and more bad, network vendors have mostly abandoned the tidy separation of concerns often taught in classes. I still say "SCTP is the future" in the voice of a professor who repeated this endlessly, and the failed adoption of SCTP is a big symptom of the practical difficulties actually posed by the layer model.

Far more common today is to handle unusual "L4" protocols by tunneling them, which leads to another increasingly common situation that teaching via the OSI model does not prepare students for: "L2" protocols tunneled back through an "L3" protocol. Or in telco networks usually, through a different "L2" protocol (MPLS, ATM, pick your poison). These are all things that the layered network model empowers us to do, but the "OSI-first" teaching approach, at least as I have seen it, mentions scarcely or not at all.
How many hours of specialist work would it be to find and replace a single tiny faulty IC on a large PCB? I can't imagine it's actually cost effective.
They might be opening the gates to more onerous reporting requirements per the IRS. People are required to pay capital gains tax on crypto gains, and if people are servicing debts with crypto, then visa will probably need to issue some sort of tax document detailing the price of the currency at time of payment.

I'm sure their lawyers and accountants understand this and are fine with such a system.

From an investors perspective. There is the risk of extreme fluctuation in prices on exchanges. If people are paying their bills at one rate, but Visa is getting a different, lower exchange rate, then that could potentially cost the company dearly.

This is probably something they've also thought about and presumably they are scheming to make additional cash from arbitrage.

One could think that cryptcurrencies are foolish, while simultaneously thinking of ways a business could make money off of crypto or their holders.

If anything you'd have to go the opposite way: use safe by default and add the option to turn off runtime checks like bounds checks on slice access. Because when you write safe code, you tell the compiler about the invariants of your code, while with unsafe code, you keep them in your mind yourself. They might not even translate to any safe Rust constructs at all. E.g. if you pass a pointer in C, what is the recipient of the pointer supposed to do with it? Is the memory content initialized? Who is responsible for deallocation? On the other hand, if the compiler is told invariants in terms of safe code, it's easy to avoid any runtime checks for them.
The evidence suggests that brainstorming doesn't work so well - the loudest and earliest views tend to dominate.

Instead, the recommendation seems to be to allow people to generate ideas in silence first. This is my approach, which has worked very effectively in groups of up to a dozen remotely for a variety of questions:

https://www.makingdatamistakes.com/how-to-run-an-idea-stampe...
It's the same idea round buying a season ski pass vs pay each day. Or owning a car vs renting it for each need. It's not that its more cost effective it's the idea of having to do a mental hurdle every time you want to do something. The sunk cost is an enabler to go do something vs having to pay each time and get value out of that trip.

I've had this debate many times with friends. Am I hyper efficient with my spend? No, am I happy about my decision making process and/or less decisions to make? Absolutely.

If I see micro transactions for reading articles SMH. Conceptually I see where you are going but it would have really bad ripple effects IMHO.
> The alternative is to develop the entire stack in house. Unlikely that you’ll do any better and meanwhile your competitors will pass you by.

First, you'd never develop everthing in house. But there is a middle ground between selecting a few very well known dependencies that are nowhere near practical to do in-house (e.g. OpenSSL) and the extreme of the npm world where every one-liner is a package.

Another great solution is to select a language with a rich well-tested standard library.

Rely on the standard library for 80% of your utility class needs. Complement with a small number of well-known external libraries for another 20% and the remaining 10% build in-house.

If one can't, off the top of their head, name every external dependency and where they come from, that's too many.

Indeed, it's almost certainly my own opinion. The fundamental technology or platform to implement a micropayments system very much exists though, it's something PayPal could implement in a heartbeat.
Also supporting a system you appreciate has an added value, less hassle etc.
It’s an improvement but it’s not quite good enough IMO. Apple has a few weird and insane requirements that extend to independent repair stores.

If you want to get your battery replaced. The settings app must show that the battery health is at 80% or lower. If it doesn’t for some reason, the repair store is not allowed by apple to swap the battery regardless of what you have experienced or what you are willing to pay.
Awesome! Was looking forward to it. I like how we can make as many database calls as we want!
It very much depends on which band that spectrum is in. If 400MHz was worth the same everywhere, it's doubtful that amateur radio would have >4.7GHz of it allocated on a primary basis in the EHF band, for example.
I think having a moral compass is important, because a lot of people will optimize for themselves in the short term, and screw up society in the long term. But I don't think this is obvious at all to people unless they're taught, or if they are really good at learning from their own mistakes.

I think others have pointed this out to you, but there is a high dependence on people learning this through good parenting, good teachers, and being around the right people, all while having security for things like food, shelter, etc.

Some of those things get wrapped up in the over-arching term called "privilege" but I think there is something to be said for the fact that you can't assume most people are securing these things. But you can assume that in the absence of this kind of security, many people (maybe even most) will lose their moral compass.
Appreciate that! Really excited to open this up and get more devs building interesting loan products on our platform.
God, as portrayed in the OT, is clearly a being. God has specific thoughts, agency and expresses emotions. God gets tired after making the universe and takes the weekend off. God despairs of humanity and decides to kill everyone in a flood. God calls himself a jealous God. God even argues with Jonah about a houseplant (Jonah 4) and haggles with Ezekiel over what kind of excrement to bake his bread over (Ezekiel 4).
The 25/5-ratio is ridiculous.

At least for me. Using 50/10 meanwhile because when I used 25/5 I just closed the Pomodoro app to keep going instead of being reminded to make a pause again and again. It felt like snoozing away the wake up alarm all the time. But I didn't want to wake up!

50/10 mins with a warning at 40mins is way better. The 10 minutes usually are used to get something to drink/snack/coffee giving the ADD-shakes in my legs something else to do (walking).

It happens from time to time, when I'm really into something, that I just switch it off to stay zoned out for hours.

PS: Thanks for the link.
I'm tired of this flippant statement that many crypto-detractors take as fact, that there's no intrinsic value in Bitcoin. When you create a product or service that other people want to use and pay you for, is there no intrinsic value there?
Movies often drop to $4 or $5 (and you can almost always rent them for $4 and sometimes less) and complete tv series often go for $20-50.

I don’t currently have Netflix, but when I did have it there were rarely two movies per month that I wanted to watch that they had. Seemed like they mostly switched to niche tvlike series.

While that would be great, it's a pointless wish considering Apple has been steadily moving in the exact opposite direction for years. And now other manufacturers are doing the same following their lead. Forget ICs, now you can't even upgrade storage or RAM in your own computer.
Yes. It initializes tun interface on both ends, so you can transport any IP packets.

Etherium is more oriented towards transactions than Bitcoin.

Maybe Bitcoin is so much horrendously worse that makes what you said true but Ethereum is pretty terrible. Unless I’m missing something?

If I want to send .001 ETH (i.e. $1.81) from my MEW wallet to my Coinbase wallet, I am charged $7.388 in fees if I want it confirmed in three minutes. If I’m not in a hurry and pick the slowest option that goes down to the low low price of $6.133. To send $1.81 from me to myself. These are network fees, not Coinbase (who will then charges me fees again to either sell or transfer the money).

I love that there’s a link right on the transfer page of MEW that says, “Why are the fees so high?” that basically tells you it might get better someday but for now it’s how it is.

I’ve been using Crypto since you could mine BTC with a GPU but I still don’t get what the use case is outside of illicit purchases and “buy it because it goes up.” Maybe I’m stupid.
Exactly, he's pointing out that the revaluation of all religious values does not lead to atheism, but to individually chosen principles that must also be based on a faith due to the uncertainty that such beliefs are meant to deal with. Even athiesm itself can be viewed as a fundamentalist religious belief that is based on faith.
From the "Conclusion & Recommendations" section:

> Of the five multilingual corpora evaluated, we consistently found severe issues with quality, especially in the lower-resource languages. We rated samples of 205 languages, and found that 87 of them had under 50% usable data, with a full 15 languages at 0% in-language. We furthermore found consistent issues with mislabeled data and nonstandard language codes, particularly in the JW300 dataset, and identified 82 affected corpora, at least 48 of which were entirely spurious (Section 5). While there might have been anecdotal evidence of insufficient quality for some of the datasets, the majority of these quality issues had not been reported, nor been investigated in depth. These issues might go unnoticed for languages that are not represented in the evaluation of the crawling methods, and cause harm in downstream applications. In addition to quality issues we found a wide range of issues with language codes, particularly in JW300 and CCAligned, including mislabeled data, invented codes, deprecated codes, and superset relations between language codes.

> We therefore strongly recommend looking at samples of any dataset before using it or releasing it to the public. As we have shown, one does not need to be proficient in a language to see when there are serious quality issues, and a quick scan of 100 sentences can be sufficient to detect major problems. Moreover, going through and annotating a small sample of data can bring useful insights about new ways to filter or use it.
> I wouldn’t say that C++ or Java have particularly rich standard libraries

The Java standard library is about as rich as it gets. I rarely ever have had to use external dependencies when working on Java projects.
Not many. When you work with the same boards over and over, you tend to know the places to check when certain issues come up. Fewer dollars in man-hours than the cost of a board replacement.
This looks like the kind of game I’d be into but I avoided it because of all the bugs. Is it now in reasonable shape or are these fixes just the tip of the iceberg?
> Why is Amazon being singled out here?

"Amazon forces warehouse workers to pee in bottles" was a thing two years ago. I haven't heard of this being a common thing outside anecdotal accounts, and looking at the amazon employees subreddits it sounded like it was overblown. Amazon responded forcefully to that claim in their tweet, and was subsequently hit with a 'gotcha!' when the drivers were reported to be doing it.

From what I've read, Amazon's warehouses aren't a fun place to work, but not overall different from any other warehouse job. Along the same lines, their delivery jobs aren't remarkably different from other delivery jobs and the drivers peeing in bottles is a thing that happens across the board in the industry.
Only model 4 has USB3 (and that one comes with two ports that only have USB2), in case you don't need the higher performance.
I think I've said this before on computer.rip, maybe not, but I've joked that "ICMP is original sin" as it's kind of the start of a whole set of consistency-breaking aspects of the IP stack - ARP is another one. I still think layers are a useful concept but yes, it's clear that believing in them too much will get you in trouble. In practice developers have seldom hesitated to violate the layer boundary if it's convenient.
The mere fact that their people demanding these things means that they are wanted.

It’s not so bad if you can get enough customers and it’s all the same laptop. Lewis Rossman has a very good knowledge of the MacBook internals and he can very quickly identify which chip is dead because it’s often the same chips that fail and they give the same symptoms so with a few voltage checks with a multi meter you can work out what chip needs replacing.

The problem is the suppliers for apple have tightened protocols and they won’t talk to him anymore so what used to be $1 in new parts and $40 in effort is now telling the customer to throw their MacBook in the bin.

The economics also changes in other countries where the cost of a laptop far exceeds the wages of the people living there so having someone mess around with it for a few days is still more cost effective than getting a new one.
He's really not, though. He means that these are the activities from which people derive purpose. People derive purpose from religion, or money, or beauty, or status.

I was curious so I looked...

Wikipedia[0] says the energy of a gallon of gas is 33.70 kWh and MPGe is:

(total miles driven) * (energy of one gallon of gasoline) / (total energy of all fuels consumed)

My Tesla Model 3 LR RWD has a government rating[1] of 130 MPGe, the odometer[2] reads 26,328 mi and 6,727 kWh:

26328 * 33.7 / 6727 = 131.89 MPGe

So I'm doing better than the rated MPGe. I don't hypermile either, my partner would kindly describe my driving as aggressive.

I don't think you understood the point he made.

It is a question of trust, as you have correctly pointed out... But there has been precedence of women behaving as you currently seem to do, just to go public with stories going back years, taken out of context and portrayed as extreme sexism.

Any interaction is a potential liability with very little potential reward.
Micro transactions would open up new business opportunities. And I don't find it very taxing when for example going to the grocery store where you make a lot of small purchase decisions. One concern though is book-keeping and tax rules if you run an international small business - but I guess that can be automated too ... So that the state automatically get their VAT from every transaction and in turn provides a payment system completely free from transfer fees.
Yes, I understand how anycast works (I work for an anycast based CDN).

The issue is that you can't do percentage based routing with anycast... in fact, you can ONLY do shortest hop routing with anycast (at least for WAN anycast). That means that, while different edge networks can go to a different datacenter, every individual edge network will hit only a single datacenter.

The key issue is that anycast is a very blunt tool. You are relying on your BGP announcements to route traffic, but you aren't actually in control of where a particular request goes.
Good point about feedback loops. I remember there was some material in GEB about turning a video-camera on its output on the screen. Aren't neural networks and their training basically all about feedback?

I really don't understand why some people have to turn to atheism when not participating in organised religion is quite easy enough. This is what the article implies, church membership as opposed to faith. Why even bother to deny something that others believe without proof and needlessly argue about it? Maybe it makes them happy, more secure. Vocal atheists usually annoy me more than christian evanghelists, mostly because of the negative message.
I thought this was pretty interesting and goes into a hypothesis of why ECT might be effective (in the context of sleep deprivation being effective) https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/sleep-is-the-mate-of-d...

It's also possible the memory loss is partly a treatment effect and not a side effect. It might be weakening some of these learned patterns is what helps shake loose the depression.

"Put these two lines of research together and you get something like: synapse density increases over the course of the day, then sleep prunes it down again. Depression is associated with low synapse density. So it would make sense that depression gets better over the course of the day (including the extra-long artificial days of sleep deprivation) and then gets worse again after sleep."
