I agree that on this point the analogy is weak. But it describes the ignorance of all those hyping it up well.

People are generally aware that if someone is presenting a perpetuum mobile they are wrong. Free energy doesn't exist. The fact that you can't have free momentum is just as strong (and has been known longer), yet less widely intuited.

Let me give you an analogy though:

Let's say someone proposes a water base perpetuum mobile like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_motion#/media/File:W...

It only works if you place the machine under a massive waterfall though. Now this would be very difficult to refute experimentally, because you have to account for all possible interactions in the waterfall.

That's what the EM Drive is. A perpetuual motion machine built in such a way that there's a lot of energy going around and it's hard to eliminate all spurious interactions.

It makes sense.

In my experience the primary goal for most crypto holders is to be a part of a new elite. This is why the most popular currencies have a fixed supply. That way, if they're popular earlier adopters get to be a part of the elite. With such a premise it makes sense to treat crypto like the lottery as the gain/loss likelihood is very similar to say, Mega Millions.

I do see value in a crypto that's pinned at a weighted average of every single currencies' worldwide weight. That way you get the advantage of crypto, but it's a perfectly stable currency. Needless to say, very few people at least on HN have bragged about owning an inflationary crypto currency. Why? Because they're not getting rich nor is there an opportunity for them to be a part of the techno-elite.

My biggest concern is a fixed-supply currency gives no government the ability to provide stimulus if necessary. Many advocates argue that governments shouldn't provide stimulus but history shows that's generally a terrible idea (the gold standard, for example, contributed in some ways to The Great Depression).

EDIT: I don't feel like responding individually, but I will say that I've read both the Bitcoin and Ethereum whitepaper and there's nothing about grievances of traditional governments usage of printing of their currencies.

I feel that the "that's a feature" is more a post-hoc rationalization that allows one to say they're in the right while simultaneously benefiting early adopters. Regardless, every government in world history that's pinned their currency to something that's relatively fixed has had a severe depression with some part of that depression being contributed to said pinning. It's just not good economics. Feel free to respond with a contrary example if you'd like.

Right, if they can't afford to take sick time they probably can't afford to not work for four weeks. Any idea if the government is helping these people at all? I didn't see any mention of businesses or employees in the article
All of the bloviating reminded me of business school classes. You want to go there to learn, but there’s a few people who just want to hear themselves talk who end up wasting your time.
So no work rescheduling? That is a significant divergence from k8s and means you cannot "replace" it with this

What Boros said in an interview (won't link it since it's in Hungarian) is that there's an extra fee to be paid for the authors to be able to put the papers on their own homepage as open access articles.

I don't know more details about it, but surely he can answer your question or you can find the answer in sciencedirect or whatever. I'm not familiar with the science bureaucracy machine, sorry.

Persuading someone to read an article which is irrelevant to them is likely a bad thing.

Just because you don’t have a good metric for something doesn’t mean that what you can measure is better.

A metric can simply lead to bad results, and thefore be a bad metric.
From the article:

What exactly is it scientists aren't admitting? Is there some big failure that we're not aware of? For that matter, is there some mistake (big or small) that hasn't already become a rhetorical hammer to say "Scientists got this wrong therefore my crack theory is correct"?

As far as I can tell, the answer comes about halfway through the article: "Less than a year later, I must admit, at the expense of my ego, I was wrong." Is there anything to this article than looking for back pats for having done the right thing?

I mean, yes, you're a good cat and a pretty cat. Props. Well done.

But was anybody under the impression that epidemiologists and public health experts and virologists and basically everybody weren't about to spend the next decade dissecting everything that happened over the last 18 months?

Or are we looking for some specific public self-flagellation? To what end? Will it actually increase the public confidence in science?
Exactly - there is no such thing as "no negotiation"

The “store of wealth” excuse is pretty transparently just to lure greater fools after the crypto-is-money thing didn’t pan out. The only wealth that’s stored is the network of people pumping these things. And guess what: that network will move on to the next thing eventually.

There are more irrational agents than rational agents in cryptocurrency markets so no surprise there is lottery like behavior. Irrational agents bet on luck earning them profit or something like gut feeling and rational agents bet on analysis they've done and information they've gathered thought out research. And whole cryptomarket is largely unregulated so there are many cases of market manipulation.

You could see what happens when large group of irrational agents enters the market in the case of GameStop.

Well, there is the view that the “left” in America has always been the party of racism - in the mid 19th century the democrats were pro slavery, in the early 20th century they were promoting eugenics[1], in the mid 20th century it was the democrats that had to be cajoled/bribed/whipped to get the civil rights act passed, not the republicans. In the late 20th century, Thomas Sowell was making a pretty compelling case that the welfare state (advocated for by the left) was only serving to keep black society in the gutter, the Clintons were talking about “super-predators”, and the criticism of the “soft bigotry of low expectations” was leveled precisely at leftist policies.

Today, it’s the democrats arguing for a new form of segregation (separate ceremonies for graduation, separate standards of success, painting things like hard work, self reliance, and the nuclear family as “white” values[0]).

People like to promote the idea that the parties “switched” at some point in time, but looking at the history of the US since the civil war, it’s hard to see where that would have happened in any meaningful way. Seems like the same crap dressed up in whatever rhetoric is convenient, which at times is mind-numbingly contradictory.

A lot of people with good intentions are taken in by it though.

Well, in the US civil war, the South did succeed and did attempt to make treaties with other nations. They weren't very successful it seems, but that's not because they didn't try. In the American Revolution, a critical factor in victory was our alliances with France and Germany.

If Taiwan is properly regarded as a domestic issue, US intervention is improper and is "starting something" that would otherwise be contained locally... much like WWI's system of alliances.

It doesn’t make economic sense to build basically an entire new supply chain though.

You can’t just build a modern foundry with any amount of money. TSMC is part of a massive supply chain and engineering cluster. If you wanted to build something that looked like TSMC and in an emergency could produce something in six months you are probably talking about tens of billions per year at a minimum. Most of your costs are things TSMC gets paid for.

Since that doesnt really make sense you probably want a homegrown competitor. You just don’t have the domestic experience and expertise to replicate what TSMC has; It will never be cost competitive. TSMC can send billions on fabs and recover their costs and a domestic alternative will never be able to. Modern chips have to be adapted to each foundry; a homegrown alternative will have to eat this cost at first just to get orders.

If you want to be competitive you need to go big and stay there. Something like $100 billion a year for the foreseeable future would be the minimum. You could probably limp along with massive discounts.
You can't be talking of Spring Framework!? That's a 2000's solution (in particular Hibernate) trying to stay relevant.

> I think the solution is to make SSN useless for anything.

It is rapidly approaching that point by virtue of all these breaches. SSNs are like gold or fiat currency: they only hold value because they are relatively scarce. If too many are in circulation, then no institution will trust them, which makes them useless.

> If people are worried the masses are too dumb for PKI

Use OAuth to communicate with a central service that uses FIDO2 for authentication. Easy to use, easy to revoke, almost impossible to pwn.
The way at which we are opening up here in Washington State, you'd think that Covid was gone. But now here we are with double the cases we had when we originally shut down, and we're opening things back up. It's like we did all the previous shutdowns for nothing... like all that we did to isolate, work from home, etc was for nothing. It makes it feel like we were wrong to shut down before, and that it wasn't even necessary.

Sure we have a vaccine now, a vaccine that most people don't have. It's not any safer now than it has been. It makes it feel like the Republicans were partly right in that the shutdowns only caused unnecessary economic damage, and that isolation did nothing. I want to believe that's not true, but that's not the message that I'm getting now.
The point of a headline is to get you to view ads. The article is incidental. It keeps you on the page so more ads can be shown.
There's plenty of cryptocurrencies that are more akin to stock in a project or have functionalities tied to them. For example, ETH which is used to pay fees to run code on the chain, SNX which allows you to invest in synthetic assets, decentralized exchanges like UNI or SUSHI, rewards for users as in the spotify-like AUDIO etc.
To be fair, the utility of crypto projects has remained primarily in theory. There is only minimal advantage to using crypto for actual payments in any legal transaction, and there are some pretty glaring disadvantages (volatility for one).

Also, I'm not sure your counterpoint is that legitimate. No one is investing in gold in the hopes that it doubles or triples in value, whereas that is clearly the hopes of many BTC or ETH buyers.

That's a good question. The answer is that the time between the two events will vary for different observers, however the property that light can't travel fast enough between the events is invariant and can be agreed upon by all observers.

It's somewhat important that this property remains invariant, simply because all observers should be able to agree whether a flash produced at one point in spacetime is visible at another point in spacetime.

>YMMV, but this approach is what causes software projects to balloon way beyond initial time requirements, and to be way out of date already when eventually released.

This is why you need to determine what your MVP is and ship when the MVP is done, rigorously. In this case, either they chose the wrong MVP, or they shipped before reaching it. Thus the current situation is a result of indecision, not agile methods. Agile is not an excuse to ship half-baked software.

Here's how I would have managed this project, for what it's worth: if we determined that migrating fully in the allotted cycles was infeasible, I would have moved all of the settings we didn't have time to migrate from the Control Panel into a command-line tool or registry keys, gotten rid of Control Panel when I shipped Settings, and then incrementally added the ones we missed back into the new view. What infuriates me most about Windows are compromises like this, which are plainly a result of prioritizing existing user workflows over creating a consistent user experience.

Materialize is a streaming database for real-time applications. Materialize lets you ask questions about your data, and then get low-latency, correct answers, which are kept incrementally updated as the underlying data changes.
Materialize is built on Timely Dataflow, a low-latency cyclic dataflow computational model, first introduced in the paper "Naiad: a timely dataflow system".

Materialize is co-founded by Frank McSherry, the primary author of Timely Dataflow (http://timelydataflow.com) and Differential Dataflow (http://differentialdataflow.com), the two open source projects that power Materialize. Materialize itself is source-available and entirely written in Rust: https://github.com/MaterializeInc/materialize

Materialize is a team of over thirty, primarily based in New York City but also open to remote positions in the EU and NA. We are hiring in all engineering positions (eng. manager, engineers from new grad to principal) as well as several non-engineering positions - for the full list, see https://materialize.com/careers

We are a team of significantly experienced individuals in databases and distributed systems, and looking to add more folks with that interest and/or experience to our team. Materialize recently raised a $32m Series B led by Kleiner Perkins, which was lovingly hacker newsed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25277511

Unlikely to unfold that way (we are 20 years into the RealID standard recommendation and it has been delayed again).

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, SSN is not the only fact used for authentication. We need to move away from all pure fact-knowledge proofs of ID and to MfA preferably with one factor based on a government issued ID and asymmetric encryption.
I manage a few of these. One I have installed at a customer location acted very strangely until I ran it through a full factory reset.

I observed the UI was hiding the ability to apply updates, SSH was enabled, but it didn't allow me to connect and the name of it was changed to what looked like the MAC address.

No permissions were changed, the UDM was sitting unattended and the other administrative user did not update their password prior to this happening.

I am very paranoid and ended up doing a full reset as I was only able to partially administrate it.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

P.S. The full reset did seem to resolve it

It's another pseudo lock down that won't accomplish anything. Ford has been putting in half measures and has lacked follow through. It has confused the population, and people are growing tired of his bullshit. This is resulting in people making up their own rules.

Vaccine roll out has also been a laugh. The older populations book their appointments early in the morning, so the vaccine clinic sit vacant throughout the day.

I'm deeply disappointed by our federal and provincial government. I'm also really disappointed in my fellow citizens.

We got so over confident from a strong start, but we have been fumbling along since we reopened too early last summer. We had an opportunity to drive cases down to single digit, but the province opened when we were just under 100 cases / day. We haven't recovered since.
