I don't ever see most nations willingly giving up monetary policy by ceding to cryptocurrencies. This is especially true for China and the US. They can however adopt their own version, where they remain the authority and would operate the nodes responsible for handling transactions. This would allow many of the advantages of cryptocurrencies while still allowing a country to control not only the money supply but also be able to audit money and (even in the cases of fraud and theft) return money to its rightful owners. You could even have a system where you can freely convert between the digital version and the physical cash version.

> Truman students are high-achieving in high school, and they get to college and they can no longer compete with everyone here, and they get depressed.

This is life, at some point it is thrust into your face that there are always other people who do what you do, and do it better.

Participation in competitive sports can be a good way to learn to deal with this at an earlier age. Every level, from youth to junior high to JV to Varsity to college/minor and ultimately pro has a talent filter. You can be good on your middle school team and then in high school find that you don't make the Varsity cut.
I've used it in medical in a multi-lingual setting and there it's basically the only game in town.
Good point (and the username stands out too).

Imagine though you're asking "okay, I see you're a lawyer, but you're a black lawyer and I'm afraid that your public credibility in this part of the country may (alas!) be compromised"?
> marketing their software as production ready, easy-to-use, and working out of the box while it being the exact opposite

I stuck my nose into NativeScript years ago and turned right around because of the disconcertingly large gap between the slick experience promised by the project web site and the rough edges reported by people trying to use it.

Presenting your project as a polished solution when it still has a ton of rough edges is not a social norm, an emotional necessity, a human right, a signal of scrappy ambition, or "just what people do." It's a deception that can cause harm. Normally people are not within their rights to demand solutions from open-source projects, but it's fair to ask them to live up to their marketing. They could fix this by rewriting their marketing to better reflect the state of the project, so they attract the right users for the current level of maturity.

Zuckerberg and Bezos aren't receiving new equity grants either.
They ran dragon on contemporary computers, and that was very good at least 10 years ago, probably more. So they have voice recognition working well on what would now be considered very constrained hardware.
Take a look at haxe[0] for a compile-to-js ML inspired language. It's relatively mature these days and integrates with existing typescript definitions via dts2hx[1]

My bad. I thought op was talking about George Floyd.
He never made $13B in a day. It's just a stock price fluctuation that can be given back tomorrow. He doesn't get to spend it.

And even if you count stock fluctuations as income, he never earned it in one day, he earned it over 25 years of work.
I set up my blog on CF pages about a month ago. I guess I chose a domain and did the github flow and that was it, everything clicked and worked on the first try. Haven't had to open the UI since.

I have been using CF for a few years now (dns, caching) but the services they've recently launched have been especially impressive (pages, stream).
You can also hide them. Flagging means something serious.
When is it replacing PoW? I've heard this promise for years now. Time for new rebuttals.
The cheapest available Epyc (7313P) has 16 cores and dual socket systems have up to 128 cores and 256 threads. Server workloads are massively parallel, so a 4+4 core M1 would be embarrassed and Apple wouldn't want to subject themselves to that comparison.

But another reason they won't do it is that TSMC has a finite amount of 5nm fab capacity. They can't make more of the chips than they already do.
Not really no...Companies typically don't want to lose their CEOs so with the accounting change they are incentivized to give out larger and larger stock comps.

Combine that with the rocketship of the market these past 20 years....

I'm so lost. I see these "ms adding shit feature" to windows articles all the time, I go looking for the feature and I can't find it for the life of me. I have auto updates turned on, and the only "modification" I have is I disable bing suggestions in search.

why is it that some people see all this crap, and I'm just sitting here thinking win10 is working perfect and is the best os to date
Have you looked into newer consensus mechanisms that consume vastly less energy - like Proof of History - that blockchains like Solana use?

> The small value cryptocurrencies provide over other digital transaction methods

I’m not aware of any other digital transaction methods that can send un-printable money besides cryptos.

I think devaluing currency to inflate stocks and fund wars is harmful, and cryptos are a valuable solution. Although, I think there’s better than PoW.
To forgive someone's social incompetence could be considered appropriate in this context.
considering doing ctrl + f "atat7024" proves otherwise, you are simply not worth replying to anymore, seeing as how you cannot conduct basic research or you are willing spreading misinformation.
You're replying to a comment that includes a tweet from the CEO of Cloudflare, which is quite literally providing that competition with free bandwidth and an increasing suite of computing products.

There are plenty of other platforms as well, like Digitalocean, that have much lower bandwidth pricing.
I don't have to click on a website called stallmansupport.org. The name says it all.
My beef with many chat apps is to have to authenticate with my telephone number or an email address. Both are hard to acquire in sufficient quantities for a 'normal' user.

So I came up with a decentralised authentication system.

It offers easy key exchange between total strangers. Once they create an private channel there is no way for authorities to take it back.

Here's the protocol:

Signup:
- each site operates an automated CA;
- an account is a nickname and public key;
- the sites' CA creates a certificate binding the nickname, public key and site-root-CA together;
- the user's User Agent does the hard work of the crypto.

Requirement: the nickname and public key have not been seen before, the CA rejects when either has seen before. This creates a one-to-one mapping between nicknames and public keys. This one-to-one relationship will be verified. All hell breaks lose for the automated CA that cannot comply with that simple requirement: uniqueness.

Posting messages:
- users can create as many accounts at each site;
- users can post public messages at that site, the messages are signed using the account's private key.

Reading messages:
- the site publishes the message signature along with the message (perhaps hidden with CSS);
- the user's user agent verifies the signature;
- if the signature matches, (and the uniqness requirement holds) the agent offers the user the option to write a private message, encrypted using the public key that has been validated form the signature.

The reader then writes a private message to the writer of a post. The site delivers it (or not). But if yes, then we have a successful key exchange between two people who have never met in real life!

To repeat: This does not give any certainty about the person behind the signed message, all it offers is a key exchange between strangers.

This opens new avenues. Suppose the reader (of the message) starts a tor hidden service and sends the onion address to the writer. When the writer wants to, he connects to the reader, both authenticate using
their private keys and set up a session key. They now have a secure channel, independent of the site. In fact, when the site gets censored, this channel remains.

I wrote a lot about it this on my site: https://eccentric-authentication.nl/
I honestly got absolutely none of that sentiment reading their press release - it reads just like "Twitter is opening a new office in Mexico to specifically support spanish language speakers - we chose Mexico as it has recently been appointed as the lead on the central american economic council..."

I think you're reading too much into Africa when a much simpler explanation is that Ghana isn't a country you can paint as "a developing African nation" - it's a stable country[1] with a rapidly growing middle class and low CoL.

Post soviet collapse eastern europe had a lot of highly trained folks and extremely low CoL so Microsoft and other folks moved into that area aggressively - Ghana looks like it's the next good market to go into aggressively.
Hm? That paragraph is accurate. When you're free to work flat-out – as hard as you can, as much as you want – you can make a lot more progress than if you were paid to do the same thing for someone else.

36x may not be the exact multiple, but it's correct within a power of two.
The point is, if the resulting prime number is large enough to be in the very public "list of N largest known primes", how do you keep it out of that list, exactly?

But also, as pointed out elsewhere in this thread, your hypothetical is more or less what happened with the DeCSS primes Phil Carmody published. Except it never even got to a judge.
The deposition is the claim. They were discussing men Guiffre had been trafficked to. You're deliberately ignoring that.

Apollo 8 technically is significantly simpler than Apollo 11. Many Apollo 8 results could perhaps be achieved by USSR with two launches of Proton. They can argue if that high orbit - 400,000 km apogee - and entering Moon orbit is that much of a qualitative step. In a sense, getting to orbit is already venturing outward, and Apollo 8 is venturing somewhat furter - not clear to me how much is it of a difference.
Yes, and: Migrating operations to immature jurisdictions more willing to eat the externalities.
Very interesting, I'll give it a try!

Having more options is better than having less, so I don't see supplements ever going away - if anything, I believe they will grow in places where they are not as big yet (say, EU) and where there is no competition (so not in Asia due to TCM)
That doesn't stop cryptocoins from being the currency of choice for criminals that need completely anonymous digital transactions, which is why they are the standard for the online black market and for ransomware. It's hard to argue of the advantages of cryptocoins while in the same breathe arguing that cash is better for crime.

The bigger issue is that very few people want to hold onto cryptocoins if their goal is to spend the money. You can't really buy much directly with cryptocoins in comparison to cash which is universal. I can't use it at Walmart, I can't use it at McDonalds, I can't use it to buy a house, I can't use it damn near anywhere. The only way I can use it is through a scheme that converts it to cash first. No criminal wants to add that papertrail step to their operations.
You don't have to use Steam. I just use it as a one-stop shop for updates and launching. Some games work in native Linux and most of the rest work fine in plain Wine.

If you don't like Steam as a launcher then there's also Lutris and GOG.
>Incorporate yourself and have your salary be paid as management fees to the corporation

This is harder than you think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil

>Declare those fees as a capital gain and pay 15% tax.

That's tricky. You can't just take money out of the corporation's coffers and say it was capital gains. You'd need to sell off your shares or something. Otherwise it's a dividend and is taxed as income.

>Or, have the corporation housed in a tax haven, pay almost nothing in taxes.

You still need to repatriate it back to your personal account somehow.

>Setup a foundation, use that foundation to employ friends or relatives (like say, your wife).

...which they're promptly taxed on. Actually you don't even need a foundation, you can just employ them at the corporation from earlier.
> and his (lack of) understanding of the modern computing environment

How can you look at the "modern web" and claim that? It looks like he understands it perfectly well, even back in the day, but what can he do other than say it's not good for user freedom when faced with user-hostile corporations with literal billions at their disposal?

> refusing to use normal web browsers and insisting on having web pages e-mailed to him

That's silly. His workflow is obviously email based, which, given that he travels a lot and stays in places with possibly less than stellar connection, is perfectly practical. Get all your work on your device when you have a connection and work through them in batches until the next good connection.
Wikipedia lists a couple more Islamic terrorism incidents:

* Fort Hood shootings

* 2009 SUV attack at UNC

* 2015 Chattanooga shooting

The DC sniper attacks might also qualify as Islamic terrorism. The perpetrators were Islamic, and their goal was terrorism, but it's not clear that the terrorism was actually perpetrated to further Islamism.
I never said all-in Tether.
Also you cant "cash out" a billion dollar of anything. Its completely absurd, no one has a bank account with a billion dollar on it. It also make zero sense to ever do that. Its completely irrelevant if that is or isn't possible with coin XY if there is nothing you could move it into.
The only reason someone would cash out a billion is if he wants to invest it into something. What could this possibly be that requires a instant investment of the whole billion?
You guys need a reality check. No one ever buys something with 1 billion at once. There are multi-billion contracts but they aren't settled at once.

You could probably sell one billion in Tether over the course of a few month just fine. Simply stop selling if the price goes below 1 USD and use all large exchanges parallel.
It has several billion fake volume so even if real volume is 100 times lower it should suck up an additional billion. Assuming real volume is 100 times lower and you sell over the course of 100 days you would only cause less then 1% of the volume.
This x 1000...the metaverse will be built on WASM, WebGPU, WebXR, and IPFS. Also an ingenius way to disrupt Apple's walled garden and empower developers and consumers to a new era of seamless, universal application distribution and discovery on the web. My team is working on this btw :D
Yeah that is an interesting gamble on the part of Micron (not a bad one at this point). In they are betting xpoint will not deliver the price points needed to compete with DRAM, might as well put a node in the same place with similar latency as xpoint. Intel and Micron were seeing xpoint as a layer in memory. With DRAM being a L4 cache to the data (or some mix). The problem is keeping xpoint prices bellow DRAM yet high enough to keep the thing profitable. Fiberoptic links between the two nodes at this point would probably really complicate things (at this point) as the tech just is not there yet. But if they can get it to work the latency should overcome some of the issues of a secondary node holding shared memory.

All of that because Intel is having trouble moving to 11nm. All of their features were tied to that node process (tick tock). It is why we are seeing Intel back features from the 11nm node back up to 14. As their competitors are not sitting on 2017 tech and milking it. They are moving to the new stuff. xPoint was interesting 5 years ago. When they could make a 128GB stick for half the price of DRAM one. But they did not have the pins on the chip to support the larger workloads. DRAM caught up in size to overcome it. They have them now. But now that config is not as interesting.
People realize that without the Amazon there, Brazil becomes a desert, right? The rain doesn't just happen. The rainforest causes the rain. So then Brazil and her neighbors get to enjoy drought, crop failures, and famine, all because Brazil was more focused on cattle ranching than managing a vital ecological resource.

Not quite. CSCS supercomputing center in Switzerland have already started receiving the hardware (https://www.cscs.ch/science/computer-science-hpc/2021/cscs-d...). Perhaps, we may see some benchmarks. To wider HPC users, it will be only available in 2023 as the article mentioned.
The problem I think is that at a certain point, it stops being an engineering problem and starts becoming an organization/communication/coordination problem. You could have all the best engineers but if they’re not coordinated correctly, it still becomes a mess.

And that’s ignoring the problem that messes are inevitable, because programs must eventually deal with the real world, and the real world is a shitshow. Changing requirements, abominable external interfaces, business logic generally, etc.

The main draw for unnecessarily messy codebase however is putting novices in charge, but you don’t need to overpay to avoid this (and you don’t really need the best of the best) — you need better selection practices, and I’m not sure anyone’s ever found a good way to select new resources (hiring interviews have at best a very spotty record, and a very shallow filter)
As well as an interesting outcome, the fact you can host data collection/cron and visualisation in a single notebook is pretty bonkers too

I think Apple did Arm an unbelievable favor by absolutely trouncing all CPU competitors with the M1. By being so fast, Apple's chip attracts many new languages and compiler backends to Arm that want a piece of that sweet performance pie. Which means that other vendors will want to have arm offerings, and not, e.g. RISCv5.

I have no idea what Apple's plans for the M1 chip are, but if they had manufacturing capacity, they could put oodles of these chips into datacenters and workstations the world over and basically eat the x86 high-performance market. The fact that the chip uses so little power (15W) means they can absolutely cram them into servers where CPUs can easily consume 180W. That means 10x the number of chips for the same power, and not all concentrated in one spot. A lot of very interesting server designs are now possible.
It's happened to greater or lesser degrees with a lot of events. The Head of the Charles (big rowing event in Cambridge MA) is still fairly casual with people watching from bridges and along the rivers. But it's commercialized a lot in the past 20 or 25 years.

There are now a ton of sponsor booths on the Cambridge side of the river. And rather than groups from colleges setting up wherever, they're now in a big roped off area on the Boston side.
Yep.

Also, "just give it as much resources as it needs, we're rich" was a game google had already proved willing to win with gmail.

It's easy to lay the tactic out in retrospect. Fund "resource hogs" that users don't pay for. Bet on long term bandwidth costs going down. Bet on major consumer monopolies being valuable, long term. Sounds great and it was great.

OTOH, lets pour $mns into a "business" that we bought for $bns, that has no revenue... because in 15 years we will be worth $trns and it will all sound like peanuts... this was once considered imprudent business planning. Google were willing to do it. Others weren't. Only a few even could.

You don't have to "rely" on it just like you don't have the rely on `fmt.Println()` in golang for debugging.

A language/runtime/framework gives you options and you pick your poison, browsers offer you step by step debuggers and REPL out of the box and I actually think it's awesome in terms of debugging, you can of course only use console.log(), and it's a good place to start. When you're ready to move on there are many more useful tabs in the browser devtools to debug with.

- oracles for blockchain -

Blockchains are secure systems because they're isolated systems. But smart contracts aren't very exciting without data from the real world. Oracles are the bridges to supply data from the real world to the blockchain world.

However, a system is only as strong as its weakest link. You'd want the same security guarantees as what blockchain can provide. So the blockchain needs to "trust" oracles to deliver the correct data that's immune to manipulations.

With the rise of smart contracts and full automations, I think oracles will play a huge role in all of this.

The leading project that's working on this is Chainlink.
Pretty much all reporting has bias. As they say, they're at least being honest with you. You can't avoid it, because people are inherently biased. They can strive to remove it from the writing, but that doesn't mean they succeed.
I believe that is exact where the value of bitcoin is: because any nations will not giving up their own currency. Bitcoin is anti-establishment. Of course, the real test will only happen when some country start banning bitcoin. No one knows what's going to happen.
