Crypto support is quite fickle. I didn't even go near the withdrawal aspect, but withdrawing anything more than ~5 BTC worth of currency from an exchange will take at least several business days to get verified, and depending on the exchange you use might takes weeks or possibly you'll never see your money again (there are several stories of less reputable exchanges freezing accounts for "fraud" when they attempt a large withdrawal).

In principal I do agree with what you're saying, but crypto is still very much the wild west at the moment, so I personally would not be trying to shift millions of dollars around on such short time frames.
Black swan events like that would effect everything. I imagine bitcoin succeeding is no less likely than any other culturally dependent phenomenon, seeing how much utility and incentive for adoption it provides.
> Anxiety Is in Your Body, Not Your Mind

Yes, and, your mind is in your body, not just your brain.

That's why human consciousness is different to any common conception of computer consciousness. The difference between computers and humans is that human thoughts are driven by the needs of the body - to respirate, to eat, to defecate, to reproduce, to sleep, and to avoid being predated.
> 1. Mechanical hard drives. These have become a bit more niche

No, they're still pretty mainstream. When someone runs out of disk space (e.g. with media files), they tend to buy a large HDD (whether external or internal), not a second SSD.

So, your point about HDDs is even stronger, and the author's son will definitely get one.

I don't really see this being possible at the time, the required power from such a small motor just wouldn't be available. It's alleged the motor was hidden inside a frame tube leading it to be maybe 30mm OD max.

None of the inputs to the BS model are forecasts, except the volatility. What the BS model allows, then, is trading this volatility. (Just as other financial products require other inputs, and thus make them, in a sense, tradable: Cross currency swaps make the cross currency basis tradable, credit default swaps make credit risk tradable, trading index vol versus single stock vol makes correlation tradable, etc.)
Your monthly HackerNews reminder that machine epsilon is a thing.
You’re 100% correct. Which is also why I found the article thought provoking!

Blockchain isn’t magic. It can’t do very much “new”. But if it can take something old (contract) and make that more accessible to more potential contract buyers/sellers, then that’s actually interesting.

Technology that makes slow complicated things fast and easy can have a lot of impact.

I won’t be selling shares of myself nor buying shares of others. But this we’re close to the point where blockchain actually provides real value beyond tulip speculation.
I think the advice of focusing on how to turn anxiety symptoms down and moderate physical responses are fine, but it's kind of missing the point, at least for serious cases of anxiety. I suffered pretty badly from it in my early 20s (apparently typical age for this kind of stuff), and you go very quickly from particular anxiety attacks being the issue, to fear of anxiety itself being the bigger issue.

An anxiety/panic attack is physically scary the very first time, but by the tenth time what you're really afraid of is the loss of control and the anticipation of anxiety. Chronic sleeplessness is often the same way. Dealing with literally sleeping better is one thing, but at some point the real issue becomes the mental concern with sleep itself.

Dealing with physical anxiety symptoms is good, but if you're mentally anxious your first thought after dealing with an anxiety attack by breathing deeply is "okay, but what if it doesn't work the next time?". It's that mental attitude that I think many people have trouble dealing with.

That's because JPA isn't involved here. It's directly using hibernate api's and not sticking to the standard which is what I was talking about.
Interesting. I've been reaching a similar conclusion recently.
Taking the names/policies/abuses of given countries out of the equation I would hardly consider it "threatening each other" where:

Country 1: Has actually threatened multiple times of wiping Country 2 off the map, all the while developing advanced military capabilities and sometimes unveiling them with writings on them of wiping Country 1 off.

Country 2: Has been threatening (and delivering) consequences to Country 1 over nuclear research and other offensive activities they have undertaken.
> A BTC transaction is currently estimated to take 821 kWh. That's ridiculous.

It is huge, I agree. But ridiculous in comparison to what? How much energy/CO2 does the traditional financial system consume/produce (incl. buildings, production, transport, security)?

>> BCH is a scam.

> I don't care about any of that, actually. I'm mercilessly meritocratic in this regard, and in my case, merit == processing transactions at a low cost. My interest in crypto is extremely minor.

If you don't care about the details and your interest in crypto is extremely minor it is super risky to put any money in an altcoin like BCH or to advertise it without a disclaimer.

You are more likely to lose value because

- a) it has low security (a collusion of only 0.5% of Bitcoin miners can perform a 51% attack on BCH)
- b) the community and their 'leaders' continuously lie and mislead the public about BCHs performance, adoption and scalability (e.g. unlimited transactions without degraded decentralization)
- c) the coin and the community splits regularly because of power grabs
- d) the market's expected value of BCH drops continuously (because of the points mentioned before)

The merit you are looking for, "processing many transactions at low cost" is currently not achievable without sacrifices. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
For anyone interested in this, I highly recommend the book The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, a psychiatrist who studies PTSD.

He writes about this clearly and elegantly—must read for those dealing with anxiety, and certainly with any traumatic stress.
Do you think any country would just allow foreign inspectors unfettered access to all of their most restricted sites, a lot of them with a military function?

Heck, the US doesn't even allow ICC inspectors into the country to interview possible witnesses to war crimes [0] or UN inspectors into domestic prisons [1]. Do you think the US would let any supranational organization just freely tour its military bases and nuclear facilities?

Yet when Iran wants that same respect for it's sovereignty, then that's somehow made out as some kind of evidence for their allegedly evil and sinister intentions.

> Most of the predictions on that list were outright silly. Anyone who thought 3DTV was anything more than a fad is delusional, a better prediction would have been that his son would never have to experience 3DTV.

That seems a bit harsh, considering that the 3D versions of major blockbuster movies do well in theaters. It doesn't seem unreasonable to expect that quite a few people would want to be able to get the 3D versions of those movies for home viewing.

A 3D TV is not much different from a 2D TV. Doesn't it mainly just need a higher refresh rate, and for some 3D technologies a higher vertical resolution? The higher end TVs from most manufacturers already often have twice the refresh rate of mid end TVs, and higher resolution (e.g., there are 8K TVs out now, even though most programming is 4K or less).

I'd have expected TV makers to continue offering 3D, but only on their high end models. It wouldn't really cost them much, and it would get those people that watch 3D movies in theaters and want the same version at home to buy a higher end TV than they would otherwise need.

A long time ago I read about a study which examined people’s physiological reactions to riding a rollercoaster. They compared coaster lovers to mildly-phobics. Their conclusion was the two groups experienced the same physiological reactions. What differed was their mental state, how they contextualized the event.

If that study was accurate (and god knows whether it was), then I would conclude that anxiety isn’t strictly “in the body.” It’s more like a feedback loop with the mental state.
Yes, because that's how to transmit electricity.
Sprawl is an environmental disaster. On top of land-use changes, it also causes longer commutes, both of which produce more CO2 than upzoning and densifying city centers. Unfortunately, it's in most property owners' best financial interests to rent-seek by blocking any new development, especially considering Texas passed our own version of California's disastrous Proposition 13 in the last legislative session.

Bill Hwang Had $20B, Then Lost It All in Two Days
Same. Over the last ten years I keep hearing about how it was going to be the next satellite tech hub, particularly with Tesla building the Gigafactory 30 minutes away. I think Apple and some other tech built small offices / datacenters there but not much else.

On a different note, I'm up there to visit family frequently, and despite being proximate to incredible beauty (Tahoe, Truckee, skiing, etc.), Reno itself is pretty Wal-Mart suburban hellscape. There are some nicer pockets but overall very meh. Reno was hit VERY hard after the Recession and there were a lot of empty business fronts downtown for a few years; it has cleaned up and brought some new blood but it still has a way to go.

The casinos are still ever-present. Some are charming but others and are still pretty gross, gaudy, and old-school, in a bad way.

All that being said, I think Reno still has a lot of opportunity. The city owns the hot and cold seasons well. The downtown area and the river could be very cool. I'm also surprised some tech-social-gaming startup hasn't attempted to reinvigorate the gambling world to take on the absolute relics that are the casino industry. PM me if you'd be into that sort of thing.
Indeed, but we don't know what those goods and services would consist of in the absence of the legacy financial system.

> It is a naive take that does not allow space for discussing how to predict, detect and avoid those unintended consequences.

(I think you might want to reconsider using "naive", it's belittling and RealStorm of r/iamverysmart.)

Its not about the misuse of technology, it gets created without a Hobbesian leviathan, there is no universal overseer that knows when something is invented and can therefore pull the breaks on whether progress should be stopped. Nor can the invention of said technologies' uses be predicted, especially when it comes to fundamental research.

An example: Maxwell created his famous equations in 1860, they would become foundational in enabling radio broadcasting in 1890. Radio in and of itself has enabled all kinds of amazing communications breakthroughs to make humanity richer. But it also enabled true modern warfare as it expanded the capability of nations to orchestrate massive military engagements across multiple theatres.

Should we have stopped Hertz and Marconi? Where would this debate be held? Who enforces the outcomes of these debates in the modern geopolitical space we live in today? There's a simple practical problem with the whole situation.

Once the genie is out, it's unstoppable - see nukes, once the US used one, the race was on to invent it independently.

Perhaps your issue is down to me using "misuse" as that implies a correct one exists. Let's just say that a "correct" one (or many) exists in the eyes of the original inventor or creator. It takes the imagination and motivations of others to re-apply that knowledge.

One could go so far to say that all technology in and of itself is dangerous.

> I just realized that there was nothing I could really do about anxiety or the physical symptoms that came along with it. I decided to mostly try to quit noticing and thinking about it. And that really helped.

Tritium isn’t in normal water at any appreciable quantities, your probably thinking of Deuterium.

Tritium’s has a half life is only 12.32 years and is very light weight making it surprisingly deadly per kg. Releasing this quantity sufficiently far off shore is a minimal health hazard, but the stuff is a serious health hazard that needs to be handled appropriately.

That said, it’s also worth 30,000$/gram so it’s generally only a problem at very low concentrations.

Deary me. There is literally not one mention of any concrete product development or launch that I can see in that post.

This reinforces my view that Mozilla doesn't really see itself as an actual product company. It seems to see itself as some sort of quasi NGO focussed on the internet. Which is sort of fine, but I feel they would influence much more of the web with better more popular products rather than policy discussions.

Firefox is so unpopular these days it seems that I am genuinely surprised when I see someone using it. it's sort of like when Firefox first came out and you'd spot someone else using it, but in reverse.
Sure, Central American aboriginals did, but essentially none of the north American aboriginals (i.e. Cree, specific to the article) did.
That's my thought as well. But I'd be most concerned with the complex calculation that people have to do around mobility, that dilute these subtle price nudges.

There's no apples to apples price comparisons that can be easily made, where say car vs plane is say 30 vs 42 euro, and this 12 euro tax clearly doubles the price difference. Car trips are typically priced as a per-trip cost that only counts fuel and sometimes parking, whereas air tickets essentially include everything from airport to airport.

But what's left out for the car trip is the cost of ownership (depreciation/maintenance), taxes, insurance. It can't be compared to a flight ticket very easily for most people unless they make a quick Excel sheet and plug in some numbers. And even if you include all those other costs of ownership, how much can be attributed to that single trip by car to replace that flight, if the car is used for other trips, too?

The same calculus goes for time as it does for price. An airport to airport travel time cannot be directly compared to a door-to-door car trip. You'd have to include trips from and to the airports as well as the boarding/security/checkin stuff, as well as a safety buffer not needed for car trips.

Not to mention the experience differences, which are difficult to value. Should a plane ticket be compared to a taxi, because it includes the price of the chauffeur in both cases? Obviously not, yet we also can't just ignore the cost of having to drive concentrated for hours yourself versus sitting in a plane.

In short, while raising the price by 12 euro tax of course does have an impact, but it may not get the impact an economist or policy-maker would expect. It may just go into a very muddy calculated comparison between car/plane (or otherwise).

Second, the tax shouldn't even be such a granular thing. Domestic flights have far greater greenhouse gas emissions than bus, train or car travel. If air was say 30% more poluting than a train, then nudges with taxes would help. But if it's the equivalent of 250gr of Co2 per km travelled [0], and the Eurostar train is 6gr and coach is 27gr then banning seems to be the quickest solution. There's good reasons to say that if mobility option A pollutes 40x more than option B, that you ban A instead of trying to nudge consumption via taxes.

I think it depends on what techniques are applied.

There seems to be specialist branches of CBT such as MCBH and ACT which might be better suited to these scenarios.

However, my point is that the article seems to spend more time telling us that CBT doesn't work (without providing much evidence) than why "survival brain" techniques are better.

I haven't learned much from this article other than some people think CBT is not suitable for dealing with anxiety.
