Your comment is in the surface a rebuttal of the proposal but it really does not address international criminal law (ICL). ICL is also the result of a treaty between sovereign States that agree to criminalize certain behaviors by individuals and, in the case of the International Criminal Court, agree than an international tribunal will prosecute those crimes when national authorities were unable or unwilling to do so.
This complementarity aspect has led to the widespread national criminalization of international crimes and thousands of prosecutions against war criminals or perpetrators of crimes against humanity. Arguably, it has shown effective.

But ICL goes beyond the Rome Statute and includes e.g. treaties on terrorism or piracy that include "prosecute or extradite" clauses.
Sure - competition can result in higher prices and/or lower quality especially when it isn't properly regulated.

One reason for this is that people make choices to beat their competition rather than to provide for their customers. Often short term thinking leads to quality losses in order to capture market share and sometimes the competition devolves into direct sabotage of competitors. This intense competition can result in higher costs for consumers as it becomes more difficult to bring products to market.

Even without that, you can have price competition which, while theoretically leading to a low cost for consumer in the short term, can price out high quality goods in a price conscious market.

Flooding the market with cheap, low quality goods can lead to overall quality drop and a decrease in investment in the area. Even though consumers prioritize cost over quality when given the option in some markets, it doesn't necessarily mean they are making the correct decision.
The UN is a proto-world government but there is no “UN force”, only member states who agree to provide forces (and are free to withdrawal at any time as we saw in Rwanda when the genocide kicked off). So in essence it’s not World government but rather a collection of member states who sometimes collaborate under the UN banner (with enhanced legitimacy) to do what states do anyways - use force against other states to get their way. And if you notice, the superpowers often use it that way - vetoing things they disagree with (usually in a self-serving way), abstaining for things they are neutral about and wholehearted backing strategically advantageous UN missions.

It’s a big reason why the UN just isn’t that effective.

Some reasons that I don't think have been covered yet:

- experienced programmers are promoted out of the tech track - it causes all sort of problems, people keep reinventing the wheel, they are forced to relearn through their own mistakes, transfer of knowledge and skills is hampered

- (probably as a consequence of the first point) people with 3 years of experience are believed to be senior programmers

- worse even - experienced programmers are promoted to non-coding roles aka architects. Over time they increasingly disconnect from the tangible artifact (code) while still hanging onto a false belief that they can function just fine by embracing it through a metaphor (diagrams, etc.) ("Simulacra and simulation"?.. but possibly I'm digressing)
I appreciate the response but we may disagree as to what is the summary / "long story short".

My "long story short" question is: over time, has Bitcoin effective energy per transaction gone up or down?

Not theory, not what nebulous public policy changes should happen to justify the energy mix, not what we think may might need to happen et cetera et cetera.

Is the energy cost per transaction in real world for bitcoin going up or down? (in principle calculated by "energy used for bitcoin system in total divided by number of transactions executed per some unit of time").

Everything else is trying to muddy it up from my personal perspective.

The holographic principle arises basically from two facts:

* The AdS/CFT correspondence, which states briefly that a universe having properties our universe doesn't have is mathematically equivalent do a different universe with one fewer dimension and different properties our universe also doesn't have. This is the most celebrated result in string theory, by the way.

* The entropy of a black hole is proportional to its surface area, not its volume.

From these two results, one can speculatively extrapolate that the information density of the universe uses one fewer than dimension than the actual interaction volume we experience, and this extrapolation is the holographic principle.

The popularity of Substack shows that people don't care about those "valuable brands" though, they care about good content. NYT and friends eroded what integrity their brands had in the past decade by chasing the clickbait dragon.

I was actually under the impression that this is because Apple actually cares about privacy (unlike the other two) and so is not hoovering up everything you say to it and sending it to the cloud, but rather trying to do as much inference as possible on your device.
Why the Times is freaking out about Substack is that they believe, probably correctly, that there are limited funds being spent by a finite number of people on news and information sources, so people paying Substack for access to a given mailing list means less money spent on, for example, the Times.

fuel and battery technology has improved significantly over the last decade, with little or no political pressure, and shows signs that it will continue to improve. I expect that it would have improved more quickly with political pressure, yes

The price reductions in all rare-earth based technologies come from governments and consumers alike turning a blind eye to the means with which they are extracted. Any political pressure to make those processes more environmentally friendly or less, umm, slavey, will make them more expensive.
The person who wrote the comment I replied to? I don't think so, they just copy'n'pasted and linked to a page written by a GrapheneOS dev. However, I have some history of communication with GOS devs on Twitter trying to correct their mistakes and they always confidently repeat their misconceptions despite of clearly not knowing what they're talking about and it ends up with "I'm not lying, you're lying" and me getting blocked, so...

(granted, I'm probably not the best in non-violent communication, but they could at least try to do some research anyway ;))
Yes its fixed now, but the perl6 debacle was allowed to persist for years. The damage this naming screwup had on both perl5 and raku is massive.
This is how federalism works. The federal government could step in and force all states to do something, but in many cases allows the states to self-govern.
Huh, this whole situation just reminded me of an Erich Kästner novel I read as a child ("Pünktchen und Anton"). It had interludes between some of the chapters that were written in cursive font, where the author summarizes what just happened and discusses the characters motives, the implications of their actions and sometimes alludes to personal anecdotes.

In the prologue of the book he wrote that the story is about serious topics he would like to get children to think about, and decided to add the notes for some children who aren't exactly great at that thinking part. In hindsight phrased rather directly and condescendingly (I just looked it up to double check), but I think quite fitting to the situation here, seeing the cartoon first and then reading the clarification.

It's IMO very sad if a cartoonist has to explain the rather thin symbolism because enough people "don't get it" and go directly to pointing and screaming "racist bigots".
Here I thought it would be about spotting an Apple Maps horse cart being drawn through the Shire.
IMHO, the Haskell version using mapAccumL[1] is actually quite a nice demonstration of the power of having lots of computational patterns available immediately from the standard library.

The biggest problem in Haskell that a language like JS doesn’t have is the types: you’re converting both the outer type for sections and the inner type for lessons into something else, so in any language with explicit static types you’re going to have the overhead of specifying those, or you have to hack around it a bit as we see here.

However, if you ignore the type boilerplate and the definition of the input data, the substance of the algorithm here would be around the same length as the imperative JS for-of version, particularly with less verbose names for the local variables as idiomatic Haskell tends to use.

With all four types explicitly defined and using another map-accumulate instead of the zipWith so updating the lessons with their positions was done similarly to updating the sections, I think it could be quite readable as well, even with Haskell’s limited support for record types.

[Edit: Having actually tried this now, even with DuplicateRecordFields, my Haskell code still seems unnecessarily verbose because of the record manipulations, but I still quite like the use of mapAccumL for making the pattern of computation explicit.]

Eh. Perl 7 is coming out, and the list of differences with Perl 5 fits in a small blog post [0]. I get that everyone got spooked by Perl 6 becoming Raku, but this is a very narrow change for a new major version. The whole point of bumping to a new major version is that you can make backward-incompatible changes. But when the new version is just a new collection of defaults seems really silly to me. Why not just add a "use new_defaults;" pragma or something that just turns on this handful of new options?

To add to this, when I was trying out CFP, I found it annoying that there was no explicit "build" button. I changed the default branch that I wanted CF to build from, but it didn't automatically make a new build. And there was no button I could click (like there is on Netlify) to say "rebuild now".
This makes me both anxious if those independent journalists will be able to keep high quality. Sure, they can do opinions, but if there's a big event, NYT gets a pass - will they? NYT has resources they can move around, independents don't.

On the other hand being able to subscribe to specific quality writers and not sponsor the package deal with crap included (reminds me of cable packages) feels great.
It's mainstream because it's owned by wealthy people who can maintain circulation even if it is losing money, and because those people are willing to float administration and intelligence narratives uncritically and anonymously.

I straight up blame Creative. They stagnated any innovators/challengers back in the sound card era, set the outline of how game audio apis work, then became irrelevant. Aureal was shipping technology superior to what we have today 25 years ago. It'd be trivial to do what they were doing in software today. I really wish someone like MS would step up here and show some leadership by just shipping a spatial audio API in directx that's closer to what's actually possible.
Nuance has grown through acquisitions. They basically bought up technologies and slapped a common name on them. But each one retained its one oddities. So you configure one product with INI-style files, another one with XML files, a module within that one is configured with text files using configuration codes... it's a royal pain in the behind.

Hopefully Microsoft will eventually unify these apis and configurations into something coherent.

Substack is currently awesome but it isn't going to be able to pay for journalism on any significant scale, as you mentioned. Journalism needs to be paid for by philanthropy. Absolute independence from market forces and political pressures. There are enough billionaires that could fund endless journalism off a fraction of their interest earnings.

I think it's reasonable to debate the language aspect (that's why my original comment focused on religion, which at least appears to be more homogenous in surveys).

Apparently ~1/2 of Iranian citizens claim Farsi as their mother tongue, with many citizens claiming Turkic dialects, Kurdish, and "Linguistically-Iranian languages" that are not Farsi (in my mind, this is comparable to Gaeilge, Scots, Welsh within the UK).

Then again, I'm sure that identifying as an atheist or non-Shia Muslim in Iran is not in most citizens' best interests, regardless of their underlying beliefs.

I don't have a point or conclusion, I do think it's a reasonable thing to discuss. Ultimately, "nation" is an human construct, the and the people who have the authority to claim it are the Iranian people.

The Kurds (who compose a significant minority within Iran) would reject the nationalities "Iranian" or "Persian", I think; even more so than Catalans, Basque, or Galcian peoples would reject "Spanish". I don't know if other minorities comprising Iran would, too. It's an interesting question to ponder, though.

Anyways, thank you all for this pedantic stroll, it made me learn more about this part of the world than I probably would have, otherwise. :P

What makes a smartphone a smartphone is the ability to use it with just the touchscreen. A smartphone with desktop peripherals is just that, a desktop.

In late stage projects there's often a cabal of passive aggressive people in charge who basically use management tactics to stay in power.

One of the tactics is to never directly respond to actual issues and ignore everything that the cabal cannot be bothered with.

Which is what incites anger in honest people in the first place and leaves them vulnerable to being cancelled.

I don't if this is the case here, but this is the reality in other projects. Whether cabal members are the actual top contributors or have any valuable ideas is left as an exercise to the reader.

A PooC seems a reasonable moniker, but the sole reason it didn't proceed to anything more practical was the lack of government funding. Big Space had become so dependent on gov contracts that they couldn't envisage doing anything on their own initiative: that was the true innovation of SpaceX, not landing rockets.
