And I did not say "He said she was a willing participant." I think it is fair to say that Stallman believes it should be considered consensual sex as opposed to rape. Based on what he has said, I'm pretty sure that if you went up to Stallman and asked, "Did Minsky rape that kid?" he'd say no.

On top of that, the idea "It is not a violation if I have sex with this child because I believe I have obtained the child's consent" is extremely controversial (to put it mildly), and it seems like it's just assumed to be a reasonable thought process on Minsky's part in Stallman's construction of the situation. Stallman seems to be starting from the premise "Statutory rape is not rape" and arriving at the conclusion "This statutory rape is not rape," and from there he proceeds to berate people for claiming it is.
If you want to quickly log stuff without adding a log statement, you can right click the line gutter in sources and add a logpoint. Similar to a breakpoint, but logs every time it hits that line. Not modifying the source code so you don't have to remember about removing it.
If by inflationary control you mean non limited supply, grin (mimblewimble protocol) has all those attributes.
You're claiming that an entity buying up a ton of Bitcoin would crash the price? Do you have any references? I'm not familiar with that economic phenomenon.

Also like others have said, the price is divisible to many decimal places, and with consensus could be updated to be further subdivided.
> I am more confident that nations which turn their back on it, or shut it out completely, will see a loss of otherwise valuable businesses and mindshare.

This is a very under-appreciated point. US persons (citizens and companies) assume the US banking system for granted. Many countries (even some developed ones) do not have a developed banking sector and by consequence it is harder/expensive to make transactions, access to capital is limited and access to markets can be restricted which limits opportunity.

Crypto-currencies requires significant expertise, much more than the current banking system. Countries who will attract these companies and knowledge will have lots of sway in the international economy in the future.

Genuinely curious why multicursor is a big deal?
Agreed. The manner in which people treat developers is appalling to me, and definitely gives me pause before considering releasing something to the public (if I will be beholden to serve at the whim of a belittling bully / choosing beggar).
ARM is the present, RISC-V is the future and Intel is the past.

The magic of Apple's M1 comes from the engineers who worked on the CPU implementation and the TSMC process.

The architecture has some impact on performance but I think it is simplicity and and ease of implementation that factors most into how well it can perform (as per the RISC idea). In that sense Intel lags for small, fast and efficient processors because their legacy architecture pays a penalty for decoding and translation (into simpler ops) overhead. Eventually designs will abandon ARM for RISC-V for similar reasons as well as financial ones.

Really, today it's a question of who has the best implementation of any given architecture.
ARM Macs: Will Virtualbox be ported?
I spent most of my career is a microarchitect at Intel in the late 80's till mid-90's on 486 & Pentium and then again in the late 2000's on Xeon. So the idea of tinkering with an ISA is something that gives me the cold-sweats today! It's a wee bit more complicated than hacking the RTL/VHDL, but I am not saying curious kids should not have the chance to have a go at it! RISC-V is more akin to if I handed a kid a Boeing 747 and said, hey, go nuts! :)

However, I taught programming in an afterschool program in the mid-80's and the Apple //e had an amazing graphical program that stepped through an assembly program, showing the data moving through the busses from register to memory, etc. And it was instrumental to kids learning. There's a few more wires in a 32-bit RISC compared to an 8-bit 6502, but someone will benefit!

As an end user, I MITM TLS so I can see and, if necessary, modify what is being sent from applications. TLS-enabled servers are bound to the loopback. I must have control over what is being sent. If an application denies the user control over what is sent then I will exercise control outside the application. Applications only communicate with the loopback, not the network.
Considering disposable income; 10% of 100,000€ is alot less, taxes are not noticable for me as a high income earner.

Overly commercialized is a strange way to put it. It's certainly the least commercialized of all the major golf tournaments. Daily tickets are the cheapest at $115. Food is incredibly inexpensive. And you can watch at home for free, with probably the best coverage of any tournament, on their website.
I've grown to dislike the early return pattern. It's pitched as a way to reduce visual complexity by reducing levels of indentation, but I don't actually find that to be a benefit in most cases. Reducing indentation is just a trick to shove more cyclomatic complexity into a function without it triggering your sensibilities to implement proper abstractions.

Cryptocurrency/web3 is at its core just technology. Fundamentally, the technology is still not that far advanced from the early Bitcoin days, but the little that is currently implemented successfully allows for ponzis and gambling. Cryptocurrencies currently trade for over $2 trillion, most of that value may indeed be a net negative for society, but that doesn't say anything about the core technology in itself. If cryptocurrency didn't exist, people would be trading tulip bulbs or pumping stocks like TSLA to $700B (oh wait...).

This may be a relatively lawless environment, but as for its current atmosphere, blame the world's central banks, not the crypto builders who are mostly as disgusted by the current situation as sidelined observers.

Decentralized networks have the potential to resolve many of the issues we techies love to complain about. Only a tiny percentage of that $2 trillion is allocated to teams actually working on solving these issues (Binance and Coinbase definitely aren't a part of it), so please try to reserve your judgment when you see developments coming out of crypto. Most of it is under-developed, over-hyped, and just an extension of the tech-bubble ponzi, but some of it will actually change the world. In the same way Tesla is actually positive to society overall and we shouldn't shun their cars just because the company's stock is a meme used in zero-sum-game gambling.

> If we could simulate and observe what happens with complex chemistry accurately, it would completely change the biology, medicine and materials science.

That's probably far less true than you imagine. See Derek Lowe's take on it: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2021/03/19/ai...

The rate-limiting steps in drug discovery is in figuring out a) what you need to muck up to improve health or b) how to muck it up without mucking up other things badly enough to kill you. Computational chemistry has generally focused more on solving problems c) how to muck up this target more effectively or d) how to make the mucker-upper in the first place, which, while not useless, is not going to be a revolutionary change by any stretch of the imagination.
It sounds also like a win for the French train company “SNCF”.
It's because the bare TLD isn't setup to accept requests, but the `www` subdomain is (it's DNSed to a different IP):

$ curl -v --head https://nushell.sh/
* Trying 162.255.119.254...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connection failed
* connect to 162.255.119.254 port 443 failed: Connection refused

$ curl -v --head https://www.nushell.sh/
* Trying 185.199.108.153...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to www.nushell.sh (185.199.108.153) port 443 (#0)

Most hosts will alias or redirect away the www subdomain, but that's just a convenience. Of course technically foo.com and www.foo.com can have different DNS entries.
Yeah, I dunno what is going on with that, I assumed that had changed if they were going to use the name "grace" for another product.

I guess I'm not sure if "Hopper" refers to the product as a whole (like Tegra) and early leakers misunderstood that, or whether Hopper is the name of the microarchitecture and "Grace" is the product, or if it's changed from Hopper to Grace because they didn't like the name, or what.

Otherwise it's a little awkward to have products named both "grace" and "hopper"...
If you owned all the gold, people would still want to buy gold. If you owned all the Bitcoin, nobody would want to buy Bitcoin. The only value stored is the network of people pumping it, and the only question is how long it’ll take them to move on to the next thing.

>NFTs have an astonishing number of use cases

NFTs are the equivalent of trading cards or video game lootboxes. They enable a form of conspicuous consumption whereby you conjure up value by slapping a digital signature on something and creating artificial scarcity.

From the perspective of the state none of these instruments improve supply chains, enhance military or state capacity, increase productivity or growth. NFTs basically enable the uber wealthy to sell original versions of their artworks or whatever, they have no impact on real world innovation or mass commodity production.
The fucking article even mentions how many trackers are on Gizmodo, and then says "BUT THATS NORMAL ITS ON EVERY SITE YOU GO TO!" The author writes a piece and shits all over Facebook, and then goes on to minimize it when it comes to them doing it.
I’m kinda busy to go all into this, but generally people who went to top schools and raise from top vcs gave very good outcomes. The problem is when you lump in people with bad or mediocre career outcomes who try to start a company. The data is very misleading, getting funding from Andreesen Horowitz leaves a huge chance of success.
> We in the city of miami, we're forced to balance our budget

This is true, but not without some moral hazard. Miami can keep building on land that will be swamp within the lifetime of the building because federal taxpayers and inflation are there to bail them out.

Totally would never happen; it would require too many people to give up too much power. See also Brexit (the UK never fully integrated into the EU over this exact currency control issue).
I have been perfectly happy with ES cloud services. Is this done by honest intentions from AWS or is it simply based on the fact that ES are making a lot of money of the cloud services?
> Mark Zuckerberg will never give up that level of power because either he wields that power or someone else will.

I'm leaning towards this is the most misunderstood aspect of Zuckerberg. The Google founders also lamented how difficult it was to steer morally straight when so many internal company issues arose when the stock price was flat: their most talented employees leaving and morale dropping.
Zuckerberg is a smart cookie and is probably quite aware what's been created with Facebook. But it's absolutely worse under a bean-counter "money at all cost" corporation. Long term, federating and allowing people to retain their social graph across any client platform, breaking up the network effect, seems to be the only way forward.
In South Africa too. They even have two Azure Data Centers, there.
Why is this post so downvoted? It seems that antigovernment sentiment is not popular here

It’s not only that but also all that “crypto is not technologically interesting and it’s just Ponzi scheme!”.

There are so many interesting and unique things there. You can mix cryptography, finance, etc. into endless amount of protocols.

Here is some interesting ideas in crypto: decentralized stable coin (dai), automatic market makers (uniswap), zero knowledge rollups, dns that you actually own and not rent, p2p prediction markets, automatic borrowing, algorithmic stable coins without peg and so on and so forth.

And there is always something new.

I think blockchain is essential building block of the future free web.(at least stuff like dns)
> I think the kind of people who know how to operate in those circles have a skillset that's not taught in a CS/EE curriculum.

They are good.

But not in very cold environments. I have one and when there is more than two degrees of frost it struggles.

So for a lot of continental areas they are almost useless since they do not function when you really need them.

For temperate climates and coastal regions they are wonderful.
Indeed, but the bar for "automating money" in traditional finance is extremely high due to not only legitimate regulatory reasons but also to large banks and institutions trying to preserve their power/dominance.

In DeFi anyone can automate money. For instance, for the past few months I've been building an experimental options exchange [1] in my free time, which would be impractical on traditional finance.

Not even a little bit. Retro gaming emulation accounts for basically zero revenue compared to other markets that Xilinx serves, like HPC, networking, and computer vision.
I generally think of managed services as anything not run directly on EC2.

I agree about permissions. I'm just illustrating where the lock in occurs.
This distinction seems meaningless. At the end of the day, the stockholders own the business. They are paying the salaries of both the CEO and the pallet worker, regardless if it comes in the form of cash or stock.

Also wages don't always come from cashflow. Amazon lost money for its first X years. Salaries and everything else were covered by investor cash.
I tried to see my data... all i gotta say is "WWWWTTTFFF!!!!" <--- who knew all of this existed!
Surprisingly, this makes a lot of sense. It will help protecting the environment tremendously.
I suspect this is mostly AWS trying to stop using "ElasticSearch" in the title of something, probably for trademark reasons.

Time will tell...MongoDB 4.2 APIs are under SSPL

IANAL
I can't edit the comment anymore, but you can find the fork at https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?r=gith...
Doesn't a lot of that hinge on what the "service" is? Like, if I run some generic knowledgebase website and use my own ES installation to provide user-facing search, does Elastic want to see my Ansible scripts? Or just the ones related to the search function?

If this interpretation holds, I feel like it could be a pretty big problem for companies like GitLab, who not only have deep integration with ElasticSearch, but offer it as a premium-tier feature:

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/elasticsearch.html

Maybe this really is just a cash grab from the Elastic side, like, "it's too easy to self-host rather than paying for our SaaS offering, so now you need to pay us for many common self-hosting use cases also."
This look interesting, it took some digging to get to what the actual treatment is, so it gets your body use to the allergen to build up tolerance. What happens when you have multiple pollen allergies, how does it track all of them. Also seems like many pollens will be region specific, different trees, etc.
Neither gold nor bitcoin are particularly good for the purpose you are suggesting -- that's why gold was replaced with fiat currency. Because fiat currency was better. Bitcoin chasing after gold's position is unfortunate because of course, fiat is better than gold.

The characteristics you need for a medium of exchange are:

- fungibility.

- the ability to hold its value for exactly as long as you need to hold onto it. Any longer than that is a non-goal.

- stability/predictibility.

- the ability to adjust to shocks, and a changing population.

- low cost of transactibility.

Scarcity is a non-goal. Clear ownership is a non-goal except in as much as possession is 9/10th of the law.

Basically none of these apply to gold, and basically none of these apply to bitcoin. That's why nobody uses it as such.
Came to post this. been following that issue for 5 years now and still no updates. Maybe if more people star it it'll eventually get some attention :\
https://accept.inc/ converts your mortgage approval into an all-cash offer. (Edit: looks like that's only for Colorado)

The craziness going on right now is due to several factors: (1) all time low supply due to pandemic restrictions/fears; (2) Work from home transforming housing values (single family homes a lot more appealing if you only work from the office occasionally); (3) Millennials aging into the housing market and boomers holding on to their properties (see 1) - also a lot of stock is now owned by investment companies / pension funds past 2008; (4) Housing is the safest way to take a leveraged short on the US dollar (which a lot of people fearing inflation want to do); (5) Capital flight from other countries like China (though that was more of a factor pre-pandemic) - real-estate is the only industry where anti money laundering provisions are severely watered down / non-existent.
Materialize (https://materialize.com/). Although a bit known here, my coworkers never heard about it. I think it's going to be a game changer.
OK, to add my own answer, instead of just commnenting.

Ummm... to start with "what everybody else has already said." If I have anything to add it might be (and somebody might have said this already as well, and I just missed it)

Synthetic Biology - this entire field fascinates me, and I expect big things to come in the future when we can customize DNA and grow items we need, that are tailor made to various parameters. This is also the beginning plot-line to many horror novels and movies though, so "everything isn't rainbows and sunshine" as they say.

Nanotech - related to above, but as with synthetic biology, it fascinates me to think what we can do when we have atomic scale self-assembling machines.

AR/VR - maybe not "under the radar" anymore, but I think there's a ton of untapped potential in this space.

Semantic Web - Yes, I'm still a believer in the idea of RDF / SPARQL / etc. I've said enough about this in the past, so I'm not going to drill any deeper here.

AI - maybe more "AGI" than the ML stuff we have today that gets labeled "AI". And saying that is not an attempt to denigrate ML or any of the radical stuff going today. It's just that for as much as contemporary "AI" can do, I think there's a lot it still can't do, and I like to daydream about the potential of AI's that get closer and closer to (and exceed?) human abilities. See above about horror movie plots though. :-(

Fusion: this has definitely been mentioned already, but add me to the list of people who are hopeful/excited about the prospects.

Time Travel: Actually no. I kinda hope this is impossible. I have a feeling that if unrestricted "Doctor Who" like time travel was possible, causality would collapse and all of reality would just become a big, jumbled mess, incapable of supporting life.
We need to fix how we select our representation.

Winner-take-all elections lead to weak control over who represents your interests. It's like being party to a lawsuit where one attorney represents all parties.

And you can't fire your attorney for four years.

In the single attorney situation, SELECTING the attorney would be the major struggle. And then that attorney has all the power. The parties would then have to lobby the attorney to win the case.

And that's why our elections have become such a struggle and why lobbyists can buy votes.

And that's why Wall street firms can call up their friends and get a multi-billion dollar bailout.
Can you name some use cases that aren’t trading crypto derivatives or crypto debt?

Ethereum is certainly more interesting than Bitcoin but the use cases so far seem to be more speculation.
Even those numbers (10k to 15k nodes and 100k containers) are smaller than what a great Mesos framework was capable of.

Of course, this mattered to only a very small number of organizations.
Probably adds another hour travel time to anyone flying to Paris just to connect to an international flight.

This may be true for the U.S. as a whole, not just Michigan. Despite the increasing number of people being vaccinated, the number of daily Covid cases in the U.S. continues to increase:
