I think that would add a huge amount of instability. Crafting legislation to work with the existing laws to account for n order impacts is already complicated. But under this blanket proposal you would have to understand the current state system plus all the iterations over its lifetime due to the existing laws phasing out and whether or not they will be extended, replaced, or expired. Not to mention, that would likely invalidate a lot of case law if not a straight extension.
yeah and if that doesn't work, you can always go after their family.
I made the same experience. The 'language' of a programming language is a red herring in any case. More of a burden is the relevant documentation and on-line resources, which overwhelmingly are in English.

I also find it frustrating, when comments or variable/function names are in anything but English. KDE, I look at you (even though I can read German just fine)!

Allowing anything but ASCII in a programming language is just inviting disaster. I'm not looking forward to find Chinese characters in source code ...

Perhaps we'll have some day an automated translation tool for source code, much like we have today for code-beutifiers.
I have one too. Is your code open? Ty

You do that by increasing the cost of consumption. Everyone has, even wealthy people, have a price point beyond which something is too expensive for them.

Has it? I'd contest that it's grown at all, let alone exponentially. How would that work? I guess there's an argument to be made that equations beget equations, but it's hard to think of evidence of that.

Gas equations are emergent from statistical mechanics are emergent from quantum mechanics, Optics are emergent from quantum mechanics, gravitation is emergent from relativity. Now sure, relativity is a good deal more complicated than Newtonian mechanics, but saying it makes better predictions does it a disservice. It explains all the normal stuff, and also a bunch of weird stuff, while still being pretty simple and IMO way more elegant than what came before.
Because I worked there and back then, when Google claimed content had been manually reviewed, it had been. It might have been by a low wage worker in India or Brazil and they might have spent 20 seconds on it, but there was a person in the loop.

I'm pretty sure not being a member of the EU, Switzerland will go its own way.
It's been a long long time (if it ever existed) where US prisons gave a crap about rehabilitation. It's always been about punishment first, then keeping society "safe" second. And studies have consistently shown that the death penalty acts as no deterrent to murder; I would suspect the same would show that other crimes are not deterred by the threat of prison. Too many crimes are a result of impulse control failures in individuals.

I'd be curious what you mean by centrally coordinated and not PoS?

There are certain ways that Cardano is not yet fully decentralised to be sure but the network is operating as a proper decentralised PoS network.

The network has been transitioning from Federated nodes to Decentralised nodes (transferring by about 2% every 5 to 10 days) for the past few months. The d parameter (marking the transfer from 100% federated(1.0) to 100% decentralised(0.0)) ticked down to 0 at the end of last month and block production is fully decentralised.

Where it is still centralised:

- Peering between block producing nodes is currently manual however automatic peering will be enabled before the end of the quarter.

- Development is largely controlled by the Cardano Foundation, IOG, and EMURGO. This isn't unusual in the decentralised software space however the plan is to transition to handling development/feature contracts via on-chain voting and treasury disbursement (and this is already being trialled through Project Catalyst as a decentralised accelerator program) within a year or so. All feature integration and HFC event mechanics however are properly decentralised.
Am-I the only one that finds is odd how the British government brags about Alan Turing after what they did to him?

They still aren't decoupled from emissions. IIRC Emissions actually grow faster than GDP, so it's actually worse than a simple coupling: it's a feedback coupling.

All studies that have looked at seeming decoupling of emissions from the economy have found that they decoupling was due to outsourcing the emissions to other countries. Markets cannot solve emissions as long as value is a function of production.

Someone I'm very close to is white. They're legitimately pale. They have blue eyes. But their father was Black, and where they grew up, that made them Black too. As a result, much of their experience was the Black experience, they married a Black partner, had Black kids, have Black grandkids, etc. But they have to tell people they're Black, because their skin and eye color pass them.

This isn't anecdata. This is using one case to show you that race isn't (ahem) black and white, or solely about skin color. It's about culture and experience.

Even the biggest companies like AAPL make up single-digit percentages of large cap ETFs or the S&P 500 index. Even if Coinbase disappeared overnight, it would be lost in the noise of the broader market. Nothing like “nuking grandma’s investments”

Also, there’s a lot of middle ground in the regulatory space before banning Bitcoin outright. The government doesn’t have to make a binary choice between free for alls and outright banning something.
A business can't lock you in a prison cell. I'd argue that the checks and balances at this point are little more than a mirage. Ruling by fiat is becoming more common, accountability less so. Government use of AI is far more menacing to me than a business using it.

Not to even mention the even more useless buzzword application of blockchains to business to pump up stock prices. I'd go as far to say that cryptocurrency is the most "useful" application of blockchain to date. And even then, it appears only truly useful for dark web transactions and pyramid schemes. Why else would we use a wildly fluctuating currency that takes 20 minutes to send a payment?
That would be trivially easy to prove with a simple audit, which they have not done, so the default assumption must be that there is something fishy with them.

Limiting use of AI reduces interest of the public and young researchers and engineers, contributes to brain drain and limits availability of large datasets that are an important asset for AI development.
You do not need to.

Let's assume that the universe operates on one to an infinite number of rules. Could be one, could be 137, could be a Googleplex. Let us imagine that the number of rules when "rolling" a universe is equally distributed.

The question I pose to you is ... where on the that list do you think it would be more fruitful to start? You could throw your hands up and say "Could be anywhere!" but that isn't a great use of your time.

Instead, you posit a single rule, you try it out, and then there's an exception. This rule worked half the time! That is excellent. This is more likely to occur at the lower end of the rules-scale than the upper end of the scale, after all, simply because you have more things to try the more rules you have.

Could be that only a single rule exists, but it is not likely out of infinity, and so you start there because you can find out the exceptions faster than anywhere else.

Then you move on to two rules. Two rules seems to explain quite a lot! But not everything ...

You can witness this in how classical electromagnetism was constructed from first one rule with some exceptions, and then extended. In a similar manner, you can see how we need more sensitive and complex equipment to test for the existence of exceptions, like that muon magnetic moment requiring rather a lot to pick up.

Following this process will lead you to a lower bound on the number of rules, but never an upper bound, because eventually you are deconstructing galaxies to build particle accelerators and experiments take a billion years to run. We'll eventually say "Good enough for 99.9999999999999% of the cases" and leave it at that.
Lethality of weaponry has a significant impact on how battles are fought, where increasing lethality generally means fewer participants and, counterintuitively, fewer deaths: https://acoup.blog/2021/02/26/fireside-friday-february-26-20... is a decent discussion.

There's obviously some lag (the bloodiness of WWI) but overall yes, in a weird way, the Gatling gun and other weapons like it are part of why you're a lot less likely to die as a draftee today than in the Napoleonic era.
Throwing links as an answer (instead of using them as an addendum or because it's a valid source) is considered bad practice in discussion since usually they're not a direct rebuttal to specific points made.

If you were making a detailed argument about the issues with unregulated capitalism, and I would just respond with "Go read some Mises", it's just a lazy cop-out that doesn't address the problems you're presenting and lowers whatever value the comments may have to a reader, even if I had a point or not.
Your use of "pigs" reminds me of: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
The ideal scenario is everyone using monero for everything. Why send money to an exchange at all when we can send monero to each other directly? There should be no need to swap monero for other forms of money.

This is the original cryptocurrency dream. Monero is the only coin that has a shot at actually achieving this.
I don't think it's different based directly on that, but rather based on something which is strongly related to that.

If you're giving a chemotherapy drug to patients with advanced cancer, 1 in 10⁶ is perfectly acceptable. But it's acceptable because the do-nothing course is probably worse. Even serious, chronic pain relief I'd consider 1 in 10⁶ to be a good tradeoff.

With vaccines, you're taking healthy people with no acute condition and exposing them so the do-nothing course is much better than the cancer case.

Those differences of course drive the "do we give it to 3 people or 2 Billion people?" decision, but it's not directly the breadth but the underlying reason for the breadth that make me think differently about the acceptable risk level. If 2 Billion people had cancer or serious, chronic pain, I'd be in favor of giving them a drug which would cure 999,999 of them for every 1 that it killed.

Appealing and not hearing back doesn't mean the original decision was entirely automated, it means they ignore appeals.

> User stories evolved over twenty years ago as a way to communicate what a customer wanted into product requirements that a software team could deliver. Fast forward to today and a lot of things have changed about how we build software. Customers are tech-savvy enough to articulate basic product requirements.

I'm jealous of your customers if that’s true for you. But, IME, not only are customers no better at spontaneously producing requirements than they were 20 years ago, IT organizations—especially ones that have notionally embraced “Agile” methods—are much worse at eliciting requirements, or even understanding what they should look like. It’s like the entire understanding of requirements was the baby thrown out with the bathwater of big upfront design.

And this article on tasks instead of stories is a further step down that path of losing knowledge. Yes, once you have requirements, you need to task out the implementation. But tasks don’t replace description of requirements, whether in the form of stories or any other form.
You don't know whether people want to be challenged or not. Not everyone wants to be challenged at everything. You can be good at something and still both suck and not have any interest in other things. Brilliant programmers might have no idea how to cook anything. Brilliant doctors buy iPhones for the convenience because they have zero mental attention left to focus on things like tinkering with technology even at the slightest. Of course many people don't want to be "challenged" at all, but MOST have something that challenges them constantly, and I would say - a very important aspect you seem to neglect - the majority of people on earth, perhaps even in "developed" nations, have their hands full trying to survive and barely making ends meet, with no energy to spare on other less urgent matters.

From the story. How Adam Draper finally decided to invest $25K in Coinbase's seed round:

“I was on the toilet, where all the greatest epiphanies are had, and I was skimming a magazine that had been next to my toilet,” Draper recalls. “It was Economist magazine. There was an article — it was talking about the bubble bursting of bitcoin.” The October 2011 article began, “BITCOIN, briefly the world's favorite cryptocurrency, is in trouble.”

But Draper came to a very different conclusion, reading the months-old piece that had been gathering dust in his bathroom. “It was honestly a pretty good article,” Draper says. “They thought it was over.” But now many months later, Bitcoin was still going. He thought to himself, “Somebody wants this thing to exist, this Bitcoin thing.”

“I called Brian. I don't think I was still on the toilet — I don't think he cared as much about me being on the toilet. I was like, ‘I’m in.’”
That the authors are more concerned with this or that isn't the point. Mr Stallman is being rejected _pour l'ensemble de son oeuvre_ and his behaviour at MIT is entirely sufficient to shun him.

As I mention many time: I know from direct knowledge that the assumptions that you are making are false or misleading. I’m happy to explain why but I see no value in being told that I’m wrong by someone who has less context than me. I respect you desire to not listen to me. I don’t respect your insistence to tell me that I’m wrong without knowing what I have to say.

I’m just going to correct things that you seem to attribute to me that I have not said:

> against an organization that doesn't seem to be listening to them

Nope, the organisation listens; they listened to me closely. They just learned that very few people outside the organisation do and they try to protect from the frustration of engaging with dishonest people. You certainly do not care to listen, for instance.

> you are never going to convince me while actively using a pseudonym online

I’m using my first name. I’ve used it as my handle in any service that allowed short handles. I’ve never met someone else with it, so I always assumed that it identifies me directly. Facebook the company is not against using pseudonyms: Instagram uses them; WhatsApp has no names.
The mere threat of its awesome killing power made an adversary think twice. In one of the most bizarre episodes Ms. Keller recounts, on July 17, 1863, during the draft riots, the New York Times (which supported conscription) mounted three Gatling guns on the roof of its headquarters, with the editor in chief at the trigger, and successfully cowed an angry mob without firing a single shot.

No, you don't need YouTube. In fact, you almost never need YouTube.

*HOWEVER* YouTube is fast, easy and takes care of pretty much everything for you. This is not to be underestimated.

I agree, and what better way than to impose a tax on consumption after X dollars. Or perhaps even a general luxury tax for goods that aren't absolutely necessary for your welfare.

Still better would be to start taxing natural resource usage, or even setting quotas with strict penalties. But it's hard to see politicians going along with it and I don't know if it can be monitored sensibly.

Jürgen Schmidhuber has become notorious in the deep learning community for his claims that new advances from recent years, such as Generative Adversarial Networks, should be credited to him because of obscure work he published in the 1990s.

At NIPS 2016, Schmidhuber interrupted a widely-attended workshop on GANs given by Ian Goodfellow, to make his argument (see [1] at 1 hour, 2 minutes). The community has generally taken Goodfellow's side. Just because Schmidhuber "had the idea" doesn't mean he should get the credit for other peoples' work decades later.

As any entrepreneur knows, just having an idea isn't enough. You have to put the work in, do the experiments and get results.
