Every so often a moron shows up trying to sell the idea of colored coins... it is almost as if they've never heard of "fungibility".
Bitcoin actually has this "magic" property of being very, very hard to change. It is derived from community extremism against changes and from the huge number of players who would need to agree and then huge number of existing deployments that are very slow to upgrade.

Bitcoin is hard to change the similar way TCP/IP protocol stack is hard to change.
This is essentially what a tumbler does
The real lie is saying that LN transactions are "just Bitcoins".

They are unconfirmed transactions and there are many ways of losing your funds compared to confirmed ones. Such as having your harddrive corrupted and your node trying to propagate an old state.
As long as it's not diverting funds from anything more promising then spend all the money you want I say. Try everything. You may fail more often but you'll find the right answer faster.
Comparing the Coinbase market cap and the total market value of Bitcoin is not comparing apples to apples. Just in the last 24 hours $74B worth of Bitcoin has traded hands. The entire purpose of Coinbase is to facilitate that exchange and take a cut for doing so. If the trade rate doesn't change the entire "market cap" dollar value of bitcoin will trade hands every two weeks. Being responsible for facilitating a sizeable percent of those transactions is pretty awesome and very valuable.

With that said, I think they are overvalued at $100B. Not because of the total market cap size of crypto, but because their revenue doesn't justify a valuation that high.

Standard Chair and Table
Latin-derived language speaker here (Portuguese). Also by studying other languages it turns out that English is quite good at expressing simple and composable symbols and structure.

While i would choose a latin-derived language to write poetry, speech or a novel because the expressivity, at least in those contexts are unparalleled, for clean, honest and even scientific terms, if there's a need for a human language, the english language, at least for me, is what suit those the best.

Apart from that its also a question of chance and historical events..
This sort of tool is great to teach younger kids to program and thinking in programming terms. But just like math, its reduced to a more symbolic level, so the word you are using to define things its not that relevant and giving that property, its a good thing that its more universal, just like in math.
This isn't accurate. All employees, regardless of tenure, got 7 years to exercise their shares that had vested up until that point.
Can someone explain the part about copycats? The way I'm reading it is that the "copycats" forked the repo, and then retained the presentation while changing the content. In other words, it's like writing your own resume using someone else's publicly shared Word template. What am I missing? Why is this wrong?
Ah, right, the less famous brother of Blaise Pascal.
I'll give you a tip which is what got me over my perfectionism as a kid.

Assume your contribution is not going to be perfect and just deliver your mediocre speech. You know you'll deliver a mediocre speech, so if people take it badly, it's to be expected. If people take it well, you'll be positively surprised.

Do it more and more and you'll get better.

Listen to good speeches and learn from them or flat out copy ideas.

This works with (mostly) everything you do.
"I think the tradeoff is that at least the AI discrimination is systemized"

What does systematized mean in this context? The specific problem is that modern deep learning systems are unsystematic - they heuristically determine a result-procedure based on some goodness measure and this result-procedure is a black box.

You already have criteria-based algorithms for things like loans - the individual employees aren't making arbitrary decisions or just pen-and-paper calculations. You have a central algorithm now in a given bank, one that can be looked and understood. The question is whether to go from that to an opaque, "trained" algorithm whose criteria can't analyzed directly.
They have text-to-speech software and speech-to-text software, both of which are open source.

> These entities are "too big to fail". They are so essential to the economy that the best you can hope for from the government is maybe a scapegoat going to a comfortable prison or a hefty fine.

Norway faced a banking crisis in the 90s; to solve it, the government simply invalidated the shares and took control of the bank.[1] The government later reprivatized it - i.e. sold new shares - once it was no longer failing.

That seems a pretty okay approach for entities that are too big to fail: let the shareholders, not the public, pay the price of failure.

(You need a sufficiently strong government to do it, obviously.)

> C++ is not just a low level language

A language either cares about low level details or not. You can’t have it both ways. And c++ is absolutely a low level language.

> I don't know any complex C++ program that employ their own GCs when C++ has RAII which is superior to GC.

RAII is not at all a replacement for GC. It is only suitable for a subset of object lifetimes. There are plenty of cases where you can’t really pinpoint a scope-exit where this given object should be reclaimed.

A GC is a necessity in many concurrent algorithms that simply could not be written without.

> Just give a try for C++11/14/17

I have and I like it. There are domains where I would not even start writing Java, and vice versa with C++.

Your CRUD app may have been a breeze but what if the requirement has changed now touching on a core of your program. You have to refactor and it will be really expensive, compared to a high level language. Every memory allocation/deallocation have to be thought out again and tested (and while rust can warn about it, you still have to write a major refactor as it is another low level lang)
Oh, I think he was popular in his own right. I do maintain a large part of his popularity and success in both elections (yes, even 2020 where he lost) was about rejection of the establishment in general, which yes, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton both represented.

Yep. It seems crazy - if you take all the stock market brokers and exchanges and compare it to the full stock market, their value is only a tiny part.

No, unfortunately not! I am reading The Vital Question by Nick Lane, and he tells about the cell size in that book.

> By and large, this is true in Venezuela. Expats use bitcoin to send remittances back home, where locals convert it to bolivars to buy food and pay bills. With crypto remittances from expats plunging, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions within the country have proven resilient. LocalBitcoins and Paxful trades using bolivars peaked in the first half of 2019, and have since hovered around $20 million.

> “People living in Venezuela are living under a very unstable and predatory government. They suffer from extreme inflation and general economic instability. And here’s a censorship-resistant, inflation-proof asset, so it’s very attractive to people who are looking for a way to maintain value,” said Andrea O’Sullivan, director of tech and innovation at James Madison Institute, a Washington think tank.

Why Modern Work Makes Us Miserable
With lots of swearing, at least in my experience when we did the same upgrade as you. I too am hoping this will be smoother in future and the changes stabilise. I guess if you're doing very simple stuff then it's not an issue but the larger the estate and 'custom' stuff that gets added the more difficult any upgrade becomes (tf or not)
When it comes to drone surveillance, I have to admit I don't really worry much about an obvious, can't-miss-it, machine on the ground. It's just a continuation of previous robots used in bomb disposal and negotiation, at least until armed.

Something small enough to sneak in somewhere is more of a privacy concern, and those can't be more than a couple decades away.
I feel like I have to sound out things. It's important for me to be able to say "cp that over there" and I actually pronounce it as "copy" or say "ls" as "list".

I think a lot in words and about words. When I'm writing a for loop I usually sound out the whole thing, even if just mentally, "for ecks equals one to ten do" or "for whye in the range". I don't think I'm the only one who does this, so offering pronounceable things to other people in their own language might help.

In general or this shit specifically? I'm not sure why you would need this sort of status for kids.

In general though, well a natural or man made disaster can happen suddenly, and you probably want to know where your kid is then, especially if you are fleeing for your life.

Also, kids get kidnapped. Some kids run away. Also there are bad people in the internet, horrible people that find kids attractive and then groom children or teens.

Having a kid, and I don't myself have one but my sister does, seems to involve a lot of worrying about bad shit happening. Kids don't always make the best decisions on their own. Neither do teens; and if someone is late for curfew, checking the app when they don't answer there phone is better than frantically calling hospitals.
there are certainly some subset of customers who can write effective product requirements for any product, but certainly not all or perhaps even most.

the point of users stories is not to lose sight of the origins of a domain traversal problem (from customer/problem domain to product/solution domain). jumping straight to writing tasks assumes high intimacy with the problem domain and the solution domain, which few people possess. the best product managers have both of those, and still are humble enough to regularly test their assumptions by writing user stories first backed up by quantifiable customer experience.
> Is it even possible to create a robot weeder without AI?

No, if you use the AI communities definition "AI is any mathematical algorithm that makes a decision"

In the normal world -

I want a robot that can mow. Cut everything to the ground. I'll get a 10 year old to program the path for it (Or put in any beacons it wants)

Too expensive.

It's not AI, it's the price of equipment. (At this stage, the AI bit's the easy section)
Our team just did a big effort to get from 11 to 12. After that the effort was quite minimal. Some little gotchas re: providers in 13 but we're just today finished the 14 upgrade and will probably let 15 marinate until we upgrade to that.

The UI design on the OP-1 has to be up there with any number of great moments in industrial design.

The decision to remove the Rhodes piano sample pack from the default firmware, including for anyone who upgraded, has to be up there with one of the worst decisions in product management of all time.

Also, the disparity between models with clickable control knobs and unclickable knobs to this day makes me feel deeply uncomfortable.

May we find it in our hearts to forgive. If it weren’t for their genius we wouldn’t even have noticed these minuscule flaws. Happy Birthday :)
This isn't so far fetched. Cash registers already have Internet connections and can be outfitted with cameras to record all bills going in, except maybe those inserted in a stack. And ATMs might already be recording serial numbers of dispensed bills. Essentially they might/could do with currency what they do with license plates, which is track where everything goes and at what times.

You're speaking of a specific instance and declaring all instances bad. This is unhelpful.

If that specific video exists and if it's common, this conversation could be had; but, it's relatively uncommon, making it a surprise.

The real answer, as someone else has alluded to, is that YouTube is something that parents should watch or be aware of with their children.

There is a great deal of valuable information on YouTube and cancelling it wholesale is absolutely the wrong approach.
Shameless plug for Rhasspy: https://rhasspy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Stephen Wolfram seems to be suffering from a mix of selection bias, confirmation bias and the problem that he overhyped his claims and his self-praise so heavily over the years that there is no way he could ever back down and say that something he invented does not make sense. His only path forward is to stick to what he is claiming, no matter what. And that's a pretty unhealthy place to be in.

And it's also a deeply unscientific place. The option to be wrong and change course is at the heart of true scientific inquiry.
Thank you for providing technical details.
You would need an arbiter, or some system to do the arbitrage, for sure, but it need not be a _centralized_ arbiter. If you kick the can down the road and enough across sufficiently many actors you could get a fair, or, well, at least, predictable, system.

Some sort of voting/staking consensus system might work quite well for this.

Might not sound like a lot, but, IMO, it is.

I think requirements and design documents are necessary for any project of a certain size. In my organization we try to do this for a project that will take a few Sprints. A Sprint is 2 weeks. The requirements and tech design don't have to be perfect, and they can be updated, as time goes on. If updates are signficant, then we point that out, and adjust deadlines.

The nice thing about this is you have a document that describes what we built, and another document which describes how we built it, at the end of the short project. We scope these projects so they can fit into a quarter. If it's longer than quarter, we try to break it down by certain milestones.

I also don't like User Stories, maybe it's just how they are set up in JIRA, but once you have the tech design, it's pretty easy to break it down into tasks. This mostly works for my company.
I agree. I am curious though about how substantial the memory and diffing costs are. I don’t mean that in an I doubt it’s a big deal way, rather I’m genuinely curious and haven’t been able to find any literature on the actual overhead compared to straight up DOM manipulation. I would imagine batching updates to be an advantage of the vdom but only if it’s still that much lighter weight (seeing as you can ignore a ton of stuff from the DOM).

The limits are a convenient way to escape the challenge. By opting out, nobody can ask why European companies don't have state of the art AI technology.

Bitcoin mining uses less energy than video gaming. And because mining can happen anywhere, it tends to use clean energy or energy trapped at power plants that would otherwise go to waste, so it's CO2 footprint is much, much less than video gaming.

One answer is that elementary particles are incredibly small.

Learn/read a lot, take part in as many CTFs as you can... If you're really new to it you may want to set up a home lab first. Then once you've learned a lot, do some certifications like CEH and CISSP, or even OCSP.

That was a really informative read. I think myself and many others figured the biggest issue with WASM right now is purely the inconvenient development flow, and if you are willing to put up with it you'd just automatically get better performance. But there seems to be much more to it than that.

I hope WASM can continue to grow in both of those areas, cause I still like the idea but it's clearly still an immature technology.

This is a poorly reasoned comparison. The .6% figure was in reference to .5% of wealth; presumably much more energy would be required to store closer to 100% of wealth with crypto.

Given that we are nearing the irreversible destruction of our climate and that existing electronic systems offer all the benefits you mention, but with massively lower energy cost, your claim that energy “seems less important” is unsupported.
