Yeah, but ... I am constantly told that Bitcoin (et al) is the future, that it is revolutionary, that it is going to be big in some way -- that it will replace "fiat" currencies, for instance, although the exact way it is going to be big has changed over time.

That some people are making money hand over fist by investing is then used as proof that it is a good investment.

That the fake enterprise is just lazy meta-financial-jargon rather than a more effort-full fake building project or an imaginary hedge fund with fake books and blueprints and a fancy office and whatnot isn't enough to make the definition inaccurate IMO.

I believe I saw a Scott Manley video recently where he mentioned that he does consulting work for people, and one of his customers apparently doesn't know about KSP because he built their simulation in something like a day and they were astonished that he was done already.

Most of the SpaceX commentators use it too.

It's always cool to me when something meant as a toy gets used for real. Like city planners practicing in SimCity or more recently CitySkylines.
You would sue guilty employees even if they quit and move to another company. I feel that would be much better for personal responsibility.

I just hope they offered another theme , i dont think the current one is very aesthetically pleasing, i love their vision as a company , I just dont like their laptops really, I bought a gazelle a few years back , i loved the unboxing experience and the very good support but it just feels cheap , the keyboard isn’t great either, and is pretty noisy . Seems like all linux laptop manufacturers are using similar chasis ? I want to support them , they are doing important work , but their laptops are not competitive for the price, you can install linux on a xps or a thinkpad, and get a better quality device for a lower price.
Shakespeare's plays post-date the bulk of the Great Vowel Shift. The reason they don’t rhyme is only partly because of the very last phases of the Great Vowel Shift, and partly due to the changing English dialectal landscape.

The classic English author for whom the Great Vowel Shift is most relevant, in terms of audiences today not pronouncing the text anywhere near as society then would have, is Chaucer.

Who said anything about hyperinflation? Regular inflation occurs constantly (and by design) and must be compensated for. If you just leave your cash in a checking account and walk away for 10 years you will come back to radically less buying power than when you left it - the number might be the same, but the total money supply will have grown tremendously thus reducing that money's buying power. According to inflation estimates $1 USD in 1970 was equivalent to almost $7 USD in 2021 value. The point of an investment portfolio is to outpace this dilution so that your wealth grows and you are not diluted into ruin by the printing of new money. A balanced portfolio that has some percentage allocated to instruments that tend to hold a steady value or grow inversely to inflation are critical. BTC is shaping up to be a good choice to add alongside of gold and other precious metals which have historically been used for this purpose. It is short term VERY volatile, but long term it has consistently WAY outpaced inflation.

RMS continues to claim, without evidence, that Minsky was not an Epstein client. He's actively covering up Epstein's crimes. It's not a lie, it's literally in RMS's "apology".

> All that Stallman did was being himself: diligently getting to the bottom of the issue and using very precise terms to describe what had happened. But none of that matters to you, of course.

Why would it matter to anyone? RMS has a friend who participated in a child sex trafficking ring. That has nothing to do with FOSS. All it does is taint the movement.
This is why you can't trust politicians and governments: they make decisions to cover their asses while robbing you the ability to decide what and how much risk you want to take.
A couple tips on public speaking:

1. You're not speaking to a group, you're speaking to each individual in a group. Your voice should be pitched as if you're in a one-on-one conversation with someone, and in a group, you can simply look at one person, talk to them for a minute, and then at another person. Always focus on someone briefly, including eye contact, and then on someone else. It's a lot less intimidating talking to one person, and that shows up as confidence in a group.

2. Learn to not say "um" or "like" or any other verbal placeholders that you use to give your brain a chance to catch up and figure out the next thing to say. At first, just pause instead of saying "um"; over time, you'll either stop pausing, or you'll keep pausing and realizing that you weren't sure what you wanted to say, which means learning to take a moment before you start and get a clear idea of what you wanted to say.
Oh wow, I've never seen anyone rep that podcast elsewhere, but I highly recommend it. It's absolutely fascinating. I'm not much of a podcast listener, but this one pretty much immediately captured my attention and has held it (I'm now a ~70 episodes in IIRC).
Seems pretty obvious to me that conservatives would be as susceptible to prejudices as the rest of humanity. Stating that common prejudices amongst those who identify as conservative might negatively affect specific policies is not itself moralizing.

> However, this hasn’t really worked: most vendors of cloud software simply refuse to use AGPL-licensed software, and either use a different implementation with a more permissive license, or re-implement the necessary functionality themselves, or buy a commercial license that comes without the copyleft clauses.

The AGPL's protections would mean more if there were no alternative implementations available under other licenses. But there will always be alternatives.
I get your point, and I admit I don't even know what language I think in anymore (if that's even a thing). But I'd argue that reasoning or talking about code is not the same as writing code. I went to university in Uruguay, so naturally when discussing stuff we'd say "son dos 'for' anidados" when a word didn't have a similar-sounding translation, or "escribir una función" when it did, and I'm fine with that. Discuss and reason in whatever you want.

But very early on I started writing identifiers and comments in English, and I think this is critical if you want your work to go anywhere. Say you write a piece of code and put it in Github, with Spanish identifiers and comments. You've just massively increased the barrier of entry to most collaborators in the world (have you ever come across code commented in Russian or Chinese? Not fun).

And this is just identifiers and comments, not keywords. I imagine using an entire programming language in anything but English can only make things worse :(
Just to add to sibling comments who already answered this, that isn't how orbital mechanics work (or else a lot of things would be much easier!). A good place to start reading is on Hohmann transfer orbits [1, 2]. They're commonly covered in the context of interplanetary travel, but the exact same principle applies to changing orbits around a single gravity well. The key take home as applied to here is that a single instantaneous addition of energy (delta-v) to an object in stable circular orbit just changes it to an elliptical orbit where the high point is determined by the added delta-v but the low point is the same as where it started. It takes a properly timed second instantaneous application of energy to stabilize at a different orbit.

So any ejecta from a single collision will still orbit through whatever altitude they started at, and in turn will be affected by atmospheric drag at that point regardless of how much farther out they get at the high point. In principle it's of course not impossible that they could collide with something else already in a higher stable orbit, but the odds of that get very, very low particularly in the short time frame they have before decay assuming they're starting in VLEO.

> The system isn't geared to promoting long term risky endeavors.

They made a mistake by trying to follow the obvious path towards progress, and the result proves how wrong they were. The path was deceptive and the straight direction was leading to detours.

This problem appears also in AI. Optimization only works when you can point to the solution. Evolution on the other hand can find these hidden stepping stones that initially don't appear useful, but it takes time.

In my opinion lots of the scientific research is just following the trends instead of finding these hidden stepping stones. Only very few are committed to searching so far from the beaten road.
Amazon's secret recipe for FCs is that they managed to remove almost all onboarding costs. Training literally takes an hour. So they don't care about turnover; all they need is to keep attracting enough folks that they can run at full capacity.

I guess the 15$/h figure is the equilibrium point for that. It's probably a little bit below the costs to completely automate these jobs.
i don't understand what societal problem you do you mean here - the prohibition or the alcohol. If you mean that the societal problem was the prohibition then we do know that it was solved by the bootlegging at a massive scale which relied on using cars and machine guns with modern communication of the time - telephone - playing a significant role too. If you mean that the problem was alcohol - i don't see where and when it was solved at all.
I don't really understand the distinction you're trying to draw between "make those who choose to live risky lives pay more" vs. "people who take risks shouldn't be subsidized by people who don't".

Aren't those the same thing?
Really? What's your argument?
>For all I've seen "non-white non-male" is generally given priority in all kinds of areas, certainly in start-up interest. It's considered "hip" to associate with these "non-white non-male" groups, irregardless of their actual performance in whatever area they were prioritized. (To a certain extent at least, they can't be completely nonperforming) Being able to show that you have included these groups in whatever way your organization works, gives you advantages in press situations foremost, but also in other ways such as meeting arbitrary quotas set by higher-ups and HR dept.s in your organization.

The possible ponzi is people claiming Bitcoin will replace the existing financial system due to its intrinsic superior qualities and will go to $1 million and beyond. The HODLers don’t believe they are merely speculating.

Of course that could be true, and people saying it may well believe it. Ponzi believed his international reply coupon scheme would actually pay out. So to some extent it will only be proveable in hindsight.
There are different levels of research. Right not Adrenovirus vaccines need to go back to the lab and figure out this clotting issue. Maybe they can, maybe they can't, either way this is a basic research question that needs only a tiny amount of research money. More importantly, that money needs to be spread over a few years.

Most of the vast amounts of research funding given isn't really research, it is scaling up production - a much harder problem that needs much more money. Since we now know of some issues (that would be very hard to find before a large scale roll out - lets not put undeserved fault on anyone here) the labs can focus on them.
I’m in the Netherlands. I also was not referring to doctors. We have help, kind of nurses, that comes help out for about a week after birth to get the family back on their feet and up and running again while they take care of the household (secondary) and the health of baby and mother (primary). Although they obviously get medical training, they are not doctors by far.
What a weird stat. I've never seen anyone take a fraction of a median like that. I can't think of any reason to create such a strange figure besides being dishonest.
English orthography is a dead giveaway. For example, why does the letter "i" in most continental European languages represent the vowel /i/, while in English it represents a diphthong? The way French loanwords or Latinisms are pronounced in modern English is similar evidence.

Also, vowel chain shifts are exceedingly common across the languages of the world: compare Tatar and Kazakh to the other languages of their subgroup (Kipchak) within the Turkic family, for instance. Sometimes a vowel chain shift can even be observed in progress, as in the case of the Northern Cities Shift in the USA. [0]

You can't say affirmatively that yes they deployed but then say it's an assumption.

Either they did or they didn't.

If they didn't deploy the code to production prior to the commit then I see no problem with what they did.

Even junk mail through the US mail is a travesty.

The US Government acts like your US mail is a sacrosanct communication channel that if they send you something it doesn't get drowned out by junk mail.

In all decentralized solutions I've seen, they always seem to effectively become roundabout centralized solutions. No matter how "decentralized" something is, cost is the great centralizer: you can always be excluded either by the cost of running your decentralized hub or by network effects of being blacklisted in free "decentralized" centralized servers

I think that the real decentralized solutions can only happen when the cost of "I'm going to build my own with blackjack and hookers" is free or at least until the price is embedable into "usual" costs, like if your phone could become your decentralized, always-available hub

1. It doesn't require you to remember precedence, since there is no ambiguity

2. It doesn't require you to remember order of evaluation because the order is unspecified (* x y z) is defined to be "The product of x, y, and z" with no requirement on the order of evaluation. If you need a well-defined order of evaluation then you can do that explicitly: (* x (* y z))
Could there maybe be another explanation, such as that drugs and sex are incredibly, ridiculously and uniquely fun human experiences? That's my wild speculation.
Smart cities have been a thing for a while, like in China or South Korea.

At least for Songdo in South Korea, it turns out that employers have no interest in rolling the dice on a brand new city with no proven track record, and residents don‘t really want to move to a place with no jobs. Plus cities designed from scratch in ivory towers tend to be very poor places to live nicely.
I don't trust either but at least in situations like this, the incentives for me and the private person/company are aligned. I want a quality product, they want me to be happy with the product so I will tell other people about it and they will sell more products or get more downloads. A government organization doesn't have those incentives, their 'success' is not reliant on a quality product. They don't really care is anyone downloads this app. Someone at the FCC is already taking credit for this app being available even if no one uses it.

The only incentives government organizations have is to spend money. In fact if a government organization is bad at its job and spends all of its money, it can usually go to Congress and get more money. The sole exercise of most employees in the upper levels of government organizations is to increase their budgets for next year.

> Prison is pretty inhumane, especially in the context of a limited lifespan. Even if we're immortal, it's still inhumane.

You have a very warped view of justice. Rape isn't "inhumane"? Murdering someone isn't "inhumane"?

In the case of premeditated murder the murderer forfeits the right to life, so the death penalty, especially for especially egregious acts, is entirely just. To claim it isn't is unjust and an insult to the victim. Mercy only has meaning when the penalty is deserved and prudence will dictate whether the peantly ought to be exercised in the given circumstances given the best account of the facts and our limited knowledge (hence the need for judges who have the authority and the perspective to better adjudicate dispassionately instead of fueling some Sicilian family feud or a lynch mob that confuses envy with anger at injustice).

> Moreover, how does making people go to prison fixes anything? It's just a way to assign punishment and blame people.

Uh, yes? OBVIOUSLY, if someone is GUILTY, he DESERVES blame and punishment. I don't know why this is so difficult for you to understand or how you could possibly think this is wrong or that a world without them is preferable or even feasible. If someone has freely committed a crime, if he has chosen to commit that crime and has carried it out, then OBVIOUSLY he bears responsibility for it and is culpable for his actions.
