BTC did not become “A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”…

It certainly has when you consider that by cash Satoshi meant cash as a bearer instrument.

Unlike a federal reserve note—a piece of paper—that represented the thing that’s valuable—gold, bitcoin itself is the thing of value.

Bitcoin will stay forever as long as someone has a copy of the blockchain (around 300GB now). The cost of which is negligible today.

Mining is only necessary for making transactions, and it doesn't have to be expensive. It only is because of the competition. That expensive competition is important for stability but in theory, the entire system could run on a smartphone.

And it could run without newcomers. If everyone in the world had bitcoins, making it impossible to have newcomers, it would still have value, in fact a lot more than it has now.

Bitcoin may be a bubble, but it is not a Ponzi scheme.

Gold has some value as a technical material and because of its (subjective) beauty, so it will never crash down to zero, but it could lose a lot of its value if we decided that it is not worth hoarding.
> And it’s impossible with Bitcoin.

I'm sure bitcoin purist will hate it, but afaik there's a lot of btc being held at exchanges (e.g. coinbase).

Technically instead of holding BTC there, you could be holding cBTC (value in a coinbase btc deposit account) and coinbase could issue cBTC loans similar to banks.

(The issue is that there's no backstop like in the real world, where central bank can step in as lender of last resort to avoid bank runs)
I don’t think it’s developers’ devices that are driving the trend as much as economics. Resources get cheaper so people get faster computers and developers can release faster by forgoing optimizations all while delivering the same levels of performance. Of course, this excludes potential customers who can’t afford to update, but those are probably not the folks off of whom app devs are making their money. Of course, this doesn’t legitimize the decision to forego optimizations—I’m only noting that it’s probably not the performance of developer machines in particular.
Yes, sure - the "big data" issues are essentially about data above a certain point where very different techniques for processing it (e.g. cluster computing and algorithms to split and merge partial results of computing that's not trivially parallelizable) start to make sense or even become required. If technology progress grants a huge increase in available memory and computing power and algorithm efficiency, then that boundary moves upwards.

There are early "big data" publications on datasets that decidedly shouldn't be treated as "big data" today because now it's entirely appropriate to process them with simple methods within the RAM on a decent server or in some cases even on my laptop.

Thing is, normal people in conversation telling stories set in the past will sometimes use present tense to tell the stories. It’s not normally jarring or memorable, so we don’t talk about it.

For some reason, some readers have difficulty reading written stories in present tense, like you do. I don’t understand what makes written stories different from spoken stories.

I suspect we’ll see a lot more of it in the future just due to the popularity of novels like Hunger Games and Divergent.

Unfortunately, we don't always. If we were ignoring them all, then we wouldn't care. It is that we can't help read and interpret them and have our expectations set up; hence the disappointment when it turned out to be just words.

All well and good, still, the perception and reality I don't think match.

Even here, I think you're falling for the meme.

It's funny, your graph cuts off right before it, and is a perfect example of extrapolating too soon. It's that one big recession dip, and since then are doing better, and before that doing better. More spurts, higher angles recently.
The funny part about that is the $15 hijack service was predicated on the flimsy legal fig leaf of somebody writing in an ink signature on a piece of paper and scanning it to port a number (term is an LOA, letter of authorization), same as I have to do when I port a bunch of DIDs between voip providers.

Literally anyone with a printer and a pen can forge any signature and have a fairly high degree of success in the porting process.
There's nothing wrong with using OOP in 2021.

The key features of OOP are encapsulation of data (properties and the actions to perform on those are hidden from the implementing code) and polymorphism (different interchangeable implementations of the same interface, which in turn enables patterns such as dependency injection).

With OOP data typically is mutable whereas with paradigms such as Functional Programming (FP) data usually is immutable.

These features might or might not lend themselves to what you're trying to achieve. It's not so much a question of the data you're going to store but what your application is supposed to do with that data (other than storing it, that is).

You might want to look into data structures that are particularly conducive to storing DNA data. DNA sequences in some ways are similar to natural language, which is why data structures that are commonly used for storing natural language (such as tries, for example) are useful for storing DNA data, too.
Definitely. In one example, we were following a bearing and counting gullies. It was hard to tell what would or wouldn't constitute a gully relative to our map contours. We ended up several hundred metres off course, on the wrong side of a ridge, and a target that should've taken 20 minutes to reach took 90 minutes. That was the Australasian Championship, so serious terrain, and you burn energy wandering around trying to work out where you went wrong.
> I am unsure if you need thunderbolt specifically to use USB c to display port cables. It seems you do not need thunderbolt but I am not an expert.

Correct, you do not need Thunderbolt for this. Most laptops with USB-C support something called DisplayPort Alt Mode, which is essentially DisplayPort over the type-C connector; I'd imagine that's what those cables are doing.

Now, if you have a Thunderbolt display specifically, like the ones Apple used to sell? Your type-C port would need to support Thunderbolt to use that.

>Which part of the job hunting process are you failing at the most?

I would say I am failing at finding interesting positions and at writing a resume / cover letters. For cover letters I don't highlight that many things. My resume only includes two projects I've made depending on the company I applied to. I've never had the opportunity to participate in a phone screen or at a site interview. I have done a technical interview for a position before, but that was more of a formality that something made to filter me.

>What types of jobs are you targetting?

I believe my skill set would most likely end up with me building parts of websites backends. Really I would like to work together on a team that is motivated to build whatever system and being able to communicate with them and bounce ideas off of them.

I'll take you up on the offer of emailing you. BTW my gmail username is different than my username here.
Of course you’re not supposed to wrap for the whole cook, I never suggested anything of the sort.

Generally you wrap around the time of the stall or when the meat has developed enough bark. For a brisket, this tends to be in the ~170° range.

Humidity is a major factor in shortening the stall, because the stall comes from evaporative cooling as the meat loses moisture. If you keep a large water pan at the hottest spot of your cooker, this makes the stall dramatically shorter because there will be less evaporation in a humid chamber.

I will reiterate that for a brisket, the flavor you’ll get from wrapping in butcher paper is far superior to that of a foil wrap. I live in Austin and have tried all of the best brisket around here. Anything wrapped in foil (i.e. Snow’s) is in a tier far below the best places (Franklin, La Barbecue, Micklethwait), every one of which wraps in butcher paper. There’s a reason for that! The aluminum foil really does inflict a distinctive pot roast flavor from the steaming of the brisket, a flavor that does not occur with butcher paper wrapping.

Beyond that, the other most important advice (noted elsewhere in this thread) is to allow a very long rest period after the cook, ideally 12+ hours at around 140-145°. This is what causes the brisket to really relax and the rest of its collagen to melt without drying out. My brisket cooks these days use a schedule similar to Franklin: cook all day, aim to finish just before bedtime, and then rest in a low warmer all night for lunchtime bbq the next day.

Pork butts are a very different beast and none of the above advice is applicable there, except the importance of a water pan.

I guess you're right! I'd never noticed the laggy resizing (I use a laptop so nearly always have apps taking up the full screen). But I see that also (recent MBP w/ 32Gb RAM).

I just did a comparison with slack running in chrome and, maybe I'm saying something silly here, but the difference seems to be that I'm simply unable to resize the chrome window at the same speed when the tab inside is displaying slack. So I was unable to "leave the content behind" as you did in your video of the electron app (and as I was also able to do with the electron app).

I think "production ready" is essentially impossible without also being able to say "I/my employer/foocorp is running this in production" unless you're not allowed to say it for legal reasons.

I have very little exposure to economic theory but quite a bit of exposure to complexity science. I took a look into the innovations you mentioned and it seems like nudge theory has its roots in cybernetics. Doesn't that inherently make it part of complexity economics? Cybernetics and systems theory are two sides of the same coin.

The examples cited in the Wikipedia article do also appear to be clear examples of cybernetic governance, so it would appear less that nudge theory is influenced by cybernetics and more that it is just a form of cybernetic praxis.

If you think this is bad in some place like the UK, you should see how ISPs and mobile network operators are set up in some countries in the developing world, where the vendor has fully captured the Telco as basically a hostage to its technical services.

This is what happens when you have a mixture of institutional corruption, kickbacks and bribes, lack of local technical resources to develop a domestic network engineering talent pool, and a vendor that knows how weak the client entity's negotiating position is.
