Also, in a petrol car you are literally never worried about running out of fuel. I can confidently take detours, drive a bit faster if I want to, run the AC/heater on max, and I am 100% sure I will always find a filling station when I need to. I don't have to "plan" my refuelling stops at all. I stop whenever I feel hungry or need a bathroom break. There will always be a petrol station at every stop.

Another benefit comes into play when I am going to a less populated/remote place. For example the Ladakh region in India where petrol stations are far and few between. Just fill up a few 5 liter cans with petrol and you have a spare 500-600km range in your trunk. Cheap, easy and efficient.

The same was a sculptor extracts a bust from a block of raw marble -- subtractive geometry.

Bitcoin's rules specify what isn't allowed and violating that breaks compatibility, but the system can become more restrictive without becoming incompatible.

Huge chunks of the space of possible inputs was set aside for futures use by allowing them in blocks without imposing any structure (while disallowing them for loose transactions so nodes won't inadvertently relay transactions which are invalid due to rules they don't understand).

In that sense all future features are already complete latent inside the system and to make them useful the community need only chip away at all the permitted inputs which aren't compatible with the desired new functionality. :)

Becoming the most trusted decentralized worldwide settlement layer is considered a failure now?

Many of the cryptos that claim to scale to thousands of tps on layer 1 are all sacrificing decentralization to achieve it, at which point, I might as well use Paypal/Visa. There's no point in being able to scale to those levels in theory if in practice no one uses them.
This might be a bit contentious, but there's no top-level comment starting the discussion about regulation of UX patterns. My concerns are mostly those that could apply to related regulation (cookies, internet traffic, etc.), but I'm wondering about other perspectives

I'm not in the middle of nowhere. I'm on the outskirts of a decent sized city. I've never lived in that city and I have no idea what it's like to live on the coasts in the US. I have lived in a number of places, a little bigger and much smaller, have drive commercially, and think I have a pretty good feel for the logistics of the policies that are being proposed. I'm concerned that lot of people who are pushing for electric vehicles either don't know the reality of living in a rural area or are too well paid to realize that the cost of any new vehicle and especially one full of new tech is prohibitive to those in our situations.
GitHub is one that gets me often.
Musk's public persona is a nightmare, even if you only look at his public professional persona -- encouraging overwork, getting himself knowledgeable enough about a subject to fool laymen and investors but not deeply understanding it enough to provide reasonable estimates, a total disregard for safety of both his customers and his workers, and developing an unhealthy cult of personality.

I own a Tesla, I love SpaceX, I think Elon Musk is insufferable.
> as opposed to OO where you have the data declared next to the functions that mutate it.

In the popular OO languages. As usual, the Common Lisp Object System is always worth a look. You have classes that encapsulate data, and then you have "free" generic functions (well, methods that implement those generic functions) that operate on that data.

That's if you want to make a custom view, which very often you don't. Placing default views in a window and receiving events/values from them doesn't use inheritance, instead using composition and delegate patterns.

As a user, I think what's holding back web is not the lack of APIs but how much web and browsers have repeatedly ignored user preferences, and optimized for tracking and ads.
Go to any news website and it contains tons of trackers trying to fingerprint you. Then, of course, they also have to show you tons of ads leaving at most 30% of the viewport to read any content. The web is user-hostile.

And the leading browser (i.e., Chrome) has not really done anything to solve this problem. While Safari had cache partitioning enabled for 5+ years, Chrome has still to deliver it to users even though it's a clear privacy and security win. Not just that, Chrome repeatedly keeps making decisions that hurt user's privacy and expectations [1][2][3][4].

One simple rule of thumb that I use to compare Safari and Chrome is that Safari cares about users (privacy, gating out APIs that have risk of being misued for fingerprinting), while Chrome cares about web developers (trackers, ads, More powerful APIs). As a user, my expectations align better with the former model. I would be happy if Chrome took a step back, acknowledge user's expectations and focus on progressing the privacy on the web instead of engaging in twitter wars.

In the long run, it's always going to be higher than what companies dealing with storage services. First, because of effects of scale, second, because of the overhead of dealing with the crypto layer / extra network costs.
For Segwit (a soft fork in the past), it was done by making the new transactions look like they have unsecured "pay to anybody" outputs, as far as the not-upgraded bitcoin clients are concerned. The new bitcoin clients would however be aware of extra data (the "segregated witness") and use that for additional validation. This way all of the new stuff would still be valid for the not-upgraded clients.

To make future soft forks easier, the Segwit data has a version byte, and unknown future versions are also considered as "anyone can spend". So taproot only had to increment the version from 0 to 1 to work as a soft fork.
That is simply untrue. I think there is only one regular contributor to Bitcoin that is affiliated with blockstream, and meanwhile you can't name one contributor who left.

[Perhaps you think you'd name Gavin Andresen? but he had stopped contributing years before blockstream even existed. ... and left the space entirely after an infamous incident where he vocally endorsed a pretty obvious scammer.]

I am conflicted about neural-link. On one hand, if successful, it will improve lives of many disabled persons. On the other hand, fiddling with nature in this manner has never been good for anyone involved. I mean, poking things into your brain to control external devices, does humanity really need such tech?
> The private key (even encrypted) should never leave the server.

What about backing it up? Or if the server disappears in a fire, the key would be gone for good and one would generate a new pub-priv key pair?

What about server whole disk snapshot backups; they'd include the key?

Well a lot of people were bamboozled by manufactured misinformation there. There has been a lot less of it here-- presumably because there is a lot less incentive to create and propagate it-- and fewer people have been falling for what misinformation exists.

This is both a strength and weakness. How many times have people wished CEOs actually knew what they were talking about? As long as Elon knows enough to build a decent team and lead it well, he doesn't need to know everything.

From the outside it looks like he sees himself as 'one of the engineers' which is something I deeply respect, even if there's major issues as well (FSD and Hyperloop being the big ones).

Amazingly this is a big problem that is worth solving. Many countries in Africa don’t have a developed address system with named roads and for the purpose of mail will either use a pin-drop (which can go wrong when described over the phone) or will just write a description (third house down the alley next to the pharmacy) which is very hard to sort and deliver.

The challenge is that the notification acceptance rate is so low on mobile devices that it makes it meaningless to implement such features [1]. Practically, user is most likely to accept notifications from sites that they interact with a lot. Those also happen to be the sites whose app user is willing to install. Thus, the notification feature on web is not something that a lot of users require.

> This is a reasonable feature to exist on the web platform

Not really? [1] indicates that notification prompts actually result in users navigating away from webpages clearly demonstrating that this is a user hostile feature.

Ah, so it's 5 (7) GB for a pruned node! That makes sense. But then the comment is inaccurate:

A Bitcoin full node only takes 5GB of disk space to run, and 256MB of memory.

Should instead read

A Bitcoin pruned node only takes 5GB of disk space to run, and 256MB of memory.

A full node may still be required for certain use setups (such as when used by lnd – a Lightning Network daemon).
Keep in mind most lightning implementations require a full node to function properly.

That might make a Segwit transaction in a block look legit to a node.

But what happens if a miner interprets a Segwit transaction as "pay to anybody" and creates a block that violates the "additional validation" performed by newer miner/node software?

Having had some very minimal observation of Max up close at another venue, I was intrigued to see him in the position.

Smart guy. Is it possible to be too self assured? One of his best attributes, having a bold disregard for limits most people set, in some ways did make him a great match for the initial phase imho.

Not sure if speculation is frowned on here, but let me label this clearly as speculation: I’m guessing the company is ready in the next phase to have a CEO who is more of a cultural fit with the medical community. Meaning a little more of a conventional, conservative (not in the politics sense), mild person. Max is a bit more of a take charge and get it done type, not a soothing type. Again though this is based on very little anecdata.

I’m from, and live in, Karnataka and have deliberately set my iPhone locale to Kannada.

That said, I’m almost certain it’s not because of people here mistakenly setting their locale to Canada. Because most of the consumers can understand English to an extent to use it on their phone. Secondly the Kannada translation is horribly bad to an extent of being useless. Most of the day to day phone use in Kannada is impossible because no one has bothered to translate the modern terms and phrases to Kannada.

Reasonable estimates like what ? If your company works on something that has never been done before there is not much data at hand to make good estimates is it ?
Fwiw none of that is specific to segwit, all prior bitcoin upgrades in the past were structurally similar. Back in 2012 P2SH, for example, effectively replaced the whole script system (with a copy of itself nested inside a hash).
A few years ago, I was in Liberia working on a contract, and was prescribed Lariam as a prophylactic. I'd traveled in West Africa before, but when taking a prophylactic, which wasn't always, I had only had Malarone, which gave me weird dreams and nightmares, but wasn't too bad.

Not so with Lariam. Working in a different culture, and coming to Liberia for the first time, can be stressful in itself, but I honestly don't think I would have made it without ditching Lariam after a few weeks.

I was there for three months initially, extended to six, and was prescribed this crazy drug for the extent of it.

Use another prophylactic. Not everybody are affected like this, but it's not worth it finding out, IME.
