The Intersection of Fintech and the Creator Economy
I always found it amusing that Sun systems were lumped in with other Unix vendors and called "proprietary": it used IEEE-1496 SBus, IEEE 1275 OpenBoot, and the SPARC architecture could be licensed by anyone (Fujitsu, Tadpole, etc), and later CPU designs were released under the GPL.

When you buy a mined diamond, you are paying for the story, of it being a finite thing, formed in the earth over a very long period of time. Lab grown diamonds don't have that story.

Separately, the work that goes into cutting/finishing diamonds is incredible and there is a huge amount of variety between individual diamonds. They are very fascinating things.
If the best option available to people was diamond mining, by taking that away from them we’re by definition pushing them into an even worse option. That’s a big problem I have with a lot of the do-good commentary on developing world labour. Taking away options from people, even bad ones from our point of view, isn’t necessarily doing them any favours. None of these peoples options are going to look good to us. Actually helping these people means improving their existing options, or giving them new better ones.

Having said that, I think given the other pretty grievous activities associated with the diamond trade, this is probably a good move. They’re not called blood diamonds for nothing.

Depends on who you ask. In the Everett interpretation, quantum mechanics is deterministic, and uncertainty about quantum mechanical measurements arises from indexical uncertainty (“which observer am I?”) rather than fundamental randomness.

wow, such good writing advice here that you've been greyed out...!
Just like life in a cellular automata world could figure out the rules behind cell replication and destruction, they could never peer underneath at the mechanism driving it all. For us, is there a level underneath the quantum level? We can speculate (i.e. string and m-theory), but we may never find out because we're made of matter constrained by three spatial dimensions and our sensing equipment is similarly constrained. For an outside entity observing the universe, it may very well be deterministic, and what we see as quantum probabilities and non-determinism are simply limitations in our ability to build better testing equipment, because we can only work with what the universe provides to us (atoms and particles).

I think that we shouldn't keep funding exploitative companies that treat people badly, and industries that are dangerous for workers and environmentally damaging. I think that's a win anyway.

Here's another take - able bodied workers are less likely to be sucked into an industry which digs up shiny rocks to send overseas, and may be able to take up something of more benefit to the local economy.
The vinyl thing is ironic because the reason it sounds better is that it's such a horrible medium that only highly skilled production sounds right on it. Your half hour bedroom mix won't cut it.
So, although the question-asker is being downvoted, your response does actually cover interesting discussion topics, and to summarise, the answer could be that the systems and conventions need to change?

- I believe in the UK (where I live) one has all of the legal and financial implications automatically when a relationship reaches a certain age (3 years I believe). Legally you would be treated the same way as if you were married.

- Friends and family; My family certainly feel this way, my wife's I'm not sure. I'm "mixed"-culture/race/etc so some of my family have different cultural views. My wife and I don't feel strongly either way about how our children deal with this when they grow up, so perhaps our (millenial) generation is changing the "social" side of it already?

- Legally I believe you have all of the rights you describe, however, it may be more difficult to prove the relationship without a piece of paper. We've had to present our marriage certificate for various things relating to our child(ren) for example.

- It _should_ have no effect on your ability to purchase a home in the UK

- There is a tax benefit for low income couples in the UK, but I believe our law doesn't specify "married".

- I don't know how any of this affects UK citizens abroad as I've never looked into it.
Unfortunately quite a lot of today's economy is contrary to the interests of civilization.

Businesses can be broadly split into 3 categories:

1. Those that create value and sell it or exchange it on the market (not necessarily necessary things, but things that someone wants.)

2. Those that don't add value in and of themselves but are necessary because markets are imperfect (accountants, lawyers, ad agencies, marketing consultants)

3. Those that exploit the fact that markets are imperfect, for profit (hedge funds, speculators [including bitcoin], the non-advisory side of investment banks, landlords, patent trolls, any sort of rentier)

And guess which of those is where the money is. But (2) and (3) do not contribute to society since they do not add to its overall value.

I would love to see a government somewhere actively encourage (1) companies, through policy incentives etc., to bring the balance back. Not going to happen though.

Addendum: I put ad agencies in number 2. I'm not talking about companies that do add value, but ads is how you pay for it (Google, Facebook, TV and radio stations.) Those are number 1 businesses.
That is interesting context for this quote from the article:

> "each encoder core can encode 2160p in realtime, up to 60 FPS (frames per second) using three reference frames."

Apparently reference frames are the frames that a codec scans for similarity in the next frame to be encoded. If it really is that expensive to reference a single frame then it puts into perspective how effective this VPU hardware must be to be able to do 3 reference frames of 4K at 60 fps.
i once used the monte carlo method to create a very simple but surprisingly effective AI for 4-in-a-row. it's so easy to implement it pretty much worked on the first try, and as a bonus the difficulty is easily tunable by changing the number of simulations (i.e. fewer simulations mean the AI makes mistakes).

The conversation is framed from the point of view of tradition in some parts of the world. Of course the cops won't arrest you if you decide not to get an engagement ring. It's like going to work in flip flops, it's not illegal, just frowned upon in many circles.

These faux-intellectual "I'm a robot, beep boop I don't understand context and I parse conversations like a compiler would, semantic error on line 5" conversations are probably the least productive on this website, and they're unfortunately very common. It's not smart, it's just obtuse.
I wouldn't be too judgmental here. From the authors' and editors' perspective, the implications are clear because the paper is not marked as a review/survey. Sure, it's not a good choice, but I also think it's unreasonable to expect a title like "this study does not find evidence...".

This is a nice (side) job if u can get it. Where do u see any marketing like that in his blog?

As a side note. The blog seems very knowledgable and technical. So good for him.
All this shows is that you can cherry-pick comments to make yourself feel superior and get back pats from your in-group. Its just like the original Shit Reddit Says, which started out on somethingawful.com, who's main claim to fame was that they were elitist snobs (had to pay $10 to join) and quick to ban.

That sounds like industry apologetics, to me. I don't know that the population in general are that keen on geology.

I'm responsible for many unemployed miners as I've never bought a diamond. Also you're responsible for unemployment in smiths by not buying horsehoes.

They are the real thing. A better way of wording this would be:

If your business is to force people into slavery, then it is part of your business to remove other avenues for them to get out of slavery.
What impact does this really have, though? Are they making better VP9 tools available to other people? Browsers already have highly-tuned playback engines and YouTube actively combats efforts to make downloaders or other things which use their videos, is there a path I’m missing where this has much of an impact on the rest of the Internet?
That's just baseless fear from the moment that the system has been designed to be safe.

Plus, you can count on the bazillion scientists working on it to whistleblow any sticks that would have been put in their wheels during the design if the military wanted to middle.

There are only two kinds of projects: secret projects for the military, and civil projects where the design and the safety are pretty much the thing of hundreds engineers not bound by military oaths.

This seems to be one of those things that you can never convince people of. Everyone thinks that their database is going to have so much data in it that having a sortable ID is important for "performance", and that sorting by another field is silly because of "performance".

ID's are there to identify the row. You can sort it by whatever you like, preferably something that makes sense from a user perspective so the users don't get handed lists of stuff in what seems to them to be a stupid order.

> Trudeau did absolutely nothing for the industry and immediately bowed down to Trump after he slapped tariffs later judged to be illegal.

(a) The amount of money funnelled into Bomardier was a lot, and BBD was/is IMHO not much more than a personal piggy back for the founding family who still runs thing. The two-class shares are crazy and should have been eliminated in any one of multiple bailouts that the company received over the years/decades.

(b) Canada has put retaliatory tariffs on all sorts of products when the US has acted in a silly fashion (and not just under Trump): it doesn't do much because of the relative sizes of the two countries.

I think one legitimate reason to invest is if you consider what a world would look like post-USD dominance.

Suppose there is high inflation in the next ten years or so. Inflation is harmful to savers in addition to business, since it makes planning difficult. How can you create long term plans ten years out if you don't know what the dollar will buy you a few years from now.

There will have to be a new standard for which to price contracts going further out. What will that be? Europe is a mess. The West doesn't trust China. Gold was used historically pre-fiat money but the government has a history of manipulating gold supply since the Fed owns a lot of gold and personally owning gold was made illegal in the US in the past.

Which leaves Bitcoin as a strong candidate for some kind of reference. The idea is that a currency goes from novelty -> store of value -> transactions -> unit of account.

I'm not saying this will happen, but it's wrong to say that investing in Bitcoin is just gambling.

This brings back memories. Fond ones, actually. Sure, the machines were sluggish and limited (e.g. 32MB RAM) by today's standards, but they were still very useful. Somehow, the sun systems didn't bog down terribly with load, so they were pleasant to use, since you knew the limitations. And the hardware was lovely. I particularly remember the keyboards, which were easy to use and very robust.

It is often forgotten that while we are a large interference, nature is in no way a stranger to random changes, all the way up to mass extinction events. On smaller scales, it isn't unusual for species to introduce themselves to new lands by crossing waters and making a complete mess of the local ecosystem.

"Nature" is nothing but the fragile status quo of a system in constant flux.

I think search results 20 years ago were laughably worse than today.
IIRC, OpenBoot was not called OpenBoot, nor was it open, until long after Sun started using it. The same was the case for the SPARC processors; the GPL relase was the classic last-ditch efforts of a failing business. Sun, had they succeeded, would almost certainly have stayed as closed as possible.
I remember reading some threads on slashdot about alternative materials for wedding rings accompanied with stories of why they were more romantic than gold and diamonds.

The best option available to a person in the short term is not necessarily the best option for a society in the long term. In this case, it almost certainly isn't. Compare "resource curse" [1].

He demonstrates a lot of lower-skill attacks in various videos, showing pretty convincingly that against a lot of locks (even some more expensive ones where the manufacturer cut corners) they are effective and much quicker than single-pin picking. That includes raking, shimming, simply using force, etc.
If there are N IDs to draw from and M videos on YouTube, then P(ID used) = M/N if the ID is drawn from a uniform distribution, and P(At least one of K IDs used) = 1 - (1 - M/N)^K (not accounting for replacement).

If M ≈ 1e9 and N ≈ 1e18, and you sample K = 1000 URLs, then it's about one in 1e-09 that you hit a used ID.

Put them in the middle of farmland. We have far more arable land than we need to be using, taking it out of production for a decade or two will be good for the soil, and it will spring back to life within days of the construction machinery leaving.

"We need to be using" from a metric you just conjured, or we are actually using?
>When you buy a mined diamond, you are paying for the story, of it being a finite thing, formed in the earth over a very long period of time. Lab grown diamonds don't have that story.

I do not know who the “you” is here, but I would bet most people that want to consume diamonds (especially mined) as an end user for display purposes want to do so to signal their (potential) purchasing power, especially amongst their network.

Although, in this day and age, diamond and jewelry in general are pretty poor status signals. In general, material objects are a poorer show of status than simply having vacation pictures from all over the world constantly showing leisure time (the more finite and expensive commodity).
