Verizon offloads Yahoo and AOL in $5B deal
Bert's point is that those 500+ people should be in the EU.

The EU should fund and maintain certain capabilities, like building, maintaining, and innovating communications networks, from fabs to finance.
There are still networks (MeTV for example) that make a living off of re-airing those shows.

The popularity of all of the "Jane Goodall studying the gorillas" redneck porn on Discovery and National Geographic and History Channel, along with more prestigious dramas like Yellowstone or Justified or Longmire would indicate to me that this is still a very profitable demographic to target, albeit distasteful to the major television executives.

They literally covered this in the book the everything store by Brad Stone. This is their game play. This is how they take over categories. Let over people to the sales and testing, then rip them off and undercut them.
The amount you reveal depends on the construction of the script, but it scales with the log2() of the number of leaves in the DNF representation.

So, for example, if you create a coin which could be spent by any Californian (assuming you knew a key for each), your full script would be 1.17 GB, but when someone spends the coin their signature would be 896 bytes, assuming you set it up to be equally efficient for all people. That 896 bytes plus the 32 byte public key would be all that ever hits the blockchain.

You're not constrained to assume equal-probablity however: if you have a probability model for how likely each condition is you can construct a huffman tree and the overhead for any particular condition is just the number of bits in its huffman codeword times 32 bytes. If your probabilities are accurate this will minimize the average size.

So for example, say your directory had a list of 100 known bitcoiners that were overwhelmingly likely to spend the coin their signature could be 288 bytes, while being just a bit larger for the other residents. If you, correctly, assumed that I would be the most likely to spend the coin you could stick my key at the root and I could spend it with just 64 bytes -- the same as an ordinary wallet controlled by one person rather than controlled by 40 million people.

For some usages there is a key creation vs spending size tradeoff-- e.g. you can expand the tree further to make the revealed nodes smaller, at a cost of an exponential blowup in the time it takes you to construct the script.

One thing that some protocols should be able to do (at least eventually) is set things up so that in the event of non-cooperation the additional transaction fees get mostly covered by the non-cooperating party.
> All the languages mentioned in the article are still around because it doesn’t matter how performant 99% of code is.

It’s worth challenging this assumption and asking whether it’s really true, or whether this belief is old and outdated like the old languages. I’m certain that providers of compute infrastructure like Amazon, Microsoft, Google and others completely disagree that performance doesn’t matter. Letting slow code run literally costs them money because it prevents multiple people from being able to use the same hardware resource. Even on your own machine, slow processes hog resources that other processes could use. The reason my laptop fans keep spinning up in Windows while my machine is basically idle is due to hundreds of processes written by people who erroneously believe the performance of 99% of the code doesn’t matter. We’re also at a point where we’ve started to measure the energy efficiency and environmental impact of wasting compute cycles. So, performance always matters.

> For the 1%, we can think about cache misses [...] but that has the enormous downside of making code hard to reason about.

You’re agreeing with the author here. Maybe you missed the explicit point in the in the article that is calling for a language that makes basic cache awareness a first class citizen, precisely so that it’s easier to reason about?

“This is exactly the type of problem that should be solved via the features of our programming languages, since writing these custom sorting functions is very tedious. What if a programming language would provide us with a structure that would act like an array of structs, but internally it would really behave like a struct of arrays? We could program in the typical object oriented way that is convenient for humans, while still enjoying in great performance due to playing nice with the hardware.”

> You are also optimizing for today’s hardware, which means that it might not run that great on new hardware in 20 years.

For the last 20 years, the need to be cache-aware has increased in importance. For the next 20 years, the gap between memory and compute will get larger still. There’s no scenario on the horizon where we don’t have to become more memory conscious as programmers or use more memory conscious languages and tools. There aren’t many performance tricks and concepts that worked 20 years ago and don’t work today. Using a structure of arrays (SoA) instead of an array of structures (AoS) has long been and will continue to be a good idea.
In FY2019 the USPS earned $16.4 billion from marketing mail [1]. Estimating 121 million households that's ~$136 per household per year.

The households that might choose to spend $136 per year to avoid junk mail are probably wealthier than average and therefore more valuable to advertisers. So letting those households opt-out would also probably reduce the value of those that remain. As a wild guess I suspect they might might need to charge closer to ~$200/yr to be revenue neutral to the USPS.

Having said that there are cheaper options [2] and I don't think the USPS should have to resort to delivering ~41 pounds of unwanted junk to every citizen every year just to stay afloat.

That depends. Nowadyas installing k8s is easy enough that it is probably the most strightforward way of getting automated deployments that is reasonably reliable. The only issue is that the control plane is somewhat heavy weight, which can be issue for these small cheap VM instances (and I suspect that the reason why they are cheap is that they are intentionally sized such as not to make sense for production k8s deployment).
Each apartment has his own washing machine in the communal washroom, so I have the cable plugged into the power meter and every time I need to wash I plug the power meter into the wall socket.

I'm considering replacing it with an ESP32 and wrap a wire around the cable which should then detect if current is flowing, but I lack a bit of motivation since the current setup is working.
I've never had amazon offer to swap anything from my cart.
There have been many interests that I've had, and hobbies that I've partaken in, that I've stopped exploring for whatever reason. For a while I used to see this as a bad thing.

However, everything that I've explored has expanded my knowledge a bit. As an example, I used to draw years ago and although I don't anymore, if I'm asked to doodle something quickly (to show a diagram or if I'm playing Pictionary), I'm pretty adept at it. I wouldn't be this way if it weren't for sketching when I was younger.
That's not my experience, I mostly see teens and sometimes one or two adults. Do you have a source backing up that claim?

This is a good point. I don’t think Amazon’s practices are structurally different than those historically of Walmart or Costco.

Each captured sales data and built private label alternatives to key brands on a regular basis. Small differentiator in the case of Costco is that they have a practice (though not a policy) of offering the leading vendor the opportunity to produce the private label before doing it themselves. But that’s a small detail.

Besides the fact that headlines about this get traction, there is a differentiator with Amazon in that they actively market themselves as a marketplace for small businesses in the way we’ve come to view Shopify. Costco and Walmart were always very clearly retailers...they buy stuff and sell stuff at a margin.

So while I think a lot of the blowup about this is overdone, there is a legitimate argument about the difference between how Amazon markets itself and what it does. But, frankly, for anyone with any level of experience with retailers or, frankly, tech platforms, this kind of capture behavior should be expected.

I wanted to like pihole so much and ran one in my home for a while. Unfortunately I had to move back to per-device adblockers.

I had multiple instances of sites just not working because of the pihole was blocking something. This would result in me putting it in non-block mode for a little bit, rinse and repeat. I can't have that kind of hassle when non-technical people use the internet too. At least with per-device adblockers it's a single click to disable/enable the adblocker if a site is acting funny.

Basically, it wasn't any faster than just blocking ads on the device itself & added another thing on the network for me to manage.
I really wish Google would split Analytics into two products. One for "advanced" website operators and one for "simple" users, aka business owners aka real people, not professional data analysts.

The problem is that most of my clients don't care enough about their stats to pay $19/month. So they opt for the "free" option (Google Analytics) which is now being positioned for the high-end market.

They didn’t lose that much money. The companies were profitable. They sold assets. If they lost money. It would be maybe $1B at most. I doubt that happened though. The tax write offs gave back a lot of money too.
I used to stuff shelves at a grocery chain ~20 years ago and one difference seldom mentioned is that grocery chains bought from the manufacturers. That meant that we as a grocery chain were responsible for the sale to consumer, we were not merely a marketplace for a bunch of different brands.

So, even if we had our own competing labels for some products, the manufacturers would never be left in the cold with unsold stock (if for example we chose to drop one brand or run a promotion for our own).
There's a long story of macros wrapping DEFUN/DEFGENERIC/DEFMETHOD/DEFCLASS. I'll admit I even used some for shortcuts in declaring types and constraints.

But their use isn't that widespread, and in practice you can pretty quickly get used to the rare case that needs you to understand them.

I think the most complex is stuff that requires code-walkers and involved things like macros for CPS transformers of code.

> Depending on a utxo state in blocks is effectively the SPV security model, -- it's an utter blind trust in miners to set the value honestly

if it was hardforked in as part of consensus protocol - miner's wouldn't be able to set invalid utxo set hash any more than they are able to "produce" blocks with invalid signatures, or am i missing something?

as for storage and performance, maybe it would make sense to take the performance hit of maintaining a persistent immutable set such that you would be able to travel back as far as you like with minimal overhead.

do you know of any active PRs/branches where utxo commitment work is/has been happening?

I'm not intimately familiar with either side, but I see it as:
- Costco buys x amount of product at y price from seller and then sells it in its store.
- Amazon provides a platform for sellers to sell with a cut going back to Amazon.

There is a fundamental difference between being a retailer and providing a retail platform.

All Costco would really have access to is how much they've bought and how that has performed for them. Meanwhile Amazon is providing a platform for companies with a policy that they will only use their data to help them, which is what is allegedly not happening.
Writing off $5B means a ton of money for Verizon. Right there we can see they already didn’t actually lose half of their investment spend.

Most people’s lunch is being eaten by the big two. Snap had to go with a different ads biz model to not directly compete with the big two.

It doesn’t stop Verizon Media, now Yahoo, from being the 5th or 6th biggest ad[tech] and online ads business. I’m hedging 6th in case there’s some one else between Microsoft and Amazon.
The difference is between retailer and marketplace. Both Amazon and Costco are retailers, and both could use that knowledge to decide what products to self-source for better retail margins. Either way, still a retailer, but maybe also a manufacturer / wholesaler.

But Amazon is also a marketplace. In that role it acts as a "rentable retail space". Using the data of the retailers in your marketplace to decide what to make/wholesale and then retail is another layer.

You could easily argue that it reduces to the same thing. But societally we've excepted that the retailer is a full layer in the system and gets full access to the data flowing through it. The marketplace itself is historically more of a fee-for-use type of thing, so its not an ingrained concept for us.
