There was a comment that was deleted as I was writing a reply. Just not to waste it, here it is:

the comment:
"Correct me if I'm wrong but in absolute numbers Bitcoin seems to be responsible for more CO2 emissions than the whole financial industry. [1] And it's hardly in use. Indeed it seems convincing that Bitcoin together with Bitcoin Cash can be tuned to have reasonably low energy usage per transaction, e.g. by doing lots of transactions off-chain. But it's not the default, it's an option that is not really being taken advantage of. It's unfair to compare systems that are not optimized with systems that are optimized. On the other hand Bitcoin is now more than 10 years old and there was already a reasonable amount of time to optimize it. That said, I think some of the initially advertised noble goals (more stable currency, democratized access to financial tooling) are thrown away for quick profits.

my reply:

On chain, off-chain doesn't matter because it's not the transactions that the miners are after.

The Bitcoin blockchain can probably be mined even on a fitness tracker, it's not that the calculation itself requiring gargantuous amount of energy. It can even be mined by hand.

The problem is, it is a competition by design which economically dictates that there's money to be made up until the price of mining matches the reward of a mined block. This is also dynamically adjusted to match the mining availability through increasing or decreasing the difficulty(which is, the adjustment of number of 0s that are needed in the hash for a block to be valid).

The current situation is by design and BTC will work fine with any amount of energy thrown at it. It will work exactly the same, on-chain, off chain, mined by a single server, mined by the complete use of humanity's energy, the energy collected by a Dyson Sphere. If will work exactly the same, only the number of zeros on the hash of a block will change.

There is something about programming in very restrictive environments though (granted it's for fun). Trying to see what you can make a small device do if you're creative enough can be a lot of fun.

Btw, the newest TI-84s and Nspires also have Python.

Actually, the only page in the site to claim "open source" with regards to the calculator is a blog article[1] by a non-technical staff. Elsewhere, it is only referred to as an "open" graphing calculator. The HN submission is titled incorrectly.

I don't agree, but I think it's an example of rules that could be applied selectively to megacorps. Banning supermarkets from selling hot coffee, so to speak, is a problem.

It's also a problem on the megacorp scale. If Google wasn't allowed to do gmail, android and such, would we have been better off? That said, if we're only talking about a handful of megacorps, there's no need to be abstract or simple with rules. There are lots of ways to keep them in a lane.

Android, Youtube & adwords are great candidates for IPO. Why not force a float? This immediately fixes most of the issues so far demonstrated in court. It compensates AlphaGoog at market rates, preserves an incentive to innovate...

Before that though... ban mergers! Reverse merges. The whole foods acquisition is a worrying one. The "multiple" discrepancies between amazon and regular retail is so high that there's an arbitrage-like force pushing towards these acquisitions. Tesla & other auto manufacturers are a similar scenario.

Consider this... Acquiring the entire publicly traded retail sector would dilute Amazon's shares by circa 25%-50%, most of that going to Walmart and Costco. They could buy the fashion/apparel industry with petty cash. They could acquire UPS. That would make other online retailers compete with amazon like Google competes with its search partners... same logic as amazon marketplace, but more.

it is about timestamping basically nothing else. basically that cannot sign something in the past. Though you can do the same with sequence number, and publicly publishing all signed hashes.

I found your comment to be a lack of perspective in appreciating a humanistic and vague piece of prose, instead interpreting it as an engineer would: a problem to be solved, and not to be whined about in the meantime.

There is no problem formulated here, I read no whining into this text, it's a very subjective observation of someone's life written in an artful style, it's not entirely happy or entirely sad, and it leaves you with more questions than answers. Accepting things that do not give you answers is a part of appreciating art, and if that's not of any interest to you then that's absolutely fine, but for your own sake I'd encourage you to be a bit more open minded about what the "purpose" of a work is rather than assume that your immediate and subjective opinion about it is beyond dispute.

Presumably, by publishing the hash on a public blockchain they are creating a trusted record of when the hash was published, which can be verified after the fact and which cannot be modified or removed, with planet-scale proof-of-work level of cryptographic assurance.

If they published the hashes on, say, their webpage or some third party's webpage, nothing would prevent them (or the third party) from redacting or removing the hash after the fact, given sufficient motivation.

They should fine Google Play for something that's wrong with it -- like adding icons for "Google Play Music" and "Google Play Books" just to distract you, waste your time, weaken your mind, and either get you click on an ad.

Somehow I have the hardest time finding (i) the real Google Play (app store) and (ii) the search form for apps (Google doesn't want you to search for an app and install it, they'd like to hit your brain with an electromagnetic pulse when you visit the app store and stare at mindless ads with your tongue hanging out the site of your mouth for hours. That is, the strength of the "platform" doesn't matter, just the perception of investors that Google products are still stuffed with ads, the king is on the throne, and such...)

There's a difference between "understanding" a language and "understanding" prose in that language. Any work, whether it's written in a language or painted in a style or whatever, is always open for interpretation, as long as that interpretation isn't based in a complete misunderstanding or lack of language proficiency.
Your first paragraph is a red herring - you don't have to read journal articles to be well-informed. If people choose to be uninformed, then that is what they will be, and not even the article here is going so far as to say that corrupt science is coercing people to be well-informed.

Your second paragraph displays the sort of unfalsifiable 'logic' that we find in conspiracy theories. Nevertheless, there are plenty of people beyond the WHO who are saying don't rely on social media for information, and for good reason.

> [...] he updated his knowledge in the last few months and/or had his opinion on Bitcoin changed by communication from others in the organisation.

The former idea is ridiculous - so the "Techno King of Tesla" (his choice of title, not mine) took months to learn that proof-of-work crypto produces a lot of CO²? Please...

As for the latter, I doubt that to be the case with a person who allegedly acts like this: "If you said something wrong or made one mistake or rubbed him the wrong way, he would decide you’re an idiot and there was nothing that could change his mind." [0]

> Tesla is a 568 billion market cap company. The profit it made on Bitcoin doesn't move the needle enough to justify some elaborate scheme to pump and dump.

Excuse me? Tesla's Q1 net income was $438M, $101M of which the company attributed to selling crypto [1], that's a whopping 23% of their net profits. I'd say that's "moving the needle" quite a bit indeed.

YMMV of course, but I'd like to think that close to a quarter of net income is quite substantial.

Making the company jump from sketch to figma is bit of a mission (source - I've done it before). The way figma handles frames, is much different to the way sketch handles artboards, auto-import doesn't work as well as you'd hope.

They would have massive numbers of designers, all needing visual assets. If you've got a library to provide consistency to them, moving that library over to another tool is a big mission, no matter how good it is.

I think you'd find figma gets healthy use at apple, like most of the work of UI design is trying a bunch of different solutions, collaboration and feedback, prototyping - I think figma would crop up commonly for that type of work - the 'shaping' phase.

The final step of 'ok make everything look apple' isn't that big compared to everything you've done before that point, jumping tools then isn't the end of the earth.

I think it's a strange choice not to have them be first class, unshifted characters - and yet have such a dizzying array of modifier keys.
Maybe. I worked at Google on the indexing team from 2006-2010. During that time, I vaguely remember some announcement of a government-funded search engine project in France to beat Google. If I remember correctly, it wasn't the first time France tried a government-funded search engine.

I suspect it's more a problem of network effects than it's a problem of money. Google just has so much data at this point that it's really tough to get marginally enough better search results than Google to get a significant number of people to switch. Personally, I use DDG for ideological reasons.

I hope competition heats up in the ads and search spaces, but I'm not holding my breath, even with significant government funding.

In my time at Google, I also remember being slightly concerned about Cuil. Cuil was started by some ex-Googlers and had some sophisticated machine learning algorithms to find images to attach at the top of most search results pages. They were well-funded and supposedly had a larger corpus than Google. On launch day, Cuil inexplicably attached the image of a porn star with an unrelated name to a journalist's search for his own name. It also had tons other very bizarre choices of images, all inexplicably blamed on scaling issues due to unanticipated demand. Also, at the time that Yahoo shut down its search infrastructure to outsource Bing's search back-end, our internal quality metrics actually showed Yahoo ahead of Bing. I'm sure getting all of that Yahoo traffic to siphon up more behavioral data helped Bing's search results in the long term.

25-50% has been hoped for many times in the past 3 decades. I don't find that very impressive.

CPython got big because of its relatively decent C-API and glue capabilities. 25% does not make a difference, decent C extensions have speedups in the order of 10-100 times (yes, times, not percent).

If I had a dollar for every time someone proposed a Python speedup ...
I really hope this comment gets higher on the page, because I think it explains the situation really well.

I was going to make a comment mentioning how the asymmetry in what is allowed in big companies frustrates me greatly. People who express disdain towards the current social structure and disparage groups like white men get hired left and right while people who vocally express support for older social structures get cancelled. Well your comment explains that asymmetry perfectly with something I had never considered: legal risk.

It is apparent to me that many people in the country still align with the old social structures, but they aren't allowed to thrive in modern corporate America. How will this affect society in the long term? What would it take for things to change?

What are the rules for Android Auto?

Distracted driving is a big problem, but my experience is that people have superstitious ideas about what is safe and what is dangerous in areas like that.

You can certainly do experiments, and the conclusion you seem to reach is that you're in a lot safer with a car that has physical buttons for the audio, heat, etc. (Had "luxury" carmakers been on the ball five years or so they would have kicked the infotainment systems to the curb and would be giving customers a premium experience today -- how many $1000 does Android Auto knock off the resale value of your car?)

Wow, that's incredible. Goes to show that people do walk away from plane crashes with some regularity. My father was a pilot[0].

He sold his plane about 15 years ago (to a group of owners, one of which was a priest, I'm sure there's a joke in there). A few of winters later, he was called out to Romeo Airport; the pilot flying the plane that was formerly his had crashed the aircraft a few miles short of the runway in bad weather[1]. He was traveling with his daughter, a friend and, I think, his wife. He died, but his daughter was able to get free and make her way to a nearby farm to call for help. Looking at the plane, the fact that anyone survived at all let alone walked to a nearby house with minor injuries is pretty miraculous.

It's hard to impress upon folks who have never been in a small plane like that just how ... yeah ... how much it feels like you're hanging onto a kite. I have no idea the kinds of structural technologies are involved in the aircraft but I know his plane was made in the 70s and was light enough that he only had a pole which attached to the front landing gear to pull it out of the hangar. The weight is so critical that the 7-seat plane can realistically only seat 4-5 adults. I remember being shocked that they had to weigh the paint they applied when he had the plane re-painted.

[0] I'll spare the details as I have left many comments in the past about his experiences.

Not in its current iteration. The biggest advantage of natural gas generators is the possibility to ramp them up and down quickly, making them an ideal choice for peaker plants or load following. For nuclear, on the other hand, the options for throttling the output are quite limited - both physically and economically.

As a mitigation, combining them with battery storage would be an option, but then again it would still be cheaper to use wind or solar instead of nuclear as the source of energy.
I'm not going to argue for or against divorces.

I will argue against a system where there is a lobby designed to glorify and encourage divorce and stoke marital conflict, followed by a litigation which costs around $200k between both sides to bring to completion, which ends when one side or the other runs out of money.

At that point, in most cases, the custody and financial arrangement is designed to be ridiculously complex and inequitable.
Blockchains are an irrevocable proof of record (immutability with cryptographic proof) unlike traditional databases that need to be audited to capture all updates. Amazon QLDB, though private but not a Blockchain, could be used as one: For ex, creating and maintaining customer wallets (per customer coupons and discounts specific to your service).

Public blockchains could be used for accounting transparency, for example, for tracking donations and spends of a non-profit. Decentralised blockchains are of course being continually redefined and reinvented, with an alternate financial complex at the forefront of it all.

There are likely many more usecases, but the ones most interesting to me are global payments infrastructure being built by stellar.org, celo.org, and diem.com.
