The problem with this is that you can easily bankrupt a company by codifying exceedingly onerous terms.

Google (to take your example) happens to be able to (barely) afford 10% of their revenue taken from their income. Another company with a different cost structure (perhaps in another sector) might not be able to afford that. The upshot is that providing a codified “one size fits all” punishment could be disastrous (if you consider preserving companies to be desirable: for the sake of this argument I do, but entirely legitimately you might not).

>Property registries are one of those stupid ideas for blockchain.

Specifically, the thing that is essential for most property registries is recognition and enforcement by a meat-space government. So, while a digital ledger is a good idea compared to, well, lots of existing property registries, decentralization/trustlessness isn’t important, adoption by a trustworthy and capable enforcer is.

> If its free, you're the product.

I'm not sure this is even useful as a rule of thumb, let alone generally true.

Let's Encrypt certificates and Debian are both "free" in the sense you mean, are you somehow "the product" for those?

Everywhere I'm aware of in the world, COVID-19 vaccines are free, are you "the product" when immunised against a deadly disease? How so?

Air is free, am I the product for like... trees? How does this work?

And in contrast it's pretty clear that many expensive things Americans buy treat them as the product anyway, because it's free revenue. So the rule of thumb doesn't even help you to avoid being scammed, it just means you're more willing to pay for the chance.

It isn't unrealistic at all. A lot of attack vectors seem unrealistic to the victim until they happen. How realistic is it to think that a hostile actor can inject their code into a build process without touching the disk, then get that corrupted executable signed; then that signed executable is installed by 18000 users with root permission?

The point of the product is to gamble, not to determine in advance which one has the best outcome or odds.

In much the same way that a casino won't let you hover around and count cards, or watch a machine all day and only play when you've determined that it's about to cache out. They take other countermeasures against that stuff these days but you get the idea.
I dunno, if you avoid student loans, a college graduate can probably get an entry-level white collar job making $60k from age 22-25 and save like $40k per year. That's more than enough to buy that car, although it would be irresponsible.
Your first reference notes: "Our evidence supports the role of mask-wearing in controlling SARS-CoV-2 transmission; however, this ecological study cannot inform questions of causality or generalisable biological mechanisms. It is difficult to disentangle individuals’ engagement in mask-wearing from their adoption of other preventive hygiene practices, and mask-wearing might be serving as a proxy for other risk avoidance behaviours not queried (eg, avoiding crowded spaces)"

If you're struggling with gold, I would suggest buying some. I'm not normally one to cheat, but my group bought 4000 gold for $100 on g2g.com and it helped quite a bit. To the extent that there are rules against this, they are basically not enforced. It's unheard of for anyone to be banned for buying gold.
I've used Go on both infrastructure and web projects. "The simplicity of Go" entirely depends on architecture and code quality. Go will force you into some design patterns that are not too favorable if you're not familiar with them. When I was helping people with Go I would see it a lot when people first start using interfaces. I would never claim, as you have, that Go cannot be used on the web or that it won't be just as effective as Java + Spring. Generally I've found most tasks between Java and Go to be similar in complexity (and requiring different approaches), as it seems you found. Where there is a massive difference is tooling and dependency management. That absolutely contributes to developer ergonomics and is a fairly weighty point that is not mentioned in your analysis.

Personally speaking, choosing between languages is a non-starter conversation for me. At this point, since my childhood, I have rotated through 10+ languages. Languages are certainly tools and picking the right tool for the job is important. That said, I don't want to work at another company that mandates one language (as is commonly the case with Java) across the entire enterprise. We need solutions that bridge tooling language gaps for enterprises more than we need archaic mandates about what I'm allowed to write in for a given purpose.

> The big challenge with lithium-metal batteries has always been chemistry.

No. The big challenge for lithium metal batteries (and every other battery research project) is, has always been, and always will be, manufacturability.

Five or six years ago I contemplated starting a satirical blog, "Revolutionary Battery Chemistry of the Week", modelled after the "Dinosaur Fossil of the Week" blog, which sadly seems to have disappeared.

Since then, thousands of "breakthrough", "revolutionary" battery chemistries have been announced. Yet, somehow, actual in-use batteries are based on incremental improvements to Li-NMC and LiFePO4 chemistries. A primary reason is manufacturability.

Yes, and as soon as there is a bank run the bank stops giving people their money. Just like what will happen if everyone wants their tethers in USD at the same time.
The stablecoin realm has a long way to go. At least Tether set the bar low.

Wasn't the marketing at the beginning that Tether was a 1:1 Tether:USD ratio? When did they officially announce they were changing to a tokenized asset fund?

Also where is the proof by Tether that indeed, this tokenized asset is more stable than USD?
Noticing malware after it's installed based on a hash isn't any better than eg windows defender. The App Store doesn't help with that at all.

>You know about that because they were stopped. And since then Apple has tightened the rules and stepped up detection.

Nope, lots of people knew it was happening for years before Apple actually stopped it and it happens with other libraries still.

>No, because that would enable social engineering attacks once again.

People still get tricked into installing CA certs which is just as effective since everything has to be done in a browser due to the App Store restrictions. So no this hasn't prevented social engineering attacks, it's only changed them and it's come at an extreme cost.

The two "small" planes I've ridden in were a Cessna and an L-39. The Cessna felt like a toy, and the L-39 was a serious piece of hardware. Landings were also very different; the Cessna just got tossed around a lot more.
Most ML papers are implemented in Python, so you need it in order to be able to play with the latest and greatest toys, or you can wait for someone to port them to your favorite language, if ever.

They also spent $1,491 million on R&D. "Much" is more correct than "almost all", which implies that profit is just the leftovers once expenses are subtracted.

Profit and expenses are choices; the fact that a firm puts all its revenue into SSG&A and R&D does not mean that they can't be profitable. If Tesla's revenue decreased by $533 million, they would probably still target $300-400 million in profit by adjusting their spending. They would do that because even at a lower revenue it still benefits them to report profit, and that benefit is still there even if they spend less on other things.

If a $533 million decrease would not lead to $0 profit, then it doesn't make sense to say that their profit comes from credits. It only makes sense to say that 7% of their revenue comes from credits, and that a significant (but not all, and probably less than half) part of their profit comes from credits.
Cool, thanks for the link. Will definitely play around with it as soon as I find the time.

Too many programming languages, too little free time, sadly.
This is incredibly dumb. While we've traditionally talked about bots vs humans, this was always just a standin for what we actually cared about: legitimate vs illegitimate operations.

If you're a business owner selling office supplies, do you really care if an order was placed by a biological human or by an automatic reorder script? No. So long as somebody is going to pay for the order, it doesn't matter.

Conversely, if someone is trying to brute force a PIN, does it matter if it's a human typing in combinations or a script entering them at the same rate? Nope.

The concern about bots is that they can do things repeatedly and quickly. Placing one order is great, placing 10,000 orders is problematic. Brute forcing a 4 digit PIN is tedious for a human, trivial for a machine. But just because a script can potentially be used to abuse a service does not mean there are no legitimate use cases, and just because it's harder for a human to do these things doesn't mean they won't.

When people want to stop bots, what they really want is to limit the rates and attempts of certain actions. CAPTCHAs somewhat achieve this goal - if the adversary doesn't employ an effective CAPTCHA solver then its effectively an attempt limiter, whereas with such a solver it's a rate limiter. However, since the goal of a CAPTCHA is not to effectively limit rates or attempts, it is not a very good limiter - the captcha might kick in on the first attempt, blocking perfectly legitimate scripts, and with a solver the rate limitation may be trivially small, and remain constant. A properly designed system would only kick in after some suspicious activity had been detected, and would progressively become more burdensome as the user strayed further from expected behavior.

This new system may exceed CAPTCHAs at identifying humans, but that is not what we want. An automatic button presser is much easier to implement than a CAPTCHA solver, and whereas the CAPTCHA solver might be broken by a mild change to the CAPTCHA on the backend, the button presser will work so long as the button its pressing does. Thus it is much worse as an attempt limiter. As a rate limiter, they claim it has a longer interval than current solvers, but again more advanced CAPTCHAs are easily possible, and it still suffers from the same limitation as CAPTCHA in that it must remain unobtrusive for legitimate users, so it can not make its rate limitation too large. In short, this is just a more easily defeated and more difficult to improve version of CAPTCHA.

There may be some niche applications where guaranteeing a human user is actually the desired outcome rather than a proxy, and in those cases this key might be a good alternative to CAPTCHAs for the further small minority who have disabilities that make CAPTCHAs difficult to use, yet for whatever reason have no problem accessing and using a physical device. Still you're talking about an edge case of an edge case of an edge case.

I had a lesson in an Ikarus C42, which although it looks like a "normal" light aircraft is made of kevlar over aluminium and is officially a microlight. It is a 2-seater but the weight is so low that if you are travelling with a passenger, there is a weight limit. I think I worked out that my 6'3" boss was too heavy to fly with an instructor.

It was actually pretty fun but, of course, the weather is everything. I can't imagine how bad it would be in any wind more than about 5 knots but on the day I had my lesson, it was calm and clear.
> The experience of driving a Tesla is unlike anything else in its price class

True, it’s more akin to driving a prius than a comparably priced german car. Especially when looking at the higher end Tesla models.

> When someone says "I drive a BMW" and someone else says "I drive a Tesla," which one stands out more?

At least in Europe “I drive a Tesla” makes you sound like a taxi driver. It’s just not a cool brand anymore. (Maybe Cybertrucks and Roadsters will change this?)
>>> How will blockchain make it better?

You're focusing on patents. Countries operate copyright offices--clerks, submission fees, red tape, human error. With blockchain, I can produce and store an md5 of a audio file, pdf, or video for next to nothing. You now have cryptographic signed proof of generation at a particular time, and a system that stores the data perpetually. Yes, you still need courts and judges to adjudicate conflicts, I never said it was a 100% solution.

Thank you for the support! It is kind of crazy how much copy-pasting there is for every single role involved. We think a large part of it has to do with the fact that copy exists and is worked on horizontally in an org -- unlike more verticalized, role-based tools (devtools, design tools, etc).

Why limit Ditto to only text assets?
Population clustering actually follows from the way people travel. It's a virtuous/vicious cycle where in the US we've been building in ways that reduce or eliminate the usefulness of high speed rail while countries that have favored rail have been doing the opposite. The US has always heavily-subsidized roads and automobile travel and as a consequence sprawl. I think it's catching up with us socially, economically, and physically.

In my opinion focusing on cost versus fares is myopic to the point of insanity. As long as we're laser-focused on the economic viability of rail we'll never see any of the other benefits.

We have a responsibility to future generations to not just keep things the same but to make them better, and I think rail does that. If you look around and you dislike your current mode of living, hate your commute, and want to have access to cities, then guess what rail is a solution for all of that. It takes decades to see any real benefit from it though, which is why nobody ever goes for it.
People would take time over a job if Maslows hierachy of needs are taken care of by some grant like Universal Basic Income.

I would conjecture people don't always work for rational reasons -> Billionaires going to the office must piss off everyone like dude, you've won the game, go buy an island or something. So work is a useful habit. Useful in that it's a source of revenue for the government. Which is good and I agree with. But that makes unemployment a wholly irrational thing. Can our economic models even include unemployment as a variable? Surely government must hear those unemployment stats like a cat scratching a board.

Should people have to lie, cheat, beg so that they can become tax paying citizens?
While it’s true that our time is finite, many people don’t have any clear idea how they want to spend their time. This is particularly true when retired. Often, people end up spending time playing games or surfing the Internet or whatever just because they don’t have any other plans.

So the value of time very much depends on your stage in life and your finances and your goals. Spending your time working or doing things yourself can be a good trade if you have the time and need the money.
