Vanishingly unlikely. PoS would effectively destroy bitcoin's immutability, which is a huge part of the value proposition. And more importantly, a huge part of it's core principles.

Coins like Ethereum that have already proven that immutability isn't a core principle (DAO fork) are fine moving to PoS.

Most coins don't need their own PoW though. It's likely that we'll end up with one PoW chain and everyone else can periodically checkpoint themselves into bitcoin's immutable blockchain.
My experience with modern contenteditable suggests that it does work pretty well, overall, though I've not been using it for something as layout-heavy as Docs -- I've worked on the VisualEditor for mediawiki, which has different requirements.

A canvas-based document editor with any sort of international ambitions has a fairly high bar to clear for reimplementing basic features. The browsers really do handle a lot of useful things for you in contenteditable, like the upthread-mentioned RTL issues, and complex IME input methods.

If you have a lot of HTML-rendering inherently required, strong internationalization requirements, and no need for something like page-based layout... contenteditable has advantages, particularly when comparing the up-front work required.
Agreed. And for the cynics: Tesla is gonna lose goodwill and clean energy cred if their brand is tied to stuff like this. It became increasingly clear Bitcoin is overall not in Tesla’s interests.
Can’t do double width or height.
Could it be that they noticed a hit to the Tesla brand with the green-conscious segment of their customer base due to the bitcoin investment which was starting to be reflected in a drop in car sales, and which they concluded wasn't going to be compensated by an increase in BTC's price. Therefore it was simply more strategic to reverse the decision publicly and strongly underline the green motive behind it?
If it's more fair to tax profits than revenues, we should be advocating for individuals to be treated in the more fair way, rather than advocating for corporations to be treated in the less fair way, don't you think?

Besides, corporations generally have outside sources of funding other than income, while people generally don't. Thus corporations can run at a deficit, sometimes for a long time, while they figure out how to turn a profit. Do you think there's really a societal benefit to drive new businesses into bankruptcy before they get their footing by taxing them while they're losing money?

One way to look at it is that all corporate income is ‘capital gains’, and taxed more like capital gains than wage income.

Because of how scammy SpaceX is. Phil's points that we're just re-trodding the reusable vehicle idea from the Space Shuttle days, but somehow paying more for it, are pretty damning in my eyes [1]. It feels a lot like government-funded rocket shows.

I mean, space stuff happening is fun and I like it. But if it was cheaper to do it through NASA, on even the famously expensive Space Shuttle, what's the point of all of this?

Tesla's stuff is all minor in comparison.

(Disclosure: I'm from Orlando and almost certainly somehow biased towards the shuttle program, not that I don't think it wasn't an inherently flawed idea. It was an awesome inherently flawed idea. So I actually do understand the fanboyism at play. I just liked NASA's "cool" better than Musk's "sexy." The stuff they've been pulling off remotely on other planets is more impressive than anything Musk is doing. I feel like we're picking corporate propaganda over American propaganda and I don't like it.)

I am pro Tesla as a company and own a model Y, but this news was upsetting and frustrating to me. Exactly what changed from a few months ago when they announced their Bitcoin position and that they would accept payment? They knew damn well about mining in China being almost exclusively coal and that mining is extremely bad for the environment.

On another note, I don't think anybody was able to buy a Tesla with Bitcoin. This was a false claim that never came to fruition. Some serious market manipulation here by Tesla and Elon.
From what I understand DOM is pretty shit in terms of performance because it needs to support so much legacy crap (eg. float layouts) - so even using sandboxed WebGL (which adds overhead over native APIs which your browser would use to render) you can still be much faster.

If the problem supposedly being addressed is surplus renewable supply, a far better and more broadly relevant use would be heating domestic hot water, which would simultaneously displace natural gas usage for that purpose.

About 15% of US household natural gas usage is for domestic hot water heating. That adds up to a lot of CO2.

> Build better walls. Don't try to outlaw people "looking at you", no matter what frequency they use.

It's just not possible to make a wall that can't be seen through, at least without making them tens of meters thick, even using high density concrete, tungsten, or uranium.

Muons aren't photons, but cosmic muon tomography has been used to image the Great Pyramid of Giza and also several mountains. Exposure times for cosmic muon tomography are very long, but with enough exposure time, correlating 5-minute blocks across days, someone could work out mean density throughout your house and make low-res 3D video of your daily routine, even with 1 meter thick walls of reactor-grade high-density concrete with sheet steel cladding.

i don't think the author is disputing that, of course, tech today is better than it was before. what he is saying is, that having learned to use computers as the computers themselves developed, he got a different, better, insight into how they work and what potential they have, whereas todays youth use computers as a black box, not caring how they work inside, and thus not learning how to use them to their potential.
As a counterpoint, I love video content. When I’m learning something, I’d much rather watch a talk on the topic rather than read an article on it, if I can. Especially when being first introduced to a topic, I will always reach for videos when they’re available. Conference talks by the authors involved are the best, if they’re good speakers.

I’m not sure why I prefer video content. I find my attention relaxes more when watching a talk than it does while reading. Like, I find it more effortful to concentrate on a long article in comparison to watching a talk. (Though usually 1.5x+ speed is a necessity). Also, good talks are generally better written than the average article, and good talks are easier to find than good articles are. Project readmes and webpages will say useless things like “This is our database in Go, here’s how you install it. It’s fast and reliable!”. But a good talk by the author will give me the background and the story. “So, here’s why Postgres wasn’t working for us for this problem we have at Netflix. We really wanted to solve our problem this way. So then we built this new thing to do that and it’s working great! Let me show you the weird parts we’re really proud of…”.

Text is great for reference. But I could listen to technology stories like that - telling the “why” of what people have made all day long.
> Makes no sense. Numerous articles document Bitcoin's energy sources, which are often hydroelectric due to its low cost.

It doesn't matter if the rest of the country isn't also on hydro. Currently mining just takes the green energy capacity away from non-mining use, which never went away.
> They've pushed 3000+ TPS through it already in testnets

Whenever someone says something like "they've tested it with X throughput", it usually means that they're not considering security properties. Sure, you can push throughput through on test machines in a test setting and it will happen. But in an adversarial environment, systems pushed to those limits can often be attacked. Its not sufficient to test throughput in normal conditions. You have to go through every attack vector and test the throughput during attacks and ensure the throughput you're pushing through isn't making those attacks easier to pull off.

Centralized systems can push plenty of throughput. The question is not: "How fast can we make this system run?", the question is "how fast can we make this system run WHILE keeping its properties of decentralization and resilience against attacks?".

It sounds creepier if you can raise the pitch by 20-25%, e.g. in NewPipe (Android), mpv, or something. (In mpv, use "--audio-pitch-correction=no", and "]" in its window to speed it up.)
You can mitigate a bit of this by only ignoring blobs over a certain size like "--filter=blob:limit=256k" which should allow most ordinary text files through.

In the end it's the same as LFS though in that without a network examining old commits without a network is a bummer. No free lunch here besides something a bit more complex like git-annex.

Thank you, Elon, for saving the environment with just a single tweet.
Tesla contributes to misinformation.

Bitcoin transactions do not, in and of themselves, consume mining energy. A Bitcoin block is validated by miners who use the same amount of energy, regardless if there are 1 or 1000 transactions in the block. Thus if Tesla cares about "energy per transaction", this metric can go down by actually increasing the number of transactions, ie. by continuing to accept Bitcoin as payments.

It's mind-boggling the number of people who can't wrap their head around this. The easiest way to reduce "energy per transaction" is to increase the number of transactions, whether it's on-chain, off-chain, or L2.

Some Facebook moderators are asked to sign a disclaimer before starting work, accepting that the content seen in their jobs could lead to poor mental health and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). An example of the contract, read out in the committee said: “I understand that exposure to this content may give me post traumatic stress disorder. "I will engage in a mandatory wellness coaching session but I understand that those are not conditions and may not be sufficient to prevent my contracting PTSD.”

Does this kind of waiver exist for physical harm? Something like "as a factory worker, I will follow safety protocols but I understand that they may not be sufficient to prevent loss of life or limb.”

The site's down, and you raise a valid point. But:

Even starting from an ETA, there are improvements and variants that can be made. (For example, some Chinese clones of the 7750 added a safety mechanism to the date's quick adjust mechanism. It's a really simple and elegant design change, too.) The open source aspect of this project isn't just that there's a movement, but that there's a development process. Or that's what they say, anyway!

Also, pretty much every non-ETA/Sellita movement in the cheaper-than-Rolex market is just about marketing. The movement offers nothing of interest to buyers if it's just some tweaked CAD files of a 2892, because those buyers would just get an SW-300, which is the same thing [1] with better reliability.

[1] Or not the same thing; there are probably differences just like with the SW-200, but everybody in the market will think that way.

Proof of stake is the funniest scam that exists in the crypto space. Vitalik is a fucking genius scammer pulling off what he has with Ethereum. Premine the coin, leverage mining when hash rate is low to make more, then transition to a 'rich get richer' printing scheme when the preminers and miners ponzi'd up their asset as it costs more to acquire for newcomers. Just incredible.
> having their land being taken away from them in what is basically a lebensraum

So is the water in the story for the link. The problem is that contaminated is not a binary function. If the material is sufficiently dispersed in the water radiation levels won't rise much (I say rise because sea water is already naturally radioactive, as most things are. Which one could say that sea water is "contaminated" but that wouldn't be useful). If it isn't sufficiently distributed then the distance between you/a fish/sea creature is going to play a big factor since water is really good at stopping radiation. Basically think about you and your wifi router. If there's a metal wall between you and the router you're not getting a signal. Attenuation is the key concept in both radiation and the wifi router. Though this is obviously the fall back for "if they mess up" which isn't likely.

I don't think "digital native" was ever intended to mean or imply "skilled in computer science", and more "takes digital technology for granted (and therefore thinks differently)".

For example, if you ask where someone lives for the purpose of meeting them there, an analog native might answer in terms of driving directions. This would never occur to a digital native, who would instead answer with an address under the assumption that you'll plop it into your GPS.
Shooting unguided missiles at population centers without strategic value isn't tyranny?

Where are all those big Arab countries who stand by the Palestinians but don't really want to make their lives better but to perpetuates their suffering so they'll have someone to blame.

Surely, you realize that docs needs to be connected to a server in order to perform it's basic use case of collaborative editing... Right?

You must also realize that an arbitrary native blob can and will happily connect out to whatever server it's authors want it to.

I can't say that 'there are a few techies who aren't happy that Google doesn't ship docs as a native application' is a very compelling reason for Google to try to change core web standards.

> Bitcoin does not represent choice

Why not? Anyone can use bitcoin for anything they want. And any other cryptocurrency can compete with bitcoin if they want (and clearly many try). Seems we have plenty of choice in the market at the cryptocurrency moment.

The difference is that in Bitcoin land, people cooperate to build standards. In Ethereum, far fewer standards are created, and instead people just build whatever Ethereum based project they want and try to sell that. So yes, there are more choice, but the quality of those choices is a lot lower. For example, in Bitcoin there's one lightning network standard, and many wallets that implement that stanrdard. By contrast there's a ton of layer 2 networks on Ethereum and none of them interoperate and each one has a single implementation (generally).

> nobody likes watchtowers

The number of bitcoin lightning nodes has been constantly growing since its inception, and pretty much every metric is at an all time high: https://bitcoinvisuals.com/lightning . So .. I think you're not correct there.
Huh, I thought it would already be based on canvas, but I'm not sure why. I believe I observed some behavior or looked into the developer console once and got the impression that they can't be using DOM.

There is nothing dumb about what Musk and Tesla did, in fact it was for self gain.

Look at the price when Tesla announced they bought bitcoin worth about a billion dollars. Even after the current fall, the price now is way higher than back then.

Just the way Musk has been able to manipulate the whole market after investing his? and Tesla's money is just extraordinary.

It was a strategic investment which has reaped money like anything in such a short span and they even used part of it to generate a positive component to their balance sheet in last quarter.

If you know about them and if you haven't already established an entire society in their shadow. Otherwise you suddendly have a sizeable population that must immigrate en masse to a new area.

But mass immigration is fraught with perils and resisted fiercely by the populations already established in the areas receiving the immigrants. There are major humanitarian crises unfolding right now because of this, the world over, although the disasters most people flee these days are man-made, war and environmental destruction. But the result is the same.

In this case you're not "cashing" them out, though. You are directly purchasing goods. Does that sort of thing still incur capital gains tax in the US?
1) Cause it's effort... as opposed to one single capital gains event when I sell - I would have zillions to colate for all my purchases at different price points. It's not the fact of having to pay tax... it's the effort of tracking what tax I have to pay.
