To be fair to Ireland it also would require other countries drop the hidden advantages to business that countries grant to gain unfair advantage.

Germany blocking regulation of car emissions and it's control/manipulation of the Euro to ensure its advantage, France's support to state industries and use of its intelligence services to gain competitive business contracts, the US subsidising research through military investment, Delaware Corps, Swiss banks being Swiss banks, Scandinavian companies using bribes, various favoured semi-state companies in Eastern Europe with suspiciously tight political connections, Israel using state resources and insider access for trusted businesses, Korean State lead industry, Chinas intellectual property theft, Italy and Greece's lack of tax collection, Dutch taxes, Malta's money laundering, the UK using Trusts, the Island of Man and BVI to allow companies manipulate tax but keeping it at an arm's length, UKs revolving door between intelligence/gov/banking, the UK letting dodgy money wash through London.

Ireland is one of the worse on the corporate tax but in many ways we are just a rocky previously poor outcrop that has found a way to be competitive openly. Many others do unfair things in more hidden ways and everything needs to be on the table.

KW per hashrate doesn't make much sense. At that point you're just comparing the efficiency for the available hardware for hashing function, ASICs that are designed to handle up to calculating SHA256 of up to 1MB of data versus scrypt ASICs.

Since that's the case, your statement of "of the very popular older coins only XRP is more efficient" falls apart as at the very least Litecoin would need to be at the exact same spot.

And if you are talking about per mined blocks, then you are putting the network difficulty into the picture and arguing a lower network difficulty (hence lower network hashrate) as a selling point isn't going to get you anywhere.
I can't find anywhere a simple answer to this use case: if I leave an Airtag in a bag, at home, and I leave for 1 week (without the bag):

1) will the tag start ringing?

2) Will my next door neighbour (who has an iPhone and I can often find it in my Airplay bluetooth range) receive a notification that someone is trying to track him?

3) Is my neighbour able to make my Airtag ring when I'm at home (and maybe sleeping) ?

Thanks

Basically we need to accept that places like Facebook are effectively public spaces now. That means two things: "disturbing the peace" type laws should apply, and freedom of speech laws should apply.

These platforms don't want this, though. They don't want the public to own their platforms and they don't want freedom of speech to apply.

What will probably happen is the government will police the platforms for them, while they maintain ownership. We see this pattern a lot.

I'd further add to this "We do not allow traffic controllers to work full 40h work weeks because the job is taxing and they have a strong union".

Many other jobs (e.g. in healthcare) are just as taxing and equally responsible for lives, but fail to enjoy these protections.

allegedly, Google did not approve Enel X charging station finder app Juicepass on the Android Auto store due to security and standards concerns.

They are not even trying to justify or defend themselves because they don't need to - they will pay the fine and move on.

In 1893, Fridtjof Nansen took a ship with a 12 men crew to North of East Siberia, purposefully sailed the ship to get stuck in sea ice, and hoped that the ice movement with ocean currents would take them to the North Pole. The ship spent 3 years stuck in ice, but didn't quite flow over the North Pole. These people didn't go mad.

I see. So the idea is not that svn's handling of large files at the repo-level is somehow better than that of a git repo per se, but that it's fine for the (possibly remote) svn repo to take the 'large file' hit, since the (presumably local) wc is disjoint from it, and thus unaffected in terms of local storage. Ok, that makes sense...

I've been using a decentralised svn workflow at work for so long, I didn't even think of this :)
That’s correct. Well blocking is not much of an issue in and of itself but it’s blocking and single process and single threaded, so it can only serve one request at a time.

It’s not usually an issue for small stuff, but it does mean you can’t really use this snippet to serve big files for a lan, which is a bit of a surprise the first time you hit that limitation.
No. But we don't adjust laws or tell people not to report crimes just because the legal system can't keep up. It's better to have a record of it being filed even if it's dismissed right away.
The problem isn't just people sharing illicit content. The problem is those who facilitate that.

The 'town square' notion isn't apt because that's a public space. A better analogy is a private party as each and every platform is, at the end of the day, owned and managed by private legal entities.

If publishers were to verbatim publish whatever crazy, illicit content was mailed to them by their subscribers/readers, they'd be prosecuted within a fortnight. There's plenty of jurisprudence in the U.S. alone.

Online platforms escape legal liability because of Section 230 which states:

> No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

The big dilemma is that Section 230 needs to be reconsidered if you want to do something about the platforms that facilitate sharing graphic content, hate speech and so on. That's problematic because Section 230 has, arguably, allowed for the Internet to become a free haven for whatever anyone wants to share and build.

The other option is passing the buck to the free market. That is: if you don't like what you see, move over to a different platform. Or: don't use, or work for a platform that doesn't align with your own morals and values.

While that's a nice sentiment: the reality clearly doesn't work like that. Why does someone decide to work for Facebook as a moderator in the first place? Is it because they genuinely want to make a career out of this? Or is it because social/economic circumstances push them in that direction (e.g. lack of other career options, tradeoffs preventing them to move towards other career options,...)?

The same is true about the rise of social media. Billions of people are connected online. And they might seemingly have a ton of agency. But reality is that the vast majority of ordinary people spend the vast majority of time on a handful of social media, posting and sharing content, building an online identity... on a 3rd party platform which they don't own. Without hyperbole: they can't readily migrate lest they lose connection with the digital communities which is inextricably hosted on these platforms. That's just how a matter of networking effects.

All in all, in closing this diatribe: law enforcement and justice can't do much unless there's a clear, modern legal framework which can be readily applied to the middle men.
The issue I have with yadm is that, unlike stow, it can't manage directories.

For example, if you want to keep track of your whole Firefox profile's directory (without bothering adding/committing single files), in stow it's as simple as symlinking ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile_dir>.

For programs whose configuration you know intimately this is not a problem (e.g. for bash, we all know we probably just need .bashrc), but not all programs rely on a single flat configuration file.
Maybe it was more historically true. Then there was the Ant vs. Maven vs. Gradle thing.

This would not be such a complaint (look at the explosion of build systems everywhere) if Java were less touted as "write once, run anywhere".

Build systems and configuration management are two hard problems.

Nice that you brought up the location. I'm in Europe.

There are two sides of me when I think about the salary and location:

1) you write code and produce stuff and it doesn't matter where you live. you can live anywhere you want, just do the job and get paid. from that POV it seems weird to think that one person gets a lot more money than the other for the same output, the same work

2) another POV in me is that your costs are different depending on where you live. so while the salary's number on paper can be the same for people working from different countries, the "worth" of the money is different.

But mostly I tend to agree with POV number 1 I think.
If Google leaves the Italian market, Italy could have a chance to create a local Google. Google's scale is huge and they have a lot of products, but a subset of these products, such as tracking, ads, search, emails, and videos, is achievable for a country like Italy in my opinion.
As I said, the number of transactions is irrelevant up until the block reward gets minuscule or completely ends. That is statistically not expected to happen before a few decades.

I know about the banking industry argument but the banking industry is not only about transactions and they also catch up with technology, removing staff closing down offices and branches. In fact, those related to transactions are already almost gone, the rest is about things where BTC is irrelevant anyway, things like compliance anti-fraud etc. If anything, the crypto exchanges assumed many of the banking infrastructure.

Blockchain vs a centralised database is not even a competition when it comes to efficiency, no matter how much you want o twist the argument the fundamentals are rock solid.

What blockchain solves is the trust issue but only for storing the value and not for using it. The problem is, we as humans rarely transact with people who we don't trust. Even with the ransomware and drug trade use cases of the crypto coins, the transaction depends on the trust that the seller will deliver the goods.

The only possible use case is when the society ceases to function. When that happens, BTC would be very useful but when that happens the economy would be fraction of what is now because everything beyond transactions will still need trust so that the labour can integrate vertically and do high value production.

> The passport fee should be more than enough (as it is for literally every other country)

The US does have an extremely good network of embassies, and the US is also probably the most effective country on earth at being able to evacuate their citizens from areas that turn hostile.

And of course... a passport is nothing without the state to back it up. That requires more funding than just a passport fee.
It's naive to think this recycle bin is purely there as a way for Facebook to keep your data. Facebook can already do that (just because it appears deleted to you doesn't mean it's actually deleted) and there are both nefarious (this is Facebook after all) and legitimate reasons to do so (keeping deleted posts in a moderation queue so that rule-breakers can't just quickly post & delete forbidden content before moderators have a chance to review it).
I'll put it a different way. Most people don't see issues with that, they see issues with shit legislation. You want an effective method? Provide a negative incentive to correct that. Its far more effective to do that.

Talking about how we should get them to change their morality may give us the feel goods, but that's about all it'll do.
Salary and job condition negotiations aren't like hostage negotiations. The actors are rational (often, the process forces this by intermediation, so you don't have a human back-and-forth conversation) and ground truth is objective (market conditions).

More importantly, BATNA gives you confidence in your asks. Many people simply don't negotiate at all. Trying to negotiate salary and conditions in the absence of a BATNA requires a level of social skill and confidence that many people simply don't have.

It was this machine:

If I'm reading this analysis [1] correctly, M1 has only one integer divider, but it appears to be almost fully pipelined as it can indeed start a new divide every other clock cycle.

The latency is also impressively good even at 64 bits, but the benchmark should not be div-latency bound in any case as, each division can be started without waiting for the previous division to finish.

edit: of course it is possible that internally the divider is not fully pipelined, but there are actually multiple dividers. It is only exposed as a single unit (i.e only a single port) because it wouldn't be able to start more than one operation per clock cycle in any case. If I had to guess, the additional SIMD dividers are repurposed for this, but that doesn't explain why 64 bit still has the same throughput as 32bit.

edit2: SIMD is on the same port as fdiv, not integer. fdiv has a throughput of 1 div per clock cycle!

I almost wrote something like that, but then I considered that I haven't really benchmarked this. Streaming data from CPU onto the GPU is certainly possible and graphics APIs do have hints for such usage. You also don't need to convert to a texture to get arbitrary data on the screen, a trivial shader can do that for you.

If your data/transformations naturally live in RAM/CPU, that may well be the most efficient thing to do.
