Taxpayers didn't pay for any of the 2009 bailouts, which were actually loans, the repayment of which actually benefitted taxpayers. The bailouts, if paid by taxpayers, would have required paying about triple taxes that year, which didn't happen. The Fed, not taxpayers, made loans. By law, the profits the Fed made on those loans, went to Treasury, which actually does cover taxpayer expenses.

Read up on this before making claims that are completely opposite of the facts.
They have a point. Almond milk is not milk, that is a fact, but by including the term “milk” it allows then to get into the dairy section of grocery stores, and piggyback on milk as a product. Same here with plant based food.
Given that they mention "$16bn" repeatedly, it seems pretty clear to me that their comments are regarding marketing mail specifically, not the full set of services USPS provides.

I feel quite comfortable saying that there has been zero value to myself, or any other human, in delivering marketing mail to my home. I never look at it, I never read it, it just goes straight into my recycling as soon as I identify that a letter I've received is not from someone I have a legitimate personal or business relationship with. I have never made any purchase as a result of receiving an advertisement delivered to my home by USPS.

People talk about environmental impact per transaction because a transaction is the "useful" part of Bitcoin (even the coins themselves do not really exist, they are actually the unspent outputs of transactions). Yes, since for now the block rewards are still much bigger than the transaction fees, the energy impact of miners is still not very correlated with the number of transactions; but you can still attribute all that cost to the "useful" work it did.

That is: the transactions did not (directly) cause that cost, but they are the "benefits" of incurring that cost. It makes sense to think about how many "benefits" you got from a given amount of costs, or inversely, how much cost there was for each unit of "benefit". To put it another way, if the costs are identical, it's better to have 1000000 transactions than just 100 transactions; "environmental impact per transaction" (or its inverse, "transactions per unit of environmental impact") captures that perfectly.
I haven't used that before, with Kobra we're focusing more on building a tool to teach ML as opposed to being an AutoML tool (which that appears to be).
Most of the people I'm referring to are climate scientists. I'm not saying "nuclear scientists believe" I'm saying "climate scientists generally agree that".

But again, the rudeness isn't the skepticism, it is that the skepticism is caused simply because you disagree with me. I don't even see what expertise you have to disagree with as you're not even pointing to anything except "la de da." You have no evidence that I'm wrong, and I don't expect you to find any (though of course there are scientists that disagree, but that's not what consensus means. Nothing is absolute. You yourself said this). The DOE has plenty of talks that are public (online and in person), I encourage you to attend one, or several. Mostly because they are interesting and I think anyone interested in climate should. And to clarify, DOE is doing a lot of the climate modeling. Yes, they also handle nuclear, but they do far more than that and it isn't the same teams of people.

So either I'm shilling for an industry I'm no longer in, or your preconceived notions are wrong. I'm a bit peeved that your response to me disagreeing with you is to claim that I'm a lobbyist. There is no conspiracy going on here. It doesn't even make sense considering how costly nuclear is and how small of a percentage it is of the power sector. Jumping to conspiracy is a bit odd.

You're very vocal in this thread but your comments don't demonstrate basic knowledge of climate nor nuclear technology. Maybe sit this one out and go to a few lectures before coming back. I'm happy you're passionate. This is a subject I deeply care about too. But in science you have to constantly ask yourself if your preconceived notions are wrong. Because frankly nothing is "obvious" as the general public likes to claim.

But I don't have anything else to say here. You can continue to believe I'm part of this big nuclear conspiracy theory but I just want you to know how insane that sounds to me and others here. There's much simpler and more obvious explanations that this grand conspiracy. Especially since we're also advocating for renewables. I can't even figure out how your conspiracy theory makes sense (yes, I know you're not the only one that believes this). Like why would a conspirator ask you to get more informed in the general principles like climate and renewable energy? I don't get it and I don't think I will ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is believed that a lot of this is due to a shift in identity. Look at the examples of this used in people with epilepsy (medically stable for years, that has not progressed) for example. The divorce rates are similar with other users of regulatory approved BCIs.

It is interesting that people think proof of stake works. If there is no work, there is not time-lock in. It's just the whimsy of the majority at this time. Today's majority can re-write all of history if they feel like it. With proof of work, the past is locked in by the work done to validate it. Under proof of work, if there is just one honest node out there, it's provably correct and you can tell the others are lying. Under proof of stake, it's just the will of the majority.
It's just a glitch. A very targeted, conveniently timed glitch. That's all.
> So what changed? Well I think the biggest notable difference between then and now is then bitcoin seemed to be going only up. Now it seems to be going down.

TSLA appears to follow the same curve as BTC ... but either way it doesn't make sense, because if you accept BTC payments, you can instantly transfer them to cash if you don't trust BTC.

This is entirely the USPS exploiting their statutory monopoly.

There is no other communications medium that the typical customer would accept that much junk from. If I got that much junk email, I would switch email providers and use one with a better spam filter. When I started getting robocalls, I set my phone to stop accepting calls from unknown numbers. If I got enough junk DM’s on a social media site, I would delete my account. But I can’t opt out of USPS. We are a captive audience delivered to scummy advertisers by our own government.

My armchair theory is that this is not some kind of advanced market manipulation but Musk actually changed his mind about this after initiating his carbon capture challenge. He seems like somebody who changes his mind a lot and he is fully in control of Tesla. It's pretty stupid that he "forgot" about the negative environmental impact of Bitcoin but it doesn't seem that far-fetched either.

>The Palestinian identity is historically bound up with opposition to Israel

All cultural and ethnic identities are synthetic. Whether we choose to accept a definition of Palestinian identity "in opposition to Israel" or not, we are not simply reading off a list, but creating new language. The area that became Israel and Palestine was partitioned between the Sanjuk of Jerusalem and the Vilayet of Beirut under the Ottomans, and the local and regional cultures and identities formed then were not in opposition to anything. To build a future, we are better off taking the good things from the past, rather than the bad ones.
Interesting!

Payment channels are not at all credit. Credit means you're relying on someone to pay you back, and have a risk that they won't pay you back. Credit relies on trust. Payment channels do not rely on trust. You can always retrieve your money even if your channel partner doesn't want to give it back.
You are making the incorrect assumption that the remaining services would as profitable. The point is this $16b subsidises unprofitable (but expected) services which USPS offers. If they can’t depend on this income source, the subsidy needs to come from somewhere else (I.e. federal budget).

This is good legislation getting ahead of the inevitable problems when actually good tasting textured vegetable proteins become cheaper than meat. Once it's cheaper than meat it will be used to replace meat to cut costs in anything at all packaged or processed. The labeling requirements will be needed for consumer protection.

It seems like it's a broken legislature being right twice a day kind of thing. They're proposing it for reactionary reasons but it will address a real consumer rights issue in the future.

«Last I heard, there was a physical limit to the number of transactions in a block (and no intent of increasing that number).»

There is no limit when transactions happen in L2 (or off-chain)

«You also seem to be fully ignoring that the main energy spend is in the mining, not the validation»

Mining and validation are one and the same. A block simultaneously mines new coin and validates existing transactions.
> People also forget that the postal system was created explicitly by the constitution.

No—the constitution authorizes Congress “to establish post offices and post roads”. It does not obligate them to do so any more than it obligates them to declare war or hire pirates, to name two other clauses of the exact same section.
We're enjoying LeanPub for publishing Production Go (https://leanpub.com/productiongo).

You can write in Markdown, and sync with git. You can set a minimum price, but in our experience people often pay more.

A couple of notes:

1. The ability to have a book be "in progress" is not necessarily a good thing, because you can get stuck in unfinished mode (like our book :().
2. You can publish a print-ready PDF (https://leanpub.com/productiongo/print) but you'll need to purchase an ISBN separately (if you want).

In theory that's true if the bitcoin network wasn't so congested. Hasn't every block been saturated for a while now?

A reduction of the value of Bitcoin would be the only thing that would result in less mining, as miners aren't incentivized to burn as much energy when the rewards aren't as valuable.

Environment... right... I'm sure this has nothing to do with the 15% loss today or 20% over the last month and shareholders being upset. I'm sure Elon just learned about the environmental impacts of POW, because no one has been talking about that for the last 5 years. No one.
This makes little sense — Elon knows the energy thing is BS. Rather suspect that some group has made him do it. On the day the inflation data is reported. A distraction for the financial media.

I haven't seen a word processing document in a professional setting for many years now (didn't realize it until just now). Who uses a word processor these days? Writers certainly don't use that garbage.

I use text editors so I can think about the content and if it is going to get prettied up with fonts it goes into a target system that supports markdown (confluence, git, email, etc..). If you are flummoxing around in a word processor or sending around formatted docs that aren't PDF I fully expect people to be looking at you sideways.
Ethereum was running on PoW when that happened. If anything you've just made an argument against PoW and miner centralization, where they can just get together and roll back the chain. The same would be possible in Bitcoin and while it hasn't happened yet there, we've had instances of large mining pools trying to censor transactions. A PoS system with sufficient decentralization would actually be more resilient against both these threats than a PoW one where mining is done by ASICs, which means large mining centers as opposed to individuals running an Ethereum node from their homes.

It is based on usage statistics not a technical benchmark. That number is not their peak throughput capacity it's how many transactions they actually do, which I'd wager is bottle-necked by user adoption not by tech.
I went through and looked at each of the examples and gave my impression. That's why I say 'looks like...' as opposed to doing a critique of their method.
So what might those other cryptocurrencies Tesla is looking at be at the moment? PoS coins? Ethereum? The last time I checked for a more future proof Bitcoin alternative I stopped at Nano, but that was in early 2018.
A world without fashion judgment what I would wear is probably close to what wear now, functional clothes that optimism for price, durability, and utility. Plain black or grey T-shirt under work a breathable (earth tone) button up shirt, (long sleeve in spring, winter, and fall short sleeve in summer).
A light jacket/sweater, and canvas or thick denim pant (shorts in the summer). hiking/ work boot for shoes.

The only thing I see changing really is I would probably accelerate toward buying multiple of the same outfit for every day but I have been headed in the direction incrementally already.

But I am more of 'function over form' person when it comes to clothes.

Care sharing how exactly did you opt out?

Mails addressed at "resident at ..." drive me crazy.
Being overrun with junk mail addressed to the previous 2 tenants, can one opt out for others no longer on the address? It seems none of the credit agencies figured these folks no longer live here.

USPS said they couldn’t do anything for Standard mail.
/You would probably need a very powerful desktop (or a laptop with a desktop processor, >$4,000) with the best imaginable specifications to pull this off. So, it is of extremely limited use for the disabled individual./

Not necessarily. They have an extremely small-dimensional input, and have a pretty straightforward problem. The fact that they can train a good model with just a few hundred sentences suggests that it's an easy problem...

For other context, I do neural speech generation on phones for my day job, using an RNN that makes 4000 inferences per second. It works fine on a single thread with most phones produced in the last few years. Another helpful point of context might be 'swipe'-style phone keyboards, which are often RNN based, and turn paths into words.

The focus on giant-model work I think hides how effective small models can be, and how much progress has been made on making models run faster in limited resource environments.

While “text in a VCS” is a great option, it’s obviously far less usable than something like Google Docs, and you still don’t get real-time collaboration, which can be really nice.
Honestly, when is the guy going to get charged by the SEC for market manipulation? It is fairly obvious he knows what he is doing with the crypto market and making a good chunk of change on it through his social media influence. But he also does it with Tesla (I know he got charged that one time but he's been a repeat offender).
So I've experienced Docs getting, hmm, sad once the doc you're editing gets beyond something like 30-50 pages.

Does this change mean that I can look forward to being able to write hundreds or thousands of pages in a Google Doc without it getting periodically non-performant?
