Only if it is provable that the intent was to trick other people into buying Bitcoin so you can sell it (pump and dump). For something big like Bitcoin it would be hard to prove. For penny stocks it happens and does get prosecuted.

In most asset classes: yes.

In crypto: nope.
The idea of the percentage is based on sustaining a similar quality of life as before. If you earn ten times as much as a burger cook, then the assumption is that in retirement you expect much better (and more expensive) conditions than McDonalds employees have now.
I'll try to adhere more closely to the ritual forms of disingenuous presentation and allusion brinksmanship.

As an aside, I find your choice of pronoun fascinating and enlightening.
Aye all the locked filing cabinets in WTC7 have proven to be 100% unhackable to this day! <3
Welcome to the wild west of Crypto. People have been doing this or similar schemes since 2010. But I don't think that was Elon's intention. He has pretty good point after all. Bitcoin just produced too much unnecessary CO2, so it's simply not gonna work as a money replacement. I think more people start to realize this, but are still a bit reluctant to sell their BTC.
‘Arm Waving’ Response to Hackers Makes Oil Industry Easy Prey

Everyone from the facility managers to the private equity owners assumed that the plant’s computer network was “air-gapped” -- a term referring to computers that aren’t connected to the internet or another unsecured network. But when Mission Secure installed monitoring devices to check, they discovered that a worker on the night shift was connecting his Roku device to the internet to watch episodes of “CSI: Miami.”

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-12/colonial-...

So stuff like this wouldn't happen.
Elon and Tesla invested in batteries because of their opinions on hydrogen. Its not like they realize this now.

15 years ago Tesla could have bet on hydrogen, and they didn't.

> They only care about $/mile

Every analysis so far shows that hydrogen is more expensive then electricity by far.

Lets go threw it:

- Infrastructure for hydrogen is far more expensive

- Price per energy is more expensive for hydrogen

- The truck is more complex to design and build

- Hydrogen power trains are harder to maintain

> Notice the Tesla Semi has been delayed for three years now?

Because one Semi uses the same amount of batteries as 4 cars and 4 cars make more profits. This is really not that hard to understand.
The intent appears to be to replace.

> However, does that mean that like LLVM we are forever stuck with C/C++ for a foundational piece of debugging software like rr?

> No. The rd port of rr to Rust is my attempt to change that inevitability
Did he really just try to make the argument that we shouldn’t use LFS because Git will have large file support at some unspecified point in the future?

LFS has existed for several years, and as far as I know Git still doesn’t have support for large files. At this point I’m not holding out much hope.
Ever since Twitter was seen to act in favour of one side politically than the other, I highly doubt it was just a 'glitch'.
Can you elaborate on the “go-style” approach, or link an article or two?
I saw a gif of a lady filling up plastic bags, and I was shocked that it was allowed.

I'm pretty sure other countries have rules about what containers you can/can't fill up from a petrol station. Is this not a thing in America?

I feel like "You can only put petrol in your car, or in a single jerry can" as a rule, even temporarily, would solve the panic buying problem, and also make the whole place safer.
That is as amendable as the policy of accepting payment in bitcoin was - and right now, with Tesla having a nontrivial position in bitcoin and with Musk being an influencer of bitcoin price, it is in the company's interest for him to say that it is not going to sell, even if it reverses that policy tomorrow.
That's an interesting link, and point; but my understanding it the water is contaminated.
Curd is not cheese
It was a classic pump-and-dump if you ask me.

Step 1: purchase $1.5Bn in Bitcoin

Step 2: make an announcement that will likely result in a rising valuation (it briefly went up by ~20% just because Musk added #bitcoin to his bio on Twitter...)

Step 3: sell 10% of your bitcoin at a profit of >$272M in Q1

Step 4: wait for the market to go up again, then proceed with Step 3

It's less risky to invest in a highly volatile, unregulated market if you have the means to somewhat steer the market just by making an announcement or have your company's figurehead add a hashtag on Twitter...

As another poster said, they used RNN to decode handwriting. While there was an increased character rate observed, that is substantial compared to other such systems, that is not necessarily what is groundbreaking here. 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.

With brain computer interfaces you use motor imagery [1], where you imagine motor movements (e.g. moving your left arm so that your palms face outward, and imagining the position of your shoulder, arm, and fingers) to control the BCI interface, such as in the case with prosthetics or this case handwriting. I imagine since this is fine motor movements (a different brain circuit, too) that it is much more difficult to visualize.

Motor imagery is also used in stroke rehabilitation. It is also used for sports performance.

Graded motor imagery [2] is a variant of motor imagery and there are apps for that. It basically rewires your brain’s pain circuits and makes pain more manageable and more controllable. It works for chronic pain, of any origin.

For example, in graded motor imagery, apps show you images of arms/legs/etc. in contorted (twisted) positions and at various angles in the picture, and based on the positions of the fingers/toes/etc. you are supposed to identify if the arm/leg/etc. is a “left arm” or “right arm” or “left leg” or “right leg” [3][4].

I have tried graded motor imagery (via apps) and I have excellent spatial skills: it is a quite difficult exercise.

There currently is no huge difference between electrode caps and implanted electrodes (there are multiple types) except that electrode caps are super dorky. The resolution (constant bitrate) is higher for some implanted electrodes, but not by a ton compared to an electrode cap. Generally, a ton of electrodes are not implanted, either.

So, everyone drooling about Neuralink really has no idea what they are talking about here. They have a tremendously long way to go with Neuralink and Musk is making claims that may never even be technically possible.

Also, the (marriage) divorce rate of people getting these neural brain computer interface implants (that are regulatory approved already) is extremely high. People should think about this and other social matters, instead of getting all excited about concepts (not technology) such as Neuralink.

That's a serious issue also in my building of about 70 apartments, each one receiving some leaflets every day in the mailbox then throwing them away in a dedicated trashcan which has to be emptied at least twice a week. No way to complain with anyone since there's no postal service involved. During a residents meeting I suggested collecting all than junk for one year, then delivering it back in person to all businesses that spammed us, making it clear that they'd be going to be submerged by their trash, and apparently someone was considering that option. The problem is the huge waste of paper and materials, but the cost of printing and delivering by underpaid improvised irregular workers is so low that say only 2 people actually reading that junk might turn it into a deal for the spammers.

This opinion only lists issues, not solutions. Sure, they advertise mercurial, but migrating from git to mercurial is unrealistic for many cases.

I'd title it: "Why Mercurial is better than git+LFS"
> Yeah, I skipped over dlang, too. And I don't have a good reason for that, aside from a lack of time to really explore both. I hope dlang keeps growing and eventually I'll look into what it has to offer.

If you decide to have a look at what we have to offer, feel free to join our forums. The following discord server (https://discord.gg/bMZk9Q4) is also where you can find a bunch of other D employees (Mainly me at the moment), maintainers, users etc.
For that very reason, most businesses who accept bitcoin and other crypto (including Tesla, probably) don't actually keep the crypto, they immediately convert to traditional currency.

On the other hand, Tesla is unique in that it literally went out and bought bitcoin to just sit on it, which is incredibly dumb.
That's strange. I always tell people that I work for my employer, even when it is off the clock.

I created a Fractal Demo using Houdini that is featured on houdini.how:

Sure, if you want research papers claiming so, there are plenty. This one finds a negative correlation with partner violence: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29807492

This one claims psychedelic drug users are more egalitarian and less likely to hold authoritarian views than non users: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02791072.2017.13...

It's social science though, of course it's easy to find papers making all sorts of claim. And it also very much depends on our definition of "nice", which is a completely subjective term. My intention wasn't to claim that psychedelics make people nice anyway. Rather at high enough doses they make people reflect deeply about themselves, the universe and everything. And they look at it from a different perspective than they usually do, because the drug changes how we perceive everything.

The following is my personal view now: I think the majority of people are good and they don't want to intentionally cause great harm. However depending on their upbringing and experiences, they can easily arrive at situations where they do evil things, sometimes because they don't know any better and sometimes because they were lead to believe it's ok, or even the right thing to do. When mass psychology and peer pressure is involved it gets even more complicated, and someone might come to find actions acceptable they otherwise never would. A psychedelic user gets ripped out of this whole dynamic. They view things from an outsider's perspective, if you will. I certainly do not mean to say it makes people nicer in the long term. But, to put it this way, I have a hard time imagining soldiers on LSD running concentration camps, or peyote users burning a whole continent's irretrievable cultural heritage. That's just not the kind of thing people tend to feel like doing during or even after trips. And I want to stress I don't think it's something most people would ever feel like doing if they weren't brainwashed into aggression and hatred, or arrived at such a point through a chain of unfortunate events. Racism, nationalism, religious indoctrination, violent behavior, etc... these are all learned ideas and they can be unlearned. There isn't even a need to take drugs, but psychedelic drugs can be a way to get there.
You have to qualify for the expanded unemployment benefits but I suppose that's a detail to be overlooked if it's inconvenient.
From the linked statement: "Tesla will not be selling any Bitcoin"

Edit: Yes, technically it’s future tense, but I’d be surprised if there were going to declare this without also disclosing any material amount they’ve already disposed of. It would do wonders for any charge of pump and dump.
Agreed - it is the mining rewards that drives the environmental impact.

I think the reason people (media) talk about transactions is that blocks and mining rewards are hard to understand.

For the general market perhaps - but let's say you're contracted to build self-driving trucks for UPS in particular and realize that UPS trucks almost never turn left[1] you could probably leverage that to decrease sensor density on one area of the vehicle since it's not as often used by your expected market - the vehicle might occasionally need to pause and do some extra work to make up for that deficiency but when the vehicle is on the happy path it can save some time.

This example is pretty artificial - I can't really think of an optimization you could make knowing that you rarely turn left (maybe something with the axel?) but yea - more data means that you can turn your product to behave better in optimal situations - this comes at a cost but if you have a big stack of data you can make it so that your product generally wins that trade off most of the time.

How does the energy usage compare to digital advertising and cloud computing?
I think, as a generalization, most communication between languages goes through C. For example Rust or Switft to C++ would go Rust -> C -> C++. Or Switft -> C -> Rust as examples. I think Swift is trying to make C++ bindings, but in general most languages can talk to/from C.

Of course there are other mechanisms, but for direct bindings I think C bindings are by far the most common.
A more skeptical person would say it’s been months away from proof of stake for years now… I’m not bearish on this in particular but let’s wait for the thing to actually happen before celebrating it as a win I reckon.

Instead of blaming the corporations for having good attorneys and accountants how about we simplify corporate taxes and close the loopholes? The previous administration tried to do it, but quite honestly I don't think democrats have any interest in simplifying taxes. Their platform seems to be blame corporations for not paying their fair share, while wealthy democrats utilize loopholes and intentional tax complexity for their own gain.
You are hearing only what supports your narrative because you need to hate on something. Humans simply love to hate.

The context of the quote is comparing Bay Area women to the Eastern European woman that he is dating.

And now you bring the female healthcare workers into it too. Hey women - look what this guy is writing about you.

What you will find is that it is actually you, who is decreasing net happiness of everyone around you from your confused outrage.

The article author and the people who share the quote out of context, all think they are helping (at least I hope) but they are actually saddening the world and spreading a fiction that doesn’t exist.
Is bitcoin regulated?
A little late, but I wanted to mention that I came to work on this because of the debate about block size and scaling ideas around the segwit update. Lots of opinions are generally thrown around without a whole lot of data to back it up, so I wanted to put in the work to make a systematic framework for estimating and comparing alternatives. I wanted to make it easier for other people to evalute what bitcoin's actual bottlenecks are and the way their preferred solution would affect those bottlenecks.
Or - and this might sound a little tin foil-hat - this was a strategic move to send the price of Bitcoin down, so they can buy the 10% they sold in Q1 back at lower price.

Crypto is an unregulated market with ridiculously high volatility and announcements or big buy-ins are a relatively safe method of controlling the price (to a degree).

It's a win-win in the eyes of the management - great PR ("see - they DO care") and dropping crypto prices...

I'm still completely blind to how they are actually used but GCC and LLVM both have pretty good internal representations of the microarchitecture they are compiling for. If I ever work it out I'll write a blog post about it, but this is an area where GCC and LLVM are both equally impenetrable.
While that is true (depending on the jurisdiction), I find it weird that this is so readily acceptable when talking about a corporation when all of us are taxed on our income before it even reaches our bank account.

Your comment would be credible if the Israeli regime juridical system is unbiased. However, their rulings are oppressing the minorities. Indeed, the unrest that we are witnessing in Arab communities inside only highlights the feeling of injustice by the indigenous population.

Let us also remember that the ruling regime is accused of committing the crime of Apartheid. [1]

What's better about Ethereum in this regard? People are still looking to Bitcoin because its substantially larger than Ethereum in pretty much every way (development, market cap, awareness, etc), its got a way better track record than Ethereum, its far more decentralized (Vitalik is still the god of Ethereum). There's lots of reasons people still look to Bitcoin.

Can you share any thoughts on a similar DIY project for outdoor air monitoring?

I.e. is it feasible to make something battery powered and connected to an indoor base station or gateway via some low power radio link (bluetooth low-energy? z-wave?). Would these same sensors work outdoors or quickly fail due to harsh environment?

How complex would it be to make a housing that is sufficiently weather proof yet coupled to the environment to read ambient environmental conditions? I can imagine sun exposure, wind, high dust loads, rain, and condensing humidity all being very challenging for a DIY device to stick out in a yard or balcony.
