I was checking the description of the books and I can't resist rolling my eyes at the idea that KOTOR offered" complex morality choices". I mean the game follows the binary morality system from Star Wars with its Light/Dark sides, which were translated in-game as being a nice guy or a jerk.
It also only works if the smart contract is a legal contract, which is something that gets hashed out in court, not in code review.

Some cryptocurrency enthusiasts seem to think declaring "code is law" actually makes it so while this is pretty far from the truth.
Market caps get extra weird for cryptocurrencies which are created as forks of an existing chain, because everyone who held the original coin at the time of the fork technically holds an equal number of the forked coins, even if the owners of those coins have never interacted with the fork.

Well if Python 2 had a logic bomb that literally makes it unusable after the end-of-life date, that would be true.
As a user, the main disadvantage I see in using open source libraries is that the person that provides it to you for free might stop maintaining it. So sometimes going the paid, non free software way could be beneficial. I'm thinking of typical enterprise app libraries like WYSIWYG editors, spreadsheets, etc..
In desktop app, the open source front-ends are generally less beginner friendly than those of closed source software, because optimizing them is a lot of work that requires skills different from those of the typical open source dev. There are many exception though : blender, inkscape, kdenlive have very well thought out UIs imo.
Okay, if they actually got the virus that early, then these countries are the answer to my question.

However... at least for Taiwan that doesn't feel like it adds up:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/taiwan

They've had fewer than 1700 cases, and that's including a recent massive outbreak. They peaked on March 26th 7-day average with 21 cases a day. Granted, the US took maybe a couple more weeks to ramp up to its first plateau, so maybe if it was caught here a few weeks earlier it would have made all the difference. But it feels a lot more like Taiwan just didn't have a lot of travel to and from Wuhan?

Yes, but the market cap for companies serves a different purpose. Its a somewhat funny way to compare which companies people (shareholder) value higher. You cant compare share price ofc because of different numbers of shares so the market cap kinda corrects that. The number itself is meaningless but you can sorta compare it as financial size. It might be more relevant than comparing number of people hired or revenue or other metrics especially for companies form completely different branches.

Relative to what, again? The old days, before antibiotics?

I mean, if you go back far enough, 1 out of 5 people died by homocide. That still wouldn't make it reasonable to say that we're "relatively good" if only 10 million Americans a year are getting murdered.

Death, and specifically premature death, is still a very unfortunate reality. Playing it down as if "well it happened more often in the old days" is, frankly, a bit bizarre.

> the smart contracts might make 99% of transactions much more efficient

The entire point of proof-of-work is that it is inefficient, by design. Efficiency is counteracted: Advances in technology that lead to more efficient mining techniques directly mean the difficulty for the next block being adjusted up.

Operating on traditional databases (where automation is regularly implemented, too) is orders of magnitude more efficient. Because like most other things other than proof-of-work, those processes directly benefit from getting more efficient.
A bit redundant.

We know how to “kill” the SARS-CoV-2 virus in vitro (in a test tube). Ammonia, bleach, UV light. Heck, even diluted mouthwash will do the trick.

The problem is that none of these approaches are safe in vivo (in the body). All of the approaches the article talks will require years of human testing. The drug EIDD-2801 does similar things but has yet to pass testing even after 12 months of studies.

>And if you want more shares for PoS, well, you innovate and earn to buy more shares.

If the devs have a 51% share of staked ETH and they never sell any ETH then even if you buy all ETH on the market you will never get beyond 49%. The only way that can happen is if the devs to decide to hand over control to you voluntarily.

>Your model only works if you assume a very closed and proprietary economic system.

What you are assuming is that the economy exists for the sake of Ethereum, people work and exist so that they can buy ETH shares for POS but reverse doesn't apply because owning ETH only entitles you to earning more ETH, nothing more.

This is a trap that a lot of cryptocurrency enthusiasts fall into. The decentralized nature of blockchains doesn't extend into reality. You cannot have a house deed on the blockchain because it would require a central authority outside of the blockchain to recognize the deed. Therefore information can enter the Blockchain and be stored there, but it cannot have impact outside the blockchain because the world isn't being simulated inside a decentralized blockchain.

In that regard the blockchain is similar to a sandbox, the only thing that exists is the sandbox itself and all the data you have decided to store inside it and since a lot of the data is meaningless, the focus is put on the sandbox being a goal in itself.

Another common trap is to build a programming language where the only significant project written in that language is the compiler.
I remember a period last spring and early summer when parties and gatherings were getting "busted", but I don't think the enforcement of restrictions on private gatherings has been meaningful for the majority of the pandemic.

> starvation in developing countries due to the lockdown stopping food harvests in California

California doesn't export much in the way of staples, so that's probably quite a stretch: https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/Statistics/
A single transaction on the blockchain most likely corresponds to thousands if not millions of transactions in another layer.

Unless you buy straight from a miner, the Bitcoin you buy changed hands many times before reaching you and those transfers didn't all occur on the blockchain (could have happened on an exchange, could have happened on lightning network, could happen on another blockchain like eth).

If you look at actual transactions on the blockchain, you'll see that they have an average value of ~300-400K [1] per transaction which means it's acting as final settlement.

Ethereum's move to proof of stake (in process now) should improve its carbon profile. Further, with the Polygon Commit Chain working with Ethereum, I believe that carbon emission will not be a major concern.
For the vast majority of cryptocurrencies, especially once you get beyond the "big two" of Bitcoin and Ethereum, I suspect that virtually all (>99%) transactions are speculative in nature.
Only on a tiny scale compared to all global commerce, though. IMHO, what we need is the digital equivalent of cash, something ubiquitous and readily understood, which can be handed from one person to another when both know who the other party is, with as little added ceremony on top as possible.

You're conflating Ns here. The N in O(N) is the number of elements already in the collection, not the number of items you are inserting. Since we're talking about the asymptotic case, it's always assumed that N >> the number of elements you're inserting. In general, inserting into a hashmap should be O(1) with a constant time hash. The choice of a hashmap over a list depends on whether the constant time hash is slower than searching through the entire list.
Given that at the time of the merge the developers of udev were the systemd developers, "agreed to merge" seems like an odd presentation of that particular piece of history.
Blake Harris's "Console Wars" documentary...

I was hyped going into it and it opened strong, but then it devolves into being a bunch of clips of Tom Kalinske & friends talking smack about a dead Japanese guy (head of Sega Japan) with no one to speak on the dead guy's behalf.

It felt super dishonest and one-sided, less a documentary than a PR piece to rehabilitate Kalinske's reputation, to the detriment of everyone at Sega Japan.

It only covers the good things SOA did and only the bad things SOJ supposedly did, and none of the opposite.
The PinePhone keyboard looks absolutely amazing to be honest. I cannot wait to get my hands on one.
I agree in general, but it makes the analysis more complicated, I think, especially when considering marginal usage/activity from the perspective of an end user/consumer.

For example, one could naively believe that there's absolutely no marginal emission from deciding to get on a plane. The plane is emitting basically the same amount whether there's 99 people on board or 99 + 1 (you) on board, and the plane's going to make that particular flight whether or not you get on. However, you're funding the airline industry and increasing demand (and therefore supply) for flights along that route and perhaps also indirectly helping pay for other things the airline is doing, so that could probably be considered a marginal emission contribution.

If you ignore transaction fees for a moment, it seems like this logic doesn't quite work for cryptocurrency networks. It seems like a closer analogy would be something like a contrived scenario with an airline that has routes which are absolutely static and predetermined (e.g. a contrived scenario where an airline decides it's going to fly a passenger plane a certain route once per day every day at the exact same time for a year no matter what, even if no one's aboard, and also the tickets are free if assuming no transaction fees). There are still the indirect issues with supporting the network, but it seems like there's less of a marginal emission concern if you're someone who's just making transactions, or arguably even no marginal emission concern.

In reality, you are adding some marginal emissions due to transaction fees (direct incentive to mine), and the indirect incentives could maybe be broken down into something marginal as well (no one using the network = no incentive to mine since the currency would probably have no value), but basically it kind of feels like there's less of a direct marginal emission concern as an end user of the network compared to something like getting on a plane, especially if you take transaction fees out of the equation. In that sense, it feels like abstaining is somewhat more of a moral protest rather than a direct economic "vote" or boycott.

Am I wrong about any of this? I probably am; this is just a random thought. Maybe the transaction fees are the crux of it (even if the block rewards are much more lucrative), so eliminating them from the equation for the sake of argument makes the whole point moot?
> Sentences like "I took something there with me", for example, are almost comically difficult. Did you go on foot, by vehicle, run, crawl, fly? Was it a habitual action or a one-time thing? Are you stressing the trip or its completion? Did you enter there, climb inside, descend down? Did the trip require overcoming an obstacle? Is the object known to the speaker and listener, known only to the speaker, or unknown? Is it animate and went under its own power? Was it carried in the hands, dragged, or carried on a vehicle?

Wait, how do these considerations change the sentence? Seems pretty crazy that the method of taking a thing somewhere would change the words.
Sure. That's also pretty much the definition of anti-trust. Using a dominant position in one market (distribution of apps on iOS) to gain an unfair advantage in others (payment processing) to make profits in a way that causes consumers to pay more - it's very easy to demonstrate in many apps you pay higher to buy exactly the same content in-app vs. on website.

Even if true, that doesn't suggest that the overall numbers are artificially low. That represents a reporting time gap, the deaths were still presumably counted correctly.

I think we need something much stronger before we enter into evidence such a powerful allegation.

EDIT: http://www.healthdata.org/special-analysis/estimation-excess... seems to suggest California covid deaths were underreported to a greater degree than Florida. That would be even stronger evidence that Florida had better outcomes compared with the disruption.

Have we completely lost our ability to report at responsible scientists/engineers? There are no units on the y-axis of the subject graphs. Also 7m == 7 meters. 7M == 7 million. There are no legends for the color coding. This is absolutely the worst, most ambiguous (hence most confusing) presentation of data I have ever witnessed in my 20nyear career as an engineer.

If the author can't at least present evidence for their case within a reasonably accepted scientific standard framework (e.g. graph legends, correct units, etc.) , than the evidence should ve dismissed until they can.

No state had an optimal viral mitigation strategy. The optimal strategy being impractical or even impossible.

Densely populated places that would have acted flippantly would have been much worse.

Densely populated places with mixed unit housing had hurt themselves with the strategy they chose.

So basically California and New York could just barely keep numbers as close to Florida numbers by locking down hard. The methods California and New York chose could have been even more optimized, but not possible for a US government to do.
That's not what that link says. Here's the original post it was based on: https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-g...

To quote that: "According to this analysis a man of average attractiveness can only expect to be liked by slightly less than 1% of females (0.87%)." (And there is a graph showing that rate extending down to 0.1%).

However that is a like ratio, not a match ratio. Given the way Tinder works this isn't the same thing (Tinder is more likely to present women who have liked you).
Once again a distinction that's technically correct. If the product strategy is undermining marketing, how effective is their marketing be?
This is the crux of the matter, for most developers. Its why Apple is the target and not Google, despite having remarkably similar structure for this. The one exception is around having alternative App Stores (if I recall correctly this is totally blessed by Google, see Amazon Appstore App For Android[0], though I don't think any alternative store that has been created this way has thrived, cautionary tale of whether consumers will care about alternative app stores). Its otherwise the same, as far as I can tell[1] structurally.

Of course SF has a good hospital coverage, displaced a lot of poorer residents. Thus fewer people working high-risk jobs in SF actually end up counted in SF's stats.

But I don't think that SF's 62 deaths/100k (compared to e.g. 240 for LA and 232 for Miami) is solely explained by that, and that the tighter (and more adhered to) restrictions did play a role.

Without the poorly considered relaxations in Oct/Nov, despite clear indicators for a worsening situation, it'd have ended up better...

You literally can't close the American brder. As a strict lower bound (based on CBP encounters) 3000 people walk through the desert or jump the fence every day, and statistically many of them have Covid.

> This is made even more complicated by SJWs who confuse these two unrelated concepts (genus, sex) with their concept of gender.

People described by their opponents as SJWs are more likely than, well, pretty much everyone else on the planet to distinguish biological sex, gender identity, socially ascribed gender, and grammatical gender.

The people who use “SJW” as a dismissive epithet, on the other hand, are most likely to fail to distinguish those things.
