Isn't this the problem "smart contracts" were supposed to solve? I say "supposed to," because the problem here is that if contracts are code, and code can have bugs, then contracts can have bugs. Technically, this is true of traditional contracts, but, if a traditional contract has a bug, it gets settled through the court system, not just executed as is.
Just like "ask me anything" does not necessarily mean anything, it's an expression at this point.

The ELI5 subreddit describes it in its rules as such:

As mentioned in the mission statement, ELI5 is not meant for literal 5-year-olds. Your explanation should be appropriate for laypeople. That is, people who are not professionals in that area. For example, a question about rocket science should be understandable by people who are not rocket scientists."

wow a success, $5 received via NewNew HN Comment Plugin by Venmo, thanks to D.K. for paying to control me.

i started to wonder about the app after reading reviews for it and the reviews not matching up with the description of 'NewNew'. it seems like people have had it on their phone for years when it went by the name 'Suprize!'. it used to be some kind of free giveaway game app, promoted by musical artists on their instagram, but switched late last year to NewNew. as other commenters (who downloaded it to see what it was about) have said, people that already have a following are the only ones that can be 'controlled'.

there's a contrast between the way the app is exemplified in the article, vs the landing page in the iOS store. the BBC article uses contrived controlling behaviors example such as 'voting for an artist to paint a painting in a certain color' while the iOS app store shows a more realistic example of voting whether a girl should 'leave him' or 'msg him' - this fits in nicely with present day culture. but it immediately makes you wonder whats next; there's no reason for the antics to just stop there... cranking up unethical behavior is where something like this will really shine and become wildly successful. it even hints at what's to come in the form of voting on 'pranks' in a screenshot of users on the app, one of which is asking whether 'he should fill vinnies room with packing peanuts?' [0].

i can see an even more successful path forward for newnew if they eventually remove the limitation of only allowing beautiful or popular people from being controlled, to literally anyone who is willing to live stream something extreme and immoral (yet legal!!!) for a fee. bid on a random person with nothing to lose willing to go up to someone else and perform a 'prank' (use your imagination) -- stuff that people with a reputation on the line might not be willing to do. as other commenters have also pointed out, that seems like where this kind of thing is headed inevitably.

these thoughts were paid for by D.K. sorry there isnt more i spent too long enjoying reading the very entertaining reviews [1] for when the app was still called Surprize

> Given that Apple took the power/heat drop with the transition from 7nm to 5nm instead of a performance increase, that's just not as relevant as it could have been if they had gone the other way.

I still don't understand your argument here though. It's impressive because Apple was able to get first dibs on next generation technology? Should I be applauding their engineers or fearing their supply chain managers?

> However, you compete with the performance you have today, not some theoretical performance you might have if your chip was made differently.

Sure, but there's not much fun in bragging about how your V8 demolished a 4-stoke. Plus, as the market for silicon fabs continues to heat up, Apple's lead on logistics isn't going to be so noticeable. They've also painted themselves into a bit of a scalar issue, too: the M1 occupies a bit of an ARM sweet spot right now. As far as I can tell, Apple's only choice for making a more powerful machine is to use better silicon: which won't be available until 4nm/3nm starts to hit production in Q32022, at the earliest.

Drug Abuse can lead to all manner of actual crime (theft, Intoxicated Driving, etc) that has a degree of probability to harm OTHERS, this is where the states power can be ethically applies, when a persons actions can directly physically harm another person against that persons will.

However state power should never be considered ethical when they are attempting to "protect people from themselves" this mentality leads to all kinds of abuse by authority and create the very system that causes the issue you highlight

>Well, I'm not sure what you think you see or where you see it in that 45-page pdf.

It's not my responsibility nor is it even possible to find a reference to a claim that is false. If you claim that X is a requirement, I can't possibly cite a specific page that says "X is not a requirement" because it's not feasible to enumerate all things that are NOT requirements. All I can do is refer you to the list of requirements and ask you to point out which item in that list substantiates your position. That is what I've done by referencing that document which specifies the eligibility criteria and methodology and that's about the most anyone can do since it's generally not possible to prove a negative.

Now you mistakenly believe that page 8 substantiates that claim, but it doesn't. What page 8 states is the following:

>The sum of the most recent four consecutive quarters’ Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) earnings (net income excluding discontinued operations) SHOULD be positive as SHOULD the most recent quarter.

The use of the word "should" is as a recommendation, compared to the use of the word "must" which is used for criteria that is mandatory, for example on page 6:

>The issuing company MUST have the following organizational
structure and share type...

Now being that it's a suggestion instead of a mandatory requirement, one would reasonably expect there to be an example that goes against that recommendation, and of course there are plenty but for a very recent example take CZR, which was just added to the S&P 500 in March of 2021 despite not having produced a profit since 2019.

It doesn't at all look "like a conspiracy theory". Many past lab leaks have been documented (edit: https://twitter.com/Ayjchan/status/1394327678136852488), there had been widespread debate among virologists for years about whether the risk of a lab leak was too high to fund such research, the Obama administration banned it for a while for that reason, the State Department had expressed concerns about lax safety at the Wuhan lab, and so on. It's a perfectly reasonable hypothesis. If anything "looks like a conspiracy theory" it's the way that the topic was so harshly suppressed for the last year. I don't think that was a conspiracy either, though, I think it was just political polarization. Hopefully the winds are shifting now to reduce that, on this particular issue.

This whole thing feels like the INFOCOM way of doing things.

Everyone probably knows, but INFOCOM did the Zork type text adventure games. They chose to author to a virtual machine, which could be ported to many machines once, making all their games playable across a ton of machines.

Today, their software is very accessible. Porting a Z machine is not a super heavy lift. Once done, the library of interactive fiction games is available.

This machine might make a great target for micro controllers and or other smaller scale systems. Could be fun, and a source of smaller scale software for people to explore, build on.

So, if I understand it correctly, buying "puts" can be a cheap way to generate publicity around some stocks? That is, I could cheaply buy puts for half a billion dollars' worth of TSLA that are so ridiculous it's obvious I won't be exercising them, and this would give me a "500M bet against Tesla" headline?

>The 3 and Y are quite successful and quite profitable.

I'm not sure I would define the sales as successful. Tesla would still be in the red if it wasn't for bitcoins and emission certificates they sell to other manufacturers (and this income will be gone in a few years). VW has barely started switching to EVs (ID.3 launched in July 2020) and yet they sold half as many EVs in 2020 as Tesla did, so maybe in that light it is kinda successful but at the same time VW sold almost ten million passenger cars. I predict that Tesla will be run over as a car company in a few years but will maybe become successful in investments.
It seems like there could be a lot of value in disentangling the web: repealing the original laws and replacing them with a single law that covers everything in one place. Legal refactoring if you like.

I can only imagine that would be a humungous task. And presumably the existence of case law makes it much harder still.

It would be quite interesting to think about what the legal equivalent of unit tests would look like. Presumably a large collections of sets of circumstances and desired legal outcomes. It seems to me that this might be an interesting output of legislatures in addition to statutes (although whether they would/should be controlled by the legisalture or judiciary is also quite an interesting question, as our existing system seems to rely quite heavily on the judiciary being able reinterpret laws in ways the original legislators most likely didn't intend)
Note I said "at a similar latitude".

A satellite at a given inclination will trace out a ground path oscillating back and forth between D degrees north and D degrees south, where D is its inclination, with latitude varying sinusoidally with time. So it will spend different amounts of time at different latitudes, hence choice of inclination depending heavily on observation/communication target.

However, for any given latitude it will spend an equal amount of time at each longitude (east-west location) as the Earth rotates under its orbit. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_track

So for example, any satellite that images Georgia (the US state) or Taiwan will spend an approximately equal amount of time over Lebanon and Israel.

As a sister to my comment I'll also add you can effectively (though not legally) short more stock than you can buy.
This is because to short you pay for a stock at the current market price with the promise to sell it back at the same price to the lender at a future date. If you then immediately sell the stock you can use that money to immediately pay to borrow another stock.

This means with the cash it takes to buy 1 share you can short as many shares as someone will lend which can multiply your loss to more than you have.
It is a miraculous coincidence that a novel virus would spontaneously emerge at the exact location of a virology lab studying that virus.

The counterpoint to this is that this lab was setup in this location for the exact reason that a novel coronavirus would potentially emerge from bats in the region. This would require both miraculous forethought on the potential for bats in the region to produce novel coronaviruses, and a strange desire to place the virology lab near the location.

Most high level virology labs are centered based on considerations such as ability to hire talent and security/land concerns. It's relatively straightforward to organize expeditions to any region of the world at this point to collect samples.

Which means that for the standard explanation to hold true.

- A virology lab was created to study potentially dangerous versions of coronavirus (WIV founded 1956)

- The virology lab must have been placed near the location where animals were producing interesting virus strains. (WIV studying coronaviruses from all over China since 2005 including Horshoe bats from Yunnan province carrying progenitor strains of the SARS virus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuhan_Institute_of_Virology)

- A novel coronavirus emerged near the WIV lab in Q4 2019 due to unrelated sales of locally hunted bats.

Strange things occur, but this would be strange enough as to require plausible studies identifying animal sources of Covid-19 to take at face value.

There was an article posted recently on HN with no discussion that outlined the evidence for the various theories, and had pretty solid evidence for the leak theory (assuming they didn't omit evidence for the other theories):

To "which language would be the easiest and fastest to write code that involves queues, stacks, linked lists, binary trees, etc." you need to add the qualifier that it's used commonly enough that interviewers understand it. (Of course, it's obvious from your question that's what you're asking.)

I love Lisps, but they're a risky choice. Python is a great choice. For the types of questions asked in interviews, a language like Java or C# is also a great choice.

Using a/the language of the company is effective. If you are strong in Python, Java, and C# (or whatever languages) then use what they use. Their language is usually indicated in the job listing.

Number of hours can also be misleading. I work 40 hours a week at one job. Someone who worked 40 hours a week at three jobs would certainly have more difficulties at work, like more commutes, more context switching, not having the benefits that arise from a full time job, etc.
Never liked headlines use of x00% to denote x times. They have a threefold higher risk. That's shocking enough, without the extra zeroes
The problem with your reasoning is that you are falsely equating absence of evidence into a qualifier for an opinion or conclusion, which it isn't. The absence of evidence only means that such evidence is missing and is in no way suggestive of anything else. All conclusions drawn from an absence of evidence are otherwise unqualified assumptions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit_assumption

This was the exact reasoning people bet the farm on the housing market prior to late 2008. There was no evidence the housing market ever depreciated, so with that absence of evidence the housing market must therefore not ever depreciate. Contrary to that reasoning the housing market crashed and I got my house as a foreclosure at a heavily depreciated value.
> But neither are EV completely new at this point, nor is a car just its drive train.

Exactly this. The EV drivetrain is also simpler than an ICE because a transmission is not needed[1]. I think the hardest part about vehicle manufacturing, which is the issue Tesla seems to run into repeatedly, is dependable mass production.

The major auto conglomerates have a lot of experience with cranking out massive volumes of quality vehicles. I don't think that re-tooling their production lines is going to be a problem. The primary issue with switching to EVs, which Tesla should capitalize on, will continue to be energy storage. Sourcing large quantities of batteries is tricky. Tesla had the right idea to just vertically integrate cell production and likely has a lot to gain by being the premier battery producer for the industry.

As an aside, hopefully the switch to EVs will help fund research for the next breakthrough in battery tech.

Why are you assuming this is bioweapons research? There is more to virus research than bioweapons.

> > That he always opens a door that is not the contestant's choice is a necessary implication of saying that he opens "another" door

It really is. The "other" in "another" means, quite literally, "not the one already mentioned". And since the only door mentioned before that was the one the contestant had chosen, "he then opens another" not only implies but quite literally and explicitly says that this "another" door the host opens absolutely isn't, cannot be, the one the contestant chose. That's quite simply what "another" literally means.
I'm pretty sure nucleardog is correct and that Apple wants 24/96KHz minimum sent to them; the PDF you linked to actually says that under "Best Practices" -- "To take best advantage of our latest encoders, use only 24-bit sources and send us the highest-resolution master file possible, appropriate to the medium and the project." Then Apple encodes their AACs using the tools and methods described in that document. If I understand it correctly, they're basically trying to ensure that the downsampling from 24/96 to 16/44 preserves as much information as possible. (Does it really make a difference? No idea. But it does mean that Apple has a whole lot of music they can re-encode at varying quality levels.)
Good point. I'm really surprised they don't translate during installation (ahead of time).
