It can be hard, yes. I would look into research assistant roles at large universities. They will be forgiving of a gap year, they routinely take on people that want to use the role to get recommendation letters for MBA, MA, or PhD work. So more school will be an option for you. You can also use university research roles as stepping stones to normal industry jobs. You will be on-campus and university-affiliated so more likely to network with a recruiter who works with the university scene.
Suspect at this point Apple doesn’t want to break compatibility with their Lightning ecosystem when wireless charging is probably going to be the future on iPhones.

The most recent non-pro iPad does have USB-C and I expect whenever they get around to redesigning the lowest cost iPads they’ll also move to USB-C.
Interesting writing style. I like the switching between I and we, it reenforces that this is a company of one.
I always try to just these things based on physical analogies. The clear analog for visiting an ecommerce store is walking into a physical store with a shopping cart. Maybe the physical store has cameras or some other way they track people. In any case they probably aren't watching every single customer to determine which aisles they walk down, if they pick up an item without putting it in their cart, etc. Let's say they are doing that though, for the sake of analogy. It's strange to me that people are ok with that, but let's move on..

Now, since an adblocker doesn't change anything anywhere except on the end user's computer, the analog should be something on the customer's person, or some part of their behavior. So let's say the customer tries to avoid identification by wearing a hat, and they purposely grab every item and put it back on the shelf to mess with the data about their shopping habits.

Do you think it makes sense for the cashier to refuse to checkout anyone who is wearing a hat? Or if they spotted someone who picked a few things up without putting them in their cart?

Because I sure don't.

Midwest small talk is something to be cherished. I remember growing up having pleasant conversations with people. Moving west I found that conversations are more like a combative 1-upping of each other. It gets tiring listening.
I don't think they were talking about Jordan or Kobe specifically. There does seem to be a kind of seductive lie (not just in black communities) that sports or other long shots are a viable career path for the dedicated kid. Where I grew up, there were plenty of kids who believed they would be famous basketball players one day as a matter of fact, skaters who believed a fat sponsorship was in reach if they just got that kick flip down tight, even culinary artists who think they can join the ranks of the rich by catering their private dinners.

It's probably the same with startups -- most startups fail, mine included, but either we delude ourselves into thinking that it's just a matter of putting in enough effort, or we are in situations where we really can't see any other option to escape the gravity well of our situations. Not so far off from someone obsessively playing ball to try to get out, except for the broader applicability of the skills gained if the long shot doesn't pay off.
If most of human height growth occurs in the first 20 years of life, that's about 200 microns per 24 hours. Can you measure that accurately? What sort of fluctuating errors would be introduced by for example, temperature and hydration?

>isn't that a result of your relationship with your isp?

Any ISP is allowed to sniff and manipulate packets, so this isn't just about my ISP -- it's the server's ISP as well as any entities in-between.

Even if I did (assuming that I reasonably could!) change my ISP, that's changing only one of the potentially many hostile actors.

>why wouldn't you use a vpn

That would require me to trust the connection between the VPN and the server.

Plus, then I would need to buy a VPN subscription :) Just serve HTTPS!

I think you're conflating _consensus_ and _governance_; the two are quite different. It's not PoW vs PoS that allows a chain to resist a coordinated attempt by elites to force a protocol change, it's users personally verifying the chain (and so automatically rejecting chains that violate the rules even if >51% of PoW/PoS nodes support those chains). So no, PoS is not "how our current financial system works". Our current financial system doesn't give people the ability to independently verify anything at all; it's even worse than the most centralized chains in that regard.

I would actually say PoS is more resistant to cabals and regulatory systems than PoW; PoW mining requires huge and visible capital investments and electricity consumption and it's incredibly easy for governments to detect and shut down miners in their own countries (not as true for GPU mining, but GPU-friendliness is difficult to sustain long term), whereas you can be a PoS validator with the most basic computer hardware from anywhere.

SEG Plaza evacuation: Shaking China skyscraper sends shoppers fleeing
It's on your hospital servers. Or in your hospital closets, depending on where you live. In my country you're supposed to have a small medical book with all relevant informations. Now, it doesn't work, so: your public healthcare is tied to an hospital, and your private healthcare... Who knows. What I can tell you is that a lot of effort is going towards data sharing between hospitals (in data vaults) in my country and that medical data is probably my most protected data.
A simpler explanation.

Spot on! A close friend might respond with something like "oh really, how do you find the time between work and <insert other things>" or "nice, are you taking classes or using some resources online?" and continue from there. The style where one responds with "nice, now switch back to MY story!" is natural only in some parts of US or superficial work relationships...

If such models condition all humans to converse like that then the future is even more lonely, despite us all being connected all the time.

They only tried it on a version of the 3060, and they accidentally released a driver without LHR.
My unfounded speculation is that the 3060Ti limiter (which was mostly bypassed due to an accidental leak of dev drivers) acted as a bit of a test balloon to see how it would be attacked before implementing it on the 3070/3080 silicon.

This is a really powerful use-case! If you saw Alex Gaynor's election tracker[1] during the US 2020 elections, it's exactly how it worked. Actions scraped the NYT election results.json, and a static site on GH pages rendered the data, XHRing the scraped JSON out of the repo periodically.

There's no GraphQL backend yet! We've only done HTTP and SQL backends so far. If your GQL query is simple enough, you might be able to squeak by with an HTTP flat action whose target is https://your.site/graphql?query=whatever ?

I mean on HN you really do see a very anti-cruise ship sentiment whenever the topic comes up. They are really really wasteful and worse than commercial ships since they pollute the very water people want to visit for its beauty.

I wouldn’t really be all that upset to see them banned but there’s no momentum for it. Crypto just happens to be really visible to a lot of people who see no personal benefit for its existence.
Another idea would be to require breaches to be made public.

And of course, the government coordinating with good companies a series of best practices and models, and working with MS, even Linux versions to help get the message out and implement good policy.

Like a 'tiered strategy' for home, small biz., mid biz. and 'high touch enterprise'.

Basically some kind of 'board' that exist to help train, coordinate and communicate the things that need to be done.
I misunderstood your point initially, but yes I agree. In a chess puzzle that was constructed yes it is meta-knowledge. But in the course of a normal game it is not. Importantly this meta-knowledge is not strictly required in either situation.

The distinction in my mind, was that the meta-knowledge here is not about the game of chess, but about the opponent. In the case of the puzzle this is meta-knowledge that the puzzle designer gave you a hint. In the case of Nakamura's game, his meta-knowledge is information about his opponent (the chess engine) and the heuristics it uses.

Chess engines only see the board state (at least to my knowledge), while humans have some kind of information about their opponent, or the history that lead to that board state. Humans have extra information, and sometimes that information is exploitable.

While the premise of the article is sickening, I'd take opinion articles from WSJ with a big grain of salt. Their general reporting tends to be somewhat neutral, but their opinion articles tend to be invasively slanted and spun.
What if it doesn't make you understand Bitcoin, but rather it makes you see your mind with its fears and wonders. And it makes you think about society and people around you. And it makes you realize that they're all just as fearful, following each other like a flock of birds. And it makes you realize that you can be the leader of the giant flock that is humanity, because anyone can.

Medical psychedelics will be the new cool thing over the coming years because people who were forever told it's dangerous and forbidden want to believe and there are charlatans who give them what they desire. What grows wild all over the world and could be picked by anyone with a willingness to learn will be turned into an industry for the mindless. Just like marijuana.

Interesting, is not an official product from Github, but I love the idea and they being upfront about their inspiration from Simon, a really interesting person to follow, I love his investment in Datasette, SQLite utils and Django.

The thing about Git Scrapping, although I think the idea is awesome, I thought It was against Github Actions rules, or at the very least being on the edge. So I don't know what the position from Github is about this as this is not an official thing from them, but this gives me positive vibes.

But at scale you need lots of nodes/computational power and therefore lots of money. It doesn’t really make a difference whether you buy graphics cards in a pow world or ethereum in a pos world, you need lots of capital to be influential.

Now if we could make it Proof of Human, one vote, one person, non-transferable, that would be true distributed consensus. Even then you would get people buying votes with advertising as we see today in “normal” elections.
> Fans only need to run during intense use and the system can be quiet the rest of the time.

This is a bigger deal than it might seem. Fans running means that dust is accumulating in the machine at an accelerated rate, even if you have filters in place. The less the fans have to run, the less dust accumulates, and the longer cooling functions near-peak. A tower that sees sporadic heavy usage especially stand to benefit from fan minimization.
Proof of work is currently controlled by 3 companies in terms of hashpower and 1 in terms of hardware - Bitmain.

I agree with everything you said, and at the same time, holding those beliefs early in my career held me back immensely.

Since he became CEO, the company has gone up 234%. The S&P500 has gone up 101%.

But Microsoft went up 364%, Apple went up 320%, And Amazon went up 420%.

So if you're just looking at market performance, while he outpaced the S&P500, he underperformed his biggest competitors.
If he has, he will have exported mutual assets($) to buy them. Examine account statements back 3 years and look for $ exports where a corresponding asset was not acquired. It could even be $1000-5000 a month starting 3-4 years ago??
This means trackability of all wages etc as to their disposition.
If he started 3 years ago and saved $10,000 it could easily be $100,000 now??
As a musician with tons of peripherals, some of which are annoyingly sensitive and can't be used through hubs or anything but straight-through adapters (my turntable mixer's digital interface, for example), I welcome the return of the ports. Its not uncommon to have an audio interface, one or more midi controllers, the aforementioned mixer all connected for instance. And basically all of those things still use USB-B ports for whatever reason, and I never see USB-B to C cables ever.
Same here! I was reasonably confident that Git scraping was within the boundaries of GitHub Actions supported use-cases but it did always feel a little bit on the edge, this is fantastic confirmation that it's a supported technique.
It’s like Spectre all over again. Just as many of the CPU performance gains of the last 25 years turned out to be based on taking insecure shortcuts, perhaps we will find many of the economic gains of the information economy are founded on similarly insecure practices.

Maybe handling data at scale is unaffordable for most businesses, who rely on those shortcuts, and wouldn’t be profitable if they had to hire competent infosec staff.
> Crypto applications promise to provide disintermediation on a scale not seen before.

They don't. All of "disentermidation" immediately turns around and restores all the institutions based on, you know, trust.

Yup. Until you pay for something, and that something never arrives.

> (if my fave rental car is available book it, otherwise search for another solution, but only from these sources at this price)

Literally nothing prevents you from doing it right now, with existing technologies... Oh, wait. All rental car companies are closed to any integrations of any kind. Smart contracts will do literally nothing in this scenario.

Besides. If I go and rent a car from, say, Hertz, I get a contract written in plain language. It may be a little obtuse, but I can read and understand it. Smart contracts on the other hand are written in obscure esoteric programmming languages. Good luck telling people "don't worry, you won't be scammed out of your money because it has 'smart' and 'crypto' in it".
3090 availability is relatively good at the moment.
Real estate's different, obviously, especially in this market. It's not the same when time actually is a factor.

Salespeople pull this crap with all kinds of things that don't really have any actual time-pressure on them, though. Home remodeling, various services, unremarkable (that is: not unique or highly in-demand) cars. In fact, "we're running a special that'll get you 10% off if you sign today" is usually a strong indicator that I can ask for 15-20% off tomorrow and get it. If that kind of salesperson offers you a "deal" unprompted, then that "deal" is actually their price for suckers. I hate that kind of thing, don't like being manipulated, and don't like it when scummy salespeople win. So I'll either look somewhere else or take that newfound knowledge and ask for something better than the "special", on my own timeline, not the salesperson's.
