Of course it does. Not much US oil usage, of course, because US uses oil extracted domestically. And most of China's carbon emissions come from burning coal not oil, and almost all of that coal is mined domestically.

But Saudi should not get a free pass either, and should be made to pay for its profiteering from carbon pollution along with all other people, corporations, and countries accordingly.
Great analysis, thank you!

Agree. Strongly dislike this American sentiment of self victimisation. If you are born in USA you are not poor. If you are born in USA and work in tech, you are not poor even relative to other Americans.

You are assuming the point you are trying to prove: that von Neumann was unjustified in advocating for these things.
Maybe he was just smarter than you (and me) and just had a really good argument for believing those things, given the state of the world at the time and his various priors.

Also, humans have created thousands of different and highly contradictory systems of morality over the past several thousand years. You would probably be better off not believing that you have discovered the Correct Theory of Morality.

"Dogmas" are pretty much never disproven. (Technically, outside of mathematics, they can't be.)

Science is a long process of lots of people looking at lots of data and coming up with different explanations to make sense of it all. Some of these explanations make more sense than others, but it's pretty much guaranteed that even the experts won't be able to agree on which ones. As new data and new generations of researchers emerge, the explanations evolve, consolidate, and sometimes are discarded again. In short: science is a mess of opinions, gradually moving along.

If you want to get a feel for what that looks like in practice, have a look at this blog post about diverging opinions in ecology: https://dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2018/04/30/poll-results... (Most of the hypotheses he explores are current "textbook knowledge"!)
Interesting citation, I had heard of John Bell's theorem, which disproves local hidden variable theories.
But I did not know that von Neumann had his own attempt at disproving these theories.
Researching this a little further, I also found people arguing that von Neumanns arguments were misconstrued by Bell.
https://arxiv.org/abs/1006.0499
I wonder how Grete Hermann's arguments compare to the arguments from Bell and what the real truth is.
No. I think that dumb people deserve good lives as well, having policies that only works for non dumb people is dumb.
Disclaimer: I use Elixir in production (e.g. here on the French national transport data hub https://transport.data.gouv.fr/?locale=en), but I also like other tools (Ruby, Rust, Crystal etc).

My impression is that some (not all) people had a bad experience partly because they may have reached for Elixir at a period where everything wasn't "settled" (a bit too young). The "first vague of hype" generated some libraries which are now unmaintained (e.g. oauth2), and some parts are still rough (XML, I look at you).

Having upgraded a number of old apps, though, I find that library quality has gone up, the overall developer (and maintainer) experience has improved, and there is a sense of stability which will have a real impact I believe.

There is a need to reach a larger critical mass I believe to really enjoy things in full, but as far as I am concerned, I would be perfectly confident to build my next SaaS on top of it.

It depends what kind of market you think it is. The fact is there's no economic fundamental supporting the value of Bitcoin, so it's value is just whatever speculators are willing to pay at any given time.

There's a lot of correlation between them as they're all riding the same "cryptocurrency" wave.

In fact I think you could turn that into a partial numerical measure of the crypto market. In a mature market where "cryptocurrenciness" is mostly just a fact of life, they ought to be less correlated as they have independent lives of some sort. (They'll never be completely uncorrelated, of course, since the whole market is correlated to some degree.) Right now it's still enough of a novelty that the mere fact of cryptocurrenciness is a big percentage of the appeal of a given cryptocurrency.

Wow, that's a lot of negativity. You forgot to disclose your XMPP/XSF affiliation, btw.

Matrix as a protocol is neither bloated or slow, and ~32.1M folks have managed to use it successfully, directly or indirectly, as a global chat network. Presumably that counts as a 'large network'; it's certainly bigger than Freenode.

Synapse as an implementation has historically been bloated, but it's been steadily improving (and in fact last week's Matrix Live has a fascinating analysis of how the remaining memory usage is being fixed: https://youtu.be/694VuhmVmfo). Meanwhile implementations like Dendrite & Conduit are positively skinny.
The same thing happened to me on Bittrex for two years. The requirements of the photo holding the paper are asinine (one looking at the camera, one facing right, one facing left) and then they rejected the photos because "my elbows did not show". Next they will ask me to record a video of myself doing some silly dance for their amusement I guess.

As soon as I regained access all took all my shitcoins and moved them to a wallet for which I have the key.

Centralized exchanges suck, they are completely against the principles of Cryptocurrencies.
Oh, I meant why "real" pay isn't done - why they are paid a pittance.
The photo of you holding a photo ID is standard practice these days. Afaik, everyone creating an account has to do that, and apparently it applies to old accounts as well. It's because CoinBase is trying to be fully legal/compliant with US law. Plus, they're FDIC insured.
Your JSON API, once you pull your web app usage and all the special end points for it out, should be pretty regular and not a ton of code. So the actual amount of duplication cam be low, and your API engineer will be bored and happy. :)

As far as I'm aware, visual scripting runs into one of two unavoidable problems:

1) Either it is very limited in scope. This is probably most of the times where it can be applicable, but that also makes it unsuitable for building anything complicated. In times like 3d material builders (IMO where visual scripting shines) this can be an extremely powerful and useful feature. But in times like say, game programming, I think it leads people down the garden path because oftentimes where it's not super limited scope it runs into...

2) Greater complexity than just learning to code. In both, you need to formulate logic, but usually visual scripting languages that are genuinely powerful cannot be abstracted sufficiently or you run into 1. This monolith then grows and grows until you end up with something like Construct 3 which is super complicated. The time used to learn how to do things in it would be better used learning how to do things in a traditional scripting language. You also lose all of the benefits of visual scripting - the timesave.

In the US, while less broadly true today, poor has often been associated with urban. And basketball is probably easier in an urban environment than soccer/football, at least with anything approaching a standard playing field. It's also just never been a very popular US sport although at some point, it became mildly popular among the suburban soccer mom demographic, among others, for various reasons.

Except that most of the time that means nothing in practice.

Just look at the GME saga and you have customers liquidated, customers not being able to buy, some not even able to sell. And on top of that the CEO of Interactive Brokers setting a target price for the stock.

All this so that few highly leveraged hedge funds can get away from the short squeeze cheaper along with their lender/broker.

It's highly unlikely the people pushing crypto as a source of 2% monthly bank-like return have reliable information about these products and far more likely that the "risk/reward" rules of economics do in fact apply and that these accounts should be avoided due to the high risk.

The problem is compounded by the fact that people have every incentive to astro turf this technology to promote a get rich quick bubble. So the people claiming these accounts are safe may be lying. I would go so far as to say only a pyramid scheme can offer 2% monthly returns on a technology asset that produces nothing and has no inherent value.
Thread implementation is not great:

What an absolutely dumb comment.
As an outside observer, who has no crypto holdings at all, but is very deeply invested in the public stock market with a heavy weight on technology stocks... this doesn't look like a crash to me at all. It just looks like some steam being let off and old investors cash out and new investors get more comfortable with how much and where to invest.

I consider crypto currency as it is to be an elaborate Ponzi scheme (personal view), but even with that cynicism nothing about this dip looks unhealthy to me. (I have views on what ultimately happens, but I will hold back on that)

> The beauty of JEE

Only a person who did well in JEE would say this. You talk about disadvantages for rural students. This is important, because the vast majority of people in India live in villages or small towns, not the big cities. Tell me though, how many students from villages and small towns do well in JEE without moving to a coaching centre in a bigger town?

Personal anecdotes aside, you'll find that urban students are disproportionately represented in the top engineering institutes. There are some rural students certainly, but not like the 80% you'd expect if the system was truly egalitarian. You rail against the possibility of some students getting ahead because of advantages other than academic performance, but fail to consider that the current system is also based on the lottery of birth.

Modifying client code (especially with an addon you do not control) and then complaining to the original code owner when functionality stop working is wrong.

Analytics and ads are annoying, I get it. However if you use an automated script to clear them out, be aware that some things might brake.

If Ublock Origin devs think they need to replace GA with a dummy to stop tracking they should've put a copy of the original interface with empty functions into it so the flow doesn't throw exceptions when the app tries to use it thinking everything's fine. Those scripts are publicly available and aren't a secret.
Raspberry Pis are one part. You take it out of the box and put a memory card in. Have you ever put one together? There is no mismatching. You can buy the official power supply or an unofficial one, but 5v with 3a is not exactly IRQ configuration.

Have you ever used a NUC? Thermals are a big concern. They usually throttle heavily out of the box and need a lot of configuration in the bios to stop Intel's "turbo boost" as well as get them to throttle at a higher temperature. Even then they will usually run much better with their case off.

I think both are cool devices, but the things you are saying about the pi are bizarre and makes me think you haven't actually put one together.
