- barefoot shoes (brands: vivobarefoot and mukishoes). I could write a long rave now about barefoot shoes but I'll try to keep it short: No more knee pains after long walks, every time I go out the amount of sensations is pure joy and a powerful mindfulness experience.

- A used Garmin Forerunner 920XT. It's a pretty old model but it still works well for many different sport types. That was great when I did triathlons, then focused on running with the advanced HR and now I mostly use it as an alarm clock that doesn't wake the kids. Battery lasts forever.

- Kindle. I'm a "physical book" person and I'm not a fan of the Amazon lock-in but I got one for my birthday and my reading has exploded. It makes my reading just so much more accessible.
Yeah, I prefer threadreaderapp over Twitter's native UI for reading long threads all day everyday, but don't find the native one difficult to read.

My only complaint is when the thread is long, Twitter will start not showing it all at once. You have to click the last tweet to see anything after it.

But again, threadreaderapp itself also has trouble to feed all the parts of a super long thread.
Seems more like an attempted air gap :facepalm:
I think the insinuation with "parking space", in regards to money at least, is that it's long term. Even with this week, BTC has been an incredibly profitable place to park money this year, and every year before that. There is not a single person on the planet that has lost money by parking their money on Bitcoin. The only people that have lost have sold.
And I couldn't be bothered to read your post about the first post and decided that I would write a comment about the meta-commentator-creator ceiling. Now I just need a way to monetize my comments...
I think what GP is trying to say here is that they haven't needed to think about OR-ing in such low-level terms: they could just do it without worrying about the underlying theory and implementation.
Consequences have to actually happen though. I don't see much evidence of that. They'll probably make an example out of the few most flagrant fraudsters but doing that basically screams "we don't care about the fraud as long as it's tactful".

Without consequences for the subtle fraudsters it just becomes a big-dig style feeding trough for the morally bankrupt which is the last thing we should be spending our tax dollars providing.

It depends how much circuit optimization you consider to be cheating.

The hard part of Shor's algorithm is computing `pow(g, e, modulus=N)` where g is a uniformly random number, e is a uniformly superposed number, and N is the number you want to factor. But note that 15 is one less than a power of 2, so modular arithmetic mod 15 can use special circuits that are surprisingly efficient. Since it's easy to check if a number is one less than a power of 2, there's no obstacle to using this optimization on a "real" problem. On the other hand, most products of two primes aren't one less than a power of 2 and so this case is absurdly rare. So is using the more optimized circuit allowed or isn't it?

It get so much worse. In [1] it's shown that, if you know the factors behind a factoring problem of any size, you can derive constant sized quantum circuits that "solve it". Basically, you can force Shor's algorithm into a trivial corner case and then implement the corner case. For all intents and purposes this makes the quantum computer irrelevant. E.g. I used this result for an April fool's post where I "factored" the largest number ever "with" a quantum computer [2].

The other problem with Shor's algorithm on small cases is that as soon as you get a "correct" output from the quantum part the following classical part will succeed. But for small cases there are too few possible outputs. Even if the quantum computer is totally broken and generating random noise, the algorithm will still succeed pretty quickly. So you need to define success as some kind of noise metric to beat, instead of as actually solving the problem.

Here is maybe something that will answer the intent of your question. I haven't checked on this particular chip, but from experience with running things on various quantum computers and from the numbers in the data sheet, I can confidently say that this chip will struggle to count to 10 before suffering an error. A 4-qubit increment circuit is going to use at least 10 two-qubit gates [3], you need to increment 10 times, and the listed two qubit gate error rates are around 1%. So presumably the success rate is going to be on the order of (99%)^(10*10) ~= 35%.

ErgoDox EZ. I got one at the recommendation of a friend who has battled serious carpal tunnel over the last five years. He said this keyboard changed his outlook and made him a solid 2x faster when developing in vim.

Relatively high learning curve when you first get started. You have to get used to a split keyboard and all of the custom modifier keys you have added alongside the bezel.

But once you spend some time with it: it's incredible. You can customize the entire keyboard layout and add multiple layers on top of the default one. Pressing different modifiers can change your whole keyboard layout - I have a separate one for my IDE, browser, etc. After a few weeks, my posture improved and I was much happier with the mechanical keys.
The non-profit can still have rules in place on who is accepted as members and who isn't, as long as the rules don't break any laws (discrimination etc.). They also can have a mission statement and rules that are not up for vote. They can have members enter a contract with the non-profit when joining as a member.

Also, depending on who's "taking over" and who's "taken over", it can be argued that if the majority of members that provide the majority of the funding to the non-profit, shaping the non-profit according to the majority of its members is the right thing to do. If there's too much differences in opinion, the non-profit can also split any time.

There exists a need to support the old and frail. Chronological age is an easier metric to use than to leave value judgements up to whoever is going to be determining if someone qualifies.

It's also money that I as a taxpayer put into the system and will get ~70% of my contributions back. Your welfare state is my government forced retirement plan with negative returns.

A guitar. And then three more guitars. Never having held a guitar in my life before, I picked one up last September as a way to help keep me sane over Minnesota COVID winter, and I've completely fallen in love with playing guitar.

The worst is when lots of people each reply "unroll thread!" to a thread. So much noise and junk.
Unlike POWER[1] and Itanium, you can very easily pick up ARM systems for experimenting with. That means there's way less of a burden to experimenting with new architecture. There's also ARM based Chromebooks and all sorts of devices, and you can also get ARM based servers for pennies per hour.

ARM's dominance in the cell phone market means it is ample popular enough, got lots of eyes on it, and increasing amounts of software is picking up dedicated optimisations for it.

I'm not sure what else you're really expecting. The hardware is there. The software is there. Very likely you could switch to ARM without noticing.

[1] Last time I mentioned this to someone involved in POWER architecture, they told me there were going to be cheap POWER based systems coming out to meet the "home hackers" market. I'm not paying particularly close attention, but I haven't seen anything yet?

They don't. Every now and then Apple breaks mac applications like they're nothing. Microsoft used to care about this to an almost heroic extent but that's history. I literally can't play some old games on Windows 10 without troubleshooting stupid DirectX DLL errors. Ironically that game just worked on Linux.

Agreed. I think people are already forgetting how frantic the first few months of the pandemic were, despite the fact that it was only a year ago. Governments around the world were placed in a no-win situation: they could do nothing and be criticized for allowing the economy to tank and causing mass unemployment, or they could throw together programs in a hurry without time to build safeguards around them deciding to fix it later. The latter was the right approach, in my opinion.

Here in Canada, we have a national unemployment benefits program (Employment Insurance, or EI). Like most such programs around the world, it was wholly unprepared for the volume of applications due to the March/April 2020 lockdowns. So, the federal government introduced the CERB (Canada Emergency Response Benefit), which was a flat $2000 monthly payment offered to anyone who attested they met the eligibility criteria. There was no verification because there wasn't time to put such a system in place without unacceptably delaying release of benefits. Of course, there was plenty of fraud, which the Canada Revenue Agency (Canadian equivalent of the IRS) is in the process of investigating and cracking down on after the fact.

IMO, this was exactly the right approach: time was absolutely of the essence. Get the money out, deal with the fraudsters later.
I hired a Tesla Model 3 for a week last summer and it was fantastic. But overkill for our needs: we've achieved that dream with a used Spark EV. Far less range than any Tesla (130 km EPA new rating), but more than adequate for our needs. We charge it once a week at home overnight and go about 30-60 km/week around town. Living in the Bay Area means we've got access to DCFC everywhere we want to go outside of SF as well.

Even inexpensive 1st gen EVs are more than ready for most people to use as a city car or second car, and most people would have no need for a petrol car at all if they had a Tesla or Bolt or any modern long range EV. I can see the lack of maintenance being very disruptive to car dealerships in the long term.

I bought a few of them to try them out and I'm disappointed currently. I tried to make them switch temperature automatically through the day, and nothing is working. I've only found people saying that there's no way without custom scripts that attempt to change the temperature continuously, which is very surprising. (I've only done an hour of research and tried around 3 different methods).

Only one of the lights, which uses a dimmer switch, changes automatically, but only if I turn it off and on again.

Other than that, the quality of the light is good.
For as long as I can remember there has been the capability to sign jars. So you can detect tampering, though not prevent it.
It's almost like everyone else is working together to create the actual de facto standard and Tesla can join or stay out in the cold. If one company is doing X and a lot of other companies are collectively doing Y then X is not the standard...
At junior/intermediate level, sure. At Senior/Expert/Lead, not so much, people do stay very long time. I certainly work surrounded by people who have been at the same company for 10,15,20, 25+ years(I have a guy on my team who has been here for 27 years!).

I mean, I get what they're trying to say - I've personally had to deal with computers running all sorts of unwanted adware. But it still rustles my jimmies when a security system decides I'm too dumb for my own good and I have to jump through hoops to do things Apple doesn't personally approve of.

For example, there's an app called AltStore that enables iOS sideloading, using the developer account access Apple provides to self-sign an IPA. If you want to sideload, this is your best bet, unless you have an older phone that can be jailbroken on the latest iOS. However, in order to actually get at your developer self-signing key, AltStore needs your iCloud password, which is enough access to completely wipe all of your iPhones. I am basically trusting Riley Testut and Riley Testut alone not to pwn me.

The thing is, Apple used to have app-specific passwords specifically to deal with build tools and other things that need your developer key. However, as far as I can tell that was disabled. (at least for people who don't have active App Store developer registrations.) So AltStore has to grab actual user credentials. This is a situation where Apple's own attempts at security have actually backfired: they don't want people sideloading anything, so they make using developer accounts outright painful. Which means that I need to hand over my whole iCloud account (or, if a jailbreak is available, just outright exploit my phone/tablet) just to use emulators Apple doesn't like.

(There's other odd restrictions on free accounts, BTW - for example, free developer accounts can't install VPN apps at all, presumably so that people in China can't evade the App Store VPN ban by sideloading a VPN app.)
I'm in this juxtaposition where I love that PCs are open, particularly when using FOSS, but use an iPhone.

I accept the risk in return for the openness of my PC.

I have zero passion for mobile devices though and find the iOS experience to be less nonsense.

There are many ways we could have routed money back to businesses without using the byzantine process defined by the SBA.

This system benefitted banks at the expense of taxpayers, just like the last financial crisis.

One fairer approach would have been to just refund everybody's 2019 federal income taxes and let the market figure out how to use it. Instead, we propped up a bunch of businesses that failed anyway. But hey, the banks got a percentage.

Edit:

To add a disclaimer: I run two companies which each received both PPP loans. I benefitted. My employees benefitted. I still think it would have been fairer to give that money to individuals and not to business owners like myself.

Also, there is no reason we would have had to stop at refunding income taxes. That is just something that should have been ridiculously easy for the IRS to do quickly.
I don't see why that's a problem. Airplanes have a lifespan of 30 years.

> It's not as if you can set up competing parallel networks running trains side by side between identical destinations at varying levels of speed and comfort.

To an extent, this does exist on some routes. Both LNER and Grand Central operate trains up the East Coast Main Line, for example. Then there are destinations served by multiple routes, like Cambridge, Oxford, and Bedford, where each route has its own operator.

Competition is impractical for most journeys, though.

I'm on the market for a pair of decent camping/hiking shoes/boots. I had been planning on getting some REI pair, but you've got me curious about these. It seems odd to me that something that claims to be thin and let you feel things would be good for hiking. Can you elaborate on that? I think I would want protection from rocks and stuff, so it seems bad for that?

They were such a game changer for me. I used to be a big “audiophile” and spent more than I’d care to admit on headphones.

AirPod pros sound very good. Not as good as a really good audio setup, but good enough for pretty much everyone out there. The noise cancelling is really good. And best of all they are so comfortable.

Idk if I’m gonna have some weird cancer in 40 years from wearing these all the time, but I love them so much.

Not at all, emulators are also a way to keep old games alive.

>A few lines down in your link you have this: "At about Mach 2, a typical wing design will cut its L/D ratio in half (e.g., Concorde managed a ratio of 7.14, whereas the subsonic Boeing 747 has an L/D ratio of 17)".

That is literally proving my point. Thanks for agreeing with me?

>Sure, at trans-sonic speeds the coefficient of drag is horrible, but a supersonic commercial jet doesn't spend more than the minimum time necessary in that speed range.

And the wave drag is still bad even at supersonic speeds. The planes still have to spend a significant amount of time subsonic (take off, approach, landing, etc.) even if it's minimalized, it's still a significant amount.

>What's more, improvements are possible even for the trans-sonic range. The planned Concorde B was projected to have dramatic fuel consumption improvement of 25% at Mach 1.2 [1].

Still worse than subsonic at that time. Since then, subsonic, high bypass engine design has made that gap even wider.

So still, no, it's a matter of physics.
