I think you need to research more. A computer is actually a heater that is 100% efficient. If you actually "waste electricity" to do useless computation, you still get 100% efficient heat output. 1000W of electricity pumped through your cpu is outputting 1000W of heat as well. Maybe imagine if your logic gates in your computer is water powered. You could still drink the water after it did it's computation.

The solution for the excess supply issue is energy storage, not mining bitcoin. I've worked in clean energy for years, and no energy expert is advocating digital currency mining + increased energy production as a method for meeting demand peaks.
First, this is not true. I live in a country in Europe and I paid a wealth tax today, in fact.

Second, please re-read my comment above as to why you might have understood that.
Security is only as good as the weakest link. If you send an email to a non-ProtonMail address, then it is sent as normal emails are: no security but maybe some encryption in transit if you're lucky.

You can either get your recipient to get their own ProtonMail account (for free!), or use a protocol that was designed respecting security and privacy in the first place i.e. don't use any email service.

You can in theory get transparent pgp e2ee using two MUAs on separate PM accounts communicating with PM via PM Bridge. But it's simpler/easier to just use their web front end. No configuration/installation of MUA or Bridge required. At least this way you don't end up with a plaintext copy sitting in your MUA's outbox. In essence the encryption is applied one hop too late (by the Bridge) if you're concerned about the security of your client endpoint or filesystem.

I created this spreadsheet to show that the difference is pretty trivial IFF you ever cash out (<2% over 10 years).

However, a lot of people:

1) never plan to cash out.

2) know that tax rates are fickle and plan for a day when there will be extremely low tax rates - just like for companies to "repatriate" their profits - and hope that they can in the future realize with little-to-no profits (although, I doubt capital gains tax rates will go much lower, and might actually go MUCH higher).

Anyway - the difference before you realize is >13% over 10 years (and the higher the rate of return is, the bigger the difference - it's >17% with a 10% per year return, which is historically average for the extremely wealthy according to Piketty).

Here's the sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dZ6h0s2lZBp0fM6Z2w1K...

This strategy isn't really popular unless you have a networth of greater >$20M. It's particularly attractive, because you get $40k in untaxed capital gains per year - which is roughly what you need to pay the interest on your "borrowed" / "pretend unrealized" capital gains. And, the added benefit is, the interest IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE!
> However, I don't pretend to be immune to that dark corner of human psychology.

I honestly don't think I have that impulse, and I know other people who don't seem to either. It's always disturbing when I see my peers turning into a mob.
But neither Roth nor Traditional 401k/403b/457/IRA are subject to capital gains tax.

Except that its not. Did you actually read the article?
Great summary and sensible conclusion. The problem is much of the NYT and ProPublica writing are wrapped in sensationalism and start from an extreme left position on the subject.

I'm totally supportive of "taxing the uber wealthy"... But govt needs to take the long approach on this. Eventually, people die and inheritance kicks in. That's where these generational mega wealth transfers that don't do much good for society can be mitigated.

The document leak probably has a banal explanation. Some insider with access to the documents...
That's an interesting thought. However, inconsistency in propaganda is real if you consider embellishments can differ greatly. The key is to control the conversation. You can easily censor an RPG chat, for example, to the same effect
Are there even any consumer line pickups sold today that come with a 2 door cab?
I avoid progressive jargon when talking on HN. It's actually kind of a useful exercise to be able to address the concepts directly but concisely without the vocabulary.

It does mean I lose access to a lot of the background support. Jargon, in every field, brings in a whole wealth of connected concepts and helps you communicate precisely. But some words get "skunked" (overloaded with confusing, contradictory, or pejorative meanings), and I avoid them when I think I won't be understood.

I don't fool myself into thinking I'm actually persuading anybody. The best I can hope for is a vague notion that somebody might remember that they read something once. And that works best if I'm not automatically downvoted -- which I know I will be if some people reject it out of hand.
Matt Levine's summary in his current newsletter is this:

"So at some point the company looked for ways to make this insane business model work, and it found one. It’s pretty simple: What if MoviePass collected your $10 each month and then, when you asked it for movie tickets, it ignored you? Then it could keep collecting your $10 a month without spending money on tickets. Eventually you’d get annoyed by not getting what you paid for, and you’d try to cancel your membership and get your money back, but MoviePass could ignore that too and keep collecting the $10. Giving people unlimited movie tickets for $10 a month is a good way to get rapid customer growth; telling people you’ll give them unlimited movie tickets for $10 a month, but not actually doing it, is a way to pivot to profitability."

And the way they ignored you was even worse - changing the passwords on their highest volume users.

Anyway, it's a great read. Subscribe, it is a fantastic free newsletter. Past awesome coverage included the RobinHood stock hijinks. (Bloomberg's Money Stuff newsletter, sub here: https://www.bloomberg.com/account/newsletters/money-stuff)
This has been demonstrated feasible! We can all be similarly poor together.
I don't think those are the important differences.

It's been a while since I've read the Swarm documentation, but it was fairly comprehensive from what I remember. If you're referring to this tutorial[1], note that you don't need to use a cloud provider, and you can also do it with local VMs.

Actually you don't even need a cluster of machines. While Swarm can easily scale out, you can get started with a single machine and figure out the clustering later. Even on a single machine there are benefits of using Swarm over plain Docker (Compose): stacks, secrets, advanced networking. So you can test it out there and add more machines as you need it.

One thing I'd suggest is to first get familiar with Docker itself, since Swarm simply builds on these concepts and adds orchestration. Use `docker run`, understand volumes, images, permissions, user namespaces, cgroups, etc. Then move on to Docker Compose and get familiar with the configuration, services, etc. And then finally pick up Swarm, which even uses the same Docker Compose configuration file (with slight variations), so it should be fairly straightforward at that point.

Though honestly, learning Swarm in 2021 might not be a good investment, since Kubernetes is clearly the market leader, and I wouldn't be surprised to read a sunset notice about it, even though Docker Inc. is still supporting it. So you're probably making a good decision to stick with k8s.

Good luck!

I did when shrooms (fresh) were legal in the 2000s. Used to buy them in Mayfair.

Shrooms on a bendy bus... wow
Wow, thanks for the detailed note of support. I agree with all of the above.
Man, MDing shrooms just makes me super lethargic and sleepy
Why not just legalize them completely?
This is a really cool project. When I worked at Uber, the team built a custom release train called Metro, automating as much as possible, integrating with various internal tools and touchpoints. It worked really well: except if you want this, you need to build it yourself.

When I researched my book Building Mobile Apps at Scale [1], the best advice I could give for large teams and release trains is… maybe build one yourself? Given I didn’t know of any products that would work from medium to large teams.

It’s great to see someone tackling this problem space. You should talk with Uber’s mobile platform for some hard-learned lessons when building Metro.

To work remotely, there are certain requirements on the life pyramid that need to be fulfilled.

It starts by living on a country whose technology infrastructure makes it possible at all.

Then it follows on how much the tier 1 customers are willing to pay to their offshored devs, with the race to the bottom on the dollar per hour rate.

There is also the culture of the country, if programming is seen as a servant job only used as stepping stone for a real job, or if it is seen as master of universe Silicon Valley style.

Working as software developer is privilege, not seen through the same lens across the world.
Good point. Another hypothesis then: The real problem is the ad-driven "curation" that selects for drama and outrage to keep users "engaged" so they stay on the site for longer to view more ads.

This would explain why "social media" like FB and Twitter are so much worse than their predecessors (blogs, forums, email, sms, ...). All of the previous media could be bad too, but this is different.
Usually most companies are okay if you have titles or names like “X for Netflix”. Some even explicitly state that they prefer that. It’s also a rule on the Apple App Stores that you can’t have a name like “Netflix X” to avoid confusion.
Yeah there is, the video chat is not P2P, everyone uses the SFU model where all your media goes through daily's server, so they have to pay for the instances and the bandwidth
The title even disagrees with your statement. And this research is entirely focused on student anxiety. "Forced output" is what the claim is against.

Even more specifically these studies are focused on beginning students (i.e. 1st term students), so it is even less applicable once you have some level of experience with the language.

There is even a section on "How to promote speaking fluency". He is 100% not advocating to avoid speaking, but it talking about how speaking is a lagging indicator of proficiency.

Speaking requires the integration of language skills, so it will always lag behind other language skills. That does not mean it should be avoided.

The Defense Language Institute (DLI) even formally recognizes in its graduation requirements. The standard is 2 Listening/2 Reading/1+ Speaking indicating that speaking skills will generally lag behind reading and listening skills by 1/2 a level.
no, but for sure you have to take in account the amount of buildings, air-conditioning, commuters, datacenters, branches, ATMs, bad written code, exchanges. Beside that, Bitcoin probably after the 21 million were mined, should drop the energy consumption (ok, ok, it will take almost 100 years to happen), but it means that in long term, bitcoin will be consuming much less energy than now. Probably impossible to compare apples x apples in that case, but we should at least try it.

I really don't understand how this is still possible with everyone having access to the Internet. They're pretty consistent [1]. It must be a bubble thing.

It's art. It's for people who appreciate video games as art.

Or maybe it's just a goofy little toy for grownups who remember growing up with a Gameboy by their side, and want a whimsical grown-up version that they can keep in their pocket. With a fidget spinner on the side that also acts as an input for some games.
Facebook is not held liable for this, the fake accounts still contribute to their metrics and people "engage" with them so why would they change anything?
Speaking of charging, does anyone know if usb-c charging is properly implemented? I've bought a number of new devices with usb-c and am disappointed they require the old usb-a to usb-c cable to charge. Has anyone tested with a Macbook charger, or a "smart" usb-c to usb-c cable?
Incidentally, I've proposed official image annotations[0] that would let an image tell you what its base image is, both by immutable digest and by mutable tag, so you could detect this drift automatically.

Automated tooling could look at these annotations and notify maintainers, or proactively rebuild/rebase when base images change[1].

By having this information on the images themselves, you don't have to deal with as much source repo churn, though you might want that too.

If your app layers have a strong enough contract with your base layers (buildpacks is really good for this!), then you can rebase[2] instead of rebuilding from source.

Summary:

1. The input need to be unpredictable. Block N is the seed for block N+1.

2. It needs to be difficult to calculate, yet trivially easy to verify.

3. Difficulty needs to be adjustable.

The only idea I've ever seen that met all three of these criteria was PrimeCoin's usage of calculating certain Cunningham twin primes (which is still of unclear/tiny value).

Agree - like they should want people developing to it before it's released. This effectively gives them a rather odd lock-out period from the larger community.
>I am curious to hear how you define "many".

I define 'many' as a number, such that it is sufficient to disprove the thesis that "Chinese parenting" (if that is even a thing, China is very diverse) results in higher incomes.
>On each key event you have to update the screen so that appears to scroll up. But React gets in the way by batching setStates

This does not sound correct. Quoting directly from the page on automated batching (https://github.com/reactwg/react-18/discussions/21):

>Note: React only batches updates when it’s generally safe to do. For example, React ensures that for each user-initiated event like a click or a keypress, the DOM is fully updated before the next event. This ensures, for example, that a form that disables on submit can’t be submitted twice.

If you see a problem like the one you're describing, please file an issue in the main React repo, and we'll have a look. I'm not sure how you could have experienced this behavior since we released the alpha an hour ago.
Not defending online casinos, but there are some people who enjoy playing slot machines even without the possibility of winning money, just like some people like playing Candy Crush -- or Call of Duty, for that matter.
For a 1031 exchange you can only exchange an investment property for another investment property. You cannot use it for your primary residence. You have 45 days after close of escrow on your sale to identify up to three properties to purchase. You then have 180 days from close of first property to close one of the three listed.
A decent intro is the first chapter of Radical Markets, available here: http://assets.press.princeton.edu/chapters/s11222.pdf but it also isn't short.

Also a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj186urDU8c

Neither of these is particularly short and still don't address all (or even many) of the practical issues. As with most real policy and law, I don't think something can be both short and cover all the real world cases. There's unfortunately a reason most laws are really long.

I believe the chapter of the book addresses the issue of how will people know what values to set. In addition to the solution proposed in the book, another alternative (of mine), is to allow people to pay some amount of retroactive tax. Let's say someone tries to buy the asset from you for your set price, but you don't want to sell. You can raise the price to some amount the buyer no longer wants to pay, but since you were underpaying taxes on the asset, you need to make them up.

Would such a proposal probably mean people set lower prices than are correct -- yes; would it still make sense for things like homes -- yes.
MoviePass was started by a group of conmen who ran scams in India.

https://www.businessinsider.com/moviepass-owner-emerged-from...

The company was a classic pump-and-dump; it was never supposed to last this long. Somewhere along the line some other, US-based conmen ("serial entrepreneurs") got involved, probably holding the bag for the founders who got their stock profits and bailed.

That sounds really interesting but isn't that useless because at that point you may as well use geothermal. Doesn't the exchanger need air to flow over it hence the fins for it to work? I think geothermal is the biggest win environmentally however so there is that.
Gold is an chemical element very useful properties.

As for the banking system, Bitcoin is part of it now. Banks offer cryptocurrency-backed accounts, and if it becomes big, you will probably get all the stuff that banking does like loans, escrow services and fast, reversible transactions. There will be regulations and I guess a fractional reserve system will follow.

And how is it uncensorable? All it takes for a state to censor it is to declare it illegal with harsh sentences for those who get caught and embargoes on countries that don't play along.

As for Christmas lights, I think you are way off. Care to share the numbers.

Friend, the best thing a person like you could have done in a situation like this was: nothing--to not get involved.

Instead, you have really, really gotten involved. You seem to have taken it upon yourself to attempt to direct the public perception of these parties' respective characters by investigating and pronouncing judgment on him. You privately inquired as to the inner self of this person you admire(d?), and then you published your private correspondence (within mere minutes), implying it to be evidence of bad faith. You've written at-length about your personal experiences with the man and how your feelings about him have now alternated between admiration and contempt (probably several thousand words now).

You seem to feel like his possibly mistreating another person is equivalent to his mistreating you, personally, and so you join this crusade (or brigade?) against his reputation--perhaps with some hesitation at times, nevertheless with vigor.

**

Why?

It's disappointing that the only person who pointed out the natural consequence of your actions was heavily downvoted and finally even chastised by dang. He was trying to do you a favor, but keen language is frowned upon here--it's required that one dress up one's arguments in verbosity and appearances of ambivalence. (I can imagine how a classic writer like Twain would be treated here, but I digress.)

He was certainly right: anyone who has seen the way you've reacted to all this would be wise to keep interactions with you to a minimum. Otherwise, someday you might do again what you've done here, and with friends like that, who needs enemies?

The difference is really just that the ASN.1 tag really just contains the data type, with limited application-level space to describe it. JSON/XML let you us an arbitrary string to "tag" data.

ASN.1, on the other hand, has many more types (as we can see in this article!) including dates, big integers, choices, sequences, and more.

What an idiotic essay.

What Osaka did has nothing to do with ambition, she did it because of the changing landscape of the media. Unlike the old days where athletes had to rely on press conferences to get their story out, nowadays they can directly broadcast their messages through their social media like Twitter, Instagram, TikTok or whatever, and shape the message JUST THE WAY THEY WANT, instead of getting tricked by sketchy reporters to be quoted in uncontrollable ways.

The author starts from this completely incorrect assumption (based on her own personal bias) and then writes a whole article about how people "should not be ambitious", which is her true agenda. Osaka has nothing to do with this writer's agenda, the writer simply "used" Osaka as a tool for her own agenda.

Ironically, this kind of idiotic "journalism" is EXACTLY why people like Osaka decide to not deal with the press. There's nothing to gain by giving these people the power to put words in their mouth, just to write articles that they were already going to write, only using you as a narrative tool and often times hurting your reputation to achieve their agenda.

And no, ambition is NOT a cult. It's the main reason why the humanity was able to evolve as fast as they did, and it IS a virtue. It's not for everyone, but telling people to get rid of their professional ambition while writing that on the NYTimes to promote themselves (ambition) is the most hypocritical thing ever.
