Kepler raises $60M to build the internet in space
According to the graph in the article, the Colorado River is about 5 million acre-feet (per year, i assume) below its benchmark. That's ~6.17 billion cubic metres.

If that shortfall was made up by desalination, using 3 kWh/m3 (the low end of the range [1]), that's ~18.5 million MWh per year. California's only operating nuclear power plant produced 18.9 million MWh in 2016 [2].

So this would be a big job, but not an unthinkably big one.

Unless i've dropped some orders of magnitude somewhere in there.

With USD (and indeed any national currency), generally all functions except issuance are handled by third party services, that would be the status quo for a currency, wouldn't it?
Where did you obtain confidence for this story?
Disagree. In 2007 I used a Nokia 6300 (https://i.imgur.com/5ezXN1R.png) and I had an unlimited data plan for €10/month (because, who was going to use a lot of data on 2G on a small feature phone?).

I used to smoothly browse the web on it using Opera Mini. It had a simulated mouse and rendered most stuff excellently.

I've experimented with a wealth of homemade and premade decks.

A lot of vocabulary decks based on textbooks used in class, e.g.:

人 -> person

But I find that for more complex words, I reconize them in Anki, but not in texts.

I also did a large premade deck of example sentences from a grammar book, which I actually found to be very helpful for general language understanding.

I've also failed trying to complete Heisig's Remembering the Kanji, using Anki.
With every messaging and conversational product I fear that the pricing is volume based, the more conversations, the more you pay. How does Airy handle pricing?
Legal tender laws do little to give a commodity value as a currency. No central bank runs the Bitcoin blockchain ledger as their payment settlement system so no one truly accepts Bitcoin in payment of taxes.
> I guess most have forgotten that you should not believe everything you see on the internet

The article exclusively focuses on the Global South, ie developing countries. There are a couple billion people for whom social media, and indeed Internet connectivity, are very new, and there are countries full of these people. It takes a while to develop the memetic antibodies that we as a society developed over time (remember chain emails?). We obviously still deal with excess credulousness, epistemic naivete, and the Internet Age's unfortunate interactions with these weaknesses. But these weaknesses used to be much, much worse in the US and other developed countries. Countries with substantial subpopulations new to the Internet are pitting the immunologically naive against exploits hardened by years of adversarial co-evolution.
He's not wrong though. I own an M1 Macbook Air, and while there are some workloads that it can outperform my desktop at, it's still not even close to the level of functionality or comparability of my other machines. Hell, most days I just end up tossing my Thinkpad in my work bag, just because the keyboard and OS gets in my way less.

> Then don't buy a bloody M1. The M1 has always been Apple's entry-level efficiency-first processor.

No, I gotta disagree. Apple's marketing around the M1 was intentionally deceptive: they were forced to revoke their claim of having the "fastest CPU cores" after it was vehemently disproven. Their "faster than 97% of Windows laptops" conveniently didn't compare itself to AMD laptops or laptops with dedicated graphics. I'm just not really impressed. I seriously worry for Apple if this is all they were able to get out of the 5nm node on ARM. Considering how poorly ARM scales with higher TDPs, I don't think I want to see their "Pro stuff".
It's important to note that El Salvador's currency is the US dollar. WU doesn't even need to convert currency. They are simply taking up to 10% from a low-earning demographic group in the US just because they can. Even if bitcoinization itself "fails", if it forces WU to lower its fees it'll do net good.

Among U.S. Hispanics and Salvadorans, the median annual personal earnings for those ages 16 and older was $25,000.

Salvadoran Americans, even those who are poor, have an incentive to send money to family and friends in El Salvador because a U.S. dollar buys much more there than in the States. In all, they send approximately $800 million back home per year—close to $1000 per person

1000 bucks per person is not some exorbitant amount, it's some people's yearly starbucks budget.

2 limitations.

1. Heat doesn't go away with layers and gets harder to cool.
2. These are still layers. You want each layer to be as flat as possible. As the layers deform you lose the ability to cleanly add more layers.

Current lithography is very much based on the notion that everything is flat.

I have similar anecdotes. To me it seems like people who pass laws forget that they need to support and maintain them into perpetuity. At first things are efficient but long-term support can fall by the wayside.

I think some laws are passed with expiration dates. I would support more of this to reassess if people still have the will to enforce and support them.
But people like likes.

If nothing else, it’s good feedback to know what resonates with your audience.
CSS-in-JS alone doesn't give you many tools for that kind of stuff, but if you use something that integrates more design system-style theming it's pretty easy - have a look at https://chakra-ui.com/ and click on the moon icon in the top corner for instant dark mode. Implementing various themes for high-contrast etc. would just be a case of changing the theme.
Yeah I think we should aim for all non-agricultural water covered by desalination first. That should be relatively easily. Then we figure out what to do about the agriculture.
Devil's advocate, wouldn't keeping the two using seperate providers be better? Not 'crossing the streams' so to speak

This is a valid question for our current tax system, already.
Lightning network liquidity should actually help solve this. If you maintain a reserve and open a ton of payment channels for folks (those HTLCs are all on-chain), this drastically reduces impact of confirmation time and fees.
You can import food grown elsewhere; it's not sustainable to water-intensive food locally. Bottled water is an inefficient and carbon-intensive solution for drinking water--drink from the tap.
I find your comment super interesting. I myself deeply enjoy refactoring as an activity in software, and I share that affinity towards it both in Factorio and Minecraft, where I'll deeply enjoy tearing down massive chunks of my base to reconstruct them slightly or completely differently.
Yeah I knew it's not a legal requirement but still I thought it would lead to zero fees everywhere, because now when you need to do a lot of transfers, it makes sense to create an account in a foreign SEPA bank and then even the transfers to greek accounts would be free. Granted I don't know how much are bank transfers used in Greece (given the fee probably not to their full potential).
As a result of the tech bubble popping greenspan lowered interest rates for 10 years to almost 0, effectively meaning banks could lend any amount of money, but also couldn't earn any money from actual interest and needed to find all sorts of ways to make a profit, e.g. repacking and selling bad loans to other banks and pensions.

I'd argue if we let the tech bubble pop properly, have a recession for 2-3 years, but keep interest rates at higher rates, it would have preventing a housing bubble.

And that's down to greenspan, and government intervention, not the market.
Interesting comment, I might have thought it was the other way around.
Maybe someday they'll external GPU support too, unless it's too tall of an order for Apple.
And still many people don't know.
This is the best argument I've seen for property tax, but coupled with a lack of something like UBI it means you can't live a life apart from society. You must always participate in work to justify your continued existence.
I wanted, but never got around to, creating a mod that accepts some kind of data outside the game (lines of text, JSON objects, packets from the TUN driver, whatever), wraps them up as Factorio objects, and plops them onto a belt, and another that reads them and sends them back out.

The idea being that this could be (A) a cool hack (belt speed factoring into ping time, lmao), but (B) a way to visualize data flow in complex queue systems.
California sold rights to pump water to farmers a century ago.

The only way to legally undo that is to use eminent domain to purchase those rights back. Given how productive and valuable the farm land is and how scarce water is those rights are now absurdly expensive… it’s an intractable problem.
I mean... I understand the notion of fucking up a migration, of actually introducing data loss etc.

I guess this is partly my fault, cuz I said this list was pedantic but I didn't go in deep enough ("rollback if something is clearly blowing up" for example).

I mean yeah, don't delete the old data until you're sure! But you know what? If I'm moving two booleans into an enum with 4 states (or less states but I checked the production database to confirm a case didn't exist), I feel pretty confident about doing that data move and not having some secret data being missed.

You can use logic/math/data analysis to determine you are handling every case! And yeah, you can make mistakes, but the variety of mistakes become much smaller. And this is all in the framework of having backups of your data, having reviews, letting time pass to reduce uncertainty... just run of the mill "run stuff on computers and editing multi-tenant data" stuff.
Asking as a noob, isn't the whole point of transaction fees to prevent malicious actors from flooding the network with spam. How does lighting networks prevent that from happening and why can't one use a smiliar approach for the actual bitcoin blockchain?

If I hand a cashier a physical dollar, no fee to me.

Not so with your so-called digital dollars.

An actual digital dollar would have no transaction fee whatsoever.
One advantage is that you're creating a separation of concerns, so that it would be easy to change third parties if necessary.

Dope. Although I think your pricing is high, but so is looker and tableau...

What would be cool is dynamic dashboards that are launched via QR codes. I am specifically thinking about the cannabis industry:

A few years ago, I was making cannabis labels - which are regulated as to what information you must have on the label, and what I did was a QR code that went to a bit.ly link that then directed to the lab results for the cannabis as it was tested.

This allowed for me to scan a QR on a package, be taken to the lab results and also have interest tracked to the product by just counting who and what was scanned - where and when...

The point is, that it would be interesting to have a QR generated for every dashboard such that if I put a product dashboard up, and printed the QR on whatever product, I could then be taken to that board with a scan of said QR.

This would allow for IRL metrics to physical products and track how many scans happen... and a QR could refer to a custom board based on a variety of inputs...

Also interesting to think that, on a global scale, we could put a dent in rising sea levels by desalinating and pumping water inland.
Especially at senior levels, there's ramp up time AND a larger scope of impact if the person makes bad technical decisions or negatively impacts the team. A bad hire is super expensive on both those dimensions. It's even worse when the candidate is hired into a leadership role and will be responsible for further hiring.

It's easy to see if someone is incompetent during their first 90 days: that's a basic recruiting failure. It's the other type who are sort of good, but ultimately disastrous, that cause real problems. And often, these mis-hires take ~12 months to identify and correct. The result is that caution dominates when hiring.
This will last 1 year tops lmao
How do you think bank accounts get hacked? It's much easier to yank a password/credit card number people use daily.

The benefit of private key is you only need to use it once. Then store it away in a safe or _bank_.

More UX will develop over time as adoption grows. We already have hardware wallets that even babies could use.

Finally you somehow imply that FIAT theft doesn't happen. Even in recent modern history people have lost all their savings in a snap be it their house burning down, colleague stealing everything or even your bank going under.
Why not tax agricultural use, and dwelling use of water above its zoned capacity at the cost to desalinate? I’ll gladly pay that premium for my Californian lettuce while the farms pack up shop and move somewhere sustainable and less expensive.
> This is the best explanation of this metgodology I’ve ever read [emphasis added]

I assume that is a typo, but if it is, it's my favorite typo of the week, because it reflects so well how I feel about that kind of daily standup: scrum masters who act like little tin gods.

Most of the companies I've worked with take a more practical approach, but I have been involved with some who did it exactly the way GP described. It really rubbed me the wrong way.
Yah, this is the conundrum of security vs. useability.

More and more Android has been lumping disparate access permissions together with the goal seeming to be KISS.
The dollar is a central bank currency.

Numbers in a retail bank's ledger are not digital dollars. They represent an obligation of the bank, and not direct ownership of dollars.

Digital dollars exist, but only banks can hold them, as they're the only ones with accounts at the central bank. The rest of us use retail bank accounts, which are the equivalent of custodial wallets in the crypto world.
> then even the transfers to greek accounts would be free

No, the bank still charges the 3 EUR for the incoming transfer, sadly.
Not sure I follow. My equity is illiquid until I sell the home. I could, in theory, borrow against it, but that carries risk.
Why not a stable coin?
What you are describing here sounds to me like phishing, where as what is described in the article sounds like those people deliberately share their accounts with bot farms. Willingly.
Canadian banks have a cosy non compete arrangement, and they are allowed to charge enormous Interac and CC transaction fees. Tangerine (Scotiabank's online only brand) and Simplii (CIBC) offer no fee accounts and unlimited free Interac. Canadians are very traditional and change resistant too, they like to go into the physical bank.

I think cheques still exist because there is no system in Interac for associating a destination account reference with an Interac transfer. In Australia cheques have been replaced by BPay (owned by the banks) and PostBillPay (owned by the Post Office) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BPAY. In fact, I've never had to use a cheque as an adult except for e.g. buying a car/house. Interbank transfers and instant payments (Osko) have been free for ages, at least 20 years. https://www.rba.gov.au/publications/bulletin/2020/mar/two-ye...

It shows how arthritic banking is in the West that payment systems like AliPay haven't been allowed.
The way I would describe a linker is backwards, kind of like what you did. As you say, you start with a linker as concatenating files, which themselves consist of multiple streams to be independently concatenated (i.e., sections). Then you point out that references between sections need to be resolved, and this is where you introduce relocations and symbols. Now you bring up the symbol resolution process, and the fact that the linker is going to (in some modes) choose to include object files only when it provides a necessary symbol. For bonus points, talk about segments, the dynamic loader, and/or debugging information.

This description is a reverse process of how the linker goes through and does all of it: first it loads all the input files, then resolves the symbols to build a link plan, then it fixes up necessary relocations, and finally it streams it all into the output file. I don't think it helps to omit any part of the process from the description--symbols are not "kind of an implementation detail," they are a core feature of what linkers provide.

Indeed, if I were to provide this as a blog post, I see no reason to not immediately reach for describing this using the full complexity of ELF and "real linkers" as the basis of description. You don't really gain anything from a simpler description, and building a linker that can build even relatively complex libraries such as glibc or Firefox's libxul is likely to be pretty simple--the really hard part of linkers is supporting things like linker scripts, which is not common operation.
For example, there are places where the colloquial term for the 'Internet' is just 'Facebook.' The Hype Curve and how consumers engage with new technology is not universal around the world.
My company does this too. Try installing Firefox in a nonstandard location, that fixed it for me. Now I enjoy regex search, unlock origin and tampermonkey and have little more peace of mind.
But this still isn't the whole story. The Chinese-American population is bigger and more diverse than the Indian-American or Pakistani-American one. There are lots of families in all these groups where the generation that immigrated to the US was well-educated and professional. Even if that generation had to work extremely hard to get a foothold in the new country, the children benefited both from the high education level of the parents, and from the hard-working/aspirational mentality of the recent immigrant, and (she argues) from the traditionalist approaches to discipline and education which the parents brought with them.

These are the people whom Amy Chua is talking to and about.

The average Chinese-American income reflects relatively fewer of these highly successful immigrants, because there are many more Chinese-Americans who arrived in the US poor and with few options. That doesn't disprove what she said.
No. Nvidia still has a massive software lead over Apple, and probably will continue to until Apple gives in and supports Vulkan on MacOS. Furthermore, I find Apple's GPU performance on 5nm to be pretty disappointing. It's pretty comparable to the x86 Zen 2 integrated graphics, which came out 18 months before the M1, on laptops half the price, on the 7nm node. I think Apple has a long ways to go in GPU engineering before they can even stand toe-to-toe with the industry.

SMS adds friction to password stuffing. Given that a gazillion people do not use unique passwords, this has some value.

It is possible that if we spent more time as a community encouraging the use of password managers that the net improvement in security posture would be greater, but this does remain a nontrivial benefit of SMS.
> I personally think the day the digital US dollar is developed and can be stored in your IPhone. If I can take my locally stored digital dollar and then send it via imessage or whatsapp, then the game is truly over for Bitcoin

Hasn't this already happened. It's called Zelle or Venmo or CashApp or ApplePay or a million others. Heck, if you prefer Elon Musk pushed technology there's even this thing called PayPal.

And it comes with a whole series of laws that protect you in the case of hacking, fraud, etc.

I don't follow the advantage of using a government-issued (and custodially held) bitcoin wallet. Well, I understand that El Salvador wants to encourage people to use their BTC there. But other than that I don't see the value.

Point of reference.

Barcelona has two fully automated lines (AFAIK, there might be some remote control) L9 and L10. They were built already with the idea of having no driver.

Nontheless when a strike is in effect their frequency go down too. AFAIK it was negotiated this way between the unions and the subway company.

Here are a couple of articles in Catalan about different strikes and the reduction of trains in all lines.
