In terms of Smalltalk, the answer is "yes". Some examples of what it looks like include the original Self language / environment [1], Newspeak [2], and even Tony Garnock-Jones' implementation of Actors [3].

Some of this has to do with the fact that the virtual machine for many Smalltalk implementations is implemented in Smalltalk itself. So you can start with Smalltalk and end up with something modified enough to be considered different.

>SciHub is just one instance of the broader problem, which is that governments - even ostensibly democratic ones - don't actually operate in the best interests of the governed.

Agreed. This is true for virtually any human endevour. The average person out there can be easily manipulated by those who generally seek power. So I say that the root problem is one of that of people in their ability discern appropriate people to hold power. To make matters worse those who are most suited to govern often are not interested in taking on positions of power.
When I lived in a 1BR with my partner, there was no space for a monitor, desk, and chair. We did all computing on our laptops. My experience with most people who lived in the bay area or nyc prior to the pandemic was that they definitely did not have a dedicated space for a desktop setup.
No, it doesn't. The UK is the number one loser globally from corporate tax avoidance (the reason why we have a 15% rate is because the UK functionally stopped being able to collect corp tax because of the big EU tax havens agreeing deals with large companies). The reason why the UK doesn't like these proposals is because they are a fairly transparent attempt to get companies paying more US tax, regardless of the consequences for anyone else (and the proposals have been skilfully tailored to produce the most agreement from France and Germany whilst promising the least possible change).

As for "oligarchs and criminals"...those are two different things. The UK already applies extraterritoriality to money coming into the UK (i.e. if you bring money into the UK that is the proceeds of crime in another country that money will get taken, even if you haven't been charged in your own country). But most people view oligarchs as criminals, they are not. Running a business is not a crime, and we shouldn't make into a crime because that person happens to be the wrong nationality (btw, what most people don't understand is that the UK was a haven for oligarchs who were anti-Putin, not pro...the reason why they came here is because they had to leave Russia because of Putin).
Why? Genuine question.

If you do, in fact, need to worry about floating point error, then there is not some magical "it will never happen if you have this much precision and use this neat algorithm". Heck, even fixed/decimal/rational numbers aren't perfect solutions, they just make it easier to tell if you're staying within your precision.

Without infinite storage, you can't retain infinite precision, so the only real question is how much error you are willing to tolerate. And that depends very much on what you're doing - I can tolerate a lot more error in rolls on a MMO than in my bank account balance...
> This is sort of a silly assertion. Many things are scarce, yet have no value. If I create a new crypto coin, it would have zero value.

But you cannot create a new first coin.

Part of the value is that it was the first, similar to how the first painting ever made by a famous artist, though often of inferior quality to later works, is often more valuable. — there is only first, and that makes it scarcer.

> Raw materials have uses outside their tradability.

I said rare: there are a variety of materials, such as, say, Jade, which have no known industrial application and their value simply comes from their rarity.

> You would likely go bankrupt by the volatility. Most shops make <10% margin on all goods. You cannot accept payment in a coin that might be worth less than the value of the goods you need to restock for tomorrow.

That is irrelevant to my hypothetical of whether I can use such a scheme to effectively not accept legal tender.
I would point out that 1 BTC does not equal 1/21000000 of the total supply forever. For three main reasons a) wallet keys get lost making stored bitcoins unavailable. b) The developers/community may very well decide to change the total amount of bitcoins available in the future. c) With the rise of quantum computing it is conceivable that the public key encryption that is used to secure the wallets may be broken in the next few decades rendering bitcoin unusable.

EDIT: corrected public key, I had written "public/private" for some reason.
Because they’ve done a great job “protecting” the supply of the USD…

Bitcoin’s anti-counterfeiting is a hell of a lot better than the USD’s anti-counterfeiting.
It's not low, it's basically non-existent. It's perhaps just a needlessly defensive way of saying so in the video, since there are biologically a way for mRNA to turn into DNA. But it has an effect only on an evolutionary timescale.

No, that's not the same.

Summing [4, 5, 6, 7] would yield the series (4, )9, 15, 22 with "sort then add", but what the previous poster described would first sum 4+5 (leaving the list [9, 6, 7]), then 6+7 (leaving the list [9, 13]) and finally arriving at 22.

Agreed: Sometimes the thing causing insomnia falls outside the realm of that simple advice (sleep hygiene, exercise, caffeine).

Two weeks after being put on Lipitor I began to suffer chronic insomnia for the first time in my life: I had good sleep hygiene (almost perfect), consistent exercise, and minimal caffeine (only in the morning, only before 9am).

The problem lay in my body chemistry: insomnia was not an uncommon side effect of Lipitor. The fix? My doctor swapped out Lipitor for a different statin.

The G7 includes the UK and Switzerland-by-proxy of the EU, since Switzerland is in the European Market. They're not signing anything against their wishes. They're trying to water down the deal. The question at play here is whether or not they'll get away with it, and I sure hope they don't. Giving exemptions to the rule will create massive incentives to game those exemptions.
I went to a college with an honor code, and proctoring exams was forbidden. Most exams were taken where the student was most comfortable (I usually opted for wherever I'd studied, be it an empty classroom or my dorm room). Most exams were simply open book.

I really think it was a great system. But, it's not perfect. I believe the military academies are all on similar honor systems, and I remember a few times of mass-cheating scandals, which have pretty heavy penalties, including expulsion in those environments.
The real question is what are the idiots running the rest of the countries involved doing?

Do elected persons from those other countries work for their electorate and try to attract business and jobs by competing against the incompetent and wasteful governments, or do they scheme against their electorate and work on behalf of globalists?

Thumbs up to the Swiss and the UK.
It's basically if you've ever read about MMM[1] and thought: Why didn't the government do anything? That's the kind of thought process they are likely in.

Of course in my opinion Madoff & MMM are fundamentally different than cryptocurrencies[2] because there isn't someone at the top who can hide what is happening or issue new coins. Arguably what is happening with Tether might be similar, but that's a very specific thing that you try to target with government intervention instead of blanket banning.

[2]: to be clear there are ponzi/madoff schemes in crypto, plenty actually, but if you weight by retail exposure to them they are not that common
“The value of USD is based on US economy” but far from being an expert I suspect that what is behind at then is human perception and trust, you can choose to keep the token USD or token Bitcoin depending what you perceive as being safer or trustworthy, and some people prefer to have eggs in both baskets.
You can't patent a colour, you patent a process. If you're referring to the R next to Pantone, the R is because Pantone is a company and the wordmark Pantone is a registered trademark.
It sounds like you have a stake in the matter, otherwise assuming jingoism.

I disagree, five to ten years is far too short.

I have a couple of audio devices that are ~14 years old and working perfectly fine. If either of them broke then I'd want to repair them (unless of course the fault was fabulously catastrophic). Once upon a time even affordably priced equipment lasted way more than 5-10 years. Maybe it's a generational thing, due to my being on the wrong side of 50 :), but stuff used to be built to last for affordable money. Hell I'm still wearing the Seiko mechanical auto-wind watch I was given for my birthday in 1983, and it still (mostly) tells the right time and day.

Twenty years should be a minimum.

This isn't about countries with 15% corporate tax rates. This is about countries, like Ireland or Netherlands, with 0% corporate tax rates.

The UK loses a huge amount of corporate tax from EU tax havens, and the opposition has formed because the purpose of this deal is to allow the US to raise their corporate tax rate...rather than stop corporate tax avoidance (the US doesn't suffer hugely from this, all the profit in places like the UK that goes to Ireland ends up back in the US, and gets taxed).

That doesn’t even remotely imply that the USD would only crash to 38% of its current value if the only thing people used it for was paying US taxes. It would almost certainly go a lot lower. However, it’s hard to predict with any precision.

Other Calculus book worth mention is "Elementary Calculus: An Infinitesimal Approach", by Jerome Keisler. One thing that makes learning Calculus harder than necessary is the clumsy epsilon and delta formalism, that became sort of a COBOL for Calculus. This is not the intuitive approach Newton and Leibniz used to develop Calculus, based on infinitesimals, but shunned later because it took time until Abraham Robinson made it rigorous in the 1960s. The book by Keisler showcases nicely how higher math education could improve, if academia had less inertia. The author made the entire book available for free online:

I specifically like the fact that Bandcamp feels more like a record store than a Spotify. The Bandcamp Daily series goes in depth on several genres of music. It feels like a magazine, which is subtantively different from Spotify and Apple's approach, which is to throw playlists with pithy titles at the user, without any context.

IMO, that creates a situation where you don't really explore new music, but just continue listening to stuff you're already familiar with.

agree that it is just in degrees - from the asymptomatic person to the vaccinated or even the person previously infected.

I think it's also possible that things will drift to both ends of the spectrum.

Something like 3-in/2-out feels like one of those uncomfortable middle grounds. OK. So workers get a bit more flexibility. But the downsides:

- Companies can't really save on real estate unless you do scheduling and hot desking which seems like an ugly solution.

- Workers can't really increase their commute times much but have to keep a reasonable working area at home.

- Schedules will only overlap for meetings etc. if there's a lot of coordination

- Either remote people on a given day will get left out or some of those in-person will resent having to work as if everyone is remote even though they're in-person themselves.

> What does effort mean in this context?

One school of thought says there are men on dating websites who copy-paste a message saying "hey how you doing?" to every woman they see; and that women are beset by hundreds of copy-pasted messages from men who haven't even read their profile.

This school of thought says, in order to stand out, men should carefully compose a different clever, charming message for each woman they contact, based on things the recipient mentions in their profile and suchlike.

Of course, a man sending 100 copy-pasted messages and a man sending 5 high-quality messages might be expending the same amount of effort in total but the latter is demonstrating greater effort per woman

In this context, kogepathic means more men should adopt the strategy of carefully composing messages.

This then leads to how does math exist instead of nothing? Math is a concept, and if concepts exist then that is not "nothing".

Many people confuse "nothing" with the vacuum of space and particles appearing out of nowhere. In this case, we have something (space, vacuums, and particles), not nothing.

Well, not necessarily. The "and repeatable" can be quite a constraint.

Imagine three redundant systems on a plane that want to compute the same from the same input array (and then check whether they all agree). You want to implement this, and figure that (since there's a lot of data) it makes sense to parallelize the sum. Each thread sums some part and then in the end you accumulate the per-thread results. No race conditions, clean parallelization. And suddenly, warning lights go off, because the redundant systems computed different results. Why? Different thread team assignments may lead to different summation orders and different results, because floating point addition is not associative.

More generally, whenever you want fully reproducible results (like "the bits hash to the same value"), you need to take care of these kinds of "irrelevant" problems.
