Wow! Really interesting. Is there any writeup regarding the site?
> I've read a fair share of Austrian Economics and they certainly don't believe that gold was an awful reserve.

Have you read a fair share of other schools of Economics, or did you just focus on Austrian?
You do not understand the situation. Breaking ECDSA would mean everyone gains access to everyone else's private keys. There is no recovery after that, because even if the network is updated to use a quantum-resistant scheme, how do you prove you're the owner of that BTC? And without a central party, who decides you're the rightful owner of your BTC, if 10's of other people insist they own it?
> I think it’s hard to make the argument against allocating somewhere on the order of 1% of your portfolio to crypto.

The much larger than 1% probability of the current mainstream crypto being replaced by whatever new crypto is hyped in the future. Or the chance of "crypto" simply debasing itself out of existence with an infinite supply of new tokens.
Getting Comfortable with Failures
Ideas are not that hard really.

What people have a hard time understanding is that ideas themselves are not worth that much, they're at the top of a wide funnel which is narrow at the bottom.

Ideas are cheap, they evolve into more fleshed out concepts, which evolve into products which evolve into 'good' products. It's a very narrowing process.

For every successful rebel, there are many for whom it didn't work.

Operational competence, scale, market power ... those things are what really facilitate good ideas and make them worthwhile.
Having the money to invest and deciding to do so does not mean you don’t have the money.

A family on the median household income would have negative net income with that level of investment.
Over the past century, the strongest currencies, like the Swiss franc and US dollar, lost over 95% of their value. The average currency lost more than that, like around 98-99%. The worst currencies lost 100% of their value.

This only applies to foreign currencies relative to the US dollar, not the dollar itself given that the dollar is considered the universal, global unit of wealth. It's like saying that a 1kg weights .3k on mars. A kg is a kg anywhere. What she means to say is that "the US dollar has lost its purchasing power due to inflation" which she does later but still misleading. But this still it not quite the same as saying the dollar lost its value. The nice thing about owning dollars is even in spite of loss of purchasing power due to CPI, you have no forex risk. Foreign currencies not only losing purchasing power due to inflation but also due to falling against the US dollar.

And for longer-term savings instruments, here is a chart of the inflation-adjusted forward annualized rate of return of buying 10-year Treasury notes that year and holding them to maturity. You can see the three decades where bondholders got massacred, because the underlying dollars were devalued. During those times, anyone who bought Treasuries and held to maturity received annualized real returns of as low as -4% or -5% during the full duration of the note.

Again, all she did was cherry pick two bad periods. Over the past 100 years, 10-year bonds have tended to produce positive real returns.

Bitcoin and gold are popular but this does not make them good investments or a good hedge against inflation. Beanie babies were popular too. Overall, stocks have proven to be the best hedge against inflation. The S&P 500 has gained more than enough this year to overcome all inflation. Compare the charts of the total S&P 500 , nasdaq, or DJIA with any other asset class and stocks tend to win hands-down with few exceptions between.

> With the "everyone remote" of 2020, one of the things that spooked a lot of companies is the employees adding to additional complications by living in states (or sometimes countries) that have different labor laws, taxes, and such without telling the company.

I've side-stepped this issue by being self-employed.

Then it becomes as simple as - you keep paying me and I keep working.
WebGL seems to be the only kind-of-robust way to do portable GPU code now, if you don't have encyclopedic experience of deploying native GPU apps. Or the time, $$ budget and opportunity cost budget to engage in multiplatform and testing fixing.
> Net spending power == spending on real goods + spending on debt.

I still don't know what this means. What is "spending on debt"? Interest payments? Why are you calling amount spent "spending power"? Spending power evokes the idea of potential, not actual spending. Your terminology is confusing.

> the interest rate may be increased, however that's not always the case.

When the price inflation rate is relatively stable, it will automatically be accounted for via the normal price system (ie not by conscious up pricing).

> Regardless, creditors even if they have already priced in inflation will lobby for low-inflation policies as this increases the return on their assets (that is, debt).

Ok. Well this isn't true when the creditors are primarily banks reciving seigniorge benefits.

> The my claim is trivially verified

Your claim that I'm using seigniorage wrong? The definitions you're quoting about seigniorage agree with the way I'm using the word. I don't know why you think I'm using it wrong.
idk but I keep most of my wealth in stablecoins or cryptocurrency. The yields are better than a bank and I can withdraw more from Coinbase in a day than my bank would let me wire per day anyway, so why not?
you should really give Dune a try, that's another must
Conveniently ignoring how the exponentially increasing fiat supply incentivises pulling forward consumption from the future to be spent on unnecessary things today. Thereby massively misallocating investment in the world simply because people don't have a sound money which they can save for the future.
Suppose we lived in an alternate universe where personality characteristics could be inferred (with statistical confidence) from skull bumps (i.e. a world where phrenology worked): in such a world, you could argue that it would be unfair to disadvantage an individual based on his specific skull bumps. Those bumps aren't dispositive in individual cases. At the same time, it'd be wrong (again, in our pretend universe) to ban noticing the statistical connection between skull bump and personality, because that'd just be a fact about how our alternate universe worked, and censoring facts is always wrong.

Back in our world: I don't believe in demonizing technologies because of what people might do with them. Facial recognition works, at least for identification of individuals. I cannot get on board with mandating denial of this fact for the sake of fear of bad policy based on this fact. It never, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever acceptable to ban people noticing true facts about how the world works.
I would argue that outright heresy is the way to go; rebellion only gets you so far.
US doesn't openly acknowledge existence of troll factories, but there're several institutions in the US created at least in the last ten years to "fight Russia presence on the Internet". They're associated with Pentagon and CIA. What would they do with all their huge budgets?

Also, until 2 years ago, there were tons of identical comments posted under different nicknames on different social networks.

E.g. under different unrelated videos on YouTube about new Russian ship or airplane, you'd see identical comments saying something: "It's shit, government should stop wasting money to build inferior technology and buy it from the West and money are better spent on retired people".

I've even made tons of screenshots as evidence, with word for word identical comments under different videos from different nicknames. Sometimes there were even duplicates from different nicknames under the same video or article.

Of course, technology became more sophisticated since then.

And I'm not even starting about "legitimate" US propaganda translated non-stop by media outlets like Radio Freedom, and tons of other medias that operate on the territory of Russia, are funded from US budget (sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly) and the point of their existence is the same: to translate nonsense about Russia in Russian non-stop. E.g. gather all the crimes and translate them all day non-stop causing a depression in Russian listeners and viewers that nothing good happens in Russia, that it's all just a "Putin's GULAG".

You go on the street and see new roads, new houses, expensive cars, happy people, no crime, clean streets. You open Radio Freedom or any other US-funded website or magazine, and it's all depression, sadness, violent crime...

It's really annoying and I even think that people even have some kind of immunity now against this kind of US propaganda because we're bombarded with it non-stop since 1991.
Not quite. The MGM210L has 108kB RAM, 1MB of Flash, and an 80MHz Cortex M33.

He added external memory (an 8MB W25Q64).
And nothing to abolish one of the biggest tools used by monopolists or oligarchies to steal from others: software patents.
Does anyone have a good way to use this to replace preview? My only idea is up on pull request down on merge.
We online conference for our meetings anyway, so mine as well do it from the comfort of our homes.
This is a good breakdown and I agree 100%. No one ever reports using meth or heroin for 5 years with no legal consequence and then just moving on. There are a couple studies that show that there is a type of drug user that may be massively uncounted for. They take a turn into substance abuse/dependance after a trauma. Loss of a loved one, a breakup, loss of a job, serious injury, etc. The main study I read on the issue said the average arc of the people they could find to self report was about 5 years.

Almost all of our drug statistics are based on interactions with police which produce legal consequences for a medical issue. All that said, I'm not saying "drugs are more safe than previously thought!" just that most of our public knowledge and legislation is about incarceration and leaves out an invisible population. The study was a few years old, I believe it was done just as the opiate epidemic came into view and well before anyone knew what carfentanyl was. Opiates affected rich white people's children has widened out the understanding a bit and migrogram opiates put a lot more people in front of police and medical. Also microgram opiates pop up in a lot of drugs that aren't supposed to contain them so I think that changes some things too.

A quick google has not produced this study or related, but if I find it, I'll tag it back in an edit.
This is not a charity.

If the competition to CUDA wants to be taken serioulsy then provide the tooling and polyglot support to do so.

OpenCL was stuck in their "C only with printf debugging" mentality for too long, now it is too late.

AMD ROCm still isn't available in Windows.

If I learned anything from wasting my time with Khronos stuff, was that I should have switched to DirectX much earlier.
Maybe in the absence of any direct incentive, but employees do have a direct incentive: their own salary. What seems more likely to boost employee morale, an executive choosing to pay himself more, or an executive choosing to pay his employees more?
AWS amplify provide this with automatic previews on github.

Any reason to use Ness over it?
What does that even mean? All bitcoin transactions use the blockchain. If by chance you mean "trades on exchanges" then the same could be said about nearly any financial instrument. A majority of movement is done by traders, market makers, etc.
Lyn does great work. This is one of the most objective and well balanced pieces on this topic I have read.
I'd recommend some of Stephenson's earlier works: Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, Reamde, Anathem are all great. I actually think Seveneves is one of his weakest books.
If it has to be hybrid only, then how about going into office for one week a month and the employees can pick whichever days they want to go in person to office and do WFH the rest of the month. I feel like this will make employees collaborate more and choose to come in person on specific days all together.

It might be stricken down anyway. Did you know that a bipartisan effort to grant the president line-item veto power succeeded during the Clinton administration, but was struck down by the Supreme Court?
Dude have you ever even owned a single satoshi
Social/multi-key recovery ala ADSS? Or make it so as long as you have a single device you can perform recovery? It is very unlikely that you'll lose all of your devices.
I think the only reason right now, is that the people asking these questions are not the same people investing in and being vocal proponents of these protocols.

If I look at my own circle, the people who are vocal proponents of crypto are always invested (which makes a lot of sense) but are often also not generally very informed. They are often people who have spent next to no time investing in traditional markets, nor have they actually read up on any of the technologies beyond promotional white papers.

These people think (and maybe they're right, some clearly were) that this is their chance to be part of a great recalibration, a wealth transfer from the rich to the average. They often aren't even aware that the bulk of the rise in market Cap is beneficial to people like the Winklevoss twins in case of BTC or private investors in case of Solana. If this news even reaches them it'll be in the form of: "the token sale was very successful, which proofs that this technology is going to win the market, so you should invest too!.

Who knows what will happen though, maybe we're just blind to a technology that'll eat the world.
There needs a canonical git repo on which TFM allows a notebook-esque running of the many forms of each command
Yeah, molecular distillation is a type of vacuum distillation pretty ubiquitously used in distilling extracts from oils because minimizes decomposition due to heat. I looked it up.

> Under a system with hard money and free banking we would instead have occasional emergent disasters and nothing could be done about them.

And my understanding is that such disasters used to happen with some regularity, but they weren't wars so people don't typically learn about them in school.
> I'd like to build up a mailing list

Just FYI that's why I (and I assume the OP) don't sub to newsletters.
> There seems likely to be a minimum population that can support the degree of specialization needed for a given level of technological advancement.

50 people can support much smaller degree of specialization than 50 million people can. This should be fairly obvious, so I am not sure why it needs to be restated.
There are tons of tools out there and just talking doesnt help anyone. Mock up a demo and show us then we'll decide if we wanna use it.
Implementing wifi/RF with "some relays and transistors" doesn't sound fun.
I like learning of people's mnemonic sequences. Really nice how TFA was able to adapt their strategy to new, previously unencountered ideas like negative, hexadecimal.

I'd truly like to know how Von Neumann remembered everything.
I am trying to argue that just by using a safer systems programming language, the security exploits don't go away.

Someone needs to take care that the remaining 30% are taken care of.

While the unsafe blocks are still responsible for the remaining 70% if no one bothers to actually validate them.

Actix Web is a very good example, how the community still has to learn how to deal with such issues, and how effective the security would have been, if its security wasn't validated by fellow humans.

Yes it is definitly better than C, C++ or Objective-C, just not zero effort to keep it safe.
"What if the state itself propagates those "harmful information"

That would be preferable to an enemy doing it, as with the Russia / Trump affair, because your own state has less interest in ending itself than its enemies. Probably close to zero interest.
Patents dont mean crap tho right? Companies that have any idea file hundreds of patents per year just incase it becomes a thing. I wouldnt put too much stock into this.
> The gateway also does not connect to the internet, it is local network only and can be hooked up to the Apple/Google/Amazon systems for internet access.

In other words, it does connect to the internet, it also sits on the LAN to give attackers access to all your other devices, AND it sits on Zigbee to give attackers access to those as well.
We wouldn't ban noticing the statistical connection, but we might ban using it in court cases and hiring decisions.
They want to own them until they suddenly don't and the price plunges. We saw this in May 2021 with bitcoin. And with gold in 2011-2014, etc.. Silver in 2011. Everyone thought Bitcoin would keep going up due to stimulus spending, stimulus checks, and inflation, and when whoosh 40% lower. By the time you buy gold as a hedge, it is often too late..a lot of inflation is already priced in.

Is there some code? (in the page source?)
Yes. I should have been less sloppy: you'd have to rethink what the lamp needs to be able to do slightly, too.
Bandwidth limitation is a great example of how specific circumstances should dictate backup protocol. Tape absolutely makes sense there even in a home environment. In your case, if it was really critical, I'd probably want to get two tapes at certain intervals so I could ship a copy off site and have the off-site copy online in a dedicated server at a data center so I could retrieve critical files if needed. Probably too extreme for a home setup unless it's a home business, but I've also had to restore from an overnight tape when a database went corrupt (multiple times) so if I was still involved in that sort of sys admin work I'd be a bit paranoid.

As for financial issues with "unlimited", Backblaze has a roughly 15 year track record and has been profitable for almost as long. They're not a typical startup looking to pump up a customer base by selling below costs and then dump to an exit acquisition or IPO. Storage is cheap, and they have managed to build a business that doesn't screw up the economics of low marginal costs by becoming overly bloated.

That said, they're still one of of two layers of redundancy I use for my home backups. I've seen cloud services lose files, so I'm banking on the fact that my own storage won't go down at the same time as two cloud services.
Software isolation can still be exploited thanks to logical bugs, this was the whole issue with security exploits in Java applets.

Hence why there is really no alternative to multi-processes for security critical code.

You refer to Singularity, yet after Singularity, Microsoft Research was went down the path of exploriing other alternatives.

If the security model was so great, they would have doubled down on it.

Instead, after so many interactions, the main researchers have come out with Azure Sphere, which uses C (!) with a custom Linux kernel, and all the security layers are enforced via hardware.

If it really has to be hybrid only, would it be better if the in person office was set to one week a month? That way the remaining 3 weeks employees can do WFH, and also decide which one week/5days they would like to go in person.

I feel like this approach would make it more collaborative for employees as they can decide which days they want to go in person, probably pick a day when some/few office colleagues want to go into the office. Any important meetings can also be set for those days. People wouldn’t have to move to their actual cities in this fashion, also companies would still be seeing people in the office. Just a thought.
Ooh! I spent too much time on a wiki for The Baroque Cycle. I should try to bring that back up someday!
Yeah, it was mostly mp3 and ogg files. If you're suggesting flac would be better, I don't think flac adds much clarity over a decent 320 kbps mp3.
Probably not, but you might be able to pull off a Lords of Excrement cover by yourself
I mention GoT not because characters in GoT did immoral things, that's indeed fictional. I mention GoT, because the quality of entertainment dropped.

I guess I should have taken eg the Simpsons as a example. (Their quality dropped a lot after the first few seasons.)

Remote development machines aren't for everyone and availability will always be an issue.

I remember as a student trying to debug an issue on a train. I would have been so frustrated if the internet connection to my remote machine was impeding my ability to think through a debugging scenario.

I've been waiting on the beta list for almost a year I think and haven't heard anything.

Chernobyl had multiple effects on the Communist Party, but one that was important but intangible - the loss of credibility of the Party (the meltdown proved they couldn't manage a utility, and there was a huge coverup.)

After the USSR breakup, the CCP studied how to avoid the same fate. Partly that's the reason for the corona coverup.

What's interesting is that a failure of the Three Gorges Dam would cause both a Chernobyl situation from loss of cooling of multiple nuclear reactors, as well as flooding the Wuhan area, where the PLA/etc. joint command is located. The PLA maintains a military force around the dam to protect it.

Note that the Three Gorges Dam is not used for flood control , just electricity generation, which is controlled by one of the Dragon Families. The dam was deliberately made half-height (of what Russian engineers recommended) so that if it filled, it wouldn't flood a major city upstream.

Others have recommended Three Body. I’d second that. Amazing trilogy.

Rendezvous With Rama is one of my favorites.

I’d also recommend Children of Time and Children of Ruin by adrian tchaikovsky. It was one of those random ones I picked up with low expectations, and it turned out to be amazing. It’s well regarded now, but this was when it first came out.

Dune is one I recommend reading even if you’re aware of the story or the movie. It’s an amazingly creative work that lays the foundation of many modern science fiction concepts.

I’d also highly recommend Fire Upon the Deep.

Last ones I’ll recommend are the space odyssey books. I’m a huge fan of long timelines (if you couldn’t already tell) and this series spans 1000 years.
