Unless you are using an older hash function that doesn't have sufficient collision or preimage resistance, that should not be an issue, because finding 2 files that hash to the same output is infeasible. It does point to the need to be able to upgrade the hash function in your protocol at some point, and preferably associate a set of hashes generated by different hash functions to the same file contents.

> It also doesn't explain that this started long before COVID as well.

False, the price run-up started in April 2020, after staying in a fairly narrow band of prices for 40 years. By August 2020 prices had hit an all time high, and then continued to rise to 2.5x that previous record.

Compare these graphs, and explain why we should ignore the obvious possibility that this correlation might be meaningful. The money supply went from 4 trillion to 19 trillion (an increase of 4.75x) and the price of lumber went from $300 per 1000bf to $1500 per 1000bf, an increase of 5x over precisely the same period. Probably just a coincidence...

> What high level of production?

Wood production is at it's highest level since 2008. There was a slight dip during peak covid lockdown, but there was also an offsetting drop in demand during the same period so this can't be explained by the temporary drop in production.

> But there are areas where there is no reasonable way to replace animal testing.

Two specific examples for which animal testing seems essential:

1. Prediction of nanoparticle clearance from in vitro studies does not correlate with clearance in vivo. If you want to know where the particles go (do they hit the target organ/tumor at all? do they ever leave the body?) you need to do in vivo testing.

2. Adolescent idiopathic adolescent scoliosis can now be treated by vertebral tethering and growth modulation, not just bracing or fusion. Zimmer Biomet Spine recently had a device approved to deliver this treatment [0]. Exploratory research to establish cause-effect relationships between tethering and growth modulation depended on large animal models. It's not good to accidentally make a patient's spine worse because you don't understand what's going on.

Right. But as this is a constant across all US administrations' heads of state, as well as super majority of representatives in Congress it is currently useless to debate that and acknowledge the reality: it will be less objectionable to much of US population if Israel is able to implement due process to all of its citizens that more closely matches what occurs in the US.

How exactly does that work? Have trustees started accepting stablecoins for deposits? Are there auctions where you can pay with stablecoins? Or is it just for payments from foreclosure buyers to their representatives who make bids on the buyers' behalf?

I have had to do it once during the 12 years I have used git, so I seriously doubt that this is why people think git is hard. And I think that googling it would be fine in that case. That said: since I have done it once I could easily figure out how to do it again and it wasn't hard, just a bit cumbersome due to git's distributed nature.

Though the productivity differences aren't as large as one would think - protein conversion ratios for smaller animals tend to be 2-3. It's worse for beef (~10) but you have to consider that half the cows are creating milk which has a high protein conversion ratio. And it's potentially even better for animals when you consider the quality of protein - e.g. see https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jsfa.8362
Naftali Bennett is more theocratic than Netanyahu. He defends his arguments saying "The bible says...". He does this even in international interviews, where interviewers are looking for answers that a diverse audience can understand.

He served as an education minister in Israel despite being heavily theocratic. In the US, we mock people that try to teach intelligent design in schools. In Israel, you put them in charge of education.

You can respect freedom of religion but claiming that the Bible prevails over international law is just absurd.

Ratified treaties are law, not scriptures and books sacred to a religion. Many countries do not have an official religion and most states do not have Judaism as an official religion. The bible argument just doesn't work.

What is that kind of discourse going to achieve? Clearly making Israel more popular is not among those things.
What's to stop Amazon from splitting it's retail business into separate legal entities entities by category to stay under the arbitrary limits?

20 years ago the American left (depending on how far 'left' you mean) was advocating action against climate change, for universal health care, for abortion rights, against tax cuts for the wealthy, for more investment in public education, etc. They certainly did not advocate against immigrants, for nationalism or ethnic nationalism, hate speech, etc.

>I'm not really seeing much of a difference ? There is risk in everything...If you can't afford to lose, then don't bet?

The difference is that intrinsic value provides a floor for potential losses and therefore reduces risk. If you can't understand why a worst case scenario of losing 20% of your investment is better than a worst case scenario of losing 100% of your investment, then I don't think you and I are going to have any constructive discussions about investing.
I think it is more your interpretation of my take is weird because I never said anything approaching what you are suggesting.

You want privacy, buy in cash. Most cryptocurrencies don't provide added privacy and they usually end up decreasing privacy since all transactions are on the public ledger.

The type of thing I am talking about is people transferring money out of an economy in ways that are forbidden by the government. Governments can want to prevent this for legitimate reasons like trying to stop money laundering and tax evasion. They can also do it for illegitimate reasons like the government trying to retain authoritarian control over its citizens or to prop up a failing currency. Either way it would mean the transfers are illegal, but not all of them are necessarily immoral. That is why I dubbed it "criminal-like behavior".

The people who want to control other peoples' lives go into politics and activism, not business.
And I can respond to your "scam" claims:

> Bitcoin: Uses the electricity of a country to process 2 transactions per second. Layer 2 solutions such as Lightning Network have some significant drawbacks which make them unpractical and vulnerable to multiple attacks. They've been trying and talking it up for years - No results.

Can you be more specific about the drawbacks with layer 2 solutions such as lightning network? I use lightning from both the business and the consumer side, and from my perspective, it works just fine. I am able to make payments with negligible fees that settle instantly, and people are able to pay me (business) without any real problems. At this point, the vast majority of Bitcoin transactions I do settle on a layer 2. Frankly, it just kinda "works".

> Ethereum: Doesn't scale. The entire ecosystem (including all ERC20 tokens) together cannot process more than 30 transactions per second. New ERC20 tokens have to pay the same HUGE (e.g. $20 per transaction) fees as the mainchain; all tokens slow each other down (compete for resources from each other and drive up each other's transaction fees). They said that sharding was essentially ready years ago but now they've basically canceled it (or 'put it on the backburner' as they like to call it) in favor of extremely complex and vulnerable layer-2 ZK-Rollups solutions which are completely unproven (we don't know what will happen when many projects start adopting rollups; expensive on-chain interactions still need to happen).

What makes ZK-rollups "extremely complex and vulnerable"? And perhaps touch on optimistic rollups as well (since these are about to launch and will have dramatic increases in throughput as well)?

It seems to me that you are making grandiose claims of problems without any real evidence.

Social bonds, Office chat, meetings around a table, etc. There are so many things you can't get over a zoom call that not having a hybrid model is what I won't understand. You can have the best of both worlds and if that means that there are some limits on where you can live?

I saw someone say that a lot of what makes WFH successful currently are the bonds that we had built while working together... and that as time goes on, those bonds will loosen as new people come in that don't have those experiences and those hallway talk.

I think I agree with that... but it remains to be seen how things will work going forward. I see most companies going to a hybrid model. I see a large number of turnover at places that don't offer hybrid.

My current place of employement seems to be winding up towards hybrid and I have a long commute (had before covid). I'd be unhappy with 5 days meat in seat. I'll be very happy if I only have to be there 2 days a week. Still happy with only 3. Sad with 4. I'd probably hunt for a new job with 5. Maybe 4.

Apple's issue is it doesn't seem to care. I'm going to speculate that improving the developer experience has a low status on the management hierarchy. So even if some people do care they're clearly not being given the resources to do anything about it.

And the resources required are tiny. Technical writers are cheaper than developers, and you could hire a top team for $1m a year. Doubling that would still be a rounding error in Apple's revenue stream. Multiplying it by 10 and introducing good management would be enough to make Apple's dev docs world-beating and legendary.

Apple could also run developer classes and camps online and f2f, publish its own books, create a regular stream of developer newsletters and tech updates, run forums that are actually useful, and so on.

The fact that none of this is happening at scale is... unfortunate. WWDC is a small plug in a big hole, and doesn't come close to meeting the community's needs.

...and then Israel can build its own fighter jets? Count us in!

It's not "aid." It's fiscal transfer to vassal states (though 75% of it really goes to US corporations' pockets - aid isn't dollars but vouchers to spend on US products at 4x the market price) within the US empire. Just ask any non-voting subject of the empire.

BTW in numbers it's $4B/year - $3B to US firms, $1B to Israel. Our GDP is about $400B. Would we buy our independence for $1B per year, if the US was selling/if the world worked that way? You bet!

(And don't get me wrong, it might be the best empire to be the vassal of for Israel which is too small to be independent. Just let's call it what it is.)
Some time back I came across these articles..

https://sciencewithdrdoug.com/2021/02/15/breaking-study-shed...

I tried to find some "debunking" articles, but so far I could only find [1] which does not appear to do a good job of responding to the concerns raised in the article, and just reiterate what has been said already.

It also appears that similar question has been asked in Quora and there are people there that concludes.

but I suppose it allows for more customisability. Marking the existing one as deprecated would go a long way to solving the mystery. Assuming that’s even correct! This is where documentation beyond literally only detailing what the API does would be great.
What an absolutely shocking misrepresentation of the Buddha !

The Buddha rejected the authority of the Vedas entirely and this infuriated the Brahmins of that time. He had both philosophical and pragmatic objections to the theistic stance of Brahminical groups, along with a total rejection of their focus on mass animal slaughter in the name of rituals.

From the original Pali canon, this discourse captures the Buddha's position:

https://suttacentral.net/an3.61/en/sujato

And, Adi Sankara wrote an entire polemic trashing the Buddha as an insignificant man who should be shunned by everybody. Here is a passage straight from the Vedanta Sutras written by Sankara:

Moreover, Buddha by propounding the three mutually contradictory systems, teaching respectively the reality of the external world, the reality of ideas only, and general nothingness, has himself made it clear either that he was a man given to make incoherent assertions, or else that hatred of all beings induced him to propound absurd doctrines by accepting which they would become thoroughly confused.--So that--and this the Sutra means to indicate--Buddha's doctrine has to be entirely disregarded by all those who have a regard for their own happiness.

> Its inflation.

Yes, the increase in price of a good is the definition of inflation.

That’s a tautology, not an explanation.

(It is not general inflation, because the lumber price increases are way out of line with general inflation.)

> When you consider the fed printed trillions of dollars for easing in the last year this should be even more apparent.

That... doesn't explain the specific increase in lumber not seen across the broader market of goods and services.
Sure. That's an interest in getting work done, not putting my life under iron control. I got paid overtime for it, too.
I believe you're describing the sovereign holding "allodial title", which is (mostly) true in all jurisdictions deriving from English common law, including, for example, the US States (well, 49 of them), so it's not a practice constrained to England and Wales, or to monarchy. (But IANAL.)

I think some US States had a feature where you could pay a fixed amount to satisfy all future property taxes, but I don't believe it relieved the possibility of eminent domain, escheat, or police power.
It was also assembly and pascal for the longest time, even when most folks had switched over to C.

The heyday was an app that had digitized all the documentation and iirc the code examples were in C. It had hyperlinks between pages. Quite nice pre web reference material.

Their code examples were also helpful, but things like low level double buffered sound recording or high performance animation was left as an exercise to the reader.
The fact that ISPs don't even come close to those numbers is a good example of why tech companies are a much bigger problem than ISPs. ISPs are the monster under the bed big tech has been paying people to scare you with so you don't look too closely at them.

I've been using LMDE for about a year and a half and it's been great. Originally discovered it when I was having issues trying to update to the latest version of Cinnamon on Debian 9. I have it highly customized compared to what comes out of the box. I've tried XFCE, MATE, and Gnome, but I just feel at home with Cinnamon. What's nice about LMDE is that the Cinnamon DE is always up-to-date compared to the version that's available on Debian 10.
