I'm not sure I understand your reasoning regarding the price of bitcoin staying the same and the miners having an incentive to double their hashpower. In the situation you described, you'd have the same hashing power but half the energy cost? Doubling it would double their hashing power and keep the energy cost the same. I don't see how this doesn't lead to a more secure network?

I don't think you can neglect the price of a new ASIC in a real situation though, those things are very expensive. Where it was first possible to attack the network using regular hardware, it now requires a much bigger capital investment. When ASICs were first released they had a bigger advantage than they have now, it seems unlikely a 2x improvement over the previous generation is still possible (assuming it was possible before, I didn't check).

the general concept of antibody tests. Antibodies have serious dilution. Detection is a challenging problem. Many antibody tests (ex. measles) has a pretty high (in my unqualified opinion) false negative rate. Its a tough problem to solve in general.

I did a month long stay with AirBnB in Miami and had an awesome time. I got a nice studio in a great location for $80/night. The various fees were offset by the discount for the long-term stay -- it would be really hard to do that with hotels.

Interesting read. I'd recommend rudder over segment in a lot of cases. Even for the plug and play use case you mentioned, they can do that very well too these days... At a fraction of the cost.
Great idea. This guy should have paid $50,000 instead of $100 with next day shipping.
What is the point of having a WebRTC standard if Google doesn't even follow it? Mozilla Firefox is given the shaft for many services because they don't support Chrome-only WebRTC APIs? Chrome and Google are bad for diversity on the web.

There are companies and people specialized to get grants and funding from the eu. They will take 15-20% . Most of the time the money goes to incompetent companies, but with good connections. Normally you’d call this corruption, but of course that doesn’t happen here.

Nice work though, looks really promising!
Can attest to this. We maintain different sales channels for all EU countries.
Great point, and you’re right – I do want to see them succeed. I suppose I just hope success doesn’t end up impeding the framework. As it is we happily pay for staging on their infrastructure, so we don’t have any issues with supporting their efforts monetarily. Hopefully that clarifies my concern better.
I've been to the fire temple in Yazd and there was an inscription on the wall. I don't remember the details but the main gist of it was about remaining open minded and welcoming new ideas. I'm not sure if this is a core tenet of Zoroastrianism or if it was a local thing but I don't know of another ancient religion with that emphasis.
Ok - I'm curious. What did you do? You said it was "white-collar", can you give any further specifics?
I agree, but is it even possible to effectively monetize a VS code plugin?
Europe, at least Sweden, used to have this approach for the traditional industry, e.g. companies like Ericsson, SAAB, Volvo, is/was all heavily involved in the Swedish defense industry with government backing and at the same time they sold consumer products.

Perhaps the ending of the cold war ended this policy, thus a boom of new companies never took place.
The problem is that they followed the classic of denying everything they could until evidence against it turned up:

1. we didn't do it

2. we did it by accident in small cases

3. we did it by accident in worse cases

4. we did it intentionally but one guy was responsible

5. we did it but it was just one rouge dev. team

Add to that the unredacted report noting that Google kept delaying and hindering the investigation and it is rather clear that "6. we did it and management was neck deep into it" is more likely than not.
To be honest I always associate Knoxville and Jackass with the happiest period of my life - one specific winter in my early teenage years - my parents were working around the clock and were never home so my best friend was skipping his volleyball practices and was coming ofer to our place and we'd watch jackass all day long. Just recently it struck me that Knoxville was younger than I am now.
the thing is UX people aren't even responsible for a lot of these messes. Look at Reddit and tell me that wasn't designed by some A/B-maximizing staple-counting corporate robot trying to bump up their "engagement" stat by 1/1000th of a percent. Their site is pretty much the parable of the Paperclip Maximizer AI. I refuse to believe any human was involved in their new design.

Having flown SouthWest hundreds of times, their performance is quite good when things work. However, in my experience, when things fail their performance suffers worse than several other airlines. It think it's because they intentionally run their systems to maximize efficiency which means less resilience to unexpected failures.

Years ago, they compensated for this with generally lower prices. However, in more recent years, I've noticed their pricing isn't nearly as advantageous compared to competitors. Yes, if you're one of the first 20% to book a flight six weeks in advance, and can accept little flexibility in terms, and are willing to go at a less desirable time, there are still deals to be had. But in any other scenario I've found United, American, Delta, etc to sometimes actually be cheaper, which was previously rarely the case.
Now that you mention it, there does seem to be a bit of a lag before that animation starts. Will look into it.

If you are learning, you should stay far away from "visual builders". Unfortunately, these things will make you learn slower because they often prioritize visual design over sound, structural code. Learn the basics first. If you want to learn React, just download it, read the official docs and use `create-react-app`.
You might be interested in a project I created for exactly the use case you describe - simple, text-based notes/todos managed via a CLI: https://github.com/dkaslovsky/textnote

The project received some attention on the front page of HN a few months ago:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26123436

Because all notes are plaintext and stored in a single directory, it is easy to use standard tooling (such as grep) to extend the functionality. If cloud synchronization is a must-have, simply sync the directory to your provider of choice.

If my memory serves correctly, revenue from CorelDraw also began to decrease around that time. The market underwent a recession after the dot com boom turned into a bust, and a lot of companies that had been flush with cash had to cancel projects that were not essential to their core business.

It's quite sad. WordPerfect was a product I used a lot in the 1990s. LibreOffice and Word drives me nuts these days as so many things with the document model just don't make sense, whereas WordPerfect 5.1 and reveal codes made it easy to delete stray formatting codes to get the desired results.
I just hope they go deep and fix real issues instead of playing with UI.

One caveat with this method is that your source control system evolves and things get archived. Code is around forever but everything around it may change.

10 or 20 years from now your code may still be running, the issue system or the git commit log may not be.

I'm guessing you're not European from this comment. This is not meant as an attack; it just seems like your comment lacks the perspective of actually living in the EU.

Southwest's stock price seems to be unaffected by the outage. Southwest is down 0.28% on the day, but most of that drop happened at market open, before this incident, and is probably related to the S&P 500 being down 0.21% over a similar time period. Southwest's stock stabilized at shortly before 10am, and is actually up almost a tenth since then.

Sure, but that doesn't really change anything about the fact that when an American hears "Coq" they also hear "cock."

There are many similar stories about English words sounding like profanity when (badly) pronounced in Chinese.

They're bad for branding and brands avoid them.

Now, I like "Coq" and the story about the cheeky French people trying to one up anglophones, but that's not really enough to make it a good name.

Then again I recall some people calling a compiler "Stalin" so, could be worse.
They fell out of favour because you couldn't realistically build a dynamic site that didn't generate spaghetti code. They were fine for static sites, but the moment you needed to make things _happen_ they become unmaintainable, unversioned messes.

But a Twitter URL actually shows a thread, not just a single tweet. And this thread had a lot more links than just that single WSJ article. On the whole, I think the substitution was for the worse, not better. (And if the guidelines actually demand it, they need to be changed.)
Yeah. My problem is that my "really bad cold that lingered" was in February 2020.

That is late enough in the timeline, and the testing at that time was so insufficient, that it's really hard to say.

I don't recall losing my sense of smell, but I have been struggling more with concentration issues and depression since then. Of course, that could also be due to all the stress over losing a friend to COVID, the lockdown, the political situation in the US, etc.

The biggest disappointment for me in the whole COVID response has been the complete failure of ramping up COVID testing and doing random testing or testing of those who hadn't traveled to China.
Ah, but the difference is that the twitter right wing is wrong.

Just because they say it too doesn't make the correct side less correct.
There was definitely something going around late 2019/early 2020. I had it, and so did many people I know.

But it's very unlikely it was Covid, because Covid is much more infectious and more deadly than both colds and flu.

People weren't masking or taking any precautions then, so Covid would have spread very quickly indeed. And that would have created an obvious medical emergency, with hospitals at full capacity and a clear peak in unexpected deaths.

Relatively minor symptoms, no huge increase in hospitalisations, and no huge peak in deaths all suggest Covid wasn't the culprit.
Great to hear. America has not been doing nearly enough to empower Blxck people and ensure their ethnic legacy.

Also important to keep in mind that white people are the largest ethnic group in the US, so any resulting hit to American productivity will mostly help to dismantle white supremacy.
That sounds like a very different argument.
Yes but even assuming he tests positive for antibodies , it is way more likely that it would be due to a more recent but completely asymptomatic infection rather than due to a very very early infection when the only few cases we know weren't even in the same region.
In flight weather can be observed (most airliners have weather radar onboard) and the pilots can check on weather along their route with controllers and at the destination or in specific places by electronic inquiry.

I agree - I’m meeting with a coach to get programming because I’m kind of tired of researching to get the best results. It’ll cost a fair chunk of change, but it’ll save me a lot of time and energy too. I just want to focus on doing a great program to the best of my ability, not actually programming it all. Or failing to.

I bought a Remarkable 2 for note taking and annotating scientific papers. As far as it's promise of "better paper", I think it's only partly fulfilled. I haven't returned it, but I'm sadly also not using it regularly.

It's obviously better than paper since you don't end up with stacks of printed articles. The feel of reading and writing is also exactly like paper, which is great. You get some basic select/cut/paste functionality, which improves on paper. But.

I used it to take notes at work, create simple TODO lists etc. The issue with this is that the resulting notes are way harder to navigate than a simple paper notebook, as the software doesn't support even basic bookmarks. Whereas with paper I can add bookmarks as I please, a paper organizer notebook allows me to navigate my calendar easily etc. I'm still amazed that the RM software offers absolutely no functionality for such navigation. This is a huge drawback for me.

When using it to annotate PDFs, the app offers you a few tools (pencil, pen, eraser, etc). Ideally you'd like to fit the article on the remaining portion of the screen, possibly cropping the margins if your the article is created for a different page size and your eyesight is as bad as mine. But the support for this sucks, as the toolbox always covers a piece of the document, so you end up having to hide/unhide it constantly.

Next, while the pen feels quite good, and feels almost as precise as a real pencil, I find the eraser quite hard to control. It erases an area somewhere around the end of the pen, but unlike a physical eraser, you don't see its boundaries. There's no support for stroke-based erasing. Finally, stating the obvious, the device is black-and-white. But I find different colors helpful when annotating papers, or creating sketches of systems etc.

So right now I can't really recommend the device, but I'm still holding onto mine hoping it will improve. I think the hardware can serve as a basis for better paper - but I think the software would need many of the features of http://www.styluslabs.com/ to get there
The M2 isn't out yet, so we don't know what it can beat. But core for core, Apple Silicon has the best performance by a wide margin with much lower power consumption than any x86 part (because while we weren't looking, RISC architecture really did change everything). Plus, its on-chip memory will equate, in a Mac Pro-like system, to gigabytes of L3 cache. Add on to that that Big Sur and later are specially optimized for the Apple chips, meaning that performance cores won't be burdened with the background tasks the OS performs, leaving 100% of their throughput available for user applications. So yeah, core for core the Threadripper will get smoked, and I wouldn't be surprised if an M2 with half the number of performance cores as a Threadripper has remains competitive with the TR for representative tasks (such as video editing, rendering, and encoding).
It bothers me when they're quick to make empty efforts like this yet when it comes to doing anything that actually matters an overwhelming majority of them (on both sides) will vote against it.
That was fascinating -- thanks for the link!
This is going to sound like an odd question -- does the Supernote do too much? Or is it still simple to use?

I've been wavering on a RM2. I already have an iPad with the Paperlike screen cover. And I absolutely love writing on it. However, it has two downsides for me that keep me from using it all the time for notes:

1) It's still pretty heavy

2) It does too much. Seriously, I also have a keyboard for it, and there are tons of apps that I can use. This is the problem -- because it can do so much, I can't just use it for only notes.

I never heard of the Supernote until today, but it sounds great. I'm just worried that it might do a little too much? I'd love to have a note taking device that I used as much as I used to use a paper notebook.

>> Philosophical question but why do we still use nurbs instead of, for example, subdivision surfaces?

Subdivision surfaces are a generalization of B-spline surfaces that predate them. History aside, sub-d surfaces can not exactly represent circles, cylinders, or torri. When you're designing real objects - rotating machines in particular - you want perfect circles. Round wheels and bearings. Trimmed NURBS (which result from itersections) are also easy to model features like chamfers, where again subdivision surfaces may fall down. Pixars creased subdivision surfaces probably do a bit better for things like chamfers. Nurbs are a better fit for modeling the kind of surfaces created by traditional machining operations. You wanna make movies? Use subdivision surfaces. Wanna design mechanical devices? Use NURBS.

I'd like to see something better, but the industry isn't likely to change. Open source is IMHO the way to go with any fundamentally new representation.
I love Solvespace. It really changed the way that I perceive CAD when I got into designing 3d printed parts that needed to fit together.

Hinduism is not really a "religion", as the western term implies. From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism#Definitions

Hinduism includes a diversity of ideas on spirituality and traditions, but has no ecclesiastical order, no unquestionable religious authorities, no governing body, no prophet(s) nor any binding holy book; Hindus can choose to be polytheistic, pantheistic, panentheistic, pandeistic, henotheistic, monotheistic, monistic, agnostic, atheistic or humanist. According to Doniger, "ideas about all the major issues of faith and lifestyle – vegetarianism, nonviolence, belief in rebirth, even caste – are subjects of debate, not dogma.
