>From the data & trend on % renewable energy use & the absolute figures compared to, for instance, energery use by [arguably displaceable] financial co's, that seems a little weak.

Environmental concerns are very fashionable ways to get out of dealing with it, whether true or not. But on your point directly, bitcoin won't displace most financial companies so the implementation of bitcoin doesn't mean anything about that.

A webassembly CPU in a FPGA could be quite a thing. Not sure how fast, but perhaps the processor could be implemented as an accelerator of opcodes generated by having WASM transformed into something at a lower level. Direct execution might be too slow. Still, speed isn’t everything and first generation doesn't need to be for prime-time.

Bigger question is: is this useful? Does it have an actual application that can drive it forwards? A solid yes to that question shoves all the others to the side.

Useful might at first just mean "hey its going to run my blinky lights using WASM instead of arm/avr/etc!" If so, then you already have a winner as soon as it hits the FPGA bitstream flash. From there you can add support for all those pmods on your dev board and off you go.

A register based ISA implicitly conveys dependencies between instructions.

This allows the CPU to infer which instructions can be executed in parallel (superscalar execution).

Extracting instructions level parallelism (ILP) from a stack oriented is harder, but if a compiler can do it, technically a CPU could do the same. The question is: what would be the advantage?

ILP extraction can be done statically. Doing it on a CPU at runtime would cost time and power. OTOH, stack based instruction sets tend to be more compact, so there is less pressure to the memory hierarchy to pull in the code, leaving more bandwidth for operands, and thus reducing stalls.

CPU design is a tradeoff in a tradeoff in a tradeoff.
> I think this is basically what's happening on the JCK plane with glyphs that have the same code, but slightly different representations depending on the font (e.g. Chinese or Japanese), with potentially wildly different meanings in the language they are used.

It was even more dumb when they did it for CJK. Unicode is now neither fish nor fowl; you can't rely on things to look the same in different places, but you can't rely on them to mean the same either; there's no proper separation of concerns because they decided it's fine for the meaning of a character to change based on the font you're using.

It also appears that the concerns are not strong, more wishy-washy comments that could be disputed or clarified eventually. Wonder what they say if/when more countries do inquiries and adopt Bitcoin.

For something to be predictive in a scientific sense, it has to be repeatable. There is so much variety in individuals and their environments that most social sciences have little repeatability - they mostly study affluent western college students who have time to volunteer for college psychology studies. However, if you're mostly an affluent western college student, chances are that you can take some value out of the studies because they're selected for your environment rather than humanity as a whole (which is what they purport to do by claiming to study 'psychology' rather than western college students specifically).

Closest analogy off the top of my head is psychiatric drugs: their efficacy is generally bottom of the barrel except for some group with factor X (each drug has their own unique factor X). For the vast majority of these drugs, we have no method of screening for whether a person has factor X - we don't even know what it is most of the time - so doctors have to go through a process of trial and error with patients until they find the right drug or combination. Once they do, it's like a night and day difference for the patient, yet if we applied the same standard of evidence for psychiatric drugs that we do for blood pressure pills, we'd never make any progress. A lot of the drugs look like they don't work in phase III and we have no way to predict which drug which help which patient but the patients figure it out with their doctors because they have actionable data, even if it isn't predictive in general.

I'm able to enjoy blues because I understand basics of it, but jazz seems way over my head. I wish there was a course, a series that could teach you how to listen.
I rather like the filibuster. Admittedly I am not a politically minded person, but I’ve always felt there needs to be a brake on the tyranny of the majority.

Having worked for a similar international government type organisation before, this would mean:

1) Hiring someone like IBM to implement the project, who would charge roughly 10x per man hour what they would have to pay for an internal team to do it, as well as licensing fees for various IBMs products that they don't really need.

2) IBM would find a group of junior level developers to build it, who would work about as well as you would expect given the constantly changing requirements dictated by a comittee who can barely spell blockchain.

3) After an overrun of 6-12 months the project would be scrapped, and whichever C-level manager who was incharge of it at IMF would be able blame IBM.

4) Said manager would then be able to take this experience and find a similar level position in private industry, paying 10x what he was on before. He'd celebrate his new job, by playing a round of golf with his IBM buddies.
That only works because the Editions get updated after being released.

The same can happen to ISO C and C++, that is what technical revision documents are for.

> Therefore, the answer to the question of, say, “what is a valid C++14 program?” changes over time, up until the publication of C++17, and so forth. In practice, the situation is a bit more complicated when compiler vendors offer conformance modes for specific language revisions (e.g. -std=c++11, -std=c++17). Vendors may consider defect resolutions to apply to any historic revision that contains the defect (whereas ISO considers only the most recent publication as the Standard).

In both cases, it is expected that compilers update their understanding what a specific language revision means.

I still think my position is very different, and your position still sounds to me like it would ignore known facts if they don't fit a useful narrative.

Let's take some concrete examples. Say that a Volkswagen engineer came to a hypothetical ethical manager and said that they had discovered some of their cars' emissions were much higher in real life conditions than in the lab tests they reported. If the manager cared about the truth, they would investigate to find out how this came to be. If they cared about utility, they would hide this information, as it may cause Volkswagen to lose an edge.

Similarly for historical purposes - an ethical historian who is interested in helping the English public have a good image of itself would discard information about the horrors that the British Empire forced many people through, and only discuss the nice things they did. After all, truth doesn't exist, so why complicate the story?
The World Bank would respond to such a request from a Government, it doesn't mean it's a 'big deal'.

Their statement is clear.

They very politely and in so many words saying:

1) To start you are corrupt and none of this will work without solving that 2) it makes no financial sense and 3) there are real environmental concerns.

When they sat 'transparency' what they mean is 'you are corrupt'.

When they cite 'regulatory, financial and legal concerns' they meant it.

And the environmental concerns are legit.

It's exactly and predictably the answer that any of their sane financial leaders would expect.

> When territories are unable to be held on to they are no longer territories of their metropole but independent states.

In other words, you redefine words to avoid admitting any flaws in your argument. The United States was a territory of the British Empire. The British Empire failed to "overrun" them when it got "upset enough" (your words). So your argument fails for this case. You can't change that by redefining words.

> The US was heavily settled by the time it gained independence it could hardly be called a colony anymore at that point.

Excuse me? Being "heavily settled" in no way prevents a place from being a territory of a foreign empire. The population of India during British rule was far larger than the population of the British colonies in North America in the 1770s. That didn't stop India from being a territory of the British Empire.

> a large Earth based nation capable of colonizing other worlds

Colonizing other worlds is a lot easier than controlling them from tens of millions of miles away once they're colonized. The former just takes enough people willing to make the trip and a spaceship that can make the journey. The latter takes the ability to project overwhelming military force across that distance, which is a lot harder.

Also, I am not saying that, for example, a Mars colony must become independent. I'm simply saying that whether or not it does will depend on the motivations of the people in the colony. If those people remain loyal to Earth, the colony will. If those people stop being loyal to Earth, they will start acting independently, and there won't be a lot that Earth can do about it.

The proposed solution is crazy. Logarithms are extremely expensive to compute. No way is this code more efficient than the loop it "replaced".

That there then are numeric stability issues and a pretty gross fudge factor is used to fix them worsens the situation. I would have a quiet word with any programmer I worked with that came up with this "solution".
