Let me rephrase: the observable universe is strictly speaking not Turing-complete :)
it's fairly circular actually - we used Yggdrasil in some of the earlier P2P Matrix POCs. This showed up some limitations, so we worked on solutions for them (alongside Yggdrasil) which became Pinecone on the Matrix side, and Ironwood on the Yggdrasil side. Then Yggdrasil 0.4 is incorporating them for general purpose IP overlay routing, while Pinecone is focusing on Matrix-specific application layer overlay routing. Perhaps the two will converge in the end, but until then they're somewhat overlapping friendly sister projects :)

Unless you're at a very small company, this is essentially giving up all the dev work and moving in to a different career entirely. Make sure that's definitely what you want to do before taking the leap across to management. Some people (eg me) really don't like it, aren't particularly good at it, and realise it was a mistake before going back to a dev role.

2. Oil change - did not put the oil cap back on.

3. Alignment 15 mins after buying new tires at Costco and changing the a day ago "...your tires are looking kind of worn and you DEFINITELY need an oil change."

Lists of Unsolved Problems by Field
"An also-ran" is an idiom that means, basically, "not a top performer". As I understand it, it's originally from listings of athletics (EDIT: Or horse racing?) event results: "Winner, blah; second place, blah; third place, blah; also ran: blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and blah".

The second sentence, about "recover its footing", means to stop stumbling. This is a metaphor like "get back on track", meaning to start performing better. It was most probably chosen to extend the "running" theme from the first sentence.
One reason we don't do nuclear is not enough people are skilled in it, we don't want to invest in building them after just having decommissioned two, and they are the ultimate NIMBY powerplant. Tell people there's a coal plant and they may get upset. Tell them there's a nuclear power plant after just having seen the HBO series Chernobyl and guess how fast they'll be knocking down the city governments door to not allow it. You're spot on really. People just don't trust it and there's nothing we can do about it.

So Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk (and other stupidly rich executives) created hundreds of billions of dollars of value themselves?

Of course not. They got their through exploitation. Any profit that a business has is value not being paid back to the actual workers who created the value of the company through their labor.

Nobody has ever worked for $100 billion. Or $1 billion. Or $100 million.

I never intended to make profit from this.

But the fact that Apple thinks email privacy is important, made me think there may be something here.

I am sure this does not answer your question, but hope that helps with some context.
Thank you for your answer.

I think I got it. I propose an anectode from personal experience, with an actual risk realized and my understanding in conclusion, to see if I got what you wrote clearly :

It is advised not to drink at all before driving, nor to be a passenger of such a driver as you risk death. But, there are still seat-belts. While most national laws allows you to drive fine with one glass of wine (people generally drive just fine in such circumstances), they don't allow you not to have your seat-belt on. That's law, even if those belts might sometimes hurt you while acting (broken rib, chafing).

I followed the first and second rule from years 18 -> 26 accident free. The first time I broke the first, I got into a bad accident, but with seat-belts on. We were extirpated from a frontal collision with a very solid static object at 80 mph. Myself and my passenger didn't literally even have a scratch on us. The car had become a contemporary art sculpture. The police on the scene couldn't believe their eyes.

So, risk tiny enough for laws to allow it (your risking an accident no matter what while driving, even without alcohol) but once realized (driving with alcohol without a seat-belt), you have a higher probability of morbidity or lethality without the second protection measure, the seat-belt.

Hence, in the case of natural immunity and mRNA treatments, two protection measures are better than one at giving you that slight edge against higher risks morbidity or lethality from catching a new Covid variant, which are greater than the risk of morbidity coming from second measure.

Did I understand you correctly ?

Eh - yes? What would be the problem with this?

On a practical level, if this was implemented, I am sure the market would quickly create funds that payed out at exactly the right level to fund this. Here in Denmark, ETF's are always taxed this way and any losses can be carried forward.

The one area where this can get problematic is things like a a big family business that is not providing enough profit to pay the tax. Such a business would end up getting liquidated, which makes sense from a free market perspective, but would make for some great "taxman killed family business"-headlines.
Bitcoin is more just used to refer to cryptocurrency in general. I think most people seriously using cryptocurrency these days do not use bitcoin.
I’d be curious about that as well! One thing I noticed is that the blog posts I’ve seen on streaming setups with dedicated cameras tend to focus on using bits of kit to make something similar to a standard webcam setup—except with better sound, lighting etc. But you can of course experiment way more with how you place yourself in the frame (if you even want to be in the frame!) Instead of frontal, the perspective can be from the sides, the top… Which ties in to what sense of space you want to project… we’re now so accustomed to see a webcam-sized corner of a room, but you could show an entire room, or only a small detail, like a part of an instrument or something… The advantage of playing with framing is that you can do it in advance of the performance, because while live I imagine you will have to focus on the music itself!
I think once electric motorbikes are a bit more viable, internal combustion ones should be banned. I'm sure there's plenty of responsible bike owners, but the bad eggs are _really_ bad.

True — which is one of the reasons why JPEG XL includes a risk-free JPEG recompression option: if needed, you can just undo it and get the bit-exact same JPEG files back.

Applying lossy recompression on already-lossy-compressed images is something you should avoid at all cost, since it inevitably causes generation loss (and it is also likely to not be very effective, since you're basically spending a lot of bits in the new codec on replicating compression artifacts of the old codec).
I've noticed sometimes that when Cloudflare optimises images and serves up their own WebP versions of your existing images, if you go to save it you get the original jpg/png back.

Presumably the HTTP request that gets sent when you save an image sends different Accept headers.

Doesn't seem to work all the time, but presumably thats down to a combination of different Cloudflare settings, origin server configuration and what format the original image were in too.
The problem is the following: An export surplus is unsustainable over the long term. Achieving balanced trade is a good thing. However, if the entirety of your wealth is built on oil exports, it also means it is very cheap to import everything that isn't oil as people must sell you their (non oil) things in exchange for your oil.

You must diversify your economy to become less dependent on oil. However, it is easy for the government to take control over oil. The president can become a multi billionaire while ignoring the rest of your country.

These articles are all based on one (exciting, if you're a data journalist) source - the tax returns that the IRS leaked to ProPublica. The leak may probably be part of an effort on the part of the US government to spin up narrative preparing the public for an increase in taxes.

Are you keeping a copy of everyone's emails so you can mine them and sell the data? You'd make a fortune. That stuff is worth a lot.

Also, can you prove that's not happening?
We could aerobrake it around Saturn.
Yes according to the textbooks, production should go down if you remove desperation as a motivator to work, in the real world however almost every data point collected shows the opposite effect on the overall productivity, ie societies with extensive welfare schemes outproduce those who don't allow people an exit from the rat-race. Nobody have gone full UBI yet but the economies that have gone the closest to actually implementing UBI(say Scandinavia) is among the most productive and healthy economies around.

What does tend to happen when a system is put in place to provide support for those who refuses to accept any employment, is that the ability for wealth hoarders to use their hoards as a lever go gain more wealth and power declines as the bargaining power gets more even.

One of the benefits of universal(non-means-tested) welfare project is that the graft and administration overhead of those systems tend to be much lower then "charity" based welfare projects and UBI is the ultimate in low overhead universal welfare. And when you look at the structure of most post-industrial economies admin overhead and graft is more then 50% of the economy, i.e. it's by no means a given that we cannot keep up production of goods and services with even 60% of the population of UBI.
> I don’t know where you got the idea that American suburbians don’t garden, but it’s 100% bullshit.

Yea idk. I can walk down my street and look into backyards (not very many fences here) and I don't see any gardens. None.

So, I'm speaking generally but in my experience the vast majority of people in the suburbs do not actually garden. Landscape, sure, and a lot of times they pay some cheap labor to do that. Actually garden and grow food? Very few.
Here's a contemporary example: We can, right now, hold USD equivalents in kava.io . It operates on a system which is analogous to fractional reserve banking, except with no middlemen, so your effective interest rate is better by an order of magnitude. It's relatively simple to use. Giving a bank your trust a and a big cut of your returns is going to be a hard sell when that's your normal as a kid.

But it isn't "an algorithm", it's hundreds or thousands of decisions about how to interpret data.

The same way people buy stuff like marijuana, prostitution, alcohol where all those things are illegal, except people who have those preferences are few and far in between, whereas everybody and their brother is afraid of inflation, debasement and be diluted by the government and the Fed with the excuse of economic recovery.

My prediction is that over time people would simply find a btc dealer and pay them with wire transfer and lie to their bank about the reason of the transfer

Same thing with Paypal, credit cards etc. Every regular business is a potential dark crypto exchanger where a person goes there (either physically or online) and there is a tacit deal that they'd pay money but the business won't provide them any goods or services, they'd send them cryptocurrencies instead.

That's what true decentralization looks like, a global opaque market where each transaction ought to be negotiated individually between 2 parties.

LocalBitcoins.com tried, but people preferred the convenience of exchanges such as coinbase, they'd have to learn the hard way when government cracks down on those.

That's really unstoppable, you can never shut it down

A huge benefit is also that there would not be an notorious and advertised global price which people can point at and become envious about those who bought bitcoin at 0,01$. Those people are the biggest opposition to BTC/crypto. Not the environmentally concened, but those who think they missed the boat and and now want to gang up on crypto to destroy other people's gains and re-establish parity. Many environmentally concerned are just envious people who use the environment as the excuse , but they really can't stand the wealth differential which emerged between themselves who missed the boat and the early adopters.ff
There's nothing wrong with the English word "curated". I think pp is being a little punctilious. The writer just means that they aren't giving you a random data dump, they've engaged in some activity analogous to e.g. the curator of a museum, to select which data is worth showing. Pp is asking "does this mean that they have made a specific decision about all the data that is shown?" when I think it means they've probably tweaked parameters to show information they find useful given various densities and contexts.

How good their curation is remains to be seen of course.
No I do not keep any emails, and a valid concern for sure.

I mean I do not have an easy way to show anyone. But I have thought about how to deal with such a request, and my thinking was to have a video call with someone and show. For the moment that is how I would solve that. Not ideal but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Although the Moscow demo[0] look better (in my eyes) in jxl than wepb.

Note also that JXL is still being worked on. We have no information also about which encoder was used (I am assuming the reference encoder, since it is the only one that I know off right now) and which version.

Edit: the Citroën demo is also a clear win for JXL.

Yep.

Even did a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkh4oagFfb8

Got out my old Moto Z Play which was retired. Restarted the phone so I couldn't use fingerprint to unlock.

Plugged in a mouse, clicked pin. Unlocked.

Moto Z Play runs Nougat, stock but rooted. You don't need root to be able to do this nor do you need ADB to be enabled.

Also confirmed to be working on Razer Phone (stock, 9/Pie) and Essential Phone (stock, 10). Also works with Keyboard instead of mouse. Just type in the pin and hit enter.

Pattern unlock will have to be done with the mouse for obvious reasons.

So if your digitizer is completely busted, you can still use a mouse and keyboard. If your display is completely busted, you likely will be able to get video alt mode with USB C out.

I tried it on a few other devices that I had in my pile. Chances are, if it's Micro USB, you won't get video on boot, even with a proper MHL adapter.

* Sony Xperia J (Jelly Bean): Nothing, Micro USB

* Sony Xperia Play (Gingerbread): Nothing, Micro USB

* Marshall London (Lollipop): Mouse and Keyboard Works, Micro USB

* Asus Zenphone 3 Zoom (Nougat): Mouse and keyboard works, USB C

IIRC, Displaylink and OTG support was officially added in Lollipop, so that kind of jives with my experience here. As always, YMMV.
I did not expect this paper to be about people believing they literally can become pregnant with a puppy from interaction (e.g. bite) with a dog.
