Not OP, but I have also been curious of the popularity of the actual set of transactions that serve utility and result, or facilitate, an exchange between two actors where one of them is providing something tangible (i.e, transactions other than acquiring cryptocurrency to hold, and then exiting back to fiat after some period of it).

Obviously this will be difficult to actually know, for reasons that it's "hard to trace" but also most studies are likely biased in one direction (for the concept of cryptocurrency) or the other (against the concept of cryptocurrency).

My intuition tells me that most transactions (at least in absolute fiat dollars) that result in an exchange of tangible assets are largely illicit transactions that would otherwise be frowned upon the individual's place of residence (e.g., ransomware, drugs, money laundering), but I don't know how that compares to other forms like standard retail services, local inflation hedging, or overseas transfers. The former group (in particular ransomware) is certainly enabled significantly more due to the existence of cryptocurrency however.

Yes - they don't want to flood the used book market with paperbacks, which would compete with future sales of the same title.

If you're a bookstore and a hardcover doesn't sell, you have to return the whole book to the publisher. If a paperback doesn't sell, you just have to rip off the front cover and return that to the publisher.

I still think developers should not be able to upload binary blobs to the store. The store should prescribe an official set of tools and build options. Developers should be required to upload their source code and build instructions.

The store will then build the application binaries based on provided instructions, run tests to make sure the application meets store criteria, and publish it if everything looks good. Perhaps there will need to be some manual intervention when necessary but we should be able to automate things more as we see more use cases.

That and the client "store" should be decoupled from the server store and users should be able to add/remove server stores as they see fit.
3M also makes black sticky notes (intended for use with gel pens). Cut a piece off the sticky area and it blends in perfectly with ThinkPad matte black bezels. I also recommend putting another small piece on the backside (to make a "band-aid" shape) just to ensure that no adhesive gets left on your webcam lens cover.

88 out of the 100 top Steam games are not representative of desktop gaming in general, even less "crushing" windows, where games run out of the box, and as intended ("platinum").

The value 88(%) is also misleading. It represents games running at least at bronze level (the lowest quality of a playable game). The percentage of perfectly running games (via Proton) is 15%.

I support Proton as a shortcut to release Linux-compatible games, but there's no comparison, in the big picture.

It’s not mismanaged if you are the right demographic. Austin experienced a radical change in culture when the city council discovered it was quite profitable to cater to non-residents. This started with building a large convention center and promoting Austin as a destination for corporate events. Followed by pumping money into large scale socials such as ACL and SXSW. This in effect turned Austin into a “tourist” destination which brought large volumes of well-capitalized people through the city on a regular basis. Businesses adapted to the new clientele and many liked the Austin culture enough to move here. Finally, the city has implemented many policies to attract businesses here with nearly every FANG having a significant presence. This has attracted even more people to move here as there are jobs available and no state income tax. Where this has all gone wrong is that the city has neglected the existing residents while focusing on attracting new ones. The result is that most long-term residents can no longer afford to live here and the racial and socioeconomic diversity has tragically declined as a result. If you are young with no kids or generally fit in the “yuppie” category then Austin will serve you well. Austin’s “starving musicians and artists” of yore are now gone since not many can afford to live in Austin anymore. Perhaps one could say the city has mismanaged its culture but otherwise the city is doing very well and is prosperous.

I’ll stick to the problems that Bitcoin solves as I know that space better than Ethereum.

Bitcoin solves a whole host of problems:

- hard currency with fixed supply that cannot be inflated by any individual no matter how powerful

- fixed emission (debasement) rate that can be calculated for the next 100 years and beyond

- the ability to self-custody a digital store of value (no KYC required) the owner of the private key is the owner, no questions asked

- censorship-resistant payments that know no borders and are not subject to political whims of a particular country

- runs on proof-of-work rather than proof-of-violence such as the US dollar which requires the backing of the most powerful military-industrial complex known to man to protect it’s value. By contrast Bitcoin currently consumes less than half the electricity of YouTube to secure and protect over half a trillion dollars.

- it works 24/7 and never takes a bank holiday

- it is designed from the ground up to withstand direct attacks from nation-states without a standing army ready to go to war to protect it.

- It allows us to achieve Distribute Consensus without a central party (Rules without Rulers)

I could go on but I trust I’ve made my point.
It's too bad Teamspeak stopped existing as the excellence it was in the Teamspeak 2/3 era. By the end of TS3 they had already implemented nagware that would kill TS3 servers every $x months unless you reinstalled $latest. And now with Teamspeak 5 it's just Matrix. And Matrix is a super heavy protocol. You can't just spin up a matrix server on some random low end VPS with 512 MB of ram.

Dependency management is not only due to hot-pluggability, but inherent dependencies between different services. This is the same problem as with package managers and I would not necessarily say it is easy.
the CARS program ran for 1 month in 2009. so it didnt affect 2009 and later model years. it appears to have increased new car sales in 2009 so it should positively affect the used car market in later years as those new cars moved to the used car market.

please explain how the used car market is "slowly recovering" 11 years later.
> This is not someone "looking in the window" this is two parties (you and the company providing some service or product to you) needing to exchange data so each can do their work properly.

The electric company probably needs to know usage for billing. Microsoft does not need any information about Windows users for the product to work. Even things like fetching updates doesn't need to leak information, although I'll grant that it's a little bit more work to avoid leaking any data.

Wow. The same thing I was thinking about. We built a fundamentally flawed system when it comes to ASCII, strings and human languages.

Computer language needs to abstract time and space representation. Solving will improve human - computer interfacing problem. Connect two worlds with commonality, humans writing instructions is not that.

It's not. Read the shell scripts that openbsd uses to init. Simple, straightforward, easy to understand.
> A large portion of the kind of code I've written is impractical or impossible to actually "unit test" e.g. Unity3D components or frontend JS that interacts with a million things.

Opinion: This is actually a symptom of what is (imho) a pervasive problem lodged deep in the collective consciousness of software dev: OOP with fine-grained objects. I blame (early) Java in large part for exacerbating this mentality. Encapsulation of state with mutator methods in particular. It sprays state all over the application, encourages mutation in place over immutability, coupling, validating-not-parsing, and makes it nigh-well impossible to write good tests.

It's really hard to write objects that enforce all invariants under every mutation. And when you have state strewn everywhere, it's impossible to test every nook and cranny. The combinatorial space explodes.

Objects are helpful for encapsulating state when they are course-grained, mutations are atomic, coupling occurs in one place, state changes are auditable, and the entire state can be replayed/set at once, to enable mock tests and subsystem integration tests. AKA, things like databases, reactors, and persistent data structures.
> Cost is high because there is no mass production.

Aside from reactor, everything else is shared with all other thermal powerplants. And think, "other thermal powerplants" also cost a ton to build, run, maintain, and decomission.

Reactors themselves are the most expensive single part in the nuclear powerplant, but they are far from being the deciding factor.

You cannot do much about the cost of reactors, with mass production, or without:

- Without mass production, you have to forge one giant pressure vessel to extremely high standard

- With mass production, you have to forge few dozen giant pressure vessels to extremely high standard

The capital cost of the reactor is considerable, but take just any reactor technology, it will not make much difference to the fact of reactors being giant, expensive pressure vessels.

Union's RBMK reactor design (one which blew up in Czernobil) tried to work around that by turning the pressure vessel into a huge pipe network, without much success:

- Such piping network still needed to be fabricated to an extremely high standard

- Such piping network still was gigantic

- Such piping network still had to use super expensive superalloys

- This giant pipe network was requiring even more inspection, and maintenance than one big boiler

- This giant pipe network obviously leaked way more than one big boiler

- Fixing the above leaks was taking enormous amounts of time, money, and manpower, and opportunity cost in lost generation hours

What choice am I taking away from them?
What should we do then, just accept fate and give up?
Yep. I've tried Android apps on ChromeOS and iOS apps on macOS. They're so out of place and clunky...the average computing user just won't like them. The developer angle is the only one that makes sense.
Green sawn wood is usually stacked, and the stack's own weight will hold the boards relatively straight as they dry.

Build something, and the whole structure can bend and curl.
Pizza is a dish with limited lifetime. It wouldn't be practible to link it to a location. And is there anything specific about the different styles that linkes them to the location?

With ingredients you have the specific local conditions, namely the plants, animals, soil, weather, which all influence the outcome. Additionally there is also the local knowledge, traditions and laws which influence the endresult.

And finally we also have the reason where there are patents, copyrights and trademarks in the first place. People invest time and money to bring a product to fame, and it's kinda unfair and sometimes even harmful if you allow anyone to just highjack the success and sell your own inferiour product under their fame.

> There are similar 'feta-style' cheese found in many other places:

Indeed, but similar is not the same.

A negative example in that regard would be wasabi. The original japanese wasabi is hardly available outside of japan. Yet most people believe that the fake-wasabi is the real thing and that they experience the authentic taste of japanese dishes (mostly sushi).
Small anecdote: I needed a software suite for work and the cost was around $2800. I took a bank loan as I thought I could pay ~$300 a month until it is paid off and I didn't want to spent this much at once. I bought it. Few months later the company decided to embrace subscription model and you no longer find perpetual license on their site. That wouldn't be the end of the world, until my licenses started acted funny few months later (showing I don't have a license for some parts of the suite I paid for). The support said that they no longer support the version of software I have and they can only advice me to buy a subscription. They said they'll give me few months free for inconvenience.

I was shocked!
The mobile phone industry was also deeply entrenched back in 2007, it still got disrupted wildly within a few years with the iPhone.

If Crypto is so revolutionary, it should have resulted in radical changes within the entrenched financial industry. All we've seen is regression (Stripe supported bitcoins from 2014[0]-2018[1] for eg).

The bias narrative vs. the development narrative
Scientifically sure, but nobody's going to say "brown the onions" if they mean to caramelize. Also you should never caramelize if it just says to brown.

Browning is about color and deepening flavor, caramelizing is specifically about sweetening on top of that, hence the name.

It seems like the spectacular boom in home renovation will have to lead to an eventual bust at some point - people generally don't want to do a major renovation that often.

That said, it seems like the huge spike in building materials did a very good thing by making many people postpone renovations until prices come down, which should help smooth out the peak-to-trough chart of building construction.
WhyNotWin11 is a better replacement for Windows 11's PC Health Check

Right. And microG is a perfect replacement that works flawlessly.

You see where this is going. Google has moved _so much_ functionality into play services that Android as a platform is losing features every day if you don't have it.

At least HP sold some where it seemed to intentionally disable setup mode for consumer grade hardware[1]. Arm based Surface devices where locked down to WindowsRT using secure boot[2]. The WindowsRT case was basically the foundation of the outrage, not only did Microsoft claim to not abuse its position as only entity able to sign code that would run on nearly all secure boot enabled devices, it immediately released a secure boot enabled product that locked out Linux.

The point is that stats isn't useful for demonstrating the existence of bias since we know already the bias exists given the deliberate introduction of bias. We know the population function is biased and sample data from that function isn't going to change that.

The stats in the post is mostly a commentary on the phenomenon of statistical power. It may also be a commentary on how the angle of the bend is non-linearly related to coin flip bias. I did find that bit to be unexpected. Although given the wide sampling distribution due to the low N, this could easily be variance.
The choice of where to spend their money - if they choose to spend it with Adidas, despite you and me thinking the product is terrible, and a far cheaper copy is better - that's their choice. By preventing them from knowing where the money is going, you are harming the consumer.

This is different to copyright or patents where the consumer is prevented from buying the alternative.

5 or 10 - no difference, each are a lie. It takes 45 minutes.

Here's one that claims 1 or two minutes! https://www.thespruceeats.com/recipe-quick-browned-onions-91...

Yes people get this wrong all the time. One good approach is to dry-fry onions for the first half covered, to get the water out. Then remove the lid and add oil (careful! there's water in the pan) and fry for the 2nd half of the time. Onions with water driven out will brown faster.
No. I think it depends on the situation and people involved. If you intend by working 32 hours instead of 40 hours to deliver only 80% value to your org, you would be at a disadvantage. If that extra 8 hours off has value to you, you will likely make sure your employer stays happy and maximize your value for that 32 hours you work. Conversely, if that 8 hours of payroll savings is needed for them, they will likely provide some grace during evaluation.

Now if you are an exempt salaried employee, all bets are off. Whether you work 20 hours or 80, you get paid the same and are expected to deliver 100% value.
