The Mỹ Lai massacre (/ˌmiːˈlaɪ/; Vietnamese: Thảm sát Mỹ Lai [tʰâːm ʂǎːt mǐˀ lāːj]) was the mass murder of unarmed South Vietnamese civilians by U.S. troops in Sơn Tịnh District, South Vietnam, on March 16, 1968 during the Vietnam War. Between 347 and 504 unarmed people were killed by U.S. Army soldiers from Company C, 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment and Company B, 4th Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade, 23rd (Americal) Infantry Division. Victims included men, women, children, and infants. Some of the women were gang-raped and their bodies mutilated, as were children as young as 12. Twenty-six soldiers were charged with criminal offenses, but only Lieutenant William Calley Jr., a platoon leader in C Company, was convicted. Found guilty of killing 22 villagers, he was originally given a life sentence, but served only three-and-a-half years under house arrest.
Read a classic: "Ogilvie on Advertising" (1985).

The only metric that matters is: did your sales go up? Ogilvie understood that. The ads that other PR and advertising people admire aren't necessarily the ones that work.
It's also a matter of perceived consequences. To put it bluntly, most people simply don't have the energy, at the end of the day, to chase "feel good", distant, ethereal causes. Yeah meat consuption leads to pollution, but that's such a stretch of the imagination, and I'm hungry, so please let me see what I need to do to pay this month's rent and taxes instead.

There's an oil spill in the ocean? Man, that sounds bad. But what can you do, it's in the ocean, someone will take care of it eventually.

I know it's a defeatist way of thinking but you can't build a running society (meaning with, literally, people running all the time) and expect to conserve energy for non-primary, non-immediate, non-localized causes.

To put it even more bluntly: I would be very happy to change my whole way of life if I didn't have to run after money. But I have to, and I'm exhausted, and that's the problem.
Agreed on both points.

I've been an advisor for a number of companies in my career from pre-seed to late stage. The notion of not over-engineering giving up control is spot on.

If you even need an advisor (and you may not) then stick with the FAST template and don't overthink it. At the earliest stage an advisor can help you think critically about your product and introduce you to a lot of good connections, but you should reserve equity only for those who bring the most value.

I think that was a big part of the Google Vs Oracle case - how much copying constitutes an infringement?

It looks like they made a fairly complex rubric to apply in the future, it appears it would be on a case by case basis.
PS: There's still a nuance that might require clarification(or am I adding confusion?) in your original quote though:

Quote: "(of course, free software licenses would still fulfil the important function of contractually requiring the publication of modified source code)"

Even though as many others have pointed out, OSS licenses can be contracts, I'm actually not sure this sentence is correct.

When somebody uses the source code in compliance with the license terms, a contract might be formed to allow both parties to enjoy rights. However, if one party never complied with those terms and breaches them (eg. distributing source without retaining copyright notices), then arguably no contract was ever formed, and the act is a simple matter of copyright violation and not a "breach of contract".

Hope I'm not splitting hairs.

I say this in every thread with these sorts of issues: Not your keys, not your crypto. Keep this stuff locally and keep encrypted, non-local backups of your wallets or your wallet seed. That's the best way and insulates you against all these regulatory shenanigans.
Hopefully one day there will be a crypto environment rich enough, where states can't hinder the freedom of crypto by putting barriers up between the worlds of crypto and fiat.
For now there are other exchanges you can send money to, to buy crypto. I would then still withdraw it to local storage immediately.
All of the changes they made indicate that they plan to put ads inside the app. The age restriction clause would typically be added so they would not be obligated to adhere to COPPA restrictions.

I have had a similar experience with the band Ministry. High energy, drowns out any background chatter, gets me into a flow state, somehow. I think it is partially because they are not a band I really listen to for pleasure so I don’t know any of the songs particularly well, and there is a high amount of distortion in the vocals so I don’t even feel the need to try and understand. Seems counterintuitive but it works for me.
Maybe so, but anyone should definitely use more criteria than my few word generalization to choose their deployment infrastructure. :)

We (mostly) chose k8s over other solutions because of other tools/providers in the ecosystem that made business sense for us. But we did need something to abstract our deployment complexity.

I’m mostly suggesting that I suspect many of the people with bad k8s experience didn’t really need it.

I’ve seen a number of people wrap a simple application in a container, slap it in a deployment/service/ingress and call it a day, it works, but using k8s that way doesn’t really add much value.

k8s, by default, is oblivious to NUMA topology. You have to enable unreleased features and configure them correctly, which is the unwanted complexity to which I referred earlier. Simply aligning your containers to NUMA domains does not solve the problem that your arriving network frames or your NVMe completion queues can still be on the wrong domain. Isn't it simpler to just have 1 socket and not need to care? The number of cores available on a single socket system is pretty high these days, and in general the 1S parts are cheaper and faster.

Our Image of an Entrepreneur Desperately Needs an Update
When I applied to do my DPhil at Oxford, Tony Hoare was the Professor of Computing and interviewed me. The hardest question he asked me was... "Where else did you apply to do research?" and I replied "Nowhere".

I never found out if that was a good response or not.
Exactly. The current techniques to Sybil resistance directly leads to plutocracy because of economies of scale.

I think the solution is fees based on transaction expediency. If I want a transaction to go through for the minimum possible fee I could schedule it for a year in advance. In one years time, the money would be available. If I wanted it sooner, say instantly, that transaction would cost say, 1x. So if it was a $100 transaction, the fee would be $100. Maybe 1 day is 0.1x, 1 week is 0.01x and 1 month is .001x.

If you want the best odds of double spending and choose to pick instantly, the fee is equivalent to the transaction, so you don't actually end up gaining anything.

Smart merchants will start essentially doing futures. I am going to need corn in one year, I setup the deal today, when it goes onto the chain I transact my corn.

Better still, we can use these fees to add to the supply. The only reason that a transaction would go through with a fee is if the profit of the transaction from both sides was above 0, so we can directly track a portion of the surplus of our currency.

We can calculate how much security we need based on the available currency at a certain time, and mostly the miners only earn enough of the fees such that we can ensure that we won't be harmed by a malicious attacker who does not care that they aren't getting anything. So the difficulty is based not on mining power, but on exploitability.

So what do we do with the rest of the fees including the new coins generated through those fees? We give them to people who have actively locked up coins as we want to encourage people locking up their coins, as the more they have locked up, the less risk there is that a double spend can occur. So that means if you know that you will not transact your coins for one year, you will transact with yourself and lock in, and essentially you get yourself a CD.

This is all super preliminary, and I am looking for problems with this setup, but it seems to work.

Part of my day job is optics design. There are some tradeoffs. One of them is that the structures of IC's are approaching a couple orders of magnitude smaller than the wavelengths of visible light. To illustrate this point, we have to use something other than visible light to make chips. Getting light through smaller structures becomes quite lossy. A way to make up for the size penalty might be to exploit increases in speed, but the structures for making high speed optics (such as femtosecond lasers) remain bulky.

I'm certainly not trying to nay-say it, and continued research is worthwhile. The history has been that when a new thing is announced that will beat silicon, by the time that thing comes to fruition, silicon has caught up through just grinding incremental improvement.

Optics can solve some interconnection issues, since it isn't confined to 2-dimensional (or "2-1/2" dimensional) structures.

Changing science paradigm with the scientific communities
1. It helps get the point across just _how crazy_ this is. Sarcasm isn't only a tool to personally attack people - it's also a tool to verbally emphasize objectively valid arguments.

2. That's the beauty of it! We arrive at the same result, but just skip the part where people need to buy tons of custom silicon that can't do anything other than burn energy for mining, and then burn energy. That part has a lot of not-so-nice side effects on the real world out there, from silicon shortage to environmental pollution.

3. It is entirely correct. Even if some mining in some places is done with renewable energy (which is far from the majority - otherwise: please provide proof for your statement regarding just "how much" mining is renewable-based), that renewable energy is removed from the market and thus can't be used to power other consumers, which then must use fossil-fuel based energy sources. It's not like there's not enough demand for energy in the world, especially of the renewable kind.

I agree. In the West this history is too obscure.
You are talking about basically research stuff, EV are literally produce in the millions right now. Billions of private funds flow into battery tech and EV technology, while Hydrogen is basically massively government funded. Next generation EV and battery tech is getting closer and closer to beating hydrogen even in the few things it has an advantage.

And most of the costly infrastructure already exists. Its called the grid. Adding charge spots is incredibly cheap compared to adding hydrogen stations everywhere, even if gas stations already exist.

We have yet to see these lighter vehicles. Batteries can be made as a structural part of the car and the weight compared the normal structure we have now is actually pretty damn low. I don't see how hydrogen can beat that.

BEV are currently and the distance between the two technologies will grow, not shrink if you look at all the improvements rolling into BEV over the next years.
You're right. I was mistaken -- I thought he was referring to those RMS claims that in general the GPL is not a contract.

In Moglen's article about enforcement, I think he's right that where there's a breach of GPL there is no contract. In fact that's what I said also in my follow up reply.
Proof of capacity, as they call it here, is the same as proof of work for all practical purposes until the network size stabilizes. Plotting space is energy intensive, and a miner must continuously plot to maintain the value of its existing plots as the network grows. If the network size stabilizes or shrinks, then it becomes more efficient than PoW, but in any growth phase it's the same.

NASA Study Goes to Earth's Core for Climate Insights (2011)

https://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/earth20110309.htm...

"The researchers found that the uncorrected temperature data correlated strongly with data on movements of Earth's core and Earth's length of day until about 1930. They then began to diverge substantially: that is, global surface air temperatures continued to increase, but without corresponding changes in Earth's length of day or movements of Earth's core. This divergence corresponds with a well-documented, robust global warming trend that has been widely attributed to increased levels of human-produced greenhouse gases."

> but if you're expecting a broad study correlating the Big 5, ACEs, existential depression, and giftedness, you should 1) look elsewhere, or 2) go get your PhD and do the work.

My expectation is not that he had done a different study. My expectation was, personal essay or not, if they are throwing citations, academic credibility and 5000 words at the world about their central thesis, to eliminate the goddamn confounds first, or at least acknowledge that they haven't.

It is like writing an essay about "hair color and basketball performance" and making a career out of finding out incidentally blondes perform better, not the least because blondes really liked hearing it, while even shoe size would have been a better explanatory variable.

To my mind, "go elsewhere or get a PhD yourself" is a pretty elitist pushback. Rationality is a publicly available resource. We ought to make use of it.

Yes and no. Yes, proof of works prevents double spending or more generally establishes consensus on which transaction become accepted. But no, this could be achieved with many different consensus protocol and does in general not require any irrecoverable loss. Just issue a key pair to each human and make them send signed votes to establish consensus by simple majority.

The true reason something like proof of work is required is because the system is also anonymous and distributed where being anonymous is the more critical aspect. Because of that you can not know who is out there and can cast a vote. Are this votes from a million legitimate users or did one user just send a million votes? The solution to prevent users from casting arbitrary many votes is then to make it hard for them to cast a vote, you make them for example waste a lot of clock cycles for each vote.

But, as I said, not because this is inherently a requirement but because you want to establish consensus among members of an anonymous group of unknown size and them wasting a certain number of clock cycles is a rough proxy for everyone gets one vote assuming that everyone has very roughly access to the same amount of computing power.
