> Well sure, but those motivations exist regardless of any financial rewards

The amount of the financial reward measures how much you are winning. The juices produced when you win 20$ and those produced when your leveraged long in biotech stocks make you 750k are not the same.

> They usually involve a lot of people working very hard to no end.

This is just a pessimistic outlook. Most stuff fails but the few thing that stick produce a big improvement.

And it's not just billionaires who face this problem. Government has an even worse success rate, but the home runs are paradigm shifts. The failures burn a lot, think about the CERN failure, that's 20B right there.

The ITER fusion seems to be the same thing and that's 50B

The ISS never recovered the initial investment made, that's 100B.

It's not just billionaires projects wasting money
I used to be a big fun of Firefox, but biggest turn of the event was when they disabled about:config on Firefox for Android -- for justification provided was in line of because people make bad choices with it, etc., and only alternative that was offered was to use beta.

Mostly I wanted this feature was to enable TRR on it -- but since they don't expose GUI for it, that's not feasible. This and the fact they made it off limit because some people do stupid thing made Firefox a lot less attractive for me.

It's sad if they haven't disabled about:config, I would still be using Firefox today...
The patent went through as it was described in the context of device - where a device is a core element of the application.

Terrifying that went through.
Allowing BTC to function as currency bypasses the fiat conversion at the ATM; so your statement emboldens the argument for El Salvador making it a legal tender.
Perhaps you need a new streaming device. My 3-year old AppleTV4 it's near-instantaneous. Both Netflix and Disney+ are great, even Prime is good.
Bitcoin is created out of thin air. Where do you think bitcoins come from?
Agent Smith was destroyed in Matrix 3. It was a reasonably major part of the plot.
I'm probably wrong here, but it seems to me that storage is practically cheap enough (not quite) that Netflix could simply send out a drive with their whole library and then a membership gives you access codes.

Send out a new drive per year.

Do they really only have 4,000 movies in the US?
Fast for 72-100 hours. Eat normally for 1 day then fast again. Works better with WFH (you want to be near a toilet after breaking a fast). But you can also just time it so your fast ends on Sunday and do it once a week. You do have to be a bit careful about not binge eating after a fast. I don't count the calories on my eating days but I am also conscious about not stuffing my face all day.

Magnesium from random supplement I got at target, potassium from no-salt salt alternative.
I recently realized that in an action movie the hero almost doesn't matter. The villain makes or breaks the movie. Luke Skywalker, John McClane, Neo: they're irrelevant next to Darth Vader, Hans Gruber, and Agent Smith.

Hugo Weaving was on fire as Agent Smith in The Matrix. One of the best performances I've ever seen. The interrogation room at the beginning, and the desperation with Morpheus at the end, are just pure perfection. This movie is going to suck unless they can figure out a new villain half as good as Agent Smith in Matrix 1.
This is bullshit, not only is it too abstract of an idea, they aren't even the ones that invented nor perfected it. They have no right.
What you said does not contradict the parent comment. Just because Bitcoin is now a thing in El Salvador it doesn't mean that that missing 70% will now starting using it.
> Funny how no one ever says this about caffeine intake. Surely you also think people who drink coffee every day are relying on a crutch and are drug addicts that need therapy

Lots of people say this. I'll even say it right now. If you need caffeine to function, you should probably talk to a doctor.

Drinking coffee every day does not mean it's a crutch. If it becomes a crutch, you should talk to a mental health professional.

There's no need to get upset because someone recommends you talk to a doctor.
No, I wanted to say that we should apply some threshold of evidence before making accusations like this, and we shouldn't apply them onto large groups of people.
The transactions within an open channel are only stored by the two owners of the channel. The entire network does not need to store, nor does it even get to see these transactions. They can even be private. When the channel is closed none of the channel transactions need to be committed to the blockchain, only the final balances of the channel between the two participants.

A lightning channel does require an onchain bitcoin transaction both to be opened and closed, but while open it supports unlimited transactions within the channel while it is open without increasing the onchain storage burden on the network validation nodes further beyond the two transactions to open and close the channel.
I hope Apple breaks another sells record.

Actually, that world was also a simulation. The machines realized that some people wouldn’t accept the program that their primitive brains kept trying to wake up from. So they made an imperfect world but some people still wanted to wake up. Thus, they made a “real world” where people thought they had woken up, but where a blind neo was able to still able to sense the machines.

What if you’re never really sure you exited the simulation? LOL

When you’re dreaming, you often think you’re awake. But when you’re awake, you KNOW it. How?
> Using renewable energy still takes that opportunity away from other users […]

This would be true only if electrical capacity were completely inelastic. It is not. Electrical capacity is relatively slow to respond to changes in demand, sure, but it does respond.

Consider the scale of the increase in electrical capacity that will be needed to fully move the US alone to EVs. That change will not have a hard cost cap, either - people are willing to pay quite a bit to operate their automobiles, and the current cost to operate an EV is substantially less than the cost of operating a similar ICE vehicle. Bitcoin mining does have a hard cost cap: ([Bitcoin price] * 6.25 + [Bitcoin price] * [~10 minutes of transaction fees]). In about 2024, that 6.25 will drop to 3.125.

Ultimately Bitcoin mining is driven by economic forces, and those same forces are the same that control the scale of power generation worldwide.

You can see Bitcoin’s energy use as being used only to secure the network; I see it as securing the network and driving incentives for the development and expansion of electrical infrastructure.
Pretty sure different companies competing in similar sectors aren't above stoking FUD about their competitors, no matter who they are or what industry they are in.

Did they make that cut? Was it a cut, or was the reduction in volume part of their plan. Typically they want devices in channel globally at launch, which implies a huge ramp up at the beginning. After that they only need to keep up with constant sales volume.

Tim Cook has repeatedly warned people that these kinds of supply chain rumors do not indicate what people assume they do.
Using renewables to do something that doesn't need to be done is not a win.

Just looking at the Aug 1976 edition, they have a touch sensitive door alarm, an electronic timing game, beginners short wave receiver, and 2 watt amplifier. There's a "teach-in" that gives a nice overview of reactance, impedance; and much more besides.

Seems like a good way for young and old alike to get fired up about electronics.

All free.
haha not so much, feeling sorry for someone that can afford a Ferrari and then complains about the car insurance would be ridiculous. Similar to feeling sorry for white guys having to deal with politics, its warranted, not serious, and does not deserve more attention that many other REAL issues. But anyways, have a good day.
They could still call him for some "pre recorded message we just found" or w/e.

I also find it quite rude since morpheus is arguably the most (after neo, of course) representative character of the franchise.
for a second there, I thought you were writing about the US election.
I agree to the extent that the Architect in Matrix 2 [?] had some interesting things to say, and his explanation about why the machine needed humans almost redeemed the idiotic rationale of the first movie (electrical generators???). But, that and few other interesting ideas aside, I found them tedious and not well constructed.
Curious if this coincides with all the cyno bacteria / red algae increases this year, killing off other species. Lawn care fertilizer run off and leaks from mining seem to be the main cause. Scary because no politician wants to suggest that people and companies should stop fertilizing their lawns.

Is this an interesting or actionable insight? Or just arguing semantics for the sake of it?
Patenting Entity-Component-System sounds like a hot take.

I didn't look close enough to see if what they're patenting is something specifically unique to Unity3d's implementation. It would have to be?

From the abstract it sounds like the equivalent of trying to patent Observer/Observable.

Maybe there is a history of patenting software architecture that I'm not aware of, I'm not an expert in patenting in software development.

Protonmail was forced by Swiss courts, period. Protonmail will not risk themselves for you. No client of Protonmail is worth fighting the Swiss courts over. Protonmail bowed down to the laws of the country they operate in, a smart move if they wish to continue legal operations.

If you still do not understand this fact, or that I am speaking strictly about the repercussions that a Swiss company could face by ignoring a court order from Swiss courts in Swiss law in Switzerland, then we have nothing else to discuss.
Except those channels probably have the means to run it legally and with the right caveats, legalese, tax documentation, etc.

Sweepstakes and giveaways aren't banned, they just have some overhead and legal requirements around them.

Good. Hopefully this will cause more people to leave Intuit and search out alternatives. This is just one more reason to add to the list.
I personally do count them as "non-white" when reviewing applications. Our DE&I group only reports "white vs non-white" and "males vs females" ratios, so I assume they are considered "asians" and lumped into "non-white".
This happens in Indian elections all the time. And I'm rather surprised to find someone holding the Indian judicial system in such high regard.

You say this, but you point at evidence saying the opposite.
The most plausible view is that the reduction in manufacturing wasn’t a ‘cut’, but was planned. Initial ramp up has to be very aggressive to make sure all channels have inventory. After that they can ramp down to match expected sales volume.

> Running various callbacks or whatever is still overthinking the problem, similar to throwing exceptions. There's still a preconceived notion that anybody would want to (or could) handle a certain state right then and there.

Sometimes you want to and can, other times you don't. Sometimes you want to log some state that will be destroyed when you unwind the stack. Not being allowed to handle an exception before unwinding the stack is a hindrance.

The common case is that you will unwind the stack; lisp even has a form that does so (handler-case vs handler-bind) because it is so common.

"Where" an exception is handled is two dimensional. There is "where in the source" and "when at runtime" Most exception systems unnecessarily couple the two. If you make an API call that you know will cause a network request somewhere downstack, and at that point in the code instruct it to retry up to 3 times when a connection-refused exception occurs, then you have a usable exception system.

If you can't do that, then just give up and return errors.

The way that they've changed search to only link to checkmarked channels is infuriating. When Kabul was falling I wanted to see older videos of the embassy, from when it was opened, to see the buildings and how extravagant they were. I couldn't find any, though, because no matter what I searched I got videos from news channels released within the past 24 hours about evacuating the embassy. The war on "misinformation" needs to stop.

I suspect the meat of the patent will be very specific about the types of optimizations they do in Unity DOTS, rather than the concept of an ECS. There's plenty of public prior art about ECS, but the concrete set of choices they made to implement and optimize theirs is a concrete thing. (ftr I don't think it should be patentable either way)
Did you switch to vaping concentrates or dry herb?

I recently switched to a dry herb vape because concentrates were concerning me for other reasons.
ECS has been around since like 2007 and there's plenty of public prior art on this, but suuuuuuuuuure Epic Games yep you guys totally invented the concept and deserve a monopoly on use of the technology. This might directly affect several projects I have if they choose to use this patent offensively. This further cements my disgust with IP law, honestly I'd rather we just have information anarchy when it comes to abstract computer stuff at this point.
Very true.

They are NO MORE a tech company than WeWork ever was or is.

Simply using "IT" to do a non-technical job does not make you a "tech company"!
I started an account, but felt it wasn't very compelling to actually get started using it. I've synchronized my email and calendar, but it isn't jumping out at me how this will be superior to my current workflow (I use Things and Calendar on MacOS/iOS, and they integrate very dumbly but well enough).

At the risk of sounding dumb, what is this supposed to offer that my workflow doesn't have? I see it can support contacts and files as well, but I'm not sure if/why I'd need that. I have all of that on MacOS/iOS already, so when I add contacts or references to files it'll come from iCloud or whatever. That's fine for me. Is this for people with more disparate and less integrated systems? Am I missing out on something?

The main appeal to me is having task lists working more like documents; Things doesn't support this and it's fairly inflexible in that regard. I do wish I could plan projects and take notes a little more freely in there. But I'd also worry that having this freedom might be a distraction, too.
> Netflix isn't a tech company anymore

They're still solving some interesting problems like how to watch the same content, in sync, with your friends. Interestingly my gf and I noticed that when we watched NFLX together using a video call to see eachother's faces/commentary our video would skew by noticeable amounts across the span of a movie. (eg even a 0.5% speed difference would give a 3 second skew in 10 minutes, which is enough for one to see someone's reaction to a surprising part of the video differ from your own.

So there are still technical fringes to solve that can value differentiate from late adopters like the channel specific providers like say the ABC app https://abc.com/apps
Financials aside (which I agree are a factor), this is a very short-sighted view. Therapy is not about finding a diagnosis, it is about finding perspective. Sure, for insurance billing purposes you need to be diagnosed but I'd bet most people seeking therapy are just given GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and it plays very little baring in how your therapy is executed.

If what you seek is a healthier emotional and psychological outlook, substituting cannabis for therapy is self-sabotage. There are other ways to gain the "release valve" that don't involve smoking weed.
The CM4 network chip has hardware timestamp support, it'd be great if you could ensure that this is available through the interface.

Considering only “Bitcoin-like” proof of work blockchains, starting an independent chain subjects you to security risks. If the computing resources of the entire country of El Salvador were devoted to mining their Bitcoin fork 24/7365, it would still likely be possible for a richer country to temporarily allocate more computing resources and “undoing” transactions, effectively destroying the validity of the transaction history.
That's a pretty different claim from the one I replied to, but yes I agree additional consumption of fossil fuels is an important factor.

The claim that consumption of renewable energy is equivalent to consumption of fossil fuels, because that renewable energy would have otherwise offset fossil fuel consumption I don't agree with though.

I haven't read the patent but Unity's long march to ECS included figuring out mapping their previous GameObject + Behavior paradigm to the ECS paradigm. At a glance, part of this appears to be trying to patent that. This isn't a Unity specific problem though, many gaming studios have existing code on the old paradigm and are looking for good ways to migrate or bridge to ECS.

Patenting such technology runs counter to the reality that this track of game engine innovation in particular has been one particularly notable for the open sharing of techniques and technology, in the interest of everyone benefitting from a better approach in core architecture that improves performance and reduces incidental complexity. At some point, it became a cultural norm that people were not going to hold their cards close to their chest on this core part of the game loop. There are a lot of areas where I'd be inclined to accept the idea of IP protections for game engine companies on an ethical basis: this isn't one of them.
