Architectural Mismatch: Why reuse is so hard
More than a year after its smart contract introduction devs have still failed to create a single DEX (let alone something more complex) there despite trying. The one Algo were hyping about having a dex last October (idex i believe) have quietly removed mentions of Algo on their site after failing despite all the PR.

This should tell you how good of a choice Algo is for anything. There's plenty other promising POS chains on which devs are actually successfully managing to build stuff on to be focusing on Algo.

They do both. Usually though, soil organic matter which contains the most SOC ensures food for bacteria and fungi which make healthy soil. Plants, much like humans, require microbiota to survive and stay healthy. You are not just feeding plants, but also the bacteria and fungi that prevent disease and help produce nutrients.

In addition, plain sand and clay is very poor at retaining nutrients and moisture. Organic matter tends to soak up nutrients like a sponge. This is why media based hydroponics uses porous material like volcanic rock and pumice.

As the percentage goes lower the amount of debt will increase. The same thing happened in mortgages. The monthly payment stayed relative constant (plus inflation).
Deaths can be counted with reasonable accuracy (although there are some edge cases where the primary cause of death is unclear). Whereas "long COVID" is just a vague term for a random collection of non-specific symptoms which seem to occur more commonly in recovered patients than in the general population. The science in this area is very preliminary and mostly low quality as studies have relied mainly on subjective patient reports rather than objective test results. For example, one recent widely cited study listed anxiety as a common "long COVID" symptom even though they didn't describe a plausible causative mechanism.

In general any serious viral infection can potentially cause post-viral syndrome. That's not a valid reason for keeping pandemic control restrictions or mandates in place indefinitely. At some point we have to accept the risk and move on.

I don't think it's a stretch or generalization to mention mental health services to people who may be struggling with mental health issues.
If that's it, it's a ridiculous premise. I won some music equipment from Sweetwater by liking and commenting on a video (though not sure they would be able to verify the like).

I expect things like this to continue to grow as we rely more and more on algorithms in all walks of life without thinking through true recourse options.
The Chinese character who makes that offer then immediately threatens to kill the heroes if they don't comply in the same scene (screenwriting note: hilarious that they didn't let that ruse play out for even one more scene).

I was actually kind of surprised to see a such a direct analogy in a big Disney production; I'm going to hazard a bet that it was not at all intentional, but I'm not sure that China's foreign film approval body are going to see it the same way. If it gets released at all in China it's almost certainly going to bomb for that and other reasons.
First focus on Netflix started out as emailing dvds. So it was a supply chain company. Then it started going into recommendations. So it was data mining. Now it is streaming. So it is streaming company. Like Real (remember them?) was a streaming company.

Large companies with established proven processes can migrate towards the tech ladder. But small companies cannot become a tech company aka shark tank funded red dress.

I don't think that's the case at all.
So, you're correct, but the previous poster did that thing we so often do where we go too far to make a correct point.

In this case, the correct point is that the waste of energy is to ensure the security of the blockchain (as you correctly pointed out), and not to process transactions. The marginal cost of processing another transaction is completely negligible compared to the cost of securing the blockchain, and so naive comparisons saying that a single transaction uses as much energy as XXX where XXX is the total energy cost divided by the number of transactions is misguided. You could send a million more transactions and the energy cost wouldn't budge.

Of course, the overreach is in the part where they said a single laptop could run all of Bitcoin. Marginal transactions are cheap, but not that cheap, and a single laptop couldn't secure shit. (Again, all as you correctly pointed out. I just wanted to clarify where everyone was coming from for readers who aren't familiar with how Bitcoin works.)
I remember this post from gregdoesit [1] as a good example of how much complexity is hidden under seemingly trivial interfaces. It's about Uber's supposedly bloated app, I believe that anyone who has worked at a scale where they had to support different national legal systems in their code would know that maintaining a large-scale product is nothing trivial.

The statement you are putting forwards assumes many things - that value is decided by solely by monetary values as decided by "the market", that a market that can calculate values perfectly is possible, that social rewards have no value, that socialism is incompatible with rewarding people materially for material product, etc..., which most people would say are false.
I understand how it works thanks, i'm looking for an explanation as to why this waste of energy is a good way to run a currency
Of course I can't rule out that you actually had a cardiovascular problem, but of the people who get really high and think they have a medical problem, it's usually an anxiety attack.
I'm not misunderstanding.

The word link literally means a connection or relationship.

There is neither of those two things in this data, except that their 1.3% of "abusive" smokers had heart attacks versus 0.5% of non-smokers.

You cannot draw a link from that alone, but they are stating there is a link.

You can state there is a link between diet and heart disease, because there's a proven causal relationship. Not so in this case.

Also, the variable was independent because they study stated that they only included "abusive" smokers, implying they excluded casual or occasional smokers.

They split the data on that variable. That's a selection process.
Excellent epistemic inquiry. I’ve owned homes for over 30 years, and have experience with hiring contractors for remodels. Also hired non-union contractors to do building work on offices over the years. And the company that had a machine shop? One of our channels was home construction and overall I was not impressed with the kind of work I encountered.

But to really get to your question: I started my 3-year home construction odyssey with a non-union contractor who had to be fired due to poor execution. The replacement was a union shop. That’s about as much A/B testing as one can get.
I don't follow your argument well. If a country trains more people to get into distance running, it could definitely skew their average even if their etnicity has bad running genetics.

But "doesn't say anything about the individual people" point is that, if you take any one person, no matter what their parents' genetics and environment say (barring extreme examples), they have a chance to become a great distance runner. A very slim chance, but a chance. Similarly, there are people born from poor families who show a suprising amount of intelligence.

You could use Rust editions to allow evolving the standard library, perhaps - they changed the prelude (slightly) in Rust 2021. That might come with its own problems - on the other hand, you can't actually tell the major version of any given library from code (unlike with Go), so changing the definition of a standard library package upon an edition change.
I'm one of these men. Of course I chose nor to go at a time when the ratio was closer to 1:1. It's one of the best decisions I ever made, I stumbled into it and didn't even make a deliberate decision, I felt bad about it for a few years. A happy accident I guess.

And I've done well for myself. I hear college graduates earn more over their lifetimes but anecdotally I don't see it. Financially I'm doing better than almost every person I know that went, the vast majority of my peers who went have a negative net worth due to student debt and own no property, so the bar is low, but I'm doing fantastic. I think the truth is, when credentials aren't rare, how well you do is more based on your mind and some quality you have than on credentials.
Yes, this confirms what I said?
Because they have both Dollar and Bitcoin as legal tender, the result is unclear. In theory, because USD is still cheaper (if Bitcoin is supplied constrained as it is promised), people will trade with USD and hoard Bitcoin. However, when crossing borders, USD is more cumbersome to move around, that may deter people to import products with "cheap" USD.

It would be very interesting to observe, whether they will eventually move to Bitcoin only (if the bull market keeps going) based on Economics history (because domestic market will hoard Bitcoin, causing outflow of USD). And if that happens, would be interesting to observe the other factors (wage and services) deflate as the theory predicts.
You have the first part right, but to insinuate that lightning is not using the bitcoin blockchain is entirely wrong. In the case of lightning, the bitcoin blockchain is only used in a dispute over funds. This is how you properly scale a decentralized blockchain.
Top ideas of Instagram AR filters

The "tech company" monicker is increasingly nondescript, but any kind of classification needs context to be useful. These big guys, at present, aren't doing obvious head-2-head competition in well defined market categories. Ford, GM and Toyota are similar to each other that Amazon & Google are not.

To think in classifications, you pick your classification based on the aspect of company you care about.

Netflix's culturalness, financing, hiring/labour practices are more like "tech companies." Their competition, is home entertainment for consumers, and media companies for content. Their business model is basically cable. etc.

In any case, it seems the author goes through all these semantics to notice tha:

"you can access the same service on any device (Netflix, Spotify, Kindle), or the same content on any service (music, books), or both. Content doesn’t stop you switching - unless it’s exclusive, and that’s a totally different budget."

So yep, key point. Media economics is understudied.
I think you are spreading misinformation. Your whole comment is absolutely wrong.

That's certainly a respectable opinion, yes, but some believe that these progressive policies are only possible temporarily or in countries that use various legal and kinetic means to maintain an advantage over other countries, etc..., so it's not a settled question that social democracy is the end of history.

Fixing crippling poverty a big part of fixing murder. The president thinks that this is their path to leap-frogging into the lead w/ a digital economy and giving people opportunities not linked to drugs and crime.

Is it how I do it? Probably not exactly. But it's disingenuous to say that economic and financial changes are not a piece of fixing social problems like persistent crime.

Maybe this is a hot take, but it seems like browsers have essentially become what the operating system should have been, and it's the reason that everyone crams things into web apps / Electron instead of building native applications.

Browsers have a set of APIs that are decided on by a standards committee, and you have to implement those standards if you want your browser to be compliant. As an application developer, all I need to do is check a page to see how widely a standard has been adopted and then use it - I can be sure that my code can ship to (nearly) every device and behave uniformly, with minimal tweaking.

If the operating system had gone that route, we wouldn't have had to build more layers on top of it to abstract away the differences.
I read jrm4’s comment a little differently… It’s not that one’s skincolor correlates to opinion, but that it necessarily informs it. It’s pretty evident that people of similar skin tone and experiences may differ in opinion (just look at any family). Because of this, my takeaway wasn’t that it was the only thing that informed one’s opinion, but skin, as one of our society’s integral method for categorizing people, is intractable from the opinion forming process, particularly around matters concerning race.
See almost any franchised business. Dunkin Donuts, 7 Elevens, mid to lower end motels/hotels, gas stations, etc.

It also happens in other businesses (everyone wants to pay for the least amount of redundancy), but it is especially pernicious in service businesses that are on demand 24/7 operations and the staff simply being physically available is the value they provide (as opposed to businesses that can close or the work can be delayed by a day or two).

For example, in a 24/7 operation, if one of the cashiers/front desk clerks/etc quits, then the manager has to fill in. Owner says manager cannot pay more than $x, and it could take weeks to find someone willing to take the job for $x. Or the people that are willing to take the job for $x are going to bounce in a short time or be unreliable, but the owner can afford to keep this wage at the low $x because they have a manager getting the $35k to $50k who is willing to work 80 hours a week.

Edit: You should have seen the stink that most of the small business owners I know threw when Obama's administration increased the minimum wage for overtime exempt workers:

Yeah, well, no big wonder: Many database systems were created long before the Web.
That's not how either Bitcoin or electricity pricing works.

Bitcoin is secure only under the assumption that a 51% attack is computationally difficult, i.e., that it is not cheaper to acquire more mining capacity than the non-malicious miners collectively have (whether by creating a conspiracy of existing miners, or by becoming new miners) than to actually pay whatever transaction you're trying to get away with not paying.

This means two things (which are, in a sense, the same thing in two different directions).

First, Bitcoin needs to have a nontrivial fraction of the world's computational power in order to be secure. If mining happens on a laptop, well, I personally own at least two laptops, so I can easily double-spend coins, making the currency worthless. It doesn't have to be 51% of the world's total computational power, but it has to be enough that nobody can easily and cheaply put together enough additional power to mine false chains at a rate that keeps up with the non-malicious miners.

Second, if it were ever the case that secure mining was happening on a single laptop, that would mean that this one laptop represents a huge portion of humanity's computing power, meaning that, first of all, the fair market value of being able to use this laptop would be incredibly high (both because it needs to be high enough that a double-spend attack isn't profitable, and because of simple supply and demand), and second, there would be a separate moral question of why we're using this laptop to mine Bitcoin instead of, say, powering any of the scientific research (like vaccine development) that now has to happen on TI-83s.

It is technically true that Bitcoin could "work" with mining only happening on a laptop (and probably did "work" in this sense when Satoshi was developing it on his personal laptop), but that's like saying that, say, MD5 is a "secure" hash provided the attacker only has pen and paper. True, but that's not what anyone means by "secure."
I think awful is how the banks of the developed world are earning money with the poorest. The fees for remitance make up for a large portion of the el salvadors GDP. The developed world is responsible for climate change, so I guess the poorest have their right to use their money how they want and not in the way some banks or you consider it.

The impact of the lightning network on energy consumption is even neglible...
True, but the talent isn't as obvious. Similarly, you could have two very slow runners give birth to a fast runner, and most of their speed would ultimately come down to getting the right recessive genes.

Almost every trait, even willpower itself, is influenced by genetics. But for most traits it's very difficult if not impossible to reliably determine what genes influence what. Most things aren't determined by one gene, they're influenced by many genes, as well as randomness and your environment.
If you’re worried about it denominate it in USD? I don’t see why the problem is here.
True. They never had any good growth strategy anyway. Also there is no good plan to keep the ledger size sane. Like I mentioned, their consensus algo is innovative the execution beyond that is lacking because there wasn't any organic growth happening.
The answer is broadly to get enough people on board so that you can implement radically democratic policies, and then those that oppose them have to infringe on the rights of others violently to get their way, at which point democratic force is justified.
