There are not two chains, there is only bitcoin.

Lightning channels are addresses owned by multiple parties where you pass around signed transactions that could be settled on chain at any time, but you choose not to because there is no need to.

When you want to settle everything, instead of submitting all the built up transactions, you can just make a single tx instead settling the final balance.

It would be like if you sent me a $5 check every day of the month, and at the end of the month I agreed to tear them all up if you just wrote me a check for $150 instead. The analogy is still poor cause a check can bounce, but theres no good way to cheat in this system.

Most likely it will simply NOT power on. That or briefly power on and shut off once the ripple spikes and glitches everything.

In another post here I mentioned fixing Optiquest monitors. The usual issue was you would press the power button and the power LED would flah for a second and... nothing. This is because the output cap of the switching supply would cease to filter the high speed square wave that goes through the transformer. So your DC power supply is now an AC square wave supply. Of course logic circuits don't like that so they will outright fail.

Sometimes there is enough capacitance via decoupling caps, ground planes on the PCB and local filter caps on the logic board so the initial power up works but once the load increases the ripple increases until it becomes AC again and everything goes haywire or shuts down.

The problem with fission reactors in general is that after you stop the chain reaction you've still got a tenth or so of the power output you had when it was on from decay heat for a while and you need a reliable way to get rid of that heat even in the event of a disaster. With fusion the nice thing is that the new heat stops appearing as soon as the reaction stops.

This is kind of the crux of a long history of these licensing arguments. That dynamic linking is problematic because it potentially creates a derived work. And then you might distribute that derived work.

But shelling out to something or in some cases having an automated script create or download the derived work automatically is sometimes acceptable.

It’s a bit of a silly line in some ways. But it’s a long story.
Aluminum and steel actually make quite a bit of sense to recycle. The big energy cost is in the processing of ore to metal. Re-melting the metal is relatively low energy.

Japan, or certain cities in Japan, have pretty complex recycling rules, at least relative to California.

You're required to separate glass, PET plastic, other plastic, aluminium, clean paper (books, magazines, newspaper), burnables (food, soiled paper), unburnables, and then also large items and electronics require extra fee and an appointment.

Further, it's arguably part of the culture to clean your trash. This is probably because burnables are collected twice a week, unburnables once a week, recyclables once a week, and, if you live in an small apartment complex, of which here are many, there is no place to put the trash. You're required to store it in your apartment until the day of collection, which means if you don't clean it it will stink up your apartment.

So, people do have time or make time.

But, I 100% agree with you that this stuff should be handled by the trash companies. They could do it much more efficiently. They can do it correctly. Having it done in a few locations is also much easier to monitor, regulate, enforce.
And even if it was, for many such store of value would still be difficult to liquidate compared to the average person. Let's just say that there are plenty of people that need to "clean" non trivial amounts of BTC

> Look at the most recent major economic crisis of 2008. The main reason it was so devastating was due to rolling back regulation from previous crises, along with "innovative" financial products that had no oversight. What do you think would have happened to business lending (ie. jobs) and the stock market (ie. people's pensions) if there had been zero regulation and no ability to inject liquidity into the system?

I totally agree.

I am also, however, 100% skeptical as to the motivations of those pushing to regulate cryptocurrency because of the combination of facts that cryptocurrency is a threat to the encumbent financial institutions and the deregulation that caused the GFC was due to the lobbying of said encumbent financial institutions.

Basically, I think the system is corrupt from top to bottom and so their motivations are protection of status quo as opposed to protection of Joe Street-Level.

The total lack of understanding of how cryptocurrencies work, as evidenced by the infrastructure bill, shows they don't care about understanding it, they care about suppressing it. That's the message they're sending.

Yes, it should be regulated, there are too many scams in the space, and that gives the space a bad reputation but, damn, put some research time in before, how does that phrase go...:

It's relevant in that language constrains what you can think. (At least according to one version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which I don't actually hold myself, but it illustrates the point.)

So if you couldn't communicate with anybody, you might not have language at all. Maybe you wouldn't be a thinking entity, at least not in the sense that you currently understand "thinking".

The article is trying a different approach, one more social and ontological than epistemological. I think, being a cognitive scientist, that the author has the more epistemological approach in mind, but is expressing it in other ways. A full elaboration of this argument would involve unpacking Sapir-Whorf, and doesn't fit into a blog post.

I just thought it was worth arguing. If you're going to pare your epistemology down to "Cogito", we still need to be clear on what cogitation is. There's good reason to think that language and cogitation are linked, and it's not clear that we can separate them as a thinking entity with nobody to talk to.
That’s a shortcoming of the GPL: it doesn’t consider interactions over the network “distribution”. It’s the reason the AGPL exists. IMHO, GPL software that could be expected to run in SaaS form should be AGPL.
Lack of regulation is not an accurate way to describe what goes on in one of the most highly regulated industries. Rather what I think you mean is the lack of a specific regulation that limits the price of various services. In actuality, it's regulatory capture that keeps competition at bay and keeps prices high. We actually need to remove specific malicious regulations in order to solve the problem of competition in the banking and money transfer industry.

Yep, there's a ton of software that wants to use the english text as the translation key, which leads to all sorts of bad results.

Things like Open Ticket used as a verb to create a bug report, or open a bug report, or as an adjective to indicate a bug report is still active. Or similar when ticket means a transportation or entertainment event. If your key is the English text, you can't translate those three usages differently which is not good.

But also, minor edits to the English text are hard to manage for the translations, some systems have a way to suggest an existing translation, but it requires a translator to affirmatively select it. If the key doesn't change, you can still use the existing translations until the translators review the English change and decide if they want to also make a similar change or not.

Of course, the worst thing that people try to do is numbers; there are tools for that, but trying to do Open Ticket vs Open Tickets as singular vs plural falls over with languages that have a form for one, two, three, or more, or even more forms.

And then you get people trying to do string math. Delete this ticket vs Delete this image need to be translated as whole units, you can't add 'delete this' to the type name, gendered verbs and objects and sometimes even more complex stuff makes it not work.

I've actually been giving this some thought as I've been working on a WebSocket server that hosts a WebAssembly module[1]. So far my approach has been to expose a function on the guest that is called when a message is received, and a function on the host that is called when the guest wants to send a message. It's simple, but it works. It would be pretty cool to have a simple interface like that, but with the power of durable objects as well.

Er, why not? The fact that it affects what is legally a non-person entity in whom the State has a legitimate interest is why abortion rights have different parameters later in pregnancy, so why wouldn't it be the consistent that vaccination having public health impacts that affect the life and health of other actual people is relevant?

Wait people batch clean their recyclables? That seems more time intensive since the food is going to dry/harden. It’s much quicker to wash when everything is still wet.
It's already possible to move money between accounts without cryptocurrencies: banks, payments systems (example Paypal), fund transfer services (example Interac). The transactions are reversible in case of a fraud or issues. What you mean is cryptocurrencies offer a way to circumvent the legal ways of moving money around.
I think the relationship between food and recycling is justifiably unclear to most people. Can you recycle cans of refried beans? Prior to today I would have thought yes, but now I see I'm supposed to rinse them. For refried beans I'm already wondering about the water wasted washing the can vs. the benefit of recycling it. I live in a drought region so I'm probably going to chuck it.

> But wrapping the family cabin in protective foil isn’t something that can be easily accomplished as the fire nears. Even if a homeowner has rolls of the wrap on hand, the biggest obstacle is time. Covering a typical cabin in foil takes four to five people six to seven hours and thousands of staples.

I question this estimate. I recently covered about 1/3 of my 1700 ft^2 house in plastic to prepare for painting, using staples. That took two of us under three hours, and each piece had to be cut to size, and the placement was crucial. Neither of us are particularly fast or skillful at it. With a big roll of foil that just needs to overlap, I bet we could do the whole house in just a few hours more.

The estimate is important, because if it can get done that fast, in my high fire risk area it makes sense to have the foil on hand just in case.

> And being responsible for getting pregnant shouldn't be automatically punished with being forced to risk your health and life for benefit of human that is not you.

Why not? Those are the stakes of sex and we all know it going in. I'm a man, but I know that if I accidentally get a woman pregnant one of the consequences will be being forced to monetarily support the resulting child. She knows going in that pregnancy is a potential consequence. Neither of us is "innocent" here, we both took a gamble and lost. The question is, if one believes that a fetus is a person with a right to life, do we not also believe that those who knowingly engaged in its creation have a responsibility towards it?

> Unless pregnancy is a crime there should be no punishment at all. Let alone the corporal punisment.

Having children is not a crime, yet we routinely force people to be responsible for their children. One could say that the crime is being irresponsible, but then one could just as easily say the same about terminating a pregnancy.
It is totally reasonable to expect for-profit corporations to be good stewards of shared resources, such as the public goods that make up the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) commons. I think it is important to all users of FOSS that the software is well maintained, and is able to grow to meet the changing needs of users. We often call achieving a system where sufficient value created by FOSS can be captured in ways that funds its ongoing development and maintenance achieving a "self-sustaining" system. One view on sustainability in FOSS can be found in this Apache Software Foundation blog post [1].

Companies should also be respectful of the communities that produce and maintain software, including understanding the philosophy and governance that communities have adopted. For the Apache Software Foundation, this is being mindful to not unduly influence the project, such as to try to control it through employing a majority of the people who work on the project, or otherwise weaken the independence and autonomy for the community that builds and maintains the software. [2]

I've seen situations in the past where companies employ an open-source marketing strategy that ends up encouraging unhelpful activity in open source communities. This can also happen when companies measure the performance of a software developer based on metrics such as "number of patches accepted in an open source project." This kind of thing is generally unwelcome in open source software communities. See this thread on HN [3] on the Linux kernel development list, TL;DR - "Please don't waste maintainers' time on your KPI grabbing patches."

> Translation and localization costs money

If you have a fan base, you can leverage it to get some amount of translation done. A lot of users are happy to help the product they like get better. Granted, the quality will not be as good as the quality you get with professional translators.

The article also did not talk about the actual the translation process, which in the case of a product that is released but keeps getting updates is not trivial.

There are tools that exists, but I personally decided to build a workflow around git, with a python scripts that generates a status of all the translations: https://github.com/jyaif/ppl-i18n#status

The downside is that contributors need to figure out how to use github to contribute. The upside is that it's free, you get auditability, versioning, and the barrier of entry may actually increase the quality of translations.

A malicious application on macOS doesn’t automatically get access to the user’s sensitive data (contacts, photos, documents, etc). When an application tries to access those things the user normally gets a prompt from the OS to authorize such access. Verified bugs that allow circumvention of this prompt are what Apple is paying for.
In German adjectives and verbs are easily distinguishable without context. The verb "open" would be "öffne" and the adjective "open" would be "geöffnet". So it's unlikely this mistake would happen if you translate from German to Italian.

It's common to talk about "opening" files to view them, so I assume that's why the developer chose that term, even tough "view" would have been better.
