I'm not sure it's purely a matter of Soviet support at the time, since you had home grown revolutions break out all over Germany and Hungary with various degrees of success. I think in the end there's just no real Marxist/Communist tradition or movement in Ireland to latch onto the moment with.

What do off-chain transactions like Lightning have to do with the transaction costs of the blockchain itself? We can trade bitcoin over HN comments, that doesn't mean that the bitcoin blockchain is involved in our trade.

The whole discussion is about the Bitcoin blockchain itself. Altcoins, lightning, payment apps etc are all entirely irrelevant to this point.

The bitcoin blockchain as it exists today has a pretty well fixed energy cost per transaction. All sorts of things could change this - changes in the protocol to allow bigger blocks, changes in the hashrate that most miners are willing to invest, changes in mining hardware efficiency etc.

But what you are claiming is like saying that it's meaningless to talk about the gas/mile of a diesel Ford Mustang, since you could always change the engine (block size), or change from gas to another fuel (better ASICs), or choose to ship the car by ferry somewhere(use Lightning instead)!

> You can compute "a practical energy/block" specifically for bitcoin but it does not translate to a meaningful energy/transaction value because the quantity of energy used is not directly caused by transactions.

Why does it matter that "it's not caused by " the number of transactions? As long as the block size is fixed, the number of transactions that can be processed by the existing bitcoin network is directly linked to the energy expenditure of the existing bitcoin network. Other hypothetical versions of the bitcoin network could achieve other energy/transaction thresholds. But the one we have today is extremely wasteful.

> Nothing is stopping it. Run your own lightning node and you can do more transactions than what you are erroneously claiming

"Why can't my car do 600km/h, it can only do 200km/h?" "Nothing is stopping it. Board a maglev train and you can do far more than 200 km/h."
'signed' and 'unsigned' on their own--act as short-hand for 'signed int' and 'unsigned int' in C and C++.

Note that the size of an 'int' is dependant on the "data model"[1]. As for whether it's the most optimal is far too context dependant.

A data model that defaults 'int's to 32 bits on today's (and yesterday's) architectures is fine in many cases as the range of that type is acceptable for most usages without excessive wastage.

Certain data models do specify that 'int' is 64 bits which can break some programmer's assumptions, and also lead to space wastage as a struct member or a stack slot has to have 64 bits allocated for it on paper.

Data models are part of the ABI your program uses, so it's not necessarily optimal for any given system.

[1] Wikipedia has a table summarizing some of the differences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing#64-bit_data_m...
I don't. I've hit the peak of promotion that I think I want in my career at a FAANG. I work from home and in practice I work 30ish hours a week. I do put a decent amount of effort into making sure the time that I do work is highly productive. Depression and chronic illness practically limited my working hours so I learned how to "work with" what I have. If you let go of the ladder-climbing and the impostor syndrome, you don't have to work like you ego depends on it.
Bought a monitor because aqi near me averages 50-100 during summer, pre-fire season.

Found my tvoc is constantly in .70-1.0 mg/m3 unless I open all windows and run fans. Then it drops to around .6 mg/m3. I now don’t worry at all about pm2.5 levels and just keep my windows open if the temps below 100. Buying the monitor showed me that my migraines and other issues (brain fog) were caused by the high voc. Opening windows even if it means breathing wildfire smoke makes the headaches disappear.

Anyone out there on the fence about buying a monitor, just do it. There are worse issues than pm2.5 and smoke, both of which you can detect with your nose.
Note he says "a minimum of ten years (or 10,000 hours)" That is it might be 20K, 30K or more hours of practice. So 10k hours is more like the starting line, not the finish line that Gladwell proclaims.

The idea is to separate people from each other for long enough for the virus to die off. Could be done in many ways. Accommodating people in small separate groups for a month under the sun has it's practicality issues but if someone can pull it off the results would be exactly the same.
I agree, most people aren’t saying that (my wording was “too much”). I also suspect that the majority of people on all sides are not arguing whether or not to save lives at “all cost” —- this seems to be a partisan distortion of the actual debate that is occurring among serious people (much like the similarly egregious “granny killer” reference elsewhere in these comments).

There are real arguments and a real, valid debate here on the limits of a government’s influence upon its citizens, while also fulfilling its tacit obligation to maintain a reasonably stable society in a chaotic world, and in a form where its citizens are free to assemble other organizations with their own forms of governance and capacity to encourage actions among their own members. But the debate seems to be projected onto a shape increasing in magnitude, but decreasing in dimension, flatting nuanced arguments into more extreme, tangential versions of themselves. People end up speaking different languages, where all words contain other tacit assumptions which are unstated but differ greatly depending on the speaker/listener.

It’s hard to find a good discussion nowadays.
One might actually think that it is positive that bar for these sort of dreams have been lowered and it has become more realistic. Kids wanted to be movie stars, tv celebrities, rock stars or in reality tv. I might consider influencers to be more healthy than any of those...
> This is reinforced by some pro-vaccine people (incorrectly) claiming we can eradicate the virus through high vaccination rate

A high vaccination rate of high efficacy vaccine(s) can most certainly eradicate a disease. A virus can't do a whole lot without a host to incubate and spread it. If potential hosts can't meaningfully incubate or spread the virus, it stops spreading.

Once the good vaccines (80+% efficacy) became available, if they could have magically been distributed to everyone, COVID would be entirely contained by now and on the way to being eradicated in the population at large. Only the most remote reservoirs would contain the virus at transmissible levels.

That is not saying some 70% vaccination rate will eradicate the virus. It will bring the infection rates down to below pandemic and epidemic levels. If someone is unvaccinated for medical reasons but everyone around them is vaccinated the virus has a pretty huge moat to cross to infect them. Even when the vaccinated get a breakthrough infection the odds of it being serious are very low as is its transmissibility.

Could you give me an example of an investment contract that is not tradable? You have me straining at the imagination here.

Even if you are right that tradability is not a requirement of a security, and even if you are right that this meets all of the requirements of a security, I still don't see how the SEC has jurisdiction here. The Securities Exchange Act explicitly exempts bank notes with duration of less than 9 months from SEC regulation. Interest bearing bank accounts have the unique feature that they have no required investment term: you can deposit for a century, or you could deposit for a millisecond...the interest is paid for the duration of the deposit, and the duration is entirely determined by the depositor, and is not a term in the contract. The SEC admits that even short term CD's (undoubtedly an investment contract that passes the Howey Test for a security) do not meet its legal bar for jurisdiction, so why they would try to apply it to a unrestricted withdrawable account (regardless of the underlying asset class) is absurd to me.

Anything that I find says the speed of increase has been decreasing almost steadily since 2008, and 2019 had a decrease in total emissions compared to 2018 (and whatever series I find, it never goes beyond 2019).
Those herd immunity level estimates were based on R0 estimates for earlier variants. The Delta variant is so contagious that there will be no significant herd immunity effect to protect unvaccinated people. Almost all of us will eventually be exposed no matter what we do, but fortunately the vaccines are very effective at preventing deaths.

Re reading the parent, I'd also like to make sure it's clear in my original comment, I'm talking about his hypothetical where there was limited to no effectiveness in preventing infection or transmission. What's the social cost when the vaccine has no effects at all. The social cost of the vaccine is 0.
What's wrong with my analogy?

The point of vaccines is to help protect society at large, not so much you specifically. Failing to take reasonable steps that help keep your friends and neighbors safe is simply reprehensible.

It still boggles my mind that Sting was the 2nd choice for Jareth. I don’t think it would be the classic it became without Bowie.
Once, I was trying to decided between moving to North Carolina or Southern California for work (there is a song in that somewhere). Both sides had pros and cons, and I couldn't decide.... So I flipped a coin. It came up Carolina, so I flipped it agin and moved to California. It was amazing how having 'decided' I could then evaluate the other oppertunity.

(And I think the Carolina business suffered greatly during the 07 recession, but I bought a house in Cali before the market fell... so either way was a path with struggle.)
I was told this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
Sorry bud, you can avoid events that require vaccine passports. You can move to deeply conservative states that share your views.

Tell me again how it's different.
The box fan and high-merv filter hack is a good idea, but proper ventilation of filtered outdoor air is the best solution. Not always practical, but historically buildings breath via air infiltration due to pressure differentials, stack effects, wind, etc - might as well bring in the air on your own terms rather than it leak through your walls and insulation.
That's why an ERV [1] is important in a modern house with good air tightness.

For DIY, there was a pretty good discussion on suitable sensors in the AirGradient post from three months ago that Jeff linked to:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27125060

tl;dr: seems like you want an NDIR sensor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondispersive_infrared_sensor).

Some options, with digikey @1 prices:

Senseair S8 (Sweden): $48

Sensirion SCD30 (Switzerland): $63

Amphenol Telaire T6713 (US): $96

If I were to buy an expensive black box iot solution, I'd at least verify that it had an NDIR sensor.
> There's no evidence of any risk of mRNA vaccines at all.

You need to add "short run" since these vaccines have not been tested long term. Not to say it is likely at all since other mRNA vaccines have not had long run issues, but to say there is "no evidence" is cheap when long run studies have not been conducted.
I agree that 10k hours is often severely underestimated. Maybe if we all collectively phrased it as "2 hours a day for 14 years" the pedagogy surrounding the above might take a different tone.

> (Also, we can't really prove that AES, or any other current algorithm, is cryptographically secure. Tomorrow, a new cryptanalysis technique could be revealed which breaks it.)

Yeah, "Cryptographically secure" just means "according to currently published literature, no one has yet found a correlation between bits that leads to a faster than a 2^128 attack on the key"

Tomorrow, it might be broken. But AES has been around for a while, so its unlikely to break tomorrow. IIRC, the furthest anyone has gotten is like breaking 4-rounds of AES (out of 8).
Both have theater aspects and let me propose something: that's good.

When you approach airport security (theater) you wonder what their capabilities are _today_. Are they sniffing the air at large with their GCMS? Is there going to be a dog today? Its intimidating to think of it as a theoretical attacker because of its large and multifaceted apparatus, which is part of its deterrent power.

Masks are somewhat similar, they have a vanishingly small chance of actually intercepting a virus particle/droplet that was going to infect you on a case by case basis BUT they make people approach you differently. They say "stand back".
You said it's impossible, I showed it's possible, and then now you say as-is it's not going to pass regulation in certain countries. Okay.

Yep!

You could take this a step further; once you have determined that a set of chunks have been modified significantly, you could apply that set of changes to the same coordinates of any map generated from that seed, meaning you can combine changes from multiple worlds into one (with the same seed).

I mostly concur, though I suspect the Russian psy-ops have been grooming the US populace for this since the early 2000s at least, making people more open and susceptible to conspiracies. Amplifying emotional responses, biases, investment [1], tribalism, in-group out-group, etc. Now they’re reaping the fruit of that long game.

One thing they understand that I’m not sure US leadership does is that the fringe eventually becomes the center, and shaping the fringe has been a key to their long term strategy. Now in some respects it’s becoming the center.

I’m not sure the Chinese are involved though, b/c the CCP has never been very good at propaganda, simply because in China they don’t have to be. From their idiotic “wolf warrior” diplomacy to just about everything written in CCP mouthpieces like the Global Times, there’s a complete lack of subtlety, sophistication, and therefore believability.

It’s all produced from the point of view that the populace is required to think this, instead of having to convince the populace to believe this by anticipating and addressing the reasons they may not believe it.

But who knows, maybe they have some secret elite team somewhere that does understand how to do propaganda and psy-ops in the West.

The ESP32 is getting replaced with a better microcontroller (it's down to either an upcoming STM32 ultra-low power or the upcoming Ambiq Apollo4 depending on how well they perform in real life), but ESP32 was what we started with given familiarity and availability.

Remember, the device can sometimes have enough time to sleep BETWEEN keystrokes while typing. (The microcontroller can sleep then wake and power up peripherals with only a tiny, imperceptible delay.) This isn't your typical Linux setup. FreeRTOS is plenty. For the limited things it does, it wants to be a no-compromise device. There is no on button. There is no off button. You grab the device, it has an image on the display because it's e-ink and you start typing. Assuming you've previously connected to a remote device the system will have done what's necessary to keep that connection alive (invisibly waking as needed). Your keystrokes can go through right away to the remote connection. Your results will hit the screen right away too. The device is always on and it is always off, if that makes sense. There's more to it--bits of stuff and bother and implementation details--but I hope this gives you the idea.

This is a strawman argument. Two of the most covid vaccine hesitant groups are healthcare workers and PhD's. I'm not sure those folks are the ones with cognitive dissonance here.

To be clear: I'm not arguing that the people hesitant about the covid vaccine are right. But I see no actual data that would indicate that a significant portion of these people are anti vaccine in general.
Risk management and considering possible risks and their likelihoods is generally always viewed as scaremongering by those who don't agree that the risks are worth considering. My intent is to make clear the potential risks, so that people are making a more informed choice than just "my phone might run out of battery early" (which is the most obvious risk, and the least interesting one). I can't make this decision on behalf of others, but I can absolutely highlight potential outcomes they may have failed to consider, even if I expect most of them will then reject those outcomes.

I also think if you offered people a button that extended battery life by 50%, they'd accept a third less performance from their phones in a heartbeat. Certainly I know I use low power mode all the time, even with a full battery, just because performance is the least interesting criteria for my mobile phone usage (as it has no effect whatsoever on my communication apps). That's why I'm so careful to lay out the risks as I view them of opting in to performance over reliability. Yes, they might be slim-to-none risks, but they're avoidable risks, and there's a large set of people who prioritize lowest-risk over highest-performance.
> No, they cratered the middle class while making the rich richer.

Isn’t this economic policy, not lockdown policy? Any government could decide to pay laborers 100% of their salary to stay out of work. They could decide “essential workers” would be paid on top of their salary as compensation for the risk and danger. They could deice that corporate profit during a shutdown would go to support laborers. Lockdowns only hurt the middle class and help the rich because the government chooses to force the middle class to stay home while not forcing the rich to stop profiteering off it.
This was exactly my experience in Singapore. I loved every min of my 10 mins in the airport.
Web3 is hardly stupid (it's actually very clever). The name if off-putting more than anything. When I think of Web 3.0, I think of augmented reality, every physical thing having its own QR code which you can look up easily with a smartphone. And if the thing is too small, it could have a chip in it that communicates with NFC and you could learn more about your environment.

We're still sort of there, but the dream of QR & NFC codes for everything hasn't been fleshed out yet. Web 3.0 could also be simply an assortment of apps? I think we need more app stores, not the two monopolies we have currently (Play and Apple Store).

The dream of having everything happen in the browser could die if it wanted. No more trying to makes sites have an 'appy' feel which has been the main agenda for well over the last decade and a half now.

This doesn't answer your question - but in all seriousness you can smell it. Even the smallest amount of ozone has a very distinct smell you will recognize. If you stand in front of your air sanitizer and let the air pass over your face, you should be able to smell the ozone immediately.

If you haven't smelled it before - I would recommend going to a retail store that sells ozone-based air sanitizers. That should give you a whiff of the stuff for reference. You can also find it in [some] hospitals for air sanitization. I imagine once you smell it, you will realize you have smelled it before and maybe not realized it was ozone that you were smelling.
