You knew this already. Also, Craig's defending the claim using statements about Forth-likeness, which is the same thing he insists Bitcoin script is because magic-of-a-second-stack. Additionally, he re-iterated the exact claim that Bitcoin script itself is Turing complete with the assistance of Ian Grigg. Ian references often a paper asserting it is so, which I and two or three others completely refuted as nonsense, since the paper itself actually references another blockchain entirely which itself has looping constructs, but then Ian, Craig et al make the absurd claim that because it this other blockchain's script is "Bitcoin-like" then Bitcoin itself is therefore also Turing complete.

But then he also wrote a paper asserting that Bitcoin script is Turing complete:

In other words, it's layers of bullshit all the way down.

By the way, just for fun, Craig Wright also made the absurd assertion that the second stack can be used to create constructs that can't be implemented with a single stack, so he's stupid in that sense, too, as I demonstrated with a single sequence of single-stack opcodes which accomplishes the exact same thing he stupidly asserted couldn't be done.

I'm working on a hypothesis that there is something I call the "AM radio effect," which, roughly speaking, is "As communication technologies progress in comfort and convenience, the older generation will become dominated by hucksters who try to take advantage of those who cannot or will not switch." It's my explanation for

- what happened to AM radio as FM, satellite, and podcasting came to dominate the American driving experience

- what happened to landline telephone as point-to-point communication became dominated by cellphones, smartphones, and increasingly non-phone-voice-network audio and videoconferencing technologies

I wouldn't be surprised if blogs suffer the same problem in the era of microblogging and centralized microblogging services.

You are clearly seeing the failures, and not the successes.

Imagine for just a moment what YouTube would look like if Google were actually not even trying. Nearly two years ago, 500 hours of video were being uploaded to YouTube every minute. YouTube is the higest-value video site in the world. A staggering amount of what is uploaded must be spam, fraud, and otherwise unwanted material, and yet most of us never see any of it.

I, for one, spend no time watching videos about crypto, so even though my watch history is super-nerdy, I don't see the kind of fraud and spam described here.
Coffee is mostly water and we already have far more efficient ways of delivering water to the home, so yes, it seems incredibly wasteful to me to switch from plumbing to drones.

I would also be happy banning k cups fwiw.
In the places I've worked (always in the U.S.), although there may be a procedure the managers have to go through when firing or laying off someone (which does involve HR), I believe it is often considered part of the manager's job to be the one who personally delivers the bad news.
in 1988, I got the "opportunity" to buy the most expensive computer a local whitebox shop built; which was a 286-20 with 1MB of RAM and room for a 2nd MB on the motherboard. There were 386-16 machines (just) out, but this was the "Xenix workstation". With the fancy EGA monitor and card, and iirc 40MB of disk, that came out to be just about $5,000.
Wow, heartbreaking. I loved Couchsurfing. To me, still one of the best examples of what the internet could be. So to see what it was, and then to see what Capital does to it. Heartbreaking. And they call it the tragedy of the commons.

Since the bezel is really great for holding the device without obscuring the text, I doubt they want to get rid of it.

As the author mentions, Apple's internal work with A/UX and the associated Mac toolbox led to a product known as the Macintosh Application Environment, MAE. I used it on a PA-RISC HPUX workstation in the 90s. Actually worked really well. We were using CAD tools on HPUX workstations but it didn't have much in the way of productivity apps. Running the MAE layer allowed one to fill that gap. It was a surprisingly lightweight layer and performed better than the Mac I had at home.
“Concatenate the key with each server” -> use (key + unique id) as the key, giving a deterministically unique result.

“Use the server id as the hash seed” -> apart from the encryption, seed the result by first hashing the unique id then updating with the actual content before finalizing the hash, depending on the hash algorithm in question akin to keyed_hash(unique_id, actual_payload)
Yo, SpaceX/Starlink employees. Hook me _up_ please
Napster, KaZaA and most of the initial wave of p2p sharing had centralized servers which were required for coordination. That's why it got shut down. The record companies sued the companies behind them and won, forcing them to shutdown their networks.

The second wave of Gnutella and all of the various BitTorrent clients was decentralized. No single entity controlled the network so there was no single point of failure. Record companies and movie studios came after individual nodes, but were never ever to shut down the network.

However, no one ever invented a great way to do search and discovery on top of BitTorrent, so we've always had centralized servers for that piece.
> "yet another project pulling on open source resources"

Erm, yeah. Isn't that the point of making something open source with a permissive license? So that other people are able to use it in their own projects?
Unix licenses at the time were ridiculously expensive, even for PC-grade hardware. Adding compilers and development tools was frequently an extra eye-watering expense.
I think one thing is who is the president. Another is the massive bureaucracy that sits below them and does all this detailed policy formulation. It is the latter, and their ability to plan in a both realistic and strategic manner, that really makes the difference.
Wish Russia was the only country with this. Many politicians all over the world do similar stuff and the only way I think would "change" things might be the public being more educated about who these politicians really are and have a new paradigm about the view of a "country" and politics.
I'm not making a recondite point here. I think maybe you're thinking I'm saying something more complex than I am. My point is that companies exist because they provide goods and services which people want to buy.

I am not talking personal insults either. It is insulting their work and profession. Producing paper is their work. Producing paper and delivering a project that makes an impact is rare and should be appreciated.

I wish Amtrak's cars were more like those in India, where seats transform into beds. It's low tech but so much better.

On Amtrak, sleeping in coach sucks, and roomettes are way too expensive.

But in India, what's basically a coach ticket gets you this wonderful bed.

If you haven't seen one of these: During the day, everybody sits on padded benches that have these back rests. Then at night, some kind of consensus ripples through the train car, at which point you get up, swing your backrest up 90 degrees -- there's a hinge at the top -- and hang the outside edge (which had been the bottom) from the ceiling with sturdy straps. The hardware -- roughly a loop and a hook, though a little more secure than that -- is solid metal that makes a satisfying "chunk" noise, so it feels safe. Now, voila, one bench with two seats becomes a bunk-bed with two beds. There are also little curtains that are attached somehow; I forget if you have to hang them or if they're already there.

Anyway, it's simple but great.

I'm telling you, Amtrak, the bench/bed things are genius. I sleep like a baby.

I wouldn't mind low speed rail so much if I knew I could sleep comfortably at night.

> if you eat more than you burn, you will gain weight

The converse isn't necessarily true: if you eat less than you burn, you might not lose weight but instead your body adjusts how much you burn.

Calories are amount of energy... released as heat when the food is burned. Or rather, the numbers you see on food products is some value derived from food composition. Anyhow, this is no way directly related to how much of resources your particular body will extract from food.

Counting calories has a benefit of making you aware of your habits, but dietology is not as simple as arithmetic.
> Similarly Hugh Hefner has lived a more fulfilling life than Charlie Munger.

How could you possibly know that?
I'm having a really hard time following the thought process here.

For one, I already said I agree that children's privacy shouldn't be invaded - that's not the point. The point is that Organization A is providing their owned device to Person A, and they have a right to monitor its use.

Secondly, you first talked about a lease and now you seem to be talking about cars in general? But also companies which issue $150,000 sports cars? (Which company provides $150,000 sports cars, by the way? So I can apply.)

For what it's worth, every corporate fleet vehicle I've had the pleasure of using has been strictly monitored by the company who owns it - just like they monitor the other hardware that they own and lend me.

And if you're not talking about corporate owned vehicles - we're back to square one. Leases are different contracts with different expectations than loaned devices.
Good list. My biggest gripe is still that I cannot queue things on a mobile device. It seems like such a big omission.
Still using a Alfa AWUS036ACH for a wireless connection: 802.11ac wave1 from 2015.

There's simply nothing better available, in 6 years of intervening time.

This world would be so so much more awesome if there were some really really good USB wifi adapters. This is yet another further leap, but I also think of all the guides to turning the RPi into an access point, via usb adapters: it starts out working fairly well, but the hardware either has hard maximum client limits or just fails to work well once you get to half a dozen devices. Even if you have something like PCIe or M.2 expandability, options are still extremely limited, & availability is incredibly poor.
We need to be very skeptical of arguments that say “only X%” without explaining what they think the number should be and why. Is there any value of X where this article would not have been written?
> You can do version pinning with flakes: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes

1. How?

You'd think such a simple thing, especially in the context of "ditch version managers" would be easy and warrant at least an example.

So far I've had:

- ignoring the question or avoiding the answer

- one answer "just use overlays" with no example

- one answer "just use flakes" with no example

2. It's a separate, unstable feature

It amazes me that after 18 years, you still need (probably? no idea) to use some entirely separate feature that is still unstable/experimental and uses an entirely different system of describing what's needed than nix proper.

And still no answer how to do the thing that is literally required for every single reproducible build: pin a tool to a specific version.

Meanwhile tools that we're supposed to ditch are as simple as

rvm install 2.1.1
rvm use 2.1.1

Air superiority doesn't mean that ground-based air defenses are all eliminated, or even that the enemy's air force is completely defeated. Nor is there any guarantee that air superiority will be gained quickly. In WW2, the allies didn't achieve air superiority until early 1944, and while by D-Day they outnumbered the Luftwaffe 10:1, they still lost 10% of their aircraft between June 6th and June 30th. The Luftwaffe was still shooting allied planes down as late as May 8, 1945.

In a modern conflict, CAS aircraft like the A10 would be vulnerable to MANPADs, AA guns, and SAMs which could all be hidden for extended periods of time in bunkers and caves, and would continue to be produced by peer adversaries for pretty much the entirety of the war. Even late in the war, manned CAS would require fighter escort, which effectively limits their dwell time and availability to that of the fighters. By the time the CAS can really do their thing, the war is essentially already won.

Tell me about it. My 1Gbps docsis3 has an upload of 35Mpbs because of 1980s cable tv frequency choice reasons. I’m slightly impressed with StarLink and slightly annoyed at my main ISP.

This is on the edge of nowhere, but still cool. The only other option I had here was dialup or if I wanted to pay outrageous rates, I could get a .5-1Mbps T1 only because there is a ranger station not too far off that put one in and I can access some of the trunk hardware a few miles away.
Interesting. I've wondered about this sort of pivot before. Coming from Oklahoma where O&G reigns supreme it seemed natural to galvanize that same workforce for this type of clean energy, and with the explosion of horizontal drilling and fracking over the past couple of decades I often wondered why no one had targeted geothermal in earnest yet. Glad to see it's being worked on and gaining steam.

There are plenty of people who work in O&G that wouldn't mind one bit if their skillset was driving a green technology. They're most protective of their "way of life" and if they can see themselves as creating and leading a new industry their fed egos could benefit everyone rather than just their midstream uncles making millions and their roughneck cousins making slightly-less-than-millions.
Leaf blowers are also banned because they emit an outrageous amount of pollution. These electric drones at least don't have that problem.

Its amazing how people can see these things happening in countries like Russia but then confidently declare that no such manipulation occurred here.
Are you surprised by the entitlement of parents? I used to be, but no longer.
I don't think this is any surprise really. Russia is still a big, powerful country, and the West has changed it's attitude so that it's less concerned about things that don't directly challenge its interests.

I mean, China gets away with much worse I think (Uyghurs, South China Ses belligerence, Hong Kong, etc.), and they get little substantive pushback for the same reason as Russia.
It is for my family. It may not be for yours. When they reach the age where they have their own cellphones / social media media then it's different. Freshly popped popcorn from the microwave + salt + butter and introducing kiddos to "the dish" movie after _they have been to the actual dish_ is A+ and highly recommend.
Well, congrats with the launch!

As for "too early" - well, yes. Sounds good in theory, except there's absolutely no detail from both a developer or a founder's perspective.

That is, can't provide feedback when there's nothing apart from the landing page to evaluate :/

Some preliminary API docs maybe? Those should spark a discussion pretty well imho

Heretics of Dune.

I mostly enjoyed the previous Dune books. Particularly the first three. But God Emperor of Dune was kind of meh (lots of waxing philosophical with Leto...). It was hard to get into Heretics of Dune with none of the original characters to latch onto.
Yeah, I work on some public-facing sites that have analytics and programmatic ads and the like. Our list of script and frame allows would be pretty long. And since the analytics team own and operate out tag manager, they can inject third-party scripts at will without needing a release which makes maintaining CSP a whole job on its own.
Better analogy: Science tries to understand the game and where it comes from. Religion claims that some guy talked to the game developer, and therefore we all have to obey everything he says.
This is a pretty impressive setup. Recently I lived in an RV for a year and my setup was much more janky than this...

Basically consisted of a gl.inet router that I plugged in a old Moto X4. This allowed me to get wifi from whichever campsite we stayed at (always garbage) and then I would pay for 100GB from Cricket and T-Mobile. I would swap sims when I would run out of data about half way through the month.

Then I discovered I could get unlimited data on Cricket with a regular phone plan if I changed the TTL on the router. Ended up being the most stable option for the last few months.
+1 for the Privacy Redirect plugin. Makes using Invidious (and some other platforms) a breeze.
The problem with social media sites is their algorithms are focused on profitability. If you follow a local restaurant and then move to another city they will push ads and show content tied to your geolocation (which makes sense—not saying that’s bad per se). But they dictate what you should see and when.

With blogs it used to be about the RSS feed, which had one job: to nudge users when new content is available. But ultimately users (or news aggregators) had control over what the algorithm does.

The problem with blogs as pointed out is content discovery. How can content be discoverable without commercial interests? Social media platforms make content discovery simple and effective. On top of that, the barrier to entry is low—a two or three step on boarding process which is free (as in beer) to-boot.

Anyone know of good content-discovery platforms?

Podcasts are interesting because multiple platforms support them so they exist somewhat in the borderland. Might be an interesting case study being podcast discover ability vs blogs vs social media.

All that being said, I think we simply have to go beyond the first page of search engine results to find the good stuff. Not finding stuff is a form of laziness when we are used to getting a quick info-fix on Wikipedia. But standardized P2P protocols might be nice too—good incentive for a crypto currency?

This is a weird stretch, I think. By this definition, all paid services are villainous. Maybe by your metric that's true, but then don't pretend this company is any more special than a taxi company or a baker in their evil.

Any citizen of Texas can partake in this process themselves. Their cost is time. If the value of your time is greater than the cost of the service, great! Use the service! If not, take an afternoon and do it yourself. Thus is the nature of services.

In fact, these companies only serve to punish governments for poor taxation practices, as they get more people to dispute their taxes than normally would have. Hurray!
