id go so far as to say this is more a one-time 1.9 billion dollar bailout for the telecom industry.

the bitter truth is nobody in the USA made it to market as fast as Huawei with 5G for a number of reasons. AT&T and others rested on their laurels, content with a monopoly market where they defined what 4g speeds were and werent. They became convinced they could extend this monopoly assertion to the rest of the world either through sheer hubris or through blind ignorance. Once the global market called their bluff, they scrambled for protectionism from the US government in the form of unsubstantiated sinophobic rhetoric, and stoked an elderly congress still rife with bubbling anticommunist sentiment. Trump gave them their trade war and it wasnt until Canadian bourgeoise faced chinese prisons that they were forced to acquiesce. Huawei's CFO signed off on largely symbolic US charges, and resumed her life.

Now the only damage control can come from US taxpayers, forced to pay twice for inferior 5G.
I would prefer that a solution that didn't include reparations for prior harms wasn't even on the table. I would prefer that both parties felt extreme shame for their participation in the destruction of American communities. That any party would be embarrassed to see Americans still imprisoned for participating in an economy that they then later pivoted to opening to everyone.
Pepsi is noticeably sweeter, I prefer coke as it's got a bit more of a 'dry' taste to it.
Why? There are over 1,500 capitol police officers. That's more than enough. Militarizing the capitol the way they did was total overkill; security theatre that they used to get a bigger budget.

This might be a very naive question, but would it not be the case that many contracts would be essentially similar in nature? So while weird loopholes would exist at first, over time there could be a large library of tried-and-true contracts which could be applied to the situation at hand?

I realize this is a bit of a political point, but at least in the US, we should factor in the cost of military spending related to oil producing regions as well. I don’t know the truth, but it’s not uncommon for one to believe that the majority of policies since 9/11 were to protect oil interests and terrorism was a convenient scapegoat.

I'm not saying you should or shouldn't, but your use case doesn't bar you from using streams.
That may be. I’d expect these tactics to evolve, but like most people I’ll only know for sure if it blows up in a big scandal.

The image uploading fails most of the time for me.
For me, routine and discipline.

Walk at lunch every day.
Monday, Thursday and running days.
Tuesday, Friday are push-ups;
Wednesday and Saturday are weights.

I have a paper day-calendar that I mark when I work out; helps in case I miss a day and need to reschedule or get back on track. Seeing the history also gives me a warm and fuzzy "filling XP bars" feeling.

I use sheets of graph paper clipped to clipboards for the push-up and weight workouts so I can track the weight / number of reps I did. When I worked out at the gym I used to use the "Notes" app in iOS for this.

I tried a number of workout tracking apps but was never satisfied with them; too hard to see history or record an unscheduled change.

I disagree. How is Tiktok different from Vine or YTMND aside from different video formats, editing tools and a catalogue of songs? I understand they were able to monetize it unlike the other two but they seem very much the same.

I would say the biggest and most important chunks of both came from Nortel. Vast majority of what we consider as 4G and 5G was developed at Nortel and during the collapse was scooped up by Ericson/Nokia and Huawei (though the latter mostly just hired ex-Nortel researchers and engineers).

> Not to mention the enormous amount of additional infrastructure, from substations to stable grids. Oh, and nuclear reactors are crap at load following so unless you have substantial baseload (e.g. heavy industry), you'd need somewhere to dump excess electricity.

That's not true. Modern nuclear power plants can move at 5% of full load per minute up and down. France is doing load following country wide with its nuclear reactors.

In fact the French must be laughing at this energy debacle with their 75% share of nuclear energy.
You mean you use Miniflux for that? which I do as well.
Oof. I hope medialab didn’t spend much on this dog.
You're not wrong.

Perhaps the most charitable interpretation given they specify the South Island is they're assuming that we would displace the energy use of the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter. Given that's about 13% of our total energy use, is powered by hydro dams without the grid capacity to transport to population centres, and run by Rio Tinto who keep threatening to throw their toys and go home...

(Of course, the other option would be to build the bloody grid capacity to get energy to where we need it, but that's a different story I guess.)
You're getting downvoted because it's a longtime well-known problem of the blockchain. The answer to your question is that nobody can reverse the transaction or undo it. That's kind of the point, for better or or for $23m worse.
I sometimes consider the notion that, socially,
Western modernity was just reified feudalism:
everybody's a lord now!

I figure historians of the future will view it like this: there were people in Europe who practiced feudalism domestically for several centuries. Eventually they developed the technology to outsource serfdom to the rest of the world.

For most of my life, people in the 'third world' lived in barely imaginable poverty while the rest of the world walked off with oil, lumber, precious metals, gems, historical artifacts, slave labor, etc. I was well out of highschool before I appreciated the connection between the squalor elsewhere, and the four or five previous centuries of pillaging that contributed to it.

That unpleasant state of affairs tempers my ability to feel triumphalist about 'first-world' nations ridding themselves of feudalism.
Go with the flow. When you're in-flow, block interruptions. When you're ex-flow, handle the other stuff so you're prepared for the next peak. If you're ineffective, uninspired, tired, demotivated or otherwise inoperable go do something else or sleep.
I emailed one of them 12 years and 4 months ago to ask how they paid for everything. This was back in 2009 when the internet was still small enough that companies would respond to random emails. They responded to say they had funding covered. They shut down a few years later.

> provoking the Japanese before Pearl Harbor to get an excuse to join the war

Not sure really any significant group of historians push this. Japan invading China is basically universally condemned, they signed the Tripartite pact with Nazi Germany, and you think it's the US' fault they decided to stop airplanes and oil to that regime?

You're pointing out an obvious major flaw with blockchain that is a consequence of what many in the crypto community believe to be an advantage, namely that your assets cannot be seized without your private key.

Your post is basically this, but less humorous so people are upset.

So to answer your question, how you revert this transaction is to buy $5 wrench and go have a conversation with the miner.
So I think an underlying assumption you have that I want to scrutinize is that misbehaving students are costlier from a monetary perspective, or that they require more money spent to handle them, or that spending more money will result in better outcomes for these students. This assumption may or may not be true, but I think it is valuable to question it and expect some evidence to support it. For instance, it is quite possible that stricter and more rigorous discipline in schools could benefit misbehaving students far more than any spending increase in the school system. Likewise, there may be certain cultural norms or expectations in charter schools that have far more impact on misbehaving students than spending increases.

I think the far more important point, however is that some charter schools are working phenomenally well for the underprivileged and doing so with less funding, and that there are valuable lessons to be learned from that fact, which lessons are at risk of being ignored or lost. However, instead of either trying to learn from these charter schools or allow more of them to be created, teacher's unions and the government officials they support via campaign funds are openly hostile to them, as the book details. These adults are clearly acting in their best interests, not in the interests of the children they are claiming to serve.

With regard to government policy in general, there seems to be a complete disincentive to analyze policy in retrospect honestly, determine successes and failures, and learn from the past in order to influence future decisions. With government policy, intent often matters more than results, as intent earns votes. This can easily lead to perverse incentives.

As an example, it's easy to claim good intent when proposing to spend more money on schools. But, if we want to actually help children out, results matter more than intent, and it seems very clear that, past a certain point, pouring more money into the public school system has little to no impact on educational outcomes. Instead, we should both be looking at other factors, and we should be allowing for more competition so that we can iterate on more ideas more rapidly. The relative monoculture of the public school system, combined with perverse incentives among both the government and teacher's unions, seem unhealthy for society and for our children.
How much GPU capacity can you rent on GCloud / AWS / Azure / Oracle Cloud / IBM at once? You only gonna need it for a few minutes since blocks for ETH mined every 15 seconds.

It’s pretty easy to revert it: you fork the protocol. The ETH guys already did this once, hence Ethereum Classic.

>A key goal is to continue to simplify the system and pursue economies of scale to eventually lower the cost to less than $450 per toilet.

I realize that's the manufacturing cost, but that's significantly less than the retail cost of high-end dry toilets. Though, the latter fit into RVs, and this thing looks as big as a water closet all by itself.

This is because nobody can be assed to figure out who needs to communicate with who, on what.
What do you mean by 'session'?

Here's my experience. I have three devices I use to connect to my XMPP server: phone (Conversations), PC and laptop (both gajim). Each one generates a keypair. I verified the public keys of PC and laptop by scanning a QR code using Conversations (phone). Conversations remembers all fingerprints as my own. Next time I meet a friend, they scan the QR code on my phone. They now have verified all three of my devices.

IMO all the other free image sharing websites are still bad, i've yet to see anything that lets you -e.g.- make direct links to the images for use in Discord, Reddit, forums (phpbb), etc and not surround them with garbage and images tend to stay around for a long time unlike other places where they disappear after a while.

The only thing i found annoying with Imgur is the mobile site not allowing zooming for some reason (can be bypassed by loading the desktop version but it is still an annoyance).

Not sure if this will still be the case going forward though. I used to like Minus since they allowed all that stuff plus had unlimited GIF sizes and didn't reencode PNGs to JPGs (not sure if Imgur does that anymore) but after Minus was sold it went to hell and then disappeared completely.

An image hosting site seems like one of those applications that are easier than ever to build but impossible to monetize.

Most people who use imgur just hotlink - what's the incentive for a company to buy or start a new imgur?
I think part of it is because the classical styles have become easier to mass produce.

An ornate dress or complex molding can be churned out at a rapid pace these days, and knowing that cheapens the effect of it.

Due to automation complex construction and details are cheap, what is expensive is precision and high quality materials.

I guess some of it is also that we can’t even bring ourselves to do things how they really used to be done. We easily produce cheap imitations but won’t create the real thing.

300 hand sculpted marble statues lining a hall, compared to 300 computer generated 3D printed “sculptures” lining a hall. The idea is similar but the second one likely won’t have the same quality or impact.
if it's mined the only possible way would be to bribe the miners to revert the blocks by paying even more (like time bandit attack) or renting soooo much hashpower to create your own fork.

If it's not included yet you need to send another transaction with the same nonce that sends yourself 0 ether but with a higher gas price asap, this is not a guarantee however because the miner would probably still go with the transaction that is more profitable for them and because the fee was so high it got included in under 1 minute.

So once this transaction landed in the (public?) mempool it was gg.

Sounds like you guys are ok with the cold.
When I lived in cold climates I tried what you’re describing to limit spending. Living in cold indoors wrecked my mood even more than winter generally did so I gave up on it and accepted having to spend more on heat and save elsewhere.
I guess what I’m saying is that your approach probably wouldn’t work for everyone.
Fortunately I live somewhere warmer now.

It's simpler than that. The Chinese Development Bank offered very generous credit to Huawei in a time where the West was letting some of it's most innovative companies collapse or languish (the 2008 financial crisis). Nortel was the main reason this all happened. They were the ones that were doing all the cutting edge wireless network research and when they collapsed Huawei was the one that executed the best in the wake of said collapse.

Say what you will about Chinese companies but damn some of them execute well.
Your ISP needs to know the IP address of the site to route your TCP packets there, and they can easily do a reverse DNS lookup[1] on it. So hiding your DNS query from them won't prevent them from knowing what site you visited.

To buy old, dilapidated tech/media brands that no longer have any ability to get pay out investors (who are happy to sell on the cheap for a write-off), but still get some level of traffic. Bundle all the traffic together to sell ads across a network of sites with the hopes of profiting.

It’s a strategy as old as time. Sometimes it works (IAC, is arguably a good example of a company who has bought or funded companies at various stages of distress/hype (and incubated some that are very successful in their own right, like Match Group) and managed to get goodish CPMs across the sites they bundle together), most of the time it doesn’t. But the goal is to acquire the brand/traffic, cut costs to the bone, and attempt to profit off the traffic by selling ads or user data or whatever. It’s a rollup play and the goal is definitely not to invest back into the companies themselves any more than they need to run.
You are correct and there is already a bunch of off the shelf contracts that are basically plug and play...however it takes little knowledge to actually publish said contract and a small typo can either make the contact never accessible or easily exploitable.
Once it's recorded on the blockchain, there is no way to cancel it.

If they are lucky, they may be able to reach out to the miner and get a portion returned. Probably just tough luck though.
Haha. Added to taoup. https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup
I can only speak from personal experience (perhaps our Scrum consultant did it wrong). We have a large group and even running through the all of the demos (mostly slides really) from all of the teams at the end of a three week period took days. Added to this the retrospective, multiple planning sessions as well as all of the meetings that we used to have prior to doing this.

In the end, it was just so obviously unworkable to everyone it had to be stopped.

However, you are absolutely right, we were not in meetings 100% of the time - it just felt like it. Many people need good swaths of uninterrupted time (perhaps 1.5-2 hours minimum) in order to be productive. Rapid context switching between various meetings and development work can be expensive. It is unfortunate when this time can only be found outside of working hours.

My suggestion is to start with no process and no regular meetings and carefully add process/meetings as required. If you need to talk with one or more people... call them right now (or arrange a meeting with a clear agenda - right now). All overhead should be carefully evaluated in terms of its actual ROI.
People seem to value their identity and sense of belonging to a group more than their own life.

There's a lot of thinking around those lines, specially since the work of Bret Victor on data-rich programmable environments.

Spreadsheet-like IDEs are the most logical direction to meet that vision, specially when you want to attract non-programmers; figuring out the language syntax and the runtime execution model are the hardest parts of learning to program, and spreadsheets minimize both.

I put my bet on code notebooks, of the functional reactive variety. They have the same interaction model of the spreadsheet, intermixing data and code in the same environment, and they allow you to grow a program iteratively with cells acting as reusable objects - a simpler metaphor than OOP, but equally powerful. Data scientists are already making good use of them, and it's easy to think that these notebooks will be getting more and more of the debugging and DevOps functions of traditional IDEs.
Right, it's the scale and seemingly limitless ceiling.... seems crazy. Obviously there's a lot of low res tiny images on there etc but there's also not -- and for years and years?
Those are also compromised. Phillips telecoms used to have trapdoors for the NSA and so did Ericsson.

Peering into the Moon's Shadows with AI
I always catch flak for saying it, but we need to be honest about the fact that long COVID is largely a psychogenic illness. It can be a real thing, in the way that any infection can leave a sort of malaise that persists for years or even decades for the unlucky, but such reactions are incredibly rare. Yet based off the self-reported surveys, you'd think the rate of long COVID was like 10% among progressive twitter users in their early 20's...

I don't have the link to it but I saw a hilarious pre-print on "long COVID" the other day that was comparing the incidence of long COVID amongst people that had vs never had COVID. In many groups the people with COVID had more long COVID (but not enough to reach significance), but in the age range of like 12-15 years old there were literally more kids who never had COVID who reported long COVID than those who had COVID. It's as if people forgot that fatigue and malaise and chronic inflammation are all things that happened before COVID and will continue to happen long after...
