It's really not. Assuming your power source has the required amperage, short, infrequent bursts are much more effective than continuous operation. In embedded systems, it's all about duty cycle, and by that metric, Starlink blows the Thales modem out of the water.

The Thales VesseLink modem they used consumes 65W nominal/120W maximum. It offers a connection speed of a couple hundred kbps, so sending up a video file of a fixed size will require it to be on for quite a while - Assuming 200 kbps average, and a 360 MB video, that's 4 hours of uploading or 260 Watt-hours. Also, it's 12x9x2", and weighs 7.5 lbs; this is a boat not a hobby quadcopter. 260 Watt-hours is a lot; that's like 3 laptop batteries, but that's still smaller than the modem itself.

Starlink does consume 100W, but offers a connection speed of about 200 Mbps. The 360 MB video upload could complete in 14.4 seconds, which consumes 100 W * 14.4 seconds / 3600 seconds/hour = 0.4 Watt-hours. It is significantly larger, and it would probably have a harder time handling rough seas (not to mention saltwater intrusion), but that's a lot less power.

Whichever modem you're using, you'd want to turn it on infrequently.

Edit: The Saildrone product brief is here:

https://assets.website-files.com/5beaf972d32c0c1ce1fa1863/61...

It describes a 23' or 7m boat. The 33'/10m larger version has 300W continuous sensor power/2kW peak available from the solar panels, which appear to be of a comparable size to those on the Saildrone.

Has anyone ever told you that your company name sounds like how someone from northern England would say "(for) fuck's sake"?
`Maybe a` is a type:

For a start it's a discriminated union (a sum type), its set of values is:

a + 1

`a` is the values in the `Just` case, and 1 is the `Nothing` case. It's obvious why they're called sum-types when you view it like this.

`Maybe a` is a type-lambda abstraction (still a type)

`Maybe Int` is a type-application, passing Int to the `Maybe a` type-lambda as an argument, to get a `Maybe Int` in return (still a type).
I don't understand your reference to zippers?
Probably not. Anyone sceptical enough to use a "non-biased" search engine would be just as sceptical of the biases of any supposed "non-biased" competitor. Personally I'd argue there's not really such a thing as non-biased content. Everything produced by humans, either directly or indirectly is going to have some amount of bias.

It's also a balancing act to some extent. Is a search engine biased towards a certain political perspective but which reduces the amount of fake news better or worse than an unbiased search engine which weights fake news and accurate reporting equally? I think all you can really do is be aware of possible biases and question everything you're consuming.

My main concern with what Google and other tech platforms are doing is the subtleness which I suspect could be a deliberate move. Sites like Fox News still appear in Google results, but they just seem to be put significantly lower than other sources. Google knows 99% of people will look at the top 4-5 links, so as long as Fox News or other right-wing sources don't appear near the top you've effectively censored their content to 99% of Google's users without ever having to admit to doing anything nefarious because it's still technically there and maybe if you were explicit enough with your search it might even rank in the top results.

I don't really know what the answer is. I'd personally just urge people not to consume news, and if they're curious about anything just download official statistics. For example go ask people how many people they think will die this decade of smoking related diseases, or how many people are killed in terrorist incidents. Generally people don't know these numbers, despite the fact one kills millions and is rarely spoken about and the other is basically an irrelevant problem despite being discussed endlessly. Google is just a small part of what was already well established problem imo.
Could be SIM swapping?

The same James Grant that predicted the junk bond meltdown, the same James Grant that predicted the dot-com bust, the same James Grant that predicted the housing crash, the same James Grant that predicted the meltdown in Chinese resi...if you have experience in markets, you will learn two things: everyone makes wrong predictions, and you can be wrong now/right later.

Also, you appear (for some reason, have you ever read Grant's?) not to mention any of the numerous calls on individual stocks they have got right. The macro is only part of what they do.

When you are read by pretty much every hedge fund manager in the world, when they will pay $2.5k to come to your conference, and $1.3k/year for a subscription...you are doing something right (also, as someone who studied economic history, his book are first-rate...compare his books to Philip Coggan, a columnist at the Economist who has written books on economic history, it is night and day...Grant's books are academic tier quality, people who work in finance today still read books he wrote three decades ago).
So you observed a difference between one set of people you know and another, and you're expanding that to the entire countries those people are from?
I mean, is it true even then?

I know it doesn't work like that, but as a first approximation we can imagine that people working on the Manhattan project would be able to write some javascript or whatever given the chance, while the opposite isn't true. So you would still want to hire the best people you can get your hands on: maybe you underestimated the difficulty of the current project, or the next one will be harder. Anything else is just Pareto-inefficient.

The problem with STIR/SHAKEN in my view, is that it is only a matter of time for scammers to get around it, some are already doing it using banks of cell phones, but I am sure they will find a way.

Sometimes, I think we look to history for a lesson. Back in the olden days, it used to cost 5 cents to make a call. There were no spam calls back then of course. But if we were to bring that back, but instead of the 5 cents going to the carrier, what if it went to the called party ? Then if a friend calls me and leaves a message, their account is debited 5 cents and mine is credited 5 cents. Then if I call them back, the reverse occurs and it cancels out basically. For most of us, over time, it costs nothing. But it would effectively put robocallers out of business, they are playing the odds and have to make millions of calls a day. And, if they did keep calling, well, great. I answer and hang up, thanks for the nickel. hehe.

Nothing we got is ever going to be a valuable antique, despite the ability to last "forever".

From the sounds of it, you are not located near a large city. That may be the difference. I am in the Chicago metro area. I lived in skyscrapers for the last 20 years - in the city there is no stigma attached to doing anything, so there is a thriving market of giving things away or selling them to avoid the trash. All the skyscrapers have loading docks and freight elevators (and they all charge money to dispose of large things that don't fit in the regular trash). It's easy and nobody looks at you strangely or judges you. Out here in my new house on the edge of the metro area, you can tell that things are different. There is less stuff available and when you talk about it people either have a blank look or raise an eyebrow as if to say "Why would you do that, don't you have any money?"

Perhaps next time you head to Toronto/Calgary, bring along a trailer?

Span | Firmware, Backend, Mobile, Mechanical, Electrical, More! | SF Bay Area HQ | Full Time (visa welcome), Interns | https://www.span.io/careers

Span is reinventing the electrical grid to move us towards a distributed future. That means powerful edge compute and real time controllers integrated into buildings that can intelligently manage the flow of energy between connected systems. We don’t have time to ineffectually fumble at half-measures over the next decade, so instead Span is fast-forwarding to the grid of 2050. Distributed energy is a critical tool in solving the climate crisis and Span is a key part of the grid-wide overhaul that necessarily comes with it.

We are currently shipping the second iteration of our original product, the Span electrical panel in volume and generating revenue (in addition to multiple funding rounds). There is a significant amount of work left to realize the full potential of that product, and we are working on new and exciting things which have not yet been revealed.

If you're interested in working on an important problem with kind, smart people Span is the place to be! We are hiring across all engineering disciplines (and many other domains as well!) to work on current and future products. Check out the jobs page at the top for the full suite of openings. Happy to answer more detailed questions with specific information about certain roles here as well.

That's good. Don't advocate against yourself. Other kinds of work don't have this because they take on that idealogy of working against themselves. Be privileged and demand more. The companies are perfectly capable of paying it.
So still misogyny.
When you type into the Safari address bar, it drops down a list of search results while you're typing. I am guessing this comes from the long-promised Apple search engine. It works well enough that I often find myself skipping the Google search results page altogether.

The article implies it's common for recipients to return a lot of the tokens in cases like this. Anyone have any clue why? I would thinks there is 0 incentive to return free crypto.
My statement was within the context of there somehow being 10GB of node metadata (which could mean different things, but I'm assuming it means 10GB of stack usage to recursively visit each node.)

If you're up to 10GB worth of nodes in a syntax tree, you're probably doing something elaborate enough that you'd want to squeeze out every ounce of performance, and you're possibly a domain expert. Maybe you're making a static analysis tool? On the other hand, a lot of static analysis tools are painfully slow, so maybe there's a lot of recursive searching on deep data structures going on!

Likewise, if you're trying to solve an NP-hard problem and you're recursing through 10GB of anything, you're probably already asking the computer to do something unreasonable by many orders of magnitude, and all a larger stack would do is delay an eventual out of memory error. Or, you're doing something clever and knowingly pushing the computer to its limits, and so you once again would want to squeeze out every ounce of performance and go with an iterative solution.

> You don't have or need a cache. You have a local database on the device that syncs up with the server, if online.

The source of truth is the server. Everything else (i.e. the local copy) is a snapshot of that, aka a cache. Its just that offline-first is _always_ a cache-first read, so you seem to think that this makes it not a cache any more, but a regular data store.

But don’t just google the location! The scammers are onto this now and have set up fake call centres and banking branches to trick you.

You need to start from a reasonable root of trust like your local government. Go down to city hall and ask them to pull the business license for the organization, and visit the address on file there and work your way down through the organization to the department you’re trying to contact.

Agree with you 110 Terawatt Hours per year is likely too much, even though it's `less alarming than you might think` (quote from the last paragraph of HBR article). Core of the post was not much on the usage of Bitcoin rather than the trend towards decentralisation. Resource usage of proof-of-work based blockchain is definitely a discussion for a later post though.

I also invite you to look at the source for this number (https://cbeci.org/cbeci/comparisons), which is nuanced, and makes the distinction between electricity and energy consumption.
Yes, you're correct. I was too focused on getting the letters in the right order and ended up with the wrong letters in the right order :-)
>Nothing would prevent the author from just issuing a lot of NFT's pointing to a lot of copies of the same art piece

Nothing prevents an author from just issuing a lot of duplicate art and claiming they are the original copy.

Except it's fraud and people would likely figure it out over time. That's the exact same scenario as the blockchain except it's even harder for the artist to cheat as everyone can see the blockchain so when the artist makes copies and tries to sell them then everyone can easily see that they are frauds.

>you can't even prove that it at one time pointed to a specific image

Most NFTs use IPFS which uses hashes to uniquely identify files and even if the file disappears from the internet it can be recovered by anyone who still has the original file and be back online.

Given the risk of xyz agency, there seem to be only a couple options to me:

- side-load a peer reviewed apk so you can check the sigs and make sure all crypto is being done locally (and to make sure that the implementation is solid)

- manage your own keys like you would with traditional pgp emails. Give your public to your friend. Force them to send anything sensitive using it. Maybe change to symmetric keys from asym but rotate occasionally. But you still have to trust the app you use to do this unless you want to do it manually each time.

*These don't necessarily solve the Metadata issue
Not necessarily. You can collect information such as username, passwords, phone numbers from leaked databases and then attempt to login via Coinbase. Some might have 2FA, so they might even go as far as to sim swap them given that they know their phone number.

So it doesn’t necessarily mean they got it from Coinbase.

In the linked PDF, Coinbase does not claim to have knowledge of a vulnerability in their system (edit: though it does note "the third party took advantage of a flaw in Coinbase’s SMS Account Recovery process," I interpreted that as "we supported SMS account recovery at all" which is inherently broken [0]). The requisite two-factor bypass is detailed in the linked pdf:

> Even with the information described above, additional authentication is required in order to access your Coinbase account. However, in this incident, for customers who use SMS texts for two-factor authentication, the third party took advantage of a flaw in Coinbase’s SMS Account Recovery process in order to receive an SMS two-factor authentication token and gain access to your account.

My guess is, because funds were stolen from users' accounts, the CA breach notification laws apply and this needed to be disclosed as such. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that Coinbase was technically "breached," only that customer accounts were compromised.

If the attacker controls your personal email associated with Coinbase, accompanying passwords, and phone number, and you use SMS 2FA, then your funds were stolen. Otherwise, they were safe. That's my reading of the article.
