I am an experienced Data Analyst with about 8 years work experience. I am passionate about finding insight from data, solving business problems, writing and learning new things.

Most of my experience is in eCommerce and Energy. I have started learning about data science as well. I got a Bachelor's in Computer Science.

It has a touchscreen, this update was about getting the display on it working properly.

Touch keyboards are only really usable on tablets and phone type devices, which this device is not trying to be. If you want a Linux phone check out Android devices or customs like PinePhone.
Is their “scanning tunnelling microscope” similar to a atomic force microscope [0]? It also drags a probe over the surface so I’m wondering if they are in the same family.

I also find this unreadable but for a different reason. I'm on mobile and it's rendering unreadably small. On the one hand maybe I should put more time into my setup. On the other hand maybe we, the target audience of this sort of content should comment when the format is unusable. If your power users find mailing list popups annoying to the point they go elsewhere don't you want to know? Isn't a comment on hacker news a great way for someone to learn what their readers like or don't like?
Where is the motivation for Merck to pour funds into a drug they don't get any return on?

And if the government is doing this R&D instead of pharma cos, what is their motivation to perform? If you're a government apparatchik making decisions about what drugs to invest into R&D for, what penalty and upside do you get for being wrong/right? Getting fired or getting a promotion? That's hardly motivating at all.

Your proposal has terrible incentives for everyone all around and would certainly reduce innovation in the long run.

Look at the Terminal Equipment tab of this page linked below. It shows the Cobham ( different manufacturer from Thales) antenna for the same satellite service. It looks like it is a set of six or so patch antennas. It's not clear if it is switching between patches or combining the signals to/from the patches. If the latter, it is indeed a phased array. That seems likely because the other manufacturer, Intellian, describes their antenna as a 12-element phased array. I'm guessing the Thales also uses a phased array.

In my experience LED has a significant worse lifetime than compact fluorescents. Both are about the same in energy efficiency. Expensive LED lamps have a better color rendition than CFL but cheap LED is very bad in light quality. Cheap LED lamps (and LED filament lamps) are also known for horrendous flicker.

I'll be switching back to CFL for the time being, but I hope LED will eventually get equal lifespan and light quality.

I prefer Moom[1] over Rectangle for window management because I find Aero Snap style management annoying due to the visual noise it creates by unintentionally triggering while moving around windows. It also has a nice unobtrusive UI summoned by hovering over window resize buttons.

Not a fan of Rectangle, much prefer Tiles. Same thing, but the snap rectangles are much easier to see.

I'm not sure I agree that window management in macOS is the worst, though. Just different. If you're used to Windows-style management, the position of windows probably is a bit more important; if you're used to macOS-style management, you're heavily using Mission Control and Exposé to switch anyway so their actual position doesn't matter much.

But things like Tiles, Rectangle, and BetterSnapTool still sure are nice.
It is extremely hard to organize a protocol change that succeeds in tampering with existing smart contacts, let alone eliminates the permissionless/neutrality guarantees of a public blockchain with significant adoption.

For a public blockchain with as large a userbase as Ethereum, a protocol change that nullifies its neutrality and permissionless-ness would be nearly impossible for any group to push through.

It's absolutely incomparable to traditional banks, with respect to the degree of resistance to interference from governments.
Running out of vault cash is not a bank run. Those are two completely different things.

A bank run is something that forces the bank out of business -- it makes the bank insolvent. This happens because the bank can't convert its illiquid assets (e.g. mortgages) to cash in order to meet depositor outflow.

That doesn't happen anymore in part because there are markets for things like mortgages that didn't exist before (making those mortgages liquid) and also in part because banks are on the one hand regulated to control what types of assets they are allowed to hold but at the same time they are given access to lending facilities in which they can pledge their assets as collateral to get reserves directly from the Federal reserve, which will never run out of reserves, and with those reserves they can purchase cash from the Bureau of Engraving. Then trucks will ship that cash to the branch. Yes, it may take some time, but the bank will always be able to close out deposits after a brief delay.

Obviously banks try to minimize their cash holdings because cash pays no interest. So they have cash management professionals whose job is to predict cash demand (which is predictable) and hold no more cash than is necessary to meet that demand, parking the rest of their working capital into short term interest bearing liabilities like commercial paper or bills. Today, even reserves pay interest. So everything is better than cash. That necessarily means unexpected events will lead to a situation in which the cash management team underestimates a cash need and so they have to sell some assets (or borrow reserves), pick up the phone and order a truck. That happens quickly but not instantly. When that happens, e.g. when the cash management team makes a mistake, it's not considered a bank run, even if it means that a branch has to close until the armored trucks arrive. It's no different than Safeway running out of apples -- actually there can be prolonged apple shortages at safeway, but there can be no prolonged cash shortages at a bank, since the bureau of engraving can print cash with much lower latency than farmers can grow more apples.

The recorded sales-pitch with their CEO Nix that the BBC aired, revealed that effort as largely a Political Scam operation. The guy was supposedly the CEO of an AI research firm - but he was offering services to send underage prostitutes around to politicians to attempt to entrap them for extortion purposes.

Whatever Cambridge Analytica actually DID, it was probably 90% snake-oil; (leveraging on the "AI" hype in the industry).
Can you elaborate? I'd like to learn more about this. The only initiative I know about is STIR/SHAKEN.
Generalized sufficiently, all of these words mean "relative".

Consider the weakest relationship between words and thoughts: the words that you habitually use guide/reflect how you think of the world.

If the social relationship of "elder brother's husband" is different for you than "younger wife's sister" in some generalizable way, then words like these are meaningful to you. If you don't have any preconceived notion that you should be more polite or defer to one of those more than to the other, maybe they are just labels.

Cultures and families are different. When they adopt words, they usually have meanings.
I used to read a website that interviewed people (often successful people) and asked them about their setup. They'd explain all the apps and gadgets they used. I forget what the site was called.

Are there any updated sites like that? I find it super interesting to understand the apps/gadgets and workflows that super productive people use.
I'm not seeking an explanation. I'm trying to draw attention to my argument that NFTs won't allow us to do anything fundamentally new.

NFTs are hyped as a grand new thing, then someone asks about some tricky edge cases or how abuse will be handled, and then NFT proponents say those abuses already happen and it will be no different with NFTs. Like a lot of blockchain technologies, it's just another way to do what we already do.

edit:

Actually, I see your original argument is that NFT's are an "open API". You never did claim that NFTs allow us to do things we cannot already do.
> What's the of value owning a bank account you can't take a withdrawal from?

… at the moment.

Microsoft didn't pay didn't dividends… until they did. Apple paid dividends, stopped, then started again. If you knew about where they'd go, would you object to buying them before they started paying out?

Amazon hasn't ever paid dividends, but would you object to owning AMZN? Especially if you purchased it in (say) 2011.

Total Returns = Capital Appreciation (CA) + Dividends (D)

For most people saving for retirement is the primary thing that they're putting away money for. For that you want the biggest pile of money you can get for when you hit 65 (or whenever). Whether you can get pile with just CA (like with AMZN), or with CA+D, is irrelevant at the end of the day.

It's not that dividends are not important—they can be a (big) component of TR—but fetishizing them like there's no other way to build your retirement pile is short sighted.

AMZN may eventually pay out dividends, but until then you can own a piece of a company growing by creating value, and be part of the ride of rising value (represented, loosely, by a rising stock price).

Just like idrios said, the difference is the creation of value. Companies especially public ones, must produce value. If they don't, no one will invest and if they continue not producing value long enough, they go broke and declare bankruptcy.

In a ponzi scheme, money is just moved from new investors to old investors without any value creation. It's impossible to sustain which is why the only interesting question is how long can a ponzi scheme keep going. That's one aspect why Madoff's ponzi scheme was so incredible. It went on for nearly 2 decades (~17 years)!

It's why pyramid schemes are ponzi schemes, they rely on continuously recruiting new people who invest and funnel money up. Once you're in one your goal is to recruit as many people as possible so you're not at the bottom and begin getting money flowing up to you.

Companies (public and private) go bust all the time and do a lot more than move money around. In fact, a company only gets money from its shares through a traditional IPO.

The public markets are second hand markets. If I buy a share of Apple stock, Apple doesn't get another ~$142 (approx its current share price). The person from whom I'm buying the shares gets it.

The only way the company can directly get cash from its stock is by issuing and then selling new stock. Stock fundamentally is a currency the company can control just as the Fed and Treasury control the Dollar. It's an asset which also means companies can take out loans against stock they have as collateral (or they could just sell any extra shares they have to the market).

All of this is also what makes bankruptcy very interesting. A lot of people are owed money, various types of investors, employees etc. Who gets paid, and how much is always the question. Some people by legal right have higher priority than others. Judges play a role in adjudicating this too.

TLDR: Companies are obviously not ponzi schemes. The stock market is just a way for people to benefit from companies' success.
As I understand it there are no known uses.
Fair point, but you can purchase the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund which has pretty much the entire stock market. That way, you're only betting on the direction of the total market. And as history shows, it will most probably creep up at 6 to 8% over the long haul.

Just thinking off the top of my head, bioaccumulation is a thing for sure but I don't know how much that it comes from soil. Mercury is naturally occurring in various minerals, although not directly biologically available. Mercury fillings are the same way, not readily available for uptake by your body.
When I was growing up and the web was new I was told to treat anything I read on the internet with skepticism. I believed some things as a young teenager, from the outlandish John Titor hoax to the reasonable but alarmist Peak Oil theories. I made some predictions to my friends and family that never came to pass. I learned to think skeptically the hard way.

This is a phase that society has to go through that will teach the cultural lesson that we can't trust too much what we read on the internet. Not that we could trust the media institutions that came before that (in a different way). We need to learn to think for ourselves and also embrace living in the world we have always lived in, where certainty of knowledge is a rare thing.

> What you described sounds really interesting and useful if I understand it correctly, and I can think of multiple times over the past decade plus that it would have been useful to use as a consultant for companies I've worked for, if it wasn't too costly.

Yeah I think I was maybe unfair on them to end it that way. They were probably ahead of their time, and it was a hard sell. I hope the people there went on to do more good things.
> copy your plan then sell a couple of extra $100 cheap tickets to fill the plane up.

How and or when exactly to you plan to sell those tickets?

Do it after the price hike and people will just wait.

Do it before and you need to see the future to know how many seats will eventually be sold otherwise you just traded a 400$ ticket for a 100$ ticket. It’s no more a viable option than suggesting it’s easy to win the lottery just pick the correct numbers.

Precisely, rules are implemented by people, and people are often idiots.
Ultimately, the problem lies in treating climate change as something that still needs to be proven. It isn't. Whether anecdote X "proves" global warming is only of academic interest because we already know it's happening.

It's like someone walking in saying "Oh my god, the rain is really pouring down, I'm soaked!" Everybody nods and silently accepts the sentence.

And then someone tries to say that doesn't prove it's raining, after all, yesterday I was also soaking wet after that incident with the sprinkler. And of course everybody's like, dude what's the matter with you, we can look at the window right now and see it's raining.

For me, FF shows matches from History first (they have a little clock icon), followed by search results (which aren't from GOOG if you have switched your default search engine to something else, mine are all 'search with DuckDuckGo'), followed by 'Firefox Suggest' which looks to be bookmarks that somehow match whatever I typed in the location bar, at least for me.
Full text here it's not trivial to find [1].

This study doesn't show that molnupiravir (rNHC) is genotoxic at levels effective for treating covid. Dosage of 1µm reduced COVID+ cells by 15x, while 3µm removed the infection entirely. [2] 1µm and even 3µm dosing didn't lead to any statistically significant genotoxicity, only 10µm showed effects [3].

The authors know this, because their conclusion is that the risk of genotoxicity "might not be zero." They have not demonstrated that therapeutic doses cause any statistically significant increase in mutations.

> My vision of this wouldn’t involve not accepting edits; but rather, the document would react to you trying to edit a locked block the same way macOS reacts to you trying to edit a locked document: offer to duplicate the block and then let you edit the duplicate. Both versions of the block would then appear in the document, perhaps with some annotation that they’re sibling forks of the same original text. (Compare and contrast: books that compare-and-contrast works with subtle changes between different versions, e.g. the four Gospels of the Bible.)

If you're using a system where you're guaranteed to have knowledge of what other people are editing at all times, there's really no need to use CRDTs in the first place.
