Remember that the lightning network actually doubled in capacity recently over a few months and that channels increase in size as the bitcoin price goes up. Meaning a channel with $2000 of capacity today will have ~$20,000 of capacity by the next halving (assuming we continue the 10x trend) without any changes.

This results is a decreasing failed transaction rate for increasing sizes of transactions as we move into the future.
Why are those the only two options? I propose a third option: think through the idea and its success metrics; gather user feedback to iterate.

At least this idea was scrapped before they launched to customers, but the Google Pay debacle sounds like a lack of decent planning.

hey, go trade, then! you can just long these equities yourself and make a lot of money if you're right. and there's a lot of very smart and very sophisticated firms that would love to be your counterparty, so you'll get great execution!

> I find it interesting that people on the left in general tend to believe the worst of corporations and have more confidence in government, and people on the right have the reverse views in general.

This is because they're competing coalitions. If you want to build a garbage F-35 for a trillion dollars*, the trillion dollars will come mostly from corporations and capitalists. If you want increased media consolidation and to keep your Hollywood movie studio cartel protected from competition by upstarts, you want regulatory capture and a lot of international treaties to launder your draconian copyright laws through, i.e. less government antitrust enforcement and less government autonomy.

*This is, in actual fact, an underestimate. Somehow.

Both of those things are bad, but the people who want them both want to control the government in order to institute them. The beneficiaries of having the government not do either of those bad things would be the public at large. They're diffuse and unable to effectively organize, so there is no political party representing them.

And notice that I just provided an example of "the right" wanting wasteful central government spending and "the left" acting in the interests of multi-billion dollar corporations. Because they're not principled ideologies, they're heterogeneous opposing political coalitions.
Hello there,
I'm the OP here!

First of all sorry for my bad English. It is not my first language so. Thanks for the open discussion and your support!

It's my bad i should have mentioned more stuff to our medium post so that it won't leave readers with any confusions. Please pardon me as this was my first post. I've never had written anything before.

You might got some questions like

Q: Who are we?
A: We are simply a india based gaming startup. We had 8-10 games published on our plays store account.

Q:Why do we mentions address of UK on our tweeter handle?
A:. According to google policy we have to provide a physical address if we want to use in-app-purchases. This physical address is visible publicly on our games pages.

Reason providing our uk address is we have a representative living there who can reply to any type of physical communications such as letters on behalf of us. He also can reply to various other stuffs like GDPR and different other policies. For ex. You can send a latter to the given address to get in touch with us!Please note that google asks for communication address not the business registered address to show it publicly. Our business registration address already submitted to them but it's not just public.

Q: Where can i find your games incase i want to see them?
A: You can find it on apk pure. You can search "tonk" you'be able to see our account "6Ace Games", also we had added the link in our medium post in bottom. Please check!

Q:How me monetized our games?
A: Through admob and in-app products. Nothing shady!

Q: Does the games targeting children?
A: No not at all, all our games are rated 18+ adult category

Q:Our games was providing gambling?
A: No, It's just simulations. You can't win money or bet money, Not at all!

Q: what about your domain 6acegames.com?
A: Yes, our domain 6acegames.com is new. The reason behind it is very silly you may find it funny but still let me tell you!, at first we have bought domain sixacegames.com(you can check reg. details) thinking it will help in seo and all because we didn't want to include a number "6" in our domain. But later after our games got popular user started searching for 6Acegames that's why we bought this domain as well in may 2021 just to build the presence on google search.

Q:Why no presence on LinkedIn?
A: Try searching "Whyphy Infotech". 6Acegames is just business name we use!

Q: What about social media?
A:we are not very active in social media. As you can see in our tweeter handle we have 0 followers. The reason is simple we never promoted it to our users. Although we have some followers on our Instagram handle, but they follow us because we provide free perks occasionally to our audience.

Yep "my advice to parents is only give kids access to tech they're ready for"
There is no metric to check if the kids a re ready for, I doubt that most adults are ready for the psychological effects of social media. This is too easy a way to offload the entire responsibility onto the parents, while the companies that make billions from it are off the hook. It's like blaming smokers because tobacco companies use addictive additives.
This is a myth that keeps getting passed around. The FDA actually had more than one therapeutic with eua for covid19 when they created the eua for the vaccine. There is no rule forbidding an EUA for a vaccine if a therapeutic exists.
Internet was like that at first for me. Anonymity is freeing. But it's not a goal, in the end you want long-term bonds.

Also I believe holidays filled that role for kids. A new space of growth.
Considering the ongoing experiment with novel mRNA technology, it's interesting, if confirmed, that we're learning after decades on the market that this drug so well-known and massively used could have some unforeseen side effects during pregnancy.
Sounds reasonable. Not sure how or if I'd report it in that situation, though.
Looks like "lie flat" moment is going to hit hardly very soon.
kinda terrifying to be completely honest.
False. The existence of a therapeutic does not block approval of other treatments or vaccines. In fact, there were multiple emergency authorized therapeutics for c19 when the made the eua for the vaccine.

And no one is talking about endless vaccines. We now have a 3rd booster for at-risk populations. It's possibly/likely that if they extend that recommendation to the rest of the population that 3 doses may be all that is needed for long term, strong immunity. Just like there are 3 doses for hep B and several other vaccines.

> That's some emotive language, and projecting viewpoints that I don't think represent the beliefs or thoughts of most Australians or New Zealanders.

But xenophobia is literally the policy; even their own citizens aren’t able to return without great expense and difficulty. The mood of xenophobia is intrinsically connected with the idea of societal hygiene. In a very literal sense, people outside of Australia are an unclean biohazard.

It’s reaching an absurd point now, Australia has their army deployed to enforce a lockdown, while 50% of the population is vaccinated.

They’re going to be in for a nasty shock when they discover that the elderly still drop like flies even when they’re vaccinated.
It's a shame the article focuses so heavily on the green aspect rather than the process, but I guess BMW doesn't want to give away trade secrets, and this is just a regurgitated press release.

For example, what's going on in the first stage of the process where the paint head seems to be drawing but nothing shows up. It's it painting liquid masking tape onto the car? Just thin lines of the same paint? The robot appears to switche paint heads after doing it, suggesting it's maybe a different substance, or maybe just a different spray head.

On the topic of platform switches, I thought Apple handled the ARM switch very well!

I was initially hesitant when my current employer handed me an M1 MacBook for software development (typical web and tools dev). I wanted to request for a last gen Intel Mac instead.

6 months later I realized that I haven’t yet had any major issues with doing web development, or using most tools. Rosetta 2 handles most x86-64 software well with a little startup delay, and the list of native ARM software is still growing.

The initial 2 months were painful only because the existing developers and tools were all x86-64 and no one else had an M1 Mac. There was no formal IT team and so I don’t think they thought about platform compatibility etc. I had to look for alternatives, workarounds, compile from source, but this phase went better and lasted shorter than I expected.

Combined with the lower cost and higher performance of the M1 platform it’s a no brainer for organizations.
Why mention your employer?
We’re projected to stabilise off at about 10 billion I believe. Which while a huge number, is not unsustained exponential growth.

As countries get richer and women gain better access to education and improved rights, the countries seem to go through an inflection point where suddenly no one wants to have children and the birth rate falls below replacement (2.0, two children to replace two parents)

For us as a species to survive we need to try and stabilise that at 2.0 + some small safety margin (to make up for infertility, people who really don’t want children, or physically can’t).

While we’re bound to one planet (which it looks like is going to be for awhile, “sending people to Mars” is very different from “sizeable % of the total human population living on Mars”) it’s preferable for that stable population point to be as small as possible.

10 billion is a lot, but it looks stable at least. If we bring our replacement rate down more to peak the total population earlier, we have this weird problem where the replacement rate is well below 2.0, so no one is having children, and we suddenly have to convince people to start having more.

It feels like everything else in life; the birthrate would keep yo-yo-ing above and below replacement rate, and we really don’t want it above while it’s so cramped here and we’re messing up fundamental environmental systems that we rely on.

Like everything else these days it seems like it kind of comes back to “well, if you want to do something, first we’ve got to deal with climate instability”. /shrug
> The decoder is wider than it seems but isn't the throughput lower for those instructions anyway? i.e. different decoders for different instructions complexities.

The short decoders don't typically have issues with mod/rm memory destination fields. It's a little confusing because there's typically at least two uOP formats inside the cores. The decoders generally discussed spit out uOPS that still look fairly x86 in the semantics they encode (2 address, can be RMW, etc.) just wide, but fixed width. But by the time they've made their way to the functional units they've been cracked into more uOPs so AGU, LD, ALU, ST can all go to different ports that can handle that work.

> The designs M1 is competing with all have L0s, surely? I guess it could be masked off for a low power design but I would've thought not.

Most designs I've seen they're actually most important as a power saving feature. They shine well in microbenchmarking for perf, but not as much for general code. The real win is the clock gating all the i fetch and decode, most of which gets shared with RISC too (think I-TLBs, and Ifetch before decode).
> agweek.com > Is Hacking the Next Struggle for Agriculture?

It's great industries are talking about this internally.

The answer is it's certainly not an infrastructure issue. Almost no hacking effects infrastructure. Either the attacker is lied about (it was internal) or exaggerated.

"He controls them. He doesn't own them."

He controls at least 75% of the class B shares.

About half of that percetange are shares he owns; the other half are controlled by proxy voting agreements with the owners.

As long as at least 9.1% of all shares issued and outstanding are class B stock, the persons controlling those class B shares will have the majority of shareholder voting power.^1

The percentage of all stock issued and outstanding that is class A stock is unlikely to ever rise above 90.9%. Even if if owners of class B shares sell, there is an automatic conversion to class A shares on any transfer and Zuckerberg's voting power only increases as a result.

1. As of 31 Dec 2020, Facebook has 2,406 million shares of class A stock and 443 million shares of class B stock issued and outstanding. Class A stock has one vote per share, class B has 10.
It's not just Americans, look at what's happening in England right now after Brexit. Most people have a very shallow understanding of where things come from. Ask them where their phone came from and they'll say it was made in China but that's not the whole truth. I had this argument with an individual who claimed to be "anti-collectivist" whatever the fuck that means. He claimed he wanted to live in a society where everyone was free to be individuals. I retorted that in this current age of manufacture its impossible. I said, if you want to truly independent then try to build a computer from scratch, and I don't mean from off the shelf components. I mean, fabricate every component from scratch. He responded that's impossible because I don't have the resources to build the ICs and dies required. I said then you can't be anti-collectivist because you exist as a member of a collective that produces products that are readily available for you to consume, you are therefore as much a member of the collective as anyone else, if you want to go be an individual then give up technology and live off the land.

The fastest way is start your own company and name yourself CEO.
Facebook can totally manipulate people into voting for politicians who can do any number of the things you mentioned. If that fails, we can also assume it has enough private information to blackmail people in positions of power.
This looks awesome. Will definitely throw it on a Pi and have a play. Life the idea and the aesthetics.
It is possible that lifestyle and other factors lead to both the negative outcomes in the article, and by general pain and fever that require paracetamol. The animal studies, if verified, may be more concerning.
I doubt Japan and Australia can restrain China. I also find it highly unlikely either can afford to take on a multimillion man army that has prepared for at least half a century for this kind of engagement.

The amount of casualties in those countries would be crippling in any scenario I can imagine. This pushes me to the conclusion that Taiwan will be reabsorbed by mainland without a bullet being fired.
Right, you’re saying unions don’t represent labor because if they did, the constant talk about unions who the equivalent of taking about labor.

Something that has always surprised me a bit is how many developers want to run their own large companies. Wanting to run a small company is largely about personal freedom that comes for not having a boss, but wanting to be the head of a large business is a whole different ballgame. It's a role that encompasses strategy, leadership, and management - 3 things that can only really be done by talking to people and understanding them. It's a very different role to writing code. Most developers who enjoy writing code run away from meetings given the slightest opportunity, yet they also covet a job that's 90% about having meetings.

For a very long time that was my own journey. I got up to CTO level for a while. Then I realized I just don't enjoy it, so now I'm a senior engineer again. Wanting to be a CEO takes a very specific mindset.

Detectives and other “senior” police officers in UK generally work in plain clothes. They aren’t generally on the beat shaking people down, but are otherwise regular police officers, can and will arrest you if need be. But then this is UK, citizen arrests are rare but also 100% legal in appropriate circumstances so it’s not a biggie here.

The law says, IIRC that plainclothes officers must show their ID, without even being asked for it, when approaching people.

So it’s not like they are secret spooks.

Sure but there are huge players in the x86 space so no one company could lock it down to only run companies $X software. Also the supplier and consumers are separate, Intel and AMD make the CPU and other parties like Microsoft, Linux. make the software, and then even other companies sell both the hardware+software (Amazon, Dell, HP, etc.)

If custom ARM chips make x86 irrelevant and are designed 100% in-house then we could have a situation where the only option is running that locked-down/walled OS or using an old, outdated hardware. Sure you can run our own code in the cloud but that's still under the eyes of the cloud provider.

Luckily this probably won't happen. Computation as a product is a large enough market that there should be sufficient demand for an open platform. Even if the market didn't provide this demand, a large number governments would raise concern & intervene.
