sure, but it's also running at JEDEC either way, it's actually irrelevant to performance, it's just a matter of packaging (obviously for laptops, stacking the packages is more convenient than DIMMs or soldered modules).
This is great analogy, except the "inside" of bitcoin is constantly growing bigger and assimilating more real world realms. It now includes the entire country of El Salvador.

The real magic happens when a nation state starts selling it's exports priced in bitcoin instead of dollars. In fact, Putin was recently asked about exactly this for Russia. He dismissed it as "too early to talk about the trade of energy resources in crypto", but my takeaway from that statement, is that the door is absolutely open. [0]

Then again, wanting to sell oil for something other than dollars is probably why the US killed both Saddam Hussein (wanted Euros) and Muammar Gaddafi (wanted gold backed African currency), so we'll see if the US still has enough proof of violence (PoV) to maintain security of the dollar as the global reserve currency.

I don't know what I'm talking about either, so this is just my 2 sats.

I think that even the most die-hard Bitcoin enthusiast will be aware of the fact that nothing lasts forever.

And for now Bitcoin seems to have outlasted the most recent asteroid impact. Seriously, any 'prophet' that tells you what will happen but not when is not worth listening to because they are just throwing out random stuff in the hope that something will stick. Which of course eventually it does. In NL we have a similar figure, one 'Maurice de Hond', he predicts stuff all the time, forgets his failures and accents his successes and people lap it up. It's embarrassing.

It is more complicated than that. The book is vague though colorful on many points, so there is considerable room for interpretation. On several points in the book ornithopters are described as bug like, buzzing when active, and having bug like buzzing wings. The evocative version in the movie is consistent with one particular interpretation of what the book was depicting.
Interestingly, https://www.example.com might still be here in 500 years. It's part of the spec, and the web probably isn't going anywhere.

I guess that isn't a direct answer to "How can we host a website?" but it's at least n=1.

Archive the site into a file, get the strongest radio transmitter you can find, point it at the closest black hole and then just start beaming bits for long as you like.

Some of those RF photons will arrive just outside the event horizon and be bent ~180° to a trajectory that will intercept the earth’s path about the same amount of time in the future.

By then we will have solar-system sized radio receivers that can pick it up (or, to satisfy the doomophiles, ‘land on a dead planet’)

That's what I heard from a musical artist (who is quite successful in their niche), too: The money from streaming is surprisingly little, so fans who want to support them should buy the music in whatever medium (CD, vinyl, download...).

They do put a lot of emphasis on their vinyl records, though. I don't know whether that's because it's also the most popular (you get the big physical disk with artwork and everything and a download code included), or whether that nets them more. I can ask.
Curious that external monitors are capped at 60Hz for all M-series processors (i think? the note about the Max is ambiguous). Especially when the internal monitor is 120hz. Or maybe that’s not actually the limit?

This was what I meant. In this case, AWS is selling general-purpose compute, so there's minimal iDevice full stack synergy, and they're just looking for performance, power use, and total cost.

Yeah, I get the theory -- it's not a particularly deep theory -- but does it really work?

Consider that when nations go to war, they will bomb the hell out of each other's industries. So if they are willing to risk that when they go to war, why would the loss of mutual trade be enough of a threat to avert war? I don't see how the cost is increased between a bombed out factory that used to trade with you, and a bombed out factor that traded with someone else.

Similarly in wars, nations embargo each other and sink each other's shipping, so again not sure why loss of mutual trade makes the cost of war unacceptable, if this higher cost is already acceptable?

This reminds me of the Olympic games that were founded at the end of the 19th C in order to promote peace among nations. The theory was that if nations could compete on the field, they wouldn't compete in war. I think that theory turned out to be as robust as the trade-makes-peace theory, which itself did not fare well in WW1.

At the same time, the EU has created an enormous amount of resentment and animosity between nations, as Italy and Greece are forced to adopt the same currency as Germany, which hurts their economies but subsidizes the German economy. The Germans, in turn, feel resentful for bailing out the South (by buying up so many assets in the South), apparently not realizing that purchasing all these assets is what allows the trade imbalances to continue. If anything we know that these types of asymmetric cross border capital flows are highly destabilizing, and do not promote peace at all.

My guess is what keeps Europe from going to war is that it remains under the US sphere of influence, at least militarily, and so the irritations and rivalries created by the EU do not spill out into war. Basically the domestic populations hate each other much more, but the states themselves are too crippled to act with much autonomy, and so they don't really have the agency to even start a war. They are just left seething, as their capital stock is sold off to their neighbors, but there is nothing they can do about it. This will not end well.
Rather than focus on the non deterministic random sampling, frame it as a programming language or library for manipulating and fitting statistical distributions.

An HTTP library is good for making web calls. A probabilistic program is good for estimating probabilities.

One example would be polling. You could write down a program that estimates votes from political polls. Then feed it polling data and get estimates of how people will vote.
Petersen is well thought of and his analysis and suggestions were copied by other industry types, for example Sal Mercogliano [1]. It also happened very soon after Petersen's suggestion.

The Chernobyl disaster root cause is difficult to assess (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster#Safety_test ), however given the sheer amount of active nuclear reactors in USSR at the time one may consider that this country wasn't completely inadequate. The USSR wasn't in great shape at the time but Chernobyl added to the mess (Gorbachev famously declared "The nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl 20 years ago this month, even more than my launch of perestroika, was perhaps the real cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union" ): the pre-Chernobyl era wasn't as chaotic, this disaster suddenly broke many things.

As for the safety hydro and wind are clear winers (solar coming next, nuclear following):

I realize it's an aside from the point you're making, but the red flag for me is that a prediction without a timeline is meaningless. If someone says "the market will crash," and doesn't tell you when, then it's not a prediction.
I don’t think he said anything new at all. Talking about bitcoin when it hovers around all time high, especially for a personality like NT is a sure way to call for attention. But the message is not something that hasn’t been told hundreds of times
> would then entitle you to sit for the bar in the United States.

Note that there is not one set of requirements to “sit for the bar exam in the United States”; each separate jurisdiction in the US has its own bar exam requirements, which typically include more than just what law school you go to.

Buttigieg should have been on that boat. But, as has become a custom lately, he's MIA, just like VP is MIA at the border. Not the worst outcome though - he could also be actively harmful like, say, Mayorkas.
> "perfectly capable of judging when something is "done""

The actual statistics don't bear this out. Many projects fail because they never get started or take far too long. It's so incredibly common that every business 101 includes the saying that "perfect is the enemy of good", and even HN states that product velocity and iteration is directly related to startup success.

Also it's rather extreme to call this demeaning. Perhaps you should look at it from a different perspective of it being a fair question based on massive collective experience and encouragement to find success.
So many logical fallacies ...

> the majority of society has decided the vaccines are a very safe

"the majority of society" aren't doctors.

Also, over 60,000 epidemiologists disagree with both Fauci and forced vaccinations as a public health policy.

> If you disagree, you need to try to convince us why we are wrong.

No, actually I don't have to do anything.

> I personally have found arguments against the vaccine and incentives to get it to be uncompelling and often deeply flawed.

mRNA vaccines were just FDA-approved this summer and have no long-term record to declare them safe, and mRNA appears to alter cells, unlike older vaccines. Acquired immunity from prior infections is stronger than the vaccines, yet there's no exemption for that.

(For those unaware of genetics, DNA <=> RNA, mRNA. So what the hell is being injected into billions of people?)

Ugh. That website makes me so anxious for some reason.

It taps into so many things I despise about suburban US architecture and design.

Having said that, it also taps into this kind of elitism about architecture and interior design that drives me crazy equally so. Let's say you buy that home because it's in a good location or whatever it is. Are you cursed unless you tear out everything and remodel? Is that functional? Will some of this stuff be looked at 100 years from now unironically as great design, in the same way we look back at art deco or early, pre-depression 1930s design?

Some of this stuff too is somewhat unfair. Drop ceiling tile, for example, is extremely functional in lower levels because it gives you access to pipes etc without having to patch drywall. Maybe this isn't aesthetically "clean" but it serves a purpose.
Absolutely. I'll milk that impact for all it's worth. Too bad I'll be too busy evaporating myself to cash in on it but for a very short while I'll be the richest man on Earth ;)

And I'll re-invest my riches into start-ups that aim to deal with very fast climate change.

I didn't make the comparison because of its age, but because it's a version of Windows that came before 10, and I forgot Windows 8 even existed. Fill in Windows 8 or 8.1 or whatever for Windows 7.

IMO, your average desktop user's use case isn't served well by an LTS if they plan on using relatively recent hardware, peripherals or software. LTS desktop releases suit Canonical's corporate customers' needs well, though, which is why they were released in the first place. A distribution that uses up-to-date software suits most use cases.

Bluetooth headphone support is something that bit me in the past, as well, but it's an issue that was solved with PipeWire. Ubuntu 20.04 still uses PulseAudio.

Bitcoin has become something people want to happen. It is being propped up by belief. In many ways it is fake it until you make it. And it may well make it eventually.

This is similar to tether. Tether has been fraudulent in its claims but it also is growing and can outgrow its fraud so that it becomes mature and fully backed. Again a fake it until you make it.

Basically belief and patience on the part of the holders is allowing bitcoin and tether time to become real. Paradoxical to a degree but this is what is happening.

People are right it has no intrinsic value or tether is a fraud but over time if they are allowed to grow they can outgrown this. So everyone is right.

As long as the government doesn’t outlaw crypto here in the us. This is the main way it dies I think. Given the us gov tends to be beholden to special interest and bitcoin is a rich special interest I think it has at least a chance of survival.
...That's where you're wrong. I've been asked by my aunt to narc on the activity of their little girl whose computer I set up. This is disturbingly common to the point I consider it a public service to help kids find some private space to experiment and express themselves to help figure out who they are.

Amazingly, this makes you the first person kids who know you won't make a big deal of things reach out to.
I’d say that the first premise is objectively false. I think it’s much simpler. The volatility of asset has correlated narratives of hope and fear in the mind of the asset holder. These in turn produce a dopamine response, akin to mechanisms of a gambling addiction
That not withstanding, copyright applies only to that which is copyrightable. One may not express rights they do not have.

And the gravamen of those requirements is to have a law degree from an ABA-approved law school. Some states (e.g., California) do not have that requirement. All states I'm aware of also have a character and fitness requirement. But it is nevertheless the case that the biggest hurdle for the vast majority of people, before they can take the bar exam, is having a law degree from an ABA-accredited law school.

Which is why the link you provided highlights only those two requirements...

Common Lisp certainly gives you the tools to make an unmaintainable rat's nest out of your application, but it also gives you the tools not to. I expect there's survivorship bias here.

More generally what you're referring to as elitism is really just the result of a simple theorem. As the size of the set of Xlang programmers approaches the size of the set of all programmers, the average competence of an Xlang programmer approaches the average competence of all programmers. The asymmetry is that, as far as I'm aware, there aren't really any significant languages that attract small communities of abnormally incompetent programmers. On the other hand, there are languages, like Haskell, the MLs, and some Lisps, that do attract relatively small communities of abnormally competent programmers.

None of this is to say that someone that only writes JavaScript can't be an exceptionally competent programmer. We're talking about group averages here.
Ironic that you would call someone an IYI, yet think that going short is the mirror image of going long. Anyone who has been practicing trading/investing in any form for long enough will tell you that this is very far from the truth (take Buffett as a classic example).

When you go long and you're right you'll eventually win. When you go short and you're right you're actually somewhat likely to lose, still. Best example is all forms of systematic, no-matter-what volatility shorting.

If you can't see the implication that Roosevelt "et. al."[sic] actions were hence, not communism, then perhaps you should wonder who is being dense here.

I wouldn't say it's weird -- it seems like you understood what he was saying and he misspoke. Clearly he was trying to indicate that he believed that something negative was increasing. While I agree this isn't what a negative feedback loop is, I can see how saying this is a positive feedback loop of slowdowns (an undesirable negative effect) might feel like the wrong thing to say.
> Why isn’t the solution to put empty containers back on unloaded ships to be sent away?

IIRC, stacks of empty containers (large surface area and low mass) act as, in effect, giant crosswise sails, which is a dangerous thing on a ship, so you can’t safely stack as many empty containers as optimally weighted containers on a ship (too full, and you end up with issues with strength of ship deck and containers at the bottom of the stack, so maximally loaded containers aren’t optimal either.)

> Another relevant factor is that the older technology used on the IBM keyboard's controller PCB requires more power to operate than newer keyboards.

I ran into this problem with my original Model M. All the PS/2 to USB converters I bought (even the blue square one quoted in the article as working) were borderline and they would sooner or later lock up and require a reboot (you really shouldn't hot-plug a PS/2 keyboard, as some machines have a fuse soldered on their board).

I have not tried any of the new keyboards sold by Unicomp (I had one in the past), but I see their newest version of the Model M has a USB interface and presumably it's reliable.
