I want to clearify again: I am not into crypto currencies.

> I would disagree with your analogy: you buy a stock because it gives you a claim to the profits of the underlying company. Even if it became impossible to find a buyer for the stock you own, so long as they pay dividend, you still have something of value. And the company has tangible assets (factories, offices) and intangible (patents, the skills of its employees, brand) that allow it to produce things of general value.

What is general value? Those dividends are based on selling products and services. As I tried to explain: There are companies, which are about putting names on things. People seem to find value in that. With Bitcoin you are controlling part of a list. I do not think that is very valuable, but OPs arguments can be applied to everything.

> Same applies to houses (they provide shelter) or gold (industrial applications or jewelry). Speculative value is only one part of their value.

If gold was about the industrial applications, its price would be way lower. It is really mostly about people thinking it has value. And with houses: Yop, we generally think these have value. But a house in London has way more value than a house in Sibiria. Just as Bitcoin has way more value than if I would start my own distributed list and sell entries.

> You can't build anything with a Bitcoin

As I said, just an abstraction. If something is valuable, because you can build something valuable with it, you have to follow the path. You will end up at some human desire or just simple believe in value. I don't get many of those desires, so how do I know being part of a blockchain isn't also one of them?

As I said, I doubt it. I am just making a technical argument, that the authors analogies can be applied to everything.
The very concept of the DAG makes it impossible to represent this situation. Am I overlooking something?

On branch B, we have this chain: [x]-->[y]-->[z]

And because x is a parent of y, if we record y as merged, then we also record x as merged. But the change wasn't in fact merged.

In order for the DAG to represent this correctly, we need a commit y' that doesn't have x as a parent. Then y' can be merged.

I don't believe that git tracks such relationships between commits y and y'.
The CEOs job is not to focus on the share price. It's to focus on the business being profitable and successful. The resulting share price is a side effect, not a goal.

Having a high share price is a secondary indicator of expected revenue, growth, and profit.

Giving CEOs equity is exactly the wrong sort of incentive, because it provides opportunities of massaging the expected long term results to achieve short term price variations in the favor of the CEO.

We use a modified (by the author) jemalloc in a heavily threaded server that runs on Centos.

The reason was due to memory fragmentation over time and jemalloc reduced this to a level that we could live with.

We’ve tried other allocators over the years but still jemalloc, or our version of to be precise, is the winner in memory usage and fragmentation.

Edit: performance wise, gains can be had by doing your own memory pools on a per-thread basis and making use of stack objects rather than heap objects. Larger allocations for your own object pools and managing those reduces the calls to malloc also helps reduce memory fragmentation and your vmsize diverging from your rss.
If it gets to a nuclear exchange, the US will really go down in flames. (As will everybody.)

So I don't believe that nukes will be used. Just as poison-gas wasn't used in WW2.

That means we need to look at what happens in a non-nuclear conventional war. Once again, that comes back ultimately to "God is on the side of the big battalions", as Rommel is supposed to have said. That means the nations with the most men, and the most weapons.
Especially when they are not involved.

Literally everyone on Earth is involved because crypto mining is massively bad for the environment.

That's not all down to crypto, but it is a significant contributing factor.

This is the nonsense that the CEO "union" of cross shareholding and executives serving on other boards leads to.

The CEO sets the overall business strategy with the advice of the board. They then have to delegate that strategy to their subordinates for the different activities necessary.

I’ve switched out meat for plant-based substitutes for most meals in a week. My reasoning is that a great deal of my mid-week cooking is lazily constructed and only making use of meat by tradition rather than the meat being treated with enough care to add something essential to the flavour - katsu curries, beef stir fries, creamy pasta dishes. Good enough texture and possibly topping up “meatiness” in sauces using stock and flavour enhancers make plant-based alternatives more than adequate replacements for a Tuesday night.

I then reserve meat for evenings where I am going to take the time (or am at a restaurant where others have taken the time) to prepare it with respect for flavour, texture.

Admittedly I won’t win over a BBQ-every-day crowd with that approach! But, I fear that all good sense will go out of the window on the new possibilities opened by this research once it is converted to another notch on the left/right “identity” battle. As so often, we will lose the nuance of which meals could be meat-free and remain tasty and devolve to shouting names between the planet-murderers and the science-lab-creeps. Progress!

"... and for any suspicious symptoms are directed to get a COVID test and notify them so they can follow up on results"

So the answer is no then, they're not testing 100% of people. I don't know why you'd equate this as "a pretty good job" - it's not scientifically rigorous at all; much like how myocarditis signal in young men/boys only showed up between 1:3000 and 1:5000 but the most recent studies of even younger children only included 2000 participants, only 1200 of which receive the vaccine - so nowhere near enough participants included to catch important signals; and that's just for the "adverse" event of myocarditis.

And testing for antibodies produced by the vaccines and/or by natural COVID infection? I'd presume there's be a way antibody markers that can be checked for both - but something I'm also unsure of.

For people interested in fat loss, the relevant benefit of strength training is that it provides a signal to your body to hold on to as much muscle as possible. (Usually in conjunction with eating sufficient amounts of protein during your fat loss phase.)

Without strength training, you're as likely to lose muscle as you are to lose fat. (E.g., lose a pound per week on the scale and 50% may be fat tissue and 50% may be muscle tissue.)

With strength training, the ratio skews towards losing mostly or even entirely fat without losing muscle while having the same rate of weight loss all things being equal. (E.g., lose a pound per week on the scale and 90% may be fat tissue and 10% may be muscle, or 100% fat and 0% muscle.)

For people sufficiently new to strength training or for people who are sufficiently overfat, it's even possible to build new muscle tissue while losing fat, though this gets less and less likely the more advanced you get and the leaner you get. (E.g., lose a pound per week on the scale and 1.25 lbs of fat might be lost while 0.25 pounds of muscle might be gained.)

CEO compensation and company performance are not correlated, there's an abundance of studies about that available. If we accept the axiom that their compensation is based on rational decisions of market participatents, what do they decide CEO compensation on, if not company performance?

Can't we describe the reality better if we accept that the "labor market" as an analogy to e.g. a potato market or washing machine market is a faulty model?
Yes, what you're saying is absolutely true for hardware. I guess I'm referring to the software that's written to take advantage of each platform. It always tends toward bloat, so no matter how much faster the platform is, pretty soon there are apps in the wild that push its limits. And often, these apps could be written in more efficient ways, but the existence of the extra power justifies coding further and further from low level languages. That's all I meant.
> However, if companies have working hours, why couldn't websites? What a funny thought.

Because of day/night cycle these working hours would usually overlap. This would put people who can’t afford to do their administrative business on the internet during work hours at a disadvantage.
The principle of free speech does explicitly exclude repercussions. You can of course draw you conclusions and you are not forced to associate with anybody.

But the nature of the internet that potentially connects anyone to everyone else will have such cases, even just by cultural differences.

To believe you can have the same basis in every interpersonal interchange is naive. If that is hard for you, you can trivially easily withdraw from any discussion.

> In the past accountability seemed like a major factor.

The past status quo isn't desirable. You do not have to expose yourself to anything if you do not want to. But many people do not want to get back to that.

I do not like to associate with people that seems to be fond of prosecuting others for trifles. Yet I will make sure they are able to state their opinions.

Core pinning exists but it requires the administator to manually assign processes to specific cores. Core scheduling lets you group trusted processes together and then the OS can figure out which cores can run which processes dynamically. Also, core scheduling does not permit userspace attackers to "game the system" and target a specific core they want to attack.

The 2020 covid recession started in q3 19 - markets were being propped up with extra liquidity, rate hikes by the fed were abandoned earlier in the year and they had started cutting rates again. If you are cutting interest rates that is not a healthy economy, and a late 2019 / 2020 downturn was pretty widely predicted before covid existed.

Without covid, and the truly massive global stimulus that was pumped in, we may have seen just as much downside in stocks without the rapid rebound and valuations half what they are now.

Indeed. And while I get your point that it's often more than 40 hours, the reality is also that an 80 hour work week (PhD + job) doesn't work for the vast majority of people. There are people for which it works, but chances are -- statistically -- that you, the reader, are not one of those. So a PhD being a full-time job, even if that means "just" 40 hours, is indeed a reason why full-time job + PhD does not work in practice for most people.
So you take the 0.01% of all university students, that are accepted into a PhD program, and then take the 0.01% of that ?

So 0.0001% of all university students, and then... work three times as hard as them ?

Working harder gets exponentially harder the harder you work. So... 0.0000000000001% of all students then ?

And now, in your application form for a PhD program, you want to convince an employer that they should hire you because you think in you are in that bracket, without any proof that backs it up, even though if for some reason you are not, things catastrophically fail for your employer ?

Yeah good luck with that.

> despite Haskell being ~31 years old.

Tbf I think things are worse now than a few years ago because of the explosion of new Haskell code, plus the resulting several somewhat conflicting re-imaginings of the tooling to deal the increased complexity of juggling the now-huge code corpus. Stack, the original cabal, the current different cabal, Haskell Platform, etc. I like to think the vigorous activity in this area is not entirely unhealthy, since it is about identifying and attacking real problems. But, for those of us not in the middle of it and just want something that works, it is somewhat painful.

Tome, I can write up some issues and email them to you, but basically we need a better out-of-box experience. "stack ghci" takes so long to start up on an HDD server (tons of stuff getting paged in) that I keep thinking it has simply hung, while the old ghci was nowhere near that slow. Emacs Haskell mode goes into some crazy error loop if you try to use a ghci subprocess window (that used to work great). Haskell Platform (a blessed set of packages, more or less) was a good idea in principle but I think it became unmanageable and stopped being maintained.

I haven't done anything with Haskell in a while and this kind of thing is the main obstacle. Command-line ghc (ok, stack ghc) still works so it is still possible to compile stuff less conveniently when required. Mostly though, I just use other languages. If I were using Haskell for daily work then I could probably reach some reasonable tooling setup with enough effort, but as an occasional user it just hasn't been worth it.

They do all of that as well, of course. The problem is that when it does happen (and statistically, it will, somewhere, at some point) there's a chance you don't hear the alarm (very common - just this morning there was a newspaper story about someone who were saved by the neighbours, they didn't wake up right away even with all the alarms blaring. What the alarms did though was to alert the fire department, as per their setup).

In short - if there's a fire it's much better that you're awake and up already.
