I thought dai would continuously be bought and used to liquidate positions as the price drops.

I.e. if someone mints 100 dai with 150 worth of ETH and the price of ETH drops then anyone can acquire dai and use that dai to access the collateral.

Through that mechanism the supply of dai should contract not the spot price. The bigger worry is that they allow minting Dai from USDC which could freeze their assets
Unfortunately some people may have gotten into the habit of hovering their foot over the accelerator to be ready to override phantom braking, so maybe some even rest their foot on the pedal without realizing.

Fortunately, removal of radar will reduce the frequency of phantom braking, so hopefully this habit will fade.

Generally when papers like this come out, there are a couple of decades' history behind them.

(Disclaimer: I'm an experimental physicist, but don't have domain knowledge in the subtleties of modern accelerator-cavity design, which is both an art and a science. Most modern accelerators, including LHC, are driven with superconducting niobium cavities.)

Since essentially every author is at SLAC, I suspect that there is a strong cold-copper research group there.

Can anyone with domain-knowledge summarize the generally-accepted strengths/weaknesses/risks of cold-copper accelerator designs?
> Allowing children to safely engage in digital socialization is probably better than nothing.

This is debatable. It could actually be worse, but I am not too well-informed on this. Of course socialization is good, and one would think that it is better to have it digitally than to not have it at all; I would think so, too, but this may not be true, or at least not in a longer-term. I think we should allow kids to be kids and do the socializing in real life, ideally without masks so they could learn to pick up emotional cues from facial expressions and so forth. This plays a pretty important role in the children's development. I wonder what kind of effects those restrictions have had on "some" of these children. For what it is worth, I am not speaking out against the restrictions, but its effects on both children and adults make me curious.

Or as alluded to in the article, it's a civil matter, maybe you can sue solicitors involved, or the Land Registry.
The burden of evidence is on Tesla to show their car is significantly safer in an apples-to-apples comparison. They haven't done that so far.

And this is actually quite intriguing: even if Tesla was 10x safer, it would be extremely difficult for them to prove it. Because they'd have to do a multi-year feature freeze on Autopilot etc. while collecting data.

See in total, Tesla has sold around 2 million cars. Comparable cars have a fatal accident rate of around 10 per 1 million vehicle years. So the target for Tesla with the current number of cars is to have less than 2 fatalities per year, on average. To show with statistical significance that you have achieved that, you would need data for around 5 years without doing any changes. Maybe only 3 or 4 years given that the number of Tesla's keeps increasing, but still.

Really, it's only when you're doing 10 million cars per year, like Volkswagen or Toyota, that you can make statistically meaningful statements about safety while also updating your car's software frequently.
A fatal blind spot?
I'm suprised to hear this since that's how I've been using my laptop (XPS running linux) with multiple monitors for the past 3ish years. I had issues with one monitor though, but I strongly suspect that is just a lemon since the same cable/computer combo works fine with other monitors of the same model and manufacturing year.

I expect to be able to use one cable for display, power and peripherals these days.

Sure and I agree the USD at the moment has an incredible backing. Also it being the reserve currency and base for most other currencies and commodities is no small thing.

You could argue that BTC is backed by one of the most powerful networks of computing power on the planet. I don't think that's better than what the USD has, but it isn't 'Nothing'. The fact it can't be debased as easily as fiat currencies is not a tangible thing but it does compel interest in it.

> I believe you interpreted NPR's article exactly the way NPR intended you to interpret it. That is to say, you were supposed to read it and walk away misinformed due to the framing.

What you quoted "It is important to note that the university did not deny the First Amendment rights or academic freedom of professors..." comes from University of Florida and as far as I can tell is not an airtight argument. No valid conflict of interest is presented in the article for for example.

If typically has allowed such outside work, if there was not a conflict on a governmental issue, then the University of Florida as a governmental institution is performing 'self dealing', in this case by putting their thumb on the scale of public discourse, by limiting/restricting the speech of the professors.

Part of why we have the first amendment is to limit the ability of the government to effect the course of public discourse and the University of Florida is definitely doing that.

Can you share some more about your learnings? I'm familiar with EAV as a concept but not the performance implications of EAV vs jsonb. Googling "mapped generic columns" didn't turn up anything that seemed relevant, and I'm curious what you mean specifically by "array values" as a solution in this space.
I assume its suicidal for one company to make their product less sugary when kids want the calorie bomb tastier ones. This decision made the playground equal.
The problem here is Tesla does not make the claim that the car is autonomous, in fact they clearly state otherwise, nor it is legal for any driver to operate the car like it was autonomous

To continue your analogy Chainsaw manufacturers include clear instructions, and directions to use safety PPE.. if a operator of the chainsaw fails to follow the instructions, or where the PPE and chops their leg off the manufacturer is not liable.. Hell even if they did follow the instructions and chop their leg off it would be unlikely the manufacturer would be liable.
Are you assuming the tree is not read-only?
I think that's the problem, they've been allowed to legalese away all liability. There would have to be an OTA update so bug ridden that it caused multiple accidents in short order and with major carnage. In that instance, someone might notice the "trend" or public outcry would become loud enough.

The UK doesn't have a national ID system. It's not clear how such a system would help in this situation - if the fraudster managed to get a driving license, why would they have a problem getting an ID card.
There are several cameras for redundancy. The car also doesn't need crystal clear vision to drive. What may seem like a blurry image to human eye with simple filtering can become much more visible. It also doesn't need to see details, but rather needs to detect if there are any objects in the way or where the lane markings are.

We already see some of this. I like the admission that there is no magic happening with GSP but I don't think FPA will work for most cases:

1) GSP doesn't promise any specific price. FPA promises "the price you bid." If that's not what people are paying by simple math, it will be confusing. That hurts trust. This could happen if you have a user quality control system that penalizes poor quality. GSP gives you a second control (price) in combination with delivery volume and placement to manage user experience.

2) People expect GSP. Claiming FPA is an admission that you need to build an autobidder system versus letting people discover this for themselves.

> It's done to help their user acquisition. It uploads your contacts to match against other contact lists and let you know who's on Signal.

I may be wrong, but I think this functionality existed prior to the server-side state effort. I recall when people in my contact list joined Signal, I was notified.

However, these days I do not keep contacts in the phone contact list. It's too big and juicy a target.

Very much so. That does seem odd.

Cattle is not treated like chickens. Beef cattle in the U.S. generally grazes on pastureland - most U.S. beef is already "free range", whereas dairy cows are mostly raised indoors. Only 10% of U.S. cattle are dairy cows.

Many cows go to fattening up centers before they are slaughtered, but the cattle don't spend their lives in them. In these centers many are fed corn -- so-called "grain finished" non-organic beef. This is the main difference between the feelgood beef and normal beef. The U.S. has ~120M acres devoted to pasture for ~80 million heads of cattle, about 1.5 acres per animal. This is land not fit for farming, so rather than saying we set aside 77% of global "farm" land for cattle, it's more accurate to say that without cattle converting grass to protein, 77% of the land devoted to food production would be abandoned. Of course you can argue it should be a wilderness -- millions of buffalo roamed on that grassland in the past.

There are an additional 10 million dairy cows living in conditions ranging from nice farm animals to horrific factory lots.

Saying that cattle is a "leading cause" of deforestation is misleading. Cattle graze on low productive land, usually more arid plains like in the Western U.S. (what was once called the Great American desert). You do not see large herds of cows wandering on farmland. You do see lots of cattle in the dry plains of Argentina.

What you mean is that a primary source of deforestation in the Amazon rain forest is the practice of slash and burn agriculture, which consists of setting fires that nourish the soil in lieu of fertilizer. This productive soil lasts about 18 months and then you need to set fire to more forest. Slash and burn was a pre-industrial farming technique widely practiced by Amazonian natives, but does not scale well in industrial application. Better to spend money on fertilizer and leave the rainforest alone.

It's true that after the 18 months (or so), the land is not productive farmland anymore but is still suitable for cattle. However you might as well say that the growing of vegetables is a leading cause of deforestation, since the would-be farmers are after the wood from the forest as well as the ~1.5 years of cash crops before the ground is only fit for cattle. Pastureland is not a good money maker, requiring so much land per animal. The rents obtained in this way are minimal.

Correct, OP seems to be referring to single-collateral DAI aka SAI, which is deprecated. The current DAI is backed by a basket of assets.

IMO, the basket is too heavily weighted towards centralized stablecoins like USDC. I rotated some of my MKR holdings to Terra/Luna, which may have a better peg mechanism (although it is similar to Titan, which exploded).
> It's a known and disclosed and accepted risk of these systems.

Accepted by who? As another driver getting rear-ended by these vehicles, I didn't agree to that. It's just a way for them to shift liability to the driver for what they know is going to happen.

This technology shouldn't be allowed on the road unless it could detect and avoid impact with parked cars. This should be price of admission for the technology.
https://tesla.com/autopilot

In the video there it says:

"THE PERSON IN THE SEAT IS ONLY THERE FOR LEGAL REASONS.

HE IS NOT DOING ANYTHING. THE CAR IS DRIVING ITSELF."

Total lie unless they are psycopaths and would be willing to run it with no one in the seat if not for legal reasons. In other words unless they were willing to murder if murder were legal--the video is from 2018 or maybe even earlier, where we know they were nowhere near ready for driverless.
Which says something about the conditions in which they are kept.
I have long said that society has become such risk adverse that if someone invented a technology like the car today it would never be allowed in society.

I said this pre-COVID, and COVID has now cemented this idea, we will not accept any level of risk at all... None.

If it is not perfectly safe everything should be banned, locked down, or otherwise prohibited by law
Easier? It would become borderline impossible. How exactly do you steal the seed for a hardware wallet? How do you even know where it's stored?
Podaris | London, UK / REMOTE | Full time | https://www.podaris.com/

Podaris is changing the way the world plans its cities. Our aim is to bring together all stakeholders in the urban development process -- planners, engineers, transport technology vendors, public interest groups, property developers, and more -- in a shared modelling environment, where ideas can be iterated more rapidly, accurately, and transparently. We have created an web-based collaborative modelling tool which incorporates aspects of GIS, BIM, transport simulation, and more. It is already being used by customers around the world.

We're a small and friendly (but extremely driven) team, and have been working remotely since before the pandemic. Come join us!

Contact: jobs@podaris.com

----------

Role: Full-stack engineer

Job Description: We’re looking for a full-stack engineer to join our growing team. You'll be able to make a big impact, joining a small but very enthusiastic team. For this role, you'll primarily focus on mathematical problems: computational geometry, parametric constraint solvers, network routing optimisation, etc -- problems that come up in the course of modeling physical transport infrastructure, as well as transport network simulation and analysis. However you should be enough of a generalist to be unafraid to dive into other areas of the application where needed.

Technology-wise, Podaris is built on Javascript/ES6, Meteor.js, OpenStreetMap, and OpenLayers, a mapping library. Your expertise with Javascript is more important to us than your experience with the particular libraries that we use. Experience with building large single-page apps is particularly helpful. Experience with OSM routing engines, transit data formats like GTFS, and GIS tools/databases is also a strong plus.

----------

Role: Customer Success Associate

Job Description: You will learn the Podaris platform to a very high level, then assist in training new customers and supporting existing customers in their projects. You have an innate aptitude for self-learning new and unfamiliar software, and have excellent verbal and written communication skills, which make you adept at teaching people who don't have such an innate aptitude. You have an interest in all aspects and disciplines involved in creating transport systems and the built environment. You're especially knowledgeable with regards to transport planning and operations, but find it easy to talk to urban planners, architects, civil engineers, and more. You've at least dabbled in many different kinds of design/planning/engineering tools, and have some experience with GIS in particular.

When not directly assisting our customers, your responsibilities will include beta-testing new functionality, improving documentation and training materials, and creating case studies that can be used for sales & marketing purposes.
