I want to preface this by saying I don't own crypto and I think its often full of scams (eg. squid coin). But it has some real potential and isn't always as bad as it seems.

Tether is a real risk, I agree.

> Everything real has been exfiltrated through electricity bills, taxes and early adopters selling, the entire crypto economy is a hollow shell, leveraged on retail deposits.

Yeah, but that's not untrue for banks. Conceptually, a bank's job is to store money for depositors. That has a real cost, so theoretically you should have to pay for banking service. We know that banks make that money back from lending the money with interest (profiting off interest). This lending behavior is theoretically possible for individuals to do while skipping banks, but it is not practical at scale. So, basically depositors "pay" with opportunity cost - and since the world fiat currencies have inflation, this is essentially paying the devalued difference of money.

Crypto is similar... it costs real money to maintain the deposits - aka POW to secure the ledger. Instead of lenders' interest paying the cost, it is paid by deflation by depositor by more currency being circulated. Not too different than fiat-at-banks.

Crypto also is potentially more egalitarian since anyone can mine (at a small scale at least) to potentially make some small income, and certain complex financial actions can be done for "free-ish" in contracts (conditional swaps/lending, escrow, multi-sig transactions).
It's illegal for certain types of non-profit organizations to advocate for a particular candidate, but it's not illegal for them to "get out the vote" to particular demographics and locations that tend to vote a particular way.

As of March 2019 [1] this vetting was not going very well in the UK. Only one piece of Huawei firmware was even able to achieve "binary equivalence" where the agency could determine that verified source was actually the source for specific firmware running on the device.

U.K. privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch warned that the bill would induce social media platforms to “over-remove” content, according to Olson.

Olson gave an example of content potentially targeted by the law, saying that Ofcom would know if women in a certain area in Britain were likely to consume alleged “Covid misinformation” online. Ofcom could then warn social media companies of penalties if the trend were not altered, according to Olson. The proposed law would also reportedly require social media companies to perform “regular risk assessments” and take action on alleged harmful or illegal content.
> often taking the form of excessively literal readings that become weirdly and unhelpfully adversarial while failing to engage what the text was actually expressing

I see you, too, have seen people not understanding that Humbert Humbert is not supposed to be liked, and that the whole book is him trying to justify his actions. God, the number of people who misunderstand Lolita because they can't accept anything about it except at face value is way too high.

> I have a suspicion that readers who are that bad are not, in fact, extremely common, but are just, for whatever reason, unusually likely to engage in Web discussions

Sadly, bad readers are that common. I taught at a high school, and even some of the other teachers were bad readers, and most the students couldn't get anything but a very literal interpretation out of any text they read.
This does happen, but maybe not in all cases. I've had it happen where lane change is no longer supported (and you get a notification) because the sun is blinding one of the pillar cameras.
Has Tesla ever said anything like: the “auto” in this case means “automobile” and not “automatic”?

But yeah, they shouldn’t call it that.
The husk on the outside of the walnut contains most of the jugalone. That's the green-to-black part on the outside of the fruit. If you've bought whole walnuts (dry, brown, wrinkly), but never seen them in the wild, you've never seen this part.

The horses and pigs get sick because they only eat the husk, they can't crack the shell to get at the nutritious part.

The meat inside of the shell is safe.

I think its very clear by now that if it were that simple it would have already happened.

And yes, the fact you can't cash out directly shows that it is a scam, yet counterparties are willing to continue to do business with them. That again suggests that the mechanism isn't that simplistic.

And I don't doubt that Tether will collapse very quickly, but I don't think Tether is the det cord that sets off the collapse. Tether is the ricketty-ass foundation that causes the entire building to slide over and take out multiple downtown city blocks of collateral damage. The det cord is going to simply be a bubble followed by a panic collapse in the price. The blasting charges that then go off will be a bunch of major exchanges and counterparties to Tether going under. Then Tether implodes as a mechanism for the contagion to spread and wipe out pretty much everyone else.
>But now, minecraft also has a functor F:(openM)→E, where E is the category of entities, which has as objects just sets of entities and as morphisms the surjective maps

> It lists all

It lists 14 deaths for 2020, when around 500 would be expected. The note at the top clears up that it's not all deaths of US citizen deaths in Japan, so may not include Near's death depending on how it was classified.

It also only includes 1 suicide in 2020 when around 8 would be expected. The numbers are too small to say for certain, but I'd question whether it's comprehensive even for deaths classified as suicide.

> He or the Twitter account supposedly posted the passport to confirm he was a citizen at the time, but that's just what I heard.

I've searched and all I can find are people complaining that a passport was not posted (as proof of death).
The paper describes a design for a linear accelerator that would reach 250GeV in center of mass frame and that may be extended to 550GeV (see section 2) and even multi-TeV (see section 5).

I was curious how this compares against LHC which Wikipedia [1] says reached record 13TeV total collision energy. However, it isn't clear whether Wikipedia cites energy in center of mass frame that could be directly compared.

Does anyone know how the two accelerators would compare in this respect? In particular, would the proposed C³ accelerator actually achieve higher total collision energy than LHC or is it instead hoped that future extensions of a C³ accelerator would exceed LHC's capabilities?

When you stop using signal, you can log in to the signal website and say "I'm no longer using Signal"; that will solve the problem with your Signal-using contacts. I just checked and it looks life you have to deregister your account from within the Signal app (ie, can't uninstall first). I'm pretty sure it used to be more lenient: I remember friends being able to deregister their numbers after the fact.
I bought a kindle years ago and love the convenience and compactness of having all of my reading material on that little device.

Now I have two young children, and I've gradually started to build up a collection of physical books at home - not just children's books, but books for myself as well. I realized at some point that:

* I want them to know (I would even say "take for granted") that we value reading

* I want them to have easy access to lots of good books at or slightly above their current reading/maturity level

* I want them to see the sort of things their parents are interested in (they rarely see me reading for pleasure, even though it's one of my favorite things to do, because I mostly do that when they're asleep).

There is definitely an intentional signalling component to this, but it's not about signalling to the outside world for status, it's about signalling to our kids/each other about the kinds of things that we value.

In addition:

> Physical books were such a massive part of my childhood that the experience of reading one conjures up decades of positive memories and emotions

My hope is that we can create an environment for them that is conducive to exactly this sort of experience.

As for the third point: when I was a kid I stumbled upon a collection of books at my grandmother's house, mostly sci-fi (Dune, Asimov, some Vonnegut), that my Dad had read when he was young. It introduced me to a whole world of literature that would become very important to me, and also gave me a glimpse into a side of his personality that I wasn't aware of.

Why do you think Apple pushes ipads for education?
Is there a reason, when they have control of the client software and the protocol, that they don't introduce computational cost to establishing contact?
Like, if I send a message to a particular number, and their client receives a message from me for the first time, it responds with "prove that it's worth it for you to message me: find an `n` character string that together with `random string` hashes to 5 leading zeroes", or something like that.
Somehow I imagine that doing a few seconds of computation per initiated first message is unproblematic, but doing it for thousands or millions of numbers starts to be a problem.

Why is this not done?
Pretty dystopic

How do you determine who the "likely audience" is? Can someone or groups you don't know be the audience?

If that would keep you up at night, then given all the actual dangers in the world you have never slept.
But who do you trust more?

I prefer a revolving door of elected leaders more than a false democracy. It's more the non-transient "state" that worries me how we get to elect our representatives, but many of their staff are in practice there across many terms influencing the direction of the country across their career[1].

I prefer countries with a better track record on human rights and freedoms than the CPC.

>I think that some of us would argue that these are not "reasonable traffic participants"

You're basically arguing that almost everyone else is unreasonable. That's going to be a very uphill argument.

Also there's no reason to hide behind "I think that some of us would argue". You clearly hold this opinion. Ask yourself why you have reservations about owning it.

>People who do not maintain sufficient stopping distance

Who defines "sufficient" because the consensus based on the observed behavior of typical traffic seems to be that "sufficient" is a few seconds where possible but always less than whatever the comments section on the internet thinks it should be

>American driving experience

The American driving experience is not particularly remarkable compared (except maybe in its low cost) compared to other developed nations. All of which are pretty tame compared to developing nations

I'm not asking you to like the way people drive. I'm just asking you to not assess traffic incidents based on the reality of how people drive and not the farcical assumption that most participants are following or can be expected to be following whatever rules are on paper.
The US has one of the worst road safety records of any modern industrialized country. The reason is that other agencies have actually not solved the "common reproducible" errors at all.
I saw an old dude apparently asleep behind the wheel of a tesla while on the freeway. I immediately feared for my family members’s lives, and I had to speed in order to gain distance from this fellow.
It's known. The logical fallacy is accurate re "miles driven" versus "total possible miles". Tesla's statisticians cannot possibly be unaware of this if they have anything beyond a middle school education, yet they repeatedly continue to tout this stat without so much as a footnote.

I realize that may still, to some, be "suspect", not "known", so yes, if you're asking, "Is there public or leaked internal documentation saying 'we realize these stats are misleading and don't care'", then no, there's not.
Facebook (Or Meta) Is Making Tactile Sensors for Robots
> YouTube recommends creepy, addictive, unmoderated, content

If we're comparing with Youtube, I can't help but think people aren't looking very hard. My kids' school can recommend dozens of places to get computer activities for kids. None of them are from big tech companies. There's a ton of small players in edtech, many with high quality content (I bring up prodigygame.com here from time to time, but there are others)

If you want to look specifically into communication tools for kids, the thing to be aware of is COPPA: it's an extremely restrictive regulation that governs what is allowable in apps/websites targeted at kids (e.g. something as basic as avatars are a no go, because they can expose the kid's appearance to strangers). Considering the horror stories you hear about teens and instagram, it's actually fairly understandable that the regulatory position is that kids have no business exposing themselves to online threats. Doctors also often suggest limiting screen time to no more than an hour a day. Parents letting screens babysit their kids do so against all sorts of expert advice.

People also bring up covid quarantines as a justification for more online engagement, but IMHO, this is an abnormal situation in the first place, and even then, there are various ways for kids to socialize, be it via zoom at school or just going to the nearby playground. And FWIW, I didn't have any of this fancy pants online social stuff growing up and I turned out just fine, even without a whole lot of in-person socialization either.

Is it not the case that a lot of machine learning research was done to make the data processing at LHC possible?

Well Debian isn't some BDFL's project, different authors have different visions that sometimes don't agree with each other. With dash, the original advantages put forward were minimalism, higher speed, and POSIX compliance [1]. But that was a long time ago and when systemd came, the preference for dash may have changed for many Debian authors and maybe dash is just kept in Debian as a token of the past accomplishments.

The thing that is working slightly in the background to ensure net outflows don't happen is during time of downward volatility, stablecoins is what the prudent crypto investor is transitioning into and stores his wealth until they are ready to buy again.
Recently got a new phone and the transition was super smooth. Tried to open Signal on the new phone, it somehow knew that I needed to transfer my backup, asked me to scan a QR code and keep the phones close together, a minute or so later, and done. Signal logged me out on the older device when it was finished.

I've learned this lesson before though. Always keep your old phone around while transitioning to a new device in case you need to pull anything off of it.

> reduce the global population by 3/4 with growth control.

Given that most of the world's population is under 30 years old[0], even if you could get every country in the world to simultaneously ban child birth tomorrow, the world population wouldn't even halve by 2070. (You also need to take into account global life expectancy changes that far into the future[1]).

Take your high horse and turn it into glue. I'm not attempting to normalize anything. Look outside, it's already normalized. It is the current status quo. I'm not endorsing it. I'm simply asking you to not to pretend otherwise so you can pretend to be outraged at someone who failed to avoid an accident because they were driving like typical people drive.
Don't worry, that's just the way bridley spells it.
I mean, it's probably hard for bankers to turn in their distant cousins.
So sad that the average non-Tesla driver is not as enthusiastic about latest technology as not to broadcast their driving journeys on YouTube for the rest of the world to criticize and make fun of the shady dumpster fire of a manufacturer that made their car when they get into a close call.
That's very city/state dependent. SF has a lot of tenant protections, which is probably what the parent was referring to. In a lot of SF apartments, the landlord can only evict a tenant under specific conditions, one of which is owner moving in (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellis_Act).

> Oh, you assume Tesla won't fight to the death to avoid releasing data recorder information. They will.

Last time this happened in a similar situation, the driver went to a third-party technician that was able to extract the log data, and it proved the same thing that Tesla was claiming. The driver was full-on pressing accelerator instead of the braking pedal.[0]

Raw log data is present in that link, so it isn't just another "he said one thing, they said another thing" situation. But the driver in question was indeed fighting to death claiming their innocence, even thought the initial accident was already raising eyebrows of most people familiar with autopilot.

It also helps that NHTSA has already investigated such claims before[1], so they looked into hundreds of cases that were claiming Autopilot suddenly accelerating and causing crashes. NHTSA discovered that not a single one happened due to autopilot, but due to the driver misapplying acceleration and braking pedal.

The only practical differences in the tech is that it wastes more power, has no insurance, has no fraud remediation, and has no safeguard against volatility. I guess the potential anonymity too, but that's only really a practical benefit if making an illegal transaction.

The only time I can ever see a cryptocurrency being worth it is if you do not have any central authority you can trust. If we ever get to the point where you can't trust the courts to somewhat reasonably protect your money, then I think we have worse problems. Especially since you wouldn't have any physical protection from the legal system.

Yes, it's just that they aren't directly linked with LHC - most of the time you're dealing with second/third or higher degree connection, where part of LHC required support technology that in turn required technology that often can be used in for something else. The most famous example is of course WWW, although it's fairly remote - a bit of the encouragement for building it was help CERN work better, and at the time work on LHC's design already started.

Other things are work on grid/cloud technology as well as supercomputing, computer visualisation, research on industrial automation (something I personally used for work, directly related to challenges of building and running LHC), etc. etc.
