> But why is it only used for digital assets? Why not use it to double sign a physical asset like a house? You get the paper sig and the NFT in case you lose the deed.

I would strongly guess it is because of the lack of legal infrastructure around this.

The US in particular seems to have two modes regarding blockchain: strangle it with regulation to the point of being non-viable or entirely wild west.

The big issue would presumably be legal recognition and support that NFTs are valid contracts and hold up in court. You would also need support of basically dissolving the NFT in favor of a physical deed only.

i suspect i got discarded as an entry level developer because somebody thought i was lying about some web design work done for a now-defunct web business in a tiny town. i made a website as a freelancer for the business, and the sites had vanished whenever somebody with hiring power asked to see them. he ghosted me.

in retrospect, i'm glad it didn't work out because he invited me for coffee but it was really a job interview, just unstated. talk about not being honest.

but it sucked, because later i had another "coffee" with the CTO for company who was friends with that guy. i mentioned to the CTO that i had met with his friend. later, after the meeting, he basically backtracked on the potential for working for them. i've always wondered if the two dudes talked and i got passed on because of my presumed dishonesty.

i'm doing fine without them, though. both of those dudes are pretty gate keeper-y in this small city tech scene, but i’ve made a network with some co-workers from my first job as a developer, since those are the ones who really know what’s up anyway.

I don't know about you, but my toolkit, which I'm perfecting, is programming language paradigms, design patterns, algorithms, programming language SDKs, popular libraries and frameworks, etc.

Hmm. I don't know that model, but I have bought two Dell XPS15s in the past year. One had 4K, 64G RAM, 2T SSD and 8 cores. It was $2500. The other was slightly lower spec and $2400.
I think your second point hits it and is the primary benefit to hiding the microarchitecture layer - it can be improved and existing code will benefit from it.

Basically Intel is saying if you had 200 GPRs, you couldn't do better at using the free ones than the CPU scheduler/decoder.

> Adding *architecturally visible* registers increases complexity for people writing assembly and/or compilers.

More registers just makes your code less likely to have to shuffle stuff to and back from RAM - which is where stuff will go if you don't have registers.

It's always faster for a CPU to access registers within itself than have to talk over a bus to a memory. Even when RAM was the same speed as CPUs (8-bit era) you would still save a cycle or two.
Seems quite vanilla Intel. I hope it runs Linux well, but, in this format, the i7 is overkill. The battery must be really limited and an Atom would probably be a better match.

> Who cares about relative coverage when the notion is to compensate for CO2 captured?

The notion isn't absolute CO2 captured it's net CO2.

If country A generates 1000 units and captures 200 units while country B generates 20 units and captures 100 units then clearly country B isn't indebted to country A simply because A's captured unit count is higher A is indebted to B for having taken some of the pollution out (assuming A wishes for B to continue doing so rather than clear the forests and develop).

You have to accept country B would be indebted to country A in the above scenario before you can get to questions like who is going to pay Russia and Canada as while they are large and have large absolute capture numbers they are even larger polluters.

Rackmount networking hardware (routers, switches), disk arrays/storage appliances, etc. I work with a lot of equipment that does. It's usually a rj-45 connector on the hardware, but you just use a cable that has rs-232 on one end and rj-45 on the other.

You'd might not want to have a daemon running in the background or install extra software in certain circumstances.

If you're using a lightweight solution such as systemd-timesyncd or ntpdate+cron it will only query one server, and you end up with the wrong time for ~30 minutes, which can cause major downtime or data corruption in certain circumstances.

Even if you're able to use a better client like chrony, it still doesn't solve the issues with leap seconds without extra configuration, which can cause the time to jump or move backwards, which can cause major downtime, e.g.

In the second point, presumably you mean only one-way communication, right?
One clear benefit is decent GPU performance, without the cost, physical size, and power/cooling for a discrete GPU. It's way faster than Intel or AMD's integrated graphics. You can see this difference when you unplug a MBP vs any of the laptops with a discrete GPU.

Marketing brags about memory bandwidth based on clockspeed * bus width = 400GB/sec. Getting 60% of peak on some memory bandwidth benchmark is pretty common. Try McCalpin's stream benchmark on your platform of choice to verify. I suspect you'll find similar on Intel or AMD on desktops, laptops, or servers.

Not sure I buy the memory bound argument, sure peak performance will not change, but worst case performance can be caused by cache misses. So I expect that the new MBPs will be more evenly fast than the x86-64 competition, even while doing stressful things. I don't currently need a $3k laptop, but am hoping they ship a mini with a M1 Max or Pro.

To quote anandtech:
The fp2017 suite has more workloads that are more memory-bound, and it’s here where the M1 Max
is absolutely absurd. The workloads that put the most memory pressure and stress the DRAM the
most, such as 503.bwaves, 519.lbm, 549.fotonik3d and 554.roms, have all multiple factors of
performance advantages compared to the best Intel and AMD have to offer.

So an apple M1 Max is 19% faster on SpecFP (floating point applications) as a Ryzen 5950x which has twice as many fast cores (16 vs 8) and runs at 105 watts TDP. That's pretty amazing in my book.
> One outcome of this fight might be that government organizations are directed to use more proprietary communication methods which would be a poor outcome for everyone involved.

I agree with the rest of your argument, but I think that this part is not necessarily a good example of the risks. Far easier would be to use a shared key between the app and the site, and thus use encryption to prevent reading the data, while still sending it in JSON over HTTPS. A pinned certificate would do the trick, at least on phones which prevent the user from inspecting app bundles.
Indeed. In my case, ever since I became a parent, I consider weekends a total write-off.
You seem to be describing slut-shaming, not mansplaining.

Mansplaining is the phenomenon of which an arrogant male-persons arrogance can be attributed to their sex/gender (as appropriate), usually with some reference to "patriarchy" and the undeserved confidence of those higher up in the power hierarchy when belittling or underestimating those lower on that same scale.

In practice, it is a gender-specific, weaponised term used in any situation where a man is perceived to be arrogant towards a women i.e. it is commonly abused beyond any positive philosophical aims.

Maybe it has a similar reasoning i.e. men sexist-ly assume women know less than them - but the fact is that it is rarely clear b/c arrogant, narcissistic people of both genders exist without the need for such a basis.
I started using Instacart in 2013, after few years completely stopped using and any other grocery delivery. The problem is that often the shopper thinks things are “out of stock” if they don’t find them, or they just buy the wrong item. So each delivery you are always stressing about if you get all the items and if the quality of produce is good enough. I’d rather order stuff from Amazon or another web store that only ships when they have the right product at hand.

Personally don’t believe the supermarkets will go away. I don’t think the business model of these delivery platforms allows having qualified staff to do the shopping.

The PO in IPO is public offering, meaning new shares are created. So generally speaking, the amount raised goes to the company. Dilution is a factor of what's raised and the vaulation. If you raise a 10% round, you dilute by 10%, so 10% is sold. It varies by company and preference. Existing shareholders can typically sell after the lockup (for common share holders, like founders and employees) and at any time (for preferred share holders, whose shares convert into unrestricted common shares as part of the IPO).

Let me preface this by clarify that when I say 'children', I mean young children 12 and younger, not teenagers in secondary school who can reasonably be expected to care for themselves...

Personally, I'm not seeing why this is a huge issue. In the 1980s, parents of at least the private school that I used would get a syllabus containing all the homework and class plans for the year.

If you wanted to know what was happening on week #7, you just had to look it up on paper without having a handy app to put it on your calendar. It wasn't seen as surveillance, but rather normal planning. If the teacher and school system know what's upcoming, then why shouldn't parents. It was seen as obvious that parents would help their children with homework, and that education necessarily involved parental support.

Along the way if there were any disciplinary or academic issues, parents would have to sign-off on handling minor problems, and would get a personal phone call from the school for major ones. This is in addition to monthly meetings, PTA, etc.

Has the world changed so much nowadays that people just drop off young children at school and can reasonably expect to be totally uninvolved?

Now to contrast, in my country, secondary school (13-17) is usually boarding so kids are 100% outside of your view for 4 years and are forcibly made independent.

Watching several detailed YouTube reviews (Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed), the performance difference is 0-20% above a 5950x. Long duration (above 8 min) render workloads seem to push AMD back to break even, but memory dependant mutlithreaded bursty workloads heavily favor 12900k. Of course halo products are going to halo. The interesting story may be the 12600k, for it's price to performance considerations. Cooling the chips is not simple, air cooling is not enough, one reviewer recommending 360mm AIO as a requirement.

Edit: Gaming benchmarks are all over the place reviewer to reviewer. Some showing huge jumps, others not, game to game.

As a Linux desktop user I am still a bit disappointed about AMD. My Ryzen 7 does not run 100% reliably (freezes many times a year, althoug typically not more than once a month.

Independently but equally annoying the temperature sensors are not well supported, obviously AMD does not share documentation or contribute to the kernel. Don't remember the details now. Gave up frustrated 2 years ago or so.
I noticed that the EA Sports titles aren't on the list. The FIFA franchise pulls in at least $2b every year (31 million units sold[1] which is $1.5b at roughly $50 per unit plus a likely majority of the $1.6b of EA's annual Ultimate Team revenue[2]) If each yearly CoD release counts as a new game for this metric, I'm not sure why the yearly FIFA releases wouldn't.

The act of publishing has little to do with it. Sweden is open by default and the government has to provide public access to official documents to anyone and everyone - including foreign nationals.

> The principle of public access to official documents serves as a guarantee for transparency in the work of the Riksdag, the Government and the public authorities. The principle is set out in the Freedom of the Press Act, which is one of Sweden's fundamental laws, and means that everyone is entitled to access official documents.

> Everyone is entitled to contact a public authority and request a copy of an official document. Anyone requesting access to an official document does not need to provide their name or any details of how the document will be used.

The government can opt-in to secrecy.

> The Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act contains provisions on secrecy to protect public interests, for example, national security. It also contains provisions on secrecy to protect individuals’ personal or financial circumstances.

Curious what makes a cache better to you.
Based on this review

> ...But in this engaging and well-researched treatise, Michael Shellenberger exposes the environmental movement’s hypocrisy in painting climate change in apocalyptic terms while steadfastly working against nuclear power....

the two books are fairly similar actually. MffF doesn't have much dogmatic environmentalist alarm. It discusses how humanity and its systems could react once the point of no climate return is reached/if it's reached, which is a different focus than this book you've linked. Whitewashing MffF as environmental alarmism really misses the point.

For example, assuming this is covered Shellenberger's book

> He also cites that the Dutch have adapted quite well to subsidence putting much of their nation under sea level, and they have been able to survive and thrive

MffF "wouldn't" disagree with that. But, it would highlight some instances where CC adaption mindsets (like your linked book) don't cover the whole picture. Some climates humans just can't adapt to. What then? MffF goes through that.

>objectively repressive and despotic on a scale, consistency, and breadth not yet seen over such a sustained period of time

Not familiar with Chinese governance but on your last point, if we take the worst actions of the US Democrat and Republican party, don't they also have a horrific track record over the last 70+ years, both domestically and internationally (mass murder in Vietnam, Iraq, Cambodia, Japan, Afghanistan, South America, and so on..., mass surveillance, assassinations, racist laws, mass incarceration, etc)?

It would be hard to claim that just because we segment the atrocities into 4-8 year periods, these parties (which are united during the execution of much of these atrocities) are not as objectively repressive and despotic as the Chinese variety.

Where scale is concerned, we get equivalent scale by operating internationally while the CCP operates primarily domestically.
