Ikea furniture is reasonably durable. Electronics and home electric appliances is what don’t last long and difficult or impossible to repair.
It seems like IBM has blown their credibility so many times. As soon as I saw IBM mentioned in the lead of the title, I knew what was to follow is almost entirely actual-content-free marketing spin.
The iPhone was certainly way cleaner, but there are still just basic things to know about using one, that was my point.

Understanding that EVs charge faster with lower state of charge isn’t that complicated and is something people can easily understand and adapt their behavior to.

Also very happy with openwrt on this device. Really quite a decent gui tui and config. Setting up always on open vpn and wireguard was reasonably painless and works well.
It would be, if it were possible. That it isn't is why that is a bad language. There are others in that same boat.

Yep looks like you’re right, those are some pretty beefy requirements. I suppose that if they’re paid in Sol then they could become profitable/more profitable over time and then more might come in, but that’s definitely a really high floor.

A computer is just an implementation of a function (in mathematical sense), ie., a finite set of pairs (IN, OUT) where (IN, OUT) in {0,1}^N, {0,1}^N. Ie., its an implementation of {010101, ...} -> {010101010, 01010...} .

If we all agree that the function the man performs can be set to be whatever you wish (ie., any {input sentences} -> {output sentences}) and we agree that the man doesnt understand chinese... then the question arises: what is missing?

I dont think the "systems reply" actually deals with this point -- it rather just "assumes it does" by "assuming some system" to be specified.

If using a language isnt equivalent to a finite computable function -- what is it?

The systems reply needs to include that the reason a reply is given is that the system is caused to give the reply by the relevant causal history / environment / experiences. Ie., that the system says "it's sunny" because it has been acquainted with the sun, and it observes that the day is sunny.

This shows the "systems reply" prima facie fails: it is no reply at all to "presume that the system can be so-implemented so as to make the systems reply correct". You actually need to show it can be so-implemented. No one has done this.

There are lots of reasons to suppose it can be done, not least, that most things arent computable (ie., via non-determinism, chaos, and the like). Given the environment is chaotic, it is a profoundly open question whether computers can be built to "respond to the right causes" and computational systems may be incapable of doing this.

If they cannot, then searle is right. That man, and whatever he may be a part of, will never understand chinese. It is insufficient to "look up the answers", "proper causation" is required.
I think so as well, but it looks like they had their terminology confused. They used the term CB originally, then talked about using a Baofeng. I'm just pointing out that CB is something very different from VHF FM. Many lay people see a radio with a handmike and think "CB".
The text interface is curses-based - so while it may not be rendering graphics pixel by pixel, it's still laying characters out in two dimensions rather than e.g. presenting you with a list of cell values as unformatted text. So it's visual in the same way as Vi(m) is visual.
Oof, remember all the complaints about broken things when ".dev" became a valid TLD? And that was never specified as something you could rely on.

Use of 127/8 goes back at least 27 years to RFC1700 [1], maybe earlier.

The title says "correlated" so they're not necessarily claiming causation.

>A possible culprit in the degradation of the SS Wisconsin and SS Milwaukee that Thomsen and her co-author had cited in a preliminary report on the former is “the introduction of invasive species,” specifically zebra and quagga mussels. These two mollusk species often latch onto iron, steel and other hard materials that are commonly used in ship making. This encrustation can speed up corrosion and obscure a ship’s appearance over time, making it harder to analyze the degradation of the shipwreck.

Does this make sense to anyone? It was common knowledge growing up with these mussels that they colonized only about 6-30 inches deep. Past that, your feet basically weren't going to be eviscerated if you stepped somewhere, so I'm wondering how these (presumably deep) shipwrecks are getting colonized.

Edited to give more complete quotation.
I'm not the parent commenter, but here's my reasons for wanting to pay my mortgage off early:

1. Not having to be reminded to pay the payment every month, or making sure the automatic payments keep going. No more mortgage payments safely frees income for other purposes.

2. The satisfaction of fully owning my house and land.

3. Most millionaires pay off their houses early.[0] Who doesn't want to be one of those?

> Clearly you are worried about something.

Didn't you notice the millions of people who lost their jobs last year? Haven't you noticed that the economy isn't in the best of shape lately?

> I don't understand why having 100K house + 120K mortgage + 120K assets is worse than having a 100K house.

The reason is: if you had a fully paid off house, would you borrow 120K against it?

Regarding #1, won't you have to pay tax on the gains anyways, if you ever sell the stock?
Semantics. You still have to use additional resources for the swap.

BTW, in Python, "a,b = b,a" is actually faster (execution time) than explicitly using a third variable.

In other words, I am not saying it is a bad technique, just saying it has to use additional resources for the swap, that's all.

In fact, the Python idiom is faster even if you doing something like:

a,b = b[:],a[:]

As an end user, I care more about code quality and stability than I do speed of shipping code. I don't want to use some buggy code that was pushed through production too quickly just because the devs are lazy!
Marseille?

I live near Marseille and I wouldn't put it in the "best" list. It certainly has some personality, and they certainly worked a lot making it look nicer in the last decade, but let's say it is not particularly clean and crime rate is high for France. As for walking, like most European cities, it is walkable, but there are still a lot of motor vehicles, and traffic laws tend to be open to interpretation. Mopeds in particular can be loud, run red light and take shortcuts through walkways.

The author mentions hashish, and it is spot on, because that's where you find it, especially in "quartiers nords", the ghetos of Marseille.

And then, if you want to visit Marseille, there is the problem of getting there, as with most large cities, lots of traffic and not much parking place, and mass transit Marseille is usable but it is far from the best in France.

Now to be fair, it is not as bad as I make it, and the author description is a good one. I am just surprised to find it in a top list for walking cities.

Now if you are visiting Marseille, I also recommend Aix-en-Provence. It is the wealthy sister of Marseille, if is a nicer, smaller city, good for walking, and there is a bus line between the two. Of course, it is also less diverse, so do both if you have time.
Valuation is solely an art and a constant moving puck. It goes up and down based on funding cycles and regions. The easiest time to raise money is when there is zero revenue and lots and lots of revenue (or sometimes traction if the user is the potential product).

Some (not sure if all) railway tracks were also affected [0]. There are two tracks that go into Vancouver (CN and CP have each their own I believe), not sure if both were affected. Keep in mind that the train also works as a pipeline of sorts for the Alberta oil, and a ton of coal comes from the eastern BC border by train. And on that note, I heard speculation that the actual pipelines may have also been affected.

The lack of ongoing support from device manufacturers is really awful. There were some major UPnP vulnerabilities (last year, as well as some previous ones iirc) and a parade of attacks against WPA of various levels and very few devices ever get patched for them - including high-spec devices.

Running open-source firmware is basically necessary to have any chance against all these attacks, because manufacturers simply won't do the work.

There really really needs to be some regulation on this, internet of things devices as well. Give a defined minimum software update lifespan on the box at time of purchase and require that it be at least 3 years from the date of sale, for example.
Fair enough. My guess is that the commercial solutions are simply going where the money is. If there was a commercially pressing need to port to other systems, I’m sure it can be done.

With that said, it's one thing to have a legitimate reason for preferring an alternative approach. But the paper doesn't even mention these solutions, which means that the authors are either ignorant of what's already been done (bad), or deliberately avoiding comparisons to alternative approaches (worse).
Sorry, how are your examples different for a blockchain vs. a company from the point of view of a young individual employee?
I provided no proof because the facts I stated are well known, but more importantly this article itself points out Russia interference in the election and various trump Russia connections that are unrelated to the dossier. It would be weird to reiterating the article we all read, we all read it right?

In fact, to continue my analogy, the article itself explains that the rest of the forest is a big factor of why some journalists reported like the cell tower was a tree.

So No, I don’t need to provide support of statements that the article we are commenting on already supports.

It’s clear those statements are inconvenient to people so they are downvoting and not even reading the article

How many people actually update their router firmware?
I like this story but I must say it leaves me with more questions than answers. How did he get restaurants to sign on and trust him enough to prepare food for 1 month without payout? Assuming "based on existing relationships" I have to wonder his former employer didn't care about taking his rolodex and directly poaching customers? What about couriers? How did they handle "no couriers available" or a spike in demand? If someone places a delivery order and it turns out there's no one to deliver it in the next hour, that's a problem. What about disputes, refunds, missing items, "this isn't what I ordered" etc.? The all-cash nature of the business makes clear this was not a US based business where that would likely have been a non-starter.

Very cool story but it's hard for me to really understand it without knowing how the business actually worked and made money. I assume it was a very different market from USA and so economics are very different (cheaper labor, less regulation etc.). Would love to know the name of the business to see the outcome.

America is a big place. Being alive today allows us to be exposed to a multitude of diverse communities.
If you select a particular place or community at random, chances are, you won't fit in. But there probably is a group you DO fit into. The situation today is much better than our ancestors, who were born into a tribe, and were probably stuck living within that tribe.
Yes I was thinking of this indeed. I like it because of the zero-hackability. Though it will not allow me to accept comments and I want to avoid platforms like Disqus.

However I have zero discoverability that way, like I said in the post. I can write nice articles but nobody will come across them, even people that would have been interested. I'm not vain or anything if I say so myself but if I put in the work it would be nice if someone would actually benefit from it :)

This is the nice thing about platforms like Medium but they're all so commercial... I don't like that part. And I don't want to constantly market my blog everywhere. I just want it in a place where people could pick up on it if they find it interesting, and ideally where I could find such posts from others. A bit like Hacker News but then more for blogs itself.

It absolutely does not need to monetise in any way. I have a job :)
I also don't see Buffalo. The question is whether they're not vulnerable, or whether they were simply not tested (being smaller brands).

Roughly, computational power = number of operations per cycle.

Classical computers can only perform a number of operations per cycle linearly proportional to the amount of hardware architecture available (ex: one core, two cores, quad-core). Quantum computers can take advantage of superposition and entanglement to, given some restrictions, perform multiple operations per cycle, proportional to "two" to the power of the number of qubits.
No fees, also a brokerage, free checks, free atm, free wires, can trivially spin up IRA, move money between accounts, etc.

When I used standard banks they often forced me to go in at difficult hours to do basic things and it took forever. They also had lots of fees (and as suggested in the parent comment, bad software)

Another option might be to rephrase them as "Assembled or Disassembled", "Assembled", "Disassembled".

Not where I live, rural America.

All the insanity is _literally_ in the big cities. There are minorities out here and we all get along just fine.

It's political groups and the media that get people whipped up into hatred for each other, not individuals or communities.

I think "Why is it noteworthy that YouTube took down some content?" is a much more interesting start to discussion. (as opposed to "I am mad that something was taken down by YouTube")

To elaborate, It is noteworthy because YouTube is essentially the de-facto monopoly video host on the Internet. From there, we have basically two main paths of discussion:

1) We should do nothing
2) We should force change on that monopoly to either:
2a) break it up
2b) control its actions
2c) nurture competition

I think that 2c is the topic with most interesting discussion because the core issue is deeply connected with the general difficulty involved in existing online outside of "walled gardens". What does "nurturing" a potential competitor to YouTube actually involve? It could potentially be oblique changes that result in easier self-hosting or easier inter-system integration for basic communication like contacts/messages/email.
This is the actual manufacturer of the tube from the article! A modern nixie tube manufacture, they have had to (re)learn the processes and tooling again, from old books, and acquiring old tools like that awesome glass lathe. Their youtube channel is great to watch, they explain a lot of their steps.

Farmers needed loans to get them between harvests, and those were also quite usurious. The land was in relative abundance (even with the "end of the frontier"), so it's not like it was the sort of anchoring asset that middle class home-ownership today is crocked up to be.

But you are right that poor assets or debts are not enough to explain how interests rates are supposed to help or hurt them. The idea is very roughly that lower interest rates unlock investment which causes them to have jobs.

The traditional first approximation is regular people live entirely off income and have no meaningful assets or debts, and rich people don't work and just have assets and debts, live off profits/dividends, or even just loans with their appreciating assets as collateral. It is "class as calculus" as I wrote more about in another comment.
Asus' routers essentially run a skinned version of Tomato with some Asus-specific enhancements. The stock firmware is open source and there's a popular enhanced fork of it, asuswrt-merlin, that's a drop in replacement.

> You can’t really have it both ways, you can’t have a super strong social safety net for people who lose it all and a system where it’s easy to gamble your life savings on incredibly unregulated markets and incentive all the scammers to come out of the woodwork.

I really liked this point. Then I thought about it more and I think the reason why we have accredited investor laws is because we don't actually have that strong of a social safety net. For example, I've often wondered how much risk people would be free to take if we had a UBI or government dividend or whatever ya wanna call it. If people had a guaranteed income (or guaranteed home or guaranteed other basic service), how much more risk would people be able to take? I imagine a lot.

Conversely, I've worked in entrepreneurship in the US and in East Africa. In East Africa, I think because there's very little social safety net (government provided, there's more social safety in family networks), it can be really really risky to try to be an entrepreneur.

All that to say that I think if, frankly, the ones who win the bets they place would put more money into social safety nets, then others could take more bets as well. I just think sometimes the people who win the bets they place think they won because they're skilled not because of mostly random luck and then don't contribute to government or non-government social safety nets, thus we make laws preventing the majority of people making bets that could drop them through the safety net that currently exists.
