The certainty with which you make all these obviously completely wrong statements is baffling.

Really, electricity distribution is a solved problem, and has been for more than a century. And here you are arguing that something that is in very minor use at the moment is 'easier', in spite of many challenges still be to solved before it can operate at scale. I'll just leave this link here and I would very much appreciate it if you stopped making all these assertions without qualification as though possess some kind of oracle because it is bordering on the ridiculous.

https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/hydrogen-pipelines

Your whole comment history is nothing but an endless stream of assertions without evidence including ones that are 'not even wrong'. That's not the level that I expect for this site and you are not doing us a service with this. I also do not understand why the only subject you are interested in is pushing the Hydrogen angle for more than it is worth.
That seems like a really good question. I highly doubt that skill at software development and skill at self-promotion are positively correlated. In fact I suspect they are likely to be negatively correlated.
Is there any definition of race, other than “human”, where the authors point changes in correctness or lack thereof?
Yes if it's a third party doing it, it's especially a win-win for the exchange as they are getting paid fees on all that transaction volume.

I kind if assumed it was the exchanges themselves faking it. Wash trading without colluding with the exchange is pretty expensive.

Does this apply to NFTs though, where you're usually talking about a unique NFT within a collection of a few thousand? If you hold a unique NFT and trade it to yourself for a crazy amount of money just once, then that's what everyone is going to see as the last sale price of that NFT. They're not trading often anyway usually, people would probably be more suspicious if you had hundreds of trades.

Edit: I was mixing this up with another conversation, the parent comment obviously isn't about NFTs. I'll leave this here though because I think wash trading is even more relevant to them.
The thing is, in many cases you don't need to know if the diagnosis is correct, so long as the results are directionally correct. If the outcome is an improvement in health, that meets your threshold for value delivered, hence payment rendered. I think there are many cases when you don't need to be smarter than the other person to benefit from their expertise. You can take it a step further and make the distinction between absolute value versus perceived/relative value -- if we have a patient with cancer, absolute value might mean destroying all cancer cells (which is an absolute metric but extremely hard to model). But perceived value might be "feeling better". It's important to make this distinction particularly in healthcare because absolute benefits and relative benefits are extremely important. Hospice/end-of-life care is a good example of this (as is the cancer example above). Most people would prefer relative or perceived comfort as opposed to absolute results that only end up prolonging a painful process.

Outside of healthcare, for another example example, you don't need to understand engineering and tension dynamics in order to appreciate that the second floor of your home support you and your roof doesn't cave in on itself. I don't have examples on hand, but in medicine we've had cases where people do some logical variation of "the right thing for the wrong reasons." I.e., rituals that correlate with healthy outcomes because there is some not-yet-understood principle at play (i.e, you don't need to understand germ theory to benefit from cleanliness rituals).

I think this is one of those logical conundrums which falls into the trap of "in theory, in practice". The artificial constraints around the problem space result in artificial logical conundrums.

Wow, this looks really wrong on Google Maps (Mercator strikes again!), but I looked it up and you're right.

386DX40 was somewhere between 486SX16 and 20 when running 32bit code. Both 386DX and 386SX executed 16bit code at very similar speed to 286 clock for clock. 486 arch as a straight up x2 speed increase.

I have old 1994 catalogs listing AMD 386DX40 + motherboard (128KB cache) combo at a price point of three 1MB simm sticks, or one Intel 486DX25 processor, or one VLB graphic card, or one 14" VGA mono monitor :) 386SX with motherboard was 2/3 of that. I build whole 386 computer at the time spending pizza money on it (386DX40 + bunch of older used components).

If you really wanted to compare it to today it would be more of a $40 board + $50 CPU situation while everyone buys $150 boards for their $200 CPUs.

Lest anyone think that the solution is more regulation, it's worth looking at the impact of the BitLicense. This overbearing regulatory framework has stifled innovation and forced crypto startups to leave the world’s leading financial hub and build their companies elsewhere. Compliance costs millions of dollars, leaving most startups with no viable option except to block their users from accessing their services in NY. No one wins. In their misguided attempt to protect their citizens, they inadvertently blocked New Yorkers from participating in the best performing asset class of the decade.
Thank you. I understand what you mean by “feeling like I forgot how to code”. I honestly think I would not be able to pass a technical interview at this point, and I’ve been coding since ‘96 (chronologically: Delphi, Java 2, .NET/C#). I fear even to try, lest I prove my self right. My energy levels are at 0.1%
Well then we just need to restructure corporate law to ensure that half (okay a third) of the shares are reserved for employees and one of the results of employment is to become a shareholder.

As shareholders are organized into funds, employees can organize into worker organizations and as with shareholder unions, they then get a voting board member, who could be elected by the workers to represent them on the board.

This results in a power balance between capital and labor (both of which are required for a successful business). Yes, this means higher wages and rights for labor relative to the current situation in the USA, and less dividends for shareholders, but that seems fair doesn't it?

Every individualist I know, including myself since I consider myself one, believes that a state is necessary to resolve and mediate disputes between individuals. So I don't think this is a violation of individualism. Even Objectivists believe in the courts and police. The key is that the state is there to protect individual rights, that's it.
In the US look for small consulting companies with fast changing staffing needs.

At my last job, we had a pool of trusted contractors we pulled in for gigs. Clients found our firm through our marketing efforts. We had employed consultants, but staffing needs shrink and grow all the time. When a new client wants 3-4 people parachuted in, we would want to help. So it was great to build relationships with trusted contractors.

Much of the time these contractors had little interest in marketing and sales, but liked being contractors, so it essentially worked out like we were their agent. Almost always we kept them in steady risk and also took on much of the payment risk. (We always paid contractors on time even if the client was slow to pay us).

I think this is a pretty common pattern especially on the smaller and niche ends of the consulting space. The huge consulting firms can just afford to have a huge bench all the time. But for small firms, that’s not a luxury the company can afford.

Tech progresses quietly in the background. Consider how good cars are today compared to a decade ago.

Absent "breakthroughs", tech should make you hopeful regardless. And the incremental, steady progress may do more than the breakthroughs.
There's a lot of uninformed takes in this thread, but this really takes the cake. There is literally nobody in the Ethereum space who sees MEV as anything other than rent extraction.

Flashbots' mission is for MEV to disappear. They're doing that by making it a more open process and to prevent MEV extraction from making the chain unusable via high gas fees.

Flashbots RPC exists as a feature because private txPools/RPCs are the only way to be absolutely sure your transaction won't have MEV extracted from it. If Flashbots wanted more MEV, they would only allow transactions via Flashbots RPC that cannot be MEV extracted.

By allowing MEV-extractable transactions on Flashbots RPC, they effectively reduce the amount of MEV that is mined.
I like the idea of a payment ban because it will force most companies to look at the systems that should be in place to prevent attacks. So many companies don't have working backups, and have not partitioned their systems in ways that prevent an attack (or accident, or corruption) from spreading from system to system. The disappointment is real when you tell the ransomware guy, "We're not paying. We just restored from backup."
One recurring thought I’ve had about the requirement for N95/FFP2 respirators/masks to be closely fitted: Any gap in the seal will drastically reduce efficiency, but a respirator worn in a reasonable manner will always be more efficient than a square mask with enormous high-flow low-resistance gaps on both sides.

In hospitals, high importance is rightfully placed on correctly fitting N95/FFP2 and up – this is so that they function to spec and can be formally assumed to work like the specification indicates so they can be applied as a tool in general use by, well, by a population of staff.

This does not mean that respirators which are worn in a reasonable manner will ever be as poor filtration devices as gaping masks, especially not if the pathogen is airborne / aerosolized and operates almost purely as air flow, not droplets with mass and inertia to consider.

And COVID-19 is airborne and must be considered as airborne. There were five links, and the fifth is a collection of papers :) There is also a significant amount of detail and discussion and framing and context in adjacent tweets i all the links.
Like you, I'm not sure how the article arrived at the cost of individualism is privacy. I'm very individualist (I guess?). I've been in a collectivist culture before (the military) and immediately one of the first things you become aware of is that the cost to collectivism is privacy. That could just be my experience, and really privacy may not be related to either, but more the values of the group. In individualism it's the average of how much each individual values privacy, where in collectivism the result is more a statement about the groups goals (or rather, the purpose for which they are collectivist.)

I agree with you that it's definitely about who you know - if you go to Stanford, you can get better jobs out of college compared to someone with similar skills who didn't. But I worked at a FAANG (or whatever it's called now) company and many of the senior engineers we hired were from small/less prestigious companies. These were people with ~10 years of experience who had become great software engineers but had never considered themselves in a class to work in big tech. Then, when given a chance, they got an offer and often accepted it because it paid so much better than their old job. If there weren't such high demand for software engineers, the company would just have hired from other big tech companies since it's safer, but they were forced to try to find people in unexpected places.

On the other hand, these people were still negatively impacted by their backgrounds: they hadn't had the chance to join fancy tech companies out of college, which meant they missed out on several years of career opportunities. They were more likely to be hired at a Senior Software Engineer level, for example, when someone similar from a big tech company might be hired at Staff+.
It's not about profits per se, it's about market distortion.

> I feel like there’s a disconnect between people who believe climate change is an existential threat to humanity within the next few years and those who believe it’s a problem that will get worse over time, but not an immediate existential threat.

I agree. One of many disconnects.

> It’s worth pointing out that all doomsday prophesies so far haven’t come true, not just about climate change but nuclear warfare, asteroids hitting the earth, over-population, etc.

Of these, I think only "nuclear warfare" was an alarm bell widely raised by scientists and it was precisely that alarm bell that led to nuclear disarmament and anti-proliferation policy (which averted the disaster). "We should do nothing because it always works out" is kind of silly when it has only worked out because people have done something. See also Y2K.

> overstating the immediate risks of climate change will lead to ignoring clear abuses like what China is doing to the Uyghurs.

Climate change isn't about the immediate risks (wealthy nations can largely live with a little drought, flooding, and wildfire), it's about the next century and beyond. But yes, I do think we should let this existential threat affect our decisions about Chinese human rights abuses, as a special case. Personally, I would love for the world to have invested heavily in nuclear 50 years ago to the extent that we don't have to worry about China's ego threatening all of civilization, but that's a reality we sadly don't inhabit.
On the contrary, I am quite aware of those, but op is not. Krak des Chevaliers might not really fit the profile of castles in clasical meaning, but belong to a very specific niche of fortifications of military monastic orders in Middle East.

As for castles in UK - these aparently are representative castles and not really only fortifications. Even the smallests castles in UK were mainly used for something that was manor estate of a local royal family.

If I was in the market for a new electric car, I'd definitely be considering the Kia EV6. Which supports the point I've made before that I seriously doubt Tesla can compete with other manufacturers' ability to spin up reliable and quality new models.
Exactly. Consumer tech today from social media to hardware devices like doorbell cameras seem to only be able to exist (eg. funded) if they include collecting data on the user. Therein is the problem and there is no technical reason why tech x has to include spying features. But if there is no way to get tech x to market without them, then so be it. As an individualist myself, I am retreating rapidly in to not using tech. The last thing I would ever do is put an Amazon microphone in my kitchen or a Google camera on my door. I have switched to DDG and Brave. And as time allows, considering ways to use email and phones without being spied on. It's a sad state of affairs - not so much the market reality that privacy breaching is the primary monetization, but that not everyone else is like me and rejects it. The masses willingly swallow it.

This is such a ridiculous take. Blockchain is completely fixing the remittence industry. It is one of the most empowering technologies for the developing world.

And your statement isn't even true. On layer 2s like Polygon you can send $0.50 anywhere in the world for less than a penny in fees. Think of Ethereum like the New York Times. You want to place an ad--so do many other people, and page space is limited. It's a pretty ridiculous critique of the entire advertising industry to say it's only for the rich because placing an ad in the New York Times is expensive. You can post your ad on craigslist for free.
> However! In this discussion, no one has yet offered the hypothesis that the purported discrimination against men could be explained by men being objectively less suitable to work in female-dominated professions than women. Perhaps men have less "emotional iq" than women or something?

Well, I'll bite. If you really want to go down this road we could also start talking about how women being given time off specifically for their menstrual cycle or menopause (the latter is being seriously discussed in the media etc.) when there are no equivalent allowances whatsoever for men (despite the fact that men die younger than women!) means that women are 'objectively less suitable' for work full stop. Have you stopped to consider why the HN audience may have reacted as they have, and aren't you in fact guilty of the very thing you are accusing them of, that is, jumping to a conclusion about their thinking etc?

This paper jumps the gun. Detecting wash trading by examining distributions over rounded order prices is a strong and dubious claim for which they provide little evidence. The author's equate wash trading to non-rounded, clustered prices which really just indicates automated trading. Now automated ("bot") trading is a technology needed for exchanges wash trading sure, but not exclusive evidence of it.

Automated trading strategies (e.g., "grid trading") are really popular and there are many third party bot providers that integrate in multiple exchange APIs. Maybe the unregulated class of exchanges here just has more permissive APIs/automation than the regulated ones. Automated trading is still legitimate trading where a party puts their capital on the line.

I agree that the lack of rounding and trade size clusters is a likely approximate indicator of non-human orders. The presence of automated orders does not automatically mean there is fraudulent wash trading by the exchange.

The authors also do not cite previous research or evidence of their methodology working for traditional finance. It all makes for weak evidence of actual wash trading.
Yes once the attackers had got inside the keep it would have been all over. If the builders had been serious about defending the spiral stairs, they'd have added something like a portcullis or replaced the stairs with a ladder.

I've heard this myth a few times and even repeated it myself without question. It's an obviously fanciful idea now I think about it some more.
1- Gas price, to them its not a significant amount, its a business expense, they profit much more, when the token gets listed on popular lists due to this, which brings up new holders , who pump up the mcap by a lot, as the lp pool on these tokens is very small (only a couple of million dollars, compared to mcap which is way higher)

2- pool on tokens like these are usually only made by the owner themselves, so pool fees goes back to them.

3- They do this to invite new people, and then inflate the token price, and rug them by either pulling the entire lp, or just exit it , in a few mins.

Some also do this, to qualify for potential centralised exchange listing, down the line (instead of rugging).
Thanks for adding that and you're absolutely right from what I've seen.
