Surely there's an insurance company that would take on that risk, and the government could pay for it. These government incentives are rife with excessive spending on a per-job/total economic impact basis. I see no reason why this detail would derail things.
There isn't a port, but there is an app with a recipe system that allows you to control the hardware. You can either use a guided recipe creation mode or you can dive into expert mode which lets you set most all the of recipe making parameters so people can got to town.
None of these features require a blockchain and can be done trivially by a central authority issuing append-only cryptographically signed ledger entries.

What's the benefit of this when the bank has to accept a cleared record for a party to withdraw funds anyway?
Rational/irrational is a vacuous distinction. Everyone has their own perspective on time and value.

This doesn't address any of the OP's arguments, however.
Not 0.
I also find the related ideas of neuroevolution of the weights of a neural networks to be fascinating in its own right.

I've implemented "cooperative coevolution" which felt like magic when I considered how good it is (on some tasks like continuous control RL problems) relative to known good methods like anything involving gradients.

I wish that this stuff was explored a bit more. Seems we are leaving the paradigm of evolutionary methods...
In 2017, at a big-data ad tech company, we used to use nginx as an API gateway. Our experience with the tool was difficult enough that I'd strongly caution you to execute a deep-dive POC before committing to it. Our main problem at the time was the combination of scant documentation and poor technical support: we encountered many little issues with config file syntax that took way too long to solve: it took multiple days to figure out things that on the surface one might expect to resolve within an hour or two. And not everything was possible without turning to third party modules or writing our own plug-ins. Much can change in four years, however, so maybe they've ironed out some of those kinks. But talking about the tool of those days, I'd say plan on hiring an nginx expert to support it.

On the other hand, it's flipping fast, practically invisible.
Wow, every business in China enslaves people?
There are two "components" to what used to be `msvcrt.lib`:

- The C runtime library (now `ucrt.lib` AKA the universal C runtime)
- The compiler runtime (now `vcruntime.lib`)

The former has a stable API, but the latter doesn't - it changes from one compiler version to the next, as it is used to support various C++ language features.

When these two were combined as `msvcrt.lib`, there was no way for windows to ship it with the OS, because it changed with each VC++ version - they could have shipped historical versions, but it wouldn't really help developers who can't guarantee that the the OS version used by their users is newer than their version of VC++.

Now that these two are split, microsoft can ship the stable universal C runtime with the OS, and programs that only rely on the C runtime do not need a redistributable at all. (This makes things easier for other languages like Rust, or things compiled from GCC, which don't need the VC++ runtime).

Programs that use the VC++ runtime still need to ship the corresponding `vcruntime`, although you still have plenty of freedom in how you do that (eg. bundle DLLs, statically link, etc.) and the compiler runtime itself is smaller than the whole C runtime library.
AWS free tier is horrible. You have to enter a creditcard to sign up, and then there is no way to prevent it being charged when you go over the limit for some reason. If you get on the frontpage of HN for example, you might be majorly screwed.

It's a test account, I just want it to shut down when the limit is reached.

This is so removed from reality that it's difficult to know where to start.

For starters, sub-pixel aliasing is a standard part of the JDK and isn't a Jetbrains addition.

What exactly is stopping you from using a standard JDK17 build with Intellij? How is the IDE not functional for you when doing so? How is it improved when using the JDK17 runtime they have on their github page?
I agree for figures in public places, but taking a years worth of pictures through a window (from a public place into a private place) is also protected by law (from the article).

Is it OK to video/telephoto photograph from a rooftop through a window above the curtains into a shower of a naked person (over 18) and sell those on the internet along with the person's name and address? What about using deep IR to see through sheer curtains? Is it OK for the police to do the same with radar and sonar inside people's homes?

How far do you have to go to have some expectation of privacy?
The Secret History of ATAPI
> If the left axis is about arbitrary allocation of resources (in this case, in accordance with some egalitarian distribution scheme), then it is authoritarian.

It's not though. Your premise is not satisfied by definition because if someone were authoritarian then they would not be libertarian. It doesn't matter how people classify themselves, only their actual positions. A lot of libertarian socialism is about building cooperatives, unions, mutual aid, free banking, etc. You're just begging the question, assuming what you want to conclude.

> vertical axis is authoritarianism vs libertarianism, and the horizontal axis is economic authoritarianism vs economic libertarianism.

That's just nonsensically redundant and not useful.
> Data Transfer from AWS Regions to the Internet

This only applies to the free tier, which you age out of after a year. Who even cares? Or am I misreading this?

They can do a lot better than this.

edit: It appears that the regional transfer doesn't age out either, even though it isn't explicitly stated in this post (whereas they did state so for Cloudfront).

What goods and services are cryptocurrencies exchanged with?

A couple people buying VPN accounts and weed are a tiny drop in the ocean that is all the speculation. The vast majority of cryptocurrency usage is fueled by the "get rich quick" hype.
What is wrong with `sudo vim /etc/foo`? I feel that it's better than `sudo -e`, but would love to see an example where `sudo -e` is better.
That's just traditional banking with extra steps...

Just look at all the organized retail crime in Northern California. There's a new article pretty much every day about groups of 20+ coordinating mass retail thefts.

Voters explicitly put into place DA and laws that basically decriminalized crime, and now are bearing the fruits of that.

Don't think voters will continue voting for those policies now that repercussions being seen and lived.
With WebAuthn you could signup with just the auth as well. It's basically the same thing as a wallet private/public key-pair so can do all the same things as a proxy for a universal ID.

Hi Scott. I started playing parser based IF less than a month ago. I find it so immersive that the only parallel I have for the experience is high quality VR. I love it so much that I wrote my own parser engine 2 weeks ago and I have some ideas for side projects to revive the genre.

Thanks for helping to create these!

I added a package for Ceras: https://www.nuget.org/packages/H.Formatters.Ceras/
I ran into some issues in testing where the data hash after serialization/deserialization does not match for Ceras. I added the package anyway, but this needs to be used with caution.
Putting aside cryptoeconomics for a second, a centralized database can be manipulated in a criminal activity. A decentralized, omni-inspected one with no clear owner and no ability to take an axe to it provides a cryptographically sound public ledger (unless it's a private blockchain of course). It'd be very difficult to--independent of the activities that the technology is being used for now--criminally tamper with the history.

I think you have to split it into conceptual layers. Decentralization at the lower layer has value independently of how it's used.
Managing a large project with basic tools is a nightmare, it also sucks for learning an API. I've tried to use VS Code for C++ and C# stuff, but it's such a poor tool compared to Visual Studio proper.

I don't feel I'm learning anything useful by wrestling with the fiddly JSON build configurations in VS Code.

> The reason (most) LSP servers don’t offer syntax highlighting is because of the drag on performance. Every keystroke you type must be sent to the server, processed, a partial tree returned, and your syntax highlighting updated. Repeat that up to 100 words per minute (or whatever your typing speed is) and you’re looking at a lot of cross-chatter that is just better suited for in-process communication.

While I agree... he might be surprised to know that that is what all language servers do anyway, even if they don't provide syntax highlighting. Every keystroke gets sent over the LSP. As JSON. It's amazing it works as well as it does.
They’re holding it wrong!
Choosing Work That Matters: Play Infinite Games by Learning Compounding Skills
i've been contemplating learning to code for the last year and I finally carved some time to write down my thoughts on why i think learning to code is a skill worth learning. would love any feedback!
True. It was definitely not a wildly coherent post.
Thanks. Yes, I agree: Most of the comments here have been polar so far, and most of the objections seem to be based upon little more than reading the headlines.

I have a nagging suspicion that the only way to reach broad agreement on whether the plan will work (or not) is... by trying it. Perhaps it can be tried on a small number of schools at first, and then gradually expanded to more schools if the results are promising, or nix the whole plan and revert to the old ways otherwise. I would propose starting with the schools that enroll children closely related to the authors of the plan.
Which of course means the engine had to have been at full thrust.

Utah's Ryan Thorell is leaving a legacy of fine, handcrafted guitars
Ryan Thorell is something of a case study in turning your passion into a successful career.

Thorell is a luthier (a.k.a. guitar maker) and the owner of Thorell Fine Guitars in Logan, Utah. And just like handcrafting his instruments—which are sold for up to $15,000 each—turning his passion into a successful career took time.
I work in fintech and I don't see how a run on Tether will result in everyone getting their money back. The people financing it are hidden behind shell corps in shady countries with loose reporting and have not been playing ball with regulators. It's not reasonable to believe they have the reserves.

The systems of payments we have today are social systems. They're built on a system of obligations, credits, debits, and liabilities. The technology used to facilitate modern systems is merely a reflection of that system.

The entire reason for the crypto ecosystem to exist is to have a financial system free of that regulation and governance.
True. But cryptocurrency gives people the option to resist seizure and suffer the consequences.
How about we build a perfect grid of cities across the US - perfectly spaced 50 miles apart. Mountain in the way? We'll use explosives. /s
Immigration will make up for the difference.
That's a fun article but also so ridiculously, obviously biased that it's difficult to take the details seriously. The author really does the subject a disservice because of that, although at least the are being open about their bias.Because it really is an interesting part of US history. And although I'm not that old and I already knew about most of it, minus some interesting details, like supporting the murder of Sharon Tate, I would imagine he is right when he points out that a lot of people do not remember or know of this history. Especially considering how dangerous people think our society is nowadays.

I had never heard anything about the Puerto Rican separatists though. That's some crazy. Thanks a bunch for the link! The supposed analysis at the end is absurd though and can be effectively skipped. The author does not understand anything about the institutions that hold power now, along with a whole lot else.

When people say "digital money" they mean being able to for example move it from one account to another with a few lines of Python code, like you can with Bitcoin/Ethereum/Tether.

You can't really do that with USD, you need an intermediary like Stripe, an attached bank account, ...
> If everybody in the US had access to bank accounts with easy electronic transfers within 5 seconds for no charge, no chargebacks and so on, as people are used to in the EU, would people still be excited about Bitcoin?

As someone born in the EU (now living in South-East Asia) I am still excited about Bitcoin. Because I feel it's the only safe haven for my honestly earned money out of reach of governments and banks. I feel Bitcoin is a too important technology to fail, especially as the world will slowly move towards Central Bank Digital Currencies that will have the same problems as fiat right now.

I view inflation as something bad for society (a hidden tax and form of theft) and CBDCs will be inflationary currencies. I also don't like that governments and central banks will get even more control over people's lives once physical currencies are gone. If you behave bad through the eyes of governments or banks (e.g. using too much electricity, eat too much meat, work as a prostitute, etc...) they might be able to take restrict your earning potential or spending. That is not a world that I'd like to live in.
you're not wrong, but there's a whole class of problems that occur outside 'enterprise' structures. Often it's just a lone cowboy building something for a small business, and the business owner have absolutely no way to determine if what's being delivered is 'good' in any meaningful sense.
They're doing something fishy with that "sorted by adjusted score."

If it sorted by tomato-meter value instead, the esteemed classics would rise to the top, and the entries you took issue with wouldn't even crack the top 50.

Whatever "adjustment" they are doing seems to strongly favor recency.
They’ll just increase the immigration rate to make up for it
Samsung is probably more accurately described as a multinational company in this context. The location of a company's headquarters is not a primary determining factor for all different types of geopolitical risk. Like other multinationals, they have some ability to pick the jurisdictions they operate, and each of those locations have their own geopolitical contexts.

However, in this case, South Korea is also a close US ally. There is little risk to the US that the headquarters of Samsung is in South Korea.
It would be good to see the numbers, but I suspect the reason is just that the author used the Oracle build of OpenJDK which doesn't include it.
Good to see the clown-car that is Texas state government embrace foreign investment from a company run by criminals when it suites them. I'm a Texan and my house if full of Samsung products, but the Gov and Lt Gov are, as always, hypocrites.
Late reply, but do you happen to have more info around timelines? I feel like the name Murray Rothbard is familiar but doesn’t ring a bell.
You're not the only one. Almost everyone that did significant deals with Oracle at some point has this opinion.
I don't think the 4x Cortex-A76 + 4x Cortex-A55 is in the same league as the Apple M1, but still quite a bit faster than the Pi4's 4x Cortex-A72.

IMO the node used is more important than the core design. Rockchip claims they will be using an 8nm node for the rk3588. And I think the rk3399 and Pi4 are using 28nm nodes right now. So if this chip materializes it could be much faster (compared to Linux oriented ARM boards of today).
This is a genuinely important point - there’s a strain of Puritanism baked into American (& more broadly western) culture that’s getting exported and enforced via our corporate dominance. Apple doesn’t allow porn on the App Store, Tumblr killed porn because of advertiser squeamishness, Onlyfans nearly killed itself because of bank pressure. Say what you will about porn, but 30 years ago gay rights would’ve fallen afoul of the same corporate conservatism - I’m broadly liberal and generally don’t believe a corporation lacks social responsibility, but I’m extremely uncomfortable with the degree to which our cultural values are encoded in especially our financial system.

I went to a public inner-city high school that some here would deride as an extreme-left institution in an extreme-left city, and we had Mein Kampf in the library. You had to request it, because previous copies had been defaced, but it was visible on a shelf behind the checkout counter.

Bit of a gadget addict and one of my "one of these days" aspirations is automating everything in the house. I wish I were a electronics/robotics expert so that I could DIY all of that and maybe one day, I'll learn enough.

One thing I've noticed though, just from using off-the-shelf "smart" stuff, that you can be at a point where you've simply swapped the management of physical repetitive to-do's around the house (light switches, locks, etc.) with the management of the devices that manage the physical repetitive to-dos's.

Does that extra layer of abstraction deliver on promised efficiencies? I don't know yet. But I've gotten in the habit of standing in the middle of the room, repeating misunderstood voice commands when I could've accomplished the same task twice over and in less time by just moving my ass.
You're misreading it. Only some parts of the free tier "age out". Other parts of the free tier are free forever (it's really stupidly confusing). The things announced in this announcement are free forever.
Right, that's why I quoted the other section.
I've done the opposite, back in the day. I used server A's keyboard & monitor to SSH to admin server B. When I was done with the system upgrade on server B, I rebooted it with control-alt-del. Except I rebooted server A.
Hypothetical imperative. Better for who, or to what aim? For the purpose of this topic, progressivism is change, and conservatism is either no change or regression. There's no need to add morality into it.
Is “building a new city” meaningfully different from just expanding or growing the current city or introducing medium density?

I’m supportive of new cities as experimentation projects - think that’s great actually. If it’s take a sprawling suburb and build another one it’s like why would you bother doing that versus just doing the same thing you’re doing now in current cities?

is there a point making a new city when so many US cities need investment to make them better?
The wealthy SF landowners are geniuses. They collect billions in rent each year - they suck up all those sweet sweet tech dollars. All they have to do is show up to city meetings and vote down more building (except commercial zoning of course!!). SF landlords are super progressive too (lol) -- they want to keep that "rent control" going. Rent control ensures no new housing, massive demand, no need to renovate, and sky high rental prices.
Not everything in the free tier expires after 12 months. Some remain always free.

Even now you should be getting 1 GB of free out traffic on your older-than-12-months AWS account.
The value is very much about the location of the land. The neighborhood, school district, proximity to parks or transit. The actual structure matters less and less these days. It is "possible" to build more, but rarely politically viable.
That is impossible: the numbers on your bankaccount are multiplied, thanks to fractional reserve. The cash in your hand is not. Maybe not a big deal now, but at some point it might be. And then it's "surprise! The numbers on your account != cash in your hand"
