We can discuss how much angular resolution is enough but we clearly don't need 300dpi for a billboard. To get the same font quality when looking at a phone, laptop or external screen a different dpi will be needed.

Here's Apple's range of Retina displays:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_display#Models

The DPI difference between highest (iPhone 12) and lowest (Pro Display XDR) is 2.2x. The angular resolution difference at typical viewing distance between those two screens is 1.1x. Clearly the angular resolution at typical viewing distance is a much better definition of what's good enough resolution than the DPI.
That's a physical thing not a mathematical proof.

South Korea is always considered as part of "northeast asia" region along with Japan, China, HK/Macau and Taiwan. If you work in MNC with presence in that region, NEasia is common designation in their sales meeting.
It could have happened but they did blatantly disregard a lot of safety procedures in the name of the test. I should hope that would but be done during normal operation.

Ps I read the book from Adam Higginbotham, I didn't just watch the show :)

He also said it would have happened eventually but I doubt it would have in normal operation. In a power loss situation similar to what they were testing perhaps...

I've used Windows since 3.1, but I think this new direction is the beginning of the end for Windows. Combining an OS that relies heavily on remote services, with engineers that don't understand security, is a recipe for disaster. At the drop of a hat your OS can break because some remote service breaks[1], or worse, your system gets compromised because the attack surface has grown to size of a small country. I don't want to be one of the inevitable victims. I'm switching to Linux for my next build.

Personally, I think Facebook's largest problem in this situation is that they were overly reliant on "AI" systems to flag hate speech, which is against their terms of service anyways.

The problem is that Myanmar up until recently (until after the genocide) wasn't even using Unicode, and Facebook only did the bare minimum to get Zawgyi-text processing up.

They also did not hire any Burmese language moderators until it was too late, in a country where Facebook more or less became synonymous with the internet. Meanwhile, Facebook had worked with local phone companies to preinstall the app on phones.

So again, I think this was growth at all costs, without thinking about the consequences, until they got enough egg on their face.

Thats pretty much the same situation as over here, in Austria. Police is perfectly fine if you drive out of an intersection when it is red. But driving into it when it is red, can incur a HEFTY fine.

Also: A arrow on the signal means you can just go, a full blob means you have to be careful about other traffic.

So we have a few intersections where left turns are on a different timer, where ONLY the left turning traffic goes. Usually before the head on traffic gets green. Or where the arrow extends it for the left turning traffic, so they still are allowed to drive into the intersection when straight on wouldn't.
Ok, but is there any reason that you think a decentralized AMM would be more efficient than an equivalent centralized system vended by NASDAQ? Of course not, the latter would be faster and cheaper. It just doesn't exist yet. The former is boat anchored to the blockchain making it infinitely less efficient and more expensive.

You're just describing an opportunity that exists in classical markets. No reason someone couldn't build it, faster, and more efficiently.

Blockchain is an inefficiency and a liability.
I disagree, honestly. Hong Kong is like everywhere and I feel like it's more akin to Italy than Norway here: people are latin or let's say sanguine, the brain concentration is in foreigners who dont care (my child and wife are born here, I kinda want to care now), so the situation is more complicated than "everyone is rational and intelligent so power can be given eyes closed with full confidence the right decisions will be taken".

And anyway, bar northern democracy, I think people are largely unprepared to wield power and the only argument I d present is that we can propose a compromise in exchange for policy buy in. We'll not yet, as a city, naturaly trend to long term benefit, but we should be trained to give a mild opinion, via voting, to the implementation quality of various policies. Just like in France where I was raised, which is an unbearable mess, but a mess we can say we chose.

So democracy why not, but we ll only reach optimum once Chinese people agree and implement the same thing: what s your strategy to actually make them do it ? Boycott the olympics and whine about Xinjian ?

> If 90% of Bitcoin’s energy use would be from renewables its CO2 footprint wouldn’t be 45x as large as that of Google.

Both Google (and Bitcoin) are optimizing for lower electrical costs - wherever that may be. Often this is associated with grids with hydroelectric power. Places like https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/the-dalle...

The point isn't "this is how much CO2 google and bitcoin produce" but rather using the metric of CO2 footprint as a proxy for energy consumption to compare Bitcoin to Google to Facebook.

Whatever Bitcoin's CO2 footprint is, overall Bitcoin is consuming about 45x more power than Google over the course of a year.
I backed a few Kickstarters where the creator just ran off with money and quit.

Their is a ton of pressure to over promise, take Code Hero.

I checked out the free demo and loved it enough to back it. Then the creator promised a bunch of infeasible things, like teaching you how to make an online game. The original goal , show off basic programming, was solid.

Right after the campaign ended, the project disappeared.

I'm working on my own game now. And while I might let people pay what they want for a demo of it, I'm not going to promise a bunch of stuff I can't realistically do in order to fundraise.

This gets complicated.

Barrett is both deeply Catholic and part of an organization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_of_Praise) that features aspects typically more in line with American evangelical Protestantism. The Catholic Church can be a surprisingly diverse group theologically; American bishops are frequently feuding with the Pope over issues like the death penalty and abortion.

American evangelicals didn't get in line behind Barrett and Kavanaugh on account of their Catholicism.
Exactly, on all points. For instance, I got hammered by COVID, and was almost useless for about 4 weeks. My boss was only concerned that I get better, and wasn't concerned that I go on some sort of short-term disability or FLMA. The person who wrote that article would have simply not paid me for that month, and not guaranteed work after I got better, which would have made the situation much more stressful, removed income at a time I needed it most to cover medical expenses, and added insult to injury. My company is very "woke," and I know a lot of people have problems with such things, but one very welcome outcome of this is that they really do put people first, and the bottom line second. In a pure gig economy, there's no chance of having a "human" relationship with your employer like this.
"Cheap iterations" led me to expect a 1st order method, not requiring computing the matrix of 2nd derivatives, which is the bottleneck in large systems. But this does indeed rely on the Hessian, so I'm not sure what makes the iterations "cheap".
> The question was how much does the financial system in your country use. So I picked a country to show an example. You then changed the question

Not really. I am saying consider that energy usage for traditional banking is also high. If you compare numbers then I believe it needs to be global or pro rata.

> It supports fewer transactions per second

I don't think this is a relevant comparison to be honest. The high energy usage of Bitcoin is not to handle transaction volume, but to secure the network and funds.

Payment cards is a secondary payment layer on top of the banking settlements. Bitcoin is more equivalent to bank settlements.

Second layer solutions for Bitcoin such as Bitcoin Lightning and crypto payment cards (Crypto.com, Coinbase etc) are more comparative to bank settled payment cards and can (and does) provide much higher transaction volumes for Bitcoin. Which also means that payment card energy usage should not be included in any comparison if done (imho).

Just as a side-note, Christmas lights in US used more energy than Bitcoin miners (at least a couple of years ago) and for sure more than a lot of countries. Bitcoin provides sound money for unbanked people all over the world. What would you rather have?

My opinions about cryptocurrency are derived from first principles.

My observations of the space have led me to draw parallels between anti-vaxxers and crypto advocates. I firmly believe crypto advocates are the anti-vaxxers of finance. Their positions similarly stem from a misunderstanding of the system and a strong distrust of authority.

> One has to wonder whether the Japanese would have thought up this strategy (or considered it feasible) had the Americans not practiced it and proved it for them.

I don't think one does. The imperial Japanese planning staff had strongly favored the doctrine of decisive battle since at least the Tsushima Strait, when it worked splendidly for them against the Russian imperial navy - a much weaker adversary than the US, true, but this was well understood and only made more pointed the need to immediately disable the US navy's ability to conduct significant operations in the intended sphere of Japanese imperial influence.

Too, it's not as if the Imperial Japanese general staff was anything less than world-class. The British made the mistake of assuming otherwise, even ignoring reports from their own observers that Japan needed to be taken seriously as an opponent. That mistake cost them Singapore and Malaya at the outset of the war, and depending on whose arguments you buy, eventually India as well. In light of that and other related history, it verges upon the absurd to repeat the mistake now.

(Really, it was entirely the other way around from what you're positing here; rather than the IJN taking a cue from US war games, we followed the Pearl Harbor attack with our entirely symbolic "Doolittle Raid" on Tokyo a year later.)

There is a helpful note here: https://huynp.com/optimization/2018/11/11/Fundamental-of-Unc...
There’s a school of thought that Pearl Harbor was intentionally left vulnerable in order to provide public justification for entering a war that it was pretty obvious we were getting drawn into anyway. The Nazis were vehemently anti-communist which means they had a significant amount of support within the US government, and overcoming that required an egregiously offensive violation of our national sovereignty (which Pearl Harbor provided).

The reason the financial system bubbles up then crashes is due to fractional reserve banking. Its what caused the the great depression. Its what caused the great recession. If fractional reserve banking and all its sneaky variants can't exist, and the value of a currency is static, immutable, with custody solely held by the person who owns it(not the bank, not some federal institutions), bubbles become impossible and thereby so do the crashes.

The current financial system has layered over the original concept of money so many things its unrecognizable to its natural form. Go back to where money originated, and you'll realize its an evolutionary necessity for social cooperation, a mediator of morality between selfish actors. Think about the natural formation of seashell necklaces, to the cigarette packs as money traded by prisoners, the rocks traded by penguins, the gold coins by the roman empire, to the nutrients traded by trees in mycelial networks. The control and manipulation of a currency is the perversion of the transfer of work between agents in an economic system. It corrodes the network and does not allow the system to function properly, and when that system fails to function, so do the moral obligations and contracts that the money represents. What happened in 2008 was a result of a system that can't fulfill its promise to uphold the necessary thermodynamic laws that should be maintained by an economic system.

The problem with real estate is its not divisible, its not consistent, and its not exactly fungible, but investors found ways to turn it into a tradeable asset class during the mortgage crisis.

Both kinda leave me stuck with windows. I could go windows at work and mac at home. But that would require me learning mac, trying to game on mac, replacing a self-build PC with either an M1 chip in a mac-mini / imac. Or with an actual laptop when I only really need a desktop.

All whilst I really like linux. I am stuck using either Windows or Windows and Mac.
Samsung has never had great build quality in my experience - they seem to focus on looks above all else, with throwaway hardware that never gets software updates.

You are spot on here. I encountered a short viral video on YouTube the other day which used the dislike removal to their advantage. It was a clickbait titled video with millions of views, and oddly there were only two supporting comments that had several thousand likes. The rest of the comments that probably called out the video being clickbait were obviously deleted. Usually I'm able to parse the comments quickly to see what the video is really about, then navigate somewhere else, but not this time... I watched until the end.
The thing about auto compared to Rust's inferred types is that when Rust isn't sure it won't infer anything and punts the problem back to you.

let sandwiches = inventory.filter(delicious_cheeses).map(make_sandwich).collect();

... won't compile because Rust can't infer what sort of container sandwiches is. Is it a vector? A list? Something custom?

When C++ can't be sure in some places auto is obligatory anyway, so, too bad, you get what you're given. There are rules for what you get, but you might have reasonably intended something else, and so the effect is surprising.
Indeed there are plenty of examples of suboptimal Apple designs.

2015 Retina MBP, the trackpad cable runs over the battery, and the heat from the battery means I have to replace the trackpad cable every 6-12 months.

Earlier Intel aluminum iMacs would literally toast the LCD if you ran Windows on them, because the fans wouldn't ramp up enough, even if you had all the Bootcamp drivers properly installed. Sometimes this would happen in MacOS also. Needed to run 3rd party fan control programs, or you'd end up seeing brown areas on the screen around where the CPU and GPU heatsinks were.

As far as enclosures go, yes Apple stuff is physically pretty sturdy.

There's plenty of horror to go around here. Both parties have committed atrocious crimes, and they plan on continuing to do so indefinitely. (Israel pays lip service to a two-state solutions, while the policy on Arab leaders everywhere is "destroy Israel". But eh, words.)

By (financially!) punishing only one side in this mess, you're rewarding the other side. Are you that certain this is the righteous path?

This is an approach for solving convex optimization problems. An optimization problem is when you want to find the best option, or the fastest, or the most profitable. If you're asking questions with superlatives (most, best, fastest), you may be working on an optimization problem.

Many optimization problems are NP Hard and cannot be solved in a reasonable amount of time. Convex optimization problems are a special subclass which can typically be solved efficiently (meaning in polynomial time).

This paper provides a new approach to solving Convex Optimization problems for systems where other methods struggle.

I'd love/hate getting erections that I cannot control.

Sex/touch just felt incredible as a teenager, when I could not control neither erections nor orgasm. I remember dancing with this girl in 8th grade, she had a green silk dress cut in the middle and she put her leg between mine, to this day I remember how that felt; once I was able to control erections/orgasm, it felt like I severed 80% of naughty tough sensations somewhere in in my brain.

I guess once you can control something, some magic is lost.
> isn't this sort of like saying smokers die younger on average because of misinformation? Fundamentally it's not true.

I mean... it largely is, surely? Most smokers today were also smokers when cigarette companies were allowed to misleadingly advertise their products, and when they were still loudly claiming that they were safe.

Enthusiasm for smoking in the generation born after cigarette advertising was largely eliminated is much lower.

> It's not ignorance, it's a difference of opinion, and its destructive to pretend that there is some universal version of "right"

There is... an objective reality here, though. Covid vaccines exist, they are safe, and they are extremely effective at preventing death. Like, there's not a huge amount of room for opinion here.
