More than a hedge against dysfunctional institutions, it hastens the downfall of those institutions by removing their leverage. Imagine if the US government had to collect more taxes and police the blockchains to enforce it instead of just printing money, it would push them to the brink. Grab your popcorn. Crypto is a self fulfilling prophecy of government failure.
It depends. There's plenty of hacked funds that are blacklisted and useless. Otherwise you typically go through a tumbler, and then use ineficent methods to cash out like buying gold bars at markup, selling for cheap to associates who will use services like localbitcoins/localmonero/giftcard buying. If you do get caught you can definitely expect legal troubles though.

The panic/choking feeling comes from a buildup of CO2 in the air and body, not lack of oxygen. We know from experiments/accidents that when CO2 saturation does not happen, people don't feel like they are choking or can't breath even if they are not getting any oxygen.
I second that. For me programming deals far more with literary concepts like metaphors and analogies rather than math ones(mostly logic). This becomes especially apparent once you start dealing with higher and higher level languages.

So reading and understanding good literature is important in my opinion and gives an edge in many fields later on, including programming.

I think a person who's had to live in chronic excruciating pain for years is not gonna give a shit what color the freaking capsule is, if this provides them a relatively painless way out of their never ending suffering then it's their goddamn choice.

It's not up to their family, and it's not up to their friends. They can't begin to understand the anguish that person is going through and frankly neither can you.
i keep the code for CPython, Go, terraform and the terraform providers i use checked out. It is still useful and educational to read source code. i confess i only rarely check out the kernel or glibc code. kernel code is good but usually not the issue glibc has the tendency to make me mad.

Epstein is a nothing burger .

He was the one pursuing people in finance and politics, not the other way around . And it appears it was the case also for late Senator Dole

Also if you believe he was some modern day mastermind of Hitler-esque fashion …then taking money from him was always the right thing to do .

Less money at his disposal and when he comes knocking for an illegal favor you can always tell him to f*k off given that you have already spent the money to get in office or in Bill Gates’ case to ship vaccines to subsaharan Africa

Couldn't this be interpreted very broadly though? Like if you write your own web server, programming language, optimisation tool, build tool, CMS, CRM etc. they could likely find a use for these within their business.

The post office is unfortunately vulnerable to political pressure. Both from their unions, and from the federal government.

Imagine the nightmare of Pete Buttigieg sending down dictates to the post office as he tries to build political career. Look at what’s happening in CA right now: just park the ships far enough offshore that you can’t see them and then claim the problem is solved because there aren’t as many ships waiting, charge the people who are already losing money because they can’t get their containers out of the port fines, and punish them further, claiming this as a political win because it punishes the businesses.

Absolutely no thank you. This is an actual problem that needs real solutions, not politicians grubbing power.
Chaining together applications like that is a great concept. But we should take it further in this case day and age with more structured input/output, like what Elvish and PowerShell does.

Presumably there's a "cancel" button, for if you change your mind before you lose consciousness.
Uh no, this is (one reason) why you want to use a (well written) decentralized exchange.

>is like giving people ACH access

I use ACH, I know nothing about it, and I'm sure I can lose all my money from using it wrong, as banks love systems that are impossible to operate securely. I don't have this problem with bitcoin, and never will.

As for the tech side, you know nothing. The bugs are simply because of the demographics behind decentralized tech:

- Before snowden: script kiddies, slightly educated hobbyists

- After snowden: all kinds of idiots

> Crypto Anarchy is a farce

Your post is a farce. Wanting basic control over your own money (and removing horrible bank insecurity and UX as a side effect) is not anarchy or anything remotely resembling it. Your post only sounds reasonable from the perspective of $current_world which is basically hyperstatist, people are literally afraid to have sex and cross the street without government approval.

I think we 100% agree. Thanks for elaborating. I am including banks/exchanges in the set of things that need regulation. I understand the way I worded my comment implies retail did something wrong, that was not the intention. I was more tying to highlight that this stuff is important and there’s a reason people lean on 3rd party entities to help them manage and trade their assets—it’s too complex to do alone for most. So we’re gonna need L2 institutions that handle large amounts of consumer assets and so we’re going to need to impose regulatory requirements surrounding e.g. key storage and access. Deploy root-chain-enforced multi-signature requirements, perhaps entertain transaction revocation for sufficiently large sums, etc.
If you work inside these companies, you quickly realize that the amount of work is far greater than the amount of people to do the work, and triage is always happening. The bigger the company gets, the more there is to do.
> Do you have an example of this happening in this thread?

This thread doesn't say this outright, but these basically says the same thing:

- "We had fax machines before we had email. You could have said..."

- "I don't think knee jerk dismissal is the right stance to take."

> You seem to be agreeing with my point about how the value of a decentralized solution is a fundamental disagreement.

No, I don't agree. Your original quote is:

"But this is why critics will never see any use cases as valid, because they fundamentally disagree that the thing blockchains do (decentralized coordination) is valuable."

Critics do not disagree that decentralized coordination is valuable. Decentralized coordination is an interesting and complex topic.

We will never see any use cases as valid because none of the provided use cases are valid because of either or both of these:

- a staggering amount of issues introduced by using blockchains. Because the people proposing blockchains have little to no understanding of what the real world needs

- solutions already exist that provide the same thing faster, better, and with significantly more guarantees than any blockchain solution. First and foremost because none of the moving parts in the solution actually have a need for a blockchain

All this has nothing to do with the "value of distributed coordination". Blockchain is a distributed append-only ledger. Give me a use-case for that, and I, as a critic, will say: yup, a valid use case. If you're saying "yes, litigation funding needs blockchain because crypto and decentralized", I will come at you with criticism, and will ask you to prove that bringing blockchain into the equation actually improves things or solves any significant number of issues.
These hacks won't stop until people understand they don't need to / they mustn't keep their coins in an exchange. Single click trading looks pretty appealing to many, but that's not how things should work. The whole idea of transaction fee is a corrupted idea supported by cybercriminals turned into startups.
> A centralized exchange is the exact opposite of "running your own bank".

I assume the argument is that if a large company with this much money on the line can't figure out how to securely run a bank, how would I be able to?

I disagree with that argument, though, as I think it is in fact the large amount of money on the line managed by a large number of people that makes running an exchange difficult.

Building up the cache at launch/dynamic link time does have a performance hit of a few ms, but if you know it will save you many runtime checks it can be worth it. Definitely makes sense for the runtime to have the lazy behavior built in. Hopefully the dyld cache will help get the best of both solutions by persisting a cache across multiple launches.
That actually seems like an excellent design?
OK, because we have patterns of behavior, we do this and that, we do not do this and do not do that when we are in a clear state of mind[1]. Now, to make it usable for AI, we have to define what these behaviors are that you do and do not do that makes you be in a clear state of mind. It is not enough to give an exhaustive list, or use heuristics; you have to consider the context as well.

Sure, humans might do it in a more or less accurate way, but could an AI? If it could, would you please tell me how? I really am curious[2], I work at the hospital.

Oh, about working at the hospital: a patient has been deemed aggressive when in fact it is just her voice and looks and whatnot that makes it seem like she is aggressive. She is not actually aggressive in any way, she just looks and sounds as if she were. The moment you have a discussion with her, you would be able to tell that she is not aggressive at all. How would an AI deal with this, if even humans cannot? You also have to consider that these behaviors are heavily influenced by the environment and changes in environment that one has to consider.

[1] Mind you, there are cultural differences at play here as well. There are some behaviors that would consider you "not in a clear state of mind" in one culture, but not in another.

[2] I am also wondering if an AI would be able to determine if a person has dementia based on behavior alone.
I don’t support Mould King copying Lego sets and MOCs. That’s bad and not ethical. But that’s how industry works. Mould King has original sets now and okayish brick quality. They will probably get more original sets and increase brick quality even more. Then there are Mega Blocks mentioned by others.

100€ brick set is expensive compared to average monthly salary of 2000€. That’s roughly average in Germany. And probably half week’s pay in FAANG in US.
I agree; if you have a food processor I can also recommend just making your own. It takes ~10 minutes a batch (though cleaning the machine by hand is a bit annoying, a dishwashing machine does it easily). You can make it taste exactly how you want and never have to deal with oil separation again.

Most hold that life has value, and the desire to continue living t9 be axiomatic. There are very few cases where suicide may be considered a rational choice, and in those cases it is difficult to determine that the choice was made of their own free will, and not pressured into it by lazy family, doctors or government (dictating available treatments, providing appropriate pallative care, etc).

You mean, run an 'application' on a 'server'. Maybe we should call it.. an application server.

And have it 'operate' it directly on hardware with only a minimal 'system' layer for common operations.

I feel old.
That's true in engineered systems. It happens because when you make many copies of a thing and use them for a while, all the simple failure modes get worked out.

But societies aren't like that. The world didn't make N copies of the bronze age Mediterranean. If, as Drews suggests, the collapse was a near-deterministic consequence of the overshadowing of expensive chariot-based centralized armies by armored sword bearing infantry forces, then it would have occurred the first time this technology came out (and it became widely known that previously protected rich cities were ripe for the sacking by Joe Conan and friends.)

Even if it is policy, they can probably have a better lockout page or make it 'disabled' but still let you login to talk to support, get records, etc to fix things. AFAIK it's a complete lockout.
In theory it's possible to let your dapp run forever, hogging resources from the network and "breaking" the system.

But that would cost you such a large amount of money that no one does it.

In other words, the system, while breakable in theory, isn't in practice because of a set of economic incentives (or as it were, dis-incentives in this case).
Free's €2 per month is probably one of the best mobile deal in the world :). Beware though, last I checked using their SIM card in something not a mobile phone was against Fred's ToS. I don't know if it have since changed.
Nice idea, naive implementation which leads to the output being unconvincing as hypothetical English words. I had a brief look and it seems to be proportionally selecting and sticking together sequences of letters sampled from English words (lib/word-probability.ts). This doesn't take into account syllable boundaries, the way the English spelling system maps between phones/phonemes and the phonotactic properties of English which is why the output looks unconvincing.

A better approach would be to use a markov chain built from sampling English text letter-by letter... an even better approach would be to build your stats from some source of English words in IPA transcription with syllable boundaries etc marked, then map from IPA to spelling via some kind of lookup table. We use a similar process in reverse in my research group for building datasets for doing Bayesian phylogenies of language families

A "wrong death rate of several percent" sounds problematic in almost any circumstance.
Consider: When you share a profoundly personal feeling, and a stranger openly states "I know nothing about you or your situation, but you're wrong".
Some do. Some don't. It is very hard to generalize here.

I personally don't really think that a person, who is making that a leap and decide and stop existing, has a 'clear' mind. It may be an objectively rational decision ( and frankly, I believe it is up to each of us to make that decision ), but I would be hard-pressed to argue that 'this individual, who I find of sound mind opted for the chair'. There is a reason society has certain level of concern for those that try and fail.

It is possible that I do not have enough of a population sample, but I personally see it as part of an effort way to keep world population control at certain level. Before anyone accuses me of tin-foiling, I mean it in the same sense as that there are efforts to prevent suicides by means of suicide prevention hotlines.

I guess what I am saying, as a society, we are grappling with with two competing interests:

1. We care about certain individuals and we don't want them gone from our life.
2. We care about certain individuals and we want them to have control over their own body.
Strange, most the words I saw looked Greek or Latin
Your first response made multiple strong claims and tried to state what my stance was with an explicit example. If you didn't know the context then you shouldn't have started with strong claims you didn't know the truth of. In addition, my original post made no claim of the legality of this situation and neither did you make any claims until this post. I merely claimed that this was a petty thing to do.

Trying to twist out of statements you made yourself and trying to play the victim when not winning an argument doesn't make for a useful conversation.
Yeah, well that's your opinion. I don't think that you know what you're talking about. At any rate, my point isn't about whether crypto-currency deposits backed by fractional reserves are legal or illegal. My point is that the idea that there is a fixed supply of bitcoins is a lie, a marketing narrative to fool gullible idiots into thinking that the price of bitcoin can only go up. And my answer to that is to say that is 1) it's not true that a limited supply ensures that the price can only go up, and 2) it's not true that the supply of bitcoin is fixed, because financial institutions can create additional bitcoins via fractional reserves, and because as a consequence of international trade the supply of bitcoins in different economic areas would fluctuate (sometimes wildly) creating periods of inflation and deflation, just like it happened during the gold standard.
These stories always bring back that anxiety I got as a teenager when I read Kafka's "The Trial". You're guilty and being punished but we won't tell you why, what you did, and there's no way to appeal. Back then, I found comfort in the thought that this kind of thing wouldn't happen in the modern Western world. Boy was I wrong.

What are some examples of well-written decentralized exchanges?
What a neat slogan. Also misleading.

Life itself temporary, hence the death-is-permanent thing. Hence all things in life—pain, happiness, pleasure, suffering—are temporary. Suicide is just the shortening of all of these possible states (or potential states—for the hopeful). Thus a shortening of a bunch of temporary states.

Doesn’t sound as menacing and dramatic when you put it like that. And it’s equally true.
I'm curious on others' takes, but that's around the time the FPS genre got playable by modern standards. Any earlier and you'd have 2.5-d, low-resolutions, or bad textures.

The canonical example of hard money failing is the Great Depression. You had a demand shock, and deflation contributed to that. If you had money, you had less motivation to spend it.

Once you gain the power to debase the currency on demand, it lights a fire under people's behinds-- I've got to turn those dollars into goods and services now!

There are definitely real-world examples of currency with an explicit expiration date or that required maintenance fees (i.e. Alberta's Prosperity Certificates) to boost the circulation rate.

I suspect the problem is that we're stuck with the current economic machine on a high level. We don't have facilities to keep the population fed and housed without the side effects of a lot of consumer spending churn.

If you had a partially planned economy to deliver those basics, then you could switch to a harder currency, because an economic slowdown wouldn't head to avoidable mass starvation or homelessness.
>USB 4 basically implements Thunderbolt 3 inside the USB spec, making it a requirement for all USB 4 controllers

That is not true. The support of Thunderbolt 3 is optional under USB4 spec. Along with a few other nitpick that is not entirely accurate. But it gets the point across

And its time to tell the unpopular story again. ( Because USB-C Supporters hate it )

Trying to help a lawyer out and trying to explain why the $5.00 USB-C cable he'd bought from Amazon wasn't delivering 4K video to his expensive monitor AND powering his laptop too.

Me: OK: so its a USB-C cable, but its not a high data rate USB-C cable.

Him: But, its a USB-C Cable.

Me: but, no, not all USB-C cables are high speed cables. And some of them can't do high speed and power delivery

Him: but... its a USB-C cable: it plugs into the port.

Me: Um... just because it plugs in, doesn't mean its going to work. You can have USB-C cables that are actually slower than the old USB ports.

Him: but.... shouldn't it just work?

And so on. For... 15? more minutes? maybe 30? I finally got him to buy a "proper" belkin USB-C cable .

This basically sums up everything that is wrong with Tech thinking vs User Thinking.
