Despite your guarded opening, I think your stance is overly equivocal. There isn't a strong "both sides" argument when one side engages in death threats and doxxing while the other merely produces subpar products. Would you consider your opinions reasonable if consumers targeted the same vitriol at the manufacturer of a faulty appliance?
> Question makes more sense flipped on his head: if you think everything that looks a little bit like a telecoms network in terms of having lots of participants obeys Metcalfe's law, then why aren't actual Ponzi schemes actually extremely valuable to participate in?

Yeah, good point there. I think the thing with a Ponzi scheme, the way I see it, is that I can't transfer a share of that Ponzi scheme across the world, 24/7. I could only hold it, and if it is a Ponzi scheme, it would eventually collapse. I do see value in the monetary transfer aspect to crypto as well, so that's part of it, and I personally don't think crypto will collapse, at least not Bitcoin, Ethereum, and probably several of the other major ones. The rest, I have no idea, and maybe some of those other altcoins could be considered Ponzi schemes. Definitely some of the altcoins are pump and dump schemes, if not Ponzis, and definitely some altcoins will collapse. I just don't think applying Ponzi scheme to the entire crypto ecosystem is fair.

Also, sorry, I edited the comment you responded to, so it changed a bit. I do wonder what you think about the ceiling I mentioned, in regards to that there's only 21 million Bitcoin ever going to be created, and that's not enough for everyone in the world to have even one full Bitcoin. If interest grows, and population continues to grow, then how would a ceiling ever be hit? I don't see that as a Ponzi scheme, I see that as interest in a scarce asset, that you can't make more of, while we are in an inflationary period, with governments printing money all around the world. Just wondering if you have any thoughts on that.

The way I'm thinking about it is that some people may want to hold Bitcoin forever, and just loan it out, to put it to use, while also having a deflationary asset in their portfolio.
Depends on the proof you’re looking for. There are convincing arguments but it depends on what will satisfy you. How could I prove JFK was assassinated? Well there are mountains of proof, including video evidence. But what of that existed in 33 ad? Well we do have some evidence but it’s not as numerous as history produced today. Looking at the time period though, there is some pretty good evidence of what happened, but at the end of the day it is a conviction that only you can come to. Through my own research and experience I am convinced that he did, and through what I believe he has done in my life. But I realize that is not sufficient for some. Not even God himself was able to convince some of his divinity. I recommend the youtube video I linked, it’s a homily by a bishop about the historicity of Jesus. Not too lengthy.

1. Using SIMD can be a big win, so yes.

2. SIMD (vectorization) is not the only optimization your compiler can do, the compiler has a model of the processor so it can pick the right instructions and lay them out properly with as many tricks as they can describe generically.

3. Compilers have PGO. Use it (if you can). Compilers without PGO are a bit like an engine management unit with no sensors - all the gear, no idea. The compiler has to assume a hazy middle-of-the-road estimate of what branches will be exercised, whereas with PGO enabled your compiler can make the cold code smaller, and be more aggressive with hot code etc. etc.
Biontech research team based in Germany partnered with America for logistics and to get wider testing samples, the development work was done in Germany.

The Oxford-AZ vaccine developed at Oxford university by a British-Swedish company AZ traded on the FTSE, not sure where America is involved there.

The Janssen vaccine (J+J) was developed in Leiden, Netherlands, although the company is owned by an American company.

Moderna was developed in the US.

The actual work for most of those vaccines was done in Europe. With the exception of Morderna, America was there as the money men. Whoppee. Not really surprising, the best minds in America are figuring out how to get us to click on another youtube video to consume an advert, or to create a new financial derivative to gamble with peoples pensions more.

The award per bug started at US$2.56 (one "hexadecimal dollar"[41]) and doubled every year until it was frozen at its current value of $327.68. ... Due to scammers finding scanned copies of his checks on the internet and using them to try to drain his bank account, Knuth no longer sends out real checks, but those who submit bug reports can get credit at The Bank of San Serriffe instead.

Yes, I'm not sure that CLRS "Introduction to Algorithms" is approachable for everyone without prior exposure to formal CS concepts, notation, etc. My undergrad CS curriculum used "Algorithms in Java" by Sedgewick during our freshman year while we learned to write our first programs. We didn't use CLRS until a more in-depth algorithms class during our junior year. I read much more of CLRS in a graduate-level algorithms class.

> Frustrating how the best software engineers can't compete with a hardware company (Apple Inc).

Allowing for a moment for a moment the premise that Google has the best software engineers, the company seems to be structured to ensure they output mediocre work. Awful performance, poor to terrible UX, poor documentation, weird or ill-advised implementations of public-facing interfaces (say, libraries), et c. There are exceptions, but "high quality software" is not something I associate with Google.

Crypto loans are generally cheaper than traditional personal loans and credit cards and obviously require no credit checks. That to me is where it all stops. The volatility makes borrowing crazy scary to me. Getting margin-called when the market tanks and having a couple of days to prop up your original collateral is not for the faint of heart. With that said, this doesn't seem to deter some. I know some folks who borrowed against their crypto to fund certain investments with recurring revenue which end up paying for the loan.
This approach will meet bigger resistance.

The strength of capitalism is competition and freedom of innovation. Use new things to replace old things are the most constructive approach.
> It seems like the vast majority of the world is trying to get in.

This is a common trope but only kinda-sorta true.

It's definitely true that there is no sign of mass exodus. Net immigration number remain positive (3% ish) but they are well below historic highs, and currently declining YoY. See e.g. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/net-...

It's interesting I think that per capita Canada (e.g. another "new world" immigration target) has fairly consistently been much higher, and is currently near 2x. The approx 10x population size dwarfs this in total numbers though (https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/CAN/canada/net-migrati...)

I also think turning our schools into jails for young people doesn't help. It was dystopic during my time in school and it has somehow gotten even worse.

Most schools at this point are also running on fumes. It is constant triage and really exists as day-care more than actual education for many students.

My experience growing up: You sit in a room full of other young people while listening to a burned-out teacher drone on for 8 hours a day. 9 hours if you want to do extracurricular. Add on organized sports, homework, volunteering, standardized test prep, and all the other things you need to do to get into a good college these days, and what time are young people actually supposed to create things?

Personally, I am tired after 8 hours of a pretty great job every day. Imagine how exhausting SCHOOL is.
It doesn't do any diffing, but keeps track of operations underneath, and syncs those. The gist is something like this:
- if you push a string "hello" to an array, it will sync an update [push "hello" to Array x] along with some metadata
- if you modify a property "prop" and set it to "value" it will sync an update [set "prop" to "value"] along with some metadata

It will not automatically diff these with the previous value (in a distributed system it's difficult to say what the "previous value" was, but it will sync only those properties that have been changed). For text heavy operations, you can use the Text structure which will sync fine-grained operations ([delete 4 characters at position 2] or [insert "world" at position 5]). This makes it suitable for collaborating on rich text documents (similar to Google Docs), see: https://syncedstore.org/docs/advanced/richtext.

James Carville said, on PBS News Hour, that defunding the police was a losing strategy, which effectively told the voters where the establishment (even the left-leaning establishment) stands.

US politics are conservative. The "left" is middling-at-best.

There's also the concern of how police react to the "defund" movement. There have been a ton of accusations that the police slow down on purpose when their budgets get threatened because an increase in visible "crime" (in quotes because I don't think homelessness should be criminalized, but seems to be the underlying factor of a lot of what gets called crime near where I live) gets all sorts of people to call for an increase in funding.
It would be a tautological argument for its addition to the list of controlled substances. Like so, "It's a narcotic because it's a controlled substance and it's a controlled substance because it's a narcotic." Calling it a narcotic is not helpful.

I do wish you would stop taking jabs at me personally.
Ponzi's scheme was that early investors got paid with the buy-in from the later investors, out to infinity, and the early investors crowing about how much money they made generated the hype for the later investors to buy in, and overall no value was added to the world to support any of this, it was exclusively a money-funnel from lots of late people to a few early people. It makes no sense to talk about USD being a Ponzi scheme because you can't exchange your $100 USD for someone else's $2000 USD, and later they exchange it for $4000 USD from people excited to pay $4000 USD for $100 USD in the hope they can sell $100 USD for $8000 USD in future. It's clearly madness. Anyone would pay approximately $100 USD for your $100 USD, all other things being equal (no money laundering, no additional services wink wink, and not thinking about century timescales where historic value or inflation comes into it, etc).

While "wealth begets wealth" in many ways such as compound interest, simply holding $100 USD from years ago doesn't by itself give you any advantage over people in the present day. Holding BitCoin from 2012 does give you advantage over people in the present day, and that advantage comes not from any value BitCoin itself generates, but from the present day buyers seeing the increase in money the 2012 buyers got for no effort, and wanting part of it, so throwing more money at it than the 2012 buyers did. Quantitative Easing isn't a Ponzi scheme because you don't buy Quantitative Easing hoping you can sell your Quantititative Easing for more to new people interested in the hype of Quantitative Easing.

Exchanging USD for steel, fashioning it into a steel bolt, and exchanging the bolt for more USD, is not a Ponzi scheme. Buying shares in a company, the company making steel bolts and becoming more valueable, and your share of it becoming more valuable, is not a Ponzi scheme. Exchanging USD for one BitCoin, then exchanging one BitCoin for significantly more USD, where that extra USD comes from the other person, who doesn't value the BitCoin but only hopes the BitCoin will increase in value in future, makes it very much like a Ponzi scheme.

You can grow flowers in your garden, you can find someone to exchange their company shares for your flowers, that doesn't make flowers a currency. You can declare that USD is a currency with an army behind it, that doesn't make it a Ponzi scheme.

The open question is whether BitCoin can get enough buy-in from people wanting to cash out for free money to generate a secondary market of people exchanging BitCoin for goods and services, large enough that when no more people want to buy in for the free-money aspect, people still want to buy-in for the practical use cases. Since most of the practical and legal use cases are well served by USD, the faff of exchanging USD for BitCoin to buy bolts and lose consumer protections instead of exchanging the USD for bolts seems value removing, not value adding.

I was a sysadmin for 15 years, 1997-2012. My routine was fairly simple

1. Show up, and make sure the servers are still working
2. Check email, see if there are any fires to put out
3. Check Backups, make sure they worked
4. Rounds of the office, make sure nobody has any smaller issues to clear up
5. Work on other long term stuff, fix issues, etc.

Over time, 5 went from being a full time job, to almost zero work. Eventually they didn't need a full time sysadmin any more.
> Adults should be held accountable for their actions.

Great, we agree! Tesla and its managers and owners should be held liable then for adding distractions. Because humans are not being rational computers, but biological beings that very much react to incentives. Also see "dark patterns" and "marketing", all the many ways to trick human brains often into doing things against their own rational interest (like spending money they don't have for things they don't need).

That only the final person doing something is 100% responsible for all their actions only works for humans with no history and living in an isolation chamber.

I know that that could raise the made-up counter-argument "nobody is accountable for their actions", but acknowledging what is does not prevent society from judging actions. You can do both, judge individual actions but also recognize that incentives and the bigger picture matters. You can punish individual actions such as murderer (random example) and still do something to lower the rate at which they occur.

So anyone getting distracted sure can be held accountable - but we can also do something in advance that the number of such cases is lowered.
>AFAIK bacterial infections are in-practice often only suspected not confirmed before prescribing anti-biotics so why emphasize this?

It does happen but is a HUGE problem in medicine. This doesn't mean this is the CORRECT procedure and exactly what I am talking about. Infection should be confirmed and correct antibiotic used. Plus, not all infections require antibiotics.

>Like I said I think you are ignoring other incentives (Malpractice Risk, Bias for action etc.) at play that cause a Physician to look at the same situation and come to a more aggressive treatment plan than your armchair diagnosis.

By not following guidelines and prescribing wrong medication or when medication does not help a specific problem the physician is a lot more likely to be sued if patient suffers from side effects.

I would personally de-recommend Python. It essentially has no unique paradigm or even one that it does really well. I'd replace the Python suggestion with an ML-dialect such as F# or Ocaml. I agree with you though. I think everyone needs a bit of experience with a Lisp/Scheme, an ML dialect, a Smalltalk, Elixir/Erlang, Prolog, and Forth.

And I think it's better to think in paradigms rather than languages in that you choose a new language to learn a new paradigm.

The creator of CUPS does still work on CUPS. He had to fork the repo in order to keep working on CUPS after Apple didn't accept any patches and added only a single commit to CUPS in the course of an entire year.

Totally, but it solves the problem we're discussing. A stable store of value open to anyone. Blockchain is literally just a distributed database. An implementation detail.
Also maybe formal and symbolic logic. I don't have a CS degree, but I had a class where we, as a class, created an entire analogue symbolic logic language from scratch and it's by far one of the classes that's had the most value for me when doing any kind of tech/dev work. No idea how/if that's approached in CS programs, though...

Not all idempotent automation operations need heavy weight centralized state management like a deployed Chef server... Ansible has a lot less boiler plate in many scenarios. Indeed this is exactly why Chef even have 'chef-solo'/local mode to let you avoid having a Chef Server at runtime:

https://docs.chef.io/chef_solo/

While its a matter of opinion and will depend on problem you are trying to solve, I've found teams get productive on Ansible a lot faster and Chef Cookbooks often end up requiring significant maintenance. I have similar complaints with Puppet too.

My biggest complaint with Chef is that its DSL so closely resembles Ruby that developers often assume the code in the cookbook is executed as pure Ruby rather than a DSL conversion; the transcoding phase in Chef is pretty complex and can lead to lots of debug head scratching.

You can produce a boatload of a junk vaccine like Sinovac, that doesn't reflect much of anything, other than low standards, possibly. Objectively speaking, Moderna is the best vaccine out there and was one of the first. That doesn't even take into account the fact that it's the first vaccine of it's kind, mRNA, which will likely lead to tons of other good vaccines.
For some reason I could count on getting into that state fairly regularly when I went home to visit my parents and slept on a slightly uncomfortable spare bed in their house. The exact reason is a bit of a mystery to me. I suspect a mixture of factors come together to make it more likely.
Ahh I see. I’d probably consider selling my house cheaper to tenants if they’re good.

> Is this true? I thought there was a complex system of clearing houses, record updates, etc. a lot of which is done manually? Am I wrong?

Blockchain is a database. Records at a bank are a database. There's no reason you can't just execute a SQL transaction to deduct from one and increment the other haha. That's not the slow part.

That's why every one of the systems I mentioned supports real-time 24/7 transfers: SEPA, FPS, NPP, Interac, RTP, FedNow, ISO20022. Not a blockchain in sight. Amazing right?

> It’s possible to build a lot of stuff to handle things like KYC in a way that’s better because of crypto tech.

It does not address KYC at all. KYC is built on top at the CEX level. If you have some concrete non-speculative way you think this is true, please share.

> I guess we’ll see how it shakes out, but for better or worse I’m betting against you.

I seriously doubt you're betting against me haha.

[edit] Any the reason settlement hasnt been addressed sooner is because thanks to the magic optimization of centralization and trust, you can just borrow the capital until settlement happens. I mean think about it, equity settlement is T+2 but yet somehow HFTs exist?

Remember the golden rule of blockchain: except in the case of regulatory arbitrage, grift and crime, if you think a blockchain is a better solution to a problem than any classical solution - you either don't know enough about crypto or you don't know enough about the problem.
