Exactly, this sounds like such a grown-up way to wind down a working relationship! I'm sure you'll stay in touch with that person and perhaps even refer people in their direction in the future.
I feel like people sometimes say things like that, but it always ends up sounding naive.

The state has tanks and drones that rain death and destruction from the sky. What could the crypto people possibly do to counter that?

> It's not clear what bitcoin is providing

It's pretty clear:

1. A way to store value without it being stolen by governments.

2. A secure way to pay without the fees and limitations that banks and governments impose on us.

3. A way to freely speculate

In summary: It's providing financial freedom. If you prefer financial slavery, that's fine, you can still have your fiat money.

If emissions are too high, then let's increase emission taxes.
While many of the replies in this thread adequately explain why I dislike stock grants (taxes, needing to setup autosell or manually sell in a trading window, etc.) the one thing that I think is also important is that I really am not trying to get rich. If I’m at an established company, the gains or losses will probably be modest with some exception, and if I’m at a startup, it is undoubtedly very risky. But while I would never work towards making less money for the sake of making less, I would like to optimize for quality of life, simplicity, saving time, etc. and I feel base salary is often reasonable enough to handle most of my needs. If I wanted to invest, I’d rather do it myself. I don’t usually invest much, though.

I do tolerate RSUs, but it’s not the allocation I’d make given the choice.
On the one hand, yeah the "controversy" here seems rather dumb. It's banned from a website where people compare their typing speeds, big whoop. And the discussion about its possible advantage in games like Smash is similarly stupid, seeing as there already are similar controllers.

On the other hand, it admittedly seems like it could be a nice development in consumer stenography. I'm only aware of open-source stuff like Plover, which I never got around to trying.

I admit that if the sensationalism and fake drama were stripped, the article would probably read like a product endorsement. So I guess me saying, "I'm OK with ads if they're cool" is itself a dumb defense.
Yeah, even when you are unemployed a 10 hour take-home is a bit abusive. I had to bow out on one take home that would have cost me actual money to set up a development environment with all the ancillary software, plus the three separate programs in three different languages. LOL, no, I'm not going to spend cash on AWS to set up a dev cluster with paid software.
> I would be inclined to agree that the impact of even computers and internet on the recognizability of everyday life is less than that of eg. telephony and airplanes.

Remember when we needed to go to a payphone to tell our parents we were in the mall and to ask them to pick us up? And that they had no way to phone us while we weren't home?
Nope definitely not.
You may find it odd because Americans for the most part don't actually have a problem with "military puppet states", if certain aspects of freedom and human rights are agreeable and pass their muster.

Feel free to look at the differences in health and life outcomes for North vs South Koreans, while entirely obscuring the systems of government, and you will see why the North Koreans are reviled throughout most of the rational/non-psychopathic world.
I suspect the background is that the others do not want to face the death of one of their pals. Without some evidence, I doubt someone unconscious would die from a "he ain't gonna make it" - it's at least as likely his mates want to do something positive. Kind of a superstition that if they give him up, he'll die.

But if taking a breath is too much of an effort, one may well remain unheard.
I think the 'no more opportunity' point was largely correct. America is now developed in much the way England was in 1922. It does mean the limitless opportunity of 100 years ago is gone for the vast majority. But it also means the majority are far wealthier than they were. As he predicts, people only work 7-8 hours a day now, and often only 5 days a week. 50-60 hours a week was the norm in 1920. But at the same time, people do feel that lack of opportunity.

For a prediction made 100 years out, I'd call it dead accurate.
When this sort of stuff happens, you should have a paper trail that you can point to call out this kind of BS. This is why story grooming, sprint planning, and documentation are your friends and not some useless chore—they keep people accountable.

It is interesting, but the extent of "pretend" is just to swap "Ada Lovelace" and "I". I wonder what would happen if you asked "What do you know about Alan Turing?"
You can get the NYT literally delivered to your door in completely offline form. I used to pick up a copy to read during lunch at work, back before smartphones.

At any rate, the ecological problems caused by making banknotes are obviously minuscule compared to those caused by fashion, crypto mining, and many other industries.
But then you end up with just one layer, so you lose out on any caching and sharing you might have gotten. Whether this matters is of course very context dependent, but there are times when it'll cost you space.
I'd advise against this. In many companies HR sides with management if he works for one of these companies HR could even report what you say to them directly to your manager. Be very very careful about this.
For the record, ELIZA does have a short term memory, but it is only used as a fallback, when other rules fail to match. (E.g., in productions like, "Earlier you said *" or "What else comes to your mind when you think of *" by the famous DOCTOR rules set.)

ELIZA/DOCTOR manages somewhat to succeed with this, because it pretends a setting, where there are no outside references at all, beyond the very limited purpose of carrying on with a conversation that is meant to explore internal subjects in ever-shifting context. (You could say, the shift in context is the actual progress and success of the conversation, while having to pick up an earlier thread actually marks a point of failure.) Outside of this restrictive setting, the shortcomings of the absence of a consistent world model become obvious very soon.
I would be interested in learning more about that. I have been in discussion with Chainanalysis and other companies.
We are building an app / risk management process for average investors in crypto and NFTs. Think about a very secure wallet, with cold storage, and a near real time app that would trigger an alert if you are transferring crypto to a wallet tagged as high risk.
We are building a database of what we call good/bad wallet addresses. Just created wallet? Flagged, transaction may be delayed 12 or 24 hours,etc...
Can we be wrong? Of course and in that case we would insure that/you would get reimbursed.
Example: somebody hacked into your wallet as you were seeking help on discourse, got the QR code, tries to transfer the funds to a new wallet. Bang, transaction on hold and you have to approve it.
Any of you working on a list of dubious wallet addresses?
In this case, companies will need to "negotiate" with each other, by outbidding each other for top (or at least in-demand) talent. That will set the rates, instead of the current system of imperfect information that works mostly against employees. Let management be the one that worries about offering attractive salaries, rather than the much-less-powerful job seekers.

Some extra laws might be required, such as forbidding and heavily fining companies that are shown to be acting like a cartel when setting salaries. At the very least, if salary offers are public, salary fixing conspiracies (of the type several Silicon Valley companies were fined for) will be much harder to pull off again.
Our society is so disenfranchised from tech that we can't type "reinstall" or "reset" into the search + follow prompts anymore.

> Why would I ever willingly buy a vehicle that I’m not fully in control of and that can force me to pull over whenever it wants?

I drive a 20-year-old car because I can't stand the tiny windows, high hoods, giant A-pillars, and high seating positions on new cars. Modern safety regulations mean that I can't buy a new car with my preferred seating position and good forward visibility.

The bad news is, time exists. My car is 22 years old, but in 10 years it'll be 32 years old. All the other sedans with good forward visibility will be 30+ years old, too. Old cars get rusty and dry-rotted, and eventually they get scrapped.

The government doesn't need to force you into a car that takes away your privacy and agency- time will do the job for them.
The more things change the they stay the same.

It's really interesting to read this, genuinely prescient, starkly logical analysis that seems quite liberal and self-aware while also deeply soaked in un-acknowledged bias.

The time this was written was around the peak of the suffrage movement a couple years after the 19th amendment. That, perhaps, contributes to the placating tone in the author's description of how little progress the movement will have made by 2022.

I think especially noteworthy is the apparent blind spot towards the speed of information. He spends a lot of space articulating the physical characteristics of a City of Tomorrow but no consideration of what it might mean to quickly and easily read anything that has ever been published.

Really interesting article.

EDIT: Another note regarding his whole segment on work, production and leisure: he seems to only conceive of work as labor. Where, for example, an additional hour spent shoveling coal means another hour's worth of shoveled coal while forgetting to consider the possibility of "critical thinking" production where an additional hour spent working does not necessarily mean an additional hour spent being productive. A good prediction here would have touched on what careers in more "creative" production might look like.
(Multi-)Paxos and Raft are incredibly similar. I would even argue that Raft is just a variant of Paxos in the same way that e.g. Fast Paxos and EPaxos are variants of Paxos. Most of the Raft algorithm is identical to the Paxos algorithm. The main difference between the two algorithms is how leadership election works. In my view the main reason why Raft is considered to be simpler is because it was presented in a really clear paper. Paxos becomes equally simple when using a similar representation as used in that paper. See this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.05074

They increase stiffness. You hit the keys with the hard nail instead of the squishy flesh of your fingers, which reduces jitter and improves timing accuracy.

It's good to see appreciation of different neurotypes for their strengths.

Many people with ASD put a lot of time and effort into learning and altering their natural behavior in order to better understand and interact in a way that is perceived as normal by nerutotypical people.

I'm hopeful the inverse will happen more over time as well, neurotypicals putting effort into learning and adjusting their own behavior to better interact with and understand autistic people.

Making it normal to include input from all neurotypes (as opposed to excluding) is a great step forwards.
If you have other capital gains, then its less of a gamble because then you can use the loss if it goes sideways to offset your other gains. But for the vast vast majority who get RSU's yes its not preferred.
Much like science advances with the death of the older generation, farming advances as the old farmers die. The average farmer is something like 55 years old. Young farmers are far more willing in generation to try new things.

No till is standard farming practice these days. You can't get government subsides in many cases if you do traditional tilling. (there are other types of tilling allowed - they are much better for the soil)

I got bitten by a dog when I was a 13 years old, but the owner refused to provide details about the dog.

I had post-exposure prophylaxis for rabies. Five sets of shots into my torso.

This was less than pleasant.
I didn’t miss that point, just don’t agree with it. The two outcomes are not mutually exclusive and the availability of entertainment isn’t a good reason to claim people cannot (will not?) be productive if their survival no longer depends on that productivity.

In short, I think people adapt and figure out their priorities. If someone wants a life of binging Netflix, who am I to say that’s a wasted life? (So long as that person doesn’t make me live such a life.)
I have to point this one out from his guide to C: https://beej.us/guide/bgc/html/split/hello-world.html

> Before we go on, why would I even begin to bother pointing out that a pound sign is called an octothorpe? The answer is simple: I think the word octothorpe is so excellently funny, I have to gratuitously spread its name around whenever I get the opportunity. Octothorpe. Octothorpe, octothorpe, octothorpe.

I can't find it right now but somewhere in the guide in a different chapter, he randomly inserts "Octothorpe"... good comedy. I think this kind of writing is exceedingly rare and immensely enjoyable.
Reasonable (though fairly hackneyed) advice. Until I get to this:

> I let my boss know I was leaving in February, so my commitment to see things through to the end of the year was effectively a 10-month notice period.

This, ironically, was the first sentence in a section entitled "Avoid giving too much notice"

If you can't handoff your work in less than 2 weeks, either you as an employee have failed to properly document and communicate status of what you are doing, or the company culture has failed because it created an environment where someone could not pick up what you were doing and continue it. Why? Replace "quitting" with "suddenly died." Companies that can't recover from stuff like this are poorly run and with bad frontline managers.

Short of being a founder and CEO of a startup who has to leave, and needs to gently hand it over so the company doesn't die, there is no valid reason for 10 months of notice. Hell, that is probably not a good reason.
There are tons of them, looking at the top 20 coins here: https://coinmarketcap.com/

- Solana
- Cardano
- XRP
- Terra
- Polkadot
- Avalanche

That's the majority of actual chains in the top 20, since many of the rest are tokens running on top of other chains (USDT, USDC, SHIB, BUSD, &c)

In general, starting a clone of proof-of-stake Ethereum is a very popular way to make a new chain.

As for the philosophical point, PoW isn't really different. It takes tremendous capital investment to produce enough hash rate to ever mine a BTC. These are all more or less systems in which the rich get richer and the not-rich get to gamble.
>If it benefits business, then companies will do it. If it benefits states, then states will do it.

And if it benefits only workers, and you happen to live in a state controlled by corporate interests, screw you I guess?

The point of labor regulations is that businesses will routinely do things that give them an unfair (and often already illegal) advantage in negotiations. The whole concept of "state's rights" was invented by the segregationist ring-wing, and that legacy is apparent every time it's brought up.

> The same (in fundamentals) technology existed in 1922

The first transatlantic flight by Charles Lindberg was 1927, 5 years _AFTER_ this article was written.

People were trying to do a transatlantic flight in the 1920s the same way as we are trying to make hydrogen cars, applicable artificial intelligence (self-driving?), or other "nearly true" things today.

There were many notable attempts at a transatlantic flight. As such, the article is able to point out the issues (ex: the lack of oxygen in the upper atmosphere, leading to hypoxia).

An individual pilot can do a transatlantic flight with the use of a breathing apparatus, similar to a scuba diver. But large-scale flights wouldn't be possible until the invention of pressurized cabins (used as a secret-weapon during WW2: the US Superfortress Bombers would fly so high thanks to pressurized cabins, that other airplanes couldn't reach them).

-------

Predicting a successful transatlantic flight would be like predicting a self-driving car today. We see lots of cool tech demos and people starting to understand the issues / technology... but it clearly doesn't exist yet. Not in any way that's usable.

We're probably 5 years off from a plausible tech-demo (ex: Spirit of St. Louis like attempt), and decades away from a commercial offering.

Lindberg's flight was of 33-hours. This article is suggesting an 8-hour flight time, well into the realm of science-fiction by 1922 standards. The 400+ gallons of fuel of "The Spirit of St. Louis" was manually strained and manually purified by the team, for no commercial process existed yet to make the fuel pure enough for high reliability.

A trans-atlantic flight was "inevitable", because the march of progress over the last 10 years was so dramatic, so incredible, so inspiring, that it almost certainly was going to happen. But it absolutely was still science fiction by 1922 standards.

> Part of the reason it had taken so long is because I put a substantial amount of work into a part of the project that's no longer necessary due to changing requirements, which I don't think I could have forseen.

One of the things that I've experienced with new grad junior devs is that there's an adjustment needed to change from academic working to business working. In academia, usually the professor gives an assignment and you have to go off and figure it out, without bothering the professor, no matter what. In business, it's much better to 'bother the professor' regularly and check in affirmatively on whether the assignment has changed, or to tell the manager about challenges that arise to re-plan together. As a junior employee, you're not going to know the full business context of what makes sense, and checking in can save weeks of time that would otherwise be spent off on your own.

Not sure if that's the case here, but certainly something you could consider going forwards to prevent similar situations.
