Interesting, both are nearly orthogonal for me.

"Mining" means adding transactions to the blockchain. Ad absurdum, if no one transacted bitcoin, there would be nothing to mine. And contrary to what some claim, given Bitcoin's fixed block size and a few other constrained parameters, there is a very clear (and enormous) electrical power cost per transaction (with some range given that transactions are not fixed size - the more participants in a single transaction, and the more metadata, the higher the power cost per transaction).
> time is the main reason

If time is your valuable commodity then buying a first gen "revolutionary" product was never going to be a good move. In your case, buying "known good" was the direction you should have gone and let others cut themselves and bleed out on the edge. Sorry for your bad experience, chalk it up to lessons learned. It's ever the case with tech: the vision is far, far ahead of reality.
Because private school parents can pull their kid out and take their tuition elsewhere. They actually have options and can make good on bargaining threats to walk away.

Additionally, you don't have public sector or really any teachers unions to deal with at private schools.

There are other factors that contribute, but aren't nearly as clear cut as those two.
BTC costs $0.06/tx to the sender currently (1sat/vbyte) The vendor can set up their own payment gateways, or use a system like bitpay and pay 1%, which is cheaper than a cc.
Then there is lightning that may cost single sats or less.

Eth is an expensive gas coin and will cost multiple dollars or more to trade or sell. Agreed about that.

No. The definition of "centralized" that matters here is "everyone hosting their website in the same place, using the same vendor".
omicron has solidly taken over Vancouver BC. Anecdotal evidence: in the past two years (except this past week) I have only known 1 person who got covid. In the past week I know over 20 people who have got covid.

I sincerely hope that this is the beginning of the end of covid lockdowns. omicron is taking the world by storm and I wouldn't be surprised if the entire world gets it in the next few weeks.
Ok, let's look at some real information and not your biased website which doesn't actually account for any quality of care measurements.

https://www.oecd.org/unitedstates/health-at-a-glance-united-...

https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/ae3016b9-en/1/3/1/index....

https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/ae3016b9-en/1/3/1/index....

The OECD has statistics on basically every aspect of the health care system, across most developed countries. You can look at any category relating to quality of care or health system capacity and the US crushes Canada. Canada didn't even put on a very good showing on your link either. Affordability in the US is a problem, yes, but if you have the money, it's probably close to best in the world. That's why most of my family left Canada for the US years ago (also so they could earn 3x more and pay less for, well, everything that's not healthcare).
I don't understand, where does eat the rich come in here? Academia is usually made up of people who are (relatively) rich and privileged. This has nothing to do with "eat the rich", and everything to do with answering the question: "who bears the costs?", or more appropriately "who pays the bills?".

Answering with the "tax payer" does not now imply that capitalism is evil, and corporations are awful, etc. etc. Rather, it should sober businesses, and remind them that they are part of a system. They need consumers, and consumers need them. Hurting consumers by maintaining unfair prices ultimately comes full circle, and will hurt them, in the long run, even if they profit in the short term.

Of course, our businesses tend not to think about the long term too much, but again, this has nothing to do with "eating the rich", but everything to do with pondering human hubris.
I just find the general sentiment very hand wavey by conflating impact and use because it doesn't say anything. It's a wait and see indefinitely to prevent any real discussion on the merits today, while being a catch all to side step critique.
ZFS is still the best FS out there but a good rule of thumb is to look over the open and closed issues and see how things are handled and the problems for a given project, a sort of issue-driven-assessment.
This doesn't contradict what I said.
There is no substitute for the Space Pen (I personally use the bullet style pocket size). It uses a pressurized gasket to push the ink in any position so will writ upside down all day long. It has a great backstory as being an unsolicited proposal to NASA to write in zero gravity [1]. The very best pen gift for any Engineer.

Hawala clearly solves a problem - the very fact of its existence is proof of that.

Crypto solves the same problem.
Apple does not seem to buy (at that time) struggling businesses, Tesla mostly succeeded with influencer marketing (Elon, Cathy, Chamath, Bitcoin)

Apple's strategy is to wait for the market/demand to mature then capture with innovation and product-led growth - ex: Fitbit > Apple Watch, Beats > Airpods
This is the case for pretty much every other invention.

It is, but that was because far fewer people were well educated so they didn't really see the need, and innovations tended to be physical objects that can only travel as far and as fast as the transport of the time will take them. Today most people in the developed world are very well educated (relative to the 1600s) and things based on computers travel at pretty much the speed of light. Things, particularly in tech, obviously move faster now.
Unless you have a Android Blackberry device (KeyOne or Key2 etc) the free version of the hub is feature restricted, so you have to pay (an ongoing sub) to get the full Hub experience.
> 3-4yr old androids have been, in my very anecdotal experience, completely unusable (software bugs that’ll never be fixed, battery drain from OS updates released after manufacture year).

What sort of Android device? Flagships usually have a much longer life than cheap ones.

I had a Mi Mix 2S for 3 years (2.5 of it with literally a hole in the bottom left corner with a circuit bord visible after i dropped a heavy and sharp object on it) and it was as snappy and fast when it died due to water damage, and was still getting updates. I know people with OnePlus 6 or Samsung Galaxy S7 which work just fine ( there are no updates though). The updates part sucks but is getting better across providers, so hopefully will be better in the future.
Question: what does "100% prevalence" mean in this context? sorry, it's not clear.
If it’s milder than Delta - then that’s good right?

Or do the increased cases lead to more hospitalizations than Delta?

Maybe a naive question:

Why not just run a local server (localhost should be secure)? I mean: You create a web app and kind of a backend / some logic anyway.

You could embed all assets and the server into one executable file and distribute it. The user then runs this executable and uses their default system browser.
Just like chiropractors
I'm not sure where or how I am "preventing any real discussion." If anything, the people constantly criticizing it are shutting down genuine analysis of its merits and downsides.

I'd add ransomware payments to the list, but otherwise your take "the problem was found back in 2011 - it's just that nobody wants to admit it" is spot-on!

An interesting tangent of your BitTorrent analogy is that, for BitTorrent the protocol, an actually legal use case was found later: it is now used to create powerful ad-hoc CDNs for limited use cases with the novel property of gaining bandwidth automatically as more clients show up. The "Linux ISOs" that actually existed were the earliest incarnation of this, driven by non-profit orgs low on cash, but the concept is now in active use also for purely commercial purposes such as downloading large game updates (World of Warcraft, StarCraft 2 etc. have been using this scheme for a long time now) or generally distributing large software packages to a bunch of clients (I've read about at least one company-proprietary project that uses BitTorrent embedded in some kind of software package distribution system to quickly roll out microservice updates in a mesh made up of thousands of servers). This may mean that it's not impossible for some of the crypto protocols to eventually end up being used for actual benefit in some legal way that is not just again financial speculation. However, it will probably be much less world-changing than the crypto enthusiasts expect.
I hope support for these features gets added to GPG's SSH agent soon
Grayscale animated gifs where the first introduction to porn. That was i386sx time. Like silent movies they had queue cards with some bollocks like "Shaved pussies are more slippery". 320x250 and 256 colors or 640x400/480 with 16 colors. Bearded blokes and hairy bushes looked really good at 640x400.

Add the corrupted JPEG here and there ... "right above the important area" of course. and you know, porn was also there.

I remember my mom showing me an ASCII print from a drum-roll printer (Mainframe) of a nude lady. So everything was possible ... (o)(o)
Expect to learn on the side use as much time you can to get to learn your tools, dont only use schooltime make it a passion, and you will never Work a day in your life.
Early pandemic memory:

I remember this issue was in the (german) news for a time in march 2020 when it slowly dawned on everyone that almost all the planes we were watching in the sky were empty - most people had either stopped travelling on their own or were prevented so by travel bans. The airlines were only flying the planes as to not lose the slots.

EU institutions acted reshingly quick in that situation and suspended the rule for some time. After that point, flight traffic in Europe came to a virtual standstill as everyone went into lockdown.

It's a bit disappointing to read that the rule is back in action and apparently with the same results as before.
When I see per month or per day stats I get suspicious.

Let's say a month has 30 days -- 5 million views a months is 166,666k per day, 6944 per hour, 116 per minute, and ~1.92 per second.

1.92 qps.

Of course it's not expensive, it's a tiny amount of traffic!

I was an Apple user since 2008 until 2018, when I finally switched to Linux full time. At the time of my first switch attempt it was 2014, but I didn't realise how finely ingrained Apple's OSX workflow was in my mind. I had no problem finding replacement apps, but what was hard was using them and trying to build a comfy desktop environment. Essentially it took me from 2014 til 2018 to transition from OSX specific software to fully open source CLI apps. These days I run Arch and the only GUI app is Chromium. Not counting my i3wm and the lemon bar. It was a fun journey with with some challenging moments!
Hello there. Some random bits that I found helpful: 1) start assignments as soon as they're given (or at least fully understand what is expected so you can plan time), then you won't be rushed and your work will be high quality. 2) learn how to write academically - sure, you know how to write but unless you've done it before you probably don't have the experience of condensing multiple pieces of referenced material into a paragraph. There will be books on this in the library. This goes hand-in-hand with achieving high grades, if you understand what a lecturer expects to see, you can do well. If you find yourself working hard and then getting a mediocre grade, its because you haven’t understood what’s expected. 2.1) visit the library and see what workshops they have on writing, referencing, research and any other university skill – take those! 3) learn how you learn, or at least actively use multiple methods if you’re unsure. Watch videos of topics covered in your lectures, read books and write notes from the books (actually use those little quizzes at the end of chapters to test your knowledge and work on areas of weakness), write flashcards and use them. 4) Read ahead on areas you think you might struggle with or areas you’ve not been exposed to before (you don’t know if you’ll find it hard and ‘waste time’ grasping the basics be under pressure and miss the opportunity to take advantage of lecture time. Or just read ahead because you’re interested. 5) Understand lecture time is a tiny amount of your time overall in university, it truly is down to you to learn. Its an active process – you have to be interested, engaged, plan and do additional work to understand and do well. 5.1) ask questions in lectures. Write questions to ask when you're doing assignments or reading around the subject. 6) Build a structure and keep to it – this is definitely a personal preference, it may not be your thing – whether its waking up at the same time everyday and going to bed at the same time, blocking periods for work, exercise, playing games, and doing it no matter what. When you’re so busy its important to ensure you control your time. It doesn’t have to be rigid, the goal is to provide structure so you can succeed, you can always choose to not follow parts of your plan. 8) Absolutely take advantage of the social life and various activities, clubs, societies etc, you can’t work all of the time!
I love linux distros but let me just say that anytime I hear "linux" and "just works" in the same sentence, I knowingly snicker to myself at the road that lies in front of that poor sucker. I "just works" with plenty of learning opportunities included for free.
Crypto needs to solve a problem. I think cryptocurrencies should focus on making a cheap currency that people can actually use.

requirements:
- low transaction costs
- low volatility
- many places where you can pay with it
- secure
- privacy
- no tax problems
- fast transactions
- handle fraud
- scalable

If a crypto currency can solve above points by cutting out the middle man and making transactions virtually free instead of paying 1.29% + 0.25c per transaction that would be huge.

But that is a big if. Bitcoin fails at almost all of the above points. The only coin that comes close is Nano (I've got no investment in it). They solve fast, secure, scalable and cheap transactions, which I think are the main problems right now. Read their whitepaper, it is interesting. Whether they can solve the other problems remains to be seen.
You'll be shocked to know that as a dev, I had to fax Apple several documents a decade ago just to publish in the App Store. They had zero facility to accept it via the internet. Not a joke. Fax from the UK to USA.

> I actually have a reoccurring nightmare where I need to send a distress message from my iPhone, but it refuses to write anything legible. I bet my subconsciousness agrees.

I have this style dream as well. It’s not always a nightmare but it’s trying to type something on a phone and it just never working, like wanting to show someone a video in YT and just not being able to get it right.

I have actually been able to use this as a cue to start lucid dreaming i.e. when it starts happening I know I am dreaming and can start taking control of the dream world.
While true that one can't say for sure, the link you provided gives a 95% CI that's still pretty close to 40%. I'd wager the chance of randomly picking 6 hospitals whose obesity rate way further than 4-5 sigma away the mean would be pretty damn small.
> The amount of power that is used in PoW is not correlated to the transaction volume.

Of course it is, since a block holds a max number of transactions. Say a block can hold between 1 and 1000 transactions. Then, mining a block takes 1 kWh. This means that a transaction takes between 1 kWh and 1Wh, depending on transaction size (number of wallets involved, other metadata etc).
Either your compute demand is highly elastic, or your revenue and profit scale with usage, otherwise the Cloud is probably not for you. At least not in the longterm or for running websites.

You are just bitter. Folks that bought Amazon or Apple stock at IPO did nothing either. In fact, a great deal of wealth floating about wasn’t wasn’t earned by the holders at all. Are you angry with every house owner who’s property appreciated, every investor to took to risk with assets?
The same goes for Google - you can share Keep lists and Google Calendars, all for free and easy.
Bitcoin and PoW is our only shot at decentralized monetary system. PoS has many problems, and it can't provide the same level of confidence in the system as PoW. There's no way to reach objective consensus in a PoS system.[0] From this angle, I see PoS as an adversarial attack against decentralization. Failing to understand this is dangerous. Bitcoin mining uses increasingly clean or otherwise wasted energy, which solves the actual problem, which is unclean energy production.

Ethereum has many problems, which prevent it ever competing with bitcoin as money. It can do NFTs and games, sure. However, there are many competitors who do these better, like BSC and Solana, and other more centralized blockchains. So, in the end there is really no place for Ethereum to be competitive in.

The problem is probably solvable if your customers already have the correct app.

The issue is if your customers are using the QR code to install your app. A scammer can change that QR code and hijack the customer's entire experience.
That sounds mostly like modern hubris to me, combined with a lack of patience, itself driven by our on-demand, "I want it now!" economy.

Well, commodity-based currency had non-zero value because it was an abstraction of a physical process somewhere. Proof of work. I have to spend time mining gold, so gold has value, so gold coins have value.

But that wasn't sufficient alone to give it utility. And without utility, there is no buyer of last resort, and no floor under value. Hence taxes.

Fiat currency removed the proof of work, and replaced it with proof of stake (-ish?), but retained taxes.

You could probably make the argument that "buy NFTs" or "run dApps" are the beginning of crypto's tax moment, but both seem a pretty small scale to base value on.

IMHO, that's the entire point behind dApps: a crypto-native version of taxes that puts a value floor under the cryptocurrency. If you have a solution that can only be solved by dApps, and you need cryptocurrency to run dApps, then there you go...
> NFTs were an unenforceable joke

"NFT Art" is a stupid implementation of NFTs that probably mostly exists for money laundering.

I always thought of NFTs as a good backend for things like concert tickets or other kinds of "club memberships". This would not really have the enforceability problem, at least not more than traditional tickets, while some new features are added.
You are being downvoted but your answer makes total sense to me (and I have been the one asking the question).

Article 3 (Territorial Scope) of the GDPR:

> 1. This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the Union, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the Union or not.

> 2. This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing activities are related to:

> (a) the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union; or

> (b) the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union.

> 3. This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data by a controller not established in the Union, but in a place where Member State law applies by virtue of public international law.

So if either the data controller(s) or processor(s) are legally established in the EU or the data subject is physically in the EU then the GDPR applies.

Hawala also existed in a time with poor communication abilities between the financial nodes.
Yeah that's just it; I would have loved a tiny apartment with clever things like this ten ish years ago after I had just moved out, but only if it was affordable (<€500 a month at the time). Nowadays I live in a 'normal' house (two bedrooms, ~90-100 square meters) and I much prefer it.

Tiny houses, apartments, single room places are a compromise. Some people really insist on living in a city, which is fair enough for them. Some people compromise to do so. I for one am happy to live outside of the cities in a normal size house with a bit of outdoor space. Long-term plan is to move to a bigger place, even further away from the cities (I live in a suburb at the moment).
