The on chip ECC for DDR5 isn't because of faster memory; it's because of denser memory. It can rowhammer itself, and fox it up silently. And the cheaper brands can start shipping chips with defects like they do with flash, relying on the ECC to paper over it.
That cheatsheet is not accurate. The number of "skyking"s do not have anything to do with priority/severity. Further, SIOP was not strictly speaking retired — it was renamed, most recently to OPLAN 8010-12. I would take the linked page with a very large grain of salt.
> Graph databases are necessary to implement semantic web databases.

The online docs (and TBL himself) rarely mention of graph databases, but obviously the idea is tied tightly to RDF. Separating it from that implementation detail is part of the point, though. Getting people to represent their data via an additional format was never going to work.

> For the BBS mentioned here, that might actually be illegal, as it might contain PII

Can't imagine the purpose you had in even making this point. In theory, any arbitrary database exposed publicly could be illegal to replicate due to copyright, PII laws, etc. But that has nothing at all to do with a technical discussion of a technique for exposing data. What a bizarre point to make.

As an aside, I'm glad you removed the "Uh........." from the beginning of your post. We're all making an effort to reduce the typical HN snark in the comments, and there's always room for improvement :D
Messages on Android is just SMS and RCS.

Hangouts is dead, replaced by Google Chat.

On Google Fi, Messages can sync messages with web app. I wish there was a Messages for iOS for reading Google Fi messages on my iPad. But that would be a pretty niche use and they would have to call it something less confusing.

Hangouts used to have the ability to do both Hangouts and SMS. But it didn't have the ability to automatically switch like iMessage. They could have also rolled out the ability to sync SMS to more carriers instead of just Sprint and Google Fi.
So there is no presidential branch. There is an executive branch. There also isn't a congressional branch. There is a legislative branch.

The executive branch conducts investigations, issues subpoenas and certain agencies can directly hold you in contempt if you don't respond to a subpoena others can ask a court to find you in contempt of court. After all the FBI, DEA, ATF, CBP among many more law enforcement agencies are part of the executive branch.

That's not how it works. It just means that instead of everyone using 10% renewable energy you use 100% and 9 other people use 0%.
Compared to constant driving around the block it can’t be much worse? Worst case it drives away and comes back later with no stop. Best case it drives home or to a parking and waits then returns.

Machine drying clothes unnecessarily is right up there in the wastefulness stakes.
The typical drying machine pulls about 2-6 KW while running. A cryptomining rig pulls about ~1.2 KW while mining. A drying machine runs for an hour a week. Let's say 2 hours a week. That's 12kWh per week at the high end for drying. A cryptomining rig running 24/7 ends up using 201 KWh for the same time period. That's 16x more taking the most pessimistic clothes drying usage, so I'm not sure how you're concluding "uses as much if not more energy".

Biggest problem about PoW coins, and that's something that everybody working on it knows, or should know, is that the need of power is steadily bigger each year. Where would be the limit of that? When that requires the energy of a big country? (We are quite away from that as far as I know [1] ) A heavily industrialized continent? More than the whole world?

It's absolutely crazy. I know that there's a big lobby behind mining, I absolutely respect what they have being doing protecting Bitcoin i.e. and making the project survive... even if it somehow completely lost it's original purpose. But FFS guys what's the purpose of having cryptocurrencies if the cost of that is aiming to destroy the world, or much more probably, to win a last minute complete cryptocurrency ban from all governments with the handy climate change as an excuse?

> "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon." - Milton Friedman

This is true in the trivial sense that any time there is inflation, there is an infinite array of alternate monetary policy approaches that could have been pursued under which there would have been (all of) more, less, no, or negative inflation.

But other than that, it is not usefully true, because change in monetary policy is very often not the proximate cause of (increases or other change in) inflation. For instance, in the recent bout of domestic inflation, the proximate cause of inflation (somewhat reductively, as there were more contributors) was the rebound in employment, spending opportunities, and consumer confidence from the general relaxation of COVID control policies.

tl;dr

Software efficiency is traded for time efficiency, you see this less with hardware constraints like embedded systems programming. As hardware capabilities increase, efficiency is less necessary. I see a reversal of this with rust (ripgrep is amazing), web assembly, while making programming easy leads to poorly optimized software like electron wrappers.

Yes, your comment is exactly part of the problem I am talking about.

You write long sentences and use sophisticated vocabulary, but what you are saying is that the truth or value of a belief or an idea depends on the person speaking or writing it. Not on the quality of the belief or idea itself. This is sophisticated tribalism.

"I don't really want to debate any of these specifically so won't engage further on them."

Of course. Because truth or challenging your own preconceptions are not important to you. Just reinforcing your alliance to your self perceived tribe.

RE: dirty batteries. I'll take relatively minor environmental damage that can be confined to one spot any day of the week over literally spewing toxic fumes into everybody else's lungs and heating up the entire damn globe. That's a no-brainer. And the sooner we can move to nuclear + renewables to power everything, including battery construction, the better.
No, that's not moving goalposts. If Bitcoin miners waste renewable energy, the users of energy in general move to renewable later.

If everybody is using renewable energy exclusivity for everything, is still wastage. PoW only work by adjusting it's consumption upwards to create scarcity, e.g. one block per 10 minutes. At that point we will be useless solar panels, covering land uselessly, etc, etc. Bitcoin is arbitrary scalable wastage to create arbitrary, artificial scarcity.

The point is: Energy wasted is energy wasted. Bitcoin will eat everything till the point where some external factor prevents further expansion, e.g. how much are we willing to hurt the environment and ourselfs in exchange of the block reward. The person with the highest threshold wins.

It's not really not complicated. This is literally the last scene of the hitchiker, where they plan to kill all trees, so they can use the leaves for currency. The success of bitcoin makes be loose all hope in humanity.

> According to that logic, does any sort of protest outside the capitol = "coup attempt"?

No, because other types of protests outside the Capitol (i.e. over abortion, environmental issues, civil rights, war), and their related tactics within Congress are not aimed at stopping the constitutional process of certifying a lawful election.

That's is quite literally what differentiates a coup from the others: A coup uses force and threat to unlawfully take control of the government.

Normal protests outside the Capitol are about influencing the legislative process, which is a completely different function of Congress. But even then, it would be unlawful to influence the legislative process by threat or use of force.

Forty years ago, when I was a 19 year old dishwasher and I went out with my wait staff friends, they made a point of tipping 20% instead of the then-customary 10% because they knew what their servers went through and wanted to show meaningful appreciation and help their friends keep their rent paid, etc. I picked up the 20% habit from them. I don't know if what we are seeing is 40+ years of word of mouth, but I don't know that it isn't.
> Several bosses have explicitly told me they intentionally set an unrealistically aggressive delivery date because of the phenomenon of people taking as much as time as they're given.

That's because even the "non-aggressive, realistic delivery dates" are actually an under-estimation of the amount of work. Practically all deadlines are too soon, and how much you allow to stress out employees parametrizes how much too soon.
Yeah, using significantly cheaper but just somewhat slower hardware works great if you can parallelize.

It has helped the adoption of renewables in the same sense how polluting the local river has helped the anti-pollution industry. This is broken window logic. The reason bitcoin uses renwables in the first place is because much of it happens in China where misguided state projects and subsidies have created excess capacity. It makes for a pretty decent joke though, the libertarian currency de jure runs on the misguided state planning of the Communist party of China.

Any excess capacity spent on crypto currency is waste. It could go to scientific computing projects, it could simply not be used. The chips for the equipment (we are in a global chip shortage) could go to something that actually contributes to the real economy.
Because often those security features come with a lot of excess infrastructure and architecture/re-engineering requirements. Would you prefer we lifted the fee for everyone including small businesses who don't need it to keep the margins we've got?

I agree it's silly binding features to tiers, for example having to buy an Enterprise license to get MFA is ridiculous (looking at you _every_ Oracle competitor). You _should_ be able to pay a per-seat, per-resource or flat fee to get each additional feature. Security isn't for Enterprise only.

I'll give you some fair examples:

Audit logs: Every action every user makes on the platform, usually for a fixed period - often between 2 and 7 years. For thousands of users, or in publicly shared websites or end-user-customer-facing websites, this can be hundreds or millions of extra users all generating hundreds and thousands of logs each per year. And if we add any more features to the platform? The problem compounds, and it gets more expensive to support the additional resources. We also have to integrate with every SIEM or partner with a third-party to expose the functionality, none of which use the cheap "bulk data export" option but incrementally export logs continuously using shitty CRUD API's we developed for the front-end. God help us all if I chose AWS and I don't get to meet with someone who reports to Bezos to negotiate a deal. I'm gonna get screwed.

SSO/SAML integration: For a subset of our customers, say 5%, we have to allow and cater for the design of major IdP's. Even billion dollar companies like Slack can't cater for the design of Google Groups and integrate with them properly, how the fuck am I with my mere 100-person engineering team supposed to cater for each and every IdP and weird implementation they require? Great, now I've got to retrofit my architecture to support design choices made by companies who only care about authentication and RBAC of a very generic company structure. They don't need to cater for everyone, but now I do?

MFA/2FA: Now I have to add support for either email or SMS because "hardware tokens are too hard" or "we need a backup option for if I lose my phone", and a whole 24/7 operational process to support it because every now and then that shitty cell tower in Turkey or New Zealand goes down and that one, critical SVP at their holiday home can't login. Great, my support staffing costs have gone up exponentially, and it's only to cater the 2% of dinosaur executives that can't figure out how a fucking Yubikey works without calling me for support like I'm their fucking grandkid.

None of this is easy. It's all hard because tech's expensive, process is expensive and most importantly people are expensive.

Anyone who questions Enterprise SaaS software costs in 2022 doesn't understand the end-to-end cost of running and supporting Enterprise software. There's no such thing as a free meal, just because you're used to paying $2/mo for your shitty personal blog which integrates with all the modern security features you've come to expect at an Enterprise, doesn't mean it'll translate to your custom Enterprise CRM or your wacko-Enterprise integration.

A single miner uses 1,300W (Antminer S9) and runs 24/7. That is 218,400Wh for a week.

A gaming computer at ~400W, left on 24/7, is 67,200Wh. That assumes you are playing 24/7 - your idle wattage in sleep is < 100W.

If you run your dryer every night of the week for an hour, you are using about 38,400Wh.

You can game 24/7 and dry your clothes every night of the week and STILL use less power than a modern, efficient single miner node. About 50% less!

Bitcoin is a huge waste of electricity, and it is WAY worse than anything else you listed.
>Biggest problem about PoW coins, and that's something that everybody working on it knows, or should know, is that the need of power is steadily bigger each year.

They don't really require more power, they are just getting more valuable so it's been profitable for more people to increase their mining investments. The limit is that they are not infinitely valuable, and if anything mining rewards are decreasing.

If using the API's correctly, the compositor can be limited to only updating a small part of the screen. If really only switching the cursor between on and off, that'll happen roughly once per second. And lastly, the whole thing can be skipped completely if the cursor happens to be invisible, for example if the editor is minimized or (partially or fully) obscured by other windows.
