Sure, I'll play your game, but with a twist. I'd like to crawl a webpage for links to zip files, extract the CSVs inside them, do some basic data processing on them to calculate some stats, then post that data to an API hosted on AWS using amazon's SigV4 authentication scheme - all of this without writing temp files to disk since that would tank performance.

I choose Python, you can have OCaml. Race?

In all seriousness, I quite enjoyed OCaml in university and a quick search shows it has all the libraries needed for this task (which is actually just the next thing in my work queue). It's a great language, but "give me a language and I'll tell you why it's inferior" is not a good attitude. There are always pros and cons and every use case has different priorities.
I wonder what would happen if we started a practice of reversing bills that are proven fraudulent, even in error. Pay the man $13.000.
Yes and it always curiously ignores that mobile banking is the actual technology that has actually massively helped the unbanked.

I suspect if Bitcoin is helping people in these countries evade currency controls it’s helping the rich not the poor and rather enabling capital flight than adding stability.
NASA plans to return samples from Mars
I think it's a global trend now. Social network turns what used to be noise into "millions of users are joining onto $website" and the hidden motives are obfuscated. Crypto, cannabis..
Again with this bizarre logical nonsequiteur that because they can do something I'm not allowed to be annoyed by it. Second time in this direct chain of replies.

I don't get why people keep making this same completely nonsensical argument. Do you honestly think that whenever a company does something that they are legally permitted to do there is some obligation on everyone else to not feel any negative emotions about it? Is that how you think the world works?

I doubt you or "kertiyoowiyop" do actually think that. I suspect what's happening is that you're perfectly fine with what's happened (which is of course entirely your choice and fine with me) and you're seeing people who aren't, and because you don't share their objections you feel an urge to go around making comments to the effect of "your views are irrelevant, stop whining and deal with it", which is rude, information-free trolling.

If you think there's some actual reason I should agree with you that what the nyt's done here is fine and I have no cause to be annoyed by it then please, let's hear it. Otherwise, just accept that not everyone feels the same way as you about things.

And no, I don't work for free. I do play for free.
Just how internet stocks fell 90% in 2000-2003, thus demonstrating the "Nobel" economist Paul Krugman's was right. His insight was that the internet was just a fad and would have no more impact than the fax machine.

I notice a number of smart investors are starting to accumulate cannibis stocks. The trigger might be a repeal of the federal ban, which seems to be on the cards, even though (sic) Joe Biden promised to do it.

Then it sounds like the person voided the warranty by assembling incorrectly, not by opening it.

I’m sure that if people opening their devices, breaking them, and expecting warranty to cover it is such a big problem, then there is enough financial incentive to find an actual solution.
The logic does break down for criminal activity. But:

(1) Mr. Wog93 was talking about speculators, not criminals.

(2) If any of my grandmothers were still alive then they could be scammed in any asset class. Bitcoin is riskier but, frankly, anyone crazy enough to "invest" in bitcoin is probably going to lose all their money regardless of whether they get scammed or not. So this grandmother test is a bit of a wash in my eyes.

The only thing that makes me special is I'm humble enough to say maybe I'm completely wrong in my opinions so other people should be allowed to take risks I think are stupid. There is a fair-enough system that will sort out who is right and who is wrong based on evidence.

In the case of my brother there was quite a bit of evidence surrounding cord blood improving motor and social skills. I linked a Duke article on it in another comment

The percent of people who have banked cord blood who are not explicitly susceptible to specific genetic disorders is unknown. It would be a compounded probability of freak accidents occurring, sports injuries, other diseases ie certain cancers, environmental issues, etc

I have over 4000 hours in dota and I've never bought a loot box or cared about skins. I never felt like I was pushed into it. You can play those games without any issues even if you don't buy the skins. Contrast that with games like Hearthstone which uses packs with random cards as a way to pay to win and which require a lot of money to get into.. I see nothing wrong with Valve's business model.

Besides what the sibling comment said, of course Mozilla can't be independent. Nobody was ever under that illusion. Making a browser takes a shitload of money and Google is a good source of it. Even if that money came with strings attached (it doesn't), that would still be better than the alternative: having only one browser engine.

Being financially independent is great, but only if you survive. I'd take a partially Google-funded independent project that publicly goes against Google's interests all the time over one that Google develops in-house to 100% serve their agenda anytime.
>>“does it reduce to Newton’s Laws under non-extreme conditions”
Thomas Kuhn said something about this in his Structures of Scientific Revolutions.

<i>Imagine a set of statements, E1, E2, . . . En , which together embody the laws of relativity theory., ..... This enlarged set of statements is then manipulated to yield a new set, N1 , N2 , . . . , Nm , which is identical in form with Newton’s laws of motion, the law of gravity, and so on.
</i>

<i>Yet the derivation is spurious, at least to this point. Though the N1’s are a special case of the laws of relativistic mechanics, they are not Newton’s Laws. Or at least they are not unless those laws are reinterpreted in a way that would have been impossible until after Einstein’s work. The variables and parameters that in the Einsteinian E1’s represented spatial position, time, mass, etc., still occur in the N1’s; and they there still represent Einsteinian space, time, and mass. But the physical referents of these Einsteinian concepts are by no means identical with those of the Newtonian concepts that bear the same name.</i>

Agreed that it's never good to have new social problems created by whatever you did to solve the previous problem. But that's the nature of doing stuff.

I own a car. Great, now I have maintenance concerns. But it's still a net positive, which is why we do it.

If oop creates more work than the value of brings, then we should scrap it. But I've seen some pretty bad procedural code, so I don't think that's a given.
It is strange language to say 'carbon footprint is used' but I see no interpretation where the statement is correct. The 'carbon footprint' is actually 'used' to secure the network, motivated by how the process generates more bitcoin. The size of the carbon footprint is not caused by, nor dependent on, that 90% of transaction volume. It doesn't make sense even when I try to find the most forgiving interpretation. There's an implication that the data means the transactions are enormously wasteful but it doesnt logically follow.
Absolutely but even as someone who is very much against crypto it’s such a massive hole that threatens miners directly I can’t see it going unaddressed. Or the whole thing collapses which suits me just fine.

> Domestic currency controls seem to offer all sorts of arbitrage possibilities that can be exploited using crypto currencies, the cycle usually goes -> some weak currency -> somehow convert to crypto -> sell crypto for USD -> sell USD back for that same weak domestic currency with a markup.

That isnt evading currency controls, that is arbitraging domestic currency controls.

Evading currency controls looks like this: earn rubley-pesos, convert to crypto, convert to USD, stuff under matress.

These so called weak states and failing economies all around the world have had secondary markets (mostly in USD - see the blue dollar in argentina as just one example) since before the birth of satoshi, let alone the birth of cryptocurrency. Its not some great new trick invented by bitcoin.
Yes, but if it's also less personally targeted (like, for example, focusing on fitting in with the subject of the site/post you're currently reading instead), then the influence will be lessened. We would be going back more towards trade magazine ads, which isn't such a bad thing in comparison.
Why they are not satisfied with a year of birth then?
Interestingly, it looks like Steam is using Siemens NX for their designs. That's according to the internal info side the .stp files in the repo.

“Pretty much every single monkey that had had implants put in their head suffered from pretty debilitating health effects,” said the PCRM’s research advocacy director Jeremy Beckham. “They were, frankly, maiming and killing the animals.”

Elon's desire for human trials in 2022 definitely isn't going to work. Human trials in 2032 seems a much more realistic timeframe.

In the long term, I expect this to become very common as hydrogen replaces methane in ammonia production and coal in steel production. Hydrolysis can happen when price is low and as long as the hydrogen buffer is big enough it will last through high prices.

> Maybe when enough of us have been harmed?

The more harm is done, the less likely that people will support a public option. After paying ruinous bills, they would resent now paying increased taxes for “other peoples’ bills”. Why should I help others when no one was around to help me when I needed it? The more polarised society gets, the less likely that any person feels they should help “freeloaders” in that society. This is a bit handwavey, but people support a large public safety net in societies that where many have already benefited from that safety net and the society is somewhat homogenous.

(I live in a society with socialised healthcare, so this doesn’t apply to me. I don’t espouse these views personally.)
AI could come to help: a powerful enough dedicated hardware could decode HDMI signals, match the audio/video with the known fingerprint of an ad, substitute it with say a tropical beach or some mountains with a soft jazz music background and a small countdown in a corner "ads end in: mm:ss", then resume the program at the predicted end. The fingerprint would be taken by the users by pushing a button to mark each spot start and end so that the AI can recognize it and upload to a central server that would aggregate all data. The system should have a buffer long enough to allow watchers to rewind to the exact start and end of the spot, and to allow the AI to analyze the data before showing it to the watchers, however a very long buffer could be even more handy to wait for the entire program to end, then process it so that every ad is removed and the program joined back together with no interruptions.
Doable? Yes, but would need a lot of work and some money for the hardware. Probably also overkill since pretty much all programs are already available ads free on decentralized torrent swarms.

So far he's...

- planning to dig tiny tunnels with no ventilation or emergency egress for cars instead of, you know, trains [1] - [edit](as if the only reason we have traffic is because lanes are uncovered? maybe just put a roof over the highway as a beta test?)

- he's walked back the whole hyperloop thing almost entirely [2]

- some electric cars where he tried to overthrow the government of Bolivia to source lithium [3] - at a company which produces a single digit percentage as many cars as say Toyota, but is valued at the entire rest of the car industry put together

- [edit] and a publicly available beta of an autopilot system that seems hell-bent on murder (including having tried to off me, a few times - btw, super fun when it's not)

- some very expensive space internet [4] cat heaters [5] (although after reading this article I assume the cats are being slowly roasted in some sort of bandwidth trial)

- built rockets that aren't actually less expensive than competitors - they hope to be, but presently are not, and tbh, I don't see a path (but would be happily proven wrong) [6]

- and tortured a bunch of monkeys to death.

> The question is more of, in 2022 can we still do online advertising without personalization and tracking, in a way that's profitable?

Sure we can. We need to legislate personalised tracking to give more oxygen in the room for companies like Deck, who want to advertise without having to track to stay competitive.

The solution in an arms race of a competitive ad market is to either keep escalating, or de-nuclearise. With enough legislation, we can achieve the latter.

No; no, you didn't.

User resolved simply won't work if people care about winning their currency. And people will care if they ever use real money or become popular.

Imagine - I create a market "Donald Trump will be speaker of the House in 2022" and people bet on that. I, through sock puppet accounts if necessary, bet that he will as much as possible. Then, I just resolve the bet so that I win.

Cheaters will have all the currency and cheating will make the predictions useless or worse than useless.
I am all for “C your C” but I sometimes wish that The Man would once again forget the concept (like IBM, popularly)—

Since Spolsky is not quite the Man but Varian is presumed to speak for Him it is probably well to credit Varian (and Yule).. in order to remind ourselves that The Man is in on it.
Most of these cancers seem to hit people aged 40-60, and I’m not sure from the article but I think they are saying if you have this cancer smoking weed might speed it’s growth, but not that it is a cause of the cancer in the first place. If that’s right I don’t get why this is being described as a crisis. Just suggest patients don’t smoke if they are diagnosed with this cancer.

SpaceX and Elon Musk promise to have people on Mars by 2026. Can’t we just pack a shovel and a FedEx box on that mission? NASA’s plan is for landing another robot in 2028 and getting samples back by 2030. Aren’t they paying attention? SpaceX will have thousands of colonists there before NASA lands a probe.
