> They represent the same value prop as any stock.

Try thinking about this a bit more: what do you have if you buy a share of stock? What does that company own, what is its ongoing cash flow, etc. Now repeat the same thing for Bitcoin and notice how the answer is “nothing” except for the possibility of getting someone else to buy your coins.

That's the difference: there's no plausible reason to think that people are suddenly going to stop shopping online or using cloud computing. The price isn't going to suddenly tank because other people will buy into a popular company which has shown it can reliably run profitable businesses.

In contrast, nobody needs Bitcoin for any reason — we all have alternatives for currency, value storage, etc. which are cheaper, faster, and easier to use and almost nobody as a requirement that they buy Bitcoin. If some web3 play actually comes up with something normal people want and they all switch to Ethereum, there's no floor on the price. Unlike Amazon, there's no revenue stream which can be used to pay dividends or buy shares back when the price falls.

Another way to think about it is to ask who'd notice if it's gone. Amazon disappearing would disrupt business all over the world in multiple industries, and that cost of switching provides a lot of inertia. Bitcoin is mostly used for speculation and the vast majority of the fraction of transactions representing real economic value have easy replacements. When the switching cost is that low, there's little pressure to stay. Even if you really believe cryptocurrencies are the future, there's no law of the universe saying it's going to be this one rather than the many drop-in replacements.
First off I don't recommend implementing the specification from scratch. It is big, and there are implementations already in various languages: for C you can use GNU-UEFI, for example, Rust has uefi-rs, and Zig has support in its standard library. These take care of the fiddly details of interacting with the UEFI firmware's services.

There's tutorial type articles for these around: for C there's https://wiki.osdev.org/UEFI_App_Bare_Bones, for Rust there's this template https://github.com/rust-osdev/uefi-rs/tree/main/template and the crate's documentation.

I don't think the role of firmware requires it to be minimal. It's to provide a consistent boot environment on different hardware, and to provide useful services to the program. Even BIOS-based machines have significant amounts of code that run before they jump to the boot sector, so while UEFI is definitely more sophisticated I don't really see this as a drawback to it.
Yes, this is embarrassingly slow, so I solved your problem
The main difference VoLTE provides is preferential network access for voice calls. In times of congestion, voice calls will still work when data might not.

VoLTE calls also have a coverage advantage to them over data. Cellular networks have different handover settings for VoLTE (QCI 1/5) where the device can hold onto its RF longer while a call is ongoing and still allow the call to work using techniques like TTI bundling. The codecs used for VoLTE require very little bandwidth and thus can still operate in extremely poor conditions.

And if you're wondering why carriers don't just offer the same for data, it's because customers using data in cell-edge cases would be disappointed with the experience even with the extra handover settings and TTI bundling. That combined with the extra PHY resources being allocated to a situation where data just might not arrive 70% of the time makes it more worth it to allocate those resources to VoLTE specifically especially when they might be critical like in E911 scenarios.

it's one thing Unicode does well. I haven't come across a living natural language, that's not represented in Unicode, but some extinct languages are too. there's hieroglyphics (classic and demotic), Sumerian, etc. Mayan and Aztec logosyllabary don't seem to be officially allocated yet, but there's a proposed range for them.

I grew up in a courtyard style (but much larger, super-block style) area for much of my childhood. The outer box is one section of the compound. The inner boxes are tall apartment blocks. If you look out your front balcony you'll see your kids play with other kids and the older kids will watch out for the younger ones. The box with the 'x's in it is a massive courtyard (think a couple of your football fields) with trees and playgrounds and space for sports. It is encircled by a road that leaves at that top right area.

I find some of this author's arguments... epistemically illegible.

For instance, she criticizes James Scott's "Against the Grain" for using a different definition of 'state' than the first one she found on wikipedia, but it is unclear why this is a bad thing. In fact, Scott himself notes that there are many competing definitions of state that are all imperfect in his context; and that ultimately the choice of one or another is rather arbitrary. It is so that he can develop this context that Scott delays his formal definition. In searching for a legible, bold-face, definition of 'state' on page 1, the author has ignored the context surrounding the concept of state as well as its place in the arguments of the book as a whole.

The author suggests she borrowed Scott's sense of legibilty in her own term to suggest that legibilty has some benefits; that she can easily determine the effects of the failure of a single leg of an argument on the whole and she can easily 'spot check' to determine is some fact is true or false. But in her application of this concept, especially the section on "Against the Grain," she demonstrates primarily that her approach is causing her to miss nuance, trip over ambiguity, and ignore context. Ironically, this is the exact critique Scott presents of legibility in his other work.
extremely so, iirc. both because of the complex agglutinative and polysynthetic grammar, and the dearth of teaching material.

Honestly it's what annoys me most about Gnome. I daily drive Gnome 4x but for the love of god stop making design decisions for mobile users.

- Why is there a full screen app drawer?

- Why does the top bar do nothing and function like my Android top bar?

- Why are there no icons in my tray for my background apps (steam, slack, etc)?

- Where can I go to see my current running applications?

I would love to use a Linux distro on my phone, but not at the expense of my Desktop experience.
> What I was wondering was: is there a better number? e.g., is there a way to calculate the amount of USD put into a cryptocurrency across a timeframe?

For PoW coins there is. For every day in the coin's price history, multiply
said price by the number of newly mined coins that day, and sum over all days.

Sadly, I don't know of any site that publishes such a metric, although the column "PoW Produced (24h)" of [1] shows the product of today's price and mined coins.

I consider making art and culture inaccessible to be one of the greatest crimes against humanity (after actual murder and any form of torture (such rape) of course).
I don't think you really read any of those articles or did any deep research to learn the history of male birth control development, but the information is out there if you look harder than Wikipedia.
If you want to mischaracterize me you're free to do so, even though I think we're more in agreement than it appears.

My point still stands that it's not the science holding us back as much as social attitudes and pharmaceutical company decision making. Pharmaceutical companies do not see this as very profitable, so it's likely they are making false assumptions about male family planning and gender norms.

Even beyond that if you take out any assumptions about male attitudes, society has taught women that they need to accept more invasive measures for family planning, and it just takes time for men to get used to that too. However, as much as attitudes are changing there are some men that will not take up this responsibility, and I say this as a progressive person that has to work with many conservative people that have extremely regressive views about gender norms that are too stubborn and willfully ignorant to be educated otherwise.

I'll just leave these here for those who are actually interested in making this a reality and learning the science and history of where we're at:

My gut reaction to 'recreating loved ones in VR' is that it would be torturous more than soothing.

Once a person dies, they're gone. The world is different, and nothing will bring them back. Spending time with a simulacrum isn't really spending time with a loved one.
We can't force people to do security. There definitely are (hopefully not publicly exposed) TLS 1.3 server implementations which always pick the same private key to do ECDHE, even though this means they lose forward secrecy - because they did not want actual security and we can't make them.
This is even more terrifying when one considers the possibility that the result of the second test is not independent from the result of the first. That is, some trait within the population increases the probability of a false positive (and this is likely in any heterogeneous population).

Now the conditional probability of infection, given TWO positive tests is still far below 50%.

This is why a second test of a different type, even if it is less accurate, if it is more likely to be independent, is much preferred!
Maybe a large plastic container and a desiccant would help?
If QA and developers come from different tracks (eg, devs from CS, QA from problem domain [[ eg. BSc/CS vs BComm/Acct]] ), then QA looks at the things that "weren't in the story requirements" but matter for the product.

If it's a collective "we learned from this", that's good.

If it's seriously and organizationally adversarial, that's bad.
This is quite a tangent on label printing in general, but what I really want is a computerised label printer that does mechanical punched labels, like the classic Dymos and knock-offs.

I still have and use one, basically because I don't use it enough that I need an electronic one, it'd just be handy, but I can't quite shake the appeal of the ~85% fully formed raised lettering.
Everything here is at or below 3-sigma confidence, and it's not even clear if that's a local search confidence (i.e. when you know the mass to within a small %) or a global search (where you don't know the mass and are just looking all over the place for an excess which inherently makes it more likely you find SOMETHING which makes your confidence lower). The world of particle physics is littered with the graves of 3-sigma excesses.

At this point, there is basically nothing to see here. You will do yourself a favor by just moving along.
I'm trying to think of an example of a standard where the fixed sized index got full but re-use was a viable long term solution instead of either extension or complete replacement. It seems if that point gets hit the amount of effort to reuse isn't worth the short amount of time it gains. In IPv4 for example we reached the second level of NAT before anyone even tried to start using 0/8 which was set aside simply to not be used not even assigned and forgotten.

Yes Monero is great as private digital cash… as long as its usage level remains relatively low-profile so that governments keep allowing sites like Kraken to legally act as fiat on and off ramps, voluntarily handicapping their ability to track money laundering.

This is why Monero today is useful for tech-savvy people and motivated black-market buyers/sellers, but we will never see a user-friendly Monero market for the masses.

That flat design is worse is maybe not an universal truth, but no doubt it is a well known issue and concern has been shown everywhere. Quoting from my first link below, flat design has been widely criticized by HCI and usability experts.

This is one of those things that I'm willing to believe, without requiring a whole hands-on research, based on my subjective views, and on the fact that every time the topic arises, most devs seem to agree.

So we know that flat design is worse, or at least we have a very firm intuition. The only remaining thing is to quantify by how much. This paper seems to go into that direction:

This article is very interesting and offers a list of references:

And last but not least, there is a whole website which is solely dedicated to collect papers on the topic of flat design:

Could you recommend alternative funds that are more ethical?
The author sort of answers the title question without appearing to realize it.

The answer is: "The things that exist are good enough for what people are usually trying to do"

It's unclear what the author's real use case is.

The reason proto/etc suffice for most people is that they do not care about the physical format, and control it.
As a result, there is no need to define it explicitly or separately, and mostly people don't care to.

The folks that need to control the physical format are often those reading other people's formats. In a lot of cases, those producing the format don't care if you can read it or not :). They are often part of some ecosystem (say, photoshop, or whatever).
As a result, they wouldn't use an "openapi for binary formats" even if it existed.

For lots of other kinds of standardized formats to read (video, image, etc), these days the processing is harder than the parsing. Not that it's worth nothing, mind you, but that i doubt you would find a lot of people care enough to think it's worth it.

You also start to get into fairly different kinds of formats quickly (IE network protocol formats vs file formats), and those differences often lend themselves to different abstractions (IE you often want to be able to stream decode network formats, but may care less about stream decoding file formats, etc).

The market that remains to be served well here seems pretty small.
Certainly there are folks who want to control the physical format for some reason (whether they need to or not), etc.

But again, that feels like a small fraction of cases.

As a result, nobody felt enough of a need for OpenAPI for binary formats to push very hard on it.

Very nice, well done! What would you say are the main differentiators to airtable and coda?
Depends how it is executed.

I consider my neighbourhood in Western Europe a great modernist success:

Blocks are mostly around 7 floors high, with access organized vertically - each floor landing has typically 3 apartments around the lift/stairwell, so no 'streets in the sky'.

Plenty of shops (and entrances!) at ground level of each block.

Lots of parks, schools, trams, etc interspersed amongst the blocks.

Private balconies for all.
The original goal was to be a currency but over a decade later, statistically nobody uses it for normal transactions. If it shut down tomorrow, the few businesses which accept it would remove that option from the others they accept and that'd be it. Nobody other than speculators would care because it's never given them a reason to use it.

I realize you need to say there will be demand for it but your desire to sell your random numbers at a profit doesn't make that true. Demand has to come from somewhere and something which has many competing alternatives which are generally cheaper, faster, and easier to use does not have much lock-in potential.
It's conceivable research like this might provide insights into the nature of these conditions that does help lead us to treatments. Anyway if you think a cure might be decades away but work like this can be done affordably now, it just makes sense.

"mourn and move on" is a somewhat Western concept of dealing with death. Plenty of cultures around the world have developed different practices, up to religious forms of ancestor worship.
You have suggested, "every drop of fossil fuel and every pound of coal will be burned" by poorer nations as prices respond to reduced demand. At some level, though, the cost of extracting exceeds that price. As cost for renewables declines, using renewables becomes strictly cheaper than the cost of extraction, and even the poorest people will thus prefer renewables. Anyway, we may expect access to coal and oil under many countries will be forbidden.

In addition, as renewable energy gets cheaper, extracting carbon from the atmosphere to fix in solid form gets cheaper than mining it, so excess atmospheric carbon dioxide can be drawn down. (That, besides extracting carbon to volatiles to be burned and re-emitted.)

The deep ocean has capacity to safely sequester excess carbon already in the atmosphere. It may be moved there cheaply.
I think you almost have to go a step further than that; you have to teach people about debate, how to debate, and decorum. Increasingly folks seem to rely on moral argumentation when debating despite our world becoming increasingly less moral (in the context of right vs wrong). Instead, our world mostly reflects shades of grey but our argumentation style doesn't reflect that change.

I totally agree that most men want to avoid pregnancy, even if for selfish reasons instead of caring about their partners.

It's not a question of estimating willingness to prevent pregnancy which I don't underestimate at all, but rather estimating to what depths men are willing to go to prevent pregnancy, compared with what women are already expected to do, and this is a result of gender norms. As far I know, what we have to go on mainly consists of fuzzy signals sent by pharmaceutical company research preferences. If someone knows of some solid research on this topic I'd love to see it.
