If you run a large scale Plex server I could see the 25Gbps coming in handy. Most 4K movies (Native Blu-ray rips, not the low bitrate renditions you get on streaming services) run about 50-100Mbps. That would let you stream to 200+ people at once, and have overhead for other things.

After setting up over 100 IoT devices in my home, I’m convinced this industry needs to be regulated if it wants any shot at succeeding.

Here’s what needs to be required:

1. An IoT device should be capable of functioning without any sort of “smart” features. For example, a remote controlled lamp should have a physical switch on it that allows it to operate like a dumb lamp.

2. A device should be capable of integrating with the rest of the home network without depending on the public internet or external services. This means said lamp can be turned on and off by a smart switch or phone that’s in the same LAN.

3. Smart devices must be accessible without registering an account with the device manufacturer. This is one of the most egregious parts about IoT today—most vendors require an email and password to login and setup or control the device, which is absurd on so many levels with respect to privacy and when the company goes bust like Insteon.

These 3 things would put an end to most of the IoT shenanigans we see happening today.
They will certainly fix it if you give their startup another metric fuckton of money. ;-)

I believe you're oversimplifying. But there are ppl less educated that can't express themselves so eloquently. The problem with the current banking system at least has been recently ELI5 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r76KkcJaTE (see Yelen's response, it's fine if you're the banker, less than ideal if you're a random tax payer).
I think a bitcoin economy in stablestate would have about the same amount of lending as a gold economy under the gold standard. There is enough history during gold standard periods to have some idea how this would be.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard

These times weren't perfect, but no time ever is.

In short there would be less lending than under fiat with MMT, but certainly not zero lending. On the plus side, much more stability, and no hyperinflations, ever.

Seems worth it to me.

Supposedly there's thousands of different features that are scored, and those are just the rolled-up categories that needed their own separate ML pipeline step.

Like, maybe, for example, a feature is "this site has a favicon.ico that is unique and not used elsewhere" (page quality). Or "this page has ads, but they are below the fold" (page layout). Or "this site has > X amount of inbound links from a hand curated list of 'legitimate branded sites'" (page/site authority).

Google then picks a starting weight for all these things, and has human reviewers score the quality of the results, order of ranking, etc, based on a Google written how-to-score document. Then tweaks the weights, re-runs the ML pipeline, and has the humans score again, in some iterative loop until they seem good.

There's a never-acted-on FTC report[1] that describes how they used this system to rank their competition (comparison shopping sites) lower in the search results.

> I think beyond 1gbit, the benefit become super marginal and the hardware expensive

Is it expensive though? We spend how much of our lives online. How much do you think this all-spanning life upgrade costs? What is the price of never ever dealing with buffer-bloat? Take a guess.

I calculate it as a one time $356 cost plus labor. You might have paid more for your wifi system. 128 port 25gbe switches are around $20k ($156/port). Transcievers are under $100 and you need one on both ends. For a lot of already deployed fiber, this is a drop in replacement. This is absurdly cheap. Given how cheap this is it's an obvious & enthusiastic heck yes. Who wouldnt throw down $356 right now to get 25Gbe for life?

Cost gets a bit more complicated when it comes to the POPs & their uplink. Subscribers are going to be way oversubscribed even with some fairly expensive 100Gb uplinks. As you get further from an exchange the difficulty grows geometrically (because pops become.further hops away from the ix). Peering needs to be bigger too, as does transit (but ask whether the net volume of traffic grows elastically or not), which has costs. But I think we need to frame this question a bit better, of whether it's "worth" upgrading. Honestly costs are so low it doesnt make sense not to; the rest of the world is just milking us, bilking us, charging what the market will bear, protecting it's profit centers, and this company init7 is doing what makes financial sense for the consumer. Donwe need all that? Maybe maybe not. Should we settle for less? There's almost no financial case when the hardware is so so so very cheap. This tech sounds magical but 25Gbe is not exotic, not extreme technology; "the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed yet".
Currently nothing tops C++ Builder, and I don't see anyone willing to spend such efforts for free.

Even Qt/QtCreator, do depend on their commercial customers to keep going.

And then there is the duopoly of ISPs where they carve out huge chunks and agree not to compete.
In Europe you have SEPA transfers where the reversibility after a transfer is comparable to a wire transfer. You can't really avoid them because they are the standard way of transferring money (if you don't pay by card or use direct debit).

There are more and more reports of serious phishing attempts that do not rely on mere fake emails, but involve criminals breaking into a business' infrastructure, observing mail (and sometimes even call) flow for a while (this can take months!) and waiting for an opportune moment to strike. They'll use the real company's infrastructure to send an invoice or email in the middle of an existing project that goes unnoticed for long enough to hit several clients. By the time the client and the hacked company start arguing about who paid what bill when into what account, the criminals are already out and moving on to their next target.

Not many people are prepared for these attacks. All the standard checks for phishing scams (sender, subject, language used, information repeated, technical measures like SPF and DKIM) pass with flying colours. You need to be wary of every single email from legitimate contacts to protect yourself from such a threat.

Such hacks target businesses (because huge b2b transactions are common enough) but also wealthy individuals contracting companies. Anyone capable of wiring out a sum of money large enough to make months of work for the (probably third world) salaries of the people involved in the operation worth it can be a target.

There are plenty of people who will fall for your old "we're the IRS, pay us Google Play gift cards" scam and even a fake invoice from an unknown company sometimes gets paid by a billing department that doesn't care about their jobs, but not every scam victim fell for some comically obvious scam. In the real world, real companies don't stick to best practices ("hi we're your bank. No you can't call us back to verify") and as long as legitimate companies send weird bills or make weird payment requests, scammers will find ways to mislead people.
So should I be prevented from following only anti-capitalistic people on twitter or only following right wing subreddits? Should people also be banned from subscribing only to a single newspaper versus a mix of newspapers with different political leanings? What about looking at only socialist web pages that link to other such web pages. Should web pages we forced to link to pages with other political leanings?
It's just marketing at this point. It's a best effort service, and with the current tech the overselling is becoming crazy.
I'm also totally uninformed, but my gut feeling is that physical systems don't encrypt information, at least not in the way we assume when talking about encryption. Also if you go down that route you risk having something that can't be proven: how do you prove that black holes are not using a one time pad to encrypt information, with each black hole using a different and random key?
Microsoft’s CDN is awful. I’m in Chicago so my fiber connection literally terminates at an Akamai and Cloudflare edge. Steam, Apple, et al I routinely pull 100+ megabytes per second. Microsoft, I’m lucky if I get a third of that.

Language changes whether we like it or not. Before cryptocurrencies, "crypto" meant cryptography, but with mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies, the popular meaning of "crypto" has shifted to cryptocurrencies. If cryptocurrencies fall out of use maybe it will shift back.

Can I play with it then, to verify that myself? Or can I just view cherry-picked examples where it works sort of well?

That's one of the major flaws of nn approaches, since you don't have an understanding of what's going on, just an uninterpretable set of billions of numbers, you can't know what are the failure modes and the limitations of your algorithm.
> Very few servers will allow you a full 25gbit download

As TFA mentions, same was the case with 1 gbit. I can confirm, I'm on the same ISP and was "early" to have 1gbit/s. Lots of servers still only had 100mbit/s links. These days I have zero issues saturating my 1gbit link.

Give it time, now that it starts rolling out, costs will come down and server links will be upgraded. The usual early adopter stuff.

TBF, implementing Redbean in C required 3000+ lines and several third party dependencies. Of course it's more full-featured than this Go "proof of concept", but still, I assume it would be much easier to implement Redbean in Go than in C - as you would expect from a much younger "batteries-included" language.
I think you can now put 800 gigabit per second today, via commercially available kit, down a single strand of fibre installed back in the early 1980s.

Copper or radio connections just don’t seem like as worthwhile an investment to me. I’m not saying it makes sense to have an 800gbit connection to a residential property but from a longevity, cost per mile, use of less rare materials, reduced rf interference or whatever, fibre just seems a better proposition to me.
At least his influence lives on C#, Scala and Go.
Welp, at least, the wire transfer process itself delivered the money to the correct recipient.

Now, imagine this: an error in a transfer contract locks away funds, not only from victims, but also from phishers. What a beautiful world to live in.
Clickbait title, the fed rate went from 0.25% to 0.5% hardly soaring. Savings accounts previously paid like 0.04% according to article, that's because they need margin and they can keep them low cuz people won't swap banks for half a percent (not that it'll get there anytime soon)
You should try some other alternatives Eagle is really really bad and KiCAD is quite bad.

Horizon EDA is decent and I've heard good things about LibrePCB but not tried it.

DesignSpark PCB is also a fairly reasonable option. Certainly better than Eagle and a better UX than KiCAD. Not open source, but not limited in any way like most commercial options are.

Those inflation numbers are still rising. However, who will ultimately be able to find a new job and increase their $? Not retirees obviously.

Pretty sure you're wrong. Look at what's happening in music right now. It used to be that if you wanted music that didn't sound like total garbage it was going to be a mainstream production, because all the tools around professional music production were expensive. Now hobbyists have tools comparable to what the pros use, indie music tends to be well produced, and we have a much greater proliferation of fringe music than in the past. Considering how shit mainstream music is from an artistic perspective today, and I have to say I'm glad.

By lowering the cost to create professional art, it reduces the barriers to producing unique fringe art. Without a need to recoup a massive investment, people can take experiments, and express themselves.
Self-motivation is much harder than people give credit. I believe that we’re mostly not cut out to work alone. Our motivation comes from other people — either leading, following, or serving them.

If I’m right, you’ll probably find that the more you pursue this vision alone, the harder it will feel.

The dilemma you‘ll face, and the compromise you’ll ultimately have to find — is that the vision will never truly be yours if you let other people in, but it will ultimately never be meaningful if you keep them out.
Whilst open source hardware work goes back a fair way, I feel we're really at a turning point where it can become a serious force within the hardware world (think late 80s/early 90s in software terms, Linux and GCC emerging and beginning to find their feet). There's lots of interesting developments in tooling plus significant open hardware projects on-going.

I shall take the opportunity to plug OpenTitan: https://github.com/lowRISC/opentitan

It's an open source root of trust being developed collaboratively by multiple companies such as lowRISC (who I work for), Google, Western Digital and Seagate amongst others. We've been rather quiet on the PR front but there's a lot of engineering work happening and other exciting things we can't yet make public.

Whilst there's some things we have to keep closed (generally relating to ASIC design kits and things like Flash and memory IP) the vast majority of the RTL, documentation and software is open. Plus we're doing development in the open, the public repo is our live development repo. We're not developing it in private then just opening the end product.

Sample size of one, but in my younger and less careful days I have managed to injure my shoulders overdoing both push-ups and dumbbell bench press. I managed to injure my shoulders much faster doing push-ups, likely because there was no way for me to ramp up the weights slowly, since push-ups are always minimum body weight. With bench press, I injured myself when I got impatient and ramped up the weights too fast. With push-ups, I injured myself when I got greedy and did too many sets throughout the day, since it's easy to do and do twenty whenever there's a few minutes of free time.

I'm a small business owner with an online digital platform.

I'm going through the DSA now and it looks like they exempted most of the hard to implement requirements for micro/small businesses.

You can find the full regulation here:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?qid=16081171...

So long as you don't have millions of users, you are exempt from "Section 3" requirements. If you got millions of users, I'm sure such companies can afford implementing the mentioned regulations.

Honestly, it currently doesn't look extremely bad for small/micro businesses but we will see.
This is a useless way of looking at things - even the task of just listing all the implications of a theory is probably unbounded, and if, at any point, you assume the correctness of another theory... If you are only maximally skeptical in some matters, then you are being inconsistent.
>wealth transfers from retirees to a lower generation. Primarily Boomer -> Millennial.

The millenials are the children of the boomers, so if inflation accelerates the transfer of wealth, it just means the inheritances will be worth less. Meanwhile, the Social Security/Medicare gravy train rolls along for now, transferring some wealth back in the other direction.

It wasn’t overlooked - someone noticed the issue and reached out to the team just before launch but it was declared ‘FUD’. Ultimately it’s a junior team - this should have been caught. While not perfect, smart contracts are starting to mature - well-tested contracts become templates, access to 100% control flow fuzzing becomes easier, more people are releasing testnet versions with bug bounties… it is going in the right direction but only if you can be bothered to put that effort in. Ive worked as a contract test engineer in crypto for over three years now across several projects & blockchains, and yet to have a project have an issue like this.
