> If the receiver has to prove their ability to spend the received funds before being allowed to receive them

If I want to send you some crypto money in exchange for you mowing my lawn, how do you prove that you can spend the received funds? And if I accidentally send it twice, why would I care that you can spend them twice, unless I have some way to compel you to send half back?
Matrix might have bad core tech, but they are one of the only groups working on the biggest issue with federation.

Tying identity to a server is insane in a decentralized environment. Decentralization is all about keeping Google sized companies from controlling things. But small companies come and go all the time, and nobody trusts them to be around in 10 years.

They aren't solving the SSL problem though. Mumble has a good solution their with their trust on first use connections. Self hosted really should ideally not need a domain name if you want individuals to host it. It should be something you can literally buy a $20 preconfigured hosting node, plug it in, and go.

Tox seems to be most promising of current ones, it just needs to fix it's mobile data use issues.
As a landlord (am I still allowed to say that word?) in a very pro-tenant state myself, this is one of the costs associated with the extremely strong tenant protections and nearly compete ban on evictions -- if I let a bad tenant in my house, I could lose $50-100k by the time I get them out (which could take a year or more) and the house fixed up and the lawyers paid.

As a result, I can only afford to consider tenants that are absolutely perfect -- never had any problems, have stellar credit, can easily afford a big deposit and the rent.

I wouldn't need to do as absurdly thorough and limiting of screening if it were easier to deal with problems when they occur, but with eviction moratoria, huge legal costs, and all of the other misery associated with bad tenants, we have to be super picky and really invasive in our screenings to protect ourselves.

I understand why people want to have strong tenant protections, but they're not free, and much of that cost is born by would-be tenants who are probably going to be fine but aren't absolutely perfect.
Note here you haven’t contradicted him. Your first argument isn’t substantiated, just an appeal to recency. Your second argument makes a false dichotomy between physical and non-physical phenomena that is irrelevant to the underlying issue. It may have escaped your recollection, but Meno and Socrates were discussing the physical phenomenon of bees as an analogy to studying the non-physical concept of virtue. Reading up on the history and the logic here helps.

Again, I would love analysis, but it seems like most of what you’re doing is asking epistemologically uncoordinated questions, and failing to make assertions/counter-assertions of your own. It does not follow, simply.
For context, 1.6 kW is about enough to power 1 home appliance: a dishwasher, refrigerator, or toaster.

I think your A/C would be more - but I'm not certain

If you had Solar panels deliver this power, you could get similar power if you spent ~$1.5k on a panel 6.5 ft X 16 ft
As someone who has trained around 60 GPT-2s, this is damn impressive work. It’s very hard to get consistent code quality when the training corpus is so small (as this one undoubtedly was).

The url scheme is interesting. I wonder what it base64 decodes to. If I were at a computer I’d check. It might be a complete representation of the inputs to the model, which is then cached. Which implies you might be able to fiddle with it to get specific outputs.
I have never been able to make an Apple laptop recognize my phone as a USB storage device to copy photos from it.

GOOG phones used to cost less than half of APPL ones. And for a while to have physically wider screens which made them better book readers. Unfortunately the price difference seems to be nearly negligible now.
Do you think it changes with political ads on social media? I think this is completely decoupled from the science itself. Luckily.
Hypothetically: a study finds racial differences in intelligence, or something equally taboo.

Do you really believe an esteemed journal would actually publish it? Or would they find a reason to politely decline, such as "it's out of scope", "didn't pass peer review", "doesn't align with out values, reword"?

Do you believe, even if the study is published, that it would not destroy someone's career?

And finally, if researchers believe there is a chance of that happening, would they actually start to investigate the taboo area?

My answer to all these questions is "no". This is why when you say, "just publish in academic journals", I am highly skeptical. And why I am annoyed at yet another example of the social media oligarchy enforcing what ideas are allowed to propagate.
I think that software engineering should be merged into computer science, because the vast majority of computer science students are going for software engineering careers. So the software engineering stuff should be introduced along with the programming material and developed throughout. If you end up displacing some computer science theory that isn't critical then that would be fine.
I'm using The Turner Diaries because I know it is an extreme example. Rather than search for the most benign conservative/right wing/whatever kind of book that is banned, which would be hard, I just take a single known extreme example. I'm using The 1619 Project as an example because it was given in the article - not unfairly, I do think there are people who want to ban that book.
I’m with you. Do you believe it gives you an edge on certain types of tasks?

Not the person you asked, but no. Because that would mean you have to trust iOS to not track you. I can be convinced that Apple is less bad than Google in that regard, but if Apple has nothing to hide, then they can let me have root, so I can verify, right :) ?
It also works the other way around: When in conflict, law (and force) will always have precedence over smart contracts.

One problem with relying on emulation is that Google has moved a lot of functionality from the open source Android layer to Google Play Services, and they obviously wont publish that on someone else's platform.

What does "nice block 5" mean?
Yeah, spread that over 20 games/apps. It can really mount up, I can think of other indie game dev's that only publish on iOS that their games are now forever lost.

It's a real cultural loss.
Not to get off topic but what seems to be lost in the HN discussion is that this is a coastal public library offering books to teens that are banned in their local school.

It's not about all banned books.

There's also the dynamic of a (left leaning?) coastal entity overriding right-leaning communities. This might play well in Brookyln, but it's also powerful political fodder for the more conservative areas being overruled.
Users sent their tokens to a contract that is less than 24 hours old, with code that had no prior exposure to the market. It does not take an expert to learn that “sending your tokens to random contracts is a high risk activity.” But I will agree that consumer education & protection does need to improve in this space.

FWIW the risk profile is different than interacting with something like WETH contract, which has had an $10+ billion USD open bug bounty for long time frame.[1]

It's starting to transition into software defined these days.
The antennas themselves are similar size, depending on frequency but the backend systems are now down to a standard server (at least up to 250-ish megasymbols and increasing).

Things like viterbi are designed to be done efficiently in hardware. Doing it in software is limited to CPU core speed. Multi threaded solutions are hard to engineer as the signal is a continuous stream and cannot trivially be split up for parallel processing.

I do grounds stations for a living. Currently building edge clouds to do this at scale where the dishes are placed around the globe.
I only ever connect my iPhone for debugging purposes (can be done wirelessly btw), and sometimes I hook it up to transfer files faster to VLC, but that will go away once I have Plex up and running.

Between streaming services, cloud backup, iCloud Drive (like Dropbox), and Airdrop (secure file sending via peer-to-peer WIFI) there‘s absolutely no need to own a Mac or PC to drive an iPhone.

I‘m also holding out for Asahi though, and hope they get things like Proton to run.
deleted, wrong math
This is, again, untrue.
This may be somewhat tangential, and if it is too much so, then ignore this and move along.

Isn't the key axiom - preservation of information - a presupposition, and not a formally evidenced law? As best I can tell, it's mostly been assumed as a required premise for a larger axiom - the eternality of matter.
> you seem to have a fixation on not ever conceding a point

That is quite the accusation coming from someone whose entry into the conversation was "Wall of text, didn't answer the question." But let's see...

> Dllthomas correctly pointed out...

dllthomas did not "point out" anything, correctly or otherwise. All he did was ask the following question:

"How does that remain true after the black hole has evaporated and there is no longer a horizon?"

This question assumes that black holes evaporate. That assumption may be incorrect. We do not know whether or not black holes actually evaporate. In fact, we do not even know whether or not black holes actually form at all. And therefore:

> (2) resolves (1) when the black hole disappears

That might be true if (2) were true. Even that is arguable, but it is neither here nor there because we do not know whether or not (2) is true

> compared to consensus is a radical view

Yes, of course. The consensus view leads to a paradox, and so we know that the consensus view cannot possibly be correct. We also know that decades of effort have not resolved this paradox, and so it is extremely unlikely that there is a simple straightforward solution that has simply been overlooked. So the correct solution will almost certainly be a radical departure from the current consensus.
Some of it was re-instated with Dodd-Frank but ultimately I think it was insufficient, a return to Glass-Steagall would be a more ideal world for banking but will probably never happen in America as it stands today.
> This makes the Rubel incredibly attractive as it can be a stable currency and easier to purchase than Gold itself.

I'd rather buy tether, or the latest crypto fad. It may be pegged to a gold amount, theoretically, but trying to get your gold out of Russia is the object of many jokes in my home country. Currencies are based on trust, and Russia will get out of this with maybe half a bucketfull of it left intact. I literally can't remember when they said anything not obvious and true.

For me the ZX Spectrum is defined by the competition with Commodore 64.

When faced with the difficult decision between Spectrum or C64, i turned to my older cousin for advice.

He recommended the Spectrum so that was chosen. However in hindsight the quirky keyboard, colour clash and less impressive sounds made the C64 look like the superior choice.

Colour clash can be seen in this link:

Still, the Spectrum had some awesome games back then, such as Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy.

Hey! One of the founders here. We're a recently launched roboadvisor explicitly for "high risk investing" and we develop these portfolios to make it easy to take advantage of more exotic strategies for those without the financial or technical knowledge to do it themselves (while providing tons of data, transparency, and recommendations). This blog post is a fun strategy poking fun at the recent popularity of "Inversing Cramer" and our own spin on it. Note that this isn't a live portfolio on our site.

For these more fun ones (WallStreetBets, Nancy Pelosi) - these are specifically requested from our clients and we provide extensive data and recommendations to suggest portfolios to clients based on their situation. You can see for yourself: the WallStreetBets portfolio is down nearly 40%. Nancy Pelosi is flat - we don't hide that at all and instead make it very clear with large font. Our most popular strategy (pulls the most AUM) is the Quantbase Leverage Flagship, a portfolio based on this paper[0] with nearly 100 years of performance history.

Yes we charge a fee on AUM. All robo-advisors do. This aligns incentives: we make (more) money only when you do. We're not for everyone, and even for those we are for we recommend on our front page to limit investment to a fraction of your total portfolio, but the thesis we believe in is solid: you can improve your absolute returns by taking a higher level of risk. We make it easier to do that intelligently, with proper data, and with the proper risk management. Happy to answer any other questions.

Edit: added "more" to clarify the AUM fee incentives alignment.

>This is a straw man of capitalism. The idea that in capitalist countries citizens would be left to die and starve requires a great exercise of imagination.

Just don't search how many people die due to lack of healthcare or how many people freeze to death(mostly homeless, but also people who can't afford to properly heat their homes), how many people were executed because they didn't have money for a good lawyer.

>I agree with most of your comment actually. My point is there hasn't existed a free society without capitalism.

On the other hand, capitalism can work perfectly well without free society. There is another problem with capitalism and democracy, capitalists compete with workers(non capitalists) for access to elected(or not) officials. They use power(money,connections, etc) to influence officials, which erodes democracy, in some cases, to the point where democracy is in name only. Normal people have a little influence on policies, while capitalists reap benefits of captured democracy.

>What country society do you have in mind? I'm genuinely curious.

I really don't know, but I believe that world without homeless people, starving children, sick without access to medicine is possible. I hope that socialism/capitalism hybrid(with democracy having control over capitalism, not other way around https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codetermination_in_Germany) will help in making it possible, but there are no guarantees it will. But I know that I don't really want to LARP Mad Max in real life.

I, for one, live in the US and have absolutely been gaslit by multiple physicians. They are reluctant to order tests, to refer to specialists, and to try medications. They are not reluctant in the least to assume that any and all problems are in my head. Maybe they are. But it's an undemonstrated assumption they make because they see MDD on my chart. They're skeptical that anything is actually wrong.

It took over six months and five visits to two different doctors to get a referral to an orthopedicist. Turned out my cubital tunnel had collapsed on my ulnar nerve, crushing it. The surgeon said that I shouldn't have waited so long to see him, because the damage was so severe. Yeah, well, I tried. Insurance doesn't cover specialists without a referral from a generalist, and I am at their mercy.

It's been over five years now since that surgery, and I still deal with nerve pain and weakness in that arm. Nobody cares. Oh well.

Lol, this has been disproven time and time again across all markets including autos. People pay for brands and status. If your reasoning were true why would BMW’s be so much more desirable than a Honda Civic?

> The market right now is absolutely flooded with indie games, some light pruning is probably for the best.

By arbitrarily removing perfectly working older games? This is why indie devs such as Vlambeer that used to make quality mobile games now avoid ios and android like the plague.

https://variety.com/2019/gaming/features/android-ios-apple-g...

The result of this is mobile games require significantly more upkeep then games on PC or consoles, and as a result the only games that are profitable in the long run are those that exploit their users with f2p microtransactions.

The end result of this is the sea of uninspired exploitative trash that makes up the games market on ios and android.
