“What makes [blockchains] unique, however, is that they allow developers to write code that makes strong commitments about how that code will behave in the future. It is that property that makes it possible for Bitcoin to guarantee that there will only ever be 21 million bitcoins.“

This is either a really bad misunderstanding of how Bitcoin works or it’s just a blatant lie. The parameters of the Bitcoin mining algorithm can be adjusted if the mining community chooses to. There is nothing about the technology that mandates “how that code will behave in the future”.
Then it seems like you’ve just stated a tautology. Things don’t change unless they do.
I mean, arguably, most of the valuation of his companies are dependent almost entirely on his presence on social media -- Twitter being an essential piece of that.

I mean Tesla P/E is like 209. 209!! GM PE is at 6.

Where does this tremendous difference come from? A Tesla evangelist would say, well Tesla is doing self driving, Tesla is doing electric cars, it's the future of technology! Then they go buy shares. Or join Tesla as an engineer and work 90 hour weeks.

Where does this enthusiasm come from? Surely it isn't from the actual technology in the cars, which is and has never been distinguished to such a degree from competitors. Before you go and say that Telsa had electric cars first, go look at how many units they shipped: while they were making promises, they were not physically manufacturing or delivering that many cars; by the time Tesla did ramp up production to the scale promised by their media image, consumers could buy electric cars from Ford, Toyota, GM.

Simply put, most of this stellar valuation is based entirely off of the media sensation of Tesla, which is completely and inextricably bound to the media sensation of Elon Musk. This $50bn or whatever Elon is paying for Twitter is basically fabricated from whole cloth not by technology or fundamentals -- but from Elon's Twitter itself!

This is a common pattern to Elon's business ventures, and I would argue, it's the primary reason for the success of Musk companies. The playbook is simple:

1. Be Elon Musk

2. Make an insane promise, probably on Twitter

3. Convince redditors to buy shares in the venture;

4. Meanwhile, convince redditor STEM people (engineers, programmers, and so on) to work like dogs to make the venture possible;

5. Stay in the news cycle [Post on Twitter] about the venture.

6. Keep doing (5) until the technology is possible (this can actually happen sometimes, because of step 4!). If it's not possible, extend the hype cycle due by doing more of (5); if it's never possible, either bail out the venture using shares from a different venture, or shutter it -- and make sure Elon newswire isn't paying attention to the fact that it failed, by doing another (2)!

If you can do a few of these things at once, you can get basically all redditors to give you their money to hire all redditors to attempt this insane shit (Mars? Humanoid Robots? Brain Computer Links???). I'm thoroughly convinced that nobody on planet earth except for Elon Musk can do it. It's actually incredible what he's able to accomplish. And no, I'm not talking about the technology.
It's especially great if you live forever, as in 55 years you'll triple it and in 73 you'll quadruple it!
Hm I don't understand your point here. I do not know their Android app either but looked up the screenshots and this seems to be pretty similar to their iOS app, which is basically a small, highly functional and incredibly fast version of their website (which means you get all the features like creating aliases as well). Sadly, this means there is pretty much no offline capability. At least until now, but I know they're working on that.
iOS only needs to be a client and it has standard CalDAV/CardDAV clients built into the OS. I've used Radicale— it works OK for very basic functionality, but doing something as simple as making a shared calendar involves creating one in the GUI, logging into the server and sym linking them between user directories.

The nice thing about the groupware functionality in Apple Server is that it used all of these standard protocols so it was entirely interoperable with other devices AND it had a nice smooth administration experience.

At the moment, I just pay $15/mo for Cloudron which handles email, is decently smooth for administration though a little more disjointed between the apps than I'd prefer, and can "one click" deploy Radicale, NextCloud, Sogo, et. al. I used to administer servers but it's not what I do now and I have no interested in sinking non-work time into work-like tasks.
I’ll add another one:

So little substance to this argument. And he cherry picks various points?

> Medical experts admitted that, once the hyper-infectious Omicron became the dominant variant of COVID, cloth masks were perhaps better than nothing, but not by much.

Yes, "cloth" masks. Do not wear cloth masks. K95 and other medical grade masks that actually work as a barrier? Yea those are effective.

Rest of the argument seems to boil down to people not actually following the mandate consistently, which is not actually any argument against the effectiveness of mask wearing per se.
By overseas contract worker do you mean immigrant in the us or someone employed in a country other than the us?
> upgrading is basically as expensive as laying new line

That assertion is highly dependent on too many factors and even recent developments to be of much use.

That general assertion needs to be backed up with everything around the soil type, the copper diameter, labour costs, protocols and type of fibre, etc., etc.

And if you’re going down the route of having VDSL ISAMs in the field anyway then you’re certainly going to have the infrastructure there already anyway to support GPON over whatever fibre is in the ground anyway.

And are you sure that by “copper’s capabilities” you’re not actually referring to progressively closer deployment of infrastructure to the customer to overcome copper’s limitations? Because the move from dial any number to the local exchange to a node (FTTN) to now the curb (FTTC) certainly seems to reflect that more adequately.
There exists more than a “communism to laissez-fairs capitalism” axis when people are talking about right vs left. I don’t think it’s productive to point this out when I think it’s generally understood what they mean in this specific context. In “mainstream” American politics (by which we can define by what appears on television and newspapers”) “left” implies mostly advancing the progressive front on racial and sexual issues, as distinguished from the American right, which would rather stop where we are on those social issues and cut taxes or something. Both of them sometimes play a little lip service to the other issues but not much more, since most other things are dictated by long-term service personnel and/or large mega corporations.

Even that I don’t think should really be thought of as a single axis - though they’re few enough now, there’s reactionaries who see capitalism as the source of all modern ills beginning with a very old ideological tradition that would look down just as much on communism.
Good video on the subject, including the intermediate step that never left the drawing board - a 747 crammed full of "microfighters" as a flying aircraft carrier for manned fighters.

Sure but the "niche-tier" live sports are very valuable their audience, which cannot be said of the CNN+ content. ESPN+ is very popular in my social circle to watch college baseball, womens' sports, some MLS and European soccer, and more obscure games in the big college leagues.

Not only is there no alternative for this content, it was unavailable entirely before ESPN+ launched. Of course I'm not defending the lack of cable ESPN content on ESPN+; I would love to have that as well.
> the iPhone has effectively likely annihilated a generation worth of fun gadgetry

This just doesn’t ring true. It’s a golden age of fun gadgetry. It’s easier than ever before to combine off the shelf components (e.g. ESP8266) with a myriad of sensors and other devices. Can you expand on what you mean and what you’re referring yo?

You seem to be implying that the Playdate will annihilate a generation of gaming gadgetry? I also don’t understand this when there’s a rich ecosystem of gadgetry all focused on various forms of gaming. Granted, most of those are focused on emulation, but the hardware is capable of more.

They don't have to make the best decision to advance the interests of the shareholders. It is impossible to know if an option that wasn't taken would have been better. They're require to act in a reasonable way that fits market norms and the data they had at the time. The decision of whether to accept Musk's proposal, regardless of how much he claims it to be the "best thing to do", is very subjective and complex. As long as they don't rely on immaterial facts (such as their dislike of Musk), it's impossible to prove that they made the wrong decision because we can't A/B test reality. They might still believe that Twitter can be worth $60B in a year and if they have enough data to support that, they can do whatever they think is right.
> The supply of content has exploded by several orders of magnitude. Much of it is totally free. Heck, some evenings I pause a show and find myself having spent 2 hours scrolling tiktok.

i'm of the opinion that a big reason for this is while quantity has gone up, quality has plummeted. if you were watching something interesting/worthwhile, you would have been less likely to find tiktok more interesting than the crap on netflix.
To be fair to Musk, humans are pretty @#$%@#$ bad.

What? I am reading the English translation and it seems based in truth to me.

1. The US of course has technical talent. However the vast majority would rather work in in the higher margin software industry, not hardware. If I am intelligent/hard-working enough in America to understand the physics behind semi-conductors, I would rather apply that to prop trading than Intel.

2. Manager-employee customs are vastly different across cultures. What is institutionalized in Japan is harassment in America. If he says Taiwan has a sufficiently different culture, I believe him.

Your quote might have been “fake” and intended to convince you that they offer fiber to your address when they actually don’t. I went through this with Comcast in San Jose. Requested the service, weeks of run arounds and “we lost your ticket I’ll make a new one” followed by increasingly ludicrous quotes starting at $500 and then going up to $20000(!). All when the map on their site showed a trunk in my neighborhood. Eventually I started playing along just for a laugh, until they finally fessed up and said they don’t offer fiber in my neighborhood at all.

Some sort of fraud? I dunno.
So.... let's say that was even possible, and you did that.

You pay: $20,000 in $some_coin (ignoring gas fees for the moment)
1/100 of annual royalties is $1,142, taxable at your marginal rate (say 20%), so $913 free-and-clear.

Even without doing discounted cash-flow magic, that gets you to an annual 4.5% annual rate of return. Not great, not terrible.

BUT, you're doing this all in NFT-land, which means either you hold it (in a cold wallet, ready to be shown once the next royalty agency asks who owns this stuff), some other entity holds it (and you trust them and pay their fees), and no one has stolen your metaphorical apes over the next 21 years, which is just what it would take to make back the investment. Also, making the double-bank-shot bet that courts will recognize NFTs as proof of ownership, and that the NFT itself does not become taxable property, as a security.

Short of some kind of presumably inherent joy in interacting with a smart contract, I'm really not sure what you intend to gain, here.
You’ve got a point on there being a demand for low density housing but wouldn’t zoning be able to prevent the sprawl the same way it’s currently encouraging it? They could easily(for certain values of easy, it’s probably politically infeasible) zone land as not developable
> same areas are without cell service

Good idea but not exactly.

- In Ukraine (similar to other ex-USSR countries) govt laws require from phone companies, to provide service "at least 8 hours after power off". To be exact, this is requirement of all phone licenses, land and cell.

So in real life, on most cell towers accumulators withstand much more - I have worked in telecoms, 24h of work without power is normal for them.

For smartphone power, in Ukraine most people have powerbanks, so also could tweet for 24h and more.

But when without power for few days or more, sure business activity fall and less people will be active on internet.

Also huge factor in this war, huge number of refugees. Even considering not all people flee abroad, but about 12 millions (from approx 40 millions) moved from east/north/south regions to west regions.
If you go `no_std` I'm confident both would work - I think the current windows stdlib implementation still might be too much for those.

> How so? All symmetric crypto algorithms at their basic level that I am aware of do not change the message size at all.

That's because you are not aware of the importance of authentication.

Without authentication, your system is not secure: an attacker might intercept messages, and modify them undetected. The key word here is "ciphertext malleability". And once they can do that, they can cause the recipient to react in ways it should not, and in some cases the recipient might even leak secrets.

Sometimes (like disk encryption) the size overhead is really really really inconvenient, and the risk of interception is lower, so you break the rule and skip it anyway. But unless you are in a similar situation (you probably aren't), you must use authentication. It's only professional.

In practice, that means you should use authenticated encryption. Authenticated encryption is used everywhere, including HTTPS. And yes, it has a small size overhead. Usually 16 bytes per message, like AES-GCM and RFC 8439 (ChaPoly). Per message. Not per block. So the actual overhead is very low in practice. And again, it's the price you have to pay to get a secure system.

---

Use authenticated encryption.

Accept the overhead like everyone else.

Resistance is futile.

Thank you for reading my mind and calling me totally deranged. Very rational and not deranged of you.

Here are some sample tweets I might want to post.

"I'm not saying Elon has killed anyone, but he owns a lot of property where bodies could be buried. Why aren't the authorities looking into this?"

"Fact: Tesla cars are killing more people than any other cause." Yes, it it is patently false, and that is the point.

"People are saying that Elon is forcing his numerous lovers to get abortions. Does anyone know if this is true?" Hey, I'm just asking questions.

I believe twitter accounts allow posting a very short description. I'd probably put something like "Testing the limits of twitter's free speech."
Maybe three different 'bands' of production:

* cutting / bleeding edge (as now)
* 80/20 trailing edge (5 year LTS of cutting edge)
* Cost focused 'lifetime' LTS

It seems like the cutting edge is built, and transitioned to the 80/20 already. It's that cost focused bulk components / entry level that lacks investment or even planning.

Maybe that's where some industry development and co-ordination from regulators could help establish a market that's healthy.
I've had several friends and family use those "we fix phones" places to fix their iPhone. They're often their own form of a scam - you pay $100 and they "fix" your phone for 30-90 days. I've seen it happen many times.
The 1983 election saw a 1.5% swing of the vote away from the Conservative party; the Conservatives gained 58 seats largely due to the splitting of the vote between the Labour and Alliance parties - taking 61% of the seats with only about 42% of the vote. The 1987 election was along the same lines.

That these victories were landslides says more about the vagaries of the first-past-the-post electoral system than it does about the popularity of the Conservative party from 1979-1987.

Possibly better: don’t use gas, but enclose an aerogel such as aerographene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerographene) in a strong enough, airtight shell and pump out most of the air.

One of the engineering challenges will be to make this strong enough to withstand the air pressure without getting too heavy. That may require finding new aerogels. You probably also want an aerogel that doesn’t burn easily.

The whole "Nintendo forgot to set the O2 optimization flag" thing has been somewhat debunked, or at best it's misleading. ModernVintageGamer did a video discussing the topic that's pretty well-researched

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKlbE2eROC0

To summarize what he says: since the game was a launch title, it was likely being compiled with an early, less-stable compiler/SDKs, with known bugs that wouldn't be fixed until later (he even cited some official developer documentation that mentions this). So setting that flag could have caused known issues/instability at the time so they just left the optimization out.

And the other thing is the game is using a lot of libraries that were indeed compiled with the O2 flag, and the performance drop by removing those is far more significant than the tiny gain by adding it to the top-level of the makefile where the rumor suggested it should have been added.
I believe the term for that is treason.
