All companies cook their earnings to a certain extent, exactly in view of having a nice, regular, consistent performance... because markets over-react (in one way or another) to anything that is not nice, regular, consistent.

The only thing not subject to interpretation is cash, but you have kind of the reverse problem: most of the time, it's difficult to intepret anything from it... of course, that's why modern accounting was invented.

I find it interesting how people always judge products based on their v1.

Yes it has flaws, but early adopters will put up with it, and future iterations will be much better. I think we need to ask ourselves whether, if some things improved, this is a good idea.

And I like it.

Very cool. I'm convinced that as innovators start taking climate change more seriously, we're going to see incredible new products and processes. I'm sure it won't be enough to quell the death cult hysteria, but will make a huge impact in course correction.
I don't have any arguments against that, I just don't find the parts about IT-illiterate and blockchains being popular to be controversial.

Blockchains standardized an addressing namespace and proliferation of signing tools that are on the path to being ubiquitous. Other niches failed to do that. Speculation drives innovation. Blockchains have tradeoffs, the addressing namespace and signing doesn't actually use the blockchain or any consensus mechanism.

(address validation has to be done client side most times! some networks have added consensus level rules to add node level validation).
> > Not sure where that idea comes from, but Disney absolutely pays taxes and your claim is false.

> It is absolutely true. Stop lying.

Disney paid $780 million dollars in state and local taxes in FY 2021. Florida law does not allow an entity to be charged a different county property tax rate than other citizens. That's why, if the special district is dissolved, every property owner in Orange and Osceola will be facing a 20% property tax hike: the counties can't simply charge Disney a higher property tax rate to cover the costs of providing Disney infrastructure and services.

> which comes with tax advantages which are shared by no other corporation or individual in the nation.

You mean not shared by any of the 1844 other special districts in Florida, including Sea World, Universal, and other theme parks, HOAs, fire and water districts, law libraries, energy facilities, etc.?

Can you be more explicit about the tax advantages of municipal bonds compared to corporate bonds that you are referring to? You make an overly broad claim, here.

> Again, a privilege enjoyed exclusively by Disney Corp.

And, again, you are wrong. That privilege ("right", really, since it's enshrined in law), is afforded to a number of other entities in Florida (see above). And similar arrangements exist in many, if not most, other states.
Yeah, so the reflective LCD technology isn't quite dead. I guess when both reflectivity and quick refresh rates are required, monochrome LCD is still the only solution, since Liquavista and Mirasol were discontinued. For color displays there is simply no solution at all with decent reflectivity I believe. The E Ink Gallery 3 display seems to mostly solve the low reflectivity problem, since it does not rely on standard additive sub-pixel color mixing. But there is no similar solution for higher refresh rates. There were improved Mirasol prototypes which apparently solved the issue, but shortly after they were shown, the development of the Mirasol technology was discontinued.
Only problem is you gotta get the gas to the east coast on the americas, and that’s where a lot of the demand is already.

Though it makes you wonder what kind of gas fields might exist along the way. As it goes, we exploit the oil and flare the gas. Pffft.

I usually buy the cage free, free range, ethical eggs. They are often better tasting anyways and although they are expensive, they still are cheaper sources of quality protein than anything else.

I've noticed that the price of battery hen eggs are starting to come up to nearly 50% of the cage free variety with very little change in the price of the ethical-ish eggs. I wonder how much of that is because battery and barn hens are way more likely to have problems like this.

I'm not sure that I follow what you are saying. Are you suggesting the expectation is that each flight yields one photo? It takes milliseconds not minutes to take a photo. I would expect this thing to be taking photos nearly continuously during flight which would make flight time the most informative metric.

This is my take as well. From the article I can see why writing a library that works on anything and with anything would be hard in Golang, but I bet that's not what Golang is mostly used for. If I'm writing a millionth custom warehouse inventory app, I really don't care about hexadecimal filenames, I just want to ship it and get paid and Go is great for that.

So you say you have $1000/month out of $1800 that are unrelated to providing rent in the unit being rented and you feel there is no possibility that you're capturing some sort of economic rent when you have more than 50% profit margin on the rent you charge. I think something is bullshit but it's not the economic theory.

Not necessarily..tons of financial transactions are purely digital (currency exchange, stocks, derivatives etc).

You can also tokenize a real world asset (for example a token representing an amount of gold). Then you have to trust the issuer of the token, but it's very possible you trust that issuer but don't trust your counterparty.

Feel free to add an extra percentage point for a 10Y/30Y swap.

One interesting hypothesis is that the focus on fixed-rate 30Y mortgages is fundamentally destabilizing for the US and world economy, because the stability and optionality of 30Y mortgages is paid for by added volatility of the 10Y debt market through those same swaps. Per this theory, US 30Y fixed-rate mortgages are effectively subsidized by the rest of the world. https://byrnehobart.medium.com/the-30-year-mortgage-is-an-in...

Honestly if this is a problem, you haven't designed/structured the product design or marketing well enough. You should be focusing on pitching the economics rather than the technical implementation.

And then you want is to have a product plan that makes you essential to the process of productization. If you can't or haven't done that - you indeed run this risk you probably won't get that far.

You want to pitch the market problem, your market solutions without details, and then how you can provide that solution. You do need to be able to "pull out the technical proof" as required but it should not be the center of the pitch.

The other thing to remember: most money people have (relatively) no technical skills sufficient to implement anything they are funding - they are looking to fund an implementor - that's why you would get money. They definitely DO NOT WANT to know the details until you've passed the economic "close" first. Then they may have an industry expert review your technical plan.

For other "exits/deals" like being bought by a large company in the industry, there is actually a bigger risk of pitch-and-run unless the company doesn't current have a presence in the market/technology area or they are looking for a "quick time to market" by buying you. Again you can make yourself essential in an implementor role.

Again focus on the economic need 90%. The technical is usually just a "turn the crank" thing with the right people (paid the right salaries).

You should watch The Social Dilemma, if you haven't. It's quite a good summary of issues with social media, all of which are present on Facebook/Instagram.

Social media exploits human behavior, often in the worst ways. You say people aren't zombies, but people aren't rational actors, either, they are people. Human behavior lies somewhere in between zombie and rational actor, rarely completely at one extreme. This is where the responsibility of a megacorp controlling the world's largest social media platform comes in. People can have their behavior manipulated on these platforms, and advertising is the proof - why would advertisers spend if it didn't work?

Social media is definitely more than a mirror, and FB deserves the general negative sentiment it gets because it consistently fails to self regulate in the interest of its users or the general public. FB has two objective functions due to its corporate structure: 1) shareholder profit; 2) Zuckerberg's agenda (currently the Metaverse, previously user growth).
I personally haven't seen any problem solved by the blockchain thus far. However I do think the whole ecosystem is flooded with 'morons' who believe its just the solution to everything. Usually people who don't know what they're talking about and only thinking of the money side of it.

There is value in almost every new technology, I think blockchain and co haven't gotten a bad rap thanks to the 'morons' who are basically just 'pumping and dumping' or 'hyping' to make quick money. Which IMO is a shame because it stops the real innovation taking place.

It could be something, but it's been given (rightly so) a stigma thanks to the cult of 'crypto bros'. So far a waste of potential.
If one of my SEs came to me with this story, I'd be quite worried as his manager. The post he wrote seems to be more therapeutic than instructive...
Well, I tried with some one else who also didn't feel any spatial effect. I think it depends on whether the binaural recording was done with a head/ear shape similar to yours. So you'll just have to take my word for it that the audio positioning is very accurate. A good HRTF implementation should be calibrated to your head, Sony was talking about that when discussing the PS5's spatial audio: https://youtu.be/ph8LyNIT9sg?t=2979

> 45-day battery life

Wow, that's probably the first time an always-on electronic device actually surpassed my Nokia 6310's 21-day battery life in the last two decades. It's really hard to imagine a cellphone charge lasting for three weeks today. How far we've come :P
There's also "degree inflation" to take into account. There are so many people in the labor force with university degrees that it stops being a differentiator in the marketplace so job descriptions update to a new differentiator and start requiring post-grad degrees. Soon after entire school districts require a Masters degree to even start the interview process. Then that becomes enough of a norm that Universities pick up on that and make it a part of their positioning/marketing/"good advice" to students: you need at least a Masters if you want a job, so you should plan for a Masters. Targeted schools start to appear such as 5-year Masters programs designed to build so much inertia (taking Masters courses alongside junior/senior undergrad courses) and indeed sunk cost that the Masters seems like the natural outcome rather than the optional "next step".

(Disclaimer: my own graduate degree was probably an expensive mistake that sometimes I regret and sometimes I'm quite proud of even if the job market doesn't care. My experience is not entirely related to the Masters of Education snowball described above, but I can see that snowball having happened from the outside a bit easier knowing what my own experience was.)
Yes, definitely, this and all related problems people have with focus and attention on modern devices is just because they aren't virtuous enough.

You're quite right that wood biomass is not fully carbon-neutral when fossil fuels are expended in harvesting it and transporting it.

UK biomass is estimated to have a total-lifecycle carbon footprint of 230g CO2 per kWh. This is much worse than wind, solar, or nuclear. But still a very significant improvement on burning coal and natural gas! Compared to coal, it's about a 4x improvement.
It's certainly not a prison of those two ideas.

As another user mentioned: cash free bail, decriminalizing drugs, those things have little to do with homelessness but do wreck the safety of a city.

Yes cities have homelessness, Nashville always had some, but it wasn't that bad, it's gotten much worse.

But from my perspective, the main problem is these people are now tweaked out in broad daylight, or shooting up, needles everywhere in the park.

These progressive policies incentivize people to act like this, which churns out more people on the street.

Focusing on jobs, mental illness, and rehab programs would be the best thing you could do for homelessness, not encouraging the behavior and building shanty towns.
Right, I fully understand that, and it's an important fact.

One of the problems with hardware constantly better is we are increasingly becoming modes tolerant of poorly optimized code.

I think this is going to be one of those things where we learn that nobody actually cares about any of that outside these forums. MP3s were garbage, early camera phones were garbage, Snap picture quality generally is garbage, bluetooth headphones suck, all of these things were and are decried by the tech community, and it turns out that people just don't care, because even at garbage quality it's still cool to have a robot take your picture.
The problem simply is: working with natural light with energy efficient systems on a mainly document-based flow.

Of those notes: I have used mouse pointers with E-Ink and had little issue - only, I also had touchscreen so the mouse was in general unnecessary. That statement about hypertext is absurd: hypertext consumption is fine on E-Ink - provided your purpose is to read those hypertexts, instead of using the web in some "different" way, by the way alien from what it was intended. And video is usable, though suboptimal, if needed - the technology was not born for that, but just in case it can cope.

The practical verification is given: there are people who have been using large E-Ink devices, coupled with keyboards, for a long time, to work on documents.

And again let us suggest an important thing: if you actually have to work intellectually on a document, the same contents will remain in front of you for a relatively long time. This makes a technology "cheap on state retention, costly on state switch" the sensible solution.
I am not sure of your Hoover discharge figures. St Lawrence is about 17,000 cubic meters per second. Hoover is far far smaller about 3,300 cubic meters per second. St Lawrence is over 5 times as large.

Drones need power FAST for short bursts (aka one flight). I don’t know if the iPhone battery supports that usage. It would be cool though if the phone could be a truly universal tool like that.
It's definitely supposed to do that, but only on mobile. Maybe it just hasn't been tested on Firefox (or recent versions of Firefox).
I don't really have any interest in solving a problem I don't think makes sense to solve? I fundamentally don't think "using your wallet to log in to your porn" is a good idea, and I don't think any amount of education is going to change that. There's just no reason this needs to be solved with blockchain. It doesn't add anything useful except that a bunch of people suddenly have private keys but don't know what they even really are.

Like I said, I think password managers and totp software are just inherently better positioned to 'solve' this (if it needs solving).

Also, I've long since lost any interest in participating get rich quick schemes built on fads, so "it's a lucrative space" isn't really the appeal you think it is.

> What did you mean by this?

Sometimes people lose their phones.
It's not a good idea to use Ctrl + s and Ctrl + q as default keybindings for any important functionality on the terminal because terminals traditionally used them to stop/resume terminal output. Some terminal emulators still do this, so making people press those keys unwittingly would be problematic. So no, nano developers aren't being non-sensical here.
This is a pretty good sign that its time to short SNAP. This is so far outside their core competency, and in such a crowded market, that they must be desperate to try this.

My first thought was that the "novel about footbal" TFA was talking about simply _had_ to be 17776. And that whatever else had no chance of even being close to how mind blowing that story is. And lo, turned out to be a regular novel but by the same author. I'll go ahead and read it now, the man's brilliant.
While I agree, I don't think this should be a fair primary reason. Unless you also feel the same about everything else that consumes more electricity than it could.
There wouldn't be a concern if all energy was green for example, that should be where the energy hostility should be pointed. Trying to complain about the blockchain and its useage on power is an XY problem for me.
While the electricity problem does need to be addressed, do not be so quick to lump all blockchain users, advocates, and researchers into a single hideous glob.

There is value to be achieved, I think, in a more nuanced approach.

> When the last reference to an object that is the sole owner of a large graph of other objects gets decremented, the entire object graph must be immediately deallocated. It's possible for a single dereference to trigger an unbounded amount of deallocation.

Two things:

1. Unbounded may be technically true, but it's really not a hard problem to ensure that time-critical runtime deallocations either rarely happen or are simply never huge chains of objects that release each other. Source: Used C++ & boost::shared_ptr/boost::weak_ptr extensively in game development and never had unexpected jank due to deallocations.

2. There's no actual reason that the full deallocation needs to happen immediately in all reference counting implementations. If you have hard time or latency constraints you could queue up the actual dereferencing and ensure that you only dereference a certain number of objects per time period.

Yes, #2 changes some assumptions about when objects will be dereferenced; in C++ one might rely on guarantees that objects are immediately released along with associated resources. But if you go into a project knowing that it needed to support deferred reference counting, manually releasing critical resources is hardly the worst thing you'd need to do.

The employee working in the state (in this case California) is a physical nexus of the company within that state. There's no reaching outside the state's jurisdiction, the company literally has a physical presence inside the state! Just because it's not using commercial real estate (offices) or doesn't have customer-facing shops there doesn't magically make the employees working there non-physical.
