TLDR: This is a worse version of WorldCoin 2.0. Nothing new and totally not a ponzi scheme. /s

Long version: This is a scam. Why? This crap has been tried before. [0][1]

> Later this year we’re launching GLO, an ethereum-based cryptocurrency.

Here we go again...

> Once we're live, every human can verify their identity by going through a KYC process. Verified humans get a weekly airdrop of GLO for free: that's the basic income.

WorldCoin 2.0 reheated, repackaged and rebranded.

> If people and businesses adopt GLO as a means of payment, the fact that they're using GLO as money sustains the value of the coin.

Given that Ethereum is totally expensive and sluggish for payments it doesn't stand a chance at being a new means of 'payment'. And No. Side-chains like Polygon are duck-taped contraptions that add more complexity to the user using it.

Regardless, It is still using Ethereum PoW.

> If GLO replaces all government created money...

> GLO users form an economy that generates money “out of thin air”—money that complements any existing, donation-driven poverty reduction initiatives. The higher our GDP, the more we generate.

OK. Stop right there and get the fuck out.

Quick question: Why does such blatant obvious nonsense get posted here? This is admitting that it's another ponzi WorldCoin clone. Perhaps it's due to the association with the GitLab CEO which really is somewhat strange. Do we need to repeat once again many times that Ethereum is enabling the scams and ponzi scheme running rampant on it?

Instead of propagating this garbage why not look at this interesting post (BGP on Blockchain) [2].

That's really not a factor. The most popular semi truck in America, the Cascadia, is rated for 52,000 lbs GVWR. Kenworth T680 has a 64,000 lbs GVWR. Both far short of the 80,000 lbs limit.

The eCascadia has a 230 mile range on a 475 kWh battery. If you make that 1.5 MWh, it'll handle essentially any trip a single driver can make before his workday is over. A 1.5 MWh battery works out to ~17,500 lbs. Subtract the engine, exhaust, and fuel weight from those trucks and the majority of tractor trailers on the road will still be under the legal weight limit.

The largest factor is the lack of charging (detouring to hit a charger is very costly) and the cost of batteries that size.
Not that I read in that string of tweets. The closest I saw was the assertion that managers used Maslow's hierarchy as a way to justify increasing morale without pay raises.

Which doesn't seem like it relates to the shape of the diagram (or any other representation of the hierarchy) at all.

It's not just building enough homes. The cost of building has gone up a ton as well.

The median age of a home in the US is 37 years, which means 50% of homes were built before 1985. Compare building codes from before 1985 and 2022 and it's a huge difference. Now housing codes are there for our safety, but we also need to recognize that it makes homes much more expensive and complex all while 50% of people are living in homes built under "less safe" code standards and are just fine.

I myself live in a home built in 1967. It's a lovely home and just as livable as a home built today. Only a few select projects were needed to improve safety in places that mattered like replacing the electrical panel and some modifications to my deck.

When going through insurance pricing in the case of catastrophe (fire/earthquake/landslide) with my insurer, they estimated that the cost to rebuild my home today to modern standards is equal to our purchase price for the home and the land, which is crazy and gets even crazier when you consider that the cost of the land is about 2/3 of the value of my property.

Furthermore, the more labor and complexity that goes into building a home, the more homebuilders focus on upscale homes instead of mass market homes because of opportunity cost, especially when the permitting process is also so onerous. The only cheaply built housing options these days are apartments and condos. 40+ years ago we were building full single family homes for the cost of building an apartment today. That's insane.
I feel like regardless of the reasons they did it, whether or not it was necessary, they lost a lot of good faith with the users when they locked the GME and crypto trading during that whole thing. I have no idea how necessary their actions were but regardless of its necessity it still cost a lot of user good will.

The local community can’t afford to assume the districts responsibility even if the bond debt is assumed by the state.
In the last few years, there's been some nostalgia in the US over pensions, but people tend to forget that they're tied to employers, so people feel tied to jobs because they're building up a pension, and the pension is often managed by and dependent on the employer's business in some way.
Each time I learn more about it, this arrangement seems crazier. It was strange enough that private companies are allowed to run their own local governments in Florida. Now it turns out they're also allowed to issue tax advantaged municipal debt, and transfer that debt to taxpayers if this sweet deal ever ends.

It's true that Reedy Creek is being singled out because Disney has fallen out of favor, but I'm still hoping there is some flaw in this arrangement that leads to the end of all special districts now that people are paying attention.

It depends on what you mean by "making money", but yes.

Basically, the "expected value" of a private insurance payout is usually not too different from the "expected value" of a medicare payout.

The sticker price of a private insurance payout is very high. The accounting department of providers love the sticker price, because they can carry them forward as payable liabilities, but a large proportion of private insurer payouts and patient deductibles are never realized. Stark contrast to medicare.

On its last iteration of cores, SiFive had shrunk the gap to being only within 2 years of ARM's best processors.

Yet catching up simply couldn't be done before because RISC-V was lacking functionality. As of December's 15 new ratified extensions, this is no longer the case.

Several companies are currently working on high performance implementations.

One of them is Tenstorrent, where there's a team led by Jim Keller working on this. It is supposed to enter the market near the end of this year.

I do suspect it is going to take less than 5 years to see RISC-V take the performance crown.

The first time was hearing about a startup that used OCaml on one of the monthly hackernews Who is hiring thread. The current day job was also somewhat similar in that I had read about a startup's job listing on the OCaml forum [1], checked with them again a while later (the startup was acquired by another company), and found an open role on the team that continued to use OCaml after the acquisition.

> it but it seems like there are very very few jobs that use it primarily.

I completely agree. I never tried looking for an OCaml job mostly because there weren't enough options at-least in the US (I'm based in USA), and I am picky about who I work for and wasn't interested in exploring job opportunities at companies working on cryptocurrencies. I just got lucky that I stumbled upon two different companies that used OCaml. The first time around I applied for the job because of OCaml, the second time around it was because I liked the company and OCaml was an added bonus on top.

>To send a message that dissent from the business community will not be tolerated.

And as a consequence it means less business will ever come to Florida which is a disaster for them. It also means any existing businesses in Florida are likely to move more of their new work outside of the state. It's really a bad decision on DeSantis' part and I don't think he cares obviously but his party does.

This part is still horribly true though.

Emmisions related to livestock are 5.8% of _all_ global CO2 and other GHG emissions [0]

In comparison Transport emissions are 16.2%. [0]

The steel industry as a single industry accounts for 7.2% of emissions.[0]

Methane leaks from Oil and gas drill sites and abandoned wells alone account for 5.8% of global emissions. [0]

Sure we need to look into all fronts but before we guilt people into oat milk shouldn't we, via policy, enforce leak cleanup of abandoned Oil&Gas drill sites?

Hm. So what legal framework do "hobos" use?

Surely it's not illegal to be homeless with a lot of money and skills.

(a) Let's say you spend 1 week in each state for 50 weeks of the year. Where do you file your taxes?

(b) Let's say you spend 1 week in each of 50 countries and work for AirBNB. You have no house, and no lease on a residence. Let's say it's mutual, e.g. you want to do this, and from their perspective, it's helping them because you're dogfooding their product. How do you deal with the legal side of it?
Oh, boy... go take a look at Greece more touristy spots. It's more profitable to keep the house closed for 8 months in the year and only rent in the season. It's much harder to avoid reporting income from normal lease, while with AirBNB you can just "forget" to report it, or even easier, just offer a small discount if they pay cash.

Maslow's Hierarchy for me too. Why does the shape even matter? That's not the point.

The amount of hype surrounding C++ in 1993 is really hard to believe these days. You couldn't walk in to a Walden Books or a B. Dalton book store without seeing it in the entry at the mall.

I think it's a cost thing. I bet those older tanks require a good bit of strength to operate, so to replacing an insulated human that cost a few hundred dollars a day at most with robotics that can withstand 600 degree operating temperatures and still reliably exerting the forces needed to control the tank would be a tall order and it would take a long time to earn back the equivalent expense
Agreed. I was preparing to be told I've been bamboozled about Maslov. Fortunately the critique was limited to (a) non-authentic visualization of a hierarchy and (b) someone has misused a theory.
Thanks, I didn't know there was an explicit term for this (though I should have guessed). It is a pity though that the map that they use to illustrate the data is divided into administrative divisions that are not really comparable: England, Wales and Scotland for Great Britain, but all 17 autonomous communities for Spain.
Wouldn't the local community collect a lot more taxes if the district didn't exist? As I understand it (admittedly not very well), right now Disney is effectively "paying taxes" to itself.

The VSCode plugin and language server are really good.

my understanding about this is that milk production is not subsidized so that poor people can afford it, but so that farmers can afford to continue producing it. in some places milk production is not profitable and farmers would go out of business without government support.

the price they get paid for their milk does not depend on what the consumers would be willing to pay, but on the large milk production companies who buy all their milk and dictate what they are willing to pay, and without subsidies they would simply buy their milk elsewhere.
And your home address is going to determine your default state/local tax situation in the US. (Though above certain thresholds you may be supposed to file multiple state taxes that are reconciled with each other. This mostly comes into play with business travel which companies are tracking.)
I think this kind of framing of the question is very close to being a sly form of gaslighting.

What people want to know is not whether the current state of things is "normal". After all, death, sickness, war, hunger, disease and crime are all perfectly normal. Everyone gets that at some level. What most people want to know is what the fuck happened with the metanarrative that we were fed for the last several decades. Is it defunct and debunked? If it is, that has obvious implications in terms of who we should trust and who we should empower.
The pyramid implies (to me, at least) that the lower layers are absolutely necessary for the next layer up. It appears that Maslow himself wasn't so absolute about it, and referred to the degree with which lower-level needs were fulfilled.

It is arguable that the "absolute" interpretation is not fundamental to either the pyramid or the hierarchy. It's still probably a good first order approximation to get the point across: you're gonna have trouble with upper layers if you have any serious deficiencies in lower layers.
Indeed, Maslow never drew anything like that. The psychologist Scott Bary Kaufman debunks this myth more thoroughly in his 2019 write-up here[1]. (Aside: Kaufman updates Maslow's "hierarchy" idea with a "sailboat" metaphor[2].)

Maslow always emphasized the relative satisfaction of needs. To quote from his famous paper[3]:

[quote]

... As for the concept of emergence of a new need after satisfaction of the prepotent [i.e. dominant] need, this emergence is not a sudden, saltatory phenomenon but rather a gradual emergence by slow degrees from nothingness. For instance, if prepotent need A is satisfied only 10 per cent then need B may not be visible at all. However, as this need A becomes satisfied 25 per cent, need B may emerge 5 per cent, as need A becomes satisfied 75 per cent need B may emerge 90 per cent, and so on.

[/quote]

If you want to understand Maslow, there's no escaping his two seminal books:

• Motivation and Personality, 1954

• Toward a Psychology of Being, 1962

He writes with superb clarity, and is an absolute joy to read. If you're really, really short on time, at least read his paper, A Theory of Human Motivation[3].

Yeah I think that's a good example of what I mean though. That'll be a couple tiny teams within a huge org, with a lot of people willing/desiring to transfer internally onto it. Those rarely if ever get filled from outside the org, and when they do they're looking for experts not competent part-time users.
Your grandkids may very well experience climate-related famine, but hopefully they'll find solace in their parents being a few cm taller than the lactose intolerant.

This is a little bit of a ridiculous way to approach nutrition. My point is that very few people actually need cow's milk to the extent that the dairy industry would lead you to believe. A few cm does not negate that. Compared to most of human history we live in a time of nutritional abundance.

Sure, he didn't propose that visualization, but the visualization effectively illustrates the categories he proposed and heirarchy he proposed then in.

The bigger issues are that:

(1) Maslow’s research explicitly was focussed on elites that he referred to as a “master race”,

(2) The universal heirarchy he proposed has not been substantiated by subsequent research without the express problematic focus Maslow started from,

(3) Research tends to show fewer, and more culturally variable, categories, with the heirarchies in which they fall also culturally variable.
My understanding is that the algorithm is something like:

func doTheyWin():
if timeSinceLastWin < 10:
winPercentage = 1
else if timeSinceLastWin < 100:
winPercentage = 25
else:
winPercentage = 99
return random(100) < winPercentage

That is an algorithm designed to meet people's expectations of the gambler's fallacy, basically.

Other comments say that slot machines in Las Vegas are prohibited from using this algorithm, but nothing is stopping, say, video games from doing this. (Hearthstone has a "pity timer" for giving you legendary cards in card packs, for example. It's random until it feels bad for you, or more likely the data shows that you won't buy any more card packs and they'll go out of business if they don't give you a legendary every 40 card packs or whatever.)
Nothing you can do about it.

It is very well maybe that part of it is not enforceable in your area anyways.

Nothing they can do about it.
`NSArray` is not `nil` terminated; the argument lists to some of its variadic initializers are, but the array itself simply does not contain `nil`.

The literal syntax `@[ ... ]` gets transformed into an initializer call, which throws an exception if it is passed a `nil` value. And I can't remember, but I would expect the compiler to at least warn, if not error, if you put a literal `nil` in there.
Comments are speaking to it like it wasn't even addressed. Do you need data to understand that moving a cell out of a shadow would increase its capacity?
In practice there is no risk of defined contribution plans getting wiped out unless the account holder does something exceptionally stupid. Most plans default to using target date mutual funds which automatically rebalance to reduce stock exposure every year. If there's a major stock market crash then older employees will have very little exposure and younger employees have plenty of time to financially recover.

I've been a FOSS user since 1993 and am totally willing to pay for software.

Here's the problem: any license that attempt to require businesses to pay for software or that restricts for-profit SaaSification tends to be rejected by the FOSS community. The AGPL is the closest we have and it doesn't really do that even it gets a lot of hate in FOSS circles.

Without such concerns being addressed in the license it's impossible to put any kind of direct simple business model behind open source software. This means that almost all businesses opt for a SaaS model where it's easy to charge or find other roundabout ways to "charge" such as harvesting user data.

TL;DR: the software market has structurally organized itself so as to almost rule out business models other than SaaS and surveillance.

Framing obesity as a choice is at least as useless as framing any other drug addiction as a choice.

I don't understand why the discourse on this topic so rarely focuses on its root cause: food addiction.

Is it just easier to think of fat and obese people as weak-willed rather than addicted?

Is the goal to shame them rather than help them?
