What it specifically fails to deliver is any indication of how "the internet" had any role at all in the work or in any progress made.

The only suggestion of progress was that somebody finally noticed the LB symbols were mostly about the same as LA symbols, so they now can now pronounce the LA texts. There is no hint why that only just happened.
I'm not learning it to get a job. I'm actually building a file manager/database for my wife's Cricut images. I found building desktop app/UI's was fun again. I hadn't built a desktop app in a long while, last one was Java Swing. After using it for a bit I figured it might be a nice niche tool set or skill to get good at to find a better place to work. It's a tough choice doing what you like (building an app) or learning algorithms - one is more enjoyable than the other.
> by design, that the electricity value expended on mining is proportional to the total market cap of Bitcoin.

You have to factor in the amortized cost of specialized hardware over it's lifetime, and a few other factors. But it's a good approximation.

BTC tried to solve this with diminishing rewards for mining. The problem is BTC's market cap doubled far faster than the rewards halved.

But I think you are wrong at the high end. If BTC was worth 100x tomorrow, the current miners cannot just push a button and draw 100x the power. I think governments would be far more likely to ban new rigs, but may let grandfathered rigs continue to operate. If that's the case, I can see miners becoming quite profitable.

I haven't tried benchmarking a cached reflection-driven field reference, now that I think about it... I'll give that a try, very good point.

If that performs the same as a normal field access (or the equivalent behind a non-inlined function or something), yeah, that'd be completely fine. My main thought was that you can very easily reference and use `type.Method` (you just have to pass an instance as an additional first argument), so a straightforward `type.Field` equivalent would be convenient in a number of places. E.g. you could avoid the need to add accessor methods, which isn't possible on types you don't control, and no need to create anonymous functions everywhere to work around that.

Depends on what you think "be able to handle it" means. There are many tradeoffs.

> there are place which offer free movements of people (e.g. the EU) where opening up the borders (or the flood gates if you will) has turned out to be a great success

The EU has a very strict immigration policy for people outside of the EU and it also has natural language barriers that bar foreigners from almost all jobs.

It's an interesting thought, but not a very interesting article. I guess I expected more.
Over 90% of the entire human population has cell phones, globally. Sure, some of them lack data or at least robust data, but the writing is firmly on the wall: people are getting online one way or another. Meanwhile, Facebook has nearly 3 billion active users on its own. It only started in 2004 and it wasn’t even available to the general public for years.

By some estimates, 4 billion people don’t even have postal addresses yet. This is substantial adoption in an exceedingly short period.

Many things can be said about exactly how and why this happened, but by and large Facebook became a utility for communicating with people who you otherwise would have trouble keeping up with due to geographical differences or other life changes.

That said, as it has become so ubiquitous, today many people use it to keep up with people they see every day. Hell, I’m more likely to get a Discord message from someone who is a room away rather than them walk over. The utility of the internet draws people in, but once you have it, it can become second nature. Many of us carry around internet communicators in our pockets 24/7. You may initially mostly have one so you can use Maps, or call someone if you need to, but if it has a data connection and a screen it can probably be used to post to Facebook or watch a YouTube video.

If it were deniable before, I’d argue COVID-19 lockdown only made it more evident just how online everyone was, and if they weren’t already, it certainly gave them a push to get there.

For economical and other reasons, I’m sure Internet and social media adoption will slow down and it will take a long time to permeate even more of life. However, many Americans probably already spend more time with social interactions online than IRL.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:

> From 2003 to 2017, the average amount of time Americans spent socializing per day dropped from about 46 minutes to 39 minutes.

Meanwhile, many reports have cited frankly alarming amounts of time spent on platforms like Facebook and phones in general, with one claiming that Americans on average spend 7 hours a week using Facebook, and a report[1] from Pew Research Center asserts that 31% of American adults claim to be online “almost constantly.”

Of course, this is U.S. centric to some degree, but the writing is on the wall. People still speak, read, watch TV, talk on the telephone, and communicate in every way they used to. Except they use Facebook more, and they use the “telephone” to do internet communication more than they use it to do voice calls over the traditional phone network. No matter how you look at it, the internet is eating up social interactions of all kinds. And if you don’t see it yet, you probably won’t have to wait long on this trajectory. For better and worse.

This might have been true 20 years ago, but the economic envelope has changed: solar and wind power are both consistently cheaper than fossil fuels. This holds true even in developing nations[1], which means that countries that are still building out their initial power generation and distribution systems stand to benefit from skipping a costly transition entirely (not to mention eliminating a geopolitical lever.)

Ehm.... "waste energy"? I'm not sure there is such a thing. If it can be harvested and used, why should it be used for Bitcoin instead of... well, anything else?

Sure you can. Just find one of the many forums or groups where such people hang out and post the graph. If you're correct, the cascade failure should be near instantaneous.
I googled our immigration backlog, and according to multiple sources[0], the current number of pending immigration applications is 10M. These are people who are willing to fill out the applications and wait. It's not unreasonable to assume that this is the tip of the iceberg, and that there there are many more people who don't bother to apply because of the processing times and likelihood of getting in. Suppose there are 5x more people who would instantly migrate if immigration was completely open. That's about 17% of the current US population.

That seems like a lot of people for local communities to absorb, especially if these are people that require a lot of financial assistance.

I tend to say this in Spanish as "Cosas que pasan", which can be translated as "Things that happen". It's similar to French expression "C'est la vie"

Edit: of course that I use it mostly when something bad happens, something that's maybe unlikely but possible. That's when I tell my peers «these are things that happen».
Like, after a robbery or something. Son cosas que pasan
Ouch! I understand that using a SuperCharger in the middle of the day is a very different use case than charging at home, but here in Georgia, the overnight charging rate is a penny per kwh. Lots of incentive to be sure to have a full charge before leaving for the day and make sure if you buy an EV that your common usage patterns don't require you to charge away from home often.
it's about the economics of mining _using an external source of capital_. the more significant interaction is not between the ASICs and the bitcoin rewards, but the companies and their investors. in that sense, it's more accurate to say it has "everything to do with public stock markets".

the author gives the oil analogy. the oil wells themselves have very similar economics to mining. it's the relationship between these similar operations and the investors which sets them apart more than the activity they're involved in.
Using Fly.io it was pretty easy to to spin up an app.. I wish it used Docker Up/Compose files though. I'm not a Docker expert but being able to use those files seems like it would be easier to deploy apps. Please correct my ignorance if this isn't so.
"Great success" is relative...

In my small EU country, this has created a caste of low-paying jobs that only immigrants do, and the hiring process usually goes along "put out an ad, offer minimum pay" - "noone local wants to do that job for minimum wage" - "complain you can't get workers" - "get work visas for foreigners".

This would/could be mitigated by raising the minimum wage for foreign workers (eg., you need a cleaning lady, the pay for a foreign worker must be atleast 1.5x the average pay currently working cleaning ladies get, so they'll try to get a local for atleast 1.499x the average pay first and then if really desparate hire a foreigner).

I’m surprised that you’re having trouble finding this, but assuming good faith here is the top result for [birth rate by income] on Google search for me[1]. I’m located in the USA so if you’re not perhaps this result don’t appear for you. As you can see birth rates are considerably higher among the poorest Americans. Further searching will confirm that the trend holds within and between other countries too.

> Um, no. That presumes there is somewhere cheaper to move, for one.

If you assume this isn't the case, then the original comment I was responding to would imply that bitcoin mining is raising the price of energy for the entire world. At 0.5% of global energy consumption, this seems pretty unrealistic. The overhead of moving is obviously not zero, but my point is mostly that bitcoin miners will in general tend to flow to where there is cheaper and less demand for electricity. This in general should cause less tension between where energy is needed. More modern regulated bitcoin miners will generally only exist where there are periods of excess power, eg from wind or solar. They will often sell to the grid operator the ability to interrupt their power when electricity becomes scarce. I completely agree that miners shouldn't be sucking up subsidized hydro power, but also that hydro power shouldn't be subsidized in the first place.
Oh, it's plenty intelligent enough.

Farming, construction, landscaping, etc all need undocumented labor over 'legal' labor, all around the country, but especially in farm country. Do you really believe that they honestly do not want migrant labor coming over the borders?

No payroll taxes/benefits, and undocumented workers are much easier to exploit. They are highly unlikely to go to the cops about anything criminal that happens on the job, or to OSHA about any workplace safety violations, or to the district attorney about wage theft, and so on. They fear getting deported or tossed in jail. They're also socially isolated by various barriers - language, racial prejudice, and so on...so word of shady stuff going on is a lot less likely to make its way out. Don't want anyone to find out about your toxic waste dumping? Have your migrant workers do it.

Also, migrant workers will do a lot of shit jobs that a lot of Americans just don't want to do, or at least not at fair market value labor rates that the business would be "sustainable" at.

Meanwhile, politicians shout about how that migrant worker is stealing your job and so on. So they get the $$$ from the people who want exploitable labor, and the votes from the Pickup Truck Petes who think those "illegals" are "stealin' our jobs" and so on.

It's not far off from why education is so poorly funded and constantly under various attacks in the US. There's a lot of wealthy people who want easily manipulated, uneducated, trapped-in-poverty workers to exploit. This is also why abortion is under constant attack; access to family planning is a huge factor to people escaping poverty.

Absolutely. If we can read their script, and they wrote a history, we can read that history. Without, we are reduced to relying on archaeology.

We can read historical texts from Egypt and Mesopotamia from the time the Minoans , er, "flourished". In exactly that sense they are not prehistoric. I think Egyptians mentioned them. (It seems odd if Egyptians did not mention Santorini blowing up and wiping them out, but maybe they did. Somebody must have mentioned "Thera".)
Do you know of any specific problems with CentOS Stream? It seems like it just moves slightly faster than RHEL but ends up in the same place except for the tiny chance of an issue that isn't caught in pre-release testing. It sounds much more stable than Fedora, maybe as stable as Ubuntu LTS.

OP, you can also get RHEL for free as an individual if you're just planning to use it on a handful of systems and you're willing to make a Red Hat account and log into those systems with that account. You would have to use an account for a paid version of RHEL anyway.

One thing that will be interesting is what happens when they do start selling hoarded bitcoin (and unless a new source of capital appears, they will need to). RIOT already quietly sold $9M of cryptocurrencies in Q1 of this year. Given the mining hardware they have already ordered, I suspect they’ll be doing more of that into an already distressed market.

Armor fati.

In our age of digital Devices and social media, we are used to having instant access to information and news. This can be a good thing, but it can also lead to information overload and anxiety. The constant stream of alerts and notifications can make it difficult to focus, and we can become bombarded with so much information that it becomes difficult to process it all.

The Latin phrase "armor fati" means "to armor oneself against fate." In other words, it means to be prepared for the worst. This is a good mindset to have in our fast-paced, constantly-connected world. We should take the time to step back and assess the situation, rather than blindly following the latest news cycle.

Of course, this is not to say that we should live in fear or ignore the news altogether. But we should be mindful of how much information we consume, and make sure that we are taking the time to process it all. Otherwise, we may find ourselves overwhelmed and bogged down by the constant deluge of information.
You are welcome.

For myself, it was immediate. There seems to be a certain kind of intuitive understanding that becomes obvious after the first doses of a medication.

It is quite hard to explain, but it seems like the brain knows exactly what it needs. Unless you have uncontrollable addictive tendencies, you will automatically gravitate towards the dosage necessary to restore chemical balance. You will redose when it is needed, and you will notice quickly if a medication is not the right choice for you.

I was and still am very happy with the initial methylphenidate IR and Concerta (same compound but XR). I have tried different options over time, but they did not work as well or had side effects that I was not comfortable with. For example, I noticed that contrary to MPH, Adderall is destabilizing to my emotional state and thus was definitely not suitable for productivity, and the crash mainly consists of horrible mood swings and apathy, which is not the case for me on methylphenidate. On Vyvanse this was better, but the effects themselves still somewhat comparable to those of Adderall. I have not tried Strattera yet, but I do not really see a reason to these days.

On this note, I've talked with a lot of those affected by now, and choice and benefit of medications appears highly subjective. It seems like there is no way of knowing without trying it out.

I’d be happy with a “refill if under $10 up to $x/month”. If they can cut off when you’re out of credit they can presumably do it for other criteria, too.
But this feels like something that can be handled with instantaneous state changes. I feel like pretty much any GUI implementation could handle it. I assumed the kind of animation support referred to was timed animations, which need multiple frames to complete.
But that’s just one narrative framing. Would you be okay if remote people got promotions more often because they didn’t waste two hours a day commuting, got more done, and met with their managers in more casual settings like pubs and restaurants and so had more time to shoot the shit?

“Not going into the office” != “never seeing coworkers face to face.” Being remote has forced our team to be more proactive about seeing one another and so we’ve ended up socializing more than we ever did at the office. It’s easy to fall into the trap of not doing anything other than working chat and water cooler conversations and never actually socializing because “we see each other every day.”

There is no flood of immigrants waiting for the gates to open. American net migration is trending down. Soon there will be more people leaving than coming.

Besides, leaving your country is hard and a large majority of people aren’t actually that interested. Especially not for a place like USA when other, nicer, places have strong economies too.
