The fundamental problem here is that when we chose to shut down society, most of the capacity that went unused is gone and cannot be brought forward into 2022 to fill in the gaps left behind. So for example, all of the teaching time that was wasted on ineffective distance learning or just didn't happen is gone. Want to organise a bunch of catch up sessions? You'll have to find a bunch of extra teaching time from somewhere (and likely a bunch of extra teachers) on top of normal teaching along with extra time in those kids' days - easy enough to do small scale for a wealthy few, much harder for all of society.

The same has happened everywhere, from factory production to restaurant meals and hotel stays, which limits our ability to pay teachers to do this - in order to pay them more in real terms they have to be able to buy more, but the amount of stuff available to buy isn't even enough to support people's existing quality of life. Any attempt to pay teachers generous overtime to teach extra would have to come out of other peoples' real-terms income in a world where that is already dropping for most, and the bigger the program the more painful and broadly felt that would be.
Safety and Performance – Threadsafe Datastructures in C++
I'm not learned enough to answer question 1... but I don't think the fiat system is fully resistant against catastrophic black swan events either.

As for question 2 - it depends on which blockchain and which use case. Blockchain does not need to replace Visa in it's entirety in order to add value.

This answers your question. There is none of this "print notes and burn them" nonsense; notes are only burned when retired from physical circulation due to age or damage. In a modern economy money is created by pure acts of accounting.

You would also be well served to read up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_exchange . Too many people get obsessed with the "M" and "P" terms, representing money supply and price level (inflation), while ignoring the other two.

"Real" money requires trust to work as well. That was the process by which Brazil got inflation under control by abolishing the currency and replacing it with a new one; nothing structural had changed, but the statement of intent and re-establishment of trust that the new currency was going to be stable against the dollar was important. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidade_real_de_valor ; the resulting currency is literally called the "Real".

There are also furniture pieces that are made to connect to each other. Some are obvious like peg boards, but things like sectional couches, too.

Then there are the myriad array of cabinet doors. And folks like heavy built-in cabinets, but Ikea ones are just fine. They typically have better hardware. But nobody wants to be the equivalent of an installer in software, it seems.

Since you said beds, consider getting the wrong size bed for a room. Or mismatched head and foot boards.
Unfortunately, setting these up requires you to have a spare server at home.
"Virtual" phone numbers won't work for signups with many security conscious service providers like banks.

Personally, I use a spare/old phone with this instead:

This is frameworks vs libraries. In the first case the framework is calling the code with config and hooks to change behaviour. In the second case there are common library functions called from completely separate “application” code.

> In the districts that stayed remote for most of last year, the outcome was as if Black and Hispanic students had lost four to five more weeks of instruction than white students had.

Is this referring to differences b/w students in the same schools, but of different ethnicity? I don't really understand the racial implications this article is making.

I think home schooling and large-class remote schooling are quite a bit different. We home schooled our kids for the 2020 / 2021 school year, while most other kids spent the majority of the year in remote learning. Our kids are doing great academically, while there's definitely some struggles among some of the other kids.

This is another factor increasing inequality, by the way - we were exceptionally privileged to be able to have work schedules able to handle this, and a nanny who could watch our kids while we worked. Most parents wouldn't be able to do that.
It might have to do with the media enviroment we're exposed to; I'm from Norway, and I feel like the impact on children has been on the forefront of everyone's mind all the time, in domestic news, in domestic policy, and in my impression of international news. But the view from within the US might be completely different.

One problem I've seemed to notice in the US is that you have the "somewhat reasonable" side and the "batshit insane" side of every discussion, and the "somewhat reasonable" side over-corrects. A clear example of that is the mask discussion; you have the "batshit insane" side which claimed that masks literally deprived you of oxygen, and then the "somewhat reasonable" side would over-correct and downplay any negative sides to having to wear a mask. Whereas outside of the US, I feel like there was a much more reasonable conversation about how masks suck and are really annoying to wear, especially when you're exerting yourself physically or wear glasses, but are overall a good thing.

So it wouldn't surprise me if you had the same effect regarding schools, where the "batshit insane" side wants no response at all and doesn't even think COVID exists/thinks it's manufactured by the illuminati to control citizens/is no worse than a flu/whatever, and the "somewhat reasonable" side overcorrects by downplaying any negative sides to a COVID response.
That's quite extreme; maybe start to pay more attention as your home country deteriorates to (or if it starts off at) that sort of level?
I'm currently working on a way to extend the code by revealing the underlying [Choo](https://choo.io) framework to enable easier hacking! Search is one feature that theoretically won't be too hard to add, but I excluded it from the core because it would have made it too big.

Note: I have no solid reference point for what "too big" actually means for this project—my only guideline so far has been "as small as possible"
News is only news because it focuses on long tail statistical anomalies. The more news you consume, the more decoupled you become from what is happening in the ‘average’ reality.

The solution is to look towards national or local statistics and trends, or read Wikipedia articles months after an event.
None of them have critical mass because none of them are scalable.

So no, actually, they don't have very much going on at all.

It's trivial to solve one single aspect of the much larger problem by deciding to punt on solving other extremely crucial aspects, like scalability, or decentralization.
I'm not the author. This is a new project and these versions are there so that the core could be minimum at the same time have versions with more features. As the project grows, I'm sure there will be only one variant or options for features could be specified during build time. For now, see it as pre alpha and the variants as a form of A/B testing to strike a balance between minimum size, essential features and good to have features. Bit tricky to balance. Invite you to hack and help balance - need more people there.

> What you're advocating for is being poor.

I don't see it. Saying "consume less/differently" is not the same as saying "be poor".

> There's only so much that a person can do to reduce emissions. And this is the big lie that big corps PR sold you: that you as individual is main person responsible.

> According to this article from The Guardian, 100 companies are responsible for 71% of emissions: https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10...

> Literally nothing you or I can do in our entire lifetime will have as big an impact as fixing just one of those companies.

It seem that you read nothing past the title of that article. Those are fossil fuel companies. The study contains data on GHGs that come from direct operational emissions and emissions from the use of sold products. That means that if you use a car the emissions that are produced by that usage are counted towards the emissions of one of those companies that extracted/refined your fuel.

People tend to say this when the founders leave but things almost always changes anyway.
I feel like the materials are whatever is found on site.

That may mean that a machine may need to be able to sort, smelt, sinter, form, ram, engrave, or otherwise process whatever it found on-site.

That's definitely non-trivial, but in the sense of making a CPU with millions of transistors, and not in the sense of Mt. Rushmore. The R&D costs will be astronomical, but there isn't much there which is /fundamentally/ expensive, at least so long as you're not going to deep.

I can describe a number of beachheads and early markets -- places where you don't need all of that at one, or ultralow costs. I think the Boring Company has a decent one.
For me the main showstopper was a system requirements doc. Last time i tried instalation failed in a VM with max number of inodes reached. I do not want to try ZFS. I want to do a quick try to see if it plays well. Can anyone recommend the minimum disk size to install the port collection and to compile for example an LXDE or KDE ?
I've skied in Austria for the past 15 years and never wore a helmet for the first 8 years. I now have my own helmet. And I made sure it even has MIPS.

You can be as cautious as you want and never make a mistake, but if someone else skies into you you could still smash your head very hard. That's why you should wear a helmet. Not because of your own capabilities, but because of the capabilities of the people around you and the risk just being too high.

I wouldn't wear a helmet while cycling though. It's quite safe in The Netherlands.
I would pay $100 for a book documenting how Microsoft ran the trade press in the 90's and 00's. You can't tell me that they didn't throw gobs of money at outfits like Ziff-Davis and IDG after what has been revealed in their underhanded funding of SCO v IBM.
Personally, I wouldn't want to do that. If I register a domain, I should be able to point it anywhere you want.

Plus, you'll need cooperation from all the registrars out there that are selling domains in your .nonpublic TLD. Unless you're the only one.
And what good is the ledger if the vast majority of users interacting with it do so through very centralized, very old fashioned platforms controlled by a single entity?
I think a problem with web3 is that the only mechanism it really has is "monetary transfers", and that's just not an appropriate primitive to build most things out of, as much as its proponents would like it to be.
There are so many examples. Some of the most popular web3 applications have only gained more momentum over the last few years, and have growing user bases. Examples are: Uniswap, Compound Finance, Maker DAO, Aave, Curve Finance, Tornado Cash (which is incredibly useful for preserving privacy), and more. They actually provide a service people care about and use. I agree they are still at a small scale compared to traditional web applications, but I personally know people in developing countries that rely on stablecoins to survive, such as DAI, use Aave to take out loans, and Tornado to preserve their privacy from tyrannical governments.

What a beautifully ironic comment.
Joshua Montgomery founded Mycroft AI, but Michael Lewis has been running the company for 2 years as CEO. Joshua recently "resigned", though his day to day involvement has been minimal.
I’m glad those incendiary articles are kept off of the main page, because they are available everywhere else on the Internet.

Allowing them here would likely have a negative snowball effect.
I was co-owner of an Apple dealership in Wellington, New Zealand. We used and sold Savvy, which was touted as a "natural language processor" - seemed to be a database with a natural language query system that was dumb as could be to begin with but rapidly gained in intelligence the more it was used. After the Mac was released the spotlight went off Savvy and a lot of my old customers told me their product was purchased back (recalled?) by Excaliber. There are references here that it may have ended up at Sandia Labs. Did it become a national security item? Does that happen?
It depends on the era but it wasn't uncommon for nobles to be six inches taller than their vassals.

The serfs would raise the pigs and the nobles would get to eat them more than a few times a year.

We saw in the 20th century what adequate protein can do for a population, many times. Nobles were often genetically distinct from the people they ruled as well, conquest being what it was, but that part isn't necessary, the surplus of protein is sufficient to explain it.
My guess would be yes. The implication seems that pushing the school burden home is hardest on the homes that are already heavily burdened, and that that is more true of minority families?
The benefit of the lockdowns was very, very small for the kids.
That's how most taxes work.
That's for sure the question is to try to sell what when it's about an IDE. Assuming the UX is successful enough, a full cycle of functionality for developing needs to be there for keeping great developers engaged and positive about it. So what parts or extras to sell? In the business sense, starts to feel like a making a free platform in which you try to sell apps. In that sense is like rist raised to the power of 2.
> You really should understand how the different news outlets function, what their business models and sources of funding are, and their biases.

While I agree, I don’t think we can expect everyone to do this research themselves, and we can’t always trust others opinions on the matter either.
Automating REST Guidelines
We Must Resist Geoeconomic Fragmentation–and How
I've lived decently well for 15+ years under the assumption that "if it's important, it'll find its way to me." Haven't watched/read the news in that time span and don't think I've lost out on much because of it.
In my experience it depends on how you open the tweet. When I click Twitter links online, scrolling works. The moment I switch tweet, scrolling becomes restricted again. Trying to scroll through someone’s profile is also very restricted, I can only scroll past maybe 3-5 tweets? I’ve now clarified in my OP that this happens in most cases, but not always.

Yes, it’s PC in my case. On mobile it allows me to scroll through someone’s profile but scrolling through replies to a tweet seems to be limited (a huge “please sign in” overlay is displayed eventually which I cannot close).
This is highly presumptive. My experience as a human has shown me exactly the opposite. Humans are highly hierarchical.
Davos became a target for conspiracy theorists and anarchists
I'd normally agree, but Joshua (the founder) has been minimally involved for years outside of the patent lawsuits. With that mostly resolved (in Mycroft's favor), he's moving on to the next thing.
A Tax-Based Alternative to Lockdowns
Yes, I have private repositories on GitHub with my SaaS products, and I add close friends as read-only contributors (usually to exchange ideas or show something I have done in the project).

These friends are also coders tho. They don't have interests (neither do I at the moment) into became part of the business. I told them openly in case I died, they could open-source the project or take over the project. Passwords I keep with my wife / direct relatives so they can contact them to just take control of the project.

However, open-sourcing would probably be enough for some of my customers to run the system by themselves. With the code and getting the access by contacting my relatives, these friends can potentially take the project and continue supporting my current customers.
How is the problem you're imagining solved by having just a single company in charge of the app?
>Those are anti-safety philosophical grounds,

Not really, because this argument implies that a human being is in danger if not vaccinated. Which is not really the case, because there is a thing called "Natural Immunity", which fights off thousands of pathogens every day.

A vaccine is like wearing a bullet proof pendant on top of a kevlar vest. It can save your life if you are hit by a bullet exactly on the pendant, AND your vest happen to have a weak spot exactly behind the pendant.
Somewhat, but not as much as in the past where king was the highest ranking general, and went to battle. These days king probably has seen military service and had officer experience, but probably didn't raise that high. Probably for the better, just because your great-....-grandfather was a great general doesn't mean you will be.

> Before Reddit and web forums there was Usenet.

Also, what killed Usenet was mainly the byzantine process of creating newsgroups (i.e., artificial barriers to entry), and how those who found themselves in charge of popular newsgroups tendes to be heavy-handed in how they viewed the role of censorship as beneficial (i.e., more artificial barriers to entry).

Now comes web3 and the only technical benefit that's being pushed is it's ability to impose artificial barriers to entry at a deeper architectural level.
No, people really did pretend that. Here's one example that I remember: https://twitter.com/AmerAcadPeds/status/1425857041457942542

Obviously paediatrics is not the same as schooling, but I recall this sort of attitude being prevalent.
I agree with your description of the situation, but that is actually a good thing (for the internet). [1]

The reason everyone is doing speculative bullshit in Web3 is exactly why it isn't a threat to the internet. There is nothing useful that it has created. There is no reason for anyone who isn't trying to fleece bigger fools to buy into it. There is nothing that ecosystem does that's at all better than what we have today.

Web3 isn't going to replace the internet - all it has replaced is the penny stock scam.

[1] it's a bad thing for the participants in these schemes.
That is almost certainly the union's doing. Unions help push back against the downward pressure on wages from employers (who are passing on the downard pressure from investors and the public).
Probably not much, is my gut. Catching up on relevant academic items is easier than we typically acknowledge. Is why those kids that were reading at an early age are typically not that ahead in a few years.

Not that this should be dismissed. But I hazard it is not a panic item.
Kagi has good results.
Hey Alamantus, if you need it, I can note down all suggestions here and create issues in a few hours.
I don't see a real need to campaign against web3 being the unusable dumpsterfire it already is. There is no practical broader usecase actually being adopted by masses. Just a medially inflated niche of people speculating in shit. I think itll Show itself Out producing a few people that cashed out well
This is a really surprising comment to me. I also do many wire transfers and EFTs (used to run an investment company, so on the order of 200 incoming/outgoing EFTs and 4-5 wires per month) and have no idea what you are talking about. The only times I've had issues is either (1) when the banking information was entered incorrectly, either by a client or by my staff; (2) if it's a weird kind of trust account that doesn't accept direct wires and needs to go through an intermediary account, which is really rare.

I would really like to know what activity you are doing that is causing you so many payment processing issues.

Unless you are talking about LVTS which AFAIK is only used for inter-bank transfers? I have no experience with that system.
Well, for example the Alibaba T-Head Xuantie C910 has 128 bit vector registers but a 256 bit vector ALU, so both LMUL=1 and LMUL=2 instructions execute in a single clock cycle. LMUL=8 instructions take 4 cycles to execute, but that's a 1024 bit vector right there.

Also, the person who said graphics uses 3 or 4 element vectors so you only need short vector registers didn't understand how a vector processor such as RISC-V will be programmed for that take. Usually you have thousands of XYZ or XYZW points that you want to transfor my the same matrix or normalize or whatever. You don't load one point into one vector register. You load all the X coordinates from 4 or 8 or 64 or 256 points into one vector register, all the Y coordinates into another vector register, all the Z coordinates into another one. And you put the 9 or 12 elements of the matrices you want to transform them by into other vector registers (or scalar registers if you're transforming everything by the same matrix) and you transform a whole bunch of points in parallel.

For somebody with such an unhealthy obsession with consensus based trust, you're certainly disturbed by the consensus on Hacker News that cryptocurrencies are a scam, and the widespread and uniform distrust of people who shill them.

What's so bad about consensus and trust, again?

Is the only kind of consensus you trust the kind of consensus that's arrived at by burning tons of coal?
I'm not taking a side on the fiat vs. crypto debate. I'm inquiring purely about the technical aspects of the blockchain.

That being said, with non-blockchain data storage, one could create backups, so that if all the live running data stores were somehow destroyed, one could recover to some previous point in history with the redundant copies.

I'm trying to understand whether this, or any other sort of failure recovery, is possible with blockchain technology.
