Any computer can't have any IP, but the routing rules have nothing to do with physical location. Routers advertise to their neighbors the IP block(s) that they serve.

As a super high level example, your ISP's core router would advertise to other ISP's routers that it serves 10.123.x.x IPs, so any IP address in that block gets sent to that router. Then within your ISP, the router in your area would advertise that it serves 10.123.45.x, so it receives packets for IPs in that more specific block from the core router. So your IP would have to be within the 10.123.45.x block, because that's what the router serving you is assigned.

I attended a talk by Richard Garfield, the game designer behind Magic: The Gathering. He made a point that adding randomness to a game can be a way to give it that property of "easy to learn, hard to master", and in turn make it easier for a community to grow around the game. When you add randomness, it becomes possible for novices to sometimes beat more experienced players through sheer luck. Contrast that with e.g. chess, where it doesn't take much skill difference before the most skilled player is almost certain to win. So randomness makes it easier for newcomers to get the occasional win, to keep them motivated while learning. But at the same time, randomness can make it harder to master, because the cause-effect-relationship between good decisions and good outcomes becomes blurred, like the article points out, defeating the trivial "reward function" we usually use for evaluating our performance. It takes a lot of discipline to say "I won, but it was luck, because I actually misplayed" and learn from that. And on top of that, high level play will become a game of analyzing and estimating probabilities, minimizing or maximizing variability depending on the strength of your position, basically embracing randomness as a gameplay element to be understood and sometimes even manipulated, despite being so intangible compared to most other gameplay elements. So used the right way, adding randomness to a game can both lower the barrier of entry, and raise the skill ceiling at the same time.

I think it goes deeper than that. Even here in the UK with its heavily centralized PoPs it's possible for geolocation tools to narrow a consumer down to a specific town (my cable connection tends to get geolocated to a big town 20 miles from me though) so I assume databases of locations of PoPs are maintained somewhere too.
I also like the discourse on bankrolls and bets sizing. I think being able to correctly size your bets is such a great, albeit challenging skill to have in the real world.

The problem is generally those that believe debt is an investment. It's like believing professional gambler is a long term profession. People don't get rich taking out debt, banks do. You can beat the house once in a while, but you aren't winning over a lifetime of buying things with debt. 2-3 targeted purchases, you can win, a lifetime of car payments and you lost a ton.
I am pragmatic, not a purist. Having more people (refugees, starving artists etc.) receiving money from benefactors is better than less.

That means spreading the wealth redistribution as thinly as possible: one person one account (it is also good for voting).

We can approach such a system by kicking out the artists who already got 100 donors, and forcing them “off the market” the same way someone should leave a dating site when they paired off.

The problem is that various actors have incentives create fake accounts. It isn’t even so much about UBI for people being unsustainable, but that people can create fake accounts (sybil attacks). There HAS to be a gatekeeping mechanism. There has to be a condition, the U can’t stand for Unconditional. It can stand for Universal (to all members of a community).

The hard part is ensuring there is no serious corruption in the mechanisms that whitelist accounts. WorldCoin scans eyeballs and Proof of Humanity does network analysis and tokenomics. I think that there should be a self-regulating organization (SRO like FINRA is for example) of KYC providers that stake a surety bond proportional to how many accounts they whitelist, and if some duplicates or fake accounts can be proven, in some sort of due process, they lose that stake. So they have some enforcement.

But still it may not be enough, for example for a national election there are strong incentives to register fake voters, and if the whole thing is done without appearing in person then that’s even easier to do. So then you need really harsh penalties for corrupt bureaucrats and ways to revoke certifications. But by that time some amount of UBI / welfare / disability benefits will have been paid out, or an election to install a director or head fo state has already taken place.

Far better not to concentrate the wealth and power to begin with, because then there would be less incentive to cheat and rally and grab the spoils of “war” whether that is marauders raiding a village, or a political party taking over an election, or Jeff Bezos now picking winners and losers in his investments / philanthropy

Basically, it is not that UBI is unsustainable, but that free (or subsidized, by exceeding the value whatever contribution the recipient makes to the system) money requires some increasingly harsh mechanisms to vet people.

At the end of the day though, we need such systems as there is a growing proportion of people whose labor just simply isn’t valuable enough to exceed their cost of living. And asking them to forego the modern conveniences of life, like safe potable running water and at least 500 square feet of space to live in, safe neighborhoods, access to lifesaving emergency medicine etc. is silly. If we subdidizs them anyway, why not standardize the system and remove corruption?

I've slowly come to the conclusion that it's a form of opinion-shaping. A huge number of people aren't particularly interested in what's true, they're interested in what's _popular_.

For argument's sake let's assume it's 80/20, with 10% on each side of a topic very passionate for their side. By banning and/or rate-limiting the 10% you dislike in any issue you can sway the 80% to follow the other side thus "manufacturing" the consensus.

The patient data is from UK Biobank, which has quite a bit about each participant. While they can't control for everything (like factors that aren't documented), they can control for a lot - probably including whatever possible confounder someone jumps to.

Although it's still subject to the limitations of an observational study, 171,616 people is a big cohort, mortality is clearly measurable, and the observed effect is really large. It's worth paying attention to.

You can enable a feature called cargodist. This adds the functionality, where passengers have a destination in mind.

Maybe I was not clear enough on this: I'm not claiming my book was censored, at least not in the traditional political sense of the word.

What I'm saying is that the way the book got blocked, is a harbinger of what future physical book censorship could look like. Once the techniques developed for social media moderation make their way into physical book publishing. Amazon happens to be ahead of the curve there, whereas other printer companies are probably still a bit old fashioned (which is good news).

If you're familiar with the 'packets' of sugar people sometimes sweeten coffee or tea with, 85 grams is like 20 packets. The 'sweetened cup of coffee' referenced in the study referred to a coffee with about 5 grams of sugar added.

> This study seems to be less about the benefits of coffee but rather the health risks of sugar.

The control was not drinking coffee, and far lower all-cause mortality was observed in both black coffee and coffee with a tiny bit of sugar.

Or: Yes, adding a ton of sugar to anything is unhealthy, but this study provides far more information than that. Although it's observational, the observed effect is huge. From the study:

"Compared with nonconsumers, consumers of various amounts of unsweetened coffee (>0 to 1.5, >1.5 to 2.5, >2.5 to 3.5, >3.5 to 4.5, and >4.5 drinks/d) had lower risks for all-cause mortality after adjustment for lifestyle, sociodemographic, and clinical factors," [then repeats for lightly sugar-sweetened coffee, but not artificially-sweetened coffee].

You can draw the supply and demand curves to see what happens when you add the tax. The supply curve is a straight vertical line since land is in fixed supply. When you tax someone $2000 for land, their demand for the same land falls by $2000. So if you charge the tenant the tax, prices will fall by $2000 making the landlords absorb the cost. If you charge the landlord the tax both the supply and demand curves are unchanged and the tenants pay the same.

Taxes on most things change prices by adjusting both supply and demand, it’s the adjustment to supply that can pass on part or most of the tax to the customer. If supply doesn’t adjust you can’t do that.

You keep saying it's trivial to extend it to do X and to do Y, and yet it's even more trivial with cmake - it already does it. At a certain point you've just poorly reimplemented something else

I've never had to add support for a brand new c++ compiler to cmake personally, so I'll have to trust that yes it's easier to modify your she'll svript to support that, but given that 99% of my build systems work is generating IDE files and building with MSVC, GCC and clang (even across servers, mobile devices and consoles), ill continue to recommend the system that works for that rather than a hypothetical new c++ compiler that will likely require more time spent on conforming the code than modifying a cmake file.
I read comments like yours with interest because I used to be a hiring manager at a big aerospace company where I ran a department doing some cool stuff - signal processing, novel computer architectures, VLSI and WSI chips. We always recruited at top schools and got a few engineers from MIT. They were brilliant, but good grief they were lousy engineers. One guy was obviously a genius and generated great ideas constantly but he could never get anything done. Week after week he was always two weeks from finishing his next milestone...and never did. Another guy told me that, as his boss, my job was to make sure he was happy to come to work every day. I told him we would both be better off if he did a good enough job to make me happy every day. And another said he didn't think there was any work worth his attention at the company, yet he was still there scraping by year after year. Small data set, but I was discouraged from recruiting there after going 0 for 3. I wish I had hired someone like you knew.
The point is that if you add up ALL the swimming pools in California, it totals ~0 water. Not even a rounding error. Farmers measure water use in MILLIONS of ACRE FEET. There is even an acronym for it: MAF.
