>What BFT mechanism do you propose to secure consensus of this "easy to build" tamper-proof ledger for a widely distributed network of untrusted nodes?

Out of what you said, PoA is the only one that has any chance at being fair over a long period of time because it's a lot easier to eject bad actors from the network. If you use PoA there's not much point to using a blockchain, but this is good actually; it gives you the freedom to choose between any number of more efficient datastructures. PoS is mostly just a loose approximation of another form of PoA (whomever stakes the most is the authority) and it's wholly unnecessary if you get rid of the speculative tokens; PoW (and some PoS algorithms too) are quite literally based around consensus-by-lottery, in my view that's another reason why it will never be useful for anything beyond gambling on speculative tokens. I've seen a lot of variations on the algorithms but none of them can get away from that basic problem without morphing back into another form of PoA.

"you can cheaply throw more CPU power at the problem, or just wait and then you're done"

How am I going to "throw more CPU power at the problem" when I'm using a scanner hooked up to my laptop? Should I buy myself a new, more powerful laptop? That doesn't sound cheap.

As for "just" waiting... my time is valuable, and I have better things to do with it than wait... and, unfortunately, the process of scanning and encoding needs a lot of babysitting from me, so I can't just dump a bunch of photos in my scanner and come back when it's all over if I want even half-decent results, not to mention archival quality images.

In this real-world scenario, a quicker encoding speed would save me a lot of valuable time, and there's no getting around it short of hiring a skilled and trusted person to do it for me.
Same reason noise pollution doesn't either, I reckon.
This seems unlikely to me. For example, the threading model (non-forking) and file system semantics (locking, permissions, etc.) are wildly different. You’d need a complex compatibility layer and effectively two classes of applications (legacy and linux-y).

I stand corrected about JSX attribute renaming! However I still see it being applied in practice for 99% of JSX use cases.

The problem with "only expressions in brackets" is that then you can write code in the template, but it's massively different to regular code. Worst of both worlds: code in templates and weird subset of code.

They are, for now. Keep in mind those record profits are tallied in an increasingly devalued currency. So there is certainly a greed component, but it’s not the only factor.

The pain of the lower classes in society trickles up to higher classes as they constrict their spending, default on loans, etc.

In demand and highly compensated engineers may find themselves jobless and struggling if the economic pain carries on for too long.
Same can be said for most organizations. Google's privileged hyper-enlightened culture of organizational "niceness" rests on the bedrock of millions of man-hours of near perfect, rigorously vetted engineering.

I think the main cause of this is that humans tend to become very wrong and misguided without accurate feedback. An engineer who is wrong is proven wrong immediately; their code fails, doesn't pass tests, breaks, etc. A people-person design-minded product-guru takes years to be proven wrong, and even then their tactical obfuscation of reality can morph who ends up being blamed.
> The original intention of patent system was to encourage open publication of inventions.

That is how it was sold to the public. Unfortunately the system was never designed with the proper structure and incentives to ensure that patents were only granted when doing so actually resulted in the publication of accurate details about useful inventions which would not have become known to the public anyway well before the patent period expired.

In practice, if you think you can keep something a trade secret for more than 20 years without it being independently reinvented you'll do that and not file for a patent. Patents are thus useful only in those cases where a patent is expected to be worse for the public than a trade secret, as they inhibit independent reinvention and reverse engineering for the duration of the patent.
There has also been concern that a land-based link would hamper the containment of foot-and-mouth disease that was eradicated from North America, and there are environmental concerns. Colombia proposed building a road through the whole gap:

But this has been heavily protested by environmentalists and natives alike. It might be less controversial to go northeast to Acandí by tunneling under the mountains, which would leave almost all of the forest untouched. Then you could build a long bridge, a coastal highway, or just keep using the ferry.

Agreed. The situation you describe is one where constraints do not exist, which is cultural. You assume input, say 40 hours (input is not productivity) and keep piling on work, responsibilities and unrealistic deadlines where workers feel forced to put in as much as 60 hours. Which is again input, not output.

Where I work, we work output-based. We work in sprints where the amount of work that can be done in a sprint is fixed, expressed as velocity. This capacity is a hard constraint and immutable (unless you hire additional people).

The business is free to spent that velocity as they please, but they have no say over velocity itself. They also have no say over input (hours) or estimates (they're not qualified to do so).

These hard constraints are a thing of beauty, it forces serious prioritization. Call me old and cynical, but in my 25 years in IT, I'd say at least 80% of what gets build is bullshit. Untested brain farts from higher-ups that have no tangible benefit to any customer or user. Hence I fail to be impressed by almost any "priority" or "deadline", exceptions aside.
> At some point you will need a pack of fierce sysadmins, not the lone wolf, as dangerous he might be.

Maybe, but also maybe not. And then that still doesn't mean I want them to focus on running git/gitlab. I mean we're doing stuff that revolves around the rust compiler and we have operations people easily capable of running gitlab around, but their primary task is something else - they're building systems on top of that. Do I want to re-task - or even just side-track them - into running gitlab?

Once you reach a certain size, you can have an internal ops team that's responsible for providing internal infrastructure, but to what extend is that really different from giving github/gitlab money? They'll be about as far removed from the individual teams they're serving as github is. Is that really something I want to put organizational effort into, distracting the org from achieving the goal? It's all tradeoffs.
> Knowing that there is a quantum foam is knowledge that brings us nowhere.

A bit myopic, eh?

We don't know which scientific advancements will result in practical applications or how long it will take.

But history is incredibly clear on this point. In general, scientific pursuits and the technological advancements required to carry them out bring about countless incredible practical applications over time.

In the long run, curiosity and interestingness are very good heuristics for worthwhile endeavors to pursue.
But what about reverse engineering?
To some extent there's a more direct comparison: a pregnant woman gains somewhere around 10--20 % bodyweight. This cannot be set down and it applies pressure to internal organs.

I can't imagine making it 50 %!
Isn't that the economic theory of broken windows? Given the choice between alternatives, added value should be considered, not added cost.
I'd like to think, though, that today's economic connections are less replaceable than wooden stocks or steel tubes. Try replacing modern electronics with local resources when you're Russia, for example.
For a supposed economist of national repute, juxtaposing TSMC with Taiwan is facepalm meme worthy. China's interest in Taiwan predates TSMC & mobile chips. 'Semiconductor wars' are just the pretex of doing something military and stupid. Surely she is not serious. In my observation, overzealous nationalism has occasionally paved way for intermittent insanity

The good (or the bad, depends) news is that China will be shooting itself in the foot. And onto the foot of every manufacturing country ready to answer back loudly either as sanctions or trade blockades. (Assuming US doesn't do anything except looking away). Any invasion will certainly create enough chaos to halt the factories at the least - and utter destruction in the usual scheme. Besides they don't gain any trade secrets - those lie with ASML, sitting comfortably in NL. Net gain is negative for China. Factory inoperable? Check. Unnecessary war? check. Economic sanctions & international pariah? check. CCP politburo members sure see this forecast in their calculus.

Semiconductor production is moving closer to being reality in US, for all the obvious geopolitics & supply chain. Invasions or plans thereof will have no bearing on their deployment, rather pace it faster.

Which of them can make a 2010-level ARM chip?
I hear you, but my actual experience is that car danger is avoidable. I can, if necessary, stand at a crosswalk and wait as long as necessary for the road to clear, or walk behind an idling car if I think it might accelerate into me, or keep walking until I reach a safer crossing. My few close calls have all been because I got sloppy. Buses especially are slow, easy to see and easy to predict.

With bikes, there's not much I can do. I've had bikes pass me from behind at speed on the left on a sidewalk. If I had decided for whatever reason to step to the left at the wrong moment they'd have hit me full on. The worst street injury I've had was when a bike came at me from the front on a sidewalk in the dark from under some trees. By the time I realized it was a bike, it was too late, but luckily I lurched out of the way at the last second. I tripped over my feet and faceplanted at jogging speed but it could have been much worse.
The plug itself its fine, it's the government mandating that it's illegal to use alternatives that's overreaching. I believe people should have the choice to decide and try better alternatives. That's how innovations are made.

> Want to roll back the styrofoam ban too?

That's different because it bans one thing rather than declaring a single material as the only legal one. A better analogy would be if a state passed a law declaring cardboard as the only legal packing material and outlawing everything else. Also, the styrofoam ban is a state law, not a federal law. I don't personally feel strongly about a styrofoam ban, but if your state wants to try that, that's fine with me.

Because manufacturing lightbulbs today is a well established process and basically any manufacturer can produce them if they so chose, as opposed to 1925's situation.

If you want something that is going to be around for awhile and has a LOT of features you probably do not need then you are going to want to go probably with a .DPX or .EXR which are the standard for the VFX industry as well as film in general.

For video I personally like Cineform but both ProRes and DNxHD are more widely used

Absolutely -- it's like the PC of Theseus. I'm mixed on the motherboard thing. There's at least one instance where I changed only the motherboard, and so that didn't really feel like a "new" PC.

I think it was AMD AM3 to AM3+, enabled because AMD retained CPU socket compatibility. I needed a new board for another system, so instead of buying a new "old" board, I bought one for my main PC that was still compatible with my existing CPU (Phenom II ?), then used the old board for the other system. I later upgraded to a faster, newer generation CPU.

GNOME is in a position where any of their sponsored apps switching off of GPL could threaten their FSF endorsement.

Sad that you call your colleagues "competitors". I guess you also missed the main point of the initiative, which is to have the same productivity in one day less. So your extra day of work effectively does nothing to the bottom line.
