Oh, I don't doubt the influence. I was really only surprised about your assertion that Schoenberg believed that he carried on the traditions of both Brahms and Wagner, given the fractious climate around these two composers at the time. Not that he wasn't influenced by Wagner's music at all, but I've certainly considered him more in the Brahms camp.

What you said about the Brahms symphony reminded me of something Schoenberg wrote in "Brahms the Progressive", and so went to look it up and found another, more pertinent essay, "My Evolution" (written at 75).

In Schoenberg's essay "My Evolution", he writes that prior to Zemlinsky, he was a Brahmsian, but after he had a deep appreciation for Wagner's genius for writing music for stage action and goes on to detail how Verklärte Nacht was modeled on "Wagnerian 'model and sequence'...and on Brahm's technique of developing variation. He surely did acknowledge the influence as you suggest, which I suppose is tantamount to carrying on the tradition in some way, even if he didn't become primarily a composer for the stage.

Thanks for the post -- I had never thought to place Schoenberg somewhere in the Brahms/Wagner rift until your comment. That Schoenberg wrote the above about Wagner in 1949 rather than 1901 also let's Schoenberg affirm the influence with little risk to a new career.
What advantages does Telegram offer over other chat services that provide the ability to quickly spin up a group chat (e.g. discord, facebook messenger, whatsapp (I think), twitter, i.e. pretty much every chat service that people use these days)? I use Telegram among others but see its feature set as pretty much identical to all others. Just yet another chat app I have to lug around because of the 1 or 2 people who use it exclusively.
estimate and result oriented work are two different things.

Result oriented work is: Here is how much I did this week. I either met, exceeded or fell short of some expectation. The person then decides if this is the place they want to be and the employer decides if they are a good fit.

Agile in most places is a managers whip. I will go so far to say I have never seen it implemented in a way that is beneficial to devs. (possibly by design)

Estimates are even worse... you cant estimate software at scale. spending dollars to pickup dimes as the saying goes.

> meaning the US has full veto rights over to whom ASML gets to sell their EUV machines (spoiler alert, not to China).

That's false. For USA to be able to block exports of the technology, more than 25% (if I remember correctly) of parts has to be of US origin. When the EUV program started, the share of US technology was much higher, but as the program progressed, it was diluted.

USA could still block sale of EUV machines, by refusing export/licensing of critical components, but they'd have to change their laws first.

Fact is that ASML voluntarily chose to block exports to China. In part because they want to keep good relations with USA. It's the US that funded the EUV program in the beginning after all. But I'm sure ASML was tired of China copying their stuff too, so it probably wasn't hard to convince them.
No doubt there are several, none of which anyone of consequence cares about.

This is not a fundamental property of credit cards. It is a method of dispute resolution.

When I was doing IT ops for a company, we had a little program that generated 4 random common words and put a symbol between them (!.@#$%). Super easy to type and fairly easy to memorize, but according to every password checker also really hard to crack.

"Broth.Dogs.Run.Blue" is 10x easier to remember than "$#kdSk$SWE223" but 1000x times more secure. Probably more so, because you are less likely to have to write it down to remember it.
Understandable, but that’s why western liberal democracies have been established. G7 summits leave no room for this kind of reasoning.
The project is just getting going so there are still some features yet to be implemented before it will compete directly with other DBs feature for feature. (e.g. it only does a couple types of JOIN operations so far).

The key-value stores I created were actually invented to be used as tags for the object store I created to compete with conventional file systems. It wasn't until I discovered how fast the tags worked before I decided to benchmark them against popular DBs like PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or MySQL. When I discovered that queries against the same data sets were about 4-10x faster on my system, I turned my focus to the DB features.

As you pointed out, there is still a lot of work to be done on the marketing and sales side if this is going to be a successful startup.

I haven't done much benchmarking on insertion speed. I can insert CSV or Json files at about 100K rows per second, but I have not done a direct comparison against row oriented systems for that.
"Several" is an understatement. I couldn't find any stats on salvage titles, but Copart alone says they move more than 100k vehicles per month.

Then treat this like a hardware wallet. It's really hard to make trustless, decentralized physical cash which is what this is.

If cryptocurrency is to compete with fiat currency it should be able to do so through all the same mediums fiat can. You can hack these to load them with Bitcoin Cash and make a "Bitcoin Cash Cash" instrument. Previously one couldn't do this, now one can.

> The hot paths in most important high-end computing are mostly quite efficient.

it’s hard to determine the lower bound on a lot of these things. in scientific computing (e.g. physics sims) i still run across a lot of runtime branching that could easily be compiled out if we were using languages that had stronger type systems/templates. we use linear approximations for a lot of things, but it’s been shown that smarter interpolation can let you decrease your resolution without losing accuracy/stability. there’s an easy 2x or more perf gain every time you do that successfully. there’s also the boundary conditions: we always simulate more volume of space than we’re actually interested in so as to avoid certain types of distortion (reflections from the boundary of the simulation). over time we’ve learned tricks for reducing those reflections: we’ve applied a lot of general-purpose optimizations, but there’s evidence that we can go further if we encode more simulation-specific information at these boundaries. this whole area has just been slow, steady, compounded optimizations.

i don’t work in ML, but i find it very unlikely that (a) optimizing neural networks is a completely solved problem or (b) that you all know how to train them using the fewest iterations.

you make sweeping statements that just aren't obvious to me.
Some adapters are more problematic than others. For example if the charger and the vehicle both expect the other side to initiate the charging process and withhold power until some voltage is detected then the adapter may need its own independent power supply to jump-start the charging process. Locks are another problem—some combinations would require the adapter to provide powered locking mechanisms for both sides. None of this makes an adapter impossible, but it could be too expensive or unwieldy to be a practical solution.
> Also what does it mean for the note to be "cut"? Like with scissors?

Yes, exactly. There is a spot indicated on the note to cut it. This "tampers" the associated chip which can be reported back to us so that we release the encryption key to decrypt the local key.

> Is this product just intended for hardcore crypto folks or is it intended for regular people too?

Regular people too! The UX of our app will simplify a big part of this by indicating to folks the state of a note and their options with respect to claiming Bitcoin.
Curiously, despite being "already well known" and "numerous" you neglect to actually mention any such storage system. Because then you'd actually have to defend the claims of such miraculously cheap storage. We've been down this road plenty of times before: we have no known way of storing energy at the required scales, your plan essentially amounts to "hope compressed air, hydrogen, or some other exotic form of storage becomes nearly-free".
For me, it will charge but not power the dock for playing on a TV.

By comparison, if it was depressing to see awesome or inspiring technologies get steamrolled and monetized by the MBAs in the early 2000s, this farce evokes despair.
The point of signing is to do a checksum of the content of the video, not just adding a signature next to the stream (which would be pretty useless).

The signature of the politician on a street corner would only be valid if it actually verifies the content of the video; and the only entity that can produce that signature is the holder of the private key.

This is a nice fantasy and all, but how did that whole "In Europe [...] companies must comply with the intent of the law" work out for GDPR?

As far as I am aware, all the big tech companies that were used as the primary reason for creating GDPR are still doing the exact same things (that people were upset about) they were doing back then (just in a legally compliant™ way now according to "the intent of the law").

Not trying to take a dig at GDPR with this, it definitely made some tech companies to make some small concessions, like being able to export your data easier. But it would be difficult to argue that companies comply with GDPR according to the intent of the law, and not according to the letter of the law instead.
“To create an effective catalyst, the researchers needed to use a ratio of less than 0.0001 platinum to gallium. And most remarkably of all, the resulting system proved to be over 1,000 times more efficient than its solid-state rival […] Using advanced computational chemistry and modeling, their colleagues at RMIT, led by Professor Salvy Russo, were able to identify that the platinum never becomes solid, right down to the level of individual atoms. […] "They were always separated by gallium atoms. There is no solid platinum forming in this system." […] Surprisingly, it's actually the gallium that does the work of driving the desired chemical reaction, acting under the influence of platinum atoms in close proximity.”

Oh dear Lord, maybe the homeopathic cranks have been on to something all along!
I hadn't heard of the "Birthday Paradox" before you mentioned it your comment, but your description of it isn't quite right. It's not that half the people in a group of 23 will share a birthday, it's that there is a 50-50 chance that two people in the group will have the same birthday. Still, very interesting and I learned something today!
How do people log hyperfast data like this without impacting the thing you're measuring?

Serious question - How do you propose governments encourage companies to do what they want? Yes it’s a subsidy but it also seems like the government in this case is essentially buying a service. I guess Germany would hire people to build this factory directly rather than paying a foreign company to do it? Which I imagine would be more expensive if it’s even possible to do.

Do you think there are better ways to do this within capitalism or are you proposing we dismantle capitalism?
The chance is larger the Zero, we can't even think of standardizing something if is proprietary and we have to pay some corporation outside our jurisdiction a lot of money. So Apple did not even try, as usual they tried to milk things as long as possible exactly how they done it with dating apps in some EU countries.
This is also the problem with something like the Buy American Act. I recently heard about a case where pipes(?) had to be pulled back out of the ground because it was discovered that the steel for the bolts had come from China. All this creates enormous overhead and worsens inflation, not make it better.

Agreed, the motivation doesn't necessarily have to be an application, though that's probably one area worth emphasizing way more than it currently is, especially in secondary education—lower elementary, in particular, doesn't really have to struggle to communicate applications because counting and basic arithmetic are easy to find uses for.

Depending on your network in SF, you may be able to source contract work from there while working in Germany. If you can put up with not having local coworkers, you can get SF rates and pay small-town Bavaria costs and have her family to help with the kids.

Even if you commute into Munich, software developers in Germany don't get paid any where near what they do in the U.S.

One word of advice if you go down this path is to get very high quality tax advice. Contracting from overseas as an American involves the interaction between two tax systems, and it can be complicated. For example, if you don't structure the work in the right way you can end up paying U.S. self employment tax (about 15%) on your earnings.
You don't understand how Bitcoin works, and that's okay, but you need to do your homework before you make foolish comments like this.

Bitcoin's supply is regulated via a timed algorithm, meaning, it doles out an increasingly diminished amount of Bitcoin on a pre-timed cycle that will end in ~2140. In order to get that Bitcoin, "miners" need to perform work (via calculation of a nonce which as an auto-adjusting difficulty of computation—the "proof of work") that can't be faked or manipulated.

The beauty of that is that, unlike a central bank, no one can go and change a variable in a database to say "omg we have more money now!"
Once you start making money it’s cheaper to fly to another Latin American country, and/or Miami if possible and buy there. You can generally travel with a laptop and phone, just need to unpack them first.

What does that re-keying process do exactly? Surely it’s not just updating the key on the device itself, because then it wouldn’t do anything to stop people claiming encountered notes at the point of expiration, if I’m understanding this correctly. But it can’t be moving the funds to a new wallet either, because you don’t have control of the second private key yet. So… what exactly happens there?

My favorite smart ass response when someone asks me what dark fiber is:
Evil Fiber

But seriously, it is just a term of art, when one carrier sub-leases fiber without any terminating equipment and they provide their own equipment to light the fiber. It is "dark" from the standpoint of the provider, they are not "lighting" it. The customer is. Typically the fiber is leased using something called an IRU indefeasible right to use. Basically "condo-ised" fiber.
That was the main argument for global trade already in 1914. France was Germany's most important commercial partner, and vice-versa. All German rifles had stocks made from French walnut wood! All French locomotives had German-made tubing! This stupid mantra was repeated ad nauseam after 1991, too, with silly op-eds from Friedman and friends about how two countries with McDonald joints in both can't be at war and similar inanities. Surprise surprise, such wars happened many times since then (the latest being, of course, Russia vs Ukraine).
This argument has been made before.
