> Exactly how many of those missiles does Russia have in its inventory?

Good question, it's hard to say - but probably enough to knock out most NATO command and control and sink all carrier groups in Europe. Remember, MSM said they would run out in just a couple days about two months ago. Considering they're launching a handful per day for the past few months, probably not any time soon. You can bet that their factories are working three shift right now.

Disagree. The other side have the ability to qualify the expert witness during voir dire [0]. The other side's also have the opportunity to find their expert to counter and bring in expertise.

I-Bonds are not a high-quality instrument. They are a small gift from the government. Each person is only allowed to buy $10k. That's hardly enough to qualify as an investment vehicle.
The problem is, when does bitcoin actually crash? I agree it is a scam and should crash in a sane rational world. But I’ve heard these exact arguments like 5 years ago. It’s the scam that just keeps going!

Eventually it has to end, right? What is the thing that makes it end? Or will it just fizzle out with no real implosion? Maybe after 10 years to most people it would be just a distant memory?

The economics of most employment is a tradeoff between how much value you add to the equation and how much you can extract (you can also participate with resource depletion and leveraging of starting capital, but for most employees value insertion vs value extraction is the main issue).

Are you a nontechnical sales drone who can't figure out when your product fits the requirements, but you are a mandatory middleman between a company who really needs your product and someone (or many someones) who built something really valuable? You can extract a commission of a few percent of the vast amount of value that flows past you, which may be far in excess of the value you provide.

Are you a subject-matter expert in a cubicle farm full of other SMEs? You may be contributing far in excess of the value you provide, because you just don't have any leverage to extract any of it.

When a court only has time for a few hours of testimony to help decide a case worth hundreds of millions regarding some enterprise that's affected millions of people over many years, that's a recipe for value extraction far in excess of the normal value of an hour.
I wonder how much the lawyer is being paid for their expertise? Kind of rich to imply that the expert witness' motivation should be called into question when that question could even more easily be turned around on the lawyer. Why would we believe any of the facts of the matter laid out by a lawyer when their paycheck (and future paychecks) depends on the outcome of the case? In fact, the lawyer is paid to lay out the facts in as biased a manner as possible to convince the jury side with their client regardless of what actually happened. If a jury should be coached to disregard anyone during a trial, it's the lawyer.
It's not the "same trick", because they're not doing any of the shit Tether is doing.

I recently was a juror in a personal injury case.

It wasn’t quite cut and dry questioning but the result was the same.

An insurance company medical expert was testifying and it went similarly.

Under questioning it was clear that:

- This doctor never actually examined the injured patient.

- They reviewed some… but not all of the medical documents.

- Their conclusions were strangely specific for not having reviewed some information.

- This guy appeared to just be a hired gun for the insurance company.

During deliberations everyone agreed to ignore his testimony entirely.

Several jurors were actually kinda pissed that dude even testified.
And why should they know it? Just like how I can't understand the exact side-effects of every industrial chemical that I might come into contact with, I expect the government to offer some protection against these things for an unsuspecting population.
For everyone pointing out all the indirect revenue benefits of Maps:

You're right, but in every patent infringement case against geo, the plaintiff's "damages expert" makes up a theory about this, so they can go after the AdWords money pot. Because there's no revenue in geo.

If Google endorsed one such theory, that would be bad, very bad, no good at all.

Unwinding changes to the TLB on every mispredict would have a significant overhead and hurt overall performance. Removing valid data you just cached (speculatively or otherwise) is generally a bad idea.

User mode software requires a TLB (unless you want to do a page walk for every single instruction!)

Even if you could remove the TLB entirely from the CPU somehow, the attacker could just use the cache or some other microarchitectural structure.

Right, but not all of it. The way Qwik serializes it is (this is from memory and probably overly simplistic, but conceptually approximate):

- Primitives already present from the server render are serialized directly into the HTML, and the compiled code reads those values from the DOM

- Everything else is split into fine grain chunks, assigned a special identifier (Qwik uses URLs) which is serialized to the HTML to fetch (which can be eager or on-demand) and activate interactivity as needed

My understanding is that currently Qwik serializes more than necessary—i.e. can be optimized further to eliminate non-interactive chunks from consideration—but that they’re focused on reducing JS cost first.

There's also the concept that the artifacts (imperfections) of being hand-made add value; much in the same way that people prefer vinyl because of it's imperfections. Having a master crafted _item_ vs a machine made one can be considered to add "quality/value", even if it's not as technically perfect.

I believe that "ad hominem" is not actually a fallacy in general. Like anywhere intent is involved. And in math too. You can never take the camera out of the room, if you see the camera taken out of the room that's not the camera, that's a camera, you're looking through *the* camera. "Hidden camera" scenes involve a second hidden camera, only some of the shots are made pointing at the camera, plus the "fools" in pranks that "fall" for hidden camera jokes are paid actors themselves, everyone you see in 2D is an actor. Mirrors aren't quite 2D, it's 3D in practice, a flat decent mirror that was built properly, and looks even when you move from side to side and up and down, and back and forth, that's the real you, that's different. People in general look like they look in the mirror, it's the shitty photos with tiny little cameras that make them look like shit, and often distort the image to neg them, like in 1984 when the tortured Winston goes to look at the cameras, under the effect of drugs, which are allegedly mirrors, plus the put makeup on him, plus the lighting, everything. When I was scouted as a model and went to castings the cameras were invariably bigger than the eye of a squid. A tiny camera can only take a good picture with photoshop, it's super distorted and can't be placed on a phone except for crappy images (like photos of contracts). Anything else is trying to distort distortions into looking right. It's like a straight wire, once bent it can't be straightened again by bending it back, it's never going to be straight again.

A camera can only fit on a tripod or around your neck, a camera can't be smaller than a human eye. In fact cameras are based on dissections of eyes, particularly human eyes, in the dead. One flaw is they're projected onto planes, instead of the retinal spheres. There's many other problems.

So ad hominem? Eh. Who told you about ad hominem, and what did they want from you when they told you about it? Who put that in the curriculum, and why? I suppose it's taught as an alternative to name-calling and dragging people down like in more raw fighting. So criminals are when they're in crazy arrogance mode continually insulting and degrading their victim as loud as possible.

There's also a huge amount of ad hominem masquerading as accusations of ad hominem, like "my ad hominem doesn't count as ad hominem" or "you're not a hominem." Prejudging while forbidding judgment in return, criminality basically. Libel and slander for sure.

There's no objectivity. What does no eye see? What does no mind think?

Show HN: FlexMeasures ― optimize flexible energy demand, in Python
Hi,

this is for everybody who is interested in clean tech, especially real-time automation within new energy systems.

We've been working on FlexMeasures for a while ― an energy management system (EMS) with a focus on using demand flexibility to its maximum potential.

We're running it in several pilots ourselves, but our aim is to speed up the energy transition across the world. Let's not re-invent the wheel (i.e. a software stack around time series and optimization) too many times. Wherever you are in the world, and whatever setting you might be looking at (energy-modern housing in the U.S., smart e-mobility in Africa, self-balancing microgrids in Indonesia, etc.), maybe some of you will like our approach.

We've decided that making it easy and clear for developers to build such energy solutions can bring the largest gains. The first step towards that goal was a permissive license (Apache 2.0). The latest step we took was a Docker image (we got a Docker-based tutorial here: https://flexmeasures.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tut/toy-exampl...).

You can see the code at https://github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures

Since recently, FlexMeasures is a project within the Linux Energy Foundation (https://www.lfenergy.org/projects/flexmeasures/), which helps to establish a proper governance and quality standard.

Actually, upcoming Thursday is our next Technical Steering Committee meeting, and interested people are warmly invited:

Thursday, June 16 at 8:00 am US Pacific Time / 11:00 am US Eastern
time / 5:00 pm Central European Time

> You really cannot make this up.

Not only you can make this up but it's literally happened hundreds of times in the history of cryptocurrency. So much that there is even a catchphrase for it: "Not your keys, not your Bitcoin". MtGox being the most infamous example.

> As usual crypto in practice is the opposite of decentralized because people. Will. Not. Run. Their. Servers.

1) Only a small percentage of the total Bitcoin supply is held on Binance.

2) Self-custody doesn't require running your own server.

Why is this the top comment? I don't know (but I have my suspicions).
I would like to provide some context to people unfamiliar with how the bitcoin mempool works and what you can do to avoid getting your transaction stuck.
The mempool is all of the transactions that have ben gossiped about but have not yet been mined (finalized) into a block. Each node has their own mempool. You can see [1] that there are roughly 6 hrs worth of transactions in this node's mempool (everyone should have a similar mempool, though not identical).

So Binance's claims of network congestion are "true" on the surface, however there are a few interesting points that lead me to believe that they are acting fishy.

1. Why does Binance not have RBF enabled on their withdrawal transactions?

RBF mean "replace by fee" and it's a way you can mark an unconfirmed transaction as replaceable by a similar transaction that pays higher fees. This is extremely useful when you need to ram a transaction into a block by increasing the fee you're willing to pay miners to mine your transaction. I highly recommend you only use a wallet that allows you to use RBF & to have RBF enabled by default. Of course Binance knows about RBF so why aren't they using it?

2. Why does Binance not use 'Child Pays for Parent'?

CPFP is a little hard to understand if you don't understand that bitcoin transactions are linked together in a graph structure. In short, a bitcoin transaction is a data structure that points to previous transactions to spend. CPFP is when you make a new transaction that spends from your previous unconfirmed transaction (un-mined transaction in the mempool) and over pay in fees to cover the cost of both transactions. This incentivizes miners to include BOTH transaction in the same block. Once again Binance should be doing this. An ideal way to do this would be to batch a bunch of customer withdrawals in a single transaction. This would save a lot on network fees. They would make this big transaction payout a *large* amount back to themselves so that they could CPFP this batched withdrawal transaction.

3. Binance has their own mining pool with 11% of the network hash[2].

Binance could easily prioritize their "stuck" withdrawal transaction in their pool's blocks. Of course if they didn't subsidize their miners for this they risk them switching to another pool. One would think that halting withdrawals is an existential risk to their business so temporarily paying their miners to ram transactions through should be worth it?

So what is the take away from all of this?

There are numerous tools at Binance's disposal. Why did they not work/why are they not using them? My hunch is that they don't have all of their ducks in a row & are running a fractional reserve. (this is pure speculation on my part) They likely had a lot of (your) bitcoin tied up in "risk-free" interest accounts (Celsius) and are scrambling to get ahold of bitcoin to give back to customers.
