> The UK government have been hopelessly out of their depth legislating the internet, since, forever.

This is both the good and the bad of this legislation. Bad, for obvious reasons, but good because usually they're so unbelievably out of their depth that it never actually comes to pass.

We're now, what, 5 years is it delayed on a bill that was supposed to require an ID for adult websites? I remember it started up before May was in power and still nothing has been done about it, and that was far less "ambitious" than this.
Is this website reliable?
This argument is always very funny to me.

History is rife with hundred-billion dollar industries destroyed in very short periods of time, across multitudes of field types.

For example, i've watched fields created by single legal opinions, grow to many billions, and then get destroyed overnight by a different legal opinion.
All in the course of 10-15 years.

The amount of money in it is just not a sufficient condition for it to stick around. It certainly helps, mind you, but there will always be somewhere else to put the trillion dollars.
A problem that could possibly be quantum-optimized and an existing set of solutions: Scheduling

Optimize the scheduling problem better than e.g. SLURM and then generate a sufficient classical solution that executes in P-space on classical computers.

SLURM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slurm_Workload_Manager :

> Slurm uses a best fit algorithm based on Hilbert curve scheduling or fat tree network topology in order to optimize locality of task assignments on parallel computers.[2]

Like a lot of things, the blame for this falls on the news media.
It's sometimes easy to get really scared of things you haven't thought all the way through. What _specifically_ are you scared of? Do you have reason to be scared of consequences of global warming that will be deadly in your generation? Are you scared about some kind of disastrous societal collapse greater than the World Wars, French Revolution or the collapse of the USSR? Are you afraid of not being able to enjoy some of your current luxuries, or are you afraid of you and your family dying?

If you don't really analyse these things, it can become easy to only think a slightly bad thing is likely, but feel the fear of some catastrophic impossible worst-case scenario happening, just because you haven't disentangled the two.

Also, I don't agree with your money-centric analysis. It's great that you're saving up all this money, but money is also transitory, and the things you're investing your savings in might collapse. It sounds like you instead have something much more valuable. Based on your salary, you probably have skills valued by society and are a hard worker. This probably means that even if you had $0 in the bank and had to start from scratch, you'd manage.

Therapy will help with these things. If it does, perfect. If you go and it doesn't, you can just stop going. You can definitely afford it.

Good luck! :)

Edit: Oh, and stop reading the news and focus on your work. It's obviously incredibly easy to get a doomsday perspective by reading about all the bad things happening all the time. This does not mean only bad things happen, plenty of good things do as well.
The Brain is not a Computer
(Before you start comparing with MacOS v1 and Windows v1, yes, true, but Windows 1 has clunky UI and neither MacOS nor Windows could execute more than program at a time. Only Amiga had that.)

I picked my goal posts arbitrarily, but an Amiga could basically run all software we have today, if the CPU was faster. Stream music + download something + editing a text, for instance. The Mac OS could only have done this a little bit later.

But sure, yes, the UI of the Mac was incredible, only 2 years after IBM PC.
It's a statement about probability. You can't assume that that specific piece of software will be abandoned in 25 minutes. But, if you had to guess which was 'more likely' to be around at some future time, then the Lindy effect would suggest its the software that's been around for 25 years over the one that was just released.

For context, the articles are written from the perspective of the DNC as a victim despite their illegal collusion in support of a pre-decided candidate. There is also a conspicuous absence of any language implying HRC's direct involvement in these events, as well as no assertion of Sanders' dominance in the primaries prior to DNC interference.
The article is one-sided... but are there honestly any good arguments in favour?

Step 1: roll it out for mature sites

Step 2: roll it out for all sites

Step 1 could be seen to have some justification. But any lawmaker with a functioning brain would immediately realize that Step 2 will cause a radical change on the Internet.

They aren’t saying that you get an unlinkable verifiable claim (Web3) that you’re over 18, to access ALL SITES. That would be somewhat reasonable. No, they say you’ll get an ID that is linked to you and all sites will be able to know who you are and cross correlate all data on you, to save the children. I mean… who needs third party cookie blocking at that point haha
I'm not a fan of python (it handles significant whitespace somewhat poorly). Cases like mixed tab-space whitespace and single-line only lambdas are python-specific problems for example.

I chose it mainly because I like the style and I haven't found it to be an issue in practice yet, especially with flexible rules for line continuations. The biggest detriment to me is the lack of auto-formatters for indentation.

Edit: I'll add to this a point I haven't seen discussed before about functional languages using the `f a b` syntax specifically. Without significant whitespace you cannot really have semicolon ellision with this syntax since almost any line may be interpreted as a function application of the next line. E.g. `a = b + c` and `foo 32` as subsequent lines would be interpreted as `a = b + (c foo 32)`, hence why ocaml requires semicolons. For some people semicolons are fine, but they're just noise to me :)

There's more detail on the specific significant whitespace scheme used on the website here: https://antelang.org/docs/language/#significant-whitespace

The GDPR has nothing to do with cookies - things that you can't control such as browser fingerprinting or IP addresses are also covered by data processing consent forms.

In fact, cookies are already pretty much useless for tracking anyway given that most browsers have strong countermeasures against them.
In case you don’t know about it, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_128:

The C128 is a significantly expanded successor to the C64, with nearly full compatibility. The newer machine has 128 KB of RAM in two 64 KB banks, and an 80-column color video output. It has a redesigned case and keyboard. Also included is a Zilog Z80 CPU which allows the C128 to run CP/M, as an alternative to the usual Commodore BASIC environment. The presence of the Z80 and the huge CP/M software library it brings, coupled with the C64's software library, gave the C128 one of the broadest ranges of available software among its competitors.

[…]

The C128 runs CP/M noticeably slower than most dedicated CP/M systems, as the Z80 processor runs at an effective speed of only 2 MHz

They should be abolished altogether. A court without judicial independence is worth nothing at all. Less than nothing because it hinders the formation of an independent court.
Carousels should simply be abolished. Just have paragraphs of text/image, one after the other.

Also, black text on white background is easier to read.

> Here's what Powell had to say: "We saw [home] prices moving up very very strongly for the last couple of years. So that changes now. And rates have moved up. We are well aware that mortgage rates have moved up a lot. And you are seeing a changing housing market. We are watching it to see what will happen. How much will it really affect residential investment? Not really sure. How much will it affect housing prices? Not really sure. Obviously, we are watching that quite carefully…It’s a very tight market. So prices might keep going up for a while, even in a world where rates are up. So it’s a complicated situation and we watch it very carefully. I'd say if you are a homebuyer, somebody or a young person looking to buy a home, you need a bit of a reset. We need to get back to a place where supply and demand are back together and where inflation is down low again, and mortgage rates are low again."

That word "reset" is ominous and should be taken very seriously.

People think that we're due for a correction in house prices so that first time buyers can get a chance to enter. That's not how housing bubbles end. They end with lower house prices, but such a crippled economy that few can or want to buy them out of fear of future declines/job losses, and severely restricted lending standards.

The idea that the Fed controls any of this is ridiculous. The arrogance of this institution is astounding. It's not a central bank. It doesn't control money, but rather a utility token called "bank reserves." It doesn't open and close valves on the monetary steam engine. It doesn't even know where those valves are located or their operating range because for decades the eurodollar system has allowed financial institutions to route around the Fed.

Wouldn’t prices have to fall very very significantly for this to make sense? Let’s say you can afford a $700k house at 3%. The principle on that with 20% down is about $2,360 per month. At 6% interest you’d be at $3,360. To have a similar payment of $2,360, that $700k would have to fall to $490,000. I can say with complete confidence that $700k houses are not going anywhere near $490k. Higher interest rates are not the answer.
Giant solar farms (like Solar Star in LA) will connect to the higher voltage grid rather than the low voltage grid used domestically. Exporting large amounts of power and moving that power geographically is exactly what this is designed for. There may be issues with lack of capacity in district and national grids. But it is a different problem to the domestic solar issue. It can be solved by reinforcement of existing lines, upgrading substations and building new ones.
...And then we're back to fiat currency again.
Hey there. I know exactly what you mean and why you are going through this.

This is the fate of very talented AND moral/just/fair people – who work in a social environment where there is no social equality.

For reference: I worked in India where the average monthly salary is much lower than what you said. Curse of being talented/rewarded, when you walk/bike through the streets where everyone is struggling to live, and the government doesn't care and all your tax dollars go to waste.

Do any of the following. It will make you feel better:

* Donate, small but regularly. Know a school for disadvantaged kids nearby, or a facility for elderly? Donate them $250/month. You will immediately feel better. You don't neeed to spend time for this, just do it.

* Or volunteer. Spend a few months in a country more desperate than your current country. Contact your local UNICEF or Red Cross and volunteer as a consultant. You don't need any special skills. If you can take care of your own expenses (food, travel) – they will be happy to fit you in any of their programmes. You will need to invest time for this.

* Or last but contentious: Move to a country where your tax dollars are properly used and you can personally see it in your eyes as society being more equitable and harmonious. I'm talking about Europe. You won't feel the urge to correct an imbalance when your tax dollars already work for society.

You feel morally repugnant to be rich in a poor society. There is nothing wrong about feeling that way. It makes you a real human. Don't try to cure yourself out of it. Just act on it. Do what can be reasonably done within your individual reach.

Edit: minor grammar.

More specifically - what does he do to get the guests that he's had?

I'm not buying explanations like (1) people just like him, and (2) having been at MIT helps with connections - he's had way too many people at the top of various fields, and way too many billionaires and CEOs to be explained by either of these statements. You could argue that at some point you have a positive feedback loop where the calibre of past guests makes new guests more willing to be on the podcast, but I don't think this it either since he's had many high profile guests from the start.
In the end, I'm confident little power is wasted; instead, power is sold on the spot market at low and sometimes negative rates. Datacenters will gobble it up to lower their prices too, making "bottom feeders" like crypto miners hit their "I am willing to pay this much" prices.

Then there's of course various energy storages; I believe one thing they want to implement is that any leftover electricity is put into generating hydrogen gas, which can be stored and later burned cleanly to generate power if needs be.

But yeah, that's a bunch of rambling from an amateur who amortizes grid capacity; in NL we have a problem that the grid is full. It's not really affecting day to day things yet, but it means that new companies - power generating or consuming - are not being connected to the grid because it would cause overloads. I'm not sure if they bleed power off anywhere yet.
I think you are commenting more that there's little home life with family, friends, and neighbors left. That's largely due to everyone working all the time tbh.
> It's not zoning, there's plenty of space that's permissibly zoned.

Yes but it seems to me that regulation and zoning disproportionately prevent building in desirable areas.

> The way credit works heavily discourages people from building houses and only lets them buy housing that's already built.

Interesting, would you care to explain further?
Home prices are likely to go down over the course of the summer in the US, driven by the increasing costs of financing. But macro factors (demographics driving up demand for a limited and slow to expand housing supply) are still present so the price relief could be short lived. Or we could enter a recession that drives home prices down to historic lows, nobody knows.

Mortgage rates are likely to stay elevated for a year minimum, so that’s just reality if you need a place to live in the meantime. Paying the extra monthly cost until rates drop and you can refinance probably still beats renting for that time.

Depends but overall the US rates put pressure on euro and generally all other currencies. In my country, which does not have euro, the last hike of the US rates got the currency to drop over 2% (which is already super weak). This means that our central bank will need to bump its rates even further.
The problem with this notion is the idea that I want to socialize with people I work with, when you hang out with co-workers all you do is talk about work.
I want to go to work get what I need to get done, stop working, then go off and do social things I want to do. Work is merely a means of cash flowing those things.
Unfortunately scammers will always find new suckers for their ventures. People lose money to pyramid selling/MLM scams in real life all the time. Cryptocurrencies just made it possible to recruit suckers on a global scale.

Unless governments step in and ban them, there will always be new crypto scams.

I’m guessing you are thinking of cache lines where CPUs will read/write data in 64 byte chunks from memory to/from cache.

This is not possible using wheels. Binary wheels cannot depend on shared libraries outside the wheel besides a small number of System libraries.

Yeah, people drastically underestimate the raw firepower of artillery. The M270 is called "the grid square removal system" for a reason. (Grid square refers to 1km x 1km area.)
The real reason behind the "annoyance" of the GDPR is its lack of enforcement. The regulation actually outlaws dark patterns in consent forms and should make it as easy to opt out as it is to opt in, but because there hasn't been any enforcement (especially in the UK - the ICO is near-useless from my experience), obnoxious and non-compliant consent flows have been allowed to proliferate.

From the industry’s perspective, they don’t care about per capita, they care about the total amount.

From the perspective of managing climate change, per capita analysis makes it easier to hide overall significance of the subsidies; aka 10k pop with 1k in subsidies on a per capita basis would be equivalent to 100k pop with 10k in subsidies; killing the 10k in subsidies of the 100k pop country would have 10x the impact on the industry.

This is not about being fair to countries, it’s about having as much impact as fast as possible.

Because the other side of supply is demand. Demand increased as 2 income couples now want to both have a home office to work from home, salaries went up from the great resignation, savings increased due to lack of anything to spend on, and rates were incredibly low. Basically the perfect opportunity that made everyone ready to buy at the same time. Some amount of people moved from a HCOL area to a LCOL area and kept the same salary so they could afford to spend more as well. This all led to the people thinking they need to buy now or they are going to miss out which further increased demand.
> (Oh, look, Tether's involved again. How much of the $160M in their claimed "shareholder capital" at https://tether.to/en/transparency has evaporated in the last month? They're currently claiming it hasn't changed by more than $50 since a month ago; https://twitter.com/jjjbtc/status/1524819806892982272)

If you need any strong suggestions that Tether's asset statements are a pack of lies, this is it. They claimed to have--before the cryptocurrency collapses started--an equity buffer of around 0.2% of total assets. Now they claim to have unwound ~10% of those positions in a market environment where selling any of those assets (even something like US treasuries!) would realize enough loss to wipe out that buffer. Instead, their equity buffer increased by something like 0.00001%.
