I'm way out of my depth here and only speaking based on what I've seen people talking about online, but my understanding is that:

There are multiple types of securities offerings. The sec has historically denied the 1934 act etf's for bitcoin (spot or futures based) claiming they weren't comfortable with the guarantees it offers.. This is what Grayscale is based on. The original future's based etf that they accepted was based on the 1940's act which the sec explicitly said they preferred. Earlier this year the sec approved a 1934 futures based bitcoin etf. My understanding is that one of Grayscale's arguments is that it is unfair and arbitrary to deny their 1934 based etf when they just accepted separate one a few months ago and that clearly their concerns relating to the 1934 based offerings no longer exist.
Not a fan of BTC but I think it's time to approve this

How would a bitcoin ETF be riskier than stuff which already exists like UVXY, which has lost 99.9999% of it value since inception and has even more volatility
collecting "data" doesnt mean you can answer the questions you want to know. Hourly GPS data is mostly useless for answering pretty much anything except "where was the car an hour ago", but 0.2second GPS you can do quite a lot. It just always seems like the hourly option gets chosen because it cheaper and easier, and you are now collecting "big data". That option is chosen at the tender stage long before any data people get involved. And it turns out that the location of the car an hour ago is never the problem I get asked to solve with the data.

> Looking at the price of the book, he wants to make money from it

The price of a printed book includes:

- the price of materials

- the price of printing

- the price of transportation

- the price of storage

- the margins and profits of all of the above

- the margins and the profit of the store

And then, and only then, the author making money, if any.

How is e-book going to impact the author's profit, exactly?
It sounds like legal gibberish to me as well, but here's my best guess:

* Contracts may have some cancellation period associated with them. You and I have entered a contract where I renovate your kitchen, and in exchange you pay me. I have you on the calendar in three months. If you change your mind in the next month, you can cancel the contract at no penalty.

* Two weeks later, I call you back and ask if you'd like me to start immediately. Somebody else canceled, and I have an opening in the schedule. You agree, and so I start the renovations.

* Another week passes, and the renovations are complete. But we're only three weeks into the original month-long cancelation period, so you slyly say that you'd like to cancel with no penalty. I could say that since I had begun the performance of my obligations, the cancellation period ended early.

So, I can understand where the concepts would come in. What makes no sense whatsoever is to have a cancellation period that ends at the same moment that the cancellation period starts. In the example, the cancellation period ended based on a follow-up choice. In Nintendo's wording, it seems like an attempt to negate any cancellation period whatsoever, because it would be created and dismissed within the same contract.

Sincere question: is an alternate app competing with Slack’s services? We pay for each user who uses Slack, whether it’s by phone, desktop, or web. The client is 100% free; the right to connect to their service is what costs money. Slack makes exactly the same whether I use their app or an alternative.

I’m definitely not a lawyer, but it’s not clear to me that this would violate the ToS.

I think that depends where you live. Regulations in my location changed so that hot had to have the same configuration as cold (and supposedly the same potability?). Old houses in the area have separate taps for hot / cold whereas newer houses built after the change have combined hot/cold.

Unless they were inches from the water heater, or had a hot water recirculation system in place:

lol no. Those pipes never even got warm. Ice makers don't use anywhere near enough water to flush even a short line.

---

For doing the math! Many ice makers use about four fluid ounces of water per cycle, slightly over 100ml: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-sear...

Per hourly cycle. Or nearly.

When was the last time you turned on the hot water an hour after anyone else used it, and had even the most sightly warmed water within one half to one third of a glass of water?

Never. Even the under-sink heaters hardly work that fast, and their water only has to travel like a meter at most.
You need a project view for that since it needs to go into all the files and do the "right thing" all over. It needs to verify external dependencies aren't broken as a result, etc.
that would require some fast running while holding the door and steering wheel!

My experience is that IDEs do not really support that sort of clean separation- you're always fighting to get it to support your VM or Dockerfile.
In my part of the country, the hot water is softened, so it has an elevated salt content.
I expect the rate of heating for the creamer to be lower than the rate of cooling for the coffee, unless your coffee is 90% creamer.
That was my initial reaction too, but upon consideration, how long does it take for hot water to get down the line? Typically, both the hot and cold water lines are full of room-temperature water until you run them long enough to heat up all of the piping between source and sink. I'm having trouble picturing an in-home ice maker having enough throughput for it to actually matter.
Yes, I’d be pretty pissed off if my plumber did that.
> So putting in the creamer immediately steals the most efficient cooling period for the coffee.

Correct, and we're trying to optimize for hot coffee after 30 minutes. We want cooling to be less efficient.
I think you'll notice the CPU cannot play 4K 60fps in GIF format. Maybe the problem is literally the format itself, which is terrible. It's too bad something like MPEG or some of the animated PNG / JPEG / WEBM formats never took off for meme-y animated images.

The memory layout can be better this way depending on how the fields of a strict are laid out. It also gives the data better locality.

Let's say you're iterating over position coordinates of some set of objects in a game. With an array-of-structs you can lose ou on cache locality if unrelated fields are nearby. If you use a struct-of-arrays you get cache locality advantages anytime you do something like "iterate over this 1 field for each object"

The latter approach is called data oriented programming btw, and seems to have been around for a while. Andrew Kelley gave a good talk about it recently while using Zig: https://media.handmade-seattle.com/practical-data-oriented-d...

> Then in high school, I joined the business club which had competitive C++ events.

What kind of high school has a business club with competitive C++? Is/was this common? I graduated 4 years ago from a school in the Bay Area and the closest we had was FIRST robotics or a Data Structures and Algorithms class (which we had to beg for...)
heat isn't real, it's just a measurement of the entropy in a system

if hot water takes shortcuts and freezes faster than cold, then it requires less energy to do so - that is the crux of the debate
I used to help run a few vbulletin forums, customising the code and doing admin stuff.

One of those that survive, the forum still exists (https://www.sau.com.au/forums/). It's a very specific, niche, technical forum, where owners of Nissan Skylines socialised, asked technical questions and traded.

Facebook Marketplace/eBay etc cannibalised the trading. This meant sponsors of the forum who helped pay the hosting bills slowly reduced.

Social banter moved to Facebook Groups (often more localised geographically... in its heyday in the late 90's and early 2000's the forum had people from all over the world socialising around the clock)

Which means technical Q&A is the main drawcard now, and is the most active component of the forum outside of the diehard "oldschool crew" who keep the social parts active. I expected reddit to cannibalise the technical Q&A, but it hasn't as forums present a combination of threaded conversation and blog style updates from the OP or groups of contributors.
I did read the article and interestingly, I learnt we do not know a lot about phase transitions. Even more interesting, why would hot and cold water reach 0'c almost at the same time (according to one of the experiments)? If the rate of cooling were same, we would expect hot water to be tepid when cold water is 0'c.

Btw, I have seen similar experiments in really cold climates, where a cup of hot water thrown freezes immediately, but cold water does not.

Anyways, I am always one for running the experiments :)
I always thought they use volume as a measurement for experiments. Like "we took 100ml of water..."
What did you find? You left that interesting part out :)
> if some of the water starts at 100°C, then presumably some of it will evaporate,

Under controlled conditions, it would not. Ideally it would be in a pressure regulated space.
Hot water tanks and heating elements corrode over time.

There's 3 languages in the same class. Julia, Nim and Crystal.

I'm specifically curious about Crystal vs. Nim. Benchmarks show that crystal is pretty much faster, but I'd also like to know the advantages of why someone would choose Nim over Crystal I'm looking for reasoning that is deeper then just superficial language syntax differences.

Has anyone extensively used both? I would like an unbiased view from someone who has used both as opposed to someone who's only used one.
Want to add:

While "rolling coal" is definitely emission bypass, not all emission bypass is as obvious as "rolling coal"

Virtually all the trucks on the way to the local construction sites here each morning very obviously are using some kind of defeat either improve mpg or just be "tough guy" with a louder exhaust - they aren't billowing smoke, but definitely smell/sound way worse than a stock truck

Imagine if there are a million trucks on the road right now with those bypass and they put out twenty times the pollution of a stock truck. Destruction spread out so it's not obvious but adds up fast.
The second deduction you mention is just tax fraud. If they didn't have stringent checks that doesn't make it a valid deduction compared to today
I don’t know why I think this, but I have it in my head that hot water heaters can have more mineral build up. This is why I always thought you should use cold water. Even though the hot was still drinkable, it might be harder water.

I have no idea if this is accurate.

Forgive me if I'm totally wrong, but it's copyright law, right?

TikTok lets you put current popular music on the videos without a care for copyright, correct? As they are Chinese, they don;t really care about any lawsuits. The same is not true for US based companies, thus they don't have as good of music on it.

Maybe be we have a second brain. Or may be some part of the brain is “irrational” and cannot be model. Or strange to say, even we find more and more pattern in the physical things and can link to what we perceive and act, there might be something else. And that something else is more important that others.

Or I just hope there is something there. Unique. Cannot be copied. It might not last or re-birth or incarnations… n fact it might be better that way.

In the pre-digital days I had a 92 BMW that seemed to have the reverse "problem" - pushing "up" or "down" on the cruise control settings wouldn't move you up or down a whole mile per hour, but seemed to operate in KMH - it would move something like 0.6 or 0.7 miles. (There was no direct digital readout, but it had a "average speed" trip computer that I remember resetting after some changes after noticing it seemed to move less than 1mph on the speedometer.)

This is the reality of the matter, though there may be some minor benefit to "using up" hot water a bit more. Practically it's unlikely to matter either way.
