Satoshi consensus is essentially the bible to their cultural ideology.

You can bridge bitcoin to another chain with faster finality, smart contracts, and environmental consensus.

But at the end if the day there will still be a huge amount of people who will never deviate from the core ideology.
I know how blunt and cynical this sounds, but as someone that (for whatever reason) consumes a lot of British news and culture I often get the feeling that the media is writing content for an infantilized public.

Does anyone else agree and/or have a better way of phrasing this perspective?
Yes but you don't get the namer's intent beamed into your brain when you see or hear a word for the first time. To me and a lot of other people it's pretty clearly sql-lite regardless of what the namer wants it to be. Maybe this makes me stupid or whatever but when naming things you also have to account for my stupidity because I share it with a lot of other people.
> I have a hard time taking any argument for free will too seriously without a suggestion for a mechanism that would make it possible.

Well obviously there is no known mechanism at this point. As far as we know all matter obeys the laws of physics and our brain is no exception. Even if you want to suppose quantum effects are present in the brain (unlikely), that would at most impart some degree of randomness.

The real nail in the coffin for any potential new scientific discovery that could cause free will is that this would have to entail some localized overriding of the currently known laws of nature to work - your motor neurons, or their inputs/etc, not being driven by chemistry but rather by this new "force" overriding chemistry.

The problem of course is that no-one has ever observed the laws of chemistry not being observed, not even once, in our brain or elsewhere, which seems a major problem given that "free will" is subjectively happening non-stop.

So, while it's not inconceivable that some new force/whatever might be discovered that controls matter in ways we've not seen, the real problem is that in this case there is no problem to solve! It's not like postulated "dark matter" invented to solve a problem with gravity ... in the case of brain/body function there is no mystery to solve, and no need for new physics - our brain/body appears to operate entirely under the control of the currently known laws of nature, which doesn't leave anything for undiscovered physics (or dualistic "souls") to control!

Sorry to be pedantic, but it was GM not Ford mentioned in the article.
Honestly, it's gotten better in the last few years, but when I first moved to Dallas, the most noteworthy thing wasn't even these high-profile large-scale outages. It was the poor state of infrastructure in general. Above-ground power lines combined with trees the city never trimmed meant we had outages from lines going down virtually every time there was a rain storm. Really, that still happens, but they seem to have finally built enough redundancy in that it comes right back, instead of coming back hours later like it used to.
Meanwhile in the US, we have states allowing counties to ban solar and wind energy production specifically on privately owned and industrially zoned land. I hope Australia can push through the fossil fuel lobby as they start to fight harder.

> Kids cycle to school alone from a young age

Unfortunately our kids weren't allowed to cycle to school unaccompanied by an adult until they reached year 4 and had passed their cycling proficiency test (mid-way through that school year).

I've been cycling with my daughter to kindergarten for at least a year, she's fine with the cycling bit, it's the looking-out-for-other-vehicles bit that's not quite there yet :/ This obviously depends a lot on local road layouts, and unfortunately we have a junction more or less right outside the school and kindergarten that way too many car drivers come through at speed...
The lack of "seem" changes the title entirely.

Anyone anyone who has read "official repair manuals" knows that they're always more detailed and have more steps than you actually need to perform, because they cover every possible situation and assume you have perfect tools and training and are following all possible safety protocols.

I remember reading the Chilton manual for my car vs the factory repair manual, and the Chilton would mention "the repair manual says to remove the front bumper, but with a bit of a squeeze and some care, you can do the replacement without that step" kind of thing all the time.
This is where your mistake is: they can't be using the other blocks as well, because they are erasing their own (uncensored) transactions by doing so.

Let's say that MiningPoolA controls 51% of hashpower, and MiningPoolB controls 49%. MiningPoolA is refusing to mine transactions from/to some wallet W.

Time T1:
MiningPoolA: OldChain -- Block1(no W)
MiningPoolB: OldChain -- Block1'(W receives 1BTC) still in progress

Any client will accept the chain with Block1 (no transactions from/to W)

Time T2 - if MiningPoolB tries to compete
MiningPoolA: OldChain -- Block1(no W) -- Block2 (no W)
MiningPoolB: OldChain -- Block1'(W receives 1BTC) -- Block2' (parent=Block1') still in progress

Any client will accept the chain with Block1 (no transactions from/to W), and MiningPoolB will never be able to catch up

Time T2 - if MiningPoolB decides to accept MiningPoolA's chain, but add the transaction in the second block:

MiningPoolA: OldChain -- Block1(no W) -- Block2 (no W)
MiningPoolB: OldChain -- Block1(no W) -- Block2' (parent=Block1, adds transaction W receives 1BTC) still in progress

Any client will accept the chain with Block1 (no transactions from/to W), and MiningPoolB will never be able to catch up

If a mining pool had 51+% of hashpower, they would always be mining the longest chain, no one would be able to compete with them and publish another block (in principle, at least; in practice, since mining is not entirely deterministic, someone else will occasionally win the lottery and propose a new block faster).

You’re misunderstanding. Enabling the “slasher feature” on your validators is an option that any validator can do, not something that only “approved” validators can do.

There’s no one gate keeping your ability to become a slasher as long as you run a validator, and there’s no centralized entity deciding whether or not to slash someone’s stake.
Are your findings “WEIRD”? (2010)
This isn't an average it's modelled on real-time demand and supply and the 99% means 3 days worth of power met by non-solar/wind/hydro peaker plants over a year, not instantly plunging into a 3 day long version of Mad Max.

That depends on your language and culture, "floor" is not easily translated, some languages have a word describing all the layers added to the base layer, so "1. sal" (Danish as an example) actually means "the first layer added on top of the base house".

Again, this is more a spoken language/culture thing, and this goes back to what premises we use to communicate with the machines, ours or the machines...
"in Australia" is an important qualification here. Australia has a very high ratio of available solar and wind energy to population.

Not that getting Australia fully on renewables wouldn't be exciting. But it is definitely an easier target than say the US.
It's certainly more complicated but I think it's better overall. I bought myself an Ebike without a grant as a substitute for my gas car for runs around the neighborhood. Because of the high gas prices in the US it's possible that i've paid off a significant amount of that bike just in the last four months.

I started just using in for just errands that are maybe less than 3-5 miles around my house but I sat down the other day and realized that I've only used my car once in the last two months. I imagine though in the winter my car usage will increase (seattle so rain, gloom, early sunsets, etc.)
At one point I was subscribed to most of those listed. I like a lot of niche/older content and it's just really split up now. I was getting sick of it. Every single one of the shows I wanted was on a different service, almost no overlap.

I wasn't using any one service enough to justify their monthly costs. The alternative would be to cancel and re-subscribe when you want to, but that gets exhausting very quickly for 6+ services.

I decided to cancel all of those subscriptions and go elsewhere. It's just not worth it at this point for me.

Apple: If the adhesive strip breaks, attempt to retrieve the rest of the strip with ESD-safe tweezers. If you can’t retrieve the rest of the strip, replace the top case

I live in the suburbs in Lewis Center, Ohio. If I want to get a coffee? I have to get in my car and drive somewhere. Groceries? Same. Gym? Well I built one in my garage, but same thing. Doctor? Off and away I go in a car. I can walk over to this pizza place, but doing so is dangerous because I have to cross a high-traffic road with a 45 mph speed limit. Very few people do it, though I do see teenagers cross the highway from time to time with skateboards and such like it's Frogger.

There isn't just no mass transit, there isn't any transit at all. There aren't any bus stops, there are no bike lanes, there's no train (and never will be) you are stuck in suburban islands where the primary way of getting from one to the other involves a rather ridiculous walk or just literally running multiple lanes of traffic.

So please don't suggest that I'm being hyperbolic or loose and fast with words here. This is what reality looks like for where I live and for many millions of Americans.

But on topic, Apple's official stance, as provided by this repair manual, is that replacing a battery requires you to replace vast portions of the final product.

Car analogy time: Got bad seals on your block? Send us the engine; who knows what kind of damage those bad seals have done. Oh, and only we, your car manufacturer can get you the tools and an authorized engine replacement.

Can the battery be replaced without the assembly? iFixit says yes. Is this how Apple does it? Sure, but it's generating a lot of cost and waste. They can write both of. Can you?
> but many have told me later that they really like coding an IF game using Inform 7 once

Apparently that creates a web page and encodes the game as a Parchment (Javascript) file!
With "template string literal" types TS has gotten incredible at "stringly typed" APIs (more powerful than just about any other type language in existence in this arena, from what I've seen).

With great power comes great responsibility, and just because Typescript can do a lot of it now, doesn't mean that you should do it in Typescript.

The counting activity doesn't begin when the first item is registered; it begins when the counter is initialized to zero. A decision is made to begin counting, along with the realization that nothing has been counting yet. That's when counting has started. When the first item is seen, the counting is then continuing.

Suppose your job is to count some events. You check in for work at 8:00 a.m., but the first event has not registered until noon. By your logic you should not be paid for four hours, because you're paid to count, and counting started at 1.
Google wasn't "built within two years". It is a living software program backed by massive infrastructure. It was iterated on for decades and continues to be. The very first iteration of page rank maybe was done in two years. But stop implying that Sergey and Larry built it in their dorm and could walk away from it with zero input or assistance from the tens of thousands of engineers they hired in the ensuing years.

The web "rock solid" in the year 2000? Bud, I was still on dial up in the year 2000. Microsoft was still licking its wounds from antitrust lawsuits regarding the web in the year 2000. Flash plugins with huge security deficiencies were still common on the web in 2000. JavaScript was slow as hell because some of Google's tens of thousands of employees hadn't invented V8 yet or Chrome browser yet.

Good lord you are washing over a hell of a lot of complexity and effort that went into making the modern web fairly solid.

Arrays in Ada start at the index based on the index type of the array. You can even use an enumeration type as the index:

type Day is (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday);
type Hours is array (Day range <>) of Natural;

V : Hours (Monday .. Friday);

Which index type you should use depends on the problem that you're trying to model. You can find out the lower/higher end of a type/variable with the 'First and 'Last attributes.

IIRC there's an RFC though to force the lower end of the index to a certain value like 1 or any other number/enum.

This is the service manual you're referencing. The one they're complaining about it is the M1 MacBook Pro.

And here's iFixIt's actual complaint:

> it’s not 162 pages because Apple has changed where batteries sit in the MacBook Pro. It’s that long because the manual says that to replace the battery, you’ve got to replace the entire top case. At the time of writing, Apple will not sell you a replacement MacBook Pro battery. They sell you a “Top Case with Battery and Keyboard.”
That's fine. Define it as saturating on those architectures. Just being defined as "this never happens" is hugely detrimental to predicting how you're program behaves.

Fair, I used Android TV (picked a TV with a decent chipset) before, and it played what I wanted well. The reason I got an Apple TV was because I loved Infuse on iOS, wanted some (easier) AirPods integration and found out all the apps I use are dramatically better on tvOS. Plus Android TV was starting to really annoy me with bugs and slowdowns.

> Meaning even if the value drops at exchanges, no miner will sell below this value due to not breaking even on electricity

You have causation reversed here. It is not that bitcoin would not sell/be worth less than the amount to mine it.

Instead, it is that it wouldn't be mined if it were worth less than the cost to mine it.

At which point, miners would drop out, and the cost to mine it would reduce, as the difficulty goes down.

Programmers could make 1000 great AI sites, but it will only take a few bad ones to earn enduring hostility from society to AI (and forums that promulgate bad anti-social uses of AI).

Porn objectifies all women (and men), reducing everyone's ability to have real relationships by setting expectations and creating doubts about your partner's real objectives. That makes life unsatisfying, and dissatisfaction bleeds into all aspects of public participation, from politeness through voting and work collaboration. #MeToo systemic bias and oppositional incels are already driving forces in office and partisan politics.

Porn is not illegal, and some argue it's sex-positive. But assuming you are exporting some social costs, even if you were willing to take responsibility for the damage you cause, you couldn't.

It's not fair to force others to clean up after you. And it's not fair to saddle other AI uses with constraints born of misuse.
I'm afraid that's just what it's like to be disabled. Nobody believes you, eventually even your own family turns on you thinking you're exaggerating or faking. Lots of us learn to minimize it, or hide it entirely when possible.

No, old calendar systems are one indexed. In those system, there is literally no year zero; the first year is year one. This leads to crazy things like year 100 being part of the "first century" and year 101 being part of the "second century".

That is not the case with age or birthdays which are, thankfully, zero indexed. The first year of human life is age=0, birthdays=0.

I think they make a totally fair critique. The quote you pulled out is specifically about the fact that battery replacement alone takes 162 pages to get through.

They also describe the manual as “ they’re in-depth, mostly logical, and well worth an additional repairability point” higher up in the article.
