Implanting a chip in one's hand is overkill. An NFC is just basically a relay antenna... you could wear it or have it attached to your watch or ring.

That's like if someone says "a car is $18,000, just make your own car," another person laughs and says "you don't really think you can build a street legal car from scratch without making a car company," and someone else saying "really, what do you estimate a car company would cost?"

It's completely unnecessary to make that estimate, a nonsense proposition since any two implementations are two orders of magnitude in cost apart, and a question that should never be asked of someone who hasn't done it.

Which is weird, because if you are who I think you are, you've done this in a trivial way, focusing on tiny sites.

> He has continued to update the paper (as recently as last year), it has not been retracted, and he appears to maintain the proof is correct on his YouTube channel.

You know that ArXiV and YouTube aren't considered "journals" and don't have a similar requirement for "retractions". It sounds like you think he should hide his shame; otherwise he deserves your attacks.

> We all make mistakes, and no one would really care if he admitted this. What makes the case notable is that he has enough mathematical training that he should really be able recognize his proof is wrong, especially after the errors are uncovered by others. Continuing to assert the proof is correct after errors have been found is bizarre.

People probably shouldn't, and don't, care because he's not affecting them in any way with his RH-related ArXiV and YouTube musing.

More importantly, where are there people showing him how his proof is wrong, and where is he outright denying their points/proofs? It seems like I'm missing a link or two, because I haven't seen any of these things, yet you're referring to them as though they're apparent and damning.

My guess is that he simply doesn't get feedback about this stuff, and he probably doesn't even care that much, because this is just a set of ideas with which he likes to work. I've seen no signs of a charged or "high stakes" math community engagement, and definitely not the kind that deserves these unwarranted personal criticisms.

The difference between printing money and taxing money is almost nil in many cases. Both increase availability of government funds while reducing the purchasing power of citizens. Printing money is just fewer steps.

Playing my own critic though: printing money is a regressive tax. It causes the same percent inflation for every person's money. The reduced purchasing power hurts lower classes more.

> It's not clear whether the author means to say foldl and foldr are equivalent, or only that any foldl call which terminates can be converted into a foldr call.

Oh, no, I wasn't trying to say that they were equivalent in general - of course, fold right is the more general operator, as you can implement fold left in terms of fold right. (As an OCaml programmer, I'm used to assuming that all my lists are finite[1]).

The interesting part that I wanted to highlight was the fact that when you express fold as a declarative relation, it is possible to obtain both fold left and fold right essentially for free. Maybe this is an obvious fact for Prolog practitioners, but as a functional programmer this was a somewhat surprising discovery for me.

What kind of bale of hay? Where I live, a bale of hay weighs something like 200kg, total weight would be 1800kg which I don't think any car could muster (nor actually fit), but seems you're using "bale of hay" as a different measurement than what I have in mind.
It's hard to imagine any system where half (or more) of your total earnings being taken is justified.

After you have a right fold and a left fold (both of which fold elemental values one by one into a bulk accumulation), might as well pretend we've got access to a bit more working memory than in the days of Unit Record Equipment, and write an associative "bottom up" fold, that first combines pairs of elemental values, then combines pairs of those combinations, etc., terminating with a single bulk result.

Yes, I think thats probably a better way to think of it.

The "water frame" was a key element of the industrialisation, and what was that initially powered by? That's right horses. It was only because they used water later on that it got that name.

The fact that they were basically automating an industry that India had led for centuries, and couldn't compete on wages seems key to the whole thing (and still needed government support to stop the cheap manually produced imports from crushing the early automation).

Another example is the early use of steam engines in iron production, where they were used to pump water, which then did the actual work (because steam engines couldn't rotate yet).

Interesting that my comment sounds like a complaint.

The Romans had a huge blind spot because of their economic system.

We have a huge blind spot because of our economic system.

What is that blind spot? What's in that blind spot? We're in the last stages of the information revolution. The maturity of the information revolution will continue for as long as civilization does; we are continuing the industrial revolution even now.

The Star Trek Original Series and Next Generation both showed a "post-scarcity" society. What is most scarce in our society that prevents a post-scarcity society? What does an economy look like in post-scarcity?

We have Science Fiction, it's entirely possible that ancient Rome had futurists too.

Think of my comment about RPi/Pie in terms of economic revolutions. A society that can make a pie only needs a few things that are relatively easily gathered. An adult human could reasonably invent a pie in any age, from the Stone Age until now. That such an incredibly simple food may be underpriced by advanced technology requiring millions of cumulative person-hours of technical progress is simply astounding.

The wsj article was kind of from an idiot. At the same time, it's true there aren't enough chargers and we are building them out and it should be as easy as "just drive".

Separate from that, if you have a tesla, this problem is not there because they have enough chargers and they are maintained. It's the clown car mixed private ev chargers that are broken, in bad locations and have low power. When tesla opens up their network (by adding the other common plug) I expect many of the other ev charger companies will go out of business or have to significantly improve their speed and quality. My 2012 tesla had around 250 miles range (drove it for 50k miles, after 3 years upgraded to the awd, still have that one, still has 265/270 original miles range.
The Go team has members with decades of experience writing garbage collection algorithms, including on the JVM, so it's not starting from scratch.

Go has value types and stack allocation that allow it to create _far_ less garbage than Java and means its heap objects violate the generational hypothesis-- because shortlived objects tend to stay on the stack. This means that the Go GC can comfortably operate with far less GC throughput than typical Java programs.

> Finley sought to demonstrate that the ancient economy was not ‘proto-capitalist’ in its orientation but rather a decidedly alien economy where economic relations were structured by status, legally enforced class and slavery more than money or profit.

This is one of those things Marx really nailed with the idea that a "mode" of production wasn't just determined by labor and material but that it is also determined by the relationships between the participants in a political economy or the "relations" of production.

Reads like an introvert's dream:

> The essential convention was that a first person would not expect to see a second person in the second's own home (unless invited or introduced) without having first left his visiting card at the second's home. Upon leaving the card, the first would not expect to be admitted initially but instead might receive a card at his own home in response from the second. This would serve as a signal that a personal visit and meeting at home would be welcome. On the other hand, if no card was forthcoming, or if a card was sent in an envelope, a personal visit was thereby discouraged.

and also:

> Sample lady's visiting card, specifying an "At Home" day

I'm genuinely unsure what other product would be made if you react isocyanogen tetrabromide with sodium azide, you could get a mix of azide and bromide on the isocyanogen, but that's super unlikely (bromide and azide double displacement is favourable reaction in this case, the bromine being more than happy to fuck off with the sodium) and you would get a distinct bromine cloud off any detonation or deflagration of the product.

That implies that other kinds of landholding did not have access to cheap labor - but serf, sharecroppers, and farm hands are all pretty cheap under the right circumstances.

More pertinently, the "expensive" farm workers of the industrializing countries weren't expensive enough for farming to be mechanized until the 20th century. Second half of that before it had replaced manual forms of farming entirely. Farming itself never was the driver for industrialization, but a rather late profiteer of it. It follows that farm slaves couldn't have been the blocker for industrialization, at least not as directly as you assume.

Japanese grammar is starkly minimalist. It's not hard to learn at all, the basic structure is almost purely agglutinative, and the word order is consistently head-final in all cases (e.g. SOV for sentence and modifier-modified for not only adjectives but also relative and appositive clauses), and it helps that Japanese doesn't grammatically track several things that other languages do, such as person, number, or gender.

There are only two real problems:

1. The writing system is ridiculously complex, and even if you just vow to only write in romaji you also have to deal with the problem that kanji acts as a huge source of both puns and compound words. You can invent new compound words just by jamming together the on readings of a couple of kanji and most Japanese people will understand you. It's also not unheard of in, for example, songs, to pronounce a word one way when singing but write it in the official lyrics sheet using kanji that's normally associated with a completely different word. The closest I can compare to this in other languages would be like if you were talking and using sign language at the same time and you were deliberately signing different words than what you were speaking in order to add subtext.

2. Because a) so many features aren't grammatically tracked and b) Japanese is aggressively pro-drop, a lot of sentences are extremely ambiguous without context. For example, you often can't tell just from hearing the words if someone is saying "I go", "you go", "they go", "he goes", or "she goes" (in Japanese these are all just iku/ikimasu... unless you're going out of your way to put a pronoun in there, but most people don't); you have to parse the sentence in the context of what else is being said in the conversation or by what's going on around you.

> From a customer perspective, with a fixed bid, isn't contractor incentivized to cut corners?

It would depend on who you're contracting with.

There are no doubt countless (particularly massive, govt) projects where the contracted company does only the bare minimum work under the contract and doesn't care about burning the relationship. On the other hand the general arguments in favor of fixed bid from the client side is that it a) gives the client a specific number to budget/get approval for and b) it incentivizes the contractor to time-efficiently deliver what has been agreed to.

Fixed bids work best when both parties have a shared, concrete idea of what needs to be delivered including level of quality and the likely amount minor changes along the way. However in practice this is often not the case, and when a difference of good-faith expectations happens usually no one is left happy. The client may feel that certain aspects were presumed to be included in the fixed bid proposal and will likely need to submit formal change requests to pay for more work (that may need to get additional approval). On the other side the contractor may feel the client is trying to squeeze potentially a sizable amount of free work beyond what was agreed upon/charged.

Contracting on a time & materials basis alleviates most of the problems mentioned, but comes with its own downsides/risks for both sides.
