Good fortune is why “back” was an option.

Or that success is entirely a matter of luck.
FTC Investigating Amazon Deal to Buy One Medical Network of Health Clinics
What would the absolute worst outcome of that attack be? Miners don't have the option of spending from addresses they don't have the private keys of; all they can do is rewrite history to a certain extent.

Would it be bothersome? Yes.
Would a globally used bitcoin monetary base layer have complete backing of nation-states using it? Yes.
Would people be hesitant to transact during the attack? Probably.

None of these things are of immediate consequence, while the attacker spends its funds rewriting history and getting blowback from everyone online.

Then there is the issue of getting to 51% in the first place, and retaining that 51% once it is clear something nefarious is happening. Many miningpools are conglomerates of individual miners, who certainly have the option of switching to other parties at their whim.
I think proof of work is the only viable way currently known to man to ensure a fair, even monetary playing field at global scale. PoS is not proven, and Ethereum does not scale because it optimized for parameters that aren't relevant for a system that is supposed to be online for at least a century, if not longer.

You should not. A mentor once told me that we disabled people tend to apologize too much. You are right to point out the problem of accessibility in this context, despite the negative responses you've received.

Of all the GUI toolkits with wasm ports, IMO wx is the most amenable to using native HTML controls rather than doing everything with canvas. I'm sure that kind of port would take more work though.

A lot of the common services in the U.S. that take credit cards charge steep "convenience" fees. I've seen them for property managers (rent), utilities, and even government agencies like property tax collection. I once rented an apartment whose payment processor added an extra flat $35 to credit card charges. No thanks, I'm mailing a check!
This presumably is the point where one should consider that long before Foam, there were things called "wikis". One of them tries to build a network of human knowledge. It's called Wikipedia, you might have heard of it ;)

Foam is simply the next evolution - the shared tool is well-understood, we're now getting an augmented local version. And after that, we'll get something that's far more multi-user friendly, too. It's a pendulum that seems to swing back and forth in our industry.

The thing that I hope Foam & Friends will generate is a much better understanding of knowledge "operations", so we can understand the fundamental structures underneath better. (That's what happened with git & signed DAGs as version log. That's what happened with text & CRDTs as a model of shared edits)
Both are large gambling expansions. 27 is "worse" as it enables online sports betting, but all they talk up is homelessness and impoverished native tribes.

26 expands the native casinos to roulette and dice games.

It's also fair to note, that folks can vote "No" on both of them, and neither would take place. It's not "one wins if the other loses". I dunno what happens if they both "win", perhaps "biggest winner" wins.

The concern is that since sports gambling is getting more legalized, then the tribes can get their permission from the Federal Government rather than from the State, but I don't really understand the mechanics of that other than simply the State losing some aspect of control.
They get billions of the federal and state governments - I’ve always wondered why the federal government pours so much money into a transit system that such a small percentage of the country uses.
Yeah, I teach a class about operating systems. It's supposed to be developer-oriented. I remember the first time we couldn't run VirtualBox. I filed a ticket, and waited, and waited. Finished teaching the class, bumped the ticket. A year later, the class runs again and we still can't get anything done. Department chair and I have a meeting with the IT director, and he pushes to use WSL.

I'm like, uh, really? No. By this point I've had to "teach out of the book" so much I'm used to it, COVID has happened so half my class is working from home anyways... I pretty much just work around my IT department any chance I can. I bought a System76 laptop just so I don't have to request software upgrades and installs every other semester.
>Actual cable testers cost thousands.

Why? Surely there could be some SBC or something for like $100 which you could connect to your computer. The testing software can measure how long it takes to transfer a file. Then it could try charging itself from the computer requesting a higher and higher wattage. I don't see how a device like that could be so expensive.
If so, that won't be the Bitcoin my node will switch to. You can't force the network to do what you want. UASF and the many forks before, during, and after the fork wars have proven this.
There’s a fairly obscure video of a symposium that Drake participated in back some time ago, maybe in the 2010s, that was uploaded to YouTube. I think it might have taken place in Mountain View. I just went back to look and link to it but I couldn’t find it. Anyway, what’s surprising about the symposium is how much of a skeptical pessimist he is. He was speaking extemporaneously in response to questions, and he basically said, in realist terms, that due to various constraints, we will probably never leave the Solar System as a species, or if we manage to actually do it, we’re not going to get far. The video is kind of sad. I think he also said or implied that something like the Alcubierre drive is never going to happen and we’re basically not going anywhere. I’m probably misstating some of what he said, but that’s the general idea. It’s always stuck with me. It’s certainly possible that he was just having a bad day and woke up on the wrong side of the bed. After all, he has probably been asked these same questions thousands of times, and that might get a bit frustrating.
In Vietnam, the largest bill is 500,000 dong or about $22 usd. It is always entertaining to be in a bank there when someone is buying a house. I've seen whole tables and suitcases filled with stacks of cash and multiple people with counting machines trying to make sense of it all.

Banks are also recording your interaction on camera and doing plenty with that data to verify your identity and in cases of fraud, prosecute the imposter. Look for the cameras behind the tellers some time.

There is also plenty you can do at a bank you either can't do on the phone (say, get a cashier's account), more likely to succeed that automatic (open a credit card with less than stellar credit), or is more complex than a robot or human following a script can follow.

This is how it used to (and in many places still does) work all over Europe, but I imagine fare gates are much cheaper than controllers.

The German-speaking countries seem to be a (pretty big) exception to this rule; I wonder if there’s some cultural resistance against electronic ticketing? After all, Germany is also still very cash-oriented (at least before the pandemic).
Semantics. Nobody thinks your password being stolen means someone actually takes it from you or your device getting hacked means someone inflicted a physical blow with a sharp object. Someone illegitimately uses your personal information to claim your identity in recipt of goods and services. They stole your identification information to impersonate you.
In my area trades are almost impossible to enter if you do not have family/friend that's willing to take you on as an apprentice. It pays well but is also heavily gated by nepotism.
As someone working on a product that uses open source, GPL makes development more complex.

With a permissive license, I can make a decision, with my manager, to use a technology based on its merit.

Office bureaucrats get weird when you talk about the GPL. When using it, I have to involve lawyers in the company, they don’t understand why the technology is important, but they have a bunch of questions, and to answer them it takes up time from my team. Upper management is involved and wants to know if we can use anything else, or they’ll phrase it as a question like: why can’t you use anything else? You have to deal with a lot more office politics when you use GPL instead of doing development work. So I’d say that’s the biggest downside for developers is that it wastes their time.
Modern C actually has a boolean type, named _Bool (aliased bool if you ask for it explicitly) and yet sure enough despite this it figures '0', 100 and 0.1 are all truthy.

Yes, what's critical here is that the only type that should be boolean true is the boolean value true, and your language is letting you down when it insists strings, or integers or some other type entirely should be "truthy" because it was easier than writing what you meant - soon or later this type laziness will bite you.

I think this is more obvious in languages with pattern matching where the boolean if condition is just the world's least interesting pattern match, clearly (69, "Nice", true) doesn't match (true, true, true) as a pattern and is instead a type error.

Yes exactly this. And like other resource extraction industries, tourism does not provide many high skilled jobs and is not supportive of a growing and successful middle class, favouring wealth holders over wealth creators.
I imagine what a web3 team could do in a large company like that. Sit around trying to figure out what the hell is web3, and why should we care when the market doesn't most likely. Obviously the company couldn't just ignore it, but it looks like the FOMO is over now.

I can see AR happening on the other hand. Apple might end up figuring that one out.
I came across the awkwardness this introduces to guard clauses a while back, and found that it could act as a smell. Instead of drip-feeding the validation, do it all at once if you can.

Nannying is only considered low skill because outcomes are very difficult to measure and so the job becomes “keep child alive” when society makes that mostly trivial for most children.

> "... Anyway, your argument about the security per dollar afforded by proof-of-stake makes total sense; Bitcoin's high energy costs are actually high security costs."

RTL development is a very interesting beast. On one hand, development is challenging, and there's a massive amount of global $$$ in integrated circuits. These guys should be the top paid, cream of the crop, right?

However, the tools suck more than the English language has good words to describe, so it's hard for an engineer to be productive. And the products are complex, so you need a lot of engineers. And you're manufacturing physical products, so most of that huge dollar amount in the industry is trapped in manufacturing, not design. So even if you were the cream of the crop engineer, it's hard to extract much of that value for yourself.

On the other hand, webdev has extremely low capital overhead, and improvements in tools can go directly into developer productivity, which can immediately be realized as value (which gives you resources to improve even more).

So even if Verilog developers made the same money as JS developers today, in ten years, I'd expect the JS developers to make more.

One lesson here is that if you want your designs to improve rapidly, decouple them from the manufacturing business as much as you can. And you'll probably be able to pay better and attract better talent in the proces, which is a not insignificant benefit. Perhaps the rise of fabless semiconductor companies is understood even better in this light?
Obsidian's been helpful, even game-changing for my working life. But my obsidian knowledge is siloed to my computer. Is there something similarly good for working with teams/organizations? Confluence and Notion seem to check some of the boxes, but neither tool feels as fluent to use as Obsidian or Roam.
I notice that stuff is more expensive, particularly eating out, but I would say it is not affecting us, at least not yet.
The funny thing about those sentiments is, aside from how exaggerated their proportions are (only a single judge in the Supreme Court remarked in passing about revisiting Obergefell, and the very hysterically-named Florida bill is literally just the tax payers telling you they don't want their children to hear about your sex life, straight or gay, in their tax-funded public schools. If you want your children to hear about sex lives, cool, do it on your own time and money. You can say gay as much as you want, just not to other people's kids.), is that they are largely self-inflicted.

The Florida bill they are so terrified of would have never been drafted if public school employees never put gay porn in the library, people would have never got tired of Obergefell if not for the month-long religious festivals that lgbt movements like to hold so much. Lgbt movements create the conditions of their own societal rejection.
Who goes to amazon / Shopify for technology? The go for distro on both the buy and sell side. The fact they have software is an after thought.
You can, there is no reason that the data transmission cannot be done with fibre. You just need a fibre to USB coupler at the end and a source of power. If you have a use case for it you could build it with two Raspberry Pi and a pair of couplers.

Now is it worth it? That's another issue.
So I take that to mean you are unable to substantiate your claim with evidence.

Generally people are permitted to do something unless it is prohibited, so as I see it the burden is on you to prove your claim.

Perhaps I was exaggerating a bit, but saying "I was doing 1.75 jobs" seemed to be in the same ballpark.

In this case, the startup was young, and (as is usually the case for startups) we had too much to do as it was. Also, coincidentally, we had a bunch of people having babies around the same time. There were simply not that many other people who could take on the work.

I think that's primarily the point I want to make: in a sizable corporation, probably a quarter of the company could disappear for a year or two and it wouldn't make any difference. A young startup just doesn't have that amount of spare capacity, so it's not realistic to think that going on extended leave (for whatever reason) won't have a large impact on the people that remain.

PS - if you want to argue that by "one quarter" should really be a third or 20% or 15% or whatever, knock yourself out. Point being that large corporations have a lot more redundancy that small startups, so the impact of someone leaving for an extended period is vastly different.
> Who would need to go to a branch to complain and get a problem resolved if they could do so from their phone?

Sometimes the problem happens at the level of phone and it is much easier to have it sorted in person instead of being stuck on helpline. I had some issues with my local bank's app and they knew what to do at the branch.

> I don't know what AMD's valuation has to do with how seriously Framework will take an enquiry from one of their top ten investors.

Just as I don't know what Framework's valuation has to do with why one of the contributors to it is justified in taking it upon himself to try to order the company a different CPU.

> He incorrectly assumed that that meant anything else to AMD.

I think we agree there.

> Lack of follow up by framework is from Linus's own description. By the sounds of it his contact at framework was like "yeah we'll think about that, but we're busy right now" and put it on a backlog somewhere.

Right, they did not ask for his help, it doesn't really make any sense that he took it upon himself to try. What was AMD supposed to say, 'sure we will sell if Framework wants to order'? And then what, Framework is just as uninterested/not prioritising it as yesterday?
A little nanny-state-ish?

Proposing licensing for this is akin to proposing licensing for nearly anything else that requires a modicum of personal responsibility. I'm not here to defend the casinos but this proposition is crazy and I'd actively advocate against it.

Let's ignore the obvious non-starters like costs because the obvious deterrent is this: make it difficult to get started gambling by capitalizing on people's laziness. They wont go to the class, so they won't go gamble, right? They won't go to class to learn about the dangers of drinking so they won't drink, right?

The first counterpoint is arguably the simplest. In both cases, gambling and alcohol, doing it "under the table" is simple. There is arguably no difference between buying/making a set of dice, setting up a wood box in your house (or a cardboard box on the street) and playing craps. In fact, the odds are better doing this so you'll likely gain more customers. Benefit? It's easy to pack up, move, and keep secret. Nevada has an entire wing of the police dedicated to finding people gambling in their homes and it nets what I can only imagine is a grand average of 0 arrests per year. For alcohol, it's absolutely trivial to make swill. If you really want it, you're a yeast packet and fruit juice away from it. You can even make it with bread. Alcoholics don't care about flavor. If they do, you can distill your swill further and flavor it for less than $100 more. Is the goal then to require a license to buy copper pipes? Torches? How many licenses do I need before I need a separate bag for them? How many regulations will be propose on businesses before doing something like gambling or drinking alcohol require a NICS background check and re-taking a class every 2 years?

For things that are successfully licensed a few things need to happen.

1. It must be non-trivial for a person to start doing. Making pharmaceuticals is an example of this. Even trivial street drugs like heroin and cocaine are not room temperature IQ simple to manufacture. Many drugs require a full blown BSc/MSc in chemistry to even begin to understand.

2. The ability to acquire the components to do the thing must be reduced to the point it becomes impossible for a non-licensed person to get it. Again, manufacturing drugs is an example of this.

With these two in place you can successfully regulate something. Otherwise, the regulation will fail at the start.

At some point we must accept personal responsibility for our own vices. People attending GA or AA have done this. If you are predisposed to blowing 8x your net worth at a casino it's YOUR responsibility to not gamble. The casino can't be responsible for your own problems. Now, it's true the casinos do very little to stop someone from taking out a credit line at the cage, nor do they do anything to actively stop an obvious problem gambler. This is an avenue for change. Liquor stores often stop "regulars" from buying another liter of popov. But to propose licensing? Insane.
