No, in PoW those with the most hashrate determine what the order of transactions is. Most of the world's computing power is in personal computers, so it is at least somewhat fairly distributed.
Somebody is confidently wrong.

There is no standard definition for "cost of sales", or "cost of goods sold". No where in any GAAP or IFRS literate does it say that the term "cost of sales" have specific definitions other than a paragraph or two of ambiguous wording. Indeed, IAS is even careful to say "allocating costs to functions may require arbitrary allocations and involve considerable judgement".

The Xiaomi filing doesn't breakdown what it includes in cost of sales, so we're left guessing without a supplemental to fill in the details. You're welcome to make whatever wilder guesses you like, but they're still just guesses.
They've been divesting heavily over the past few months. Prices cratered and high end cards have been going under MSRP for weeks.
I had Covid more than a month ago. While the illness itself was pretty short-lived - a maximum of 102F fever for a couple of days at most - the post-Covid fatigue has been very debilitating.

Even a month later, I just don't feel like there's any real power in my body. Like if I'm walking and want to launch into a sprint, my legs simply don't feel like they have the power to do so.

I've also had brain fog where I forget things and mispronounce words and names.

Weird disease.
I think you mean $17M, not $17B.
That was one of the better ones I’ve read (so far).

I feel like some real thought/attention was paid to people’s feelings.
I get why thin pillars don't work with modern safety standards, but surely tall windows are fine? There's plenty modern cars with fairly tall windows, like the renault kangoo?
Selling them?
Yep, same with bamboo flooring. It's literally tiny strips of bamboo glued together to look like a piece of real wood. Doesn't look as nice, and isn't cheap enough to justify its existence seeing as you can't sand it.
I asked my mother why she got vaccinated and boosted, despite knowing that the vaccines were for a legacy variant from like 2 years ago.

"I wanted to travel and go on my trip".

SMH.

They forced our parents to get these legacy vaccines for a variant that hasn't been seen in a year, and held Juicy cruises over their heads.

Next, there will be a vaccine requirement to play Bingo!
Good point. "3rd degree murder". Depends on jurisdiction tho.
i have kids and i agree 100% with the comment by bheadmaster
It is clear the foundation has been corrupted by the professional non-profit class. These are the same kinds of people who staff up a "housing foundation" in San Francisco, burn money for 10-15 years, and never build a single unit of housing.

The organization becomes a parasite that exists only to perpetuate itself. Hiring and spending expand to fill all available space which becomes its own justification to increase fundraising further. If any actual work for the public good gets done that's just a side benefit.

If WMF had simply held spending constant (adjusting for inflation) for just a few years they could have had an endowment big enough to ensure Wikipedia is able to run independently forever. If they were being responsible they'd also have spun it into a subsidiary non-profit that owned Wikipedia along with that endowment with a charter to focus exclusively on running Wikipedia and developing the software. Then their octopus of random spending programs could be operated as a sister subsidiary without any risk of destroying Wikipedia itself.

Honestly at this point if they proposed that plan I'd be willing to donate to get it done. Instead they hold Wikipedia hostage to justify their expanding empire.
A shell that's just on your network isn't good enough to exploit this. The attacker would need a shell on your computer, either running as you or as an administrative user. And given that, your data isn't safe anyway even if it weren't in cleartext.

That is de facto happening already.
Corruption spreads down, just look at the "mighty" Russian military.

If an org is corrupt (example: Trump admin), the competent, honest, people would stay away, and you just attract idiots, whose motivations might be different to doing the best job possible.
Hahaha, that's great that's great.

Again you're doing the same thing. Your language encodes that the only possible like dissent to the line is to be something that you want to say is an abomination....so it's basically like a language that encodes an intolerance of other points of you.

"Hmm, I'm confused, are you 'pro' something terrible?" Because there's no other way to view what I said there's no other need in an ideological zealotry discourse age there's no need to assess anything apart from someone's ideological purity polarity. 'I don't really understand what you're saying because I can't process anything outside of like a narrow binary are you Pro this terrible thing?" Because clearly there's nothing to add there's no possible criticism of the accepted line so there's no value in anything that dissents from it so the only thing you need to worry about is are they heretic?

The reasonable sounding almost bureaucratic language that encodes no tolerance for any points of view that question some viewpoint, is basically messaging that says t"here's no value outside of what we're saying, if you don't agree with us, if you question anything we say then you have to be the enemy."

It's a great way to create a monoculture of thought we just label any dissent at all as the worst possible thing you can imagine. Because then you don't have to listen to it oh that's dissenting let's just label it the worst possible thing ever then we don't have to consider it at all. So we can preserve and confirm our existing bias and idea.

I'm not taking a shot at you ...these kind of phrases or this kind of language is a trope that I think is sad how people have sort of unwittingly picked up on it: because on the face of it it's a powerful thing to say because you say it it's a simple thing to say and you basically are encoding the viewpoint that you're absolutely right and any dissent to that is absolutely wrong so it's a very satisfying and compelling and powerful thing to say but it's just it's very dangerous. so I'm not having a shot at you it's just this kind of language is a trope and I think it's sad how this type of discourse has spread to so many people.
Wait, the Ethereum blockchain alone was consuming 0.5% of the world's total energy?

That's just moving the goalposts because we were talking about market cap of stocks specifically.

I'm happy to check back in 10-20 years. I made an Ethereum wallet in 2017 and still haven't used it for anything meaningful. Anecdotally, the same seems to apply to everyone I know. I honestly don't think that will have changed by 2032. I don't think my stock portfolio will be on Ethereum then.
How many decades would you say?

It isn't art. But neither is decoration, nor craft.

Things can be "artistic" or contain art within them, but it doesn't make them art.

I don't buy that something done/created for the purpose of being viewed and evoking (even strong or many) reactions is enough of a criteria.

Otherwise things from trolling to 9/11 are "performance art" (an already barely hanging-on category), the latter of which was very "successful" at meeting this minimal set of rules.
That's not even close to true. Things can work well at first and then stop working after a while. That doesn't mean it didn't work initially.

If we only prescribed pain medication based on your definition, practically none of them would make it through.

Your body adapts to its environment and as such very few things will work in perpetuity.
Yup thats true, They also pushed cybersecurity very hard it was a very competitive industry and companies could go out of business very quickly if the site weren't properly locked down.
According to the call, I think it was 0.2% of global energy usage.

Every time I drive on highway 17 I always notice how many black bumper swipe marks are on the median barriers. I think: every single one of those marks prevented someone from heading straight into the oncoming traffic lanes!

Wow, how many lives were saved!
I’m surprised the article doesn’t mention Zimmer’s “Parasite Rex”, a book released a bit ago that was nightmare fuel for me when I read it.

i have tried libraries before, and yes, they can be real cool, esp if you desire that real quiet. it can be a revelation how quiet they can be. my local Bux happens to jack the music up to level eleventy most days. :-/

i did start considering again a coworking space. i did nextspace in san jose - was fine. not sure how much work i actually got done -- too much walk-in traffic, socializing, etc. - even when i didn't want to. looking at a place only in atl right now - https://meetatroam.com/ . their shared/open-office-style memberships start at something reasonable-ish -- $150 or so -- with the requisite scammy two-month minimum, signup fees, cancel before you'd ever expect to have to cancel restrictions, and prob a bunch of other stuff I won't find out until too late if i decide to sign up. they happen to have these solo-style offices which are bigger than phone booths, and lockable, etc., and they're yours -- think they are called 'Dedicated Desks' -- listed at $500 -- which is diff than i've seen at other places -- they are not just a dedicated desk like a reserved parking spot -- they're a private fully-sealed/contained seat/desk/booth -- which is something I'd be interested in. i'd want to knock out private calls in there, then float to the community area in between calls, etc. not affiliated, but the price seemed low enough, and they were open enough about pricing, that if i sign up to a place again, it could be them. the 'booths' at Roam are interesting because they seem to provide a touch of privacy, and seem to move back in the direction of cubicles - which were really good for getting work done. the twice i've gone to check out various locations, the booths were all filled.
Tch. I don't think that's necessary. That wasn't what I reached to do. That would be a mistake here. I know this was a good article to have a discussion and I was right.

I think it's in some sense if not more interesting I certainly an interesting take to pick up an article that oh okay I think I'm going to agree with this but actually it turns out it's written from a completely other point of view and then rather than just going oh yeah I totally agree with this I can share exactly why I think it's a crazy article.

How is it "spin"? Public health is always intimately connected with questions of cost-effectiveness.

Denmark also doesn't offer free influenza vaccinations to all adults. https://www.sst.dk/en/English/News/2022/Autumn-vaccinations-...

> We recommend influenza vaccination for everyone aged 65 and over as well as for persons with certain chronic diseases, children aged between 2 and 6, pregnant women in the second and third trimesters and staff in the healthcare and elderly care sector and selected parts of the social services sector.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varicella_vaccine points out "Not all countries provide the [chickenpox] vaccine due to its cost."
Good. The merge worked and they are not burning up the planet.

Now when are those Deep Learning systems in these data centers going to stop incinerating the planet with their useless deep learning models that not only are broken but require constant retraining and wasteful CO2 energy usage for years without any efficient alternatives?
Ethereum had about 80-90% of the whole hashrate of GPU mineable coins. The next biggest one was ETC with about 5% of the hashrate of Ethereum.

They can't go all to other coins. It won't be profitable.
My wife was rear ended mildly by a truck years ago, and was initially ok other than the shock. Headaches and dizziness started after the next day and, including recovery with physiotherapy, lasted around 3 months.

That stuff is not a joke.

(more lighthearted note: after 3 months, her symptoms were mostly gone except for a new and intermittent nausea. The therapist was confounded for a few days, until he suggested the cause of that might be more related to me than the truck driver)
so tried some googling and this old article conflates the two, so I'm now even more confused

usual comparison was that the energy consumption is comparable to nations like the Netherlands or Finland, so seems about right.
0.5% of the world’s electricity.
"Oh, there's broad consensus because everybody follows the same document" looks worse, not better, than there being disagreement.

Broad consensus based on the merits > Internal disagreement > broad consensus based on "guidelines".
I studied modern languages in undergraduate and later taught myself programming. Apart from a general “learning how to learn” and maybe a familiarity with language manipulation, it wasn’t a very useful precursor to programming.

With that said, the points listed at the bottom resonated with me. So few working developers seem to have an interest in the history of their craft. Even when talking solely about those who spend their spare time learning about programming and CS.

I love projects like The Daily Paper or Ideas That Created the Future because they give this context.

We operate pretty much exclusively in this sort of bow wave of current best practice and tooling. This is why eg JavaScript works continually reinvents the wheel.

In literature this would be inconceivable because you study the major authors who define the context in which more modern authors write (whether they accept it or not).

Am I expecting too much from working devs (again I mean the motivated ones)? Do computer science degrees usually cover the history well? Maybe CS is just too young to have a canon?
I'd still do "attachment parenting" over crying it out, but that's me. Just saying that every choice may have a downside that comes with the territory. Yes, I think anxiety and unwillingness to acknowledge it has played a huge part.
For spikes appear to be immaterial: every spike has a material “host” (the stuff around it, such as the edible part of a donut) and it may have a material “guest” (such as the liquid filling a cavity), but the spike itself does not seem to be made of matter. Indeed, spikes seem to be made of nothing, if anything is. And this gives rise to a number of conundrums.

The immaterial claim for "holes", doesn't hold up with for "spikes". It's getting at something specific, though broad.
The automotive industry has put a ton of work into pedestrian safety with frontal impacts.

The car is required in a developing country like the US. There is so much space between things still.

Our grandparents wanted to get to work and travel. Hard to blame them.

Also, so far, MAD has greatly reduced the number of big wars. It's hard to predict the future, but nuclear weapons so far have provided a lot of peace.

There was a year's worth of time where the booster could be produced but you could not get one if you wanted.

It's annoying that vaccination is only ever recommended or forbidden.

The modern seatbelt was invented by a volvo engineer, and they freely shared it with the rest of the industry.

I am certain that some car makers did not like the idea, but you cant say that the industry as a whole fought against seatbelts.
Interesting that it has started deflating already!
The Gramercy Tavern beetle story makes me wonder about this. If you provided unified customer experience in some contexts it's cool. In others, it's creepy. Even if the actual act hasn't changed.

I wonder what separates the two.
Total electricity*. Which is still huge, I am not sure people realize that there are no more low-hanging fruits in the form of a technical feat that a small group of people can accomplish like this, without impacting people's lives.
If there was an actual case, the question would be whether the defendant had access to the original work. If the original work was used to train the AI model, then the answer is yes. It's not necessary for the model to contain a copy of the original work.
People generally like the idea of democracies. Why shouldn't we let democratically elected representatives decide what cool things we want to do instead of leaving those decisions to individuals that happen to be very rich.
Hi! I was about to do an objective test against other note-taking apps but didn't have the time. I'll open an issue on Github and hope to get to it soon.
> I feel a great disturbance in the force. As if a million miners cried out all at once and then were suddenly silenced.

You might want to adjust your force sensitivity. The merge doesn't simply GPU mining will stop, simply that the PoS chain is now merged with the PoW chain. You'll still be able to PoW mine with your GPU until they remove PoW fully, which is due to happen sometime around Q3 2022.

the ant thing. So.. I get "close to the nest so it infects other ants" but .. is this not just statistics doing what darwinism does? if the fungus infects an ant far away, it has less outcome on the infection rate. the statistics of random chance infection ultimately favour the variances in the fungus, which produces more infection "close" to the hive. It has specific infectability, periodicity, plays to the ants day/night patterns, because its "more fit" statistically it skews to higher reproduction.

I much prefer a statistical model and skew, to intentionality language. maybe its me.
It's not passive though. You get paid for running a node and validating transactions. You stake ETH as a surety bond that you'll do it correctly.
During the livestream of the Merge someone said 0.2%, while Bitcoin was at 0.5%. Regardless, still an amazingly high percentage to just “turn off”.
We are talking about natural language not just verbal. I don't see anyone writing down body language to communicate anything...
PoW incentivizes renewable energy development. It's certainly not rolling it back.

It used to also incentivize GPU production, but as of today that has been diminished as well. Instead it is only current asset holders who reap the rewards.

EDIT: Edited to include at least one source on the connections between PoW and renewable energy. This just scratches the surface though. https://squareup.com/us/en/press/bcei-white-paper
I don't understand how money laundering works in the anecdote at the beginning. I guess you can launder some money that way, but how efficient is it?
Not much magic in there, to be honest:

Setup like this:

CREATE EXTENSION file_fdw;

CREATE SERVER pglog FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER file_fdw;

then do this for the easy interpretable proc files:

CREATE FOREIGN TABLE IF NOT EXISTS proc_loadavg(
load1 decimal,
load5 decimal,
load15 decimal,
threads_runnable_total text,
most_recent_pid integer

) SERVER pglog OPTIONS ( filename '/proc/loadavg', header 'false',delimiter ' ' );

For harder things, read the file as lines instead of fields, then create a view with some regexes to split it in fields:

CREATE FOREIGN TABLE IF NOT EXISTS proc_meminfo(
line text
) SERVER pglog OPTIONS ( filename '/proc/meminfo', header 'false',delimiter '$' );

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW proc_meminfo_interpreted AS
WITH arr AS (SELECT regexp_split_to_array(line,':| +') a FROM proc_meminfo)
SELECT a[1] as name,a[3] as value FROM arr;

Hardest part is creating semi-legible source code in HN ;-)
We are already very close to Q3 2022. Unless you meant another year.
