I think you’ve missed a few things.

- not everywhere uses a decimal, some uses the comma and a decimal for thousands. Using a number input, these things are handled for you.

- this seems highly specific for a SPA and not server-side

- “e” is a valid part of a number, I don’t understand why you have issues with it.
Nice. I guess it’s about time to check what Sketch has been up to…
In my experience most are coming from nearby suburbs, not exurbs. While I might take the commuter rail in for a major sporting event or concert even if it might mean waiting around—or park at an outlying transit lot—It’s pretty impractical for most evening events and this is a major city with pretty good transportation options generally.

City residents can do whatever they want but I for one will simply not come in in general if it’s too big a hassle. And that’s fine. I have plenty of other things to do.
The engine wasn't the problem, the lack of industry regulation in areas like gas and oil was the problem. Don't blame the tool.

I've found wages to be increasing, but not necessarily against inflation.

General trends I've gathered (opinionated loose observations):
- Wages in smaller cities have increased the most.
- Costs of living in smaller cities have greatly increased relating to remote work and current events.
- Wages have greatly increased at the very top and upper bottom.
- Median wages have increased the least and often not kept up with inflation.
- Wages at the very bottom haven't changed much.

Personally, I don't believe my wages have kept up with inflation and cost of living. ~10 years ago I was on salary without stock and my current base pay is ~16% lower, my target TC is only 35% higher, but reality is looking more like 20% more. If I were to target 5% growth in pay per year, the increase should be closer to 62%. And keep in mind housing costs have more than doubled...
All of this completely ignores career growth, my title is higher than it was 10 years ago.

If you were a crypto miner and had a pile of GPUs would they be powered-off right now? Of course not.
This article was the first I read that describes the new system. It appears designed to benefit Etherium banks. The more you hold, the more you get.

> Miners are replaced by validators – people who “stake” at least 32 ETH by sending them to an address on the Ethereum network where they cannot be bought or sold.
These staked ETH tokens act like lottery tickets: The more ETH a validator stakes, the more likely one of its tickets will be drawn, granting it the ability to write a “block” of transactions to Ethereum's digital ledger.

Barring isolated systems (mines, logging) all track should be two meter gauge (78-3/4"). Although the measuring system of our neighbors across the Channel is not widely esteemed here, what we choose here in Britain will of course be widely copied throughout the World. Such a gauge would provide for the future, "future-proof", the Global system of track, allowing wider loads, greater stability for passengers, etc., it being readily apparent that rail is the future of all long distance travel.

> The old process (proof of work) was environmentally a disaster (it still is for the Bitcoin ecosystem)

There's no problem with spending the energy if it actually buys us something. It's a disaster because it failed to actually decentralize the network.

Instead of everyone with a computer being able to participate, we have very few people buying up all the hardware for their massive centralized mining operations. If that's how it's going to be, then we might as well move on to proof of stake.

Monero seems to have a better designed proof of work system. It's ASIC and GPU resistant, normal people manage to use their computers to mine XMR. One CPU one vote, that was the whole point since the beginning.

Unless road conditions are completely 100% ideal (no snow, no rain, road markers are clearly visible and not covered up by dirt/dust/rubbermarks), you're never, _ever_ going to have fully autonomous self-driving. Too many variables and factors to account for.

Elon Musk has been gloating about fully self driving vehicles for years, but has never really delivered, despite people paying tens of thousands for access to the BETA feature.

It's probably much better off to have RFID beacons planted in roadways (either along lane markers, or in the center of lanes) which can be easily read by vehicles with the appropriate antenna. Sort of like a virtual railroad track. (Then again, what's stopping someone from hijacking the signal and telling all the cars going through downtown areas that they're all going to turn left/right suddenly)

It's tough. I don't like the cultural idea of letting computers control aspects of our lives. We're already starting to come to terms with it in things like AI-controlled content administration with Google (Youtube/Gmail), Facebook (New Feed "personalization", etc). I think inviting it into our physical world is going to bring up a lot of questions people didn't think they'd ever have to answer in their lives.
Why are you fixated on the lowest tier of "zero-trust", that is eskrow? And why does the number of people using a service or technology have to match what Paypal clears to be an improvement on the status quo? At the end of the day, we were talking about the concept of trust, and it seems pretty straight forward to me that lowering the number of parties involved in a transaction reduces the number of parties that need to be trusted.

Paypal doesn't even appear on the radar (even if you overlook their outright predatory and scummy behaviour) when there is the option to outright remove the payment provider from the equation and reduce the number of involved parties by one, while still allowing for a third-party (a human for eskrow, or an oracle with human fallback for a smart contract) to arbitrate if necessary if one or both parties are malicious.

Also who says there is no legal action if it goes wrong? It's better to set things up such that things can't go wrong, but if they do, the rule of law doesn't cease to exist just because it happened online.

I haven't seen a coherent argument yet, but maybe I'm missing something...

It might depend on your bank, but if you request it, it should be possible for them to issue a new card on the same account without cancelling the old card.

Your new card will have a new number and expiry date, but the old one will remain valid.

In any case, these days my web browser remembers card numbers and fills them in automatically, so it’s really not such a big deal to update card numbers online.
For reason I stated after that, but not in my own context but their context.

This wasn't the impression I got from op. It's perfectly valid to point out that the u.s. is also guilty of the things it imposes sanctions on other countries for - I don't believe that the argument is being made that Cuba is blameless, just that if you're going to hold someone to a standard of behavior, you should first hold yourself to that standard.

As a u.s. citizen, this resonates. I'm deeply troubled by the fact that we've been led by war criminals in my lifetime who got off scot-free.

Mind you, I'm not defending Cuba's human rights violations - I agree that things should be done to mitigate those. However, we should clean our own house first.

It's also been posted elsewhere in this thread, that sanctions haven't appeared to be effective. I think it's hard to argue otherwise, especially if you believe that the awful-dictator situation still persists, as we've had Cuba under sanctions for a while now.
This is incredibly short-sighted.

Just because a company is "private" doesn't mean they can do anything (manufacturing illegal goods, selling things that are harmful, not hire a certain category of people, etc.) We could add to the list of illegal behaviors the fact of denying service without justification and recourse.

Secondly, when those companies confiscate our accounts, they deprive us of what we had stored there (emails, messages, etc.), which should be considered stealing, even if they don't directly profit from the steal.

But most importantly, the size of these companies make them akin to utilities; while not impossible, it's incredibly difficult to operate in today's world without a Gmail account, or in certain circles without access to Instagram, Facebook, Discord, etc.

Given the impact to someone's life to be deprived of such access, the decision should not be left to companies, "private" or not, but supervised public authorities.

In France, the fact, for a professional, of refusing to sell something for no reason is punishable by up to three years in prison[0]. (If the victim sues, the reasons for not selling have to be presented to the judge, who then decides if they're valid or not.) I don't think this has ever been used against a FAANG but it would be a very interesting test.

The central server only needs to handle shared data - and we already have plenty of protocols for that so that there can be multiple companies that provide that service or, if you prefer, allow you to self host.

URLs can handle the rest, this is why they exist after all.
You are in luck: ML, Haskell, and C++ all support powerful type systems. Rust's has been growing in power, coming from behind. Its recent addition of an analog to C++'s numeric template arguments was a big improvement. Meanwhile, C++20's long-gestating "concept" support moved it into new territory.

So reading up on what can now be done with C++ concepts should give you some ideas. For a more abstract treatment, read about Haskell's type classes.
So, it’s no longer “rent seeking” behavior, now it’s a digital collectable that enables rent collection.

This narrow argument depends on a total lack of opportunity cost and alternatives. The assumption is that it is somehow optimal for Bezos personally to extract maximal
personal wealth constructing a pseudo-monopoly before exiting. A secondary assumption is that Bezos personally is globally unique in his ability to do what he did.

Plenty of investors exit early, and the benefits accruing to a monopoly could theoretically just as easily be distributed to a collective as opposed to an individual, circumventing the billionaire issue.

It’s SV’s whole game to construct a NPV of a future monopoly, cash in, and move on, before the regulators come
in. This has nothing to do with wealth generation.
I wonder what will happen now that the ponzi structure is now gained new velocity as energy constraints have shut down proof of work mining. PoW creates centralized collusion between those who can afford the best miners and this helped the velocity of the chain itself since it is only as good as the last mined block.

Now that layer is gone, its this proof-of-stake which is a bit funny since, Ponzi schemes are also proof-of-stake, where the previous investors stake's performance signals the next until the order books flip to a highly skewed with a very long til, it results in the last group who were late to the party, get caught with the bags.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are many whales dumping as they would know (and I hope so) what the new paradigm shift is in this digital ponzi gold rush.

Also rather anxious for these fellas who promoted securities written on ethereum. The SEC flat out came out and said almost all cryptocurrencies passes the howey test recently. This PoS seems perfectly timed for the occassion.
Some of the hardest additions I've made to my gym workouts include crawling and jumping. Jumping / bounding, especially if you haven't done much of it before, is quite taxing.

I prefer bodybuilding lifts over crossfit style movements, but I realized that dynamic movements would be a worthy addition, at least to my warmups or finishers.

It came to light in a particularly undignified way: I took my kid to a mega-trampoline place and realized: 1) I can't jump for long, 2) jumps down from height are especially unsettling now that I'm no longer in my youth.
There is no problem with convergent evidence of various different measures correlating positively with general intelligence, which is also measured by IQ tests:

1. Reaction speed https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5608941/

2. Dendritic tree arborization, synaptic density, electrophysiological properties of pyramidal neurons https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6363383/

There is a problem with sophistry and competitive virtue signaling around these phenomena. Instead of ignoring biology we could as well embrace it.
I would suppose that maybe it turns into scar tissue of some sort, with maybe some regeneration of healthy lung cells? Maybe stem cells could be part of the post-treatment options after this type of procedure?

Fair enough. If the claim is that antitrust measures were in the long run ineffective, not that they were dishonestly pursued, you have solid ground to stand on.
Only if you can keep on doing it until you are old. A lot of people wear out their hips and knees before they can reap the benefits. Light exercise in the form of walking rather than running is a bit more sustainable and something you can keep on doing as long as you stay healthy. Cycling is similarly beneficial.
You really need two different palettes for white vs. black background if all the (other) colors are to be readable with good contrast on the respective background.

> Waah the big bad EU forced companies to disclose how they are using my data!

The people that should be mocked are the EU bureaucrats that thought this was a good idea and the people that defend it.

It's a idiotic legislation that does NOTHING to protect your data. It's feel-good nonsense that EU can occasionally use as a club to extort business corporations that they want something from.

The only thing that it accomplished is to create a false sense of security in the public.

These companies are not trustworthy and neither is the EU government.

The correct solution to this problem is at the browser level and at the human level. Don't disclose information to the internet you don't want to show up on the internet.
I'm curious, what are your thoughts on these neural net AI art generation tools like DallE and GPT? You seem to have strong opinions on what "legitimate" uses of electricity are, and they given that an entire economic ecosystem is apparently not legitimate, is making art?

Yes, I have toyed with this idea, it is after all almost exactly what I'm looking for. But ultimately rejected it for the reasons @horsawlarway stated. I guess I just don't trust Reddit.
I think we're seeing the culmination of a long-term trend of declining interest rates. Interest rates have been declining for 400 years, and have finally reached the point where they bottom out at 0. (or even negative interest rates, in European bank policy!).

The bad part of this I think, is that valuations of long-term cash flows start becoming more and more sensitive to rates. The difference between a 2.75% mortgage and a 3.75% mortgage is bigger, relatively, than the difference between a 3.75% mortgage and a 4.75% mortgage; because people buy the largest, longest mortgage they can afford, small changes in small interest rates result in large changes in the monthly payment. I feel like this ends up making the whole housing market more volatile.

Regulations haven't abolished any of that, they just pushed to China, where you still happily buy products from because they are so cheap.

First, the American experiment was to have a loosely coupled federation of states and to have spread power on the lower spheres of influence. That experiment has been abandoned for a while.

Second, the world should not not revolve around what American people and its government wants to do.

228w - total system draw with LG C1 off/standby

270w - #000000 fullscreen

332w - #FFFFFF fullscreen

270w-228w = 42w #000000 fullscreen power draw

332w-228w = 104w #FFFFFF fullscreen power draw

( 104w - 42w ) / 42w = 2.4761

so ~248% more power usage from the screen for full #FFFFFF.

One thing to note is I have the OLED pixel brightness set to 50/100 and the brightness set to 50/100. 2.2 Gamma, black level: full. The LG C1 has some auto brightness baked into the firmware and it fluctuates, I tried to measure it at full brightness but as you can see today it's at 62w over #000000 compared to before so there is some deviation. However, I think it's safe to say that darker colors do actually save substantial power on OLED displays. Plus the black levels really are just amazing. Black is actually black and not a weird grayish with backlight shining through like TN/IPS LCDs.

edit: formatting.

Answer: then you have lost access due to circumstances completely within your control. Contrast that with the amount of control you have over losing your account with a social company. IOW, that’s a total bullshit argument.
well it certainly won't be used to mine Ethereum anymore and if this is the trend we will see more "high volume" coins see dropping PoW even further.

Those pile of GPU are going to be a write off since prices are dropping and supply issue improves as well.

You're confused, in a ponzi earlier investors are paid from the investments of future investors. That's not how PoS works. In Ethereum, everyone is diluted to pay stakers and the time of their investment does not matter.
THIS. It's incredible how much stress some people are willing to endure by not having good free healthcare.
There's also increasing a lot of supply. Without building.

The biggest problem in the country is that investment capital is swooping in any buying any valuable property up and re-selling it for a lot more OR renting it out for a lot.

Because investment is just buying everything for cash, they don't really care.

We need a massive tax on investment property, something that'll require the house to become completely unaffordable to re-sell, so investing will have negative returns due to taxation.

Then suddenly a ton of houses will fly back on the market because investors will be trying to dump inventory.

ALSO property taxes can help: If you live in a house, your property tax is identical to today. If you don't, your property tax is say 10x'd.

Being a real-estate investor won't be very lucrative. Meanwhile this won't affect regular homebuyers since they won't have this tax.
