OP didn't say there were no goods as fungible, they said few. Fossil fuels can be more fungible without them being wrong.

Arguably, "fossil fuels" are not as fungible as electricity anyway. I can take electricity from any outlet and, with the right adapter, use it to power any electric appliance. I cannot take gasoline intended for my car and use it in a grill, or in the furnace, or in a jet, no matter what equipment I buy.
nope. GC is thanks to John McCarthy, himself, when he invented LISP around 1959.
I’ve noticed the same. New iPhones would always look better in the past up until the iPhone 8/X.

I find that the camera of iPhone 8/X looks better than that of iPhone 7. But iPhone XS looks worse to me due to overprocessing, and every iteration after processes more. :(

I just really like the night mode that computational photography brings in, but in every other area it’s a poison pill we’re forced to swallow.
I use it every day to edit my photos, and create/edit images, things it does well. Thank you.
The fact that I can build upon CryptoKitties with no obstacle. If CryptoKitties was on a private database I would need to get access to their API and also trust them with the ownership/management of the assets. Now I can just build it on the blockchain and have people destroy CryptoKitties in my smart contract to get benefits in my game. No API functionality or permission from CryptoKitties needed.
Besides the recurring revenue, SaaS is also a lock-in device, you can surveil your users to find new ways to make money off 'em, and many people are more apt to pay $10/month because they figure they can cancel it at any time. All of this is more attractive to venture capitalists than the JetBrains model.
Do you have more context for why you expect it to be lower?
Basically now, thanks to the legislation, the client has the power to force a legitimate business into employment.

But clients always had the option to do that. They could just decide not to work with contractors and only hire permanent staff instead. In fact that is the alternative that many of the biggest companies apparently decided to choose after the IR35 changes came into effect instead of adopting some kind of blanket umbrella policy. At least those ones were honest about their new strategy!

That's not true.

I've been harmed by HMRC mistakes and dodgy policies several times both personally and professionally. It's difficult when you're the one being messed around but you have to remember it's probably not personal. HMRC is a vast organisation implementing an insanely complicated set of rules that even its own staff don't always understand. It has nothing like the amount of resources it would need to credibly pursue a lot of the people who really are trying to rip off the tax man and by extension the public. It is sometimes like a wild animal - just acting on instinct - or in this case on standard procedures that lack the nuance they really need because there's nobody and no budget to do better.

Even so my personal experience has been that almost everyone I've actually spoken to who works at HMRC is at least reasonably neutral and professional. Some of them really will go out of their way to try and get a fair resolution if something has gone wrong and they become aware of it. In the situations I've been involved with personally we have always so far ended up with the right money in the right places and no lasting harm done even though sometimes it took far longer than it should have to reach that point.

And again if the policies HMRC is enforcing really are broken and someone who should be treated as a victim really is being seen as a tax dodger they really should contact their MP. Maybe the current rules actually are bad in this scenario and in that case until someone draws attention to the problem no-one is going to try to fix it.
I reluctantly moved on to Affinity Designer. I still miss Fireworks but I knew I had to get off it cold turkey.
so much ad hominem in these comments, relatively little substance. (eg “notorious goal post move, without a single example of something i actually said and changed my mind on)
I'm not sure I agree with your logic. A good journalist does their due diligence, which includes giving the company an opportunity to respond.
What single currency allows you to buy peanuts in Bucharest and popcorn in Djibouti right now? (You seem to believe the US dollar for some reason)
I can’t speak for everyone, but I’ve never in my 50+-year-life had someone express in American English “and” while referring to a decimal point.

(Update: unless the units were expressed after the following number, like 5 dollars and 13 cents, which still wouldn’t express a decimal point.)
I'm an Eth fanboy and I find this take hyperbolic. It's programmable money and often a security nightmare. In order for smart contracts to replace paper contracts in the way you describe, every participant needs to be a software engineer that can audit the code.
This comment makes no sense. If it was some random alpha release of Godot (there have been more than a dozen) then sure, but this is the first beta release, which means it's now somewhat stable. That's a big deal, considering how much rewriting as been going on.
Early pandemic I was playing around with making a network shooter in godot but I got hung up on a good way to make a shared lib for the client/server "projects". Anyone solve that or have tips? It seemed like I either needed to make a mono repo and toggle the build for client=true but I really wanted to make 3 repos, client, server, and game-core-lib. Would love tips/guides if you have them!
> Now, I am concerned that a significant change in velocity/volume like this is going to set off a flag with Stripe, and I fear that my Stripe account will get nuked, kill the launch, all the momentum I've been building, my reputation, and all my regular business to boot -- if I lose access to Stripe I lose a very significant portion of my business. Even if its just for a couple weeks while I'm "being reviewed".

I'm not going to defend Stripe as I've had my fair share of frustration with them, unfortunately they are the best game in town that I can see [0]. I can comment on change in velocity/volume on the Stripe platform. I've gone from testing amounts of traffic (so <$100/mo or so), to $500-$2000/day for 2-3 months, to $20K-$40K/day for 2-3 days, to then $100K+ for 1-2 days, then back to $0-100 for ~9 months, rinse and repeat (it's software for festivals). I did all of that without needing to pre-clear anything with Stripe and without issue.

Maybe the semi-gradual ramp-up kept me under detection levels (though I was a little worried about the $20K+ days as it was 10x+ normal) but I wanted to provide a data point to you.

[0] I'm open to other options but before you comment know that the following is what I consider baseline: iOS/Android/Web SDKs that support Credit/Debit/Apple Pay/Google Pay, same or better rates as Stripe, decent docs/api, decent dashboard. I've tried alternatives and their docs are a mess, their API is confusing, their dashboards are dated/broken, their support is somehow worse than Stripe, and sometimes you find out one of their SDK's just doesn't support Credit, Debit, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Also I need in-person hardware support (bluetooth connection to a phone/table, not wifi, not ethernet), ideally paying in-person would result in lower rates.

True. The latest financial report from Visa [1] says 164.7B transactions in 2021, or ~5,000 per second. This number is 3x larger! Mastercard is slightly smaller, but comparable at 140B [2].

This is mostly just an angry rant, yes, but equally it is just true. Marcus is intellectually dishonest.
One of things I noticed is the satire, call backs to common news/ideas can really trip up any AI. Also if you ask it about anything politics, ask it to describe both sides of an argument. Thus why people fall back to the steelman cherry picking of responses to push their arguments.
Can we update the title to say Free trial? The minimum tier is still $40/month (though that is a huge improvement and makes this a reasonable option for startups).

Was really hoping for something that could scale to zero. Better than no change!
Yes, exactly. I would think that reversing charges raises a flag with whatever payment processor or bank that sees it.
You would think lump sum is better. Monetizing sooner means you can put that money into other investments sooner that will generate greater return for you overall than having it dripped out to you at a fixed schedule.
Previously there was speculation that humans may have contributed to Sahara desertification, e.g. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/what-really-tu...
Isn't it interesting that as soon as one suggests Swedes are indigenous, i.e. have the same claim to their lands and cultures that peoples usually referred to as "indigenous" by the media have, suddenly the conversation turns extremely technical and only the most rigorous, water-tight definitions will do.

This never seems to happen if one would say that the Dakota Indians are "indigenous" - one wouldn't ask "well how precisely can you define a Dakota compared to some other Sioux tribe? Exactly which regions are they indigenous to? They migrated and intermarried a lot - what about half-Dakota? How long, precisely, do they have to have inhabited an area before they can be called indigenous to it?"

No, such rigor is demanded only when the wrong people try to claim they have a homeland or identity.
More accurately it can be described as a digital trading card game built on Ethereum.
The reversal was not great, but also just a one time thing that still required the concensus of many entities and widespread code change and deployment distributed across countless nodes. If it was a bad call then it wouldn't have been adopted or would have forked the network in a more serious fashion than ETC. If reversals a regular occurance, then ETH would not be trusted and it would lose traction. It's like comparing an asteroid strike with a car accident. The DAO reversal is a single event and says almost nothing about the general reversibility of individual small transactions. Future reversals are very unlikely now and would have to be some huge event and gather concensus like any other change to the protocol.

A singular huge change is just not comparable to credit card chargebacks that can be executed by anyone. Not comparable at all. Chargebacks are part of the CC protocol. Eth has no such mechanism.
If you had an idea that attracted investor interest, convinced engineers to forego BigTech compensation and created a product that people wanted, I am sure your opinion would matter a lot more.

And as a counterpoint, if you use a well-chosen deterministic sequence, it can make some Monte Carlo methods produce better results faster than true randomness would (quasirandom sequences and all that).

So, interestingly, "bad randomness" =/= deterministic.

(not that you were claiming that, just adding this subtlety to the mix)
Yes, and by the time displays were able to reproduce colors with any reasonable fidelity, every sensible application changed those codes to represent some color that reflected what a person would see on a bad monitor.

The author is just using a terminal with non-sensible defaults (on way more things than color palette), but tries to pin the flaw into everything else (from nethack to our eyes), instead of putty.
You can trade them, or breed them with other cryptokitties.
When you say "isolated env", do you mean specifically python version + libs?

Tell that to Adobe who disagrees with you to the order of 20 billion dollars.
It's bullshit. Anyone with experience testing things in this area is 100% gonna try a real card at least after any major changes (and certainly before a launch of a new product). You aren't actually sure it's right (and so, with something so entirely connected to revenue, can't go the fuck to sleep) until a real charge has gone through.

They probably mainly just don't want people running shitloads of automated-test charges and issuing refunds for all of them. It may technically be against the TOS but there's no way they actually care if you run the occasional real-credentials test, especially if you don't refund it.
> You just wrote that trust is thanks to judicial system and that's what GP countered based on personal experience.

I think both jollybean and I are drawing a distinction between traditional societies where high trust primarily exists within smaller communities, and industrial societies where trust operates at scale. I don't disagree with jollybean regarding how trust operates within smaller traditional communities.

My point was that at the level of industrial societies with millions of people doing business with each other, high trust is maintained largely because of the existence and functioning of the judicial system, not due to some unique personality characteristic of the individuals living in that society. Smart contracts can serve a similar functional purpose in societies where ordinary people do not have access to a functioning judicial system.

> And the opposite is true too, if cheating is not penalized if it was due to a maliciously crafted smart contract (because smart contact would be king) then I sure am going to trust everyone and everything much less.

Certainly trust would work differently in an economic system that is mediated primarily by smart contracts. Do not forget, though, that you currently have the advantage of living in a society which has a functioning and accessible judicial system. Your level of trust is already very high. People who live in societies that don't have the same advantages are starting at a lower trust threshold.

Using imperfect smart contracts to mediate commercial transactions might be a step down for you. For other people, waiting for a perfect system does nothing but stop them from improving things right now.

One problem I see with many many parents, usually the smarter ones, is desperate need to have 100% control. To know 100% what to do, how to react, understand everything. Failure rate should be 0%, since then you are a failure as parent, human and so on. Like parenthood is some github project that can always have 100% test coverage and predictable behavior.

The concept of 'science doesnt know yet', 'everybody is unique so this may not be valid for your child' is a sign of incompetence from the doctor, so they just keep searching for one that will sound more confident.

In all this, emotions take the steering wheel. And emotions only are bad advice giver in any topic.

What you describe is something we with my wife have known and heard continuously from every doctor ever involved with our children. Dont stress out if its behind average curve in this or that. Sometimes they behave completely out of boundaries. If they sleep more/less so be it, there is a reason for that and no I can't tell you what it is.

I get the emotion of wanting the best and normal for a child damn too well, but real chaotic life happens and some folks cant grok that. One can see it in this thread so damn well - people having their pet theories, ignoring current science level, being damn sure their opinions are the correct ones. Instead of patiently admitting that we dont know yet, there are some theories and some findings but thats it.

PoW is PoS, it just has some extra steps that have the minor side effect of using huge amount of resources for no reason.
> Unless you're using a plugin like Stripe's for every processor, quickly doing a request to your processor directly in the user's browser and submitting each of the tokens to yourself, doing this would require you to at least accept and transmit credit cards yourself, not sending the consumer onto the processor's site to fill it out. You are now transmitting credit card data yourself, which means you'll have to go through the PCI Compliance process. It's a self-assessment, and you can skip a lot of steps if you're at least not storing the card number (which you probably should not), but it still a bit of an arduous process. No one's going to check you on this unless there's some sort of breach, but you should still definitely do it.

This is the biggest hurdle to tokenizing at multiple providers by far. As soon as you actually "touch" that credit card number (not Stripe/etc's SDK or iFrame) everything changes. Also the PCI Compliance process is a bitch and a half and is confusing as fuck. For me it was a janky web-app form that was not clear and lead to me answering wrong multiple times then being very confused at the questions it was asking me (I had to call in and their support knew the pitfalls and were able to steer me back but the instructions/question-wording is terrible).

I think you got that wrong; Scott wrote the terms. (He wrote the comment [1] with those rules.) Someone in the comments agreed to them.

Then he changed the terms because Imagen won't do people. I think that's cheating.

Fyi, free article but requires login.
I agree with that. I used to be one of VERY, VERY few drivers that ever when straight at a certain intersection with a left turn only lane, and a straight and right turn lane. The other direction was bigger, and there was a relatively long wait for the light to change once a vehicle detection was triggered. I always felt bad for the people behind me because I was blocking from making a right on red.

It would have been so much better if it was a right only, and straight+left lane.

There is of course an exception to this. If there is a protected left turn cycle, then the left turn lane needs to be its own lane, but that was not the case at the intersection in question.
> So you give Biden 10.0, Trump 0.0, and for Romney, say 1.0. It's possible your 1.0 vote gives Romney the election. Now, if only Biden and Romney ran, you'd have given 10.0 and 0.0 respectively. So Romney gains by having Trump run despite no change in the ordinal preference.

In an ordinal perspective Romney would have a larger edge because you've given a higher weight to him. You have to think about the embedding process and how much information is lost through that embedding.

You're also only looking from the democratic viewpoint. Flipping this matters too because you have a potential favorite betrayer (Romney v Trump). Something Ordinal systems aren't good at handling. In a plurality voting those three could make an advantage for Biden because Romeny takes votes from Trump (and vise versa). In ordinal we have a similar but less severe problem because people will be placing their order strategically rather than preferentially. Even preferentially you are still embedding a decently high preference for Biden despite the fact you'd give him a 0 in Cardinal.

See it this way. You could vote Trump 10, Romney 9, Biden 0. (or any variation). This indicates a strong preference of republicans over democrats. In an ordinal system you'd have to preference Trump > Romney > Biden for the same ballot. This does not express this large preferential difference. You've lost a lot of information through this embedding process. You maintain the order but you lost the degree of preference. There's no reason to drop this information.
The assumption is that some absolute modicum of small talk occurs, and the moment you slip up and mention shoveling snow in summer the jig is up.

The Prisma Query Engine is indeed written in Rust :D
IIRC it was just architecture quirk of those chips as initally they were designed as basically fancy accelerators to be used with already existing systems

> VideoCore chips can run complete applications - they are not simply video DSP chips that require a separate processor to supply and collect data. In practice though, they are often used like simple accelerators, as companies usually prefer to cautiously assimilate new technology rather than take a big risk in porting a large amount of application code from an existing ARM-based design.

For example one of earlier ones was used as GPU for Nokia N8

There are other examples that are much worse for French learners! In _fils_ (son) the _l_ is mute, but the _s_ is pronounced. In _août_ (August), tha _a_ is mute. In _tous_ (all, plural) the _s_ can be mute or not, depending on the sentence. And in _oeuf_ (egg) the f is pronounced, but in the plural _oeufs_ it isn't! A special mention to _Monsieur_ (Mister), which is pronounced as if it was written _Messieur_.
