By this logic, you can't even use the word "Aatma" without in every instance defining it down to the nines since you can't be sure at first, even in a context of two Indians talking to each other, that both of them understand it to mean exactly the same thing. But it doesn't stop there! You have to make sure that every word used to define Aatma is also defined with unfailing precision. And every word in this meta-definition, and then every word in the meta-meta-definition, and so on. Unfortunately it's an infinite regress. So it turns out that by these absolutely exacting standards, all communication is impossible. But here we are, chatting away, no doubt misunderstanding each other in some crucial manner.

To me the problem seems more that Rajiv Malhotra either doesn't understand what "translation" is supposed to mean, or pretends not to. The outsider-insider line doesn't stop at the boundaries of India (contemporary or historical, real or imaginary). It stops at every individual, and even there it's better to say at an individual as they are at a precise moment in their life when they know a certain set of things and hold a certain set of beliefs.

Either we’re all living in your dream (not terribly likely from my perspective) or you’ve stumbled upon one of life’s great joys: the so-called “delusion of reference”, a fun trick our minds like to play on us sometimes. Congrats on your unsettling coincidence :)
This is again, nonsensical. As I pointed out above, Bitcoin dropped about 30% from May to June. If the loan was overcollateralized by 30% before that 30% drop, then they'd have been able to liquidate without losses.

The equity is a loss, but that's not what I took issue is, which is your evidence free claim that there was a loss on the loan.

Of course if you assume continued exponential growth you will run into limits. The correct response to that is to not assume continued exponential growth indefinitely, since in the real world that never happens.

In actual real world systems, the growth curve is sigmoidal: it starts out with exponential growth, becomes linear, then asymptotically flattens as system constraints are approached. This is already happening with human population, and should be expected to start happening with other resource curves in the fairly near term. Any properly grounded analysis would look at the situation from this point of view.

Hi, I saw your comment about Bluetooth issues with your AirPods, and I wanted to let you know that I have been having great success using my AirPods after I swapped out Pulseaudio for Pipewire on my System76 lemur pro laptop running PopOS. I think Ubuntu is planning to migrate from Pulseaudio to Pipewire as the default sound server, but maybe they haven’t done it yet. Anyway, this might be something you want to try. I use them for zoom meetings 1-2 hours every day, and they are extremely reliable.

Jokes aside, even Scala proper sees itself as an experimental testing ground more than a complete idea realized. That's why dotty became Scala 3, with a huge amount of backtracking.

>The tool, called Augury, is developed by cybersecurity firm Team Cymru and bundles a massive amount of data together and makes it available to government and corporate customers as a paid service.

So they just bought the data? Why couldn't they just ... ask for it from NSA, for free? Is there some legal distinction here that prevents them from getting it from already-running government snooping activities? I suspect that's the case, and is probably the real story here ... DoD circumventing the spirit of some rule or regulation and buying the data direct from brokers.

Side note: it bugs me when articles about the military feature a stock photo of someone in uniform and the uniform is all sorts of wrong. Makes me skeptical of the accuracy in the rest of the reporting.
Their results of the simulations are stochastic. They discuss this in-depth, as it complicates their analysis.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Everyone agrees that the spread is stochastic. Why are you starting with a hypothetical misinterpreation of an R value to make a deterministic strawman? You think that their simulations were too deterministic because of their connectivity network?

When most cars have auto braking, you'll just see a new car, walk out, it will immediately stop and any car without tech in it will slam in to the back of the new car. So there will soon be no old cars left.
You're projecting use cases that weren't proposed.

The only purpose is to provide evidence of not being a bot. Not to log in or verify identity. You don't need a server or proof that a particular token is owned by a particular person, just a cert chain and a list of postcodes with current public keys. The post office has a private key. They sign a message saying 'the holder of this token walked into the store'. Let servers make whatever judgements they wish about the chain's credibility. If a particular key signs lots of bots then you know where to look for the source of the bot farm and the people that live there know where to look to fix their reputation.

What Are Some Things I Can Do to Encourage My City to Be More Bike Friendly
I have recently become obsessed with urbain planning and especially the idea of a bike friendly city. After a recent trip to 6 cities across the USA It became apparent to me that what many of our cities lack is good bike infrastructure and a car centric mentality. I see better bike infrastructure as a huge solution to many problems (assuming people adopt riding bikes as a "new" mode of transport). I would personally love to get rid of at least one of my two family cars if there where good bike infrastructure in my city.

So all that to preface my question... what are some actionable ways I can influence my city to build more bike friendly roads and infrastructure? Also how much of road design is designed by state/federal influences and how much control does a city have on the way roads are designed?

The ironic thing is that some of the earth's most fertile periods were associated with high levels of co2.

Because co2 reduces plant need for water, reduces desertification, and massively increases the food supply.

Given that solar power beaming is technologically feasible and practical, it is likely that the future will not be power limited like we are today.

It’s a whole separate instance of chromium running to support the one app vs one instance of your browser running all of your websites and apps.

What I don't understand is how that works from a conservation of mass perspective. The water can't be literally flowing down at every point and keep a stable surface. I assume it's something more complicated, right.
Absolutely agree. Having finished my PhD 7 years ago, now with a child of 4 years, more work does not work if you look at your life holistically. My strategies evolve around: Gradual, incremental, consistent and focused steps, instead of bold deadlines, weekend work, and trying to press in more. While having a family is great, I still want to deliver quality at work. In the past, weekend shifts have always resulting in quality deteriorating. Skip what is not necessary, decline what is impossible within the given time frame, ignore requests to deliver more in less. It will look as if your chances of staying employed decline, but the opposite was the case for me: People seem to expect that things cannot be done as fast as they wish and will trust you more, if you deliver consistently but slighlty beyond schedule.
I use DDG now but I wish the search tools weren't just last week, last month, last year but greater than a week/month/year so I could discard more recent results. It's quite the puzzle to find ways to remove things, as using the -search-term-I-don't-want or +term-I-do-want is increasingly less reliable, in my experience.
It would make sense to make the system possible to disable and then make speeding a much much more serious crime where unless you can prove it was an emergency or other edge case, you lose your license on first offense.

It seems so obvious to me now that the fundamental design decision in Nix/Guix (to encapsulate dependencies via a content-addressed store, to make only those specific dependencies visible to the dependent app or library, to express all of this declaratively somehow, and to basically treat the entire build process and in fact the entire system configuration like a pure function with a deterministic result) is the way forward.
Not to forget that 26 years ago, starting in 1996, we had Microsoft NetMeeting.

A very good VOIP / videoconferencing / white-boarding / application sharing client present on almost all Windows computers, open standards interoperable, with an official ActiveX Control and public API. You could easily embed it into your HTML site (IE compatible only), or drag and drop it into your Visual Basic / Delphi / Microsoft Office script application and thus effortlessly embed and control the functionality into your own website/application.

To get back at a higher level - I’m not attacking the JVM - a lot of my career had been using it to much success.

And the large benefits of wasm are still in the making/a bit unclear. In my original post, I question why this runtime is useful at all, as the jvm already does a lot of the same things.

However, GC by default is not in wasm right now, and that enables non-GC languages to be ported over, while it makes no sense to port those languages to the jvm. And a lot of the important stuff is written in those non-GC languages; game engines, gpu compute usage for AI, and others I probably don’t know.

The JVM is old ~ still good/great for backend server side things, but not great for fast startup (50ms is still 10,000’slower than wasmtime’s 5 micro second startup), non-gc stuff, and non-technical, impatient, end user browser stuff.

Hence worth the exploration - and if it means jvm being replaced 10 years later, so be it (maybe there’ll be a Java to wasm port + gc for wasm by then).

The author (from their previous post) is primarily interested in US vs Rest of World comparisons.

I don't think it's fair, but the reality is that companies pay what it costs, and in Europe there are fewer companies willing/able to pay high salaries, so they are lower.

The thing that would bring about this change is more companies being willing to hire remotely, particularly in places like Poland.

Why are fewer companies hiring and competing on salary in Poland/etc than other countries? I have no idea, but that is the real barrier to higher salaries.

I would say most of them exist now, not all though. Another misconception is that there's nothing "to show" for all this money yet, but they have been maintaining a playable alpha for years now and the development has been very open, detractors love to neglect the huge body of information that's available on the game's development to understand the situation better. It's one of the best multiplayer space games to play already, more content than some fully released games.
A high-speed galvo LASER (20,000mm/sec) with a proper vision system could track and sweep fast enough to obliterate a German cockroach in under a tenth of a second. One of those big 'waterbug' roaches would take about half a second. I operate one at 15,000mm/sec at work. It covers area RAPIDLY.
As we set up machines do the hard work for us, why not just have the machine scoop up the cockroach in a little box and store it to be freed later far away from the house?

Even if Tether is 90% backed (a wild supposition) - if there is a run on the bank - they don't have liquid assets, and they'd have to cash out at WAY less than 90%.

This is why banks can't be backed by 100% MBSes.

Tether will implode. It's just a matter of time.
Sure, but more lives doesn't mean a net increase in happiness. A trillion people who live in the edge of starvation are probably less happy overall than a few billion who are well fed.

Maybe not this prefabricated house, but in general it makes more sense to plop a trailer or something on your (large, inexpensive) property if it's way out and isolated, because it's harder to get materials and contractors to build a conventional house. Or you can build your house yourself; I know people who did that.
I don’t understand why people get so up in arms about Tether. They are obviously doing illegal/scammy things (fractional reserve, etc), so why don’t people just stop buying Tether because it’s obviously a terrible investment.

They’re not exactly killing puppies here, they are just lying about funny internet money. There are plenty of other more reputable stablecoins out there if you insist on holding onto stablecoins for whatever reason instead of US dollars themselves.

Usually when you ignore liars they eventually stop talking. Why can’t we just ignore Tether until it goes away?

It's not over till people start giving up and cashing out. Right now, the retail investors are still frantically buying the dip. It's just the smart money that is getting out while the getting is good.

Look: right now the S&P500 and the Dow are still twice where they were in 2016, and the Nasdaq is almost 3 times. Even after the recent drop. Do we have double the population we did in 2016? Double the resources? Double the technology? If not then why is the stock market twice as high?

My guess is, (and it's only a guess): the nasdaq will bottom out around 5000, the S&P somewhere around 2000. The Dow in the neighborhood of 15k. That's assuming there are no financial collapses like in 2008.

But it will take years to get there.

It's easier to think of a closed system and what the temperature of water vs. ice would be with just a phase change.

1 kg of ice turning into 1 kg of water requires 333,550 J.

1 kg of water require 4184 J to warm up 1 C.

So ignoring all the physical constraints, if you were to turn 1kg of ice "magically" into liquid water, keeping the total energy of the system the same, you'd end up with 1 kg of water at -80C (yes, I know I'm ignoring entropy).

An Introduction to Nix-Shell
> Oh and rather than putting focus on making the game actually playable

Do be cognizant though, this is one of the reasons why the game is taking so long to make. They have a split focus on getting the game done off in another build, whilst maintaining the playable alpha that hasn't got all the game systems they've built connected to it. Most games don't have a requirement to be a fully playable game during development. If something isn't working in a dev build, you just say "Hey, don't go there, it's broken in this build." But with the alpha, everyone expects a working game even though the whole codebase is constantly in flux.

We can just turn off the carbon sinks in that case, there's plenty of carbon around to grab off the ground. And release some methane if needed.
You’re at the wrong stage of the metaphor.

The Fed has actively purchased new bonds worth roughly 10% of its holdings from the open market each year just to keep the balance constant.

QE requires active support to remain in place.

Now the Fed is purchasing new bonds worth roughly 9% of its holdings each year, and like sure that’s less than max, but it’s still gross buying like $900bn of treasuries this year (instead of the $1tn it would’ve otherwise).

The problem that a lot of people have here is they think “well the treasury issues new bonds to make up for the bonds that mature,” which again, sure, but that’s an independent phenomenon from what the Fed is doing. Congress could balance the budget and that wouldn’t change what the fed is doing rn.

The truth is easily checkable. I wonder why you're saying stuff that's provably false.

For some time, the website read: “Every tether is always backed 1-to-1, by traditional currency held in our reserves.”

...

In February 2019, this text changed to: “Every tether is always 100% backed by our reserves, which include traditional currency and cash equivalents and, from time to time, may include other assets and receivables from loans made by Tether to third parties, which may include affiliated entities (collectively, ‘reserves’).”

I hope you understand that after the first statement, EVERYTIME they don't have 100% of the tether backed by currency is fraud. And it wouldn't matter if it was all there now in the same way an accountant is a criminal if they gamble with client funds even if they manage to put all money back before it's missed.
