My understanding is that the EA argument for cryptocurrency boils down obtaining the means to do the most good: they want to do the most good, and that requires financial resources. This allows them to justify just about any financial activity, so long as they can convince themselves that the long term utility of their behavior outweighs its downsides. Which gets us cryptocurrencies and oil company investments.

Yeah, that sounds like a nightmare.

if it was a mistake for ftx to avoid that, it was a mistake for all the other firms, yet the other firms did it like ftx. Probably all these other firms would have claimed they did standard risk management, yet so many have died, one after another.

So it's not satisfactory to say surely binance wouldn't do that, because it seems many of these companies were doing similar things but always claiming they were safe.
I mean I love your optimism, but there’s no way using current or even foreseeable technology for 8bn people to live the life they want to live.

Coal is bad because the aerosols, but it’s not like natural gas is that much better for the climate.

It strikes me that a company like Kagi should be able to craft a legally enforcable agreement with its customers which expressly forbids the company from selling ads and conducting surveillance.

The agreement could be carefully written by a skilled lawyer to define the things Kagi cannot do, the proof customers must present in order to proceed with a valid lawsuit, and even the maximum damages that the customer may sue for.

In that case, if Kagi was found at some point to be using customer data for these purposes, it could be sued very easily and by many parties.

People are calling for regulation for data privacy. In the meantime, Kagi can create its own regulation it will hold itself to for the benefit of its users, can it not?

Sorry, I misinterpreted your suggestion as, "This is not a novel idea, and you should watch how badly it goes when someone on this TV show tries the same thing."

I didn't insult you or your suggestion, though. I said I wasn't interested in the show and that it doesn't inform my understanding of the concept.

Why did that hurt your feelings enough to make insulting accusations about my personality and character?

Something I've always wondered about:

How about personalized pagerank search that assigns any URL I've bookmarked a high value for E?

Start by asking yourself what you like! Then dig into that. Don't consume passively, consume actively. When you see something that makes you feel joy, explore why. Explore what part of the thing you saw made something light up in you.

If this makes sense to you, you can explore Visa's writing. I used to neglect taste and aesthetics. I get that you're asking for purpose. But those are related. In order to find your purpose, you must know what you value, and what you like. Visa has an angle on taste that works for me.

Very naive . It just means that in addition to whatever google do with your data , they also charge you money on top of that . When people have power to do things to maximize their gains (selling u ads/ data in addition to charging u ) , expect that it will be done. It is the same in politics. Power corrupts.
You are a complicated character.
They make big money from marketplace sellers, and the size of the roadblock needed to stop creative overseas scammers would be large enough to dissuade most legitimate sellers.
Sometimes people have clearances and they speak vaguely to avoid literal jail. Consequences are high here.

When picking a git workflow, you should start with your system's and your team's requirements in mind. Don't just copy git-flow or GitHub's simplified version.

Not every team or system uses pull/merge requests at all. Some do pull requests to the development branch, and to master when releasing a new version.

In some teams, code review is the bottleneck, and a developer may have to create a new branch from a PR to keep developing while waiting for code review, then create a second PR that builds on top of the first.

This last workflow is the main reason why I'm opposed to squashing PRs. It just doesn't work.

Also, squashing my carefully composed commits with individual references to DevOps backlog items is insulting.
Rising profit margins only occur in two situations.

- the firm asks for more money
- people pay the price

That requires people with money prepared to pay the price and a lack of effective competition from other suppliers for that money.

Which this all shows is that firms mark up costs and try and get as much for their output as possible. What keeps prices down is that people can usually go elsewhere because there is excess capacity to supply. We lack supply capacity at present.

Inflation is therefore down to a lack of competition. The solution to that is to encourage more firms to start up, break up existing monopolies or forcibly create some.

So. Back to the question about NFTs and DNS, which is literally about trust: How do you handle domain squatters and legal disputes?

Oh wait. I know the answer to that: "Technology limitation, you don't get protections" and something about "engineering trade-offs".
Nope, I think you have sympathy and empathy confused.

I can sympathize with them because losing your arse sucks. Been there, done that.

I can't empathize with them as I've just never been in that situation, nor would I ever put myself in that situation. I've been on my arse before, but because of other things mostly out of my control. Investing in a scam after being advised not to is not the same thing.

Since Twitter is now a private company, its owners are free of the host of laws that publicly traded firms have to abide by.

Heh I just ran across this sort of thing yesterday. A 200+ page book on "how to delete a book from your kindle". Written by an apparently very prominent author with over 100 reviews that are all verified purchases. Some of them actually reference the "content" of this supposed book.

My technique to avoid fraudulent products on Amazon: click on the seller ("Sold by mucaoxikeji") which reveals... "No feedback yet - NEW SELLER" Done ! Only took 2 seconds. It's very simple: I never buy from new sellers, or from those with too few reviews (<100). You do this and honestly you avoid 99% of fraudulent products. The 1% that can hit you is cases where for example counterfeit items end up in commingled inventory, which is quite rare in my personal experience. It happened only twice—that I know of—despite spending easily $20-30k/year at Amazon.
Proust’s Pinks
The other most interesting part of the book (while certainly dated), is the citations to see what came before and more material on it.

Weinberg, Gerald M. The Psychology of Computer Programming (New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1971)
Dunn, Robert H. Software Quality: Concepts and Plans (Englewood Cliffs: Prentice Hall, 1990)
Christenson, D. A. et al, "Statistical Methods Applied to Software", collected in Schulmeyer, G. Gordon & McManus, James I. Total Quality Management for Software (New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1992)

(and so on)

And while one can certainly debate the "is the advice given in something that is 30 or 50 years old still valid" - that debate itself is interesting in considering what was going on in the minds of managers back then and how they tried to solve these problems.

There is a certain lack of institutional knowledge and a desire to throw much of it away with the phrase "we're agile" or some other management buzzword of the day... and yet Brook's Law is still as valid today as it was nearly five decades ago (gotta keep an eye on that... I wonder if they'll do a third edition in 2025).
AirPods look stupid, but here we are.
I think there’s fair reason to believe that VR is compelling, simply from personal experience the imagination runs wild the first time you try the quest or similar. Not sure why there’s so much confusion about the promise of meta vr. I cannot imagine a future where desk based workers aren’t using VR.
Clearly not, and if we look at who enacted the NSA and current events of stifling speech we have a clear answer.
Seriously, this situation is so rare that it was posted on HN. If this was a common experience, nobody would give a shit.

This posting is obviously fake and anybody that orders this device kinda deserves to be scammed (not really, nobody deserves that, but still... c'mon).

Nothing that I'm aware of. In general I think that most of the current "longtermist" organizations are useless - but that doesn't mean they're incorrect.
Well, it's probably a desire for those things. The problem is that the solution doesn't exist, not that giving a valid solution would be bad.

Mocking a global function in that manner is a poor solution.

Two better options:

1. If you are testing that the proper Request is built from your config, and that's hairy logic you want to test, pull that logic out as as a pure function (config => Request) and test that.

2. If you really want to test "through" the current function, explicitly make the fetch function one of its dependencies, passed in as an argument, with a default value of "window.fetch" which is used in production. Now you can keep your current approach but what you are doing is explicit, and requires no global object overrides for your tests.
> The model employed by artists in the West, in collusion with collectors, was to create an artificial scarcity of their own products on the market. Thus they introduced editions that gained in importance with the appearance of video art, and the same model is being attempted in the realm of digital art. Having made an arrangement with agents and galleries, artists would limit the number of copies of their works (for example, by setting the limit at 10 original copies), and sometimes they would even establish a hierarchy among the limited number of copies. A certain number of copies would be signed by the artist, and they would command a higher price, usually being fewer in number than the unsigned ones. During the Golden Age of video art, that is, in the 1980s, there was almost a consensus in the mainstream art circles to the effect that the existence of an illegal copy was tantamount to a criminal offence, even though it was easier than ever to copy a video cassette. An artificial scarcity was sometimes created by limiting the number of screenings, so that a given video work was limited to, for example, 10 screenings in the whole world during a calendar year.

"Unless there's some bread cartel/oligopoly, a bread seller can't just increase prices"

They can. Where else are you going to go? Due to lockdown the excess supply capacity that allows everybody in aggregate to leave supplier A and go to supplier B isn't there. Supplier B can't supply everybody and people don't want to or can't go without. Therefore Supplier A will sell their output at whatever price they decide.

For competition to work the turnover curve on the price/sales volume graph has to be leptokurtic. It isn't at present. Price can be pushed way up before volume is affected.
If we can get proper 3d content for VR that would be incredible. One of the NBA Finals in like 2017 announced a VR viewing experience. Imagine my extreme disappointment when it was just the regular ESPN video on a virtual TV in a virtual room with a virtual couch. I would pay some pretty significant money for a sideline VR camera view at certain sports. Imagine being "at" the superbowl but also having access to your own bathroom and snacks.

OP struggles with XPaths in complex DOMs. This is a solved problem. Use Helium [1] to write test code that acts on what the user sees:

start_chrome('github.com/login')
write('user', into='Username')
write('pw', into='Password')
click('Sign in')

I am the author of Helium. It's a wrapper around Selenium. It's fully open source. Under the hood, it uses Selenium 3, which is old. But boy does it work beautifully.

NT4 didn't allow DMA to video RAM, which is why it was almost useless for video applications and a bunch of earlier emulators and such.
x86 is worse because you can jump into the middle of instructions. In that case you just fall back to JIT though.

The toy model is the idea that a bank gets deposit from one customer and loans it to another. This is not how it works. If you go to a bank for a loan, they do a risk assessment of you, and then make some marks on a ledger. As a result of this, new money appears in your account.

But - what stops banks from creating infinite money? There is a byzantine system of rules laid out by the Basel Accords and national regulators within that. That system limits the activities a bank can conduct, lays out rules for the way it must go about business it can conduct, and sets capital requirements.

There is nothing close to a full reserve and the system is not defined in those terms. Rather, there are ratios. If you have so many AAA rated treasuries posted with your central bank, then you can grow your balance sheet by X. But for B rated investments, you can only grow your balance sheet by Y. When a commercial bank issues a loan, it literally creates money.
> You can absolutely find a buyer instantly! At about the same price it traded for five minutes ago! Just not at the price you need it to be.

There is a saying, an armed society is a polite society.

I have no idea where you came up with "Many is civil war". Quite the opposite. Civil war erupts when one entity has a monopoly on violence and enough people decide that they've had quite enough of that, thank you very much.
Traveling is cheaper in EU simply because more interesting stuff is very close, flights are crazy cheap (usually you can find flights under 100 USD both-ways inside EU), and you can do it a lot while being paid (20-30 days of paid vacations per year in most countries).

Retirement/healthcare and education is paid by taxes already in most countries so there's less things to save for. Also cars are optional and distances are smaller.

I agree about the rest (but I wouldn't want to live in US anyway, no amount of money can buy you a walkable city or safety for your kids).
There's a wide spectrum of 'scam' products on Amazon. The obvious scams, like this, are quickly spotted, but there are other less obvious situations where people may get subpar items and most don't even realize it.

Things like: items sold as new which technically aren't, gray market imports, modified items, quality fakes, items that aren't fake but are misrepresentative of another item, etc. These are all over Amazon, and other marketplaces.
That’s a good point, but they could have done that regardless of having ownership, no?
The clients and network have state. If you kill every service, and set everything up from scratch, your users are probably seeing an error message. Their connections all died and the retries failed while you were spinning up the new version of things.
Determine what you care about. Bodybuilding isn't necessarily healthy nor will it make you more "flexible".

I would suggest finding a local Crossfit box (gym)[0] or USA Weightlifting Club[1]. Crossfit gets a lot of hate but it is very effective for developing all around cardiovascular capability, strength, mobility, and fitness provided you do it right. (Olympic) Weightlifting will also develop strength and mobility but there isn't as much or any focus on cardio conditioning. Gymnastics is very effective but there aren't many gymnastics clubs catering to adults.

You will be exposed to proper nutrition, recovery, training concepts, and community at good Crossfit boxes and USAW clubs.

Your error was in presuming the same weight and drag coefficient as the Tesla. The Aptera is both much lighter and has a far lower drag coefficient. That's where the extra range comes from despite the relative lack of surface area.

This email makes such a bold assumption - that VR will play out like a repeat of smartphones. Or that some "next big platform" will. Is that guaranteed? Cars, houses, aircraft, boats, bicycles - all have mostly kept their basic form factors for decades, once developed and optimized.

I'm dubious that VR will ever be much more than a game platform. Certainly not a substitute for physical life.

Things you can't do in VR:

- have a normal tactile response to objects

- feel the acceleration of a vehicle

- feel the warmth of a fire

- eat a good meal

- eat a good meal with friends

- buy a coffee and get a buzz

- enjoy the smell of caramelizing onions

- get a lifesaving surgery

- have sex

- feel a comforting arm on your shoulder

- do something intricate with your hands and fingers, like carving something into a piece of wood with a nail; even picking up the nail in VR will be hard, let alone the subtle movements, grips and holds, and tactile feedback we take for granted

- experience nature, animals, ecosystems, and interact with them (as they really are, not cutesy programmed versions)
> This is why tech companies keep pivoting to ads

The reason they advertise is because they can. It doesn't matter how much money they're making now, they can always make more by advertising. Paying money just makes your attention more valuable. The only way to stop them is to make it impossible or illegal to advertise. Blocking ads everywhere and making no exceptions.
