Yep, exactly.

My cognitive abilities at my actual age (mid 40s) improved significantly when I quit with my younger age lifestyle, much more than exercise could do.

Of course I'm not saying that exercise is futile it surely keeps the body healthy and that's extremely important as years go by.

the old saying "mens sana in corpore sano" ( a healthy mind in an healthy body) is still relevant today for a good reason.

My theory is that is not exercise per se, but the power drained by the excercise.

There's a good example about it in an episode of the BBC series Horizon where people are asked to solve simple arithmetic computations and then to do the same while walking at a fast pace.

All of the people involved need to stop to complete them.

The cognitive part of our brain is very power hungry and can't function properly when power is needed somewhere else.

I think that power drain from exercise can prevent becoming more and more risk adverse because it keeps us from over thinking things, the inner thoughts are mostly about negative outcomes (not specifically negative thoughts, just the outcome)

So theoretically we could gain the same benefits by tricking us into thinking about the positive outcomes.

I am not an expert in such matter, so take everything I say with many grains of salt.

p.s. I was walking when writing this and I had to stop to write something that made sense.
There is no universe where this is true. Not only are there verbatim clones of bitcoin, there are many variations with only tiny changes that have the exact same mechanics. Bitcoin at this point is unique because it was first and it is uniquely limited to the throughput of a dialup modem.

The Constitution was meant to give people rights and protections and it was clear in many places "should not infringe". Then people of all political colors started to walk the slippery slope of "we don not infringe, we regulate", eating away the Constitution meaning. Most US citizens that I know (only a few hundreds, but that gives a reasonable sample size) agree with most of these "regulations", about half of them even want to remove parts of the rights in the Constitution, so the protection that it provides is eroding every single day. Put on top of that invented concepts that don't exist in any law like qualified immunity and you are half on that slippery slope, building speed downwards.

For a long time I had an envy for US to have so clear rights by their Constitution. Boy, I was naive to believe they still exist. Context info: I was born and lived in Communist Eastern Europe, in my country there is practically no right by Constitution but to pay taxes.
The few times I've gotten feedback, were not exactly helpful.

I recently got feedback that I "didn't have enough experience working with other teams".

What I was actually asked in the interview was to tell a story about a time I'd worked with another team. Apparently that story wasn't good enough... somehow.
>When we as a society value a birthing mother more than a successful business person we will have more babies. It’s that simple.

This is what I mean. Not that each woman is explicitly evaluating all of those factors, but implicitly, they all culminate in an environment where a woman may or may not choose to have x number of children.
But (2) requires knowing everything the binary will do. You can’t know what something won’t do without knowing what it will do.
Hasn't crypto exploded in popularity exactly because of these centralized exchanges?
I guess to put a finer point on it: this isn't exclusively a market problem, and it's incorrect to reduce/redirect all forms of market manipulation down to 'rent control'.

Certainly rent control distorts the market unnaturally, but it does so in favor of tenants and human rights, and proportionally speaking, I don't think it's the biggest distortion by a long shot. The much larger distortion causing the market problems is the optimization of rent prices at the expense of human rights.

If the market is to be distorted, I personally would pick the one that prioritizes continuity of housing over the one that maximizes rent income over total units rented.
Appreciate the feedback.

Not sure what you mean by that, can you elaborate?

FWIW we are working to more tightly integrate code search into the code view.

And absolutely, performance matters a lot to us. Sorry for the slow experience, you're not the only one, particularly outside the US. Only thing I can say is we're working on it.
If an exchange isn't misappropriating customer funds, it doesn't matter if the bubble pops. They facilitate transactions and take a fee in return. As long as they have customers and don't blow money all over the place, they should be profitable.

Sure, if the signal was “we just want to get beaten up by the courts for trying to turn a regulatory agency into a lawless dictatorship”.

None of them are in primarily aimed, legally, at indivduals, regardless of wealth.

I don’t think a review of the actual enforcement record of any of those agencies supports that claim. Vonage, Harley-Davidson, Weber grills, Westinghouse outdoor power equipment, OpenDoor Labs—just to cite FTC enforcement actions in the last couple weeks—aren’t small actors.

My previous boss, who offered me a CTO position a couple years after having been hired as a freelancer, said the thing he appreciated from me the most was that I wasn't afraid to say "No, Paul. Let's not do that. Here's why."

Sometimes the boss has a bad idea, if you're the tech guy it is your responsibility to decide if it has legs or it's a waste of time. Many consultants say yes to anything because even wild-goose chases are billable. But honesty and integrity tend to pay off in the long run, IME.
If the E goes down substantially, is it an incredible opportunity?
That's basically a strawman.

Privacy conscious people are against mass surveillance, where everybody privacy is invaded by default, even if they've done nothing wrong and aren't suspicious.

Privacy as we had before technology that allowed such things is what such group desire. Is there someone suspected of a crime? Sure, tailgate them, follow them, etc. This manual surveillance has a cost and max throughput that makes it you cant mass surveil.

My dad pitched me this rating system months ago, I advised that it would be fairly game-able, my big points were that 1) look how easy it is to game reviews on almost any site, amazon, glassdoor, etc. 2) any enforceable credit system needs actual teeth, the reason that credit scores are useful to institutions is that there is the direct ability to reduce someones quality of life significantly using them, e.g. bad loans, can't get an apartment, etc. to me 2 seems to be the main reason a startup credit score rating doesn't work
It shouldn't matter how many people want to know who you are, the privacy part is the part that makes it harder for them to find out. You can be nosy and believe in privacy, and perhaps the awareness of your own tendencies to the former makes it easier to support the latter.

Python and Java have been implemented in Racket.

I believe implementing a subset of Python was also an assignment for some course.

There is `#lang c` for writing C programs in DrRacket but it uses the installed C compiler, rather than re-implementing C in Racket. https://docs.racket-lang.org/c/

That’s kind of my point. The things being done with cryptocurrency are mostly scams and failed schemes. Cryptocurrency can be used in this peer to peer way like you describe but virtually nobody does that. It’s too technical for 99% of users and meanwhile you have all these scams that have advertising budgets. Decentralization will never have a Super Bowl ad.
I’m a known walker at my office. Walking seems to be the simmering phase of my problem solving methodology. It’s typically not the place where I identify or complete issue resolution. However, it is the place where 85 to 90 percent of the solution is developed and rough-validated.

As far as I know, Shkreli and Belfort only affected a small number of investors in the US.

SBF operated in MANY jurisdictions worldwide, and had a (now embarrassing) association with government officials. It's likely more governments will go after him than the other two. It's possible his situation results in more prison time than even Do Kwon, founder of Luna/Terra.
If you don't support prohibiting fully electronic cash and don't support mass surveillance, I don't see why you would support a surveillance payment system that could only gain market adoption by the government banning its more private alternatives.

As to your second point, one may be inclined toward socialism, and so prefer a more fully government controlled, less corporate friendly brand of totalitarian mass-surveillance.
> I wonder if that is why there is such resistance to climate change among older people...

Responding to climate change in a meaningful way generally means making lifestyle choices that are responsible.

This would include driving a small car (instead of a SUV) and driving it at a fuel-efficient speed (not the maxiumum). This would include limiting reproduction. This would include not buying a new phone every n years. This would include buying more expensive, locally grown food. This would include voting for a party that is not about "jobs'n'growth" and "the economy" and "tax cuts for the rich" and one that is more about responding to the existential challenge.

Nobody wants that. They want their cars and phones and their lifestyle and their overseas holidays and their 20 grandkids. We are taught to want that.

The term of art is "capitalized labor." For example, this is from Microsoft's accounting policies:

> Costs incurred internally in researching and developing a computer software product are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers.

Then later

> The amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products.

Yes, yes it is unserious. Shopping malls aren't public squares, as several decades of US jurisprudence has ably established, and the collapse of shopping malls in the face of ecommerce amply demonstrates that the argument was silly to begin with.

So in this case, the project cost rise is born by MTR, rather than the government (aka tax payer) which would often be the case in North America. I think it would be much easier for public to back transit projects with setup such as this.

> Why don’t we have an HTML-based rich text standard yet?

> I have zero idea. In fact, we seem to be getting farther away from one as Markdown popularity surges.

> The other day I read a blog post by the folks at Mozilla - who are supposed to be the standard bearers of, um, web standards, and was truly shocked that they decided to convert all their documentation to Markdown last year. What?? In fact, they stopped using HTML in order to do it.

Yep, I am baffled by this too. Glad to see that I am not the only one !

I am aware of at least one document editor project that at least tries to have a working round trip conversion to HTML :

https://texmacs.org/tmweb/help/faq.en.html

(But I am afraid that it will never work as well as an editor that treats HTML as the first class document type...)

https://www.russellbeattie.com/notes/posts/the-decades-long-...

> But most importantly, since my goal was to replace Markdown as a simple, easily manageable rich text document format, trying to also tackle the bundling issue was besides the point. Markdown doesn't include files, doesn't care about them and will never have them. There's no reason for an HTML Document standard to deal with encapsulated files either, as essential as it might first seem.

> All that said, I'm sure someone, somewhere might wonder why my Hypertext editor doesn't have some sort of option to save as a zipped file format of some sort, I thought I'd share what I discovered reading up on the topic. Then maybe someone can get the W3C, Mozilla, Google and Apple to finally make up their minds and decide on a standard that we can use in the future. (I won't hold my breath.

Yeah, sigh...

Still, bundling is kind of essential - most documents will want to have at least some multimedia, and you generally do NOT want to have them get split into multiple files !

As you say I still don't understand why Firefox, instead of a separate folder for the non-HTML content, does not "throw a bunch of files into a zip and call it a day?", especially when ePub does that already !
Other languages like Smalltalk and Ada suffered from this as well.
So should soldered CPU always be judged for repairability too? It's also the same repairability/efficiency tradeoff against using socketed (desktop) CPU instead.

It's definitely nice. I've been trying to search for somewhere that sells fonts that can be used for web that aren't licensed by number of pageviews. I know there's free fonts, like Google Fonts, but I'm looking for something nicer that I can buy a reasonably priced site license for. For reference, the body copy on that site uses Miller Text, which would cost $4,000 for an unlimited pageview version. That would not even include the italicized version or multiple weights. Maybe I wouldn't need to worry about it for most projects, but I don't want a bill that can spike to $100s without notice based on however they calculate their pageviews.
You can even add turbocash to the mix lol
> Without Facebook we might have gotten a consumer version of the DK2 for $350, instead of the $600 CV1, and we might have spend two or three years doing VR with Xbox gamepad instead of having to spend an additional $200 on Touch controller.

I don't see how. The DK2 was a prototype wholly inadequate for and unscalable to the mass market. The CV1 was legitimately expensive for Oculus to manufacture; the only reason it became affordable to manufacture was because Facebook had the funds to hire people with experience in optimizing manufacturing processes and reducing Bill of Materials (BOM) cost for the parts. If memory serves, one of the people hired after acquisition was ex-Lenovo, with expertise in specifically that.

The exclusivity was also not solely Oculus's fault; the acquisition by Facebook stung Valve rather hard (much of their tech and many of their employees ended up going to Facebook) and I believe there was a bidirectional hesitation to engage. My recollection is that there was a willingness to offer compatibility, and some compatibility libraries implemented, but there didn't appear to be a serious commitment overall to invest further in cross-compatibility from either party than what was already available.

I think OpenXR was an evolution past that, but without much real-world usages of it, it kind of sucked for a long time.

> We don't have movies in VR

People watch movies in VR all the time. There's BigScreen, which is legit, and there's also movie worlds in VRChat, which fly under the radar but are really awesome for social co-watching experiences. Though I hear you and agree that the big companies are lagging a bit behind in exploring and implementing good VR experiences and producing VR content with mass appeal.
