> We know from observing reality that even buggy software is better than no software – a software so buggy it adds negative value is a rare exception. So I guess it has to be "sub-linear", otherwise software wouldn't have economies of scale.

Your logic is flawed here. First, software has economies of scale because it's easy to produce the second copy of a program once you have the first one. It has nothing to do with lines of code.

Second, buggy software being better than no software would still be true even if bugs were super-linear in the number of lines of code.

I'm pretty sure that bugs aren't sub-linear. As you pile on more and more lines of code, the number of bugs per thousand lines goes down? The code gets better as you create more and more of it? Experientially, no.

I think it's super-linear, for a couple of reasons. First, the bigger the program, the bigger the team. The bigger the team, the more below-average coders on it. Second, the bigger the program, the more room for weird interactions between obscure conditions.

No, it's definitely not sub-linear. Bugs per line of code do not decrease as you have more lines. I suspect it's

>If they are owned by Bitfinex can they not front-run the Bitfinex order book to guarantee their stops will hit their target? They know the bitfinex order depth for every asset so they can for example buy into bitcoin and then calculate exactly when they must get out.

This makes no sense to me. Can you rephrase/elaborate what you mean by this?
Modern computers can easily mutate text thousands of times a second. Think about what a browser does instantly when you load a page.

Also what would you need a database for? Why not write to a text file?
The risk that Tesla sues over patent infringement stands alone of any tit-for-tat infringement. Realistically, it's much more likely Tesla will just sue for $ rather than try and make a counterfeit of an infringer's product. No sane counsel would let their company knowingly and openly infringe on major patents like this.

The spec being open put up on a website does practically nothing. Patent's are public and it'd be trivial to reverse engineer a charging standard anyway.
It is open. You can run your own DNS server and create your own GTLDs. Might not get a valid cert, but then you can also add your own root cert to your devices and everything will work just fine.

It's the "all of the major browsers, OSes and DNS resolvers should comply" part that's the hard part

> Now the only real way to force all these people to use a single blockchain and make them follow normal accounting procedures would be to pass a law making them do it.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone put you up to coming here and writing all this, so you can go back and claim something like "I ran this by lots of smart people and they agree the only way is to pass a law", and then use this to back some legislation.
Isn't the recommended B12 dosage per day like 4 micrograms?

Less than 1.5 milligrams in a year.

Looking at the cost of Cyanocobalamin, it appears to be around $1000/kg.

Complete B12 supplementation is going to set you back literally 0.1 cents per year. All B12 you'll ever take in your whole life is not even worth 10 measly cents.

Just some supplement for thought to consider before changing your diet for that.

"Cultural influences such as Christmas creep may have led to the winter season being perceived as beginning earlier in recent years"

I think I've always considered November to be winter, and at some point I picked up that Christmas is in the middle/even towards the end to break it up and give everyone something to look forward to, so I'm always a bit surprised seeing talk of winter in the future tense once I've put on the winter duvet/started wearing a coat all the time/turned on the central heating (not this year).

Equally anything in Feb seems firmly Spring.

But I'm not trying to force this on anyone!

The initial goal was to try to remove the artificial scarcity and value of .com domains by opening up the field.

This would also avoid the onslaught of startups with weird spellings of uncommon words because everything is being squatted.

It would also permit per tld rules. For instance, you could require someone looking for say .salon to submit documentation showing they're a salon. So then sassysalon.com may be $15,000 but sassy.salon requires documentation that you're doing salon business and it's $10 because someone can't just squat on 10,000 of them and then auction it off.

Noble goal and things like this are a consequence of it.

It's fine

You are not in competition - you are both tiny versus the size of the market, and can work together to grow the amount of offers, thus lowering the overall price.
Crypto doesn’t do anything there’s no productive asset. Literally every dollar coming out is a subset of the dollars that went in.

It’s less than that even due to electric bills and all that.

Contrast that to a productive asset, like a farm. You start with land and put dollars in and you get food. And you still have the land. There’s more food than there was before.

Or if you’re one of those Elon worshippers, he starts with rocky ore and seawater or whatever and ends up with lithium battery packs.

So with that established, when you see this guy running around spending hundreds of millions of dollars the next question has to be whose dollars were those. Because they don’t have them any more and they ain’t getting them back.

I would counter that if you are at a networking function with your customers that you should consider yourself the face of your company and act accordingly.

Yes, Shuron invented the classic "browline" frame and that's why Shuron Ronsirs are what Hollywood used for frames in "JFK" and "Malcolm X". Pretty sure they also invented the "cat's eye" style frames for women, too.

How I think it should work: associate with each file descriptor (or should I say file handle / struct file) a “buffering” state, initially blank, with IOCTLs to get/set it. In the stdio implementation, call the get IOCTL at startup on stdin/stdout/stderr, and also on any fdopen. If get IOCTL returns non-blank buffering settings, stdio adopts them for the FILE* pointing to that fd.

Advantages: No mucking around with LD_PRELOAD and associated security-related restrictions. Even works for static binaries, so long as they are linked with a stdio which supports this feature (and running under a kernel with that IOCTL).

(Actually, I was thinking you could even have an IOCTL to get/set arbitrary metadata attributes on a file handle - unlike xattrs, this would only be for each opening of the file, not the file on disk. As well as controlling stdio buffering, one can imagine other potential uses - for example, content type negotiation in pipelines.)

"The customer is always right" is better read as, "Sell the customer what they want to buy (if you can)".

That doesn't mean the customer gets to mistreat or assault your employees over the proximity of pickles to their hamburger patty when it was being cooked, but that if enough customers ask for more meat on their burger then you should offer a double or triple patty option.

A bigger team doesn't create buggy software because it contains below average coders.

No. I ended up with a rare metabolic disorder that reacts very poorly with lack of sleep or even skipping meals and, as such, decided the usual hazing rituals associated with med school would be a very poor idea. Ironically, I ended up diagnosing the disorder looong before the M.D.s would consider it and had to twist their collective arms for the tests, so it isn't like I wouldn't have been a good fit in a diagnostic aspect.
that wouldn't be scalable or cloud-native. you need to deploy the KVM VMs that run the docker containers with k8s.

You can do something similar with images, pull them into a data string then fuck with a random bit in a character in the list using JavaScript. The interesting thing is how different image formats handle corruption. I find PNG the most lycergic.
FTX’s lending product was (theoretically) peer-to-peer, the rates were driven by actual borrow demand from other people.

FTX was just a tremendously better derivatives exchange than everybody else when it was launched. To this day only Okex of the major exchanges has a competitive margin system imo. Continuous pnl realization and cleaner perpetual models are icing on the cake.

Theft of user funds aside, SBF likely knows more about derivatives and trading them than most exchange operators and it shows in the design of the exchange.

Most probably. Web searching for that Caroline Ellison young lady I found some articles describing her as a young math prodigy when she was in highschool (or something like that).
That's not what i recall the 2001 paper saying.

Iirc, it said if you pick a software complexity measure that it does not do a much better job than just simple lines of code.

Back in those days, metrics were real and were used to try to help create and maintain software code quality.

For instance there were some groups that would not allow code that had a McCabe cyclomatic complexity greater than x to survive. Course the easy way to skirt that is to break the module into however many modules you need to get them each under X.

My take away from that paper was that the best life hack I can do would be to reduce whatever metric was being used to measure quality each time I checked in.

It is shockingly easy to edit existing code to reduce the bulk while making it clearer. Oftentimes, that is simply just removing dead code. Sometimes it's modifying ridiculously convoluted code.

Most the time, reducing the lines of code also reduces other complexity measures if you do it with care. Of course, my measure was never a target so I was never led to perverse incentives and dysfunctional behavior.

How does the market determine the value of something that isn't for sale as well as being relatively unique and difficult to compare? I would think the value of something like that to the market would be zero.

> The risk-on assets are 12.86% of the reserves, via simple division. Their equity is 0.36% of assets. If their risk-on assets were impaired by more than about 2.86%, Tether must have (by their own numbers) needed recapitalization. It is not credible that they suffered no serious impairment. Bitcoin, the blue chip cryptocurrency, is down by more than 10%.

> I challenge anyone to find a portfolio construction for digital token investments that possibly survived this environment with only a 2.86% impairment.

Last sentence right there is the nail in the coffin. There is no such possible investment that can exist without recapitilization based on these data.

Explain please clearly the biologic/metabolic pathways of how meat consumption leads to diabetes. I'm listening.

Does eating meat spike blood glucose? No?

Does meat cause regular insulin spikes and subsequently development of insulin resistance? No?

Then how in the flying fuck eating meat would lead to developing diabetes type-2 (that's the common one fatties have)?

This is such an utterly deranged thing to say, do you even have like a barebones base-literacy level understanding of human biology? What is this? Am I on reddit?

How can you get fat eating meat? It doesn't spike blood glucose levels and doesn't spike insulin (a hormone primarily one responsible for lipogenesis - aka fat storage).

Do you know what the US is also largest per-capita consumers of?

Fucking sugar. ~126g of it per ... DAY... per CAPITA (which is insane). And there you have it.
