> file transfer paragraph

It's a continuous stream of data. If you want to conceptualize it as "files", then you can consider each "file" as either sub-kilobyte, or sub-frame-length. With the former, there is exactly zero change on latency, and with the latter there is a handful of milliseconds.

In other words, bandwidth only affects the portion of latency between receiving the first byte and receiving the last byte. In this situation that's so tiny it's negligible. The latency to the first byte is what matters, and that number is basically independent of the bandwidth.

> freeway paragraph, last paragraph

If the police set up a "checkpoint" then that is directly going to delay packets. Obviously that changes latency. That has nothing to do with bandwidth though. The same with "data has to pause for a security inspection or take detours through multiple locations". I'm not sure why you quoted this part.

But let's consider a freeway that goes down to one lane (or alternatively that we 10x the number of cars we have), which is a bandwidth change. Well, we're sending a fixed amount of cars per second down the freeway. If they can't fit into one lane, then the whole thing will immediately back up and we'll lose connection entirely. It doesn't affect latency, it drops the connection.

> Why does there need to be an endless amount of dialects?

Because any time someone makes an (operator arg1 arg2 ...) language, they either put Lisp in the name, or else state elsewhere that it's a Lisp dialect.

Why does there need to be an endless progression of C-like dialects? They don't get called C, or rarely so.

The semantic differences between things called Lisp can be as large as between C++, Java, Javascript and Awk.

Many programming languages have been modeled on Algol; why are there so many Algols and why aren't they called that way? A lot of it is because of syntactic differences.

In the Lisp world, there are some mainstream languages that have the most users; if that's important to someone, they can stick with those and pretend the rest don't exist.
But now there isn't a path to represent that specific connection we just opened, and there is no way to open it again, say from within another process. The only handle for the open connection you have is the FD, and you'd have to send that around which is harder (but also safer I admit).

The approach would be Linux-y but probbly not enough according to 9p standards.
The point of being able to start a startup in the US is to protect founders from the kind of bad behavior you’re (indirectly) worried about.

Russia comes to mind as a place where you really don’t want to lose investors $200M.

In the US, there’s no way for investors to pressure founders, beyond the dynamics of a startup. Investor pressure is a known quantity. YC spends a lot of time preparing founders for it, and pg has several essays on it.

Sequoia will be just fine. But even if they weren’t, they can’t react in a way that indirectly affects you.

Put another way, if your founders allowed themselves to be in a situation where a single investor controlled the fate of your company, they were already in a bad bet.
>But it is not that easy. You also have to cut the wallet manufacturer and the software developer out of the loop.

Better get computer literate, and better yet, cryptographically savvy. Oh, but wait, all those microprocessors have closed blob firmware, closed source designs, and you have no idea what type of higher level industry collusion (be it with regulators you disagree with, or just within themselves to ensure they maintain a niche) they have going on.

Guess you'll have to bootstrap your own hardware/firmware/software stack, and maintain it yourself.

...No, there is no /s. I'm dead serious. That's what you're proposing shakes out like.

Look, it ain't an unfamiliar sight to me. I've also seen it exploited in the other direction (industry doing everything they can to maintain their relevance to the detriment of everyone else) too many times.

What I guess I'm trying to say is: no one (in power, or to an extent abstractly) actually wants to empower people to be able to financially self-service.
???

banks hold real life assets, that can be resold, like mortgages or loans to credit-worthy people.

they also have access to central banks, and other big banks who might recapitalise them if they have bad luck.

FTX had a bundle of funbacks, which it had also printed, and are of no intrinsic worth.

of course the liquidity and reserve requirements are different.
The 5th circuit is also the court that upheld Texas's recent "social media" law [1]. That's the one that makes it illegal for private companies to do content moderation on their private platforms. I doubt that's a coincidence.

For the same reason as there are many algol-like languages.

I remember in the 1980s someone remarked that C and Pascal were more similar

Same stuff here. I practice tai chi and as you may know practicioners usually work in group. Keeping in sync with the others is 100% part of the practice and is impossible to do if one is not really concentrated on its surroudings. There's no way you might think about something else while doing it :-) (and I don't even talk about the sheer amount of proprioception you have to use to do the movements correctly)

It's about 200 lines of Python code to implement a Bitcoin HD (Hierarchical Deterministic) wallet using just the standard library and old-style addresses.

This will give you a 256-bit integer as the private key. You can process this further with whatever additional method you want (Shamir Secret Sharing, ...).

Obviously not for everybody, but the underlying cryptography is pretty simple.
Dart was built by Google, and nobody wants to touch it. Well, a few diehard fans.

Something about a baby
There's going to be a lot more scrutiny of crypto startups, so if yours is in that space you can look forward to a lot of urgent meetings. Otherwise, raises are going to be more difficult in the future so it seems like everybody is trying to get profitable as soon as possible. At the very least, extending the runway as far as possible because nobody knows if VCs will be there next round.
i have exactly the same feelings/experiences. i started to ride a bike when pandemic begun and it really improved my comfort of living and ovearll "mental" attitude. its really not about fitness but more like a therapy for a brain to reset. its best to ridea in areas where you can be close to the nature as the presence of nature also contributes
Another interesting point is that the city of Ur had a harbour, which connected it directly to shipping routes with India [1] and Bahrain [2]. The shipping connection with India meant that Ur was able to import a funny blue-coloured stone from Afghanistan, called Lapis Lazuli [3].

Nowadays, Ur isn't even close to the sea, but appears to be about 200 km inland. That is what 2,5 thousand years of silt build-up will do...

Same here. I do cold showers, sauna, eat fiber every day, almost religiously take supplements, and exercise most days. People think I'm a health fanatic type but really I just feel awful normally, and when I do all of this I feel okay. It's just to keep myself mentally okay. I have a theory that's why depression and anxiety are so common in humanity-- in general they force people to keep improving(until they don't).
I believe that is the white hat group. It helps to identify the exact txns & addresses they are referring to here.
Okay but that's a terrible example: lots of people don't have the same last name despite being married. So you better use separate fields for that if you want "last names". But of course, programmers famously have no idea what names are, resulting in a never ending stream of "why the fuck won't you let me use the name that I have?" for anything from ecommerce to government websites, so you really shouldn't even have a separate first and last name field, you should just have a "name" field, and it bloody well better support all of unicode, because the only person who can tell you what their name is, is the person filling out the field, not you as form designer =)

The reason piece is good, but it glosses over some of the legal issues here. What is not at doubt is that Villarreal did not commit a crime. The texas law is either unconstitutionally vague, or doesn't apply to the kind of conduct that Villareal engaged in (the texas law actually isn't at issue, since Villareal wasn't indicted).
The question is whether the texas law is so unconstitutional, that arresting her for breaking it creates a ground to sue the officers. It's a question of the doctrine of qualified immunity, that police officers cannot be sued under the civil rights act unless they act against settled law. There is no settled law that this kind of arrest is unconstitutional, and so the question is whether it is sort of obviously settled law, an extremely high bar.
I don't agree with the doctrine of qualified immunity, but it is the law according to the supreme court, the appeals courts are responsible for applying it.
Politicians put people in jail? I thought judges do that.

It's possible to change them at will as well.
Maybe domain fronting was initially disabled as an unsuccessful attempt to fix that bug, that's possible and as I said I was not involved in that decision. Still, if that's the case, there was a policy decision afterwards to leave it disabled, because disabling it did not fix the bug, as you seem to agree. (Again, not elaborating on the bug publicly without permission, but I remember it turned out to have nothing to do with the SNI.)

My point is that disabling domain fronting (or leaving it disabled after finding the bug's root cause) was a policy decision, not something necessary to mitigate the bug or prevent it from re-occurring.

Gotta tailor my algorithm
He's overlooking an incredibly important factor:

Java and C++ had capable, even enterprise quality free compilers at a time when Common Lisp environments were typically either hideously expensive or poorly supported or both.

You could grab Sun's JDK for free, or GCC, or (later) Visual Studio Express at a time when the best options for Common Lisp were thousands of dollars per seat, or barely working on x86 (CMUCL didn't have x86 support in any capacity until after 96, and by then Java was out).

Personally, I loved lisp in the 90s, but it was just so much easier to get my hands on C and Java, and libraries to go with them. Java, C and C++ were actually available on DOS and Windows. Even today, Windows support among lisps is terrible!

Edit: I miss Turbo C, but had there been a Turbo Lisp, priced affordably and on the shelf at radio shack? We'd all be programming in lisp.

I don’t see the crypto streams that often but I have noticed that the ads, especially the home feed ads, are often low quality. Among those ads, I regularly see fake MrBeast ads (including a picture of the guy’s face) offering $500, $750 or $1k. I’ve reported these multiple times but they keep showing up. I feel like they could eliminate this entire class of scam if they did a face match scan whenever an advertiser uploaded a picture for their ad.
The "stunning" thing at the time was the price. It was a Powerbook 3400c opened flat and mounted, without the battery, at twice the price. It was obsolete the moment it was launched, using a 1994 CPU in 1997 at the same time that Apple itself was already marketing the greatly superior PowerPC G3, and Intel had been shipping the Pentium II—comparable to the G3 and hugely faster than the 603e—for most of a year.
Side question I've been wondering: what was Sequoia, a well-respected VC, doing investing in companies that do nothing but enable people to trade speculative assets with no track record? I'm not so worried about Fundrise or Robinhood because those assets are at least useful or Masterworks because art has a track record. Maybe it's because prospective LPs had the same crypto fomo as retail speculators, but don't GPs also have skin in the game?
I think there are lots of dialects because it's the easiest programming language to misunderstand.

Somehow, someone who makes a scripting language with C syntax , like Awk or Javascript, instinctively knows that it isn't C and not to call it that.

But any time slaps together some parentheses evaluator they think they have Lisp.
From fdic insured banks, I’d imagine the answer is yes.
> There should be more discussion about how to store value without counterparty risk.

> Most people think it is as easy as ordering a hardware wallet, following the process the wallet software suggests and - hurray! - your keys, your coins!

What exactly is the threat model here?

To my knowledge, there's been no general compromise of truly air-gapped hardware that could only exfiltrate data by a back channel in an otherwise valid cryptographic transaction. This scenario seems to therefore imagine a targeted attack.

However, if you're storing enough value to be the subject of a targeted attack, then it would also be unwise to have the assets so concentrated in cryptocurrencies. Diversification reduces overall risk.

With cryptocurrencies as just one asset among many, the "storage" answer becomes obvious: use a law firm or financial institution that holds enough liability insurance to cover any losses arising from bad storage practices. Use the legal system, rather than evade it.
it's because of the current that is leaked by the class y capacitor connecting primary and secondary of the power supply to suppress EMI. this will mean there's something like 50 - 100v potential to earth on your macbook, but at a very low (non dangerous) current. that's why you get zapped or feel a tingle. if you have the earth connection, that power will be sunk through the earth lead, but otherwise a metal case will generally be connected to the DC ground (and also earth if present on the plug), which will have this low current AC voltage present.

SBF being a US citizen was an angle I hadn’t considered. The US does have jurisdiction over its own citizens, even if they’re operating in other countries. So the question becomes to what extent has SBF defrauded US investors.
He didn't write that. From what I understand, the corporation just paid him to say he wrote it. He never actually had the rights to the book, because you can't hold copyright on something just by saying you wrote it.

A bankruptcy judge later transferred the rights from the publisher to the Goldman family. Why I have no idea. But it isn't like it was "taken" from Mr. Simpson or he "had to give" the proceeds. He got his money from the publisher and later a bankruptcy judge decided the publisher could be parted with their income stream.
I think it’s more likely that a new competitor arises. FB is dying and uncool; Google has no social media chops to speak of. See: Vine getting extinguished EDIT: and only being succeeded by TikTok years later

It's disappointing that Lizzie Evans is successfully playing the system and getting away with only 15 years or less for egregiously terrible crimes where she massively manipulated and abused everyone's trust from a high position.

Meanwhile, Sunny Balwani is facing more charges and possibly more jail time than Lizzie, even though she was clearly the mastermind behind everything. He was her co-conspirator, but if it hadn't been him it'd have been some other sucker.

The justice system is so political, it makes no sense.

Generally, no, especially debt that occurred before the marriage.

That said, California is a community property state, which means that income and debts that are incurred during the marriage are considered the joint property of both spouses. Again though, Holmes debt and her husband's wealth were acquired before their marriage, so in that case it's easy to keep these separate.

Agreed, and I'll add that you don't have to be overly interested in metrics/fitness/quantified self to derive benefit from this.

For instance, I care little about the measurements of any given run or walk, I rarely even look at them when I'm done, but just the recording itself on my Apple Watch subtly motivates me to work harder and go longer. It becomes more of a 'workout' than a passive activity.
There's different ways to handle multi-sig, but https://gnosis-safe.io is probably the current gold standard, and it's pretty easy to set up and use.

It's a smart contract that you can add any type of owner to (regular wallet, hardware wallet, anything that can sign for transactions), then you specify how many of the owners need to sign for transactions.
