The problem I outline is not about a physical to digital link. It is essentially about decentralization and using a tamper proof append-only log to store key events and signatures.

Storing commits on GitHub is neither of those things; data is owned by a single company in the US, and previously published logs can be deleted to recreate a false history.
At this point, being fired by Elon should be seen as a badge of honor.
I think emulation is the sincerest form of preservation for these old systems. The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) project would often say that preservation of the old hardware was their goal, the fact that you could use the code to play old roms was really more of a side affect. I used to think that was just a pretext for piracy, and I still think there's something to that, but more and more I appreciate what they did to document that old gear.
In mine?

Maybe your thinking of a gas powered leaf blower?

I am not.
I've been a big fan for a couple years. Initially it was really weird to me. Now it's not! I've gotten more used to microtonality, for one thing, and for another I think he's toned down the really xenharmonic aspects of his music. When his latest album comes up on Spotify the harmonies don't sound particularly strange to me, just a little smoother than what you would get out of 12 Edo.
Honeycrisp are so good and ruined other apples for me. Now I only eat Honeycrisp and its various variants like cosmic crisp, Pazazz, SweeTango and so on.

Yeah like other comments have said - agreements with venues. In the real world, it is still relatively easy to control the supply, especially given there are so few big venues and only a number of big artists that can fill those venues.
> If its not completely clear by now: no, these companies can't promise you 8% APY without essentially running a ponzi scheme. I'm sure even Madoff had some good years during bull runs

It's almost impossible to beat the market after fees. Anyone who promises to do so, consistently, is full of it. French (2008) and a whole body of literature before and after.
It's useful to think of the transition as starting close to 15 years ago with Apple buying PA Semi and Intrinsity, shaping ARMv8, doing test ports of macOS, etc. Of course deep analysis too, but some pretty empirical evaluation of multiple generations of running prototypes to find the gaps that mattered (product and performance). They telegraphed the plan pretty plainly when they announced the A7 as "desktop class."
Exchanges and trading firms are not "Crypto". They're human institutions which happen to sit atop cryptocurrency instruments. What we're seeing play out in realtime is what happens when unregulated human institutions come to possess fantastical amounts of wealth -- in short, they go pathological.

i have no clue why anyone would buy a red delicious apple. Their review is pretty funny.
Not many textbooks require a new edition every year and it wasn’t really as bad for the secondhand market where the original buyers would pay exhorbitant prices for textbooks but would recover some of it by selling them as used.

With new editions every semester they want to extract as much money from students which I find appalling, students are kindof poor on average. Piracy is an outcome to that
They've ranked Granny Smith as "Not worth eating" so right off the bat I can tell you the rating system is junk.

It loses the most points on its "density." Can't say I've ever eaten a granny smith and thought "I enjoy this taste, but I sure wish I could change the density."
You can get everything there is in APL, plus no weird symbols in the J programming language.

> learning all the alien symbols is a one-time investment

No one time investment is needed if you want to learn J.

And yes, it does teach you to think in a new way. I am not kidding.

You can see the plethora of (mostly free) books available at the website [0].

Learning J has given me "enlightenment" at the same level The Little Schemer has given me.

(I don't recommend APL to anyone as you need to learn and painstakingly slowly insert those symbols. If you want to learn array thinking, go straight to J. Why waste time and headspace with APL symbols?)

Does Granny Smith redeem itself when baked? We have an apple tree we vaguely name as cooking apples, and it’s nearly finished for the season. Stewed apple may be better than the top of this ranking.

That's not really what happened if you read the article. The Bush admin created a deliberate hole in the program to allow investors to convert holding to Roths. It's a weaponized tax shelter program. And it's one that can be exploited over and over. This is less a story that Thiel broke the rules and more that Republican policy used a clever trick to allow this to happen. You can still blame this on Thiel in a roundabout way since he is such a heavy Republican donor, this seems like a pretty straightforward case of regulatory capture.

8%? Nexo's was promising 16% APR as recently as Nov 11 according to Google's cache (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:eN2KEV...). The page redirects to the home page now.

EDS.
Ticketmaster's a very vertical monopoly, if you go with anyone else then a ton of venues simply will not work with you. If you open a venue that works with anyone besides Ticketmaster then you won't be able to book any acts that do work with TM, which is "pretty much fucking everyone". There's a lot more to this, Doctorow and Giblin's recent book "Chokepoint Capitalism" has a couple of chapters that examine this whole setup in great detail.

Being busy feels entirely different when you are in charge. If, however, your calendar is controlled by other people...
This has been discussed a few times before (see link below).

It's difficult to do a TLDR for such a complex issue, but from what I remember the biggest problem seems to be that Ticketmaster is extremely vertical to the degree it either owns or has exclusive contracts with venues.

Seems like a pretty strong argument that they have a monopoly (so gov. regulation might be the only way to change anything).

If only things were generally so simple. While I'm all for more possible causes that are more easily treated, I’d hardly call this convincing evidence that all we need to treat is zinc deficiencies. But time will tell, as I hope these kinds of research continue.
If you want to talk in terms of coins, some of the direct fallout includes:

FTT: $26 -> $1.60
Serum: $0.80 -> $0.26
Solana: $36 -> $14

Or, more indirectly all crypto 'market cap' in general: $1050B -> $825B. Ok, so market cap is pretty ephemeral, but chances are, if you held any crypto prior to FTX collapsing, its theoretical value has dropped because of it. DeFi doesn't make you immune.

This is not obvious to me, as it would have been trivial for legislators to specify a CPI adjusted maximum for the tax advantaged gains.

>And a pretty easy regulatory update to cap the value of Roth withdrawals.

Yes, and I encourage Congress to do that. That has always been one of the risks with opting for Roth.
My wired options in MASS: Comcast Cable (987 Mbps), DSL (15Mbps)

My actual speeds with Comcast are ~140 Mbps, and typically the network (or my local node) is overwhelmed.

The only other options are satellite, or cellular.

What is incredibly amazing is how much health care costs in the US. Government expenditures Per Capita are over twice of the nations like Canada, UK, Australia, and Japan. And most of this for medicare, for which only a fraction of the population is eligible.

And yet, this is not enough, and people need private health insurance.
Then you look at the prices of common medications, and most of them (mind you, a lot of them made in India or China) are sometimes ten times more expensive than the SAME medications in any other developed country and even more expensive for the same medications in Under Developed countries.

It looks like the invisible hand of markets is not working here. But at the same, the political process is also blind to the real issues.

eBay is definitely the main place for any kind of vintage electronics. It's not just random people selling old junk there, you should also find professional stores that are basically operating out of eBay. They'll test stuff, do mod work, etc.

(Hypothetically)

Couldn’t this concept be built out in a much more decentralized way, where there’s a desktop app you install that is basically a BitTorrent client and a search interface, and then the app synchronizes with all other desktop apps to keep a SQLite database updated with all of the book meta data, and then each user also contributes some amount of disk space (let’s say 1gb) that the app automatically manages storing some amount of the network’s book files in (maybe even encrypted somehow, or fragments of book files, so you never actually have a complete file on any given machine).

So basically a big torrent mesh with redundant, fragmented storage of book files everywhere. People can upload a book, the app shreds it up and broadcasts to the network, enough other apps sync those fragments on their end to make it “permanently” on the network (statistically at least).

The metadata can’t possibly be that big for a million books in a SQLite database. Users would search against their local SQLite DB, and for a book they want to download, it’s just normal BitTorrent downloads in the background. Run it all through TOR or similar.

Thoughts? I am only a user of all of the above tech, never written software for any of it. Is it possible to build a distributed and resilient file sharing system like this?
Is that going to make the operators less remorseful?

That's because most of the major venues are owned by LiveNation... which is the same company. When they merged in 2010 everyone saw this coming.

Wow, until now I thought Microsoft were the kings of absurd dedication to backwards compatibility.

> But the RTX 4080’s starting price is 71.5 percent more expensive than the RTX 3080

This is a strange comparison because the 3080 was essentially never (and still is not) available at the MSRP of 699 $ (719 €). Even now the cheapest 3080 I can find is almost 800 €, and that's with the new generation already out two years later. Before the crypto collapse you'd never see these under four digits.

However the overall trend is still correct - nVidia has kept the price for 1 TFLOPS very constant since 2016ish

2004: ~5000 $/TFLOPS for a 6800 Ultra (~0.1 TFLOPS, ~500 $)

2006: 1200 $/TFLOPS for a 8800 GTS (~0.4 TFLOPS, ~500 $)

2008: 500 $/TFLOPS for a 280 (1 TFLOPS, 500 $)

2010: 300 $/TFLOPS for a 580 (1.6 TFLOPS, 500 $)

2012: 160 $/TFLOPS for a 680 (3 TFLOPS, 500 $)

2014: 115 $/TFLOPS for a 980 Ti (5.6 TFLOPS, 649 $)

2016: 60 $/TFLOPS for a 1080 Ti (11.4 TFLOPS, 699 $)

2018: 51 $/TFLOPS for a 2080 Ti (23.5 TFLOPS, 1199 $)

2020: 48-76 $/TFLOPS for a 3080 (25 TLFOPS, 1200-1900 $) or around 50-60 $/TFLOP for a 3080 Ti (28 TFLOPS, ~1600 $)

2022: 40 $/TFLOPS for a 4080 (43 TFLOPS, seems to be in the 1600 $ region now)
Why do you feel you need to stay informed with a firehose of information constantly being transferred?

I wrote Perl for a couple of years early on in my software career. It's mostly write-only. Oh it can be used to write readable and maintainable code, but often isn't.
"Happen to sit atop" is so far from an accurate accounting of the multi-headed hydra that is the crypto/defi space. Good thing I'm not expecting much in the way of accurate accounting.
There are some legitimate use cases for decentralized ledgers and other "crypto-like" tech.

As far as I'm aware, none of those involve anything that looks remotely like financial speculation.

By “tapping a screen a couple of times” you’re referring to the process of enabling side-loading on Android?

Because if you don’t think that’s a problem, then you must be living in a bubble surrounded by techies.

Imagine you’re trying to start a competing app store. What does user acquisition look like for you on Android? Besides the regular ad spending to promote your app, you also need to figure out a way to guide consumers through the installation process.

Even if you manage to solve that problem effectively with some kick ass tutorial, your main competitor doesn’t have to worry about that. They will always be advantaged no matter how superior your product/service is.

And that’s just the side loading side of it. There are many other anti-competitive things Google does on Android to maintain their monopoly.

"stuck" - LOL. Hope dies last.
Careful. They'll come for the libraries next.
The situation gets worse when considering the near racketeering many publishers engage in. I had a couple of professors who assigned us their own $100 textbooks, which of course had a new edition every year and while they wouldn't rely on it much in class, they'd make sure to include at least one question in the exams about something only mentioned in the textbook (without stating that that would happen).

This kind of textbook "abuse" was pretty crazy in undergrad. In comparison, my graduate level professors all either used very old textbooks and didn't really care about the edition or outright used free textbooks.
Sure. TradFi companies that everyone in the RadFi ecosystem rely on.

>"In his 1974 novel Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert Pirsig coined the term gumption trap. Here he explains the power of gumption while working on a motorcycle:

“Gumption is the psychic gasoline that keeps the whole thing going.

If you haven’t got it there’s no way the motorcycle can possibly be fixed.

But if you have got it and know how to keep it there’s absolutely no way in the whole world that motorcycle can keep from getting fixed.

It’s bound to happen. Therefore the thing that must be monitored at all times and preserved before anything else is the gumption.“"
I think this attempts to rank apples based on how people would rank them on average. I think it's good for that. Not a lot of people like Granny Smith apples. Maybe I would not say it is not worth eating, but I wouldn't suggest it unless you wanted something different?
Totally disagree with SugarBee being so low. My understanding is that it was engineered to be an improved version of Honeycrisp. My wife and I did a head-to-head comparison of SugarBee and Honeycrisp, and the SugarBee won no contest. We got our apples from Sigona’s; maybe the list creator got a bad batch somewhere?

Is it really billions or is that some people bought some worthless tokens at a low price then later a crowd valued those tokens at a high price. Then when the tokens are devalued the original people claim that they lost 'billions'. Of course some people who bought at a middle price lost real money but did that add up to billions?
That sort of people just enjoy abusing their fellow man, and are constantly on the lookout for excuses. Anything will do.
