I'll mention one more thing which helps: Concrete offers of help. Depending on the circumstances, those can be practical (e.g. cooking and bringing food, covering part of funeral expenses/logistics) or supportive (e.g. making yourself available to talk through things or just be there for someone).

A vague offer of help, many people will never make use of. "If there's anything I can do..." often doesn't quite signal "if there's _anything_" so much as a concrete offer of the time, effort, or money you're willing to put in to help out. Even if it's not quite what will help them, you've signalled you're e.g. willing to spend 8 hours and $1000. It's a lot easier to ask for something else, comparable, and know it's within reason. Otherwise, most people won't impose on you for anything major.

I'd edit to: “Hey, I heard about the news. I don’t have the right words and please don’t feel obligated to reply. Just know that if I can do something, big or small, now or in the future, I'd be glad to. For example, I'd be glad to ____ or ____. If you'd like to talk, I'm a phone call away, or I'd be glad to bring dinner over tomorrow, if you'd like to chat.”

Much of this has a cultural component too. Some of the above might be too much in the US and too little in more collectivist cultures.
Exactly. FTX.com wasn't even legal in the US. The Terra/Luna crash was WAY worse for people, and that didn't do much to scare people away.

BTC has held above $16k, which is really saying something considering the circumstances.
Sure - but it's a lot easier for someone when they "already know" - it makes you sound less like someone who is just going through the motions.
Is this a rhetorical question? If not, just look at Alex Jones.
What is real money anyway? Money is an idea and the money supply contains far more than physical currency. If someone believes they have crypto wealth, they will spend accordingly and the velocity of what we measure as the economy increases. If that crypto wealth disappears, that person is going to cut back on their real spending. The economy is human.

Reading information rates are pretty similar across major written languages. (1.42 ± 0.13 texts/min). Ideographs take longer to recognize but contain more information.

Japanese readers do indeed take in information slightly more slowly than average, but not as slowly as Finnish readers -- a language with 26 latin-based characters.

It will continue to fall under increased scrutiny and market regulation until it's no longer profitable to run any kind of financial system on it.

There will still be believers and people who will throw money at it and try.

But I think they will have a harder time convincing investors going forward.

I suspect it will end up mirroring the MLM market: still there, still profitable for a few, but depends largely on an uninformed base of people getting roped in by their friends and relatives who are already caught up in it.

Like Avon but for tech bros.
I thought this entire thread was denial of the fact that cryptobros could be part of the establishment. "No, it's not a Ponzi scheme. We're taking down the old order. Buy my coins."

The reason herbicides have to be highly toxic is that they are sprayed indiscriminately, so only small quantities actually get on the target. Farmers don't prefer highly toxic things. They would prefer to use less toxic things, applied directly in large quantities to the target and not elsewhere.
Just look at crypto for massive deregulation. It would be a disaster.
No, you can trade crypto on a decentralized exchange like a token trading contract on ethereum. You do have the risk of bugs in the code or poorly coded contracts with backdoor but the code is public.

This method is attacking the Warburg effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warburg_effect_(oncology) and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26778478/

Some cancers are glucose-sensitive which use glucose to grow.

Some cancer patients go on a keto diet instead of/as well as aerobic activity (a keto diet is probably better tolerated than lots of aerobic activity for many cancer patients).

from https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/01/180126095312.h...

This dependency on sugar distinguishes cancer cells from normal cells and is often used as a treatment option to kill cancer cells. In reality, the results have not been encouraging. Not all cancer cell types are sensitive to the removal of sugar, and even for the cancers that are sensitive, sugar depletion only slows down the rate of cancer progression. The pathways that sensitise cancer cells to sugar deprivation remains poorly understood.
So your take is that every government is always right, did I understand you correctly?
It is the ray of light which exposes the ideological con taking place: trust between machines isnt trust in an economic sense. Centralisation of power has nothing to do with computer network decentralisation.

The scam here is, at first, ideological. There's a techbro-libertarian wordplay taking place which must be exposed. The blockchain has nothing to offer "trust", "contracts", "rights", "rewards". Nothing.

And much worse than this, it makes all of the existing problems with these "in western society" worse.

What every single major "crypto" project exposes is the radical disconnect between building functioning social economic institutions and programming "on the chain".

ie., what their collapse shows is that the emporer has no clothes.

When this sinks in, that all we were ever talking about is a stupid append-only log, *then*, hopefully everything else falls away.

I think my simplest heuristic for agreeing with your point is how much content there is in the English Wikipedia vs. other languages. I haven't run the numbers, but I'm sure it's also much more US centric (take a look at the # of articles on the US government (current and historical) vs., say, the Brazilian government...)

America just tends to be particularly prolific in producing online content. No, I'm not claiming this as a statistical fact, but I am claiming that's the impression day in an day out so might as well assume as much...

FTX: "drug laced penthouse orgy ponzi scheme blowup"
The big issue is that soundness of technology is great and all but money at the end of the day depends on social factors and practicality (not smart contracts, immutable transactions, merkle trees, etc.)
There's also the fact that many of these influencers are deliberately cultivating parasocial relationships - causing their fans to create false emotional attachments as a marketing strategy. It's wildly unethical and often quite harmful to their victims.
Looks this website is dead and gone, just like all the money people invested in FTX, crypto and bitcoin.

Yeah, you're probably right. When you start factoring in inattention and insufficient physical conditioning to control the bike (ebikes can weigh significantly more than a regular bicycle) it might even be lower.
For easy to miss context:

This seems to be mainly about measuring the change of stack efficiency of rust compared to a C++ base line.

Given who the author is I'm pretty sure they know that e.g. having more stack movement can be better then having more heap allocations.

But there is a list of ways you can reduce stack memory movement as compiler optimizations without allocating heap memory, and AFIK rust doesn't yet fully take advantage of many of them.

Additionally sometimes trading a lot of stack movements with a single allocation can be quite a bit faster, e.g. why anyhow does a thin-pointer + inlined vtable optimization.

So I think the side is mainly for tracking improvements in compiler code generation and secondary if rustc uses some thin-pointer optimizations in places where it does yield some benefits.

That’s right. But for GDPR no one cares about profits. They need to be fined on revenue.

Otherwise non-profit making companies could do any privacy BS and not be fined.
Great article. It’s important to understand that hospitals are the enemy in American healthcare. (All of its layers are the enemy, but hospitals are often overlooked).

Many hospitals are viscous for-profit machines that fraudulently maintain a non-profit status. They employ CFOs and business analysts to maximize profits unrelated to care quality. They hire “medical coders” whose entire job is to find the highest price way to legally bill you for services. (Is a surgery followed by stitches from a second doctor one procedure or two? Can we bill higher for medication if we can’t bill more for surgery? Can we charge a “room fee”?). And medical coder fees often show up on hospital bills sent to patients! The non profit mission of hospitals has long ago been lost to maximizing profits.
Exhibit A of the incompetence defense.
> I’d guess it’s due to the nature of the unrelenting violent opposition they face. Necessity is the mother of invention.

It would be one thing if these types of weapons were used for defense versus offense. Then selling off that offensive weapon to fund more offensive weapons. These weapons that were created as you said to combat violent opposition, enables Nation States and Authoritarian Regimes to target journalists and whistleblowers.

how did ftx successfully raise so much vc money recently? do these top vc firms do no due diligence?
You've misread my comment.

I'm angry that they're repeating pro-cypto ideology. If you read the article, they do not want gov control. They want the scams to play out.

I expect better from the economist. It shares a readership with the FT, and the FT has not fallen victim to this hysteria.
It's sticky to "guess right", in the case where publicizing that guess would reveal technology "secrets". Those secrets are export controlled whether or not you know of a government program creating those secrets in parallel, even if nobody is working on it. Some capabilities are just automatically guarded from inception.

For example, if you "guess" that a certain type of lens would be better for certain types of infrared imaging, and publish this, you have potentially violated the US export control / international traffic in arms regulation (ITAR) by "exporting" that design to the wider public.

It's easy to complain about that, but widely publishing information on highly effective weaponry is (I hope) clearly a bad idea, lest some rogue actor start shooting down airliners for fun.
> I've talked to plenty of people whose eyes light up when you tell them 5 + 1 2 3 just works in the language.

This is literally "people who like it say they like it". It's like saying that the value proposition of Python is having list comprehension, when that's just syntactic sugar.

And no, it's not just me, you just have to take a look at the comments or even the OP. The only point being made is that it has very powerful array programming primitives, but those functions can be easily brought to other languages (and indeed a lot of them have those primitives).
It is impossible for a monetary system to be decentralized, safe, and have mass adoption. Because security requires either inconvenience or centralization, and inconvenience is a hard barrier to mass adoption.

The short answer is yes, but your question implies a fundamental misunderstanding of Bitcoin and blockchains. The coins do not exist "in your wallet" - the wallet just holds your keys that prove you own some of the coins visible to everybody on the public blockchain.

If you want a really great learning aid, search for "Island of Yap Blockchain" and read any of the million articles about it.

For my whole life i sustain 195-200 for 1h. Im 40+ now and run a 10k a day (45mins). Even a very slow 10k (1h) i never go below 170 after the first 5 minutes.
I think this hits on one key thing that's missing from many TODO lists I've tried: dependencies are important.

But the UI feels big and slow and cumbersome. Entering all my sub-tasks is tedious in a way that a simple bullet list is not.

I just want to type in "Reproduce bug => Fix bug => Post PR => Deploy fix". The big main goal might have a deadline and title and description, but the level of granularity I want means that I don't have time/need to do that for each item. I don't need these animations and full-screen data entry pages. Even the fact that I have to use the mouse with each item is too much friction for me.

I also think the overall TODO list view is missing the key purpose: at a glance, I want to see the specific "what should I do right now" item(s). The big flowchart distracts me from the immediate focus.

Obviously, you probably don't want to fully rewrite the UI for my idiosyncrasies, but I would recommend making adding small, simple tasks very quick and easy. Maybe just tab/shift-tab to add a "next" and "before" tasks without jerking me into a separate view or forcing me to switch from keyboard to mouse.
> Remember that corruption is defined as government interference in the free market in the form of regulation.

You mean as in passing regulation drafted by SBF, the dude running the biggest crypto ponzi exposed so far, which would have allowed him to capture a hefty chunk of crypto exchanges market through regulatory capture?

The chief lobbyist of FTX was an ex-CFTC commissioner regularly meeting with the SEC and the CFTC.

Here are the very words of US Congressman:

https://twitter.com/RepTomEmmer

"Interesting. @GaryGensler runs to the media while reports to my office allege he was helping SBF and FTX work on legal loopholes to obtain a regulatory monopoly. We're looking into this."

I also read this: "Four U.S. lawmakers have accused the SEC under Chairman Gary Gensler of "regulatory hypocrisy and inconsistency."

So it looks like the "billionaire financiers" may not be the only ones to blame.

We're not just talking about "regulation interfering with the free market". We're talking about regulatory capture by the biggest fraudster since Madoff.
56% of issued certificates on the web are enrolled and managed with ACME
I dunno about all this. This seems like a move motivated by tech industries to make China pay for the data like everybody else instead of having their own personal data vacuum.

If the problem was privacy, there would be reform legislation coupled with the move

If the problem is "China shows its youths this, but shows us that", I mean, yeah, China has regulation around how its youths interact with social media; meanwhile, over in America, we're just gonna keep on with the running social experiment of what happens with unmitigated social media framing the way young people interact w/ reality, and I mean actually building first-hand experience and reflecting on that, not second-hand rendering of such.

Anecdotally, my experience with their algo is that you are in complete control. It adapts faster than any other platform to my training it, whereas IG continues to insist on showing me things in my explore section I've routinely told it not to. Whether or not the Chinese government is tipping the scale of content distribution, I mean, do they really need to do anything, or was America already divisive? Blocking TikTok at any rate probably won't stop that trajectory, our own political sphere, as Jesse Ventura once said, is a sports game in the first place.

Its one thing to block the app on government devices just in case, the wholesale ban doesn't add up to me though.

The problem: Current node version managers, such as nvm or asdf are too slow. In particular, they add half a second to a few seconds when loaded with bash.

The solution: Write a stupidly simple node version manager which is significantly simpler, hackier, less featureful, and less secure, but much faster.

Quirks that only work in Chrome may stop working in a future release. Things that work on Chrome and FF are more likely to continue to work.

Ideally, you'd have reliable usage numbers by browser and platform, as well as a threshold of usage that demands testing. Maybe that's 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%? Aggregate up, so if FF desktop doesn't hit the numbers, maybe FF in general does, or maybe 'other browsers' does. Or maybe commit to testing the top N platforms over 1% usage.

Lower on the usage scale doesn't need to be pixel perfect or pretty at all, IMHO, but major site features should still work.
You may be right—I was reading the release notes, and the actual docs go into more detail about what the flag does.
This is not backend related though, WASM is just a binary that can be executed by the browser.

>having good work-life balance is a net good, partially _because_ people with good work-life balance are more productive

This is actually what I'm pushing against. I don't like productivity being a primary principle. I'm saying it's worthwhile irrespective of the impact on productivity. (the use of 'net good' was a bad choice on my part because it implies a balancing act).

It's quite common for healthcare workers (particularly surgeons) to work extremely long hours, but that's being re-thought in some areas (esp. in regards to residents). To your point, though, I think a lot of the rethinking is driven by trying to reduce medical errors. It's more related to quality than productivity, but I don't think they can be easily parsed.
> Moreover, sceptics should acknowledge that nobody can predict which innovations will bear fruit and which will not. People should be free to devote time and money to fusion power, airships, the metaverse and a host of other technologies that may never come good. Crypto is no different. As the virtual economy develops, useful decentralised applications may yet appear—who knows? The underlying technology continues to improve.

> Instead of over-regulating or stamping out crypto, regulators should be guided by two principles. One is to ensure that theft and fraud are minimised, as with any financial activity. The other is to keep the mainstream financial system insulated from further crypto-ructions.

I know people knock the Economist for pretty superficial analysis, but honestly appreciate their level-headed take here.

No, his experience isn't necessarily very unusual. You are comparing apples (deaths) and oranges (guns drawn) here. I'm willing to bet an order of magnitude of people more have had the police draw on them vs. shoot them. No one in my family has been killed by the police, but I, my mother, and my uncle have all certainly been drawn on.
I agree with you, even if it is unethical to pirate books I'd make the case that pirating books you can't afford to buy is what helped a non-trivial amount of people escape the generational cycle of poverty. In this particular case, stealing knowledge for a chance at a better career, the end might justify the means.

Programmers from poor countries and poor backgrounds are were they are today making a good living from this career probably because of torrents with collections of programming books back from 10 years ago or more when free video learning on YouTube wasn't as developed as it is today.

I made some sweeping generalizations but I hope I got my point across at least. This criminal avenue of pirating books and stealing potential revenue from authors is what allows some people to enjoy a better living.
And that's a fair point. But the problem is Crypto is an investment playground by people from rich countries and legitimate uses of it in countries like say Venezuela is an extremely small part of total transactions.
It's a cute arty way to draw attention to a huge problem, but lax legislation and penalties are the real culprit here. Net inspection and huge fines would make industrial scale strip mine fishing economically very risky.
