Note that the second part of the argument was that the quantities needed are low. I'd go even further than the GP: even in the "old days" my understanding is that the number of precision parts needed was very low. Most circuitry is of the "pick a component value in this order of magnitude" variety, even on sensitive hardware. Only the handful of parts where it really matters need precision.

But, whereas previously you might spec 5% for a few resistors and 10% for the bulk, now it's no longer worth the added line on your BOM.

To most readers, wiki’s page about it appears to not paint the same picture you’re describing.

Here’s the initial synopsis:
“It was argued in 2009 and decided in 2010. The court held 5-4 that the free speech clause of the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting independent expenditures for political campaigns by corporations, including nonprofit corporations, labor unions, and other associations.”

Corporations and other associations shouldn’t be allowed to donate any money for political ads or political causes. My initial question was if the Citizens United case limits donations. It does by giving unlimited political spending power to most legal entities.

Put JPL in California, mission control in Texas, launches in Florida, and a bunch of manufacturing at Boeing and you've got a much, much wider Congressional support base.

Sure. It is interesting that someone can build a web app, host it on temporary machines, and then one day scale it into a major business model.

That's not new to blockchain. That's how the internet works at a fundamental level. What specifically drives blockchain to be useful or novel or interesting in this model? How is this application better for being on chain?

Just a note that there's a whole app called rcmd for switching apps using the Right Command key: https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd

I'm the developer and have the same exact use case: viewing one window at a time on a single space, instantly switching between them.

I used to map those hotkeys manually using Karabiner, skhd or BTT before, but I figured a semi-dynamic tool might fit this better.

Another thing that's useful for me is using yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) with its Stack layout, which automatically maximizes any window (with or without padding if you want)

Basically:

brew install yabai

Then add this in ~/.yabairc

yabai -m config layout stack

Then start yabai and add it to launch automatically at login:

brew services start yabai

You still don't seem to understand.

I suspect you asked your initial question incorrectly and wanted to know if my dollar denominated crypto holdings have increased or decreased in value. They have obviously decreased when measured in dollars.

When it comes to value, there is no objective measuring stick. There is no SI standard of measure for value. Every way to measure value is subjective and must be compared relative to other measures. You can measure your net worth by the measuring stick of dollars, euros, Venezuelan bolívars, oil, gold, bitcoin, cartons of eggs, or McDonalds big macs. The Big Mac index is a popular example of this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index

When you ask what my "bitcoin denominated net worth" has done, what you asking is what my net worth number has done when measured in terms of bitcoin rather than in terms of dollars. In this value measurement context, if all of my net worth was directly in bitcoin, there would be zero change, just like if all of my net worth was directly in dollars there would never be any change to my dollar denominated net worth.

Note that choice of starter product is important. Amazon started with books - you know exactly what you're getting, they always fit, they're hard to damage, they have pretty high markups and low shipping costs. People were willing to risk buying books online, back when online e-commerce basically consisted of the USENET misc.forsale groups.

Tesla and many other EV companies started with low-volume expensive sports cars, with high margins so they could be basically hand-crafted. (Tesla actually bought the chassis/body/interior from Lotus) If they had started with the Model 3, they'd have gone bankrupt long before they sold any.
I would also love to see an explanation of “why do we need this much accuracy?” that actually goes through the derivation of how much accuracy you need.

Some of the justification for Google’s TrueTime is found in the Spanner docs:

https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/true-time-external-con...

Basically, you want to be able to do a “snapshot read” of the database rather than acquiring a lock (for reasons which should be apparent). The snapshot read is based on a monotonic clock. You can get much better performance out of your monotonic clock if all of your machines have very accurate clocks. When you write to the database, you can add a timestamp to the operation, but you may have to introduce a delay to account for the worst-case error in the clock you used to generate the timestamp.

More accurate timestamps -> less delay. From my understanding, less delay -> servers have more capacity -> buy fewer servers -> save millions of dollars -> use savings to pay for salaries of people who figured out how to make super precise timestamps and still come out ahead.

This kind of engineering effort makes sense at companies like Google and Meta because these companies spend such a large amount of money on computer resources to begin with.

Curious what the author is thinking of when calling this a "scripting language"? I personally don't have much trouble imagining a strongly-typed scripting language, but that definitely goes against the flow of the past couple of decades. Is it that it is garbage collected? That's about all I can see that would make this immediately obviously a "scripting language". It doesn't seem like it ought to be intrinsically as slow as what usually gets called a "scripting language".

To be clear, this is an honest question, and possibly something the author should consider answering, intended as feedback, not a criticism. I'm open to it. I'm also curious and I'm sure I'm not the only one. (Either way I definitely would suggest mentioning if it's garbage collected or not. It's an important point.)
Technically 25 years since Hashcash was first proposed. I'd argue it could have had value sticking to that original application in preventing network spam, but instead it turns out people are more interested in storing the proof-of-work tokens on a blockchain and selling them, as if collecting and trading postage stamps had become more widespread than actually sending mail with them, to the extent that at least some people and a few entire countries proposed replacing currency with postage stamps.

Yes, I just think calling it a “jobs program” misses some of the nuance. You could ostensibly have the same number of jobs but much more political risk by concentrating them in one geographic area.

The political risk is the more salient point to me, and jobs is just a way to mitigate it. (You could also, for example, mitigate it with less productive means like lobbying)

(Suppliers is a different story. A lot of time NASA is handcuffed by which suppliers actually want work with them. There’s a lot of hoops to jump through and many suppliers just don’t find it worth the hassle)

The maximum zone by distance in the UK would be Zone 4 - (Almost) All points within the British Isles are < 600 miles from each other.
Has anyone read The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder? Could this be made into a movie?

"The Soul of a New Machine is a non-fiction book written by Tracy Kidder and published in 1981. It chronicles the experiences of a computer engineering team racing to design a next-generation computer at a blistering pace under tremendous pressure. The machine was launched in 1980 as the Data General Eclipse MV/8000.[1]

The book, whose author was described by the New York Times as having "elevated it to a high level of narrative art"[2] is "about real people working on a real computer for a real company,"[3] and it won the 1982 National Book Award for Nonfiction[4] and a Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction."

Pretty much everyone credible has been warning people to get off all exchanges, since well, forever. Because you can't (and shouldn't) "trust" someone. If you want to trust someone, go to a bank. This isn't really too much a matter of "secret knowledge", but historical fact. But, hope springs eternal.

And, self-referential Crap Coins (like Luna) are just, well, insane at first glance. Trust-based "Staking" for returns w/ no revenue model? Nuts! But, I've been modelling the behavior of wealth-backed currency systems for 15 years, so maybe it seemed obvious to me. I've been boring people to death with warnings about these for as long as they've existed. Again, this time it's different!

And, the risks to all but the absolutely largest PoW and PoS networks are well known (relatively trivial 51% attack, see OFAC "compliance" disaster). And to "permissioned" networks (XRP, etc.); perfect for CBDCs, for liberty not so much. And the list goes on...

So, spare me the "No True Scottsman" whitewash.

The signs were all there, and the warnings were blaring. Dedicated, competent and highly-funded attackers are at work. Central/commercial banks, Treasuries, etc. cannot abide any fire-exit that is not chained shut, for what's coming.

So, the stakes for attackers are high. The stakes for liberty-valuing citizens: even higher.

Buckle up.

I think BSP was kind of obsolete even when it was used in Source 1, but was left in because removing it would have required changing a lot of code for no real benefit. The blocky brush-based level geometry system from GoldSrc still remained, but they added a lot of higher-fidelity features on top of it. IIRC, the level editing pipeline code for things like PVS and baked lighting were still based on code from GoldSrc. Better, newer techniques existed but what Valve had wasn't broken, so why fix it?

Weird. I personally consider a modified timestamp more confusing/worrying than an old post being on the front page, as the former modifies something that should be immutable, while the latter doesn't.

Edit: Semi-related issue for comparison: one time, a contact DMed me on Discord to ask where a certain event was going to be held. Before I saw the message, she found the answer through other means and thus "helpfully" deleted her message to me.

Same problem: that actually makes it more confusing because I see inconsistent state: the notification lives on in my phone, but it's no longer present in the chat history. Better to just say "never mind" than to modify history.

There's a big difference between reporting about something (people choosing to read the news, getting ads on the side), and advertising the threats (people see that advert they didn't expect next to your advert they didn't expect).

Your initial assertion doesn't hold either. For example you can advertise through TrafficJunky way cheaper than on social media. Yet most companies don't.

It's not backwards: you run the fuzzer, you look at the code coverage, and you compare that against what you expect to be tested. Then you update the fuzzing harness to allow it to find missing code paths.

It's far more doable than you are suggesting: fuzzing automatically covers most branches anyway, so you just need to manually deal with the exceptions (which are easy to locate from the code coverage).

I used fuzzing to test an implementation of Raft, and with only a little help, the fuzzer was able to execute every major code path, including dynamic cluster membership changes, network failure and delays. The Raft safety invariants are checked after each step. Does this guarantee that there are no bugs? Of course not. It did however find some very difficult to reproduce issues that would never have been caught during manual testing. And this is with a project not even particularly well suited to fuzzing! A parser is the dream scenario for a fuzzer, you just have to actually run it...
I've been seeing a lot more of these Meta engineering articles on HN - I'm a fan! If you're writing them, keep up the great work!

> That sounds just like Arrow’s impossibility theorem, which shows that in every reasonable preferential voting system, there is a “dictator”, somebody whose preferences match the result. […]

> However, the word “dictator” is a misnomer; the “dictator” is not chosen ahead of time

There are three technical errors here:

(1) Arrow’s theorem doesn’t define a “dictator” as someone whose preferences match the result but as someone whose preferences determines the result with no input from the other voters preferences.

(2) Arrow’s theorem doesn’t say that every reasonable preference voting system has a dictator, it says that no preference voting system satisfies unanimity, pareto-efficiency (if everyone prefers X to Y, the result prefers X to Y), independence of irrelevant alternatives (the result preference between X and Y, depends only on pairwise preferences between X and Y and cannot be changed by changing ballots in a way which retains the same preferences between X and Y), and non-dictatorship.

(3) The dictator may not be preselected (e.g., the “random ballot” method), but the system providing and giving force to the election does force their preferences on everyone else.

Additionally:

Using “reasonable” to describe a voting system which satisfies pareto-efficiency and independence of irrelevant alternatives but not non-dictatorship is…odd. There is a reason that real-world preference voting systems prefer to compromise one or both of the other conditions rather than non-dictatorship in most cases.
