(laughs satanically) Oh, well, Forex rates! Go try to buy USD with RUB for this rate. Go try to wire those USD out of Russia. Go try to withdraw your USD in cash. Go try to export that cash from Russia.

I am sorry for sounding like a jerk, but you don't understand the current situation in Russia. Country is under heavy sanctions and they are mountaining more and more every month. A good chunk of sovereign reserves are just frozen. Country is net exporting not because it has that much goods to offer, but because it cannot import anything. Yuans and rupees (and YTL) are spent immediately to buy anything from China or India or Turkey. "Anything" like on anything not on US/EU blacklist, because of course China, India and Turkey are more interested in avoiding secondary sanctions than profit from trade with official terrorist-state.
I gave current numbers. Surprisingly (and obviously unfortunately) the price change hasn't had an impact on energy consumption commensurate with the drop. There's a lot that goes into it - for instance cost basis of power: theft of power, graft, corruption, etc. If you're able to steal the power then it doesn't matter much so long as you can afford new miners.

tl;dr: price per coin represents something of a bounding function on consumption of resources (including mining hardware and electricity) but it's not as tightly correlated as hoped.

My point though is the idea all that consumption has been papered over by what I assume is buying some offsets - and now it's magically carbon neutral - is silly and obviously wrong.
This is incorrect. The usd in existence are just reserves. They are not actual spendable money beyond circulating somewhere inside the plumbings of global banking. Said plumbings are things even experts do not fully grasp so I’ll assume no one on this forum has read and understood it. Money did not enter the economy at the same rate it was printed. This is why all the money velocity charts are only shared by charlatans on finance twitter who mostly haven’t spent more than a few years at a serious desk before thinking they understood everything and took off. If you remained inside a high earning position with that level of knowledge, they’d get rid of you really fucking quickly.
I haven't seen any evidence that we can be 5x productive. Do you have any data to back your argument?

The question is whether we should hold them legally accountable to have that knowledge (or at least having done some basic research). In some sense, being a brand ambassador is to lend your credibility and honor to a product. Whether society is better or worse is an open question, as there would be pretty obvious workarounds and it might just add noise to the regulations.

I do think people should be generally accountable for what they promote. Otherwise there is an open loop, where individuals and companies can get the upside without a corresponding downside of accountability. That inherently unbalanced the scales, which is a bad incentive.
I think this just further emphasizes Larry David's genius. His involvement is not like the others.
Preamble - I will be downvoted for sure, but let me still post it.

The oldest software system known to us, and in continuous use would be 'religion'. The hardware in this case is obviously humans. If you observe, the computer and its I/O all are derived from the hardware known to humans, and it is the human itself.

If you see, the hardware features rarely changed, but the software in this case updated and adapted to all situations and has been running for many centuries now. It probably can be related to STUXNET or affects only certain type of hardware. I know this is not the original post about, but this just came out as a thought.
> Now, I'm not a computer scientist nor a mathematician or logician. So I could be wrong. If so, I would be interested in knowing how I'm wrong, as I've never seen this issue being discussed in a thorough way.

Rice's theorem is much easier for computers with finite memory than for those with infinite memory. This is because a finite amount of memory gives a bound on the combined size of an analyzing program and the analyzed program. In particular, the only program that can analyze all programs is the empty program.

For your proposed example, a cycle detection program executed on a computer with finite memory cannot analyze all programs the computer can execute (unless it doesn't analyze them at all). Consequently, if there are both programs that halt and programs that do not, the computer cannot determine whether they have a cycle or not, i.e. halting is undecidable unless it is trivially decidable.

I'd be curious whether this suffices to convince you the halting problem exists for computers in the real world as well. If not, I'd be curious to read your objections.

I play a ton of stuff on my M1 iPad. My desktop is still an Intel Mac Pro, but I’ve played tons of games on it over the years. I occasionally play a AAA game on it when there’s a port, but those don’t interest me too much. I have Steam on the Mac and Apple Arcade on my Mac, iPhone, iPad, and AppleTV. I tend to avoid Steam when possible because it’s a terrible application, but some games are only available there. Otherwise, I lean towards Apple Arcade because it avoids all the loot boxes, in-app purchases and other crap that makes games so toxic. I’d love for even more games to be available on Apple’s devices, as would others I know.
> or by allowing it to exceed the resource bound.

Exactly.

When running A, in some cases you would necessarily need more memory to run it than the memory bound that you defined for the input program, if you want it to work for all input programs without mistakes and without saying "don't know".

But that doesn't say anything about the time complexity, or does it?
My guess is that you do not live in a climate that resembles, say, the British Isles. Goretex was a total game changer in these environments (and as noted by other commenters, similarly in the PNW in N.America).

> If it's not raining you'll be way more comfortable with plain fabric, especially wool. If it is raining, you'll be just as comfortable in a plastic raincoat (especially polyurethane) with pit zips, and you will stay dry a lot longer in a heavy pour.

I grew up wearing both, and then later added waxed cotton. Sorry, just ick.

You can have my goretex jackets (Arcteryx, Berghaus, Mountain Equipment) when you pry them from the fingers of my not-so-cold, only-slightly-wet dead hands.
It's not supply and demand, though, because the increases are well beyond vacancy pressures.

I currently live in a large luxury apartment complex in a cosmopolitan city with a moderately high vacancy rate. I'm about to move out because of a large rent increase.

Easily half the units in my complex are empty. Any reasonable person would look at that and say "gee, we need to bring prices down so that we have higher occupancy. Every month that a unit stands empty we're losing a whole month's rent."

Instead they use RealPage. It's obvious when a complex does this because the prices change day by day and negotiation is impossible. All the other apartment complexes in this city are using the same software. Even if RealPage isn't a collusive conspiracy any error in their pricing algorithm affects the entire city.

Rent on private houses are not set by RealPage so you can rent a large house here for what an apartment costs. Apartments are uniformly priced well above the "real" market price set by supply and demand. The entire city's vacancy slice is concentrated in the apartment buildings.

In order to rent apartments at above market prices the apartments here have gotten slack about income verification and background checks. The only people who want to rent an apartment for well above a mortgage payment are small-time drug-dealers who have enough income to pay but not enough clean income to get a mortgage.

RealPage is a market-distorting force. Inherently. In order to not distort the market they'd have to always evaluate supply and demand correctly.
Hmm true, apart from apps those are all available outside of android so I didn't really consider it.

Just a suggestion to the authors - if you want to get people on the platform excited about your work, maybe don’t shit all over the platform. You did something great. Emphasize that. Leave the editorializing out. Yes, Apple does things differently than other manufacturers and sometimes that makes things more difficult for what your trying to do. Every platform has these issues, just in different places. Other than that, it looks like a really neat project. Best of luck!
It is indeed a fuckup. But you're implying that the solution is communism.

Since I was born in a communist country, I can tell you this: it's easy to show low prices on paper. It's when you need to deliver the goods that's a bit more complex. People were paying low rent, but couldn't move from one city to another one. You would a job when you finished college. If you didn't like it, well, you didn't need to like everything in life. You'd get a place to rent too. You didn't like it? It was a free country, you were free to not like it. Just not free to express your various dislikes.
Letting other countries run intelligence ops on you isn’t actually beneficial, even if you enjoy it at the time.

(No, the president’s son didn’t actually leave a laptop at the repair shop of a blind man in a different state and then not come back for it. And while some emails were verified through DKIM, the one you specifically mentioned wasn’t.)
this reeks of something we see so often recently. implying there is a “panic” or a “hysteria” when there just isn’t.

are there occasionally people who say this is something which may upend art? of course. but is there a “panic”?

the people this type of clickbait immediately grabs are those who seem to enjoy explaining why “the panicky and the hysterical” are wrong wrong wrong.

but ultimately most of the time they seem to be attacking a ghost.

Even of those who don't, some of them may still have paid for the game they are downloading. Dumping the keys/games from your Switch requires hacking it, and some people are hesitant about doing that (you might brick your Switch, or Nintendo might ban it from their online services.) Or, you might only own a recent revision–which are far more difficult to hack than the first revisions were.

> For your proposed example, a cycle detection program executed on a computer with finite memory cannot analyze all programs the computer can execute

That is correct. A cycle detection program that can analyze all input programs with a memory bound of "N bytes" would need more than N bytes of memory to run for some input programs.

For example, the tortoise and hare algorithm needs at most 2*N bytes of memory to analyze any program that runs with a memory limit of N bytes.

> I'd be curious whether this suffices to convince you the halting problem exists for computers in the real world as well. If not, I'd be curious to read your objections.

It does not. That only means that you if you, say, want to analyze how a program behaves when ran in a computer with 16 GB of state, you need to analyze it on a computer that has more than 16 GB of state.

It would be an incredibly useful analysis if we could discover time-efficient algorithms to accomplish this.

> The idea that Russia is holding a gun to China's head just doesn't make sense.

You are absolutely right, because it is the other way around. China doesn't want to have problem with US and EU for dealing with Russia in USD or EUR, so it demands Russia to trade in yuans. Russia is therefore forced to sell its' oil and gas for yuans for the price set by China. The only leverage out of that situation is to trade with India and Turkey in rupees and liras, but India and Turkey can't offer lots of goods only China can.
I'm an avid hiker/backpacker/runner and tend to agree re Gore-Tex clothing, but I do like having it in footwear for hiking in wet areas. It very obviously doesn't breathe as well as advertised, and I'd never want to wear a GTX jacket or pants while working up a sweat, but on muddy 20+ mile hikes with friends whose breathable mesh trail runners got wet and stayed wet all day, my feet have always been in way better shape wearing GTX hiking shoes. For shorter, sweaty trail runs, though, I'd take the mesh over Gore-Tex all day.
I know this is hammered to death on HN, but you could definitely argue memory safety is a reason not to use systems languages for anything else.

I don't think he wanted to lean right. He started leaning right when the right started cheering for him, and he, as a man apparently deeply insecure, craving approval and attention, went along (I mean why else be on Twitter, memeing 24/7, after all).

I believe he was honest when he spoke about how Twitter should be a neutral public square with no political leanings and so on. But it's one thing to want something, another to have a plan for it, and yet another to execute that plan properly.

He thought he can improvise and good things will happen. Instead he got tricked by wingnuts into destroying his $44B investment.
We are giving you facts which are pertinent to this thread. Please provide a factual rebuttal of your own rather than claiming "conspiracy", which this is not.
I find that an immensely shallow write up.

Yes, GT is not 100% waterproof. It's also not breathable like cotton or untreated polyester.

However, the right path IMO is to compare GT to the alternatives, and when you do this it is absolutely clear to me that it's better. More waterproof than very breathable fabrics, more breathable than very waterproof fabrics. The former get you (very) wet from the outside, the latter get you (very) wet from the inside; GT gets you a bit wet from both.

Nobody has made the "perfect" fabric for wet conditions because it likely cannot exist. The fact that GT is not this mythical "perfect" fabric does not, for me, detract very much from it being measurably and experientially superior to the alternatives.
Once in the early 90s, I was attached to a consulting firm whose primary goal was helping businesses get onto the Information Superhighway all the CEOs were buzzing about.

We were granted a guided tour one night of a facility at the top of a skyscraper in San Diego. It was shrouded in mystery and government TLA programs. My boss was explaining parts of it to me.

He said this is a TEMPEST secure facility. I'd never heard the term but when he described the principle to me it made a lot of sense. My father is a radio buff and raised me to learn all about electromagnetic stuff. The facility had conditioned power lines and shielded walls and partitions that could block EMR effectively to keep computing information safe from prying eyes.

There were other fascinating Top Secret features of the facility that were explained to me that night. Of course the facility was not in operation and unmanned at the time of our unclassified tour. I was gobsmacked at the depth of real bona fide security measures and countermeasures, even in those primitive times.
