Yet you admitted, another kind of services would "presumably not be banned by this bill because it lacks those social media features. Maybe it would be banned by another law, ..." which is in agreement with comments saying that this bill is targeted at Tik Tok.

The irony is that the pedagogic aspect is secondary if those comments are right, but because data which documents how much the people are lacking impulse control is at ridiculous levels, if I am projecting myself for a second. The why you don't face book and study meme applies.

> The PIN does give some added security,

It prevents gas pumps from stealing credit card numbers, which up until chip and pin that was a huge problem.

Same with random non bank ATMs. General advice was either go to a bank ATM or you'd get your credit card # stolen.

> I have no interest in giving a stranger my account number. Heck, for Zelle I'd have to give them my email address and that's already too much.

Zelle's sending limits are way too low. Can't pay rent with it, in the USA, still have to mail a check in many places to pay rent. Sure the bank automates paying mailing the check, but here is the stupid process:

1. Renter tells bank to auto mail a check to landlord
2. Landlord receives paper check, uses mobile phone app to deposit check into their account
3. Bank makes funds instantly available, then at some point someone manually reviews the images of the check to make sure it is real.
3a. If the check is too large, funds are not immediately available.

Or, to put it another way, because neither of our banks don't allow online wire transfers, the easiest way for my wife and I to send each other non-trivial amounts of money is to write a physical check to each other! That is insane.

Why is that? Fusion is not needed, although if it turned out to be cheap that would be nice.
Fusion brings the power of the stars directly to us, without it capturing the energy millions of miles later.
It unlocks a Star Trek, post-scarcity future that PV and wind cannot bring due to their space requirements.

The original Dick Tracy Watch introduced in 1946 didn't have a camera. A newer model featuring a camera came out in a 1964 comic.

I haven't read Dick Tracy in a long time, but if it's still being made I bet Tracy's watch has been upgraded with a bunch of new features the Apple Watch lacks.
When you consider that they laser they used consumed 300 megajoules from the wall plug, in order to send 1.8 megajoules to the target, the fact that they got 2.5 megajoules out looks puny in comparison. Even newer lasers only have 20% wall plug efficiency according to the press conference.

So the important point here is, there was no net energy gain. They spent 300 megajoules to get 2.5 out. The scientists only talk about the 1.8 megajoules of laser energy sent to the target, not about the 300 megajoules of electricity needed to send 1.8 megajoules to the target.
And that is great! My issue is the way the science is reported in the media making it sound like we are on the cusp on some kind of energy revolution, when we very much are not and don’t even have a line of sight on it yet. But then I suppose public hype will lead to Congress dollars and nothing gets done without those.

A real job offer for working in an European Project in the Systems area of CESGA EGI-ACE (Supercomputation Center of Galicia, Advanced computation platform for open science based in data), October 2022. North Spain.

Requisite for the job: Speaking Galician language, or a signed compromise to learn it

Enough said.

EU often seems clueless about were to look or how to attract talent. The job offers sometimes seem redacted by clowns. Example: "We want somebody to work in our L.A headquarters, Requisite, Not living in L.A. for the last three years" (example based in a real case, I had seen also the opposite).

If they have a hiring problem this damage is a totally self-inflicted one.
They are smarter than a blanket ban, create rules that suite the EU, not just a blanket ban.

We already have tens of thousands of nuclear weapons spread across the planet, with only two ever actually being aimed at anyone. Lots of problems but the threat of weapons at this scale are a well-feared thing already.
Absolutely.

This is the key point.

The market is rational. European investors don't target global scale because of language/cultural barriers. And because the US specialises, Europe competes in industries where it has a specialisation. Basic economics is at play.

The US doesn't have a particularly unique or useful culture for founding businesses. It's actually an extremely poor place to do business.

The US has a lingua franca, and economies of scale. That's it.

I have to disagree pretty strongly about the lack of a "sudden burst in utility" between non-pure actor model and the pure actor model. Erlang's (and Elixir's) VM, the BEAM benefits greatly from knowing, with absolute certainty, that it is impossible to express shared state between two actors.

First off, it's garbage collection system: In Erlang, most actors don't get garbage collected at all until the entire actor is terminated and its memory freed. Long-running processes get handled with a little more grace than that, but it's very performant compared to Java's constant scanning.

Likewise, certain language design decisions allow for optimizing the scheduling system: most obviously, Erlang's complete lack of loops. Want to repeat a computation? Recurse. That choice allows for the scheduler to be far more intelligent, because the new function call provides for a great opportunity for the process's thread to be co-opted.

Another example is Erlang's seamless distribution: since no threads can share memory anyway, there's not a fundamental difference between them running on two different CPU cores or two different machines, save for some added latency.

And, of course, the fault tolerance story. The guaranteed lack of shared state between two actors means that the VM can be certain the blast radius of a failing actor is limited to its context. Wipe its memory, move on. This failure handling model turns handling the error conditions of "invalid input", "missing resources", and "Frank from IT has finally snapped and taken a sledgehammer to one of our servers" into qualitatively the same thing: one or more actors have failed, their supervisor needs to respond appropriately.

All these benefits would be diminished or at least qualitatively different (for the worse) in a language that wanted to walk the middle ground.

Well the Madoff trustee's were able to see who received payouts from Madoff due to KYC rules. This allowed the trustee to go to people, most of whom were completely innocent, to ask the to give back some of the money they redeemed from Madoff.

FTX on the other hand has very few KYC docs so the trustees are left with wallet addresses.

Not sure how you contact a wallet address to ask for money back.

A few thoughts from someone who has been around crypto for years:

1. Do not trust any centralized exchange. Hold your own tokens using a secure hardware wallet. Back up your seed phrase securely. This is not really that hard anymore IMO.

2. Let me repeat that, but more emphatically... Centralized exchanges are not to be trusted. They are not "crypto". They are unregulated banks operated by shady characters. Use them as on- and off-ramps from fiat, but get your tokens into a cold wallet ASAP. If you leave your money in them, they _will_ rug-pull you at some point.

3. Crypto token prices are primarily driven by speculation. Do not expect stability. Do not expect a token's price to appreciate just because the project is technically interesting, or solving a real need. Instead, expect prices to fluctuate wildly, mostly in correlation to the same macroeconomic events that impact stocks, with an even higher risk.

4. Not all stablecoins are created equally. Run away from algorithmic stablecoins IMO. Also avoid USDT and any other coins where proof of reserves seem suspicious. I personally prefer USDC. If you _must_ invest in an algo coin, look at DAI, but keep in mind that it is very exposed to USDC as well.

5. USD-pegged stablecoins can all be blacklisted and paused. If they want to do business in dollars, their makers have to accept some degree of US.gov regulation. Do not expect to hold and spend your USDC if the US government wants to stop you.

6. Do your own research, damnit. This is still early days for DeFi and digital assets, and scams are thick on the ground. Do not trust what random internet commentators say, and keep your wits about you.

7. Don't lose hope. While 95% of the economic activity in the space is either scams, fraud, or speculation, the remaining 5% consists of people trying to solve real problems that are not adequately addressed by offline cash and existing payment networks. I know HN loves to point out that crypto is a solution looking for a problem, but the truth is that the current system is not perfect, and crypto brings some much needed transparency and decentralization to the world. Crypto winter is in some ways good for this, as it will disproportionately drive away the scammers and "number go up" crowd, while the real teams will keep building.

Edit, for some specifics of my stack: I use a Ledger Nano X hardware wallet, with Ledger Live for management, Electrum (for Bitcoin), Keplr (for Cosmos ecosystem), and MetaMask (for Ethereum and other Solidity networks). I have a separate Chrome profile that has the latter two extensions installed, and only use it for DeFi crypto things. The only CeFi exchange I use is Coinbase, and I keep my balance there near $0 unless I anticipate a trade within the next 30 days. None of this is financial advice; I'm just a dude on the internet.
Honestly, outside of banking the U.K. is a 3rd world country digital service wise. A lot of countries in the EU have had digital identies for more than 15 years. The U.K hasn't even started.

You want to signup for a digital service from the government, your bank, your insurance company,.. . Well you need to send in a copy of a bill and your passport. And then they will give you a separate login for every service. And it is not even like there are many services you can use.

In Denmark, for example, all communication with the government has been digital for almost 10 years, unless you are exempt. In the U.K. I've experienced places where I had to send in a physical letter.

So yeah, banking is fine, but that is about it. In other places they are at least 10 years behind similar countries.

1/3rds of US medical costs go to billing overhead.

Rust effectively accomplishes this, because mutating a value that's accessible by a different thread requires both interior mutability and a separate Sync trait, meaning that accesses will be properly synchronized. Some types implement this (atomic types, Arc, Mutex, Rwlock) but the default is not to, so the default is that data may only be mutated by a single thread at any given time.
Write letters to companies you're interested in. You should have a relatively standard form letter explaining who you are, what the university is, how great it is, etc, etc. We got a moderate hit rate on those (higher if you consider discounts).

I wonder how much energy each stroke in the largest diesel ship engines has when compared to the energy released by individual bombs/high explosives.
Imagine if we've spent 10% of the current military budget ($600B+) on renewables & fusion. We wouldn't have to fight those wars for resources.
We already have lasers which are an order of magnitude more efficient than the one the lab was using. This is about a proof of concept, not about being an actual power plant.

Also, as I understand it, the whole thing scales up very well. Now that we can "ignite" fusion in the little pellet used for testing, we can scale up to ignite a larger amount of fuel in order to get out much more energy.
At least on my machine, Retry never worked.

> I've noticed my interest in a job tends to drop consistently the longer it takes for a response.

As a software engineer with a long track record, I somehow only just realized this about myself within the last couple months.

With the two fresh data points I have in mind, it wasn't about perceived likelihood of an offer, but about perceived likelihood of it being a good situation if I accepted the offer.

Delays (especially after a great initial call) can be felt as signal about how much they value the role, whether they're excited about me specifically for it (both of which can make the difference between a great role and an awful one), and how well they can execute (e.g., do they have a clout deficit or a huge-corporate bureaucracy that would also be a problem getting things done there).

And if there's a recruiter, HR middleperson, or other communication barrier -- blocking the normal ability to read people and pick up on clues, from direct interaction with a hiring manager or team member -- this signal can be all we have to go on.
I tried to explain this at friendsgiving a few weeks ago. I think roads have gotten wider (and speeds higher and vehicles bigger as a result) to make people feel safe because people feel more out of touch with their vehicles now. People can't parallel park, but if you parallel park a few times on a hill in a standard, you _know_ your car.

To be clear before I continue: I think all cars should go the way of the dodo and we can and should redesign our societies to not be dependent on them because we have the technology and resources to accomplish such a thing, we just waste them. Manufacturing electric cars IS NOT GOING TO REDUCE OUR FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never understood how anyone could think that. You have to mine for the batteries, the metal, you have to smelt it, is all that green? What about the energy to smelt it? To charge it? What about the environmental impacts of Lithium refining? What about the oil needed for all the plastic pieces inside? We absolutely need to abandon cars and start thinking realistically about how to accomplish it _yesterday_.

But while we live on this highway to a mad max hell scape, there is an argument to be made for standard transmissions and their ability to keep the driver engaged and aware. There really is no time to text and drive, or a scenario where you can entirely check out while moving, as you will have to be aware of what your engine and transmission are doing. In an activity that breeds dissociation and distraction, while also demanding your full attention, a standard transmission is the fidget spinner that keeps you present. At least it does me.

Looks like it has better meta-data support and you can mark multiple segments of a video, re-arrange and then do a stream copy to a new file. I've been using VirtualDub for decades (maybe the wrong way) but I think doing the same would have required steam-copying the segments to new files and then appending them together. Not a fan of the interface based on the screenshot but I think it's worth giving it a try.

They put 2.05 MJ in and got 3.15 MJ out. The 300MJ comes from equipment inefficiency- remember this is a research facility to prove plasma physics and ignition itself, mainly designed for weapons research. The fact they got definite fusion at 1.53x input energy is not just breakeven, but net gain. This is the first time ever we've gotten net gain, in any fusion device. A lot of people in gov leadership thought fusion was impossible, the fact they can said they did it, despite 1980s era technology and a shoestring budget for decades, really says something.

ICF is just one fusion technology, and probably not the best one, but fusion in general will probably see a massive budget increase worldwide now that it's been proven it can be done.

I fully expect a working fusion plant of some kind by 2030, assuming funding increases. Once we get them commercialized; coal, wind, solar and other power production will be obsolete for the most part. We can also use fusion heat to separate waste into it's base elements (you can recycle anything!), and help make any process needing a lot of thermal or electrical energy more efficient.

Yes, but I believe that this "wrapping" should be visible on chain. In the sense that there should be a 1:1 mapping between "real" BUSD locked on Ethereum and the number of pegged BUSD on other chains, and that the accounting can be verified in real time. But I haven't verified.
