I don't think we've conquered biology to quite the degree needed to make that a sensible path to plan for.
Nope, see reply to the sibling comment.

If the OVERALL rate of exploration of the keyspace of valid hashes halves, the remaining half will take twice as long (on average) to find the winning value.

Whoever finds a winning value first stops the contest.

If I am 1% of the networks hashrate, and everyone but me disappears, my odds are indeed 100% of finding the next block - but that's not the right analogy here, because there is always someone else looking, and whoever is the first to find it wins.

The time you could expect that to take, if all but 1% of the hashrate disappears, is going to be 100x of the time (on average) it would take with the original hashrate. Unless it takes so long the difficulty target reduces, of course, and the odds change.

This is done infrequently to avoid someone gaming the system by kicking everyone else off to start being the sole miner with an economic amount of $$ spent.

You got lost at your example b I think because you seem to think that the odds of any particular hash attempt being a win have something to do with current aggregate hashrate (which is what we're discussing changing), but it does not. It only changes the odds of it being a match IN TIME.

With network hash rate being a rate (aka value over time), halving the value, doubles the time to completion on average.

The odds of any specific hash being a win is set by the difficulty target, which is based on HISTORIC AVERAGE hash rate, and only adjusts infrequently. When that is adjusted, it changes the odds. But that is done independently of this whole 'suddenly half the network disappears' event.
It remains to be seen with how much enforcement this will receive. If the remedy is that Amazon deplatforms the seller and just gets random, trivial fines now and again, this could be totally useless.
Yes, uninformed people for instance, are a bane on society.
So he is Ok with unbundling everything but collections. What is a collection? What makes todos and contacts special, but not, say, movies or books ? I don't think The line is so clear cut.

He has a point though: We need better "generic no-code" Database software. Some features of calibre (like the hierarchical tags) make me wish I could use it for many other types (and it does not work well). The same for Zotero (and I was more successful in turning it into a bookmarks manager and even a simple movie catalogue)

This is simply not true. Indigenous peoples of mesoamerica have drunk fermented maize beverages for as long as maize has been cultivated. Tejuino is still a quite popular drink in Mexico.

Arguably what has changed is the ABV of such beverages. Post-industrial alcohol percentages are way higher than what precolonial mesoamericans, ancient Greeks, and vikings we're drinking

I was a peloton skeptic and now love it. I am not sure road simulation is the real selling point. Yes it's better than looking at a wall but you can as well look at any random video ( including of roads)

The by far chief value of peloton is access to the class library. If you find rising boring and do better w an engaging instructor (as turns out is the case for me) then it's well worth it
Sadly no. Well, probaby depends on person and what you like. But you'll be very disappointed if you consider Peloton to be something more than bike + tablet
I also don't have experience with it, but have heard from friends that a big part of the appeal is that there are certain trainers that you can follow. I guess they're like influencers/trainers, that "ride" along with you and have subscribers or something. It's also a monthly fee. Personally I'd rather use a regular bike and listen to an audiobook.
I use a single folder of files along with a script that can fuzzy search said folder. It works perfectly.

Knowledge is messy and doesn't really conform to a database schema. Certainly not one you would want to write :) I think a better approach would be to find a way to insert all these notes into something like ChatGPT.
I think that’s a gross oversimplification of the history of political violence in Weimar Germany. Much of the Nazi’s rise to power in Weimar Germany came from their paramilitary forces, the SA and SS. The state was unable to control or suppress those forces. Most other political parties had their own paramilitary wing, including right wing parties besides the Nazis and left wing parties like the KPD and SPD. Left wing parties unilaterally standing down their paramilitary forces while other parties didn’t wouldn’t have prevented the Nazi rise to power.
Sounds like bad idea. But assuming you have no choice and need to leave your house you still need to put the snow somewhere that you are digging out. Are you going to fill up your house with it?
Yes they’d be at a disadvantage. Wouldn’t you still make that choice? Why would you voluntarily stay in a place so poor? Can it really get any worse?

(OP) I'm reading conflicting articles on how available seller details will be.

Going by this quote from eBay, it seems that seller info will be very available: "And if you reach an annual total revenue of $20,000, we’re required to include your name (or company name) and full physical address in purchase confirmation emails and order details, but there are some exceptions." ref: https://www.valueaddedresource.net/what-sellers-need-to-know...

Meanwhile Etsy was warning it's sellers that they would be at some risk. Etsy users on Reddit were wondering if Etsy was overblowing the issue. ref: https://old.reddit.com/r/EtsySellers/comments/nilj9n/the_inf...

I don't have many 6E devices, my M1 Macbook air can get 600Mbps from my 6E Access Point, where my old(ac) AP would get about 180Mbps. So, I should be able to close to max out the 2.5gb uplink with 4 devices (quad-channel)... I don't have anything that needs that at the moment. Aside from file xfer to/from my NAS.

Will say, as far as I'm concerned not seeing a need to upgrade any time soon for my own needs. Short of another project where I regularly have to xfer a couple hundred gigs of files, where my internet provider is 1gb down, 40mb up.

Musk's big win was making EVs luxury cars and having rich people subsidize his research (along with billions from the gov't). That gave him a lot of space to collect real-time research data for years.

It is interesting that you managed to use three logical fallacies in one post: a strawman, a false dichotomy, and a no true scotsman.

A strawman because you invented "legislation to have a lesser product." This is a deadly product we are talking about. It is a public safety issue. You should probably clarify what you mean by this because I only assume you referring to banning misleading labeling of dangerous products, like calling something ADAS5 that really isn't.

A false dichotomy because there are more than two choices. You can have competing products that excel at different areas in and some cases are better, depending on the context. In this space you can have "inferior" EVs (I'm imagining cases where they are inferioir, like mileage and ease of use) to ICEs and still be a choice for short commuters. You don't offer that choice, and that's just one alt, hence the fallacy.

No true scotsman because you made up the term "natural choice" to imply the answer is obvious without giving and justification: basically set it up so that whatever you decide as "natural" is the correct answer, and anything else is not a correct answer, and that can move based on your argument. This undermines the choice you give.

I can go further: consumers will absolutely "suck up" (putting aside the issues with your framing). For example I'm fine with legislation that delegates the size, speed, and efficiency of cars, and so are hundreds of millions of Americans that vote for things like this. In fact I wish there were more laws to shrink the size of vanity trucks that are simply monstrous for no reason. There are decades of evidence showing the damage that fast, huge, inefficient cars inflict on society.

You used to be able to hide the red notification with uBlock Origin. I don’t know if it still works though.
Yep, personal risk may be wildy different than a population risk.

As someone who lives in a sparsely populated, rural and mountainous area in Greece, the risk of being killed in a car accident still exists but it is a lot different than city accidents. Seatbelts, car mirrors, airbags are all mandated by the government.

Mirrors are not so useful, because not many cars are driving on the road at any given time. Most motorcycles do not have even one mirror because they are useless. Animals may cross the road, sharp rocks may have fallen on the street which can cause a vehicle to literally fall of a cliff. Good luck hoping for an airbag to save your life, while you are on a 10-20 meter fall.

Safety is still provided by the car gizmos, albeit to a very small negligible amount of the local population. Safety measures mandated from the government to the car manufacturers are more relevant to big cities than here.

Dangerity on the other hand, the ability to be in danger, is more preferable when it is cheaper. The car gizmos, take up space, and cost money. Safety is not always better, and when it costs too much money, every normal person should fear safety, and take the side of dangerity instead.

A normal non fat person, who exercises once in a while, and is reasonably mindful of their eating habits, should definitely choose the side of dangerity in case of Covid. Safety in that case costs too much money, and it should definitely be avoided.
As the joke goes, Win32 is the Linux ABI.

There are a lot of baffling decisions by Microsoft’s Windows division, but their extreme dedication towards backward compatibility is nothing short of Herculean.

Sometimes I wish they’d split up Windows in an ultra-slow ‘Enterprise’ ring and a move-fast (think about the speed of macOS changes) ‘consumer’ ring, where they could drop much of the legacy cruft in trade for speedy/forced improvements. Think macOS going fully 64 bit, making the system image immutable, etc.

Hell, imagine if they’d allowed the Xbox One, X and S to run Windows 11 in S mode. Instant cheap performant computer for the layperson! And with it running S mode, they’d make their money through the Microsoft Store.

Usually tracking down old versions of libraries works, except when it doesn't of course. If the source is available, I think "just compile it" is kind of okay to be honest; it's usually not that hard, and if it is, then that's kind of a problem with that software's build system IMHO.

I compiled xv from 1994 the other day on my Linux box; just has to make a tiny patch to fix an include (lots of warning, but it compiles and runs).

That said, there's some room for improvement. For example pkg-config/pkgconf could automatically suggest which packages to install if "pkg-config --libs x11" fails, or some other distro-agnostic way for people to track down dependencies.

If you're shipping a binary program without source (i.e. a game, for example, which tend to be closed source) you should ship the libraries or compile things statically. Some of the older Linux games on gog.com can be a bit tricky to run on modern systems due to this.
There is definitely truth to this, I agree.

I have no idea why you are getting downvoted, as there is a lot of good evidence supporting your position. The book "Active Measures: The Secret History of Disinformation and Political Warfare" by Thomas Rid spends a great deal of time talking about this. I think the evidence so far shows that the power station attacks are likely linked to loosely affiliated white supremacist groups. It is unknown if Russia is funding them, but if you recall, Russia was linked to several secessionist groups in the US, with the head of the California group eventually moving to Russia.

About half way through wiring my home... UV+Shielded Cat 6E (2 runs are outside). I bought a single 8-port 10g switch, which will cover most of the runs, I'm also using a 2.5g switch. My NAS and my desktop are really the only two devices that support 10gb currently, so not a big deal either way.
Jetbrains Rider. I've been against IDEs in the past but only used free ones, Eclipse and Visual Studio. Rider is so much better. It uses less ram, feels faster and requires less setup.

NopCommerce is an amazing free platform. I've worked with a few web frameworks in the past but not with ASP.net (the framework Nop is built on). Nop is a really nice platform. The speed is incredible and figuring out how the code works is intuitive. Almost everything you need for an online store is there out of the box, or available as a plugin. Writing your own plugins is easy.

I say the question "why do honeybees die when they sting" is interesting, but the answer need not necessarily be made in an evolutionary framework. A scientifically testable hypothesis would be more productive, or simply appreciate the pros and cons of a suicidal stinger without trying to overfit an evolutionary model.
The ones I’m familiar with (clojure and haskell) are a joy to work with. These languages have conquered my heart!
Yeah. I think typescript has better predicate functions, maybe a slightly worse behavior in most places, and Flow is much much faster. But all of those differences get swamped by the "everyone is using it" effect. Typescript "won" in some vague narrative/consensus sense, so we standardise on it, and we get the ecosystem benefit of types existing for every NPM package.
I just want country of origin listed somewhere. There's a big difference between shipping from Michigan to California versus Hong Kong and California. Shipping estimates have been really wrong since before the pandemic.

Maybe put flags next to brand nanes in filters? I don't recognize 90% of the brands on Amazon and that filter is useless to me, unless I could tell is was a domestic or foreign brand. Again, just trying to determine if I can wait 2 weeks or 2 months for things like birthday gifts.
No, they don't. In the Pennsylvania case, Amazon claimed they were unable to find the seller. That's why they couldn't pass the buck to the seller.
It's a bit to do with any academic endeavour, give something common and simple a profound name and you can write a paper describing it.
Articles like these (which can generally be grouped under the "what the hell is Google doing with my account and my data, and why can't I reach out to a human to get out of this Kafkaesque nightmare?") are popping on HN on a daily basis.

I've previously been reported for commenting on a previous article that Google is a faceless company that produces shitty products and it doesn't actually doesn't give a shit of user experience, negative feedback nor deleting/locking accounts (and, often, years of work) for no clear reasons.

Somebody responded "on HN we often hear only one side of the story (people getting a negative experience with Google) and not Google's side".

So, since many Google employees are also here on HN, I ask you folks: do you have any words to say in defense of these crappy policies?

If yes, then I'm happy to change my mind about Google, and eat back all the countless offenses I've thrown at the company over the years if convinced by enough plausible arguments.

If no Google employees can come here (or, even better, directly reach out to those impacted by their bad decisions) and defend their policies, then I abide to my words: Google is a shitty company that produces shitty products, it is proud of being a faceless company that doesn't care about supporting users (even though it makes a lot of money out of their data), it makes horrible business decisions, and it leaves people in the dark when locked out of their accounts. Such companies, in a healthy market with enough competition, deserve to rot and fail and be mourned by nobody.

Two Tacoma Power substations, one PSE facility vandalized Christmas Day, authorities [Dec. 25, 2022]
https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/tacoma-power-says-...

"Sunday marked the latest incidents in a string of attacks on electricity substations in Washington and Oregon this winter. The motives are unclear. But energy experts have warned the power grid is a prize target for domestic terrorists.

A U.S. Department of Homeland Security memo warned in January that extremist groups have been creating “credible, specific plans” to attack power facilities since at least 2020. This month, two North Carolina electricity substations were shot up and damaged, causing thousands of people to lose power."
