You get special treatment when you are rich already now. It's more advanced and optimal version of what there is now.

Right now if you are rich you can just hire a driver and a luxury car, and be much more wasteful with your resources, so I don't see the difference in terms of inequality.

For what to listen to I would suggest audiobooks. Go for nonfiction that's really compelling to you, or that long form fiction you've always wanted to read (lord of the rings perhaps). With 4 hours per days you'll be working through multiple books per week. You might even look back on this time as the delightful period when you got to read all those book you'd always wanted to.

Shorter commute would be preferable but above would be my suggestion till then.
Neither this or the GGP is remotely an argument that less information makes for a better market, though.
I think the problem with slow user interfaces is that the programmers who knows how to make things fast usually want to work on more interesting algorithms instead of optimising UI interactions. I built model evaluators at Google so I used a lot of these algorithms, specifically topological sort is useful in so many places and you can't really make a generic solution for it to put in a library, and different parsing methods. When doing this I had to look at how many nanoseconds different ways to do things costs, because things are run billions of times on large models in production so it is very expensive.

The people on that team were really good at making things run fast, but I haven't seen that kind of people doing user interfaces, instead even at Google some internal pages took minutes to load with barely any data, I could run a batch job spinning up thousands of servers over terabytes of data in the time it took just to view my account in that service. The silver lining is that Google has many alternatives for everything so I could use something else instead.

I guess a part of it is that Google pays for server compute, but not client compute, so your computer running slowly isn't a big deal compared to their server costs, so the optimizing programmers gets placed on backends. I did work on message routers as well, they have to be blazing fast, so I know how to make network requests fasts, the only reason the UI's are slow is that the companies aren't prioritizing it.
I knew people who loved doing that. One of them told me recently that conspiracism has ruined the experience. It is very hard to talk to someone today without eventually hearing a "Did you know that" followed by a baseless conspiracy theory.

> Right now if you dropped a Waymo and Tesla FSD on an unsealed road in Michigan, one of them will drive at least as well as a human learner driver and the other will probably refuse to move

One will drive and likely get into an accident, and the other will responsibly not do what it wasn't designed for. But if you took away Waymo's responsible disposition, I'm sure it would drive better than the Tesla, because it's just way further along in development, more and better sensors, more rigorous testing and simulations, more corner cases that absolutely had to be dealt with to roll out a real self-driving product.

There's your answer. The author even quoted someone in the conclusion who said that this was only possible due to her position and connections.

> religion is a great "forcing function" for a lot of healthy behavior

And for a lot of unhealthy behavior too.
It doesn’t require being anywhere in particular on the spectrum to hate inconsistencies and “it’s not supposed to be like that but that’s how it is in practice” unspoken policies BS. And especially selective enforcement, which I think is a symptom of corruption.

At least, I don’t think I have that, but I sure hate the unfortunate fact that the world (and this seems to be universal, not specific to any country or culture) is that way.
That might explain why you are so touchy but it doesn't explain why you failed to disclose that salient fact in your silly argument. Maybe you have a false conscience and knew it would immediately discredit you? But those instincts combined with general ignorance is what makes good journalists, I'm sorry to say.

Where is the evidence it doesn't use any PID? The wobbling described in the parent is a very PID like behavior (poorly tuned)
But it's clearly the feature that people want and expect to be there. This is the most upvoted issue on CSS WG Github[0] and the StackOverflow question how to do it in CSS has 3 pages of answers (spoiler-alert: there is no nice way to do it only with CSS).

> The browser doesn't know what the auto size is any more than you do until it performs a layout (reflow). Layouts are expensive and must be minimized. And what if content is changed in the middle of the transition? Should it recalculate the new auto size? Maybe we will get it some day, but there are good reasons to be cautious.

Unfortunately these are good questions to answer and probably the reason browsers don't have it yet.

Last time I had to animate `width:auto` and `height:auto` I came up with quite a clever idea. I wrote `width: var(--width-from-js, auto)` and `height: var(--height-from-js, auto)` (CSS Variables (called CSS Custom Property[2]) with a fallback to `auto` when the variable is not defined) and later in JS I calculated the real width and height (using `getComputedStyle` or `getBoundingClientRect`) and just set `--width-from-js` and `--height-from-js` as inline style on the element. I also added event handler for the event that could change the size of this element (like browser window resize) and rerun this code to set updated CSS Property valaues.

This way the changes required in JS were minimal, most of the things was in CSS. As a plus when one day browser would support animation to `auto` I would only have to delete the JS code.

I need to write about this technique on this 3-pages stackoverflow question one day ;)

Interesting observation was that when there was an animation in progress and the code for calculating the width of the element had run (because I resized the browser window) then the animation would just stop. I wouldn't mind if this was also the behavior if browsers would someday support animation of `width/height: auto` natively.

> If Ethereum just transferred ETH, it could do 700 tx/sec

So... Still an order of magnitude less than Visa.

> A lot of Ethereum transactions are more complex and use more gas.

How complex are they, are they a significant number, and dies this explain the abysmal transaction rates?

Visa aside, on Singles Day AliPay does 1 to 1.5 billion transactions in one day.

Okay. AliPay is an outlier. Klarna does about 2 million transactions per day, an average of 23 per second (it's significantly higher during peak hours, and lower during off-peak hours. Source: worked at Klarna). The transaction includes: client lookup (a complicated affair that differs from country to country and session to session), credit score calculation, order set up, payment (out of a several dozen different options) set up... all while conforming to banking and local regulations across 45 countries. Anything in eth anywhere close to that complexity-wise?

> Second, second-layer "rollups" already support transaction rates up to a couple thousand per second

So layer 2 batches transaction into a batch that then gets batched on layer 1 into a bugger batch that is then written in one go to the blockchain.

Congrats, you've reinvented batch processing.
> The current treatment of peanut allergies is already an over-reaction.

The current treatment of peanut allergies affecting people older than infants/toddlers is probably not an overreaction to the situation created by the fact that for a period until very recently (and maybe still now, as there is some social inertia), the attempt to prevent exposure in infants/toddlers was an overreaction, that produced a much greater number of very severe allergies than otherwise would have existed.
Yeah, I agree with you actually. I’ve learned that people here are so unable to hear that message I have to tone it down a bit, but you’re right that the US aggressively pursues surveillance, and covert and overt military action against everyone on Earth.

Are you sure it is anything to do with Racism? I mean you have no evidence of that and it's a large assumption on your part?

London has a huge black community and non-white residents, it's a very multicultural place, I would be surprised if the actual reason is pure racism, particularly at a restaurant.

If the restaurant has hired black women to work there, it's a bit odd that they are turning away customers for being black. Maybe there was another reason the person didn't like the look of you? Maybe just someone having a rough day and didn't want to serve any more customers etc, I wouldn't jump straight to racism, all you know is that you were turned away when they had a table, but the reason is an unknown unknown.

You say "You don't know what to make of this" but then your title says 'racism'... the reality is something odd happened that you don't know what, I wouldn't hold on to that, just get on with your day, there are plenty of real dicks and real bad apples to deal with, rather than assuming that because something strange happened it was for this reason.

I'm not knocking you, you likely feel this way for very justified reasons, i.e there are a lot of racists out there and it is an issue you have to deal with that you should not, but it's not worth adding to that with something you don't for sure know is the reason.
yes.

> Choices are: use custodial staking (share your keys with custodian - risky), use non-custodial staking (keeps your keys private but has costs e.g. Lido charges 10% of your staking rewards), use an L2 coin (risks), use a financial proxy for Etherium (ugggh).

Rocketpool is non-custodial, allows you to run your own node with about 17.6 eth (16 eth + 1.6 eth worth of their token), and then earn a commission from the folks contributing the other 16 eth and not running a node. There is a decent amount of smart contract risk and risk around the value of the token, but it is a generally working protocol.

> I guess running your own node means you can’t use a cold wallet, so security costs/risks are high?

To answer the security concern - The staking keys can only be used for validation activities, and can't be used to spend the funds. When depositing the stake, you can specify a normal ethereum address where withdrawn funds will go to, and that address can be controlled with a hardware or cold paper wallet/signer. The worst an attacker who compromised your node and took your staking keys could do is get you slashed (a little more then a 1 eth penalty in normal circumstances), which would be of no benefit to them.
I mean, you aren't wrong. But there is more diversity and challenge in five minutes of many modern games than all of pit fall.

Same goes for many of these algorithms. They are amazing, but also require a simplicity of problem that is hard to pull back to. Worse, they often solidify the program into something that is very rigidly defined and not conducive to change.
Open Source Grindset Explained
You're potentially setting the bar very high, though. Sure, experienced programmers can command very high rates. But even mediocre programmers can make a good living.

The same could very well hold for a coffee plantation. I've seen something like it with an orange/nispero/avocado orchard. Yes, it's easy to make mistakes and it's not easy to get rich. But break-even is quite possibly not that hard to achieve.

As another poster mentioned, these things are very regional. In the orange orchard case, there happens to be a cooperative in almost every larger village in the whole region. You can easily source everything you need there and you can sell your produce wholesale. Both at fair rates, since the neighbors also go there and they pay/get the same. And there's plenty of neighbors who will be willing to help out (although you might also find those who want you to fail to buy your land). And for the day-to-day you can make use of the experience of day labourers that you can pretty much always find in these areas.

> Building communities is a lot of work and takes time.

Have to agree with Thomas here: When people are socialized to be neighborly, then communities tend to form in a short time. Everyone likes to be liked and accepted; signaling friendliness can quickly pay dividends.

We've seen that happen repeatedly on our block in Houston: Young-ish professional couples — not a few of whom are immigrants and/or foreign expats in the energy industry — move onto the block and almost immediately are attending — and often hosting — the Neighborhood Night Out, the holiday parties, etc. (When families with young kids are new to the block, the moms seem especially prone to connecting with the other block moms.)

Maybe pleasure was the wrong word, but they certainly seem to enjoy the terrible situation. It's not very far off, and saying that you're okay with and even love the current setup that helps you at the expense of others isn't a great look.

> would acknowledge that a massive increases in housing density (and therefore population density) does have an effect on existing residents.

Obviously it does, just like increasing the supply of anything has an impact relative to the option of constrained supply.

Realistically, the real solution is radical upzoning at the state or even federal level. Upzoning individual neighborhoods and cities exacerbates the negative side effects of upzoning by concentrating them in small areas. If the population increase is broadly spread out, it'll be much less of an issue.
Uh, that is not what the comment you are relying to likely meant.

Not much different from databases of old. Writing a good sorting algorithms feels excessive in many applications. The number of such algorithms that the planner of a database picks between is rather large.

Pure linear emission implies starting from zero. I agree coins with pre-mines limit fairness from the outset.

In terms of fairness of coin distribution, 100% PoS < Ethereum < Bitcoin < Pure Linear Emission.

PoS effectively ends the distribution of new coins, with everybody able to stake to just preserve their share of the pie.

I'm surprised you are having much success on Digital Ocean. I've found that their whole ASN is often marked as low reputation. For example sending to Microsoft or Apple has always been unreliable for me.

It does seem that it can depend somewhat on what IP you roll. I guess if you get a good one and stick to it you may be able to scrape by with just the ASN reputation holding you back.

Source: I run a service that sends email on Digital Ocean and I have to use third-party services to send to many hosts. (in fact I tend to whitelist inbox providers slowly once we have built some domain reputation)
Looking back into the source article some of the more better performers do actually have heat pumps. It seems one of the mistakes is that some of them do not start heating the batter in advance, while others spendnpower to keep it warm while plugged in.
They can still say it, but it's vague enough to have essentially no meaning. So it makes sense that this meaningless statement wouldn't somehow absolve them from all responsibility for only including the ingredients on the label.
The post says deaths in _houses_ increased due to snake habitat destruction that drove them there. It suggests that could be because of snake death awareness raised by the bounty system, but that feels a step too removed to call it an "unintended consequence".

It's not due to a perverse incentive regardless, though, which is what the original anecdote is supposed to exemplify.
Eh. If the Fed overstepped, then you could see a stop to inflation and a recession, which could lead to lower stock prices and higher bond prices in the short term, as Fed stops the rate increases.
It was a response to a ridiculous claim about the capabilities of bootcamp grads.

They should be doing their job better. There has been a problem with Chinese citizens that go to work in Western high-end facilities and then return with all the IP they took with them. Whether nuclear, biological or industrial. This has happened enough times that it seems to be a pattern and it has been happening for a long time.

I can't tell if it's complacence, incompetence, or fear of being called "racist" for expressing a concern so they just look the other way. Maybe it's a mix of all three.
