There truly is no value in crypto. But try researching again and see if you can find any useful value in Bitcoin.
You deserve more upvotes than you're getting, because your question is a fair one, and knowledge that may be obvious to some is going to be totally new to others. Some people would do well to remember that new people are constantly being born, and each person must learn everything from the start. I'm going to copy and paste a few answers from this 6 year old Reddit thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/5xqkxc/e...

> Air traffic controllers think on the fly more than you would assume. They look at their radar scopes and plan each target to work with others by working their speed, altitude, and path. Computers could probably work out these, but then how would they relay that information to pilots?

> Another thing to think about is the vast number of VFR aircraft who are not on a flight plan going A to B. ATC is able to communicate with them, learn their intentions "we saw something neat and would like to orbit here for 5 minutes", and help them see and avoid other aircraft.

> The fact that they are humans who you can talk to is tremendously helpful in emergencies as well. If I'm fighting a sick airplane I might not have the time or focus to find the nearest suitable airport, get weather information and important notices, and plan a descent. A controller watching over me sure can though.

Humans are flexible in a way computers can't be yet.

> All aviation-related technology is tightly regulated and goes through an immense amount of testing and consideration before use.

> All of the obstacles we have around self-driving cars-- "whose fault is it if it crashes", "how do we know it's safe enough before letting it on the road", "do you still need a licensed driver", etc-- are 10x more problematic in the sky. It isn't necessarily harder to automate, but is harder to declare "officially safe enough".

It's not enough for an automated ATC to be somewhat good or decent. There is little margin for error when the consequences of such an error could be the death of hundreds of people and the loss of a multimillion dollar plane. ATC in real life is much more difficult than it appears to casual observers.
I think an aging population pyramid would inevitably cause the same problems, but the response to Covid accelerated them by a few years.
Typically your single piston GA flight will be operating in very different airspace than a 200 seat airline. Just as you can't take a single piston pilot and put in as the pilot in command of a 200 person airliner, ATC personal are not easily hot swappable between airports or airspace.

I don’t get this idea that everyone should finish at the same time ?

why not let kids test into algebra in 8th grade and take pre-algebra when they are ready ?

Devil's advocate: Prove it.
Same fee for every aircraft. Increase until the congestion reduces. This is called a congestion tax, it works.

No need to distinguish between purpose of the flight. If it’s economically important, they will pay.
In America personal vehicles are a necessity unless you live in the core of a city with adequate public transit of which there are only a handful.

They are a necessity if you live in a small town, the suburbs, a rural area, an area with extreme weather, have a family with young children, etc.

* In the US, 93% of households have access to a personal vehicle [0].

* 77.3% of respondents think owning a car is necessary [0]

If we increase taxes on personal vehicles it would disproportionately impact lower income workers who can barely afford to get by as it is. Forcing a single mom on a low income such that she could no longer afford to drive would tax her 10’s of hours every week resulting in untold hardship. It would be a disaster.

What you are advocating would only work if we invested trillions of dollars in transit infrastructure.

Taxation or more debt isn’t enough to pay for that transformation without absolutely destroying the economy and the quality of life of hundreds of millions of Americans.

Personal vehicles are only a luxury if you live in a fantasy.

There really is no comparison unless your goal is to make China look good by distorting the facts. The highest estimate I've seen for deaths on the Trail of Tears is 15K. Iraq was perhaps 100K-200K.

The Chinese killed some 75,000,000 people (mostly their own) in the 20th century.

Plus, why did you make this about the US? Have you forgotten that other democracies exist? I was talking about the human rights track records of democracies in general versus authoritarian governments in general. Democracies consistently have better records. You're the one who decided to cherry pick one of the worse democracies (and still failed to demonstrate that it is as bad as one of the worst authoritarian states).

I think more dancehall reggae, specifically late 80s/early 90s "digital dancehall". Try checking the basslines on stuff like supa cat's album "don dada" [1] and tell me it's not pretty similar to early jungle you hear in artists from the jamaican diaspora such as dillinja [2]. Jungle came out of what was called hardcore in the early 90s and both of those genres are having quite a fun revival lately. People are going to the lengths of busting out old amigas to make this on and play live even.

Oh there's a really good BBC documentary about this, I remember me and some friends watched it years ago and we were laughing about how they made dillinja dress like a total dork ass for the telly, at that point he was still living with his parents apparently haha.

Wow.. I like that at least on a few samples I looked at, the comments have constructed playlists from the constituent songs. Y’know, if you don’t like your songs being interrupted by a smooth voice talking to you about Tupperware.
It's not tone - at least not in the same sense Chinese is a tonal language. Standard Korean does not have tones. Maybe a better term would be intonation: it's similar to how the same English sentence could have multiple meanings, e.g., "I certainly did not see him" vs. "I certainly did not see him."

GP's example sentence would have just two different way to say it, either a plain statement or a question. In either case the pronoun is omitted, so you're supposed to infer it from context.
Curious how your definition of efficiency is somehow "by not encoding information about the subject, such as their relation or plurality, we are able to use less words than a language that does encode that information".

It seems that while it's in the public domain, it's not easily accessible, it really only exists digitized on Getty's servers.

> AI generative art is an easy case of copyright infrigement...

Agreed. An AI model trained on an artist's work without permission is IP infringement and this should be widely understood. Unfortunately, because the technology is new people do not understand this. When Photoshop was new, there was a similar misunderstanding. People could take an artist's work, run it through Photoshop, and then not compensate the artist. It took some time for that to sort out.
It’s a prank.
Keep in mind that lot of smaller banks will advertise fairly high rates like 5-6% for a few months and then fall back down to the prevailing rate or even lower (a HYSA with a better return than treasuries is a red flag).

IMO better to find a bank that is consistently near the top rate, unless you want to deal with the hassle of moving banks quarterly.
> Same language on the front and backend.

Yes, isomorphic JS.

With React it can be annoying if you have a component that you never intended to run on the server and you get a hydration warning. It also complicates the decision of what language to use on the backend. It is often useful though.
Minidumps only contain the stack, yes, along with additional metadata, but not the original executable. This is an old format that I think Microsoft originally designed and that Google extended for the breakpad project. It's used by Chrome and Mozilla also uses it for Firefox. It's essentially a crash reporting binary format.

I linked you to it elsewhere in this thread. Sentry is using a rust implementation of the stack walker.

>What value is the NFT adding exactly?

That you actually own the item.

>Just that you seem to be ascribing a whole lot of importance to something that's basically just a technical detail.

There are implications of technical details. Take for example Valorant. Once Riot is done supporting the game you will never be able to play it again because the multiplayer uses centralized servers operated by Riot. To everyday users they don't really care and arguably they get a better, more consistent experience. But there are users who do care about the ability to be able to play the game when Riot no longer wants to operate the servers for it.

>Video games can already let you trade items between each other

Not really. If I wanted to trade a shulker box of totems on a Minecraft server for a CSGO skin without being scammed there is no way to do it. Games don't naively support it. If all the items are on Steam, Steam lets you trade items between users. But now you are relying on a centralized platform to facilitate this. NFTs offer a solution that is trustless and doesn't give even more power to Valve's monopoly.

>This is not a technical problem, this is a "I want games that do this, but nobody building games wants their games to do this" problem.

Now that NFTs exist a lot of the technical problems have already been slowed. Games aren't doing this because there aren't any big benefits to doing it. Games would be weakening their monopoly by giving power to the users by letting them use NFTs instead of just their own item system.
tone i guess isn't quite right. not in the chinese sense anyway. it's more stress. stress and intonation. it will be different for the last syllable.
In the US care, particularly specialist care, is both expensive and de facto rationed by lack of supply. Need a psychiatrist? No insurance accepted and a 3-6 month wait.

I've been battling the Japanese Lady Beatles at my house every winter since we've moved in, and it's taught me so much about both of these things- and that most seo results about insect traps etc are entirely wrong about.

I haven't figured out the sweetspot for attractant trap placement yet. It's not inside or attached to your camp or house.

But I know that cold, dry, nonstressed deaths for those that do intrude minimizes the ultimate number that invade via that route. Don't heat them, including by cleaning then up with a standard vacuum.

Interesting facts (according to me): their smell that attracts others is one of those like asparagus, that only some people seem to sense.

But to me smells like burning peanut butter toast crossed with a kaolin/ clay.

> I would argue that as far as they are concerned, it is: It's fun.

and it's fun _because_ it's evolutionarily important to learn new things, and thus natural selection for humans have made learning (and mastery) "fun". Mastering mario cart takes lots of learning.

Maths isn't fun only because the kids aren't learning in class, and isn't gaining mastery. It's taught poorly - maths can certainly be fun.

Obviously not. There is no universally accepted definition of anything. (And, I don't understand Chalmers' question. Some humans have always feared automation, back to the Luddites and probably before.)

> extensively used day-to-day by almost every trade

And to train LLMs.
You see that's the thing though.

From the nuclear stan's point of view nuclear is cheapest and best, and anything that contradicts that is wrong by definition.
Excellent points, but perhaps part of the reason for the price difference is because the US population is much more geographically dispersed, so the infrastructure costs are much higher.
The interruptions are the best part!
I don't believe it's a tricky question at all: "Did you train your model on an artist's work that has copyright protection without permission?" is the very simple, straightforward question. The fact of its being an AI model is irrelevant.
New reactors are widely expected last longer than old ones because of what we've learned from the experience. Materials have advanced. Welding is better understood. Stress corrosion cracking can be managed. Your links are backward looking. I'm talking about the future. Many license extensions out to 60 years have been made, and many to 80 are expected.

Youre doing the equivalent of looking at 1960s era solar tech and saying people claiming it can improve are liars.
While I love aviation and I love our ATC’s, I can’t help but think that it’s an antiquated system desperate for disruption. Growth of air travel is outweighing growth in staffing for the FAA. We need a new system. Maybe automate parts of flight that are the routine parts (cruise handoffs, etc) and have staff for the complex bits (takeoff/approach/landing/taxi).
> I'm speaking of the power discrepancy between the employer and employee.

Which only exists because the employer is in a privileged position due to government regulations that favor employers over employees.

That said, there is a fundamental power imbalance between someone who thinks of themselves as an employer (or more precisely, an independent wealth creator, who employs other people to help them) and someone who thinks of themselves as an employee--meaning, someone who just wants a "job" without wanting to think about the business risks that are inherent in any kind of wealth creation. That kind of employee will always be at a disadvantage in bargaining, yes. But you can't fix that problem by government regulation. You can only fix it by helping people to realize that they don't have to think of themselves as employees.

> Many of these sectors move towards a monopoly regardless of government interference.

What sectors are you talking about? Natural monopolies are extremely rare. The original meaning of the word "monopoly" was a government grant giving an exclusive right to sell a particular product.

> If the assumption is that a minimum wage job is the amount of money you'd need to make in order to survive

I made no such assumption. But it is true that many proponents of raising the minimum wage do make such an assumption, in order to argue that the current minimum wage is not enough to live on and so needs to be increased.

> the ability to create a ton of extra jobs below the subsistence level is useless to society

Nonsense. Every job I worked while I was in high school and college was below the subsistence level--I wasn't living on that money, because I was living with my parents (high school) or in a dorm the room and board of which my parents were paying for (college). I was using the money I earned to buy extras that weren't included in the room and board my parents were paying for, and to build up savings for the future. Doing that is a classic way of giving yourself a better start in life. But "you can't live on a minimum wage job" rhetoric takes all those opportunities away.

> Information asymmetry is a huge problem.

I agree. I don't agree, however, that the laws you say "protect" employees actually fix the problem. They don't. I have watched employer-union negotiations from up close. They don't actually help workers at all. In one case I saw, the union signed up to the same deal with the company on day ninety-three of a strike, that the company had offered on day two. Who suffered most because of those extra ninety-one days out on strike? The rank and file union workers. (In the next union election they voted out the union bosses who had managed the strike, but by then it was too late. Nor was the next set of union bosses any better.)
Are you a pilot or ATC? They’re different, but you build a visual representation of traffic in your brain in both arenas. As a pilot you cannot rely on ATC- you have to fly the plane first and keep yourself safe.
They tried —- it didn’t work well.

It is hard to determine what is “useful” or “important”. In case of emergency or chaos, moving info around brings confusions.
As Ron Swanson says, “Give 100%. 110% is impossible. Only idiots recommend that.”

I used to spend 80 hours a week at past startups because that was required and I wanted to move out of help desk support. There were various moments during my stint at Peloton where that number jumped to 120 hours a week.

I'm now at Federal and spend good 30-35 hours/week at work. I'll work nights but only if I took the day off in the morning without taking my PTO. I am able to enjoy life outside of work and I am a better person for it. There's nothing inherently wrong about working extra hours or nights, but do it for yourself or someone you care about at work, never for the organization.
But look at some of the Asian immigrant communities who came to the USA dirt poor and worked the lowest tier jobs. Asians as a class now out-earn whites[0].

Canada already has a usage fee for using ATC services fwiw. Based upon type / weight and distance traveled you get charged per flight.

Same thing could be used here - not sure it's going to fix some of the fundamental issues of lack of staff and poor FAA management.

Magnetic monopoles are indeed speculative, but at least the theoretical foundations are pretty sound. Dirac predicted them after all, and they play nice with quantum mechanics. Wormholes and the like are where you get really wild problems like time-travel, which you have to arbitrarily prevent via more speculative physics.
For years, AT&T sales reps would refer to MB when they meant Mb. Soon after I started service with them, I called to ask about the promised speed, and the tech insisted they sold Mb/s.
