This is still useless because there's already a single issuer of concert tickets: The ticket vendor. The vendor already has a plain-old database of the tickets which can handle transactions at a tiny fraction of the cost, and can capture the value of the transaction in fees itself. The vendor has no incentive to have blockchain miners/stakers capture that value instead.

>The "wrong" way to solve this problem is to compute hen-laying in terms of hen-egg-days, and then scaling.

I am not sure to understand what you mean by "wrong" way, I got the right result through a different reasoning that seems to me based on hen-egg-days.

It takes 3 days for 3 hens to make 3 eggs.

The 3 days time are "fixed", i.e. it takes 3 days for each hen to make its own egg.

The egg production rate is 1/3 egg per day per hen.

So I have 12 hens x 12 days x 1/3 = 144 x 1/3 = 48
I’m old enough to remember the advent of YouTube and remember thinking that it would obviously be one of zillions of video-streaming sites. Nope.

Somehow, having all the choice in the world funnels into its opposite.

My understanding is that this work is designed to run DomU images more or less directly. Qemu itself more or less fills the role of Dom0 here.
Why? Because if three hens laid three eggs in three days, then it means one hen lays one egg per day - so twelve hens, given twelve days, will lay twelve eggs. That's the immediate reasoning, right?

It's very easy to fall into that trap, and miss the fact that two of the variables were changed.

> Isn’t it sad that the first $500b+ company from Europe is a peddler of vanity and overpriced luxury items?

Actually no, since luxury items sell at highest margin so it makes complete sense that a luxury item company would be valued high, as long as there is a demand for their wares - which at the moment seems to be there.

Again, not sure what you means since in a way since designers and fashion companies need to keep on innovating new trends and designs and IMHO are one of the most creative and innovative in the true sense.

Technically you can do a transaction by holding a mobile EMV payment terminal to someone's card without them knowing (this only works for physical cards, mobile phones need to be unlocked first).

The protection is the fact you just can't get a mobile payment terminal without a whole "know your customer" due diligence process, so the fraud traces directly to the ultimate beneficial owner of the company to which the payment acceptance contract of the payment terminal was provided.

This is the reason this fraud is non-existent in Europe, where tap to pay is already used for years.
Company value is dictated by what buyers/sellers of the stock say it is. When you especially consider that part of a company’s stock value comes from what people think their future potential is, it’s much more open ended than a simple formula.

So it doesn’t make sense to say a company’s value is “fake”, what you’re actually saying is that you highly disagree with what the market thinks the value is. You not agreeing with the value doesn’t make the value invalid.

I share some of your criticism. I don't believe there is the one universal style to management. There aren't even styles that fit certain types of employees. There is making good decisions in the face of problems and being able to communicate with your team. The what is much more important than the how.

Maybe that is just my personality type or whatever, but I often don't see the thr essential wisdom. The post isn't braggy though and it is appreciated that the author shares his ideas.

Personally, I grew up on the internet, learning from people in chatrooms and forums which were strong communities where most of my personal adult relationships have come from (many of whom I've not met in 20 years of knowing them).

From what I've seen, if your seniors and your juniors are both from this era and culture, your remote team will excel without missing a beat. I think it's the people used to the "old ways" that will suffer, for having expensive requirements like an office to capture the same value.

Isn't it the case that other numerical integration methods only work if you have a f(x) that you can evaluate for any x you want (albeit possible costly)?

It seems to me that in many practical applications, the only thing you have to work with it is samples at discrete moments in time. It certainly seems to be the case here: "I would measure car's speed at every instant and produce an average of those measurements." We only know f(t_0), f(t_1), f(t_2), ... (and if we're lucky t_1-t_0 = t_2-t_1 = t_3-t_2 and so on); we have no way to compute things like f((t_0 + t_1)/2). In that case, how can we improve our calculation?
I sort of agree. This reminds me of the article the other day asking more people to consider teaching, especially as an adjunct. The pay is absurdly low but as one commenter put it, they're probably hoping to find someone retired that doesn't really need the salary.
That's not how it goes. And, yes, the answer is 50% in this case.

The problem relies on first choosing a door (1). The host then opens a door that you did NOT choose (3) and asks if you want to switch your choice to door #2. In this case, the probability that the goat is behind door 2 is not 50%.

10,000 annoyed users who never would have given us a penny of value is worth the same as 10,000 happy users that never give us a penny of value.
I think I'm making two assumptions here, and they explain the bulk of our disagreement.

First my intuition here is that in most situations, we should expect any specific example brought to our attention to be actively misleading. Out of thousands of stories about LSD, this one happens to be on the HN frontpage- should we not expect it to be unusual in some way?

Second, I think I assume that for any given activity, there exists at least one story about it that is very bad. So finding such a story shouldn't swing your judgement too much. It isn't new information!

To put it another way, we can't possibly be using the pair (average case gain, example very bad outcome) to judge if things are worth it. When we decide to cross the road, we are drawing on our extensive record of safely crossing roads, as well as our highly accurate model of the road (I would feel much less safe crossing a highway at rush hour than a suburban road at 1am) to judge the situation. If we just drew on benefit (get to the other side of the road) and potential cost (get hit by car), there would be no difference between crossing at an intersection and jaywalking. Clearly there's a probability component which is not drawn from the ether, but instead from our internal model of how the world works. I think that in your argument, this would be the "healthy dose of common sense".

In the case of drug effects, or in medical interventions overall, we don't have that benefit. Here anecdotes and common sense commonly steer us wrong- that is the undeniable conclusion of decades of disappointing research.

My specific disagreement with the way the author framed their point, which prompted my response, was how they felt that people who have had good experiences and talked about them were "naive", because the author themselves had a bad experience. I take the perspective that those people are no more wrong than the author- both are generalizing entirely from their own experiences. But your perspective would seem to argue that those people talking about how LSD is great are correct! After all, many psychonauts have tried LSD many times and come out fine, and have seen others do the same. They are reasoning from anecdotes and a healthy dose of common sense.

It may well be the case that for most peoples' risk budgets, LSD isn't worth it. The author obviously things so. But at no point do they make that argument! The sum total of the post is "Some people anecdotally say they get great benefit from LSD", "I had extremely negative effects from LSD (as do some other people)", followed by "therefore LSD is definitely not worth it for anyone". Huh? It's totally understandable why someone who went through what the author did would feel this way. It would be entirely unreasonable to expect someone bitten by a shark to couch their very real and very bad lived experience with the statistics on shark attacks. Hell, there's a legitimate point to be made about how the spiritualism and hype around psychedelics mean that positive anecdotes are treated as data while negative anecdotes are brushed under the rug. But the author, however understandably, did not make that point.

I'm not advocating for FI (edit: removed RE) because one wishes to not work (although that is an entirely reasonable goal to target), but so that you can still live a decent life if you want to work but cannot find employment. I have read many trying anecdotes lately (both here and on Reddit) of engineers who are very capable who cannot succeed against the current hiring gauntlets. What good is a desire to contribute and perform meaningful work if you can't make it through the hiring circus? That is what you're derisking against. The labor market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. I am advocating for efforts to become radically solvent; not to do nothing, but to be able to do anything and at high level, have agency one does not have by default.

Yeah, you could very well be right this is all overkill. But what I wanted to do was handle the general case rather than deal with things on a case by case basis. So to extend your analogy, I consider this blog post a parser generator. It isn't suppose to parse any particular text, but to allow you to create a parser for anything you want.

I've found that my short replies to empirical advocates seem to not connect. There seemed to be an assumption that I just wanted to hold onto my opinions and not think deeply about anything. So I wanted to do the exact opposite. Be as pedantic as I could (in the space of a shortish blogpost).
Some, probably. But that firmware is self-contained to the converter chip, and doesn't have the ability to interact with your CPU's various subsystems.

The i.MX8's HDMI core has independent access to the DDR memory, peripheral buses, timers, DMAs, and who knows what else. It's probably even running an RTOS of some kind, which might or might not include network drivers. Malicious firmware could compromise the security of your entire device.

It's kind of the same problem that some folks have with Intel's IME. It could be fine and secure. Or maybe not, we just don't know.

Nobody's saying that the i.MX8's HDMI firmware is malicious. It's probably fine. But we also don't know, because we can't inspect it. So if you were designing that chip into a security-critical setting, you'd have to wonder what might be running without your knowledge.
I believe it's different because the law about trespassing doesn't say anything about effective locks or other methods of denying access. AFAIK it would be illegal to enter even if there was no door at all.

You'd be hard pushed to find a suitable candidate that wasn't connected at a high level.

No, you don't. You still only have to check those 2 cards. If you're asking about card 3 then that's the common mistake – it doesn't matter whether that card has a number or an emoji on the other side, because the only logical test here is that if it has an even number on one side, the other side must be blue.

It doesn't matter what blue cards have on the other side, we don't need to test them.

edit: sorry, I just realised you're referring to card 1 and not 3, yeah I suppose you'd need to check it too unless there's a rule about always needing to match a color to a number.
