> investment of money in a common enterprise with profits to come solely from the efforts of others

This is where I see the "staking makes a cryptocurrency a security" fall apart. There are a handful of definitions for "staking" and some of them definitely meet the criteria of "a common enterprise with profits to come solely from the efforts of others" however many do not.

1. Ethereum's staking at a protocol level requires you to run a staking node and you are paid for what is basically an SLA between you and the network and you only get paid if your node maintains a certain uptime, is kept up to date, and operates correctly. That I don't believe meets the criteria as it requires direct, sustained effort from you the operator (even if it's generally low effort).

2. Cardano's (or Tezos') staking is similar. Stake pool operators are effectively the same as Ethereum's stake node operators. But even delegators (who aren't required to stay online) still provide a service in that they are picking the stake pools who then fill the SLAs. If they pick pools that can't meet the requirements then the delegators don't get paid until they can find one that does.

3. Meanwhile you have networks like Algorand where participation in consensus does not effect staking rewards and you never have to perform a service to get paid out by the network. Those would meet the criteria by my understanding.

4. And then you have all the DeFi "staking" which is better described as lending or liquidity pooling. You aren't doing anything proof of stake related but are just lending out capital as an investment.

I can't speak on other networks but generally I found that networks fell into one of those 4 categories. The first two only pay people who provide a service back to the network while with those like the third, even if you can provide a service back to the network, you aren't required to to be able to get paid. And then the fourth category is just a security outright.

Edit (because I forgot to mention it): With regards to Coinbase's staking program, it's in a weird spot. With those you aren't directly staking but you are outsourcing the responsibility to a 3rd part (coinbase) to stake for you. I wouldn't be opposed to considering this type of custodial staking as meeting the criteria to be a security but I don't think proof of stake at a protocol level constitutes "a common enterprise with profits to come solely from the efforts of others" as they require work on behalf of the participants to get paid out.
Unless there was a secret thought control program that could hear one even think of doing such a thing.

On A64, suspend is ~60mW and is fast so it can be used regularly and you can wakeup the board in response to work being needed.

The feature table here https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support also tells you where along the path something is in terms of being stable and making it into the kernel. If it just has a release number like "5.19" then that means it was successfully upstreamed as part of that kernel version. Generally, the Asahi team tries to upstream as they go, but if they are uncertain about the overall architecture of a driver they'll hold off to prevent ossifying certain design decisions too early. An example of this is the GPU driver.

Addendum: I now read the article from which the citation comes, and the similarities with "imaginal meditation" and "soulmaking dharma", both in terms of experience and in terms of insight are striking. Pretty much every paragraph I thought "yes, I experienced that". Obviously, the experiences one gets by meditating 30 minutes a day are far from being as dramatic as what one gets under the influence of ayahuasca, but by getting them almost daily, I am not sure that the long term effect is lower. It might even be greater, because by meditating one trains to cultivate those ways of perceiving, rather than being "forced" to experience them.

If you are curious I definitely recommend checking out rob burbea's talks, e.g. here: https://hermesamara.org/teachings
> Can that be correct?

The "towards certain doom" part is correct. The "at the speed of light" is not. Unfortunately this kind of thing is typical for pop science articles.

> I thought the falling man experienced no change on crossing the event horizon

That's correct. The infalling person has no way of knowing, locally, that they have crossed the horizon and are now doomed to hit the singularity. But that doesn't change their doom.

> (other than the effects of spaghettification, which begins long before arriving at the horizon).*

Not for the typical black holes we observe in the universe. Tidal gravity at their horizons is too small for spaghettification; that doesn't happen until the infaller is well inside and approaching the singularity.

> I thought that you'd continue accellerating toward the singularity, asymptotically approaching both the speed of light and infinite inertial mass. Am I wrong?*

Yes. None of these things are true. Your acceleration is zero--you're in free fall. There is no well-defined notion of "speed" at all, but your worldline remains timelike. Your inertial mass is unchanged. And, finally, the singularity is not a place. It's a moment of time. You can't "accelerate towards" it any more than you can accelerate towards next week.
This topic comes up on hacker news time and time again, and it is always incredible to see the lengths people go to feel good about not tipping.

If you cannot afford to tip, don't. It's not required, and you are probably in a worse place than whoever is receiving your tip.

If tipping is a rounding error compared to your compensation, don't tip, since then you're just encouraging tipping, which is expensive for people not you. Remember - by not tipping, you're helping less fortunate consumers. It's the moral choice.

I think its probably fair to say that we as individual developers are always going to push for the thing we are most familiar and comfortable with. Almost nothing is "complicated" or "bloated" if you are really productive with it and know all the pain points to avoid. My experience with Java is that the language is great, but the ecosystem and tooling is where the bloat and complexity comes in. If I were really accustomed to this ecosystem then I probably wouldn't hold this opinion.

LatAm has two issues.

The first is demographics (and "demographics is destiny"). There is not an expected population boom the way you have in West Africa.

There will be tons of growth (look at Mercado Libre, a 63 billion dollar company), but that growth will come from people coming online and spending online, without the tailwinds of a growing young population.

The second issue with LatAm is that—for "startup" purposes—just two markets. Brazil and Mexico. Everything else doesn't really add up and requires lots of localization for very small markets. This is exacerbated in places like the Caribbean. So you end up having quite concentrated political/macro risk in two countries.

There are VERY good reasons to invest in LatAm, but the best case scenario for LatAm is something like 2-3x South Korea, not China.

> That comment is wrong.

It is a direct quote from the Federal Register notice published by the USPTO. The quote, with a bit more context:

> The changes under consideration would make clear that the Board would discretionarily deny any petition for IPR or PGR filed by an entity that: (1) is a for-profit entity; (2) has not been sued on the challenged patent or has not been threatened with infringement of the challenged patent in a manner sufficient to give rise to declaratory judgment standing; (3) is not otherwise an entity that is practicing, or could be alleged to practice, in the field of the challenged patent with a product or service on the market or with a product or service in which the party has invested to bring to market; and (4) does not have a substantial relationship with an entity that falls outside the scope of elements (1)–(3).

This seems pretty clear.

> The rules clearly state that there has to be ongoing litigation on the patent.

Can you direct me to the part of the new rules that state there has to be ongoing litigation? There are entire sections regarding parallel petitions and parallel litigation, but they are clearly presented as sufficient cause for discretionary denial on their own, and not as requirements for discretionary denial based on the other criteria referenced.

Unless you're saying this rule will only apply to petitions where there are both parallel petitions AND parallel litigation (they are listed and discussed separately) AND the other mentioned criteria are referenced.

> Otherwise, basically nobody could IPR anything until they get sued.

Or demonstrate that the petitioner does not satisfy point 3) above:

> (3) is not otherwise an entity that is practicing, or could be alleged to practice, in the field of the challenged patent with a product or service on the market or with a product or service in which the party has invested to bring to market

This is why the EFF is worried.
>They're comparing a small engine to a 25HP diesel engine. A 25HP diesel is what powers my tractor, they're really not in the same class as a small 25HP gasoline engine that powers my lawnmower.

Their comparison was essentially for mostly-constant RPM usage (generators,UAVs), rather than something more dynamic. Which means they can just peg the engine at most efficient point, just like Mazda's range extender wankel. So yeah, not for tractor-like usages.

> If we're comparing the usefulness of an engine, torque is a big part of the equation.

No, torque on its own is not, else you could compensate with gearing. Power (and in relation, torque) curve is the important one.

The "tractor" like uses want "constant power" across the range, which essentially means flat-ish power curve across whole range[1], and that means torque is dropping fast with RPM. This "theoretical" one liquid piston one is probably classical high-revver curve which is near-constant torque across most of the range and very small range of peak power.

Just the torque number tells very little about that, you need a graph.

What nurturing ecosystem? We've had ten years or so to find an actual use case that every average person is willing to spend hundreds of dollars on, and we have come up empty handed. There's nothing magical or so new in this headset. The people who have an actual use for VR, simulation game turbo nerds, have been mostly satisfied, nobody else cares about VR. Most people who try the "floating web browser and custom theater and infinite monitors" experience quickly realize how unergonomic it is. VR is still an experience that one in ten cannot adjust to.

> VR is an incredible experience for flight simmers

It's not though... nobody enjoys 7 FPS in a flight simulator. No serious flight simulator is capable of achieving 90+ FPS on average, even with today's top tier pc hardware.

The "sims" that do work well in VR are not really sims - they're just arcade experiences. They are indeed fun, but they are not simulators.

I have no experience with sim racing, but I suspect the same from the serious ones.

Truck Simulator? I can expect that to perform well - there's not a ton of physics being calculated every tick after all. But even there, your average person can only stomach VR for maybe an hour or two.

Even when it's fun, it's a serious PITA to setup. You have to setup to use VR in some game, and that means often people get tired of it and wind up resorting back to their flight yoke or stick. It's a novelty, in other words.

If the $600 versions didn't catch on and go mainstream - then a $3500 version is never going to go mainstream.
I think this replacing TVs is a really hard sell, except in remarkably niche people. Sitting on the couch together playing Nintendo just can’t be replaced, and apple surely doesn’t want to allow third party inputs, they want an internal app ecosystem, which Nintendo and PlayStation won’t ever do. (Xbox maybe). Laptop replacement, I can buy though. But only some fraction of those, nothing large, and certainly no larger than iPhone market share percentages.
