First: I guess you guys are talking about mining pools, not miners.

Second: so long as there's one single mining pool that is not colluding, then any censorship attempt is going to be moot. You would need to have, not just 51% of mining-pool collusion, you need 100%!

Third: even if you had 100% collusion, this "problem" is actually being solved with technology, it's called Stratum V2 protocol. Stay tuned.

When you have a fire and need to surface, it's going to do a lot of good. One of the Apollo crews burned alive because the ground crew couldn't unscrew the hatch fast enough during a pre-flight checkout. One of those astronauts, Gus Grisham, nearly died a previous time when the explosive bolts on another capsule fired early which caused the capsule to take on water.

The problems here are just several fold: maybe the door won't help you at depth, but there's a pretty wide envelope of conditions in which a fast escape hatch is the difference between surviving a fire and burning alive.

The CEO of OceanGate said he "learned the lessons of aviation", but this is obviously BS if he's locking himself in a capsule with flammable equipment, piping oxygen in, and just hoping it doesn't burn. That's a recipe for disaster we know how to avoid.
This sounds like a mix of problems to me but mostly with Synology. Sure drives have built in thresholds and 3 years seems short to be but mostly this seems to be Synology and less so with WD. I have 8 WD Red NAS drives that I pulled out of service with 4.5 years of power on hours. There was no smart warning for power on hours. I have 8 other WD Red NAS drives running 5 years and again no smart threshold for power on time. Of course I'm not running Synology.

This almost seems like Synology is playing the enterprise SAN/NAS game of wanting you to toss your hardware every 3 years. Maybe there's a little be of fault here with WD but if so it's because that's what Synology wanted and not a issue with WD NAS drives.

Again, it's well done from a pure business / bootstrapping / resourcefulness / "MacGyvering" (for lack of a better term!) perspective.

Academically (and it is a purely academic question) -- I'm looking to put together a table of capital tiers (i.e., $1-$10, $10-$100, $100-$1000, etc.) -- and what types of businesses could be created online at each tier.

Of all of them the $1-$10 tier is the hardest (well, unless we count $0 as a tier!), that is, "what type of online business could someone invest $10 in and generate a return?". Same question for $100, $1000, etc., etc.

Your business would fall somewhere in the (I'm guessing here -- $50 to $100 is that accurate?) amount to start it up, depending on initial costs with the postcard mailer, domain name, and if a color postcard printer is needed or not... or at least I'm guessing...

>As for the business, it’s 100% automated. Otherwise, it wouldn’t work at scale with everything else I have going on.

That's extra nice -- you definitely don't want to have to make a trip to the post office (or even probably not-too-far away local mailbox) every day...

So, "well done" (well played, perhaps?) -- on the automation front!

>It’s also designed to simply be a fun thing for me and others to use, and isn’t really meant to be anything more than that, money wise. The price point, at the average use numbers, pretty much cover my costs. :)

I'm unconvinced. The phrase "philosophically speaking" is very vague. Which philosoph(y/ies)?

> If people want to take huge risks, then so be it.

You didn't say who is affected by said risks. Only the person taking the huge risk? What about externalities? "Huge" risks would include an existential threat to an individual and thus anyone who knows or depends on them.

> Whether they build the sub themselves or pay and give that responsibility to a proxy, it is still up to them to make their own risk assessment.

Sounds like we're in the domains of legal and/or moral philosophy. The phrase "up to them" suggests a responsibility, a kind of normative claim. Perhaps a responsibility to make wise decisions? Perhaps a responsibility that cannot be transferred or delegated?

Using the phrase "philosophically speaking" invites these kinds of questions, particularly when the underlying philosophy is unsaid and its reasoning unclear.
The definition of toxic matters, because finding completely normal behaviors as hurtful might be indicative of a disorder in need of treatment.

> whereas every single transaction in the Bitcoin network is visible to everyone and, moreover, cryptographically verifiable by everyone.

It’s pretty easy to hide wash trading in the ledger to manipulate the price of bitcoin to artificial levels.

Just because transactions are public doesn’t mean that there isn’t associated data hidden (eg, identities, if dead wallets are really dead, etc etc).

Bitcoin may be great, but to say it must succeed because it’s transparent doesn’t address the risk that there is no basis for value and it’s only purpose is speculation and tricking a greater fool to keep the price up.
Yes.

In a 2022 interview with CBC, Rush added the Bluetooth game controllers were durable — “it’s meant for a 16 year old to throw it around,” he said, tossing the controller to the floor — and that they kept spares on board “just in case.”

Also, the controllers appear to be only to control the periscope. Which is not a critical component of this submarine. Everybody is fixating on them, but that's not what caused them to sink/get lost. It was probably the rest of the shoddy engineering.

In case anyone is wondering, gpt4 provides the same solution. It takes some prodding though, and you get treated with a lecture of how inefficient it is before it provides the solution.

"Apologies for any confusion before, and I understand the nature of your request now. It's a fun challenge to think about! While it's not practically useful or efficient, and it is actually quite limited, a creative theoretical solution exists that involves regular expressions. This specific solution only works for very small numbers due to the inherent limitations of regex. It's based on the principle that a number is prime if it cannot be expressed as a product of two smaller natural numbers. We represent the number as a repeated string of 1s, then check for repeating sub-patterns.

For instance, this Perl regex checks if a number, represented as unary (a string of 1s), is prime:

perl
Copy code
/^1?$|^(11+?)\1+$/
In this regex:

^1?$ checks for the case where you have zero or one '1', which represent the numbers 0 and 1, neither of which are prime.
^(11+?)\1+$ attempts to match the input with a repeating group of '1's. If a match is found, the number is not prime, because a repeating subgroup of '1's represents a divisor.
This pattern should be used in a negative sense: if a string of 1s (representing your number in unary form) matches this pattern, it's not prime. If it doesn't match, then it is prime.

Again, this is quite impractical for real use cases as the unary representation is extremely inefficient, and the computation grows quickly with larger numbers, but it's a neat way of showing how flexible and powerful regular expressions can be."
Gold has a perception of wealth but history makes clear what it actually is. For example, the hordes of gold the Spanish plundered from the Americas directly contributed to the bankruptcy of the monarchy.[1] Because they hadn't actually seized/mined "wealth" - they'd simply inflated their currency away without any commensurate expansion in productivity.

People who believe that it would be "easy" to trade gold for other goods have also clearly never tried - since the entire modern banking system came into existence on the basis of the sheer difficulty of directly trading gold for other goods. No one knows how to value gold, they don't know what it's worth other then a brick is probably a lot. If they could, then the fake jewellery scam wouldn't be as successful as it is[2].

Has feedly stopped showing the “popularity metrics” for the URLs?
I happen to use feedly[1] as RSS feed reader since almost years now but haven't looked at it since a long time. Today, I found that the "popularity metrics" it usually showed around each link has disappeared.

TBH that metric was about the only reason I used that app for. Being a coder, I can build an XML feed reader myself for the domains I've curated but this popularity metric was the USP. Have they stopped it altogether? Is there some other API or something on the web (preferably free) where I can find this popularity metric?

as I understand it, cancer is essentially DNA damage. a piece of DNA gets randomly rewritten so that instead of doing its normal job it replicates and grows, using up resources and killing off neighbouring cells until it gets to the point where it prevents the organ/system/host from functioning

it's a little like a computer memory leak caused by a bit flip

cotton, silk, linen and wool are all harvested from organisms that contain DNA. if they promoted DNA damage, the organisms that produce them likely would have died off and been selected out long ago

of course humans could be vulnerable in ways plants, worms and sheep are not, or the damage could be slow enough to only affect something with a human-length lifespan, but there's a level of reassurance in knowing that those fibres come from something containing DNA

hydrocarbon-based fibres do not give me this reassurance

I'm not sure what improvments are you suggesting.

I think that the term 'cobbled together' does injustice to something that's been running in production and is quite stable. It isn't a demo that's been cobbled together at short notice. The former isn't elegant because it doesn't have the clean lines of the original design, and age takes its toll.
I have been working on LLM projects for the past 2 years and I still share a similar anxiety to you. Will what I am building just be a small added feature inside a future ChatGPT or will an AI just be able to do it out of the box in the future?

However, I don't think that is a reason to not build - if anything it is a reason to build faster and just believe that you will be able to adapt to whatever happens in the future. And on a personal note, a part of me envies people who aren't actively working on projects using LLMs -- you guys are the ones who are more likely to stumble across unique problems to solve with AI that most of us just didn't see.
