To be fair, I used to think like this too, but chatting with multiple large exchanges/brokerages made us realize this was a thing.

> less than 10^15 cents

There are systems that don't work in terms of cents (cf. the examples of issues in many of the comments here), or even in thousandths of a cent, but with significantly more precision.

Literally, in other words:

Where you run into problems then, with 10 ^ n integer scaling, is when n is large. When n is large, you aren't left with sufficient room in the remaining bytes to represent the whole-number part. In trading systems, for instance, you can easily hit 10 ^ 10 to represent fractional traded prices.

Concretely, if you need to scale by 10 ^ 10, then your whole-number part is 2 ^ 64 / 10 ^ 10 = 1,844,674,407, which isn't terribly large.
What did the old do when they couldn't hunt and gather anymore ? If they didn't die, the young took care of them.

People who are old stop contributing to society but they don't stop taking. Someone has to make up for that, doesn't matter what system.
It's more complex than just that. Sure, there's the people trying to make a dollar who are willing to do bad science in order to get the result they want. But there's also the general publication bias against replication studies - who wants to read them, and who wants to do them (they're not usually seen as prestigious academically: most academics want to test their ideas, not those of others.

And then there's cultural differences in which people sometimes see a negative result as a "failure", don't publish it as a result, and instead skew the data and lie their asses off in order to gain prestige in their career. As long as nobody double checks you, you're good.
The one on this list that surprised me is type O, because it's specific to Thailand and only standardised in 2006, which means that in the 21st century somebody decided it was better to invent a completely new plug-and-socket spec, rather than adopting any of the pre-existing standards...
AC-130 cannot perform Wild Weasel missions.

F35 can perform both Wild Weasel and CAS missions. F35 is also cheaper than the AC-130 and responds faster due to much higher speeds (proper supersonic Jet vs Turbine).

Even in a CAS scenario, some scenarios will prefer an F35 over the AC-130 is the enemy is lightly armed and response time is a priority (traveling at 1200mph or faster vs 299mph means the F35 responds 4x faster)
A sport apparel company abandoning an athlete is the type of press that sells shoes?
I was discussing this with a friend today. In my opinion, the next generation of consoles will be the last. By the time the generation after that would be ready (12-15 years away), 5g will be widespread, 6g will be rolling out and satellite internet will also be fairly comprehensive. USB-C will be widespread and will replace HDMI ports on TVs, not that that matters too much because everyone will be using AR glasses by then and most devices will be capable of doing wireless HDMI. The cloud apps will have been perfected and it will really make very little sense for people to have a massive PC tower size gaming console in their living room.

By the time a console generation ends, console gamers are at least 7 years behind PC gamers in terms of performance. People choose consoles over PCs because the convenience of the console trumps having to maintain a gaming rig. If you no longer have to do that because it's all done for you, why would you choose to purchase another expensive bit of hardware that's limited to one location and that gives worse performance and doesn't let you access the latest games when you can just run everything off the expensive bit of hardware (phone) that you've already got? Consoles will die because the cloud experience will become a better experience than the console, and the economics of making the consoles themselves will no longer make sense for the companies because there won't be enough people who want to buy them. It will also end up being a better experience for game devs because they only have to support one platform (PC).

I also think we're going to also see a shift away from laptops towards desktop modes on phones, especially as AR tech becomes commonplace.

Even in cryptocurrency, I feel like the level of precision is mainly aspirational + cuz they can. Who cares about 1 wei in the context of a transaction that costs around 100 trillion wei on its own? The smallest unit of ether I've ever seen in any kind of UI is 1 gwei (1 billion wei).
> You need to calculate taxes on a massive corporation's fiscal year? Bad idea.

That depends on whether the hundred-billion-dollar corporation cares about being off by a dollar.

And by "off" I mean "different from how humans round", not necessarily further away from an infinite-precision calculation. In fact at "massive corporation" level I would guess that binary floating point is more accurate than a typical fractional penny system.
iFixit is so fantastic. For any of their flaws or shortcomings, they are really trying to grow and improve on a regular basis. They have helped my family save so much stuff from the scrap heap.

These are the types of actions that help the ethos of "REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE".

But it comes at the cost of capitalism and pure profit making. There's going to have to be a hard reckoning sometime soon that we can't keep just throwing stuff away (and paying again and again), just so the stock market keeps moving up.
Replying to myself, I know, but then how about we work out how many fatalities are occurred due to housing affordability? Code costs need to consider that too; since increasing costs means less people get houses to live in. And homeless people have a dramatically shorter life expectancy than housed people.

I’ve had several conversations on this very website wherein people declined to ballpark the number of deaths caused by self-driving cars that would be unacceptable in pursuit of the imminent self-driving utopia, which they declined to describe or make a guess to when (or if) it might come to be.

There is a very vocal group of people that are adamant that the ability to fully dedicate themselves to perineum sunning along the I-5 corridor is a societal Good that eclipses any amount of loss of life, and certainly any other safety or privacy concerns.
Of course. Ideally we'd be able to have all appliances be polarizing agnostic and write that into any standards, and then be able to enforce those standards.

They're perfectly ok with that, and depending on where you live this may happen in more or less overt ways. If the government wants your information, they will get your information. Your very best outcome is to simply rot in detention until you cough up your keys.

Do it from your iCloud account. Presumably thieves will not hold you at gun point to log in to iCloud and allow pairing of your phone's components to a ready recipient iPhone
If parts weren't so unnecessarily difficult to get in the first part, stealing phones for parts wouldn't be a thing. Apple created this problem, they don't get to get credit for "fixing" it in a way that harms consumers.
I have to think that if replacement parts were more widely available, it would reduce the market for parted out stolen phones.
Your differentiation makes no difference - a machine that is mostly useful for evil will end up mostly used for evil.

Your example of a torture machine would depend on if you consider any scenarios where torture would be justified/good/useful. If it does have legitimate uses, then there should be no problem creating it and trying to limit its use. This is where your analogy breaks down though. You can't just cp/ctrl-c a torture machine like you can data/software. Restricting software and its use becomes much more difficult when we talk about stuff like deep fakes while trying to balance liberty.

Lots of people want to build megastructures, and the moon is convenient material; I suspect that when the capabilities make it seem like a serious possibility, people will discover the problems and then do it anyway just like with almost all the other environmental issues to date that compete against economic interests.

However, the main point of the example is "800 years is too far ahead to plan for how much the US dollar might inflate" by way of demonstrating how extreme things can change. As far as I know, no fiat currency has existed that long, and only three country-like entities[0].

Mount Rushmore isn't likely to be targeted by nukes, but I strongly suspect that it is defended against vandals (politically motivated or otherwise) with dynamite (or similar categories of explosives) — that said, if you've always wanted to go and have not yet done so, you should, as I could've said much the same thing about the World Trade Centre 22 years and a fortnight ago.

(I wonder if a single unfriendly nuke on US soil would cause an economic shock? Normally the assumption would be what else might come with it).

It seems pretty easy to implement the "unpair" functionality you ask for.

If "Find My iPhone" (the anti-theft subsystem) is disabled, then the serial numbers for all the parts could be sent to an Apple database, and/or the components could have a "ready to be re-used" bit set that caused them to factory reset themselves if the phone they're plugged into changes (so any state on the re-used thing wouldn't somehow leak into the other phone).

I'm not sure how to define "phone they're plugged into" though. Whatever board has the NAND + security coprocessor on it, maybe?
For starters, Elon has made it very clear what the fantasy he's selling is; that of being a colonist on Mars. But more importantly, this truck is being sold as a work and adventure vehicle, that's why it's modeled with a tent and camping gear or a matching ATV. The emphasis on durability and shit is just Elon's weird idea of what a good rugged exploration vehicle would be.

Oh and finally, make no mistake the people who are driving a cybertruck are plebs. Anyone who doesn't have a professional driver and armed security is a pleb.

Just post a real link people can click on instead of a discussion with links that can't be clicked on.
That is... not what your link says at all. Rather the opposite:

> Fatal atherosclerotic events were more common in the control group (70 v. 48; p<0.05). However, total mortality was similar in the two groups: 178 controls v. 174 experimentals, demonstrating an excess of non-atherosclerotic deaths in the experimental group. This was accounted for by a greater incidence of fatal carcinomas in the experimental group [the vegetable oils group].
Monopolies exist largely in places where competition is not allowed to exist. Comcast is the perfect example of this.

Funny thing is if you paid for FSD in full, you'll never get a car that will be able to have self driving. They are upgrading the hardware again which includes new cameras. I bet it goes two or three more iterations before we have level 3. I have FSD but it was only $1500 or so not $15k. I have come to the realization my car will never be able to drive by itself.

Counter anecdote: My coworker in SF had his phone stolen by someone who grabbed it from his hand and leapt through a closing BART door, so that my friend had to watch the thief walk off as the train pulled away from the platform.

Most people haven't had their phone stolen. That doesn't mean phones aren't stolen.
There's one small part of the article that IMO is sort of key to understanding the why:

> [for every account] we keep two separate strictly positive integer amounts: one for debits and another for credits

It is not sufficient that their integer type is able to handle individual transactions. Their integer type must be able to handle the sum of the absolute value of all transactions that have occurred on an account. And I think it's easy to come up with realistic situations where you hit that.

So say you take the NYSE, which trades about ~$18 billion per day [0]. This is ~$1.8 trillion cents, or about 2^51 microcents. After 2^12 business days (~=16 years) you'll already be hitting the limit. (This is just a toy example ofc.)

This is another dishonest post by Kyle and iFixit. The failure to mention a critical a reason for pairing—theft prevention—is enough to dismiss the entire piece as hopelessly biased.

I think you could make a case for whatever replaces James Webb going to L4 and L5 instead of L2.

They put JW at the L2 point. I don't think L1 would make a good astronomical location (we put Sun monitoring satellites there, which is probably a good idea), and L3 wouldn't be able to transmit to earth because there's a big ball of fusion in the way.

L4 and L5 have the advantage of being stable. No reaction mass needed for orbital correction. I'm not sure how much reaction mass you need for the orbital corrections versus going to L2. Anyone know?

Not to take this conversation too far off track, but the reverse argument could just as easily be made. Companies are amoral entities, existing only to deliver whatever value their owners wish to extract. Governments, meanwhile, are just the manifestation of the will of the people who live in a place. Even currency itself is just a creation of the people by way of the government; no business has any particular right to it.
If T is an aggregate, there is, by definition, no constructor (no-argument or otherwise) to call. The aggregate initialization will then recursively value initialize each member, which is what you want.

The only catch is, as usual, list-initialiation. You have to hope that T is sane and any list initialization constructor with an empty list is equivalent to the nullary constructor.

Retired people aren't working any more and require some level of resources to take care of them. The higher the higher the ratio of retirees to everyone else grows, the higher the percentage of society's resources will be spent on them.

Because birth rates are dropping in every single country as people get educated and etc. 2nd generation immigrants are not having as many children either after the migrate so it is simply a stopgap until every country has a birthrate less than 2.1 (or whatever is needed to have stable population). That’s why I got curious what is this magical way of fixing the population decline.

Which things other than phones are primarily stolen specifically to be parted out (and...to be perfectly honest I'm not sure I buy that it's even that big a thing in phones)? And which companies have made the problem worse by artificially restricting part supplies?
