Houses have price history, but usually the identity of the owners is a matter of record and if I sold my house to myself, you could see that. I could try to obfuscate this by creating a shell company to buy my own house but that is about 1,000x more work than creating another ETH wallet and still not very anonymous.

More importantly, even if I manage to create the appearance that my house has a price history of eight million dollars, somebody looking at the physical property will note that it is in a crappy neighborhood, the vinyl siding is cracked, the deck is rotting, and the construction is generally cheap '80s on a quarter acre. There are other ways to estimate the value of the property besides looking at what it last sold for. So we rarely ever see this attempted in real estate.

This is true of domain names too. I am not going to trick anybody into thinking 643626bcaqw.org is worth as much as tesla.com for obvious reasons, no matter what wash trades I perform. Pointing to "well it last sold between two anonymous owners for millions!" fools nobody. The price history of a domain name is not even normally shown when you try to purchase one, just the current asking price.

Art is closer, which makes sense as NFTs are supposed to be a digital equivalent to art. I am not in the market for high priced art and certainly wouldn't recommend it as an investment. Unlike a house, I can't inspect a piece of art and judge how much money it might be worth. Like an NFT, I imagine when a piece of art is sold at auction it's typical for the auctioneer to mention it last sold to so-and-so at such-and-such price. The difference is that "so-and-so" might be, say, Jeff Bezos or the Metropolitan Museum of Art or something. No auctioneer is going to say "well, this piece is highly valuable because it last sold from D6EB90 to CBB0FE at 24.190 WETH"[1]. Nobody would care about a purported sale between two anonymous parties.

The NFT world is the only space I can think of where that data is assumed to be meaningful. Notice how the prominent the price history graph is on OpenSea -- it's almost as big as the image itself. Probably because there is no other way to guess at a valuation for a Bored Ape, so even though this anonymous price history is highly dubious, it's all a prospective buyer has to go on.

Blade Runner is less of an adaptation and more of a "inspired by", I think. The book and the film(s) stand on their own just fine.

because normally broken roads get blocked of e.g. for bridges using concrete barricades

and potential unmaintained off road roads tend to at least have warning signs and often are very obvious visible bad ideas to drive on

so even if google routes people there they normally know better then to take that route

through there had been all kind of cases

like a (river) ferry being listed as a normal route in the map and people driving into the river at the ferry dock at night when the ferry was on the other side

or people taking country side roads without any infrastructure they are guaranteed to get stuck one when they run out of gas because of navigation apps (not just google), like the app trying to send someone through the desert
On first thought I figured "of course it wouldn't it's beer!" but then remember my first time trying Pumpkin Head. There was slight hesitation but it's good - was expecting more a "seasonal spice" taste but it fits in.
Same goes for N/A brews or...

Reminds me of the joke "what does PBR stand for" - Perfect Beer, Really!
I’m not sure of the details of this, but Tesla and Toyota were (maybe still are) “aligned”, which is a thing in Japanese culture. It wouldn’t surprise me that they have discussed this technology together at some level. The idea that Toyota suddenly “copied” Tesla with this gigacasting idea, complete with working prototypes, after a short news cycle is a ridiculous interpretation either way.
Every other keyboard you may need to use; for family, work, friends, is QWERTY. That is enough reason for me to stick with the norm. I already type 120wpm, which is only useful for a speed typing test. I never code, or even write documentation, at 120wpm.
You don’t! You rely on the application parsing logic because apparently that is the best idea ever!

What a waste of time this article is, honestly.
> As usual, he went back to the purpose of why they were there. The mission. “What the hell do I wanna go off and go to work for? Work for what? Money?”

This says a lot about how evil Musk as a person is. The rich telling the poors that they shouldn't be working for money. If it were up to the Musks of the world, they would be working for some other intangible asset.

This is the level of an "influencer" who wants products for free to "give them exposure".

What is disappointing is that the author gives Musk the credit for company turn arounds, product turn arounds, and so on. Musk is clearly incompetent as demonstrated with Twitter. Do not credit this person for other's work.

No doubt that's true. But I don't live in the US so don't feel very qualified to comment.
See, I had no idea about that because we just don’t use cups here. But as I pointed out elsewhere it’s not about liquids - the thing that confuses me with cups is solids because 50g of butter = 50g of flour but 1 cup of butter does not equal one cup of flour.
Speaking from personal experience as an educator and entrepreneur in this area.

Education is not a commodity.

It’s a very delicate and fragile process.

You can scale marketing, sales, but you can’t scale real learning of anything more complicated than hammering nails.

However big is EdTech it will always be a fragmented carpet made of small (and some big) patches.

Think of Harvard or any university you consider the best - why didn’t it conquer the world by opening offices all over the world?

The same reason why there will never be a Google of EdTech.

Learning is not a hamburger.

Internet doesn’t change the nature of education, it is just a distribution channel, one of many possible.
If Germany were to rely just on solar and wind, the low capacity factor would likely require massive grid storage. The only large scale grid storage we have at this point is pumped hydro and that isn't scalable. For example, one estimate is that for Germany to rely only on solar and wind would require about 6,000 pumped storage plants which is literally 183 times their current capacity.

If making more grid storage was cheap and easy, we would have built it decades ago. This is why Germany is still burning so much coal.

In no particular order:

Pushes entities of interest towards using this new currency as part of sanctions evasion.

Creates downstream effects in tech for expanding the technology. Promising parts can be used to obtain budget for things that are even more off the books.

To this day one of the more prominent use cases of bitcoin/cryptocurrencies has been to turn USD into sanctioned currencies.
Cisco and Splunk are both HQ'd in SF. If they were at the airport, it was coming back from Jackson hole or something.

The real trouble with 'maybe they were legit outsiders' is the options expired specifically today, which means you need to know _when the announcement_ is to profit.
Well the context is online courses from Harvard, MIT. Such as the CS50 course referenced by many even in this thread.
Those courses are free, there is a option for a certification for around 150 dollar.

People actually learn the basics of CS and foundational knowledge in those courses.
And how to use git and GitHub.

I never stated that those certs, or courses alone would be enough.
This comment thread started because someone called it anti-signal.
Listing anything on a Resume is never pointless, it tells us something about the potential hire.

Courses like the one mentioned are open, which means if you wanted to test that knowledge you could, easily.

That could tell you so much about the potential hire:

* Did they actually do the course.

* Did they retain the information.

* Did they understood the material.

* How did they use the information, in their own projects or clients.

From those answers you would even be able to learn more about their seniority level.

The point is, "anti-signals" is just not everywhere the case. It might be for some, sure. But how many of those would like to see formal CS education?

Seems that even you are more on the side of actual code examples. And in order to create great code, allot of deep knowledge is needed. Which those courses provide.
Oy, the only thing missing is my youth...
This is exactly correct. And it's particularly pathetic that Democrats try to pander to these voters as they will always prefer right-wing Republicans. Biden could have undone a lot more of Trump's maximum pressure nonsense, but he's afraid of Florida and that pervert Bob Menendez (https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/nation-world/sd-me...).

This is ultimately why I left. I felt as though they kept releasing new features and services every month without a focus on improving their existing ones.

So there used to be something called "kubenet" which was built-in implementation that worked similar to what this article described, nowadays all networking is out-of-tree and handled by external networking plugins via the CNI[0].

I might be, it's one of the lowest touch services we run. But we aren't doing the "Kafka all the things" model where every single little app is hooked into it for generic message passing but simply logs go in, logs go out, nothing else.

The business logic message passing goes through Rabbit because we wanted out of order processing, priority routing, retry queues, blah blah.
What about setting up a dedicated terminal for your editor? I think a GUI version is in the works, but that's probably what it will end up as.

In Svelte 4, the let counter = 0 syntax is already reactive by default, a feature enabled by the compiler. This has been the status quo for Svelte prior to the rune change. The introduction of the $state(0) rune actually provides more hints about its reactivity than before, and restore the original meaning of let counter = 0 (in rune mode). While it's true that the compiler's "invasion" into JS/TS syntax has been a point of discussion, this invasion has been happening for a while, and the initial shock wave has been well-absorbed by the community.

Interestingly, the new changes could be seen as a retreat from that initial invasion, likely triggering a different response from the community. In fact, the resistance I've seen (and my own as well) has been in the opposite direction—it's hating this retreat, complaining Svelte becoming less "magical." and more close to regular joe Javascript.
Yeah, I remember compressing 4k120hz video of my AI upscaled ray traced RPG play through in real time and streaming it to all my friends' phones in the 90s. Times never change.

But really, it's easy to forget the massive leaps we make every year.
Nearly all of the internet's core protocols reject bad/malformed packets. They don't do a best effort to figure out what the sender "intended" they just reject the packet.

Some of the most popular instances of doing a best effort to figure out the intent of the sender are also poster children for protocol level security flaws. If we've learned anything from deploying, managing, and developing on top of the core internet protocols it's this:

1. Be very conservative in what you send.

2. Reject anything that isn't what you expected to get.

If you squint you can sort of see that being a valid interpretation of Postel's law but it's not the standard interpretation in practice.
>shelled by "someone"

See, that is entirely the point. In the fog of war, unless someone takes responsibility for an action, we cannot be sure who performed that action.

There is substantial reason to believe that covert Western operatives are also on the battleground. This is, after all, what those trillions of dollars of 'investment' each year, are all about .. however this equally valid suspicion is, tribally, also easily overlooked.
> I think the fans’ point is that what Disney is doing to Star Wars today is diminishing the entirety of Star Wars

They may believe that, but it's not true.
Had the same reaction. Was hoping for some mid-90s wine screenshots!
> What if the guy was using paper maps?

Paper maps don't advertise themselves has having up to the minute information and continuous updates. Nobody expects a paper map to have the most up to date information. When someone uses a paper map they do so with that understanding.

People do expect google to know when there's a traffic jam and they expect google to update their maps with the data consumers provide to them.
The benefit to customers was the planes were directed to where the customers were and flew to where they wanted to go. There was not a sudden decrease in aircraft flying.

> the benefits to society is in terms of reduced fuel consumption, only because that’s directly aligned with the airline’s profits

Companies don't burn fuel for fun. The fuel is about 40% of the cost of your ticket. Increased fuel efficiency is the major driver of new airline designs.
I would agree, but the topic started with that they are anti signals.
I think it is not just diluting the quality to get a worse average. Fiction often involves the audience filling in the gaps: Someone drops a hint that characters have known each other a long time; you can imagine that as you’d like. In the end, you get “and they lived happily ever after,” you decide what “happily ever after” looks like.

Sequels and prequels need to add more drama and action, so happily ever after never ends up being all that happy.
Seems unlikely. You can hire someone to write you stuff that violates copyright, like fanfiction. It is unlikely that any court would find that the purpose / character of that use is commercial in nature; nor that the effect of creating it would have any effect on the potential market for the original.

Even if someone is generating a new novel for themselves to read every day, it doesn’t seem likely to pass those tests so long as they are not distributing it.
Absolutely. And I'm all for reducing our environmental impact.

My point is that even if we could flick a magic wand, and reduce the transportation emissions to zero overnight, we wouldn't be able to meet the long term emission goals given the trend in wildfires. Forests in Canada have been carbon positive in the past many years.

It's much easier for the governments to pass regulations, and put the burden on the consumers to reduce the emissions, than do anything about wildfires. It's important to have a sense of the diminishing effects, and focus our efforts on the most important factor.
Torque screwdriver. You can get digital motor-driven ones, and ones that work like torque wrenches, with a clutch that releases once you exceed the torque setting. Torque screwdrivers have a limited range of supported torques, and computer heatsink fasteners generally need fairly low torque, so be sure to get one that goes low enough.
I think about eight, ten years ago they stopped being mini when collision safety laws changed. They had to raise the hood for pedestrian safety (hitting legs and spinning heads into the windshield is not allowed) and raise the door height for side impact safety. The whole car got normal sized because of it and then they just kinda said fuck it.
I thought it was crazy sauce with the average tax on an equivalent amount of CAD earnings (143,680) being ~26.2% in my province but apparently the Germans are paying 42%..... Canada provides (crappy) healthcare from that tax hit as well so it's more comparable than USA.
Agreed. The Pumpkin Head beer is pretty good.
First time I hear that list comprehension is a dangerous tool. The way python implements it is awkward I'll give you that, but there is a lot of success in how Java and C# implement it for example. golang just chose the easy and overly verbose way out, it's a theme they have that is visible in the rest of the language.
Georgian winemaking has very old roots and is underappreciated internationally. Great place to visit if you want to sip and talk good wine around many other wine lovers (lots of home grown cha cha too)
A responsive developer who knows his product inside out, who replies daily to GitHub issues, values reports and resolves issues reported and releases fixes for reported issues in hours/days instead of months/years(if at all) - That alone is priceless and beats "official" Docker for Mac any day!
Maybe they're hoping Google will settle out of court. If they settle, they avoid the risk of setting the legal precedent they don't want. That might be worth the money to them.

The family could also just be doing it on principle. If Google had made the updates, the man would probably be alive today because he wouldn't have known about this (non-)route, so they may feel like Google shares some blame. The lawsuit and/or bad PR could motivate Google to make some kind of change, like better training or better support in their problem reporting system for tracking and prioritizing corrections related to safety.
> If we assume a constant thickness of the vascular cambium, branches must conserve surface area.

Not necessarily. Transport speed could be different depending on the diameter of the branches

Also, I would think a model that has a constant flow at each distance from the roots or the leaves is incorrect.

A more realistic model has water being transported up and mostly evaporating in the leaves and barely contributing to tree mass, carbon (in some form) being transported down from the leaves and gradually being accumulated, and small amounts of minerals being transported up from the roots and gradually being accumulated.

That model has a constant water flow throughout the tree, but a gradient in downward flow. I wouldn’t know which is dominant.

_if_ most of the transport volume is carbon being transported down to branches and roots and being accumulated, more volume would go out of the leaves than arrives at ground level.

I wouldn’t know whether that’s true, though. Most of a tree’s mass comes out of CO2 in the air, but because water evaporates out of the tree, there still may be more stuff going up than going down.
You can build your own car in the UK. If you build from a kit then the kit will typically have type approval and you just pay for your build to be inspected. If you create something unique it needs a more expensive inspection that incorporates type approval. Open source would be like a kit where you make the parts. I think legally this would be treated as a custom build. The full inspection is £450, which seems quite reasonable.
Did you actually bother to verify those links? They're wildly inaccurate. It claims Delta is making $50B/quarter??? They make roughly $13B/quarter. Your very first link claims Delta's profit margin 6/20/23 is 5.36% - it was 11.72% per their earnings report. 12/31/22 - claims 2.61%, it was 6.17%. Garbage in, garbage out.

https://www.google.com/finance/quote/DAL:NYSE

And again, that doesn't address the fact their net profit margin has literally 0 relation to their profit margin on MY TICKET which is CONSIDERABLY higher than 11.72% on average.
I guess whether it’s fine grained throughout the day depends on the school, in my school they would only really give positive/negative points maybe once a week or less (if that’s what you’re talking about)
Every time a new MacBook Pro is released, I check to see if they have figured out how to put a modem in it like they manage to with watches, phones, and tablets. This is an obvious example where the market is failing.

The best explanation I heard is that the Apple deal with Qualcomm pays Qualcomm a royalty as a function of the price of the device and Apple does not want to give that much money to Qualcomm and/or raise the price of a MacBook Pro that much. Does anyone have any evidence on this topic?
Yes, this exactly. I wish the media would cover this more. But we know why they don't.
This is the reason. The only reasons nuclear plants are built at all is to 1) let civilians share the cost of maintaining an existing nuclear military (US, Russia) or 2) for countries that want to be able to build a nuke in a hurry (Iran, Sweden).

There are about 5-6 countries like Iran, each with a geopolitical imperative to want a bomb in a hurry.
That’s very plausible. Maybe he was a shit knight. But also there’s the man eating lions that somehow could dodge bullets.

Because I find all that stuff to be even more mental overhead to learn and work with, and super annoying to deploy and manage. It would literally take me longer to get one of those kinds of tools to work on my data the way I want it than it took me to make my own tool that does exactly what I want, exactly the way I want it, where it's incredibly trivial for me to add new kinds of logs or anything else.

When you have a hugely complex, made by committee, enterprise-grade generic system/protocol like opentelemetry that does anything and everything, at any scale, it's always going to have huge amount of excess complexity when you are trying to do a specific simple thing well and quickly. It would be harder to figure out the config files for that stuff than it was to just make my own system.
Every time the subject of credit card rewards and the associated credit card fees come up, there is a suggestion that maybe this is a hidden and unfair tax on the economy that we ought to eliminate. This is arguably a fair point. But in practice I don't believe that we will see the prices go down by 2/3% if we regulate these fees like the EU did. The only thing that will disappear is the rewards. So in my opinion a net positive for the sellers that will be able to effortlessly increase their margins but a small negative for the consumer.
