I think there is some systematic reason why people like Satoshi, Buckethead, Banksy, etc are not uncovered.

In each case, I doubt that it really is hard to figure out who they are.

Maybe it is the way the press and social media work. You get as many clicks for a wild theory as you get for a properly researched opinion.

As for Satoshi Nakamoto: The most obvious candidate seems to be Adam Back. His invention of proof of work, his biography, character, writing style and role as the CEO of the company behind the main wallet software all point to him. Also, his current communication "Bitcoin looks like something that was discovered rather than invented". That's something a creator typically says about a particularly great piece of work they did. Are there any arguments why he might not be the inventor of Bitcoin?
They're a small company with an even smaller engineering team, I think 13 devs or something like that. I would imagine either everyone knows about it immediately or they are too overloaded with work that it gets deprioritised into oblivion after a quick first look.
The work experience blurbs are a little bland, especially the top one.

"most popular products" => which products?
"leading e-commerce platforms" => which platforms?

Where are the numbers? How many products, user reviews, comments are we talking about? How could it be more, and run intraday?

The template/format you are using is also a very common one, which is fine as a starting point, but to stand out it wouldn't hurt to customize a little, to suit your exact situation (e.g. if the country is the same, just take it out and use the space for more details).

Your resume is not terrible, but it's not something that would stand out / go to the top of the pile either.

One step further: Powerpoint. Sooner or later the diagrams will usually be needed in a presentation. Having them in a presentable format saves another step, and is a constant reminder to produce something worth presenting.

Those diagrams that don't end up in presentations will be write-only anyway, and could be in any random format. No-one is going to read them.
From a Mexican, I'd like to congratulate you for all this effort and thank you for the amazing experience you put together for us to enjoy.

All of this history was taught to me through primary school, and yet, this project made me put together some things I haven't realized before. Visualization goes a long way.

The New Fire ceremony looks amazing, everything else is also beautiful. Thanks again for such a fine piece of work!
It's funny, I have had similar experiences, with a totally different conclusion. I've worked with people who just throw shit at the wall like that, and like you, I've seen the shit stick to the wall often times. But my conclusions have been something like: 1. It doesn't work out just as often as it does, and it's impossible to predict which situation is which, and harder to fix post-facto than it would have been to just not do it that way from the start, so (IMO) it's a crapshoot with negative expected value, 2. I hate working this way, at a personal level, which leads to: 3. I just don't want to spend my time working on stuff where this is even plausibly the right approach.

All in all, this was one of the formative experiences that has led me to seeking out deeper and larger projects to spend my time on, rather than the string of smaller more trivial things that lend themselves to this approach to software. But the other side of that coin is that I'm a lot more content now with the understanding that other people just have different preferences than me. I spend a lot less time thinking about what the right way to build software is, and more time thinking about what's right for me.
you could probably write Türkiye as Turkiye too, and it would still be better than Turkey. in this case it's not only the issue of a foreign name but also the confusion with the bird. i did see german translations food articles where "turkey meat" was translated with the country name instead of the bird name, which differ in german.
I think it's unfair to characterize this as a layman's myth given that it was a widely quoted figure in the literature at least until 2016.

> Wasn't that why Vandenberg was fitted-out to launch shuttles?

I don't know about DoD operating their own shuttles with their own crews, but my understanding was that part of the pitch that got Shuttle approved was that they could do polar launches from Vandenberg to deploy Earth observation (read: spy) satellites. Or match the orbit of, observe, and even capture satellites belonging to other countries in polar orbits. It helped get DoD's backing for the program.

Being able to launch from Vandenberg as well as Cape Canaveral opens up more orbital options.
> Bitcoin is better off with Satoshi's identity remaining unknown. A human can be criticized and politically attacked. A myth will withstand the test of time.

There's another reason. Because there's no entity controlling bitcoin, the SEC doesn't consider it a security, unlike all other cryptocurrencies.

> “Everything other than bitcoin,” Gensler told me, “you can find a website, you can find a group of entrepreneurs, they might set up their legal entities in a tax haven offshore, they might have a foundation, they might lawyer it up to try to arbitrage and make it hard jurisdictionally or so forth.” In other words, there are people behind these cryptocurrencies using a variety of complex and legally opaque mechanisms, but at the most basic level, they are trying to promote their tokens and entice investors. (Bitcoin, because of its unique history and creation story, is fundamentally different from other crypto projects in this respect.)

> “They might drop their tokens overseas at first and contend or pretend that it’s going to take six months before they come back to the U.S.,” he continued. “But at the core,” he argued, “these tokens are securities because there’s a group in the middle and the public is anticipating profits based on that group.”

In databases, "locks" have a very specific meaning.

What engineers would call a "lock", is referred to as a "latch" in DBMS internals terminology.

A "lock" then is a higher level abstraction that functions as a logical lock rather than a fine-grained physical one.

Locks are generally used to control access to database objects like rows, pages, tables, etc, to ensure data integrity and transactional consistency.

"Latches" are low-level synchronization primitives used to protect access to internal DB structures.

Another example Carlin provides is "cripple". It can be used as both an adjective and as a verb and concisely describes the situation. It's entirely neutral and free of euphemism.

He also makes a similar argument for "retarded".
About [2], BitGrid:

If I read correctly, that concept maps really well to LUTs as used in FPGAs (but note it's not the same!).

Its author/inventor Mike Warot has the simple but useful idea of making the configuration space of such a device a simple memory array (like RAM or EEPROM cells). Write some bits to a memory location -> cell [x,y] in the device's grid is configured.

This would make it trivial to control/interface such a 'compute grid' to traditional cpus. To a cpu it would just look like regular RAM.

Anyone know if there's work towards applying that idea to FPGAs? It would basically evaporate the problem of [closed source FPGA vendor toolchains].

Obviously, bitstreams produced by FPGA vendor tools will do a somewhat similar thing. But what/how exactly is opaque. Not to mention encrypted bitstreams, read-protection & what have you. Hence require re-engineering effort for open source tool support.

Turning this into a dead simple 1:1 mapping would be a huge step forward.

I don't think we want to describe sexual assault victims as having "shell shock". Even a soldier could get "shell shock" without encountering any shells. The language got softer not because we're all a bunch of softies but because we noticed a general pattern and generalized the name to match.

It's not objective. "Under" implies some ideal state of development, and that anything under that threshold is deficient, which is subjective. That's why I say it's a loaded term.

They are now running the legal risk of the EU commission or some national bureaucrat thinking their models training data are not representative enough or documentation insufficient. How can these things even begin to become judicial questions?

I didn't read all of the article but I've watched that bit multiple times, IIRC his point was all of these euphemisms sanitize the language and hide the meaning and emotions behind words. PTSD is a clinical word with less emotional connotations, it sounds more manageable and it's easier to forget.

Maybe if we didn't change what it was, it would've been a bit more difficult to send people to wars where they can get 'shellshocked' instead of 'experiencing PTSD'.

Deflection, (self)censorship, there's a number of reasons.

Toilet paper became bathroom tissue because some people think toilets are gross.

Shellshock became battle fatigue so that people aren't discouraged from going to war; "they're just tired". It became post-traumatic stress disorder to make it both clinical, and to put it on the person having it - YOU have a disorder after a traumatic event.

Modern day example, people self-censor to avoid getting downranked, censoring words like "sex" into "s*x", "kill" into "unalive", "suicide" to "sewer slide", etc.

The book 1984 takes it to its extremes, where the language has changed to control the discourse and masses.
>"Americans have trouble facing the truth," Carlin said. "So they invent a kind of a soft language to protect themselves from it"

It is useful and not limited to Americans, that's why people do it. Much more people would have been vegans or they would be much more indifferent to violence if every pack of meat had a QR code to a video showing the life and processing of that particular animal.

It's also not just softening that's practiced but hardening too. We dehumanise people all the time if we want to suppress them or kill them institutionally.

We humans like to live in an idealised reality, a fiction where we are just and don't practice cruelty, our parent's don't have sex, people have roles(social roles, gender roles, political roles etc) and they always act in a way to honour that.

The reality is much more different of course, we kill animals at scale we call terrorist or another dirty word those who we have institutional violent conflicts with and exterminate them, our parents have sex just like anyone else, mothers/fathers/leaders/police/ceo's are human too and they have human desires and human faults.

Then there's cultural movements trying to bring these things closer to reality or push them into a new virtual reality. The sex revolution in the west that the eastern world never had for example creates huge divide between lifestyle and family structures between westerners and easterners(it's not that easterner are backward, it's simply another path they took). The more devout muslims practice ceremonial animal sacrifice which often happens on the streets with kids around, so they tend to have different relationship with the animal killing(no, they are cruelty or anything like that, it's just different).

IMHO, it's nothing special to Americans but Americans tend to have control over the pop culture because the USA is the dominant culture of the last century. Also, Americans are masters of marketing and they choose their words very intentionally(like the discussion over abortions are framed like "pro choice" and "pro life", which can be very confusing for non-americans).
That's funny we went the opposite way in France, "invalid" in the past, now "handicapped".
> Most modern conceptions of UBI don’t conform to its literal meaning anymore, Michael Mendelson, a fellow with the poverty policy think tank Maytree, told the Star.

> Nowadays, UBI has come to mean any kind of basic income plan, which usually takes the universal form or a “guaranteed” income plan that scales depending on a person’s need.

Step 1: redefine the term?

Looking at the text of the 2021 bill, which you should probably read instead, it uses the term "livable basic income", not UBI. So at least that's more honest. The text is here, it's really very light, closer to an announcement of an announcement than a plan: https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/44-1/bill/S-233/first-...

Is there an updated bill somewhere that has more detail? There were debates this year that you can sorta read here:

That said, I'd worry about the lack of planning or driving vision. Those are two critical parts of any early stage CEO position. Do you know why they are so focused on the near term? Is it because they're trying to drive an MVP so they can fundraise or sell? Because they don't have a vision? I'd probably dig into that and try to understand why.

Invalid is derived from Latin with validus meaning "strong" or "in order". The German and Dutch uses of the word are derived directly from invalidus meaning ~"weak" (maybe via French), while the English word (as its mostly used) is an English(!) negation of "valid", which leans on the "in order" part to get to "inappropriate" or "not correct".

If you don’t need the result from the joined table, a semijoin is often the fastest way. In the given example, if there was more data in the tables, it’s likely the planner would choose that. Not as familiar with MSSQL as MySQL and Postgres so I’m not positive.

Also, the good news is the planners are increasingly better at converting your desired end state into queries utilizing features like this, without you explicitly telling them to.
