But letting the people buy a stable asset that still protect them from inflation is. Maybe I'm wrong, but if they could but it from the bank too, why did they choose cryptocurrency way? I'm sure they had a rational explanation.

You don't get anywhere faster "learning" from something that lies to you 20% of the time.

It's a bit like working with a bad colleague who is very fast, but very arrogant. You can't trust what they say because they're wrong often enough to make costly mistakes common. But you can't fight them on every little thing, either. The only solution is to already be an expert, and ignore them when they're wrong.

I honestly believe AI -- if it has a dramatic impact at all -- will only reduce the value of junior employees.
If AI is “good enough” but you need to be senior to use it don’t we need less juniors? Like, just enough to replenish the retiring seniors.

Completely valid as well. Makes a lot of sense to diversify, no need to be all in.

With that said; there are few other assets that have accumulated this much value over their initial existence. BTC market cap just passed silver. Gold is a 10x away. So yes it absolutely has volatility but the greater trend is exclusively up with little sign of stopping.
Yeah, I think this was just a sample. There’s no mention of naegleria fowleri[0], which will definitely kill you even if you’re healthy. Wikipedia cites nasal irrigation as the source for about 9% of infections. Still not super high risk, but still a risk that I’ll happily avoid.

People who descend into this are kind of missing the point of the XY problem in the first place.

The XY problem is to get all parties involved in thinking about the actual goal and how to achieve that goal. By presuming you know what the Y is already, you're kinda falling to the XY problem yourself.

Very rarely do we need to, for example, draw a square for the sake of drawing a square, there's usually a larger problem we're trying to solve.

Using this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10024188 as the example.

None of those responses is actually relevant to solving the XY problem (if it exists). The user wants to draw a square with HTML Canvas. Before suggesting any course of action, we need to know why he wants to do that.
That sounds unrelated to housing density
> more and more people want it every day and are buying it

This is incorrect. From Coinbase SEC filings, retail trade is 1/8 of what it was in 2021, last time the price was this high.

Even as the price has risen over the course of the past year, less and less people have wanted bitcoin every day. We have the numbers on this from the largest actual-dollar crypto exchange.

Miners have hoarded coins since 2021 because if they sold them the price would cash. They took out loans against their mark-to-market value instead. (Two such lenders were Silvergate Bank and Signature Bank.) When you see sudden multi-thousand dollar crashes in the bitcoin price, it's often a miner having to dump.

The ETFs have taken in $10b net in their entire existence, and a lot of that seems to be churn from other bitcoin-exposed securities.

It's not clear you're informed on the market you're expounding on at such length.
What does the job pay? Fully remote?
Oh, russians are those who want it the most.
It's funny that the expert in the article says exactly the opposite of the article:

> "I think most people are mistaken about it," said Hurlburt. "People are hyper-confident. 'Yes I have inner monologue.' And other people say, 'No I don't have a monologue.' And the chances are pretty good that both sides of the debate are mistaken."

> Hurlburt said what he calls "armchair introspection" likely won't teach you much about your own mind because the act of paying attention "screws up your everyday inner life."

I think he is saying we all have all aspects of thinking, to varying extents and therefore everyone has inner monologue to some extent.
As much as I don’t like the direction they’re going, it’s understandable that they can’t maintain it for free forever.

I think the gatekeept features are indeed for enterprises and individual users aren’t affected too much. If you’re a company and use Gitea, it would be nice to pay. One thing I don’t know is whether enterprise customers get to review the source code.
It doesn’t seem like this is a safe way to mitigate the risks discussed in the paper. If it cools faster, then it probably wasn’t boiling, and boiling is what kills the things you don’t want up your nose.
I was thinking of ways to get around the peak solar generation being when you don't need it for heating and genuinely really heartening to hear about solutions like this.

The article doesn't mention the costs or complexity in building each unit but definitely implies it's cheaper than storing it batteries, which makes sense if it's essentially a heating element buried in sand.

Wonder what the smallest viable size would be, could you have one for each street / block of flats? One of the comments mentions burying them for better insulation which I'm assuming they didn't want to do just for the prototypes?
we don't know how much each factor contributed to the sh*tstorm but it all came at once: Covid over-hiring, high hopes for LLM efficiency gains, S174, interest rate hikes, mass layoffs (do you really want to go against the crowd and hire when everyone is laying off?).
Every time bitcoin goes up $1 N number of people will die from the networks CO2 output over the coming centuries.

I wish articles like this would clarify whether tap water with salt is still considered "tap water." Tap water that is boiled is no longer considered tap water.

I've read multiple articles like this and always wondered. I know at least one intelligent woman who assumes tap water meant just plain tap water. I'm not so sure.
The first line of the Wikipedia page on Scheme reads "Scheme is a dialect of the Lisp family of programming languages." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(programming_language)

If Scheme is a Lisp dialect, then it is a Lisp. This is commonly how the word is used. You may prefer the more narrow and prescriptive definition you've provided, that's fine I suppose, but as a matter of descriptive linguistics, it is common to refer to Scheme as such as well.

I'm not sure if you're writing from the UK or US, but while the latter has a more stringent 'Accredited Investor' qualification (skilled or wealthy, applied and granted) - and actually flat out doesn't allow CFDs anyway (options are much more common & are retail available) - in the UK this just amounts to a KYC type form where you tick that you understand the risks; they also have to tell you (I assume, because they all do) the percentage of customers that lose money trading them on that platform (typically ~75% from what I've seen).

But they're not 'up to no good', you may not like it, but this is allowed and fully above board. If you search 'HL' and get 'Trading212: shares & CFDs' that's a bad search result, but it's not a scam, they genuinely and legitimately offer that, and compete with HL (which doesn't offer CFDs except through some kind of tie-up with IG).

Is it the United States' policy to fill middle-eastern youth with lascivious/wanton content, or do social media thirst-trap pictures just have excellent engagement?

In both cases, the operators don't have to actively boost that content, and it also is profitable, so they won't voluntarily remove it until forced to do so (by the government or public).
It isn't totally new, nothing under the sun etc etc, but honestly it's closer to a hot water tank than it is to CSP. Which makes sense, since the original conception of PNE was a hot water tank IIRC.

CSP stores heat as a means to produce electricity, the PNE sand battery stores heat as a means to provide heat. CSP's molten salt was heated by pumping it through (solar) heated pipes, which meant it had to have the correct fluid properties etc. The PNE sand is heated in-place via electricity which means it can be basically any old crap, as long as it's inert at 600 degrees or less.

In other words, CSP differs drastically by the energy input method, the energy output method, and the composition and requirements of the storage medium.

Basically all of the PNE tech is centuries old, the point is that together in this specific configuration they're an incredibly cheap heat storage medium - resistive heating, insulation, sand, all cheap.
I suppose the deal came with a guaranteed or enhanced payout. Elon did that with some influencers.

Unemployment is capped very low compared to tech salaries, involves a bunch of paperwork, and requires you to attest that you're actively pursuing opportunties for work in your field.

Lots of highly paid people don't bother with it, even when they might have qualified -- whether because they're lazy to lazy to do the paperwork for a small offset against their expenses, or because they intentionally took time away from the labor market after being fired and aren't into lying about it.
Sure. But Tokyo is also everywhere to everywhere with multiple city centers.

My main point is that “move the jobs” in a sufficiently large city is not generally a working way to reduce commute times.

> The reason we have a housing crisis is because as much as we all love single family homes, they aren't universalizable.

In the US, which has lots of land area, single family homes are the norm:

The majority of the housing stock in the United States is single-family detached houses. Of the total 128.5 million housing units in 2021, about 81.7 million were detached homes and 8.2 million were attached single-family homes. In comparison, roughly 31.8 million units were in multifamily buildings.[1]

The US only has a housing space crisis in over-urbanized areas.

I think a good answer to a question that you think is an XY problem, should answer both X and Y.

When there is an XY problem, Y might be the better option, but most of the time understanding the solution for X is still very interesting.

Also, if somebody can answer Y, but not X, are they really qualified enough to answer the question?

No advective heat transport in sand. In tanks of water, on the other hand...

That means that the hot middle of a sand pile stays hot, instead of advecting to the outside, where it cools by conduction.

This describes a lot of problems with the US but extrapolates them to other Western countries like the EU. Most of the arguments won't work there.
Specification. For any real business, it takes huge effort for a group of people across many domains to consolidate what should be done. That's only the what part.

Not saying competitive programming contest easy or something, but just pointing out that in a contest with timing constraint, the requirement realization phase cannot be fitted in.

Another analogy: martial art vs. military.
No. The only way Europe is doing it that way is because all the national train companies exist and are simply not going away politically. So now they make it somewhat easier to operate train in the other countries.

For the US, it makes sense to have a single main carrier for much of the core system.

> For example, I suspect if Amtrak was forced to compete with private firms for track time in the NorthEast corridor you’d see an explosion of service and a dramatic drop in prices.

That is most probably wrong. Train operations cost once all the infrastructure is paid for is really not that different government vs private. There is simply not that much to compete on.

In fact some of the things that can be improved most, like ticketing and scheduling can be improve more for the costumer if there are less options.

Europe has seen very little actual private companies that compete very well and make a significant difference. There are a few things you can differentiate on. Some budget trains just use shit old rolling stock for example. Just finding creative ways of paying people less.

The reality is, most of the cost is in setting up infrastructure including signaling, maintaining that, then buying nice trains and training good people.

Some private train companies have gotten some investment to buy some nice train sets, but nothing about that is all that amazing. If the government operator had the funds, they could do the same and run the same route.

The reality is that competition on fixed rail infrastructure might be worth doing but its not some magical cost cutting tool.

Politicians who want to offer their constituents good train service should the the ones lobbying. The reality is, if you have private rail companies, they will mostly lobby for ways to reduce work pay because that where they can compete against Amtrak.
It's not even the car that is the problem. It's the lack of viable alternatives to the car. In my city in North America there are almost 1.5 million people, I live about 4 kms from the city center and it's extremely uncomfortable without a car, even though I live on multiple bus and one LRT line within ten minutes of walking. I purposefully bought and built where I am because of all this connectivity, maybe 5 % of the whole city has it as good as I do, the rest have it worse to much worse. I basically live in the best situation in the city for alternatives and it's worse than the crappiest parts of the city for alternative sin places like the Netherlands.

To make alternatives you can look at what the Netherlands does. They have much more relaxed lot coverage, height limits, parking requirements, etc. so they get the same single family square footage in way less geographic area and they intermix that with much higher density so their cities proper are 3-4 times denser than where I live while not feeling cramped. They didn't get rid of the car, what they did do was ensure people had great walking, biking and transit options to fulfill the normal trips that make up their lives. That is vs where I live where I am fine getting downtown with transit, but to my kids schools, groceries, or any other workplace outside of the core, I am screwed. The extra density makes providing these transit options possible (along with reasonable regulation on other areas leading to reasonable density)

What exactly are you saying is equal to "about one air passenger trip to Europe"?

OP says 85 kg/year of Carbon per really big tree.

The first calculator I tried said a one way trip from NYC to London on a 787 is over 1000 kg of CO2: https://co2.myclimate.org/en/portfolios?calculation_id=67960...

Now, C is about 25% of the weight of CO2, so this would be 250 kg of Carbon. Is the calculator overestimating? Is my math wrong? Am I interpreting you wrong? Or are you low by a factor of 3?

The amount of information needed before answering a question can and should vary depending on the question itself, depending on the context. There is zero harm in giving an answer about how to draw a square with HTML Canvas, even if the asker actually has a different problem they're trying to solve—they'll probably figure that out pretty quickly. On the other hand, if the question is "How can I encrypt and decrypt credit card numbers for storage in my database", or "What ratio of bleach to ammonia is best for cleaning mold", some inquiry about the broader problem is warranted.

Your response seems to assume that "XY-probing" responses are equally good as straightforward responses, but they aren't. If your question is solid, it's really annoying when others try to XY-probe it instead of answering it.

Therefore, before giving an XY-probe response to a question, one should think about the probability that the question hides an XY problem.

If the question is about drawing a square, there's no good reason to assume it's an XY problem. Better to just answer the question.

If the question is about something strange that should never come up in typical applications, maybe you can start XY-probing towards the "real question".
