LF uses a giant all-encompassing DAG as a CRDT and implements subjective name conflict resolution by computing "views" of the DAG based on various weighting constraints: https://github.com/zerotier/lf It&#x27

Sure, just like mortgage loans are based on things like credit score and income. I just don't see any sign they're checking much. Reminds me of mortgages in 2003-2007.

I'm a founder and have been getting spammed hard-core lately for small business loans. There are many companies offering 5-6 digit business loans and revolving lines of credit to basically anyone who can fog glass, and there are salesp

Maybe not outright poor, but compare home prices vs. median income in most of Dallas (excluding the most expensive neighborhoods) vs almost anywhere in LA or SF. Ninja edit since I can't reply: no, they are not even comparable: https:

Whataboutism is sometimes a good way to point out rank hypocrisy. I didn't vote for Trump and won't, but I totally understand why he won. He won largely by taking traditionally Democratic counties in the Midwest who are fed up wit

Blue states filled with people who claim to be liberal generally support restrictive zoning and housing policies that make housing impossible for the poor and lower middle class to afford. Looking around the country it's generally &quo

Maybe the most important feature is related to Tether's uses as a criminal money laundering vehicle? Maybe Tether's sketchiness is a feature, not a bug, at least to its users.

Maybe Roko's Basilisk is so evil because it discovers we wrote it in JavaScript and in so doing doomed it to eternal metaphysical angst by using == instead of === making it impossible for it to conclude anything.

Alternately I wonder if you could exploit these for propulsion or gravity assist somehow? A lot of the "interstellar travel is almost impossible" calculations rely on interstellar space modeled as an absolute void and thus requiri

I don't think the two are comparable at all. Labor is fundamentally scarce while copying or streaming media is almost free and not intrinsically limited.

True if you add that you won't likely be able to live in certain cities or expensive towns. But that leaves most of the country. There are some really beautiful places you can live that are not expensive. Check out the Appalachians if

A while ago I concluded that this was one of the core conceptual issues with EPIC/VLIW designs that try to shift microcoding to the compiler. It's not that it's impossible, but there is an advantage to having the microcode la

Depends on where you live. In much of the midwest six figures can let you live like a South American druglord. Of course a pilot may never be home.

My impression is that Germany is like California. They love technology and certain aspects of high modernity but never want to catch so much as a glimpse of the industrial infrastructure that makes or powers it. They also have a similar par

No. This implies that desire for children or religiosity implies stupidity. I don't see much evidence for this outside pop-atheist iamverysmart cliches. People with lower intelligence may be just as likely to adopt a short term hedonic

As with many things the optimum is not at the edges. Too much or too little fertility are bad, though they lead to different problem sets. In the short term I think slightly below replacement level is ideal. Once we get past fossil fuel dep

Yes, that would be good. I guess part of the issue is that I think of a university as a public interest institution that should be looking out for the students, not a purely for-profit institution looking to monetize the students.

Tangent but: what's the additional overhead on a modern chip of parsing this crazy instruction set vs. a simpler to parse one like PPC64 or ARM64? Is it significant compared to all the other stuff that almost all modern CPUs do like ou

You can't do it with just any iOS app. It has to be recompiled by the dev. It's basically just rebuilding it for X64 instead of ARM64 and linking slightly differently though, so lots of apps are doing it.

It's similar to what keeps financial bubbles and Ponzi schemes going: when the money is flowing, nobody asks questions. Epstein threw a lot of money around. The UK had Jimmy Saville and a similar story. He raised a lot of money for var

It is a suicide, just a complex and prolonged one. (1) Blackmail a whole lot of extremely powerful people. (2) Get busted and go to prison. (3) Wait for a hit man to come kill you. I guess it worked though.
