Not nearly as bad as it was 3000 years ago. Back then the European economy was in such a bad shape people couldn't even afford to buy toilet paper.

I for one noticed that they made the water more blue, but didn't connect it to the "blue and orange" color scheme, despite having read about it again just a couple of days ago.

Yes you're right. Quite the embarrassing mistake I made there.

Imagine a really simple game where there are only 2 moves: saying 1 and saying 0. The player who first says 1 wins. So of course the player who has the first turn will in practice always win, but when both players move randomly it's 50

I agree. It's important to keep in mind that non-sociopaths can be as ruthless as sociopaths to people when they don't think of them as people.

While sociopaths can plan ruthlessly they're not necessarily more longterm oriented than non-sociopaths (since they bore more easily I would even expect them to tend to be less longterm oriented). So I consider it highly unlikely that

In the case that bitcoin succeeds we shouldn't expect it to be a smooth ascend. After the dot-com bubble it too seemed like we had seen peak internet. A bunch of people underestimated how hard it is to do something useful with bitcoin,

Except it's not just $12/year for the domain name but also all the hassle of having to administrate it or dealing with someone who administrates it for you. Gmail does have a big convenience bonus.

I love to solve interesting problems as much as any hacker, but software businesses are about helping people and when people are having trouble using their computer then that is part of the job. I think it's worth to spend 1% of your w

Since turing completness implies that you can write an interpreter for any other programming language you can do it in python in at least as many ways as there are programming languages where you can do it.

I think it's latency relative to ipv4. So maybe their ipv4 networks are more congested.

There could be a thousand people on hn who follow the same strategy, it's not that unlikely that it works for one of them and having it work for him makes it more likely that he writes about it.

The distinction I'm drawing is that Linus Torvalds' insults are so obvious and over the top that they are a greater risk to his reputation than to the feelings of the insulted. Whereas with genuine meanness one says things that a.

The chance that the connection dies at exactly this moment is negligible compared to the chance that your hard drive dies. Worry about that.

When the iPad is just laying around you can turn of the screen, the cpu, and the gpu, you can't turn of the ram. So while the power consumption of the ram might be negligible when the iPad is in use, it might be the majority when it is

Their risk profile is quite different from Transmeta. Transmeta was more of an all or nothing thing. Either they were better at running x86 in which case they easily could capture big segments of the market, or they were not in which case n

The mill is not compatible with x86, but the goal is to not require more than a recompile.

Drivers written in JavaScript? Sounds like an insane hack. For performance uncritical stuff it might be worth using a language with GC, but if it is performance uncritical you should be doing it in userspace anyway.

This still would allow side channel attacks on cpu utilization. cpu utilization can be inferred, for example if the attacker has a vm on the same machine, or the attacker can make a second request which completes sooner if the cpu is less u
