    Awesome content, and Julia is very good at recognizing what people need to know to understand the whole thing

    I've never seen such a big protest. The transit system in Hamburg was completely overloaded. People standing around Alster lake, you couldn't even get close to the actual point whe…

    All of those are kind of bad, polling being the most practical, imho. Would be great if Postgres innovated in this area.

    Just to clarify, not trying to correct anyone here, the third attendee was Bob Sproull, author of "Principles of Interactive Computer Graphics"?

    The article says that 40 GW power was reached. And you are talking about MwH (i.e. energy ), so that is a misconception I think. Renewables share for the whole last week in Germany…

    Makes a lot of sense to me. Intel's production cannot keep up and so it's only TSMC and Samsung with a big gap. I think some people will be surprised when TSMC starts taking more a…

    I was also surprised by that but there may be some slightly unusual background reason for that that simply doesn't get mentioned. Superficially it sounds like the author should jus…

    So I feel the "Bitcoin is undesirable as a store of value because it's so volatile" point is not too fair. Firstly, fiat money can often experience instability which is quite extre…

    I think about Bitcoin (and similar systems) primarily as a long term store of value. I think they are a pretty fundamental innovation in that space. What are good alternatives? Gol…
