Given bitcoin is doing about 7 transactions a second, you might have trouble finding a financial institution small enough.

I guess a very small hedge fund would probably cover it, one with about 15-30 people working at the organisation in total, they probably fit in a small office in London.

The thing about phone numbers, though, is that you already have a lot of them in your contacts. Centralized apps can leverage that.

Usernames are nice, but you probably don't know whether your dentist uses Discord, or what is their username if they do. With Signal, however, you would probably notice (or be informed) when they sign up.
As the downvoted comment explains, there's good quality masks coming out of China and there's tons of questionable quality masks. Differentiating between the two is difficult if not impossible.

Personally I am using some Chinese made masks every now and then from a reasonably well known company, but they are CE certified FFP2 masks. Still prefer big brands when I can get them though, but they're still ridiculously expensive.
Here’s Rob Pike’s proposal to change Go’s int to be arbitrary precision in Go 2.0. But after five years of debate about “performance”, the proposal has stalled.

I've never been able to quite understand what was going on with V (and the associated messenger client Volt written in it), but it seems to be something a bit more complicated than just a language barrier. I made a habit of checking the Volt website for a while out of interest in using the project, and it was somewhat surreal how fast the documented timeline would change. There was a super specific timeline in terms of what month features would land out as far as 2-3 years (e.g. "support for $os in $current_year + 2, open source in $current_year + 3), and but then as the months went by, the items on the timeline would not land, and the timeline would get revised pushing things out with no announcement of any sort. The platforms that were supported seemed to be constantly changing; one month there would be a Windows binary with Mac and Linux listed as "coming soon", and then the next month, there would be a Mac one but the Windows one was gone with no explanation. Charitably, I think the developer had fairly unrealistic expectations for how future work would progress and probably a lack of focus on following the plan they had publicly stated. I don't _think_ there was any malicious intent, but ultimately I felt like I wouldn't be able to trust that the products would be reliable if/when they did end up releasing and lost interest in following the timeline.
Renting a room comes with its own logistical nightmares, fwiw. Navigating the entire roomate interview process sucks. More than once I've had friends who deal with roomates have months at a time too stressed to advance their other career goals because roomates stealing their shit, playing loud music, refusing to leave, not paying on time, etc etc. When you don't have "fuck you" money, there is surprisingly little necessary to royally fuck up your plans to get out of the bad situation you're in.

For anyone who has lived in several countries, it should be obvious that direct cost-of-living comparisons rarely make sense. The actual costs depend so much on your income level and life situation that no single number can accurately reflect them.

Let's take Finland, the UK, and the US as examples, as they are the countries I'm most familiar with. At $30k/year (individual income), the US is much more expensive than the other two, mostly due to things like healthcare, childcare, education, unemployment, sick/parental leaves, and pensions. The UK might be a bit more expensive than Finland.

At $100k/year, the cost of living is more or less similar in all three countries. The weight of benefits and subsidized services is lower, because they take a smaller fraction of your income. The US may still be more expensive if you have kids, but it can also be cheaper if you don't have them and are never going to get then. The UK may also be a bit cheaper than Finland due to lower taxes.

At $200k/year, the US is the cheapest country and Finland is the most expensive one, primarily due to taxes.
>normally we have aside a physical local social life

A normal physical local social life is dramatically smaller in quantity than the working day. Meeting friends for meals or weekend activities does not really make up for being alone 9-5 Monday-Friday. And it is pretty hard to activate people on weeknights after 5-7 hours of Zoom.
You did not come off as accusatory, and these are good questions to ask. I also understand the hesitation in trying it out. Do keep it in mind though if you ever have a toy project and a few hours...you might like it!

I am currently working as a firmware engineer but I wouldn’t mind working as a software engineer higher up in the stack. I care about code quality, developer productivity, and developer experience. I love command line tools too.
Looks cool!

BTW, the convention would be for `static SIZE: i8 = 8;` (i.e. upper case), and I would strongly recommend you don't use `i8` for that, because SIZE * SIZE = 0 (but not in const-exprs, it seems). `uint` is the type of the smallest size that is guaranteed that to work for all array indexing.

Also, you can use `bool` instead of i8 for your array elements. (A Rust bool is a u8/i8 that is guaranteed to be either 0 or 1, i.e. exactly what your code has.)

Lastly, one conventionally matches on just `None` rather than `None()`. (This actually lead me to file https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/12560 to make it require that there be no `()`, so thank you for prompting that.)
I think maybe it depends on what "without really studying for it" means? If you show up alert to each class, take notes, ask questions, and do a thorough job on your homework, the amount of specific exam studying that you need to do to ace an exam goes way down compared to if you slack up until the exam. If you've been doing this since first grade, the cumulative advantage by senior year high school is immense.

So "perspective" is what's telling you to invade the islands and slaughter millions of civilians while causing millions of American casualties? Remember the goal here is to win the war that Japan started.

Presumably you have a proposed option to have done that without atomic weaponry and that the Americans should have recognized with the information available to them; what is that option?
I also went through most of middle/high school not having to really study things but somehow ending up with pretty stellar grades. To be honest, it made me arrogant and caused me to not appreciate the value of hard work in general. The more effortless an achievement, the more I respected it. Those who worked really hard were "try hards." Besides, I got better grades than them anyways.

In general there was an attitude among my circle of friends to try and show off how little work they can do to still pull off a high score. I would say yes, most of the people I know who are considered "gifted" in general do work harder in the background than they let on. They themselves probably want to believe that they can effortlessly achieve in the classroom (and probably in life).

I think for me, at least, what happened was that I would really get into things and work extremely hard for a short period of time (sometimes without realizing it) and then coast for a while and appear as though I'm super talented and naturally good at many subjects. I don't think I was consciously planning any of this, but it just happened that way.

Looking back now, I do think that the attitude was pretty immature and obnoxious.
Biden's presidency is not the abnormal thing. It'll be yet another neo-liberal administration.

The abnormal thing is the genie of reactionary populism that the Republicans unleashed a decade ago, starting with the Tea Party, and culminating with the Trump party. Given that prominent republicans (Ted Cruz) are actively trying to marshal those forces behind them[1], I don't think that we'll be going back to normal anytime soon.

[1] He's far more likely to win the 2024 nomination than someone like Mitt Romney, who, for all his faults, is not happy with Trumpism.

Yes. Can somebody explain why IU units are being used for vitamin D and why they are to be preferred over standard units like mg and mcg?
Could I ask for any examples of software you're buying on Linux? Outside of games (Steam), niche software (ModelSim/QuestaSim), and tools that I just don't need the full power of to justify their cost (MATLAB), I've found that the Linux ecosystem doesn't have many paid tools.

For one instance, I'd be willing to pay for Photoshop - and I did pay for Photoshop when I was still a Windows user. But instead I use some combination of okay free software (GIMP) and unpolished free software (Hugin) instead, because that's what's available.
Is it common to refer to all hominids (here: homo habilis and homo erectus) as humans? For some reason I thought the term human was limited to homo sapiens (195k years old)

Of course they're both valuable. But you cannot reasonably contend that the graffiti is more valuable; it is much less valuable.

> In linguistics for instance graffiti can tell you things about the language and its evolution that the formal language won't communicate, like how certain letters stop being pronounced or become pronounced differently.

This certainly doesn't apply to Latin, which survives today as several robust living languages. We can easily determine how the sounds of Latin changed without making reference to graffiti.

(And of course, the formal literature has quite a bit to say on the sounds of the language, too.)

A few years ago I got sick a lot and even got shingles. A blood test showed I was extremely vitamin D deficient so I've been supplementing ever since.

So like Stuart Smalley, while I'm not a doctor, I have read a lot about it due to my own health problems.

The long and the short of it is that vitamin D is a hormone that takes weeks of supplementation to build up to sufficient levels. This hormone is instrumental in having a functional immune system.

With regards to covid, severity seems to depend on immune system response. So it's not unreasonable to think vitamin D is necessary but not singularly sufficient to prevent severe covid.
My personal site is definitely not a shell, but it occurred to me I could add shell-like functionality as a console easter egg and get in on the fun.

> thinking the system has to be the same for everyone

True. The problem is meritocracy quickly falls apart when humans are responsible for implementing it, for example see the recent celebrity college admission bribery scandal. The Netflix series "3%" is based on this.

Given we don't radically change the % of GDP spent on education, a single system focussing on the lowest common denominator makes sense.

I mean, we could coddle your genius, but if the trade-off is lack of workers, or a society that succumbs to populist autocracy...

> You can label anything fascism.

This is like saying that words don't mean anything, so we should stop trying to use them. No one agrees on a hard line between fascist and not-fascist, but that doesn't mean it's entirely an artificial distinction.

Is the ACLU fascist? What about Ron Paul? Obviously "no" to both of those.

And what about neo-Nazis who describe themselves as fascists?

> Trump was labeled a racist and it's as stupid as calling Biden communist.

Someone should tell that to Richard Nixon's Justice Department, who successfully sued Donald Trump for being racist in 1973[1]. Or you should tell the white supremacists who celebrated Trump's victory[2]. If you're going to fish for weak "both sides are the same" examples, you're going to have to find an example that isn't so easy to counter-argue.

> You should have protections so the corporations and bankers don't have too much power over politics.

Unfortunately the First Amendment gives corporations and bankers an enormous amount of power over what they choose to say and publish, which means they have political power. You can't do anything about that except scrap the First Amendment.

> This is an argument for unit tests, not for a statically typed language.

Static typing is like unit tests that take no maintenance.

> Type errors tend to be very few and far between compared to logic errors.

False distinction. If you just take your python code and write it line-by-line in another language, sure, you won't gain much. But if you actually work with the language, you turn logic errors into type errors. See e.g. http://spin.atomicobject.com/2014/12/09/typed-language-tdd-p... , and note that that's a lot more verbose than it would be in a modern language with type inference, higher kinds and so on.
The problem is at the intersection of welfare and work. You have to be really poor and stay really poor to qualify for most of these social programs, and the programs are designed to be pretty minimal and thereby encourage people to work. At the same time, they disincentivize much of the low-paying work that many people on welfare can obtain, because they will be worse off without the handout. This is what unconditional basic income is supposed to address. It is also the source of concern about jobs going away, that a much larger number of people are going to be swept into government-subsidized poverty, which will put strains on the already burdened welfare system in the US. Where will the money come from?
More importantly the math doesn't work out. Some people have way more costs because they're disabled, sick, have a large number of kids.
Actually, it's more 'strict' than that:

"Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use."

I did split ioerror's duraconf nginx configs in 3 distinct configs with different ciphersuites lists, that specifically list desired ciphers in order, targetting :

It depends on how you experience the world too. Some people suffer too much from interactions, some it's a 80/20 thing (my case) and being without nobody actually feels less lonely than when with people and feeling out of place surrounded by persons enjoying something that you either reject or simply can't understand. It's not entirely definitive, but to me the benefits of social interactions are often a little below their cost. I just read that it was often the case for introverts, their mind flows better when they're alone (unless they find someone who they can 'sync' with)

My conclusion would be that one should try to find and converge towards whatever fits his needs. You got to know how isolation was not for you, good thing.

No question. I think you can make the argument Ethereum (and to a lesser extent, Polkadot) could be fairly valued due to what it represents (platform for distributed applications, I refuse to use the shorthand phrase for it or decentralized finance), but BTC is simply just gold / reserve currency in nature and always will be per the Blockstream team's desires. So there's no way BTC's valuation relative to other stores of value is correct.

There are potential paradigm shifters in the cryptocurrency space as much as HN wants to shit on it, but I also agree with your larger point more than I disagree with it.
I agree, but a lot of what you fear is already happening. People are putting in a lot of time for advancing their career in various ways - learning new skills, taking extra classes, attending conferences, lectures, networking, etc. All of that is time they don't get paid for and don't spend with their family/friends, etc, etc.

>This is why all workers need to take a stand and not allow employers to exploit them, not to agree to work unreasonable hours.

Them having margins in no way means it's a waste of money. That's not how things work. It would cost just companies so much more money for the devops team needed to achieve parity with the services they provide.

Not even when you knew about the law and its requirements, violating their own university policies, having professors committing fraud by attesting their course materials were accessible, etc? Read the DoJ findings below, Berkeley is not a victim here in my opinion.

Regardless, no one said Berkeley had to take the videos down. They chose to do that on their own because it was too “expensive” to make them accessible.

However, I did not see Berkeley turning down federal funding, which is in part why they are legally required to make their courses accessible (Section 504, for those wondering). Funny how that stuff works.
