This is only true for Bitcoin, there are many others without the transaction bottleneck and the ridiculous fees.
It refers to Warsaw Ghetto Uprising as "the Warsaw Uprising", which looks like lack of knowledge that these are two distinct uprisings.
Yes, there are.

IPFS, I believe, has a solution. The one I am most familiar with is Dat Browser.
Thanks to TLS, Netflix and Fast are indistinguishable. All your ISP knows is the IP address you’re talking to. They’d only know that you visited Fast in particular if you were using your ISP’s DNS, which you shouldn’t be using anyways :)
Every time you accept user-controlled input you need to think about filtering, and sanity-checking.

Indeed. On reddit, r/chapotraphouse was also deleted a while back because it was (AFAIU) a casual tankie forum that didn't mind calling for violence, or at least insinuating it
> People died anyway.

Same happened at CHAZ, a couple black kids got killed by some nutjob police LARPers.

I don’t recall a big hubbub blaming left wing rhetoric or arguing for the immediate destruction and disbanding of the autonomous zones. I remember an absolute heartbreaking interview with the kid’s father.

There was no interest for the BLM crowd to hold their own accountable.
While it may be end to end encryption I am under the impression that Apple has the keys so they could decrypt the messages if they wanted. I don't have an iPhone but I think when you get a new one your old messages are migrated over. Not sure if that is true but if it is that would almost certainly mean Apple has the ability to decrypt your messages themself.
Yes, great job on the apps although I must ask, why did the Android app never get a transaction search feature like the iOS and web apps have?
OP likely posts to the site regularly. An thinks the site is an excellent place full of patriots that just so happens to want to stop an evil ring of pedophiles that just so happen to be filled with all of Trump's political enemies.

I was reading the heated comment threads yesterday about Chrome and it occurred to me that what we really needed was an RFS. It would be great if others want to run with their own RFS ideas, but this is definitely is not meant to mock YC or HN or be disrespectful in the slightest. </disclaimer>

It seems that just in the last few weeks, I've heard about a lot more startups basing their business (or at least their MVP) on Chrome apps/extensions. Is it just the apophenia, or is this indeed starting to appeal to the founders out there?
Working for a large but still quickly growing company has been, for me, the best of both worlds. There's still a lot of upside in stock options and in career path because of the growth. You get to dabble in politics and you have a large community of people to learn from and keep in contact with in the future.

And usually, these companies are not mired in the large and unwieldy bureaucracy that is common in large and established companies. i.e. companies like Facebook, Zynga, Google 5 years ago, etc.

However, my experience is limited to two big-but-growing companies, one startup, and one small but completely dysfunctional. Too small a sample size for definitive generalization.

Catan "serves as a model for solving contemporary problems such as trade imbalances, nuclear proliferation, and climate change." Huh? Catan is a GAME! You play with your friends! It is fun! Its creator was trying to improve the gameplay of Monopoly, not solve the world's problems. Why oh why must journalists strain to tie everything in with their conception of the zeitgeist.
Being a stalker doesn't make you crazy. In our pop-culture world we have plenty of stalkers and I'd bet they're not completely out of their minds; just suddenly obsessed over a particular person(s).

Also, I don't know how many HNers have actually interacted with a person who is locked-up because they've been labeled insane. I can say that my dad & wife have interacted with many in their line of work and what I've learned from them is that even a lot of those that are locked up are not totally out of their minds. Usually it's some kind of environmental stimulus that triggers their "madness". But in a controlled facility (sometimes with medication as well) they can tell very coherent stories of their childhood, what school(s) they went to, what they did yesterday, about their parents/siblings, etc.

Don't automatically discount the views of a crazy person. More often than not they're not totally 100% crazy, just have certain issues that make them unable to function in our society.

I personally believe her illustrations are mostly accurate if for no other reason than the "unnatural" rush of comments trying to discredit her.
I tried this, and got multiple versions of the truecrypt volume file, filling up my Dropbox account. Pretty nasty, since I had to merge the changes of each variation back in one volume by hand.

This article resembles the recent posts about using git on Dropbox - I wonder if people actually tried this for a longer period, because it just doesn't work, unless you mount the volume only one machine simultaneously and always sync after unmounting (easy to forget after mobile use).
It seems I spoke too soon. It's only nine days later, and Google Contacts has changed: Now it's way faster, and looks a lot different too!
just saying, mentioning a well known anti pattern as "advanced level of understanding" is kinda odd.

other than that i believe most of us know that there are shitloads (and then some) of bad javascript devs out there.
Investing in a C-corp keeps the personal taxes of the investors simple. LLC's are pass-through entities which means all income of the LLC must be mentioned on their personal tax returns via a K-1 schedule.
Your point makes perfect sense if one is of opinion that human life can be pegged to monetary value at some exchange rate.

If you hold any other opinion, you are fooling yourself. A lot of people will go to great length to deny it, but if you think about it unprejudiced, you'll have to accept it. There are just too many instances where spending amount X of money can save a life and people make the conscious decision not to do so because X is more than they can or want to afford. Usually they'll rationalize or otherwise hide this reason (or even the fact that they even made a decision), but it's there.

And this is indeed the founding assumption at which many totalitarian regimes operate.

How does this have anything to do with totalitarian regimes?

20 year old black guy walking down street gets stopped by cops. Cops find one joint. Punishment: 5 years... he'll serve between 24 and 36 months if he's smart and stays out of trouble inside.

20 year old white guy walking down street gets stopped by cops. (I know, I know, it probably wouldn't happen. Just suspend reality for a moment. You know. Humor me). Again, cops find one joint. DA declines to prosecute. 20 year old white guy is referred to drug treatment options.
In retrospect I wonder if Google not doing their own phone was in fact a good thing because it gave other parties the confidence to embrace Android while keeping Google away from hardware which isn't their strong point. In many ways it reminds me of Microsoft in the 80s with MS-DOS, although I sort of see iOS as being closer to to the Apple II than the Mac (although I think that analogy feels a bit stretched and is oversimplified).

I thought so too, though the only case I clearly observed is that fanpages you liked tend to show more often in your feed the more you interact with them. It feels like it follows some kind of exponential curve wrt. how often you like posts.

That would be a very welcome change.
I can relate to this article so much!! I'm in my late twenties and I sleep in like a teenager. The mornings are so painful for me. I also eat a lot of pasta.... so will try this new trick!
It's not as if it's a defense against emulating the consoles on a PC: That's not really a problem worth investing time into. However, those tricks also work against bootleg hardware, which can be seen as emulation. It even works against counterfeit cartridges, in the case of the save game trick.

DS games also come with copy protection to stop people from running it in cartridges that run gmaes off of images, like the R4. In that case, the product the pirates offered was actually better than buying an original cartridge: I could buy 20 games and carry a case of games, or keep them al in a single micro SSD card, and switch games at will from the boot menu.
My entire life I've know what I wanted to do. I've never been in your situation. At first I assumed that everyone was like me and that everyone has a strong direction/motivation. I was wrong, most people have no idea at 19 where they want to be. So firstly don't worry about it.

You'll get out of University what you put in and at 19 not everyone is in a position to put a lot in. I certainly wasn't. I went to a top University in the UK and basically wasted four years. I came out a lot better off but I didn't milk it for all it was worth. You may consider a gap year but that can be expensive. Taking a year out to work for charity can help you mature and see the world a little. Gap years are no panacea though.

Since you don't know your story yet I recommend that you read other people's stories. You can read Founders at Work or something by Bill Gates but first I'd recommend reading Cherry-Garrard's account of Scott's attempt on the South Pole "The Worst Journey in the World". It changed my whole perception of life. Scott's team knew there was a good chance they would die. They knew they didn't know HOW to get to the pole. They knew they didn't know how to survive at -60c. It's an amazing story and has inspired me for 10 years now. Most things in life are a mystery but that shouldn't stop you reaching the south pole. Cherry-Garrard himself was too weak and short sited for the trip but showed so much determination and courage that Scott let him join the team.

Hopefully you'll find something inspiring. From inspiration comes drive and from drive comes a determination to do something. Since most of the world is a mystery you'll have to look for that something to do but it's out there, somewhere.

Anyway, I've prattled on a little like the old fart I am :)

Good luck.
FYI, I'm 26; anyway here is my advice.

* Don't focus on the goal: You might set some big goals, but don't focus on them too much (focus on the process instead and probably you'll be happy with the outcome).

* Change slowly: Monitor yourself, summarize what you did each day and try to change things one at a time. Changes that need time to take effect cannot be made quickly (the same way it's not a good idea to adjust water temperature quickly while you're showering).

* Know yourself: Know your limits, and what makes you tick. Monitor yourself and your friends. Figure out why those people are your friends. (It helps to understand yourself better). What are your weaknesses, what are strengths? Hint: what are the things you enjoyed doing when you were a little kid? Try to find activities / work that's similar to that.

* Learn from others: Get to know people, who you respect, and are smarter than you; learn from them. (Also a great way to keep your ego checked)

* Remember to spend time with your loved ones. Do it for them, and for you.
Absolutely. My wifi (pic in the article) was in one far corner of the house.
It only matters on Tuesdays.
Why the word 'Mega'.
Out of curiosity, what games would you put in which category?

I would class something like WoW as negative and games like Civilisation as positive, which makes me think it has something to do with where you do the "work". In WoW, the "work" is all in-game, killing monsters for rewards etc. In Civilisation much more of the "work" is done planning your next moves, which is more of an out-of-game activity, meaning you can continue "playing" the game while you do other things.
1. Read everything you can.

2. Show, don't tell

3. Take advice from smart people

4. Trust your instincts

5. Listen
I can imagine - must be disappointing when you take the effort and nothing happens. Personally, I had a fantastic improvement in signal strength. In fact, strangely enough, the signal also improved in the room right below the one where the directional+wifi was.
That's a good point. I also think `asyncio` was way too late in the game. I just wanted to mention the feature that was missed from your comment, which I think is not fair to Python.
I was curious to see what my JIT build looked like for me so I ran the following: https://gist.github.com/cararemixed/c232b888b9dbdaeb67967f35...

This shows a significantly different story between the two with at least similar code. Note I am not trying to optimize for the fastest factorial here as both can be made much quicker but roughly equivalent code seems to tell a different story for me.

(NOTE: I put the code in a module as iex interpreted expressions on the top level are always slower than compiled modules, even when pasting them into iex. Doing the same for Ruby didn't show any difference for me.)
I'd also say that US states are quite varied in their culture. Maybe not as much as European countries, but still the comparison between US and Western Europe is not between a single hue and a rainbow, but rather between different spectra.
I wasn’t aware that a fresh lease with a new tenant in a rent-controlled apartment in SF had any sort of “market rate” price restrictions. I know that some units have price increase restrictions between tenants when the outgoing tenant was evicted for certain reasons [0], but can you point me to this “market rate” restriction?

Ohhh, this is going to be a disaster for Manufactured Spend.
Good point. I forgot to click the "actual price" button.
In fact, the Google Search team has made changes to their algorithm over the years SPECIFICALLY to reduce crowdsourced answers sites from appearing in search results. It's a conscious decision.

> My personal favorite: how long is a month?

I like "730.5 hours" (usually rounded to just 730). It's a good fit for services billed by the hour or minute. I use it regularly to answer "how much per month" for AWS stuff. But yeah - it fits in there with your "Just no..." category.
I recall a Game of Thrones mod for CK2 that seemed like a very appropriate combination.
This is why I like having the controller in a virtual machine offsite. Factory resetting the router and pairing it to the same site in the separate controller gets me back to the same exact place I expect to be.

With the UDM series, the integrated controller ensures you lose everything if you have to factory reset, site to site VPNs have to be manually configured, and numerous other minor annoyances crop up (like UI.com not always being able to connect to the controller).
It doesn't matter what programmers believe, it matters what programmers can do with the computers available.

This is what makes me love a word. When I can find a word that just perfectly and succinctly expresses what I'm trying to communicate, I love it. I don't use large or obscure words to show off; I use them because I enjoy having exactly the right word to say what I mean.
I hope that airports will follow suit. Having to pay for WiFi at major airports is a frustrating experience.

Now that Starbucks is offering free WiFi, the value proposition to subscribe to national WiFi hotspot networks like Boingo diminishes.
A nuclear event would fit that and could certainly happen in the next 20 years --

- Israel bombing all suspected Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran retaliating with a nuke.

- Low level or dirty bomb by any number of terrorists groups in the world. India/Pakistan is a pressure cooker right now. Could happen in Europe, the Mid-East or America.
I haven't looked at your web page, but living in a world saturated with advertising and lawyer-induced disclaimer/warning/contract pollution has caused me personally to develop a very powerful filter. If there's something on the top or sides in text or flashy colors or dancing animations: ignore. If there's some checkbox associated with terms and conditions that I have to check to get where I want to go: ignore the text and click the box. If you have "SHIPPING IN 4-6 WEEKS" in flashing red 28 point characters with a giant check box that I need to click before you will process my order, I guarantee you that the checkbox will be clicked without me actually reading and understanding that it will take 4-6 weeks for my item to arrive. You can thank the people who bombard me every day with this useless visual spam for the fact that I probably won't notice when you're trying to tell me something important about your service that is different from what I would naturally expect.
mahalo seems to be reasonably smart with their SEO trickery. i'd guess that they tested it and found benefits.
There's a lot of hate for Comic Sans, and it's not the fault of the font itself, but the fault of those who use it, and possibly because it's in MS Windows.

If life was fair, people would also be laying into the Chicago font ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_%28typeface%29 ) that ships with Macs, and that can still be seen on designs produced by crappy agencies. However, Apple-bashing is less cool than MS-bashing!

It's not the font, but what it was designed for (fun, on-screen - see http://www.connare.com/whycomic.htm ) and how it's been used (on signage, in print).

There's also the element of wanting to appear a font snob by picking the easy target of Comic Sans... As Connare himself said "If you love it, you don’t know much about typography and if you hate it you really don’t know much about typography either and you should get another hobby."

Post something better, then.
You are fighting a losing battle trying to bring math and economic constraints into what is a parade of hand-wringing about poor workers who are being exploited by fat cat owners. Bringing up that these businesses have been losing money in Italy -- and really have no incentive to continue operating there -- goes against the narrative.

After these companies close up shop, taxpayers can pay the unemployed workers who at least aren't being exploited.

There is a reason why Italy historically has a huge gray market, particularly young people working under the table, as it's tough to operate legally in Italy unless you have both a monopoly and pricing power, or are at least politically connected enough to avoid many of your financial obligations, which on paper are quite burdensome.

That creates a vicious circle where the government is drained of funds as income goes unreported, so they make it harder on those legal companies left, which then either need to sell out to a politically protected monopoly or themselves go into the gray market and the cycle gets worse.

The problem with these delivery companies was they they tried to be legal -- only a fool or a monopolist does that in Italy. With the right connections they would have been protected.

You have similar problems in Greece, for similar reasons. Both of these nations have shadow economies that are estimated to be 20% of GDP. To put that into perspective, the Government share of GDP is 50%, so of the share of GDP attributed to the private sector, 40% of that consists of unreported income. Italy ranks 137 out of 189 in terms of tax evasion, the biggest problem being unreported business income. https://www.oecd.org/tax/administration/italy-tax-administra...

This was before Covid. Now, who knows what state their business sector is in. It's a big mess, and no one has been unable to unravel it. Staying away from that mess, unless you know how to play the game, is a good idea.
It's not fine. It is in our interests. This is about realpolitik, not ethics.
That's probably it. However i'm not from germany and don't speak german so please don't take my word for it.
It's well known that inequality is one of the primary causes of property crime. That doesn't mean that most poor people commit property crimes.
"Because not many people use it" was the excuse Google gave for killing RSS.
Don't forget the fact that Israel blocks imports and exports, meaning the country has extreme difficulties getting e.g. construction materials, nevermind getting an industry going. Unemployment is everywhere, misery, disaffected youth (as is understandable)... is it any surprise resentment and hatred proliferate?
It's 2021. Maybe if you had a calendar in your office you'd know?

Do people not ever need to sit down to manage any of their finances, personal life, or organisations they volunteer in in 2021? Do you do everything from your phone on your sofa? Where do you keep physical books and things? Do you never need to focus and write?
Not just poor people. Kids are insured by the ZVW premie which the employers pay for everyone. They are subscribed on one of the parents insurance but for the basic insurance this is free. Additional insurance can cost money for kids.

> Many jobs in the modern economy are flexible.

But we're talking about a national level. To go back to the current top voted comment in this thread - we need to put this into perspective. I think a more accurate statement would read "More high end tech jobs are becoming flexible."

I'm in the same boat you are - I have the luxury of working from home and the mentality is basically as long as i'm meeting a certain number of billable hours per week, nobody really cares about the mundane details of when the work is getting done.

However, one thing I have noticed in the tech industry is that there are a lot of unwritten expectations on both employees and employers. A very common one is what you cited - "Get the job done if it takes 40 or 60 hours". And thats reasonable in my opinion, given competition in the US and the need to deliver projects on time.

But there are Employer commitments made as part of that, too, which are rarely fulfilled. Every company i've worked for in the past 10 years has had some type of policy around bonuses. And every year, measures outside of my control dictate the terms of those. Whether its the economy, stock price, or sales performance (I have nothing to do with sales) there's a different excuse every year, and the payout is laughable compared to the level of bonuses senior management get.

So it seems like we've got a situation where people "Go the extra mile", "Play on the A Team", or otherwise make personal sacrifices to help an employer, whereas employers regularly remit on the obligations they've set to their employees.
Yeah it's easy to say "I could've done this better" without thinking about it too much.

I'm pretty much that the things guys like this are programming now (assuming they are going mainstream which I HIGHLY doubt) will be seen as cryptic and really naive when a programmer from 2036 looks into them.
