And this can go on until GDP is forced to shrink because people and businesses are all hoarding crypto tokens instead of participating in the real economy. This happened almost a hundred years ago when the world got too excited about gold. It' scary to think it could happen again with cryptocoins.
Goodbye open platform, fast iteration, fun, and free/hacker plans! Welcome to a slow death by enterprise.
They warranted those, though, right? Meanwhile, I'm still driving our first-gen Leaf here in the mild weather of the Pacific Northwest (granted, ten years later that battery isn't at its best anymore). EMMC doesn't care about what the weather is like in your neighborhood.
When things like masks are shipped from china via container, the shipping cost per unit ends up being exceedingly small. Probably less than a penny per mask.

I most commonly use random() for generating names (e.g. docker's container names) and generating test inputs. I don't care about cryptographic safety in either case.
I used to work in the Hollywood animation industry. I had friends who worked in the LA video game industry around then. Crunch was, quite simply, an expected part of life in both industries.

Much of Hollywood animation is unionized. (animationguild.org, IATSE Local 839). Crunches mean paid overtime. From the Animation Guild standard contract: "All time worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day or forty (40) hours per week shall be paid at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the hourly rate provided herein for such employee’s classification. Time worked on the employee’s sixth (6th) workday of the workweek shall be paid at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the hourly rate provided herein for such employee’s classification. Time worked on the employee’s seventh (7th) workday of the workweek shall be paid at two (2) times the hourly rate provided herein for such employee’s classification. All time worked in excess of fourteen (14) consecutive hours (including meal periods) from the time of reporting to work shall be Golden Hours and shall be paid at two (2) times the applicable hourly rate provided herein for such employee’s classification."

This discourages unnecessary "crunches".

I'll would request the same for p-adic numbers, while they're at it!
fair enough, but if you're going to compare ublock to ABP, as a user my expectations from it are going to be like those from ABP. By default it should work like an ad-blocker, with an option to block other stuff. For users like myself, who don't really care about tracking, just about ads cluttering up a page or delatying a video, blocking out stuff other than ads just 'breaks' the site.
When your trying to grow you either make the glass bigger or add more water. By providing more internet to people who don't already today, you're simply making the glass bigger, which means more ads can be served up.
After my interview with Netflix, I felt smarter. Didn't end up working there, but met new people & we shared strategies for achieving higher performance.

It's absolutely absurd. I'd almost be more OK with it if it was a monetization scheme _for Signal_, this seems blatantly corrupt as I understand it.

>My worry is that group 1) try and ruin it for the rest of us.

Maybe you should be worried Moxie is ruining it for the rest of us? After spending the better part of the last decade telling us how all you care about is giving end-users easy to consume privacy - adding a payment option that will make you and your buddy rich isn't a great look. Hard to take the rest of what you say seriously when you sell out in this fashion.
They print additional usdt, that are not backed by dollars, and buy bitcoin with them.
>Bitcoin's narrative has had to morph from "digital currency" to "digital gold".

This narrative was an intentional morphing by various actors within the space (Blockstream) who believed raising the blocksize to allow higher throughput would cause 'centralisation'. Instead they want people to use layer 2 solutions such as blockstreams own federated product Liquid.
Let that had been a minority CEO . Once the firm got wind of him being apart of such behavior without hesitation he would have been fired without benefits. Bank On It!!!
What a ridiculous Twitter thread showing absolutely no causality between Tether and Bitcoin. You might as well show that SpaceX rocket launches coincide with a rise in Bitcoin prices.

There was a successful SpaceX launch yesterday, and Bitcoin went over $40,000 for the first time. In 2020, SpaceX had its best year ever for successful launches and returns of the first stage, perfectly coinciding with Bitcoin's meteoric rise in value. So Bitcoin must be tied to successful SpaceX launches.
> China is way different

Not different at all on how they treat human lives. Different economically, but that's about it.
Especially nicer areas in Boston (and Cambridge) proper have expensive housing. Not Bay Area expensive, but expensive.

That said, a lot of tech and related industries aren't in the city proper. Indeed, it's relatively recent that tech companies started moving back into the city proper after almost completely vacating it. And suburbs range from fairly expensive to, if not cheap, moderate. (I live about an hour west and my house on multiple acres is probably worth in the $400-500K range.

On the topic of cars, I would say that much of Boston and Cambridge is fairly navigable without a car. But it's not a car-free culture like NY largely is. People I know who live in the city but wither commute to jobs outside, visit friends in the suburbs, do outdoor activities in NH and elsewhere all own cars. You can manage without one. I did as a student. But it's pretty limiting, even with Uber, ZipCar, and so forth, if you want to leave the city on a regular basis.
Thank you, Jay! I appreciate the addition of the colab notebooks with code examples. I can't wait to play around with this and investigate how language models _speak_.
Apologizing to internet trolls is a zero sum game.

If you enjoy working on it, and others enjoy using your work, keep doing it and just ignore the idiots on the internet, they'll eventually get bored and go find someone more interesting to harass.

It's a great idea. I've submitted two of my books:

- Data Analysis with Rust Notebooks (https://datacrayon.com/shop/product/data-analysis-with-rust-...)

- Practical Evolutionary Algorithms (https://datacrayon.com/shop/product/practical-evolutionary-a...)

I hope they fit in!
Well, there was that study (Oxford IIRC) that found that Republicans get banned on Twitter 21:1 compared to Dems, Reddit is well known for purging right-leaning subs while allowing gov influence, VISA/mastercard forces patreon/gofundme to ban right-leaning users, Chase-bank shuts down the accounts of Proud Boys members, Cloudflare pulled all routing to a far-right website, recently-ish Dem lawmakers sent an open letter to Google that it would be in their best interest to de-rank/block right-leaning 'misinformation'/leaks (when anti-trust investigations were a hot topic). So while it's easy to say that "it's just individual groups/companies deciding to target the same groups at the same time", it's hard to argue that there's no organization between them.

What was the Game of Thrones quote; "when you tear out a man's tongue you're not proving him a liar; only that you are afraid of what he might say"?
The Mayor didn't foresee that it would be this bad, and didn't want an escalation. She declined help from the National Guard.

So the cops were stretched thin, and some "fought" bravely to defend the Capitol, while others were sympathetic to the rioters and let them in, as can be seen clearly in multiple videos.
Didn't they confront the police who were the architects of their oppression?

Also worth noting that there was no property damage or injuries in more than 97 to 98% of protests[1]

You've posted nothing but political and ideological battle comments to HN for a year. We ban accounts that do that, because (a) it's not what HN is for, and (b) it destroys what HN is for.
See https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... for more explanation about how and why we ban this sort of account.

Obviously plenty of other people are currently posting abusively in these huge political flamewar threads—but most of them are not using HN primarily for that purpose. We ban the ones that are.

I've banned this account. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.

For record, I am no neo-nazi extremist. I am coloured btw.

Did not downvote you. But your reply just fascinates me. How do you even compare "burning down the system" as a metaphor for voting ? Do you even truly recognise your own bias here where Trumps tweets are taken as a "incitement to violence" whereas any statement made by a BLM leader is played down as peaceful ?

What is being made up here precisely ? Here is another BLM protester

How much more evidence will you need ?
Good point. I'm truly curious how far up the chain that decision went. Knowing how software gets written, I'd be willing to bet there were quite a few informal discussions about the various trade offs of the possible approaches taken to meet the design requirements.
There's a very simple line to draw. You police actions, not speech. Someone talks about building bombs? Fine. Talk never blew anything up. Someone builds bombs? Time to arrest them. It's not very complicated.

People are responsible for their own actions. "But he incited me to violence!" is not an excuse for violence. Maybe in the case of a superior giving a subordinate a direct order (in which case both are responsible), but "the man on Twitter told me to do it" should hold about as much sway as Son of Sam's "the neighbor's dog told me to do it".
You can use SMS or email.

> It’s tough because Google and others are huge, they buy out competitors, it’s not anything like the restaurant market.

Not just that, they go to great effort to lock you into their ecosystem so that the difficulty of changing becomes a big part of the calculation.

If I had to make a comparison, instead of a restaurant, I'd suggest a company town. When you buy a Company X phone, you're moving to Xville, where everything is sold with predatory prices and low variety by the company store.

You've never had games that would only start and run without crashing from a clean boot?

That's part of where the whole "Have you tried turning it off and back on again?" piece of wisdom comes in. You never know what might have flipped out from under agter a hibernate. When you turn it Off off. You know.

Unless...you dual boot linux. I have an Envy 47 something whose wireless still can't get it right. So I just ran an ethernet cable to it. Traced it down to being because Ubuntu wouldn't clean out the hardware registers between hot reboots. It would be fine after a cold shutdown, but once the card got stuck in a bad state, not even a switch to windows could save you. I'd have to pull the plug to get all the registers clear, and start anew.

And that was how I learned it's never the hardware until it is.
It's debatable whether people with a smartphone will ever violently rebel, like they did in the past. The middle class has too much to lose and they're slave to their mortgage and their daily job.

What's more likely to happen is that they'll get comparatively poorer over time, even if their life gets better because of capitalism driven technology development.
The question is how little will people own in the future, especially with political consensus shifting towards redistributive practices.

The Great Reset's "You'll own nothing and be happy" is basically inching closer and closer to financial slavery.

I agree with you that the article's comparisons with history are not the most apt.

Modern empires work in different manners though: the USA has power and can sustain debt at the level it's doing it, just because of the strength of the dollar.
Once the yuan will take the dollar's spot, the unraveling could happen relatively quickly for the states.
Not TCP. UDP - there are no connection in UDP, so the routers / firewalls don't really differentiate between a new connection and packets that happen to have the correct ip+port.

Some are trickier than others, as there are 2 IPs and 2 ports in a packet (at any point), and it can be hard to match all of them for the stricter devices, esp. on NATs that do source port randomization.
For MVP you could just have a bot account that retweets!
I think rebase alreaby works by generating patches, but for some reason the repeated conflicts happen...
Regardless of whether this particular webpage is a good example of web design and readability, I think the point is well made: is it true that low contrast text is hard to read? I think it is.

Scroll hijacking is a separate issue that must be addressed separately.
What puzzles me is how resistant many developers are to using or even considering a Git GUI. I prefer SmartGit, but GitKraken is nice too.

People tell me, "I'm so much more productive on the command line" and then it turns out all they know is pull/commit/push and using a local branch. Anything outside that brings terror: "I never use rebase. What if something goes wrong in the rebase? Now I've lost all my work and I have to pull a fresh copy of the repo from scratch."

Yes, I have heard exactly that.

One thing I love about SmartGit is how it unifies features that the Git command line presents as separate and unrelated concepts. The reflog? Click the Recyclable Commits checkbox and now all of your reflog commits show up as ordinary commits just like any other.

Stashes? Same thing. Turn on the checkbox to make a stash or all stashes visible and now they show up as ordinary commits, which is all they are under the hood.

Want a diff between two commits, whether they be normal commits or stash or reflog commits? Click one commit, ctrl+click the other, and you instantly see the differences between the two. No need to check out a reflog commit temporarily just to have a look at it.

Yet I have only had a 5-10% success rate in getting anyone to take a look at any Git GUI, much less using one. I would be really interested in understanding why so many developers are reluctant to doing anything other than the Git command line.
I read some description ob what that is and it looks like checking out different commits (via bisection) until you figure out where in the history some change happened. Is there some other benefit I am missing?
Regardless of camera crews, I have a perpetual skepticism of entire disciplines, partly because of my own ignorance, I'm sure. But also partly because I have a BS detector and it goes off a lot.

Largely about all these inferences made about history using so few data points and a brilliant imagination. Really? You could tell all these things about this specific household because of a pot you found?

I'm not sure I have a beef with the scientists themselves. There is value in guesstimating what dinosaurs looked like. But at some point these guesstimates get sold as scientific discovery.
It's so disappointing because staying in touch with former work colleagues would be a really valuable service. Somehow it seems impossible to offer just that.
It's highly unlikely. It is required by CCP law to record user activities up to 90 (or 30? vague memories) days.
Amusingly I sent this to my nephew who lives close to the site in Wales, he responded 'I thought that was common knowledge, it is what people around here have always claimed'

The article is down, but on-topic, I know bunch of large airlines(EasyJet for example) that let you present boarding pass on your smartphone so you do not have to print it.
You don't already have a chair, desk, computer, and internet access at home? Air conditioning may cost more, but you'd no longer be paying high gas prices to drive to and from work (which I'm assuming your company doesn't pay for now?).
This happened almost 4 years ago though. The TSA has gotten a lot more jaded and hated since then. I'd be curious how something like this would go down today.
I think a database inconsistency is unlikely, though possible, I imagine they would be very on top of that. It is more likely a caching or replication issue (maybe to do with their new data center -- entirely speculation).
haha yeah i can see how it could come off like that.. sorry to disappoint :)
Oh, for sure. I started reading this and kept waiting for the part where he gets tackled by TSA or something. Terr'ist boarding pass, can be used as a weapon, or something.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being reserved only for individuals who are wiretapping Google's offices, what is your degree of certainty that this phone call was actually from a Google employee?
This is probably closer to what you are looking for around object oriented programming. Javascript uses this.

Prototype-based Object Oriented programming:

It's verbose, but it's not a mess. It's quite coherent actually. For smaller encounters, there are a number of procedural reflection functions available. For this case, you could do:

get_class_methods('A');
That's how I felt as well. I even got one from a Cloud Kitchens that "cc'd" Travis Kalanick. Give me a break

In some places the cost to do a govt deal can be many multiplates easily (and totally justified) normal cost.

The hammer is not actually $1,200. The paperwork can easily be.

Do you have McBride Principles stuff done and documented? Have you trained your staff on McBride principles if they might purchase supplies, documented it and maintained proper documentation (this is about something in Northern Ireland which has very little to do with buying snacks for a kids program). Repeat x100. Where I am the ethnicity / race / national origin stuff is huge, and the different agencies don't have a common set of labels. So you are stuck asking everyone very personal questions even they don't understand. I mean, for ethnicity you are one thing, for race there is another set of labels, so you have to ask them the same race question 4 times under each random set of labels that are being used, for national origin another set etc.

The actual quality of your hammer? Never tested. The details on the paperwork - lots of folks looking and nitpicking. Some of this just starts as a resolution at some level, that gets added on and added on over and over. So some politician will say McBride principles are great. 2 years later a contract analyst or internal auditor asks, how are we documenting / demonstrating compliance with this requirement. They then push their vendors to train staff involved in purchasing on the principles. Then they want documentation of that training. Each one in isolation is a small waste, but at scale it's a monumental waste.

What's even funnier, stuff stays forever. There are requirements in contracts to hand out old IRS forms (W-5) for Advance EITC - that program is long gone, but you still have to hand out the forms - and tell staff that if they fill them out and submit them nothing will happen. Sure builds staff faith in govt efficiency.

You can't even argue this stuff, I used to try and it's a brick wall.

I can't stand it, but if you can push paper and have some political pull it's a gravy train, because cost / quality is so low on the basis of selection list. This tends to attract the wrong type of company (ie, scammers get a lot further than they should, and companies delivering good product don't).
> You have a minor typo on the page - 'enthrawled' should be 'enthralled'

Sure that it's not "entrawled in data", like someone entangled in a swift web of information? ;)
Yes I know! Gaza is so much more than that. There are a lot of smart motivated people. Did you know that one of the people who worked on the Mars Helicopter - NASA that just landed on Mars is from Gaza? https://www.linkedin.com/in/elbasyouni/

I want you to know that I’m not the only one. I worked hard but so did lots of other people and some of them are even smarter than me. 4 people from Manara in Palestine got into Google this year and I think there will be more (I was in Manara’s 4th cohort and the 5th cohort is just applying to jobs now. I think at least 6 people are interviewing at Google from both West Bank and Gaza).

I’ll keep you updated and if you want I can tell them to share their stories here too :)
Thank you for the recommendations, I think no matter how much I tried inner healing it just never works. It worked for a while but then it erupted again, as soon as, say my parents do something that I think is wrong, my anger erupted. I definitely have traumas. I don't have kids yet, but I think there's a chance I will continue this chain of abuse, though I will do my best not to.

Yeah, I talk to my wife, that's all. She's too nice, her family comes from a good background, I don't want to burden her by telling my family's story.
