The unbearable asymmetry of bullshit
Kind of funny thinking about optimal counterfeiting targets.

Japan has a 500 yen coin (about $4.50 today) with many strong anti-counterfeit properties, so much so that the BOJ has been contracted by other Asian countries to make its coins as well.

But 10000 yen notes (roughly $95) are super used in Japan too, so would that become the next target in a non-USD/EUR counterfeit land? Maybe external demand for Yen could trigger yet some more deflation.
Apple is a major Vulkan supporter and is on the "Board of Promoters". They went for Metal because they needed and wanted better performance long before Vulkan was going to be released.

My guess is we'll see Vulkan in the next major OSX/iOS release.

Summers can say that this is all about criminals and tax evaders, but everyone should remember that if the government and fed want to impose negative interest rates on individual's savings then they have to eliminate cash or use some other unsavory techniques. This is a first step in that direction.

People in ivory towers apparently do not understand crime very well.

Once the physical density of gold is greater than the physical density of currency, criminals who want to move lots of money at once will simply use gold bars. IIRC, at $3000/oz gold is more dense than $100 bills; if $50 is the maximum denomination this would be closer to $1500; with $20 bills it is already more dense.

The motivation behind this flavor of screed is not crime prevention anyhow... it is to reduce the availability of physical cash so that central banks can freely implement negative interest rate policy without risk of people eschewing banks "paying" them negative interest by moving their savings and investments into cash.
I've had a Nest for a few years now and it's been pretty good for my uses so far. I can manually set a schedule but I also have the option of just adjusting it as I see fit and letting the Nest "learn" my schedule if I choose.

Additionally, it's pretty good at handling things when I'm not around to manually tweak things or something changes. If I'm off one day during the week it detects that I'm at home and doesn't fall back to the "away" schedule/settings and on the flip side, if I'm away at work or somewhere else, when I start my drive home, it can start heating or cooling early so the temp is where I want it when I arrive.

It's definitely a bit "gee whiz" but so far I've had no glaring issues with it but I've had several positive ones. My main feature request is the one you mentioned with the remote sensors. I'd love to see them come up with little night-light-sized "Nest Eggs" that you can plug into outlets in different rooms, maybe act as "smart" outlets for whatever you plug into the Nest Egg (my imaginary term, not a real product) in order to manage non-smart lighting or other minor appliances, and help build a more accurate heating/cooling model of the house.

If I was working at Nest that would definitely be the new product I'd be pushing for.
Craig Mod's reviews convinced me to get the GF1 many years ago, and I am still very happy with that camera. Though it has interchangeable lenses I often use it with a prime 20mm (film equivalent of 40mm) which, I discovered, are simply a joy to use: the lack of the "feature" of a zoom can free your mind in the moment of exploration.

Do they want for terrorism to get cheaper? Prices are mostly dictated by affluence of the consumer. Terrorists don't require million dollars for given service, they just won't ask for less if that's how much the customer can comfortably provide.

There is no reason why any given app developer would want to talk to Vulkan directly. It's basically only suitable for a subset of engine developers and low level API programmers.

I also heard some people who were under NDA might have some disappointing things to report about the Vulkan decision process now that it's out. But the question is whether it matters at all whether it's a good API or not, given my impression that it's apparently not intended for interfacing to humans but to higher layer APIs.

Cash has become this dirty thing everyone hates in the last decade. Any purchase over a hundred bucks or so a store clerk or normal person seems to have this awkwardness about them in accepting it. It's not uncommon to see people pay for a candy bar with a credit card.

I think there was at some point a feeling that it was safer, but with the sheer number of card theft rings via POS systems, shady small merchants, etc., I've taken to trying to always have about 100 USD on me at all times.

Also, the article's assertion that cash = terrorism did not surprise me at all. Why is it anything done outside of the all seeing eye must automatically be associated with terrorism?

This is really cool, thanks for sharing it! I've been looking for tools that do things like this, however most things I've found end up being thrown together crap whose only goal is to serve as click-bait.

My suggestion is to spend some time thinking about the pitch - because right now it seems really complicated for how simple it is to use the tool. For instance, to me as a user, it isn't immediately clear to me what this tool is - are we pairing ingredients for a single recipe? Is it meal planning - multiple dishes that go together?

Allow me to brainstorm some ideas. Take them or leave them as you may!

make "Pick an ingredient to Start" smaller and somewhere where it's viewed more as an instruction than a title (maybe right above the table in bold & medium gray (#696969 or so)

Make the title explicitly state the problem / solution (rather than instructions)... something like "Find the Best Recipe by Ingredient" - I'm sure you can wordsmith it better.

Try to express it simply and clearly enough that you feel comfortable deleting the two paragraphs at the top starting with "Go ahead and search [...]"

As it happens, I find the hacker news post more informative than the site itself about what this tool does. I would replace "food" with "ingredient" in the title of this post, though, since "food" is too vague and gets back to the whole "is this for meal planning?" question.

The attack on cash is simply the end-game in the state-bank collaboration to control society. Eliminate cash and you can more effectively steal depositors' money through negative interest rates.

I set mine up myself (easy setup was a perk I noticed when buying it a few years ago) and in the application, there are several details you want to fill out on initial setup. A big one is the type of heating/cooling you have in your house because it adjusts behavior in response. Over time it "learns" the quirks of your setup such as how responsive it is and adjusts to compensate. At least that's how it's supposed to work and how mine works. The "90 minutes" or "2 hours" or whatever it shows is supposed to be based on its estimate based on how it's modeled your house's hvac setup.

And from a Morgan Stanley presentation, in which its head of EMEA equity research Huw van Steenis, points out [9]:

"What I learned at Davos: We should move quickly to a cashless economy so that we could introduce negative rates well below 1% - policy maker"

..adding: "One of the most surprising comments this year came from a closed session on fintech where I sat next to someone in policy circles who argued that we should move quickly to a cashless economy so that we could introduce negative rates well below 1% – as they were concerned that Larry Summers' secular stagnation was indeed playing out and we would be stuck with negative rates for a decade in Europe. They felt below (1.5)% depositors would start to hoard notes, leading to yet further complexities for monetary policy."

Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. ... Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Communication in case of disasters is not the fundamental purpose of ham radio, it's one purpose. The others are research, education and exchange between peoples and just as important.

Contests don't serve any of these well. Stations are being used outside of contests too, and DX QSOs are being done outside of contests too (besides, DX capability isn't that important in case of disaster. also the DX bands 'need' unwieldy antennas and the skywave unreliability and the ground/skywave gap doesn't help. the local 2m/70cm repeater would be much more useful -- portable 2m/70cm HTs are cheap+common.).

There are hams that do care about disaster communication and prepare for it. These are good to have. It involves more than contesting though (e.g. actually transmitting information instead of skipping even trivial things like proper signal reports just to be faster, advance coordination with civil services, independence of power grid...).

The US, UK response to terrorism is so disproportional, odious and sinister one wonders whether this is infant a 'response' or something far more evil cooking below the surface.

This kind of technology necessitates mass surveillance, and offers you little more beyond the faint possibility that crime can be predicted. This is bogus science.

If you let your mind entertain the idea you can predict crime, then you are already at the thresh hold of a stifling surveillance state. And why are we even assassinating people. What happens to due process? One by one all these fundamental principles are set aside, massive and dubious mass surveillance infrastructures are being built, doublespeak is comically rampant.

One can begin to understand Snowden's urgent need to act, but what about the moral compass of all the people in the NSA and who support the US and UK security apparatus? People need to act. Surely they cannot suddenly subscribe to values we have aggressively demonized for more than 100 years.

Who would have thought that the US and UK are now the rogue states and other countries who are far more secure and sure about their politics need to begin to isolate themselves from these dangerous totalitarian instincts.
