In practical terms a 51% attack is not good, but actually has a fairly straight-forward solution to solve. Change the PoW. A 51% attack can't steal your coins, only restrict your spending them for the length of time they are conducting the attack. So the issue isn't that you have 51% attack possibility, but that people think you do, and furthermore think you're going to abuse it. If a government attacked it, they'd simply hard-fork away from the mining algorithm, and millions of dollars of hardware investment gets flushed down the toilet.

Yeast doesn't work like that. Different yeasts do indeed produce different flavours, but to produce them you add them for the fermentation stage, not afterwards as flavouring components.

> they take already perfectly good wine, and "reyeast" it to fake how and where it was made.

Is there really any evidence to suggest that is going on? It doesn't make a ton of sense as an (admittedly amateur) wine and beermaker. I mean, I suppose adding more yeast is possible, but it seems like it would work... very poorly, especially into finished wine. You'd have to use a much more alcohol-tolerant strain than the original fermentation, but not if the original wine contained sulfites (which stop fermentation -- that's the major reason why they're added)... It doesn't seem to make a ton of sense.

Rather, I think what is perhaps going on is a misunderstanding, or even a sort of mendaciously inaccurate description, of how modern winemaking works, where you -- just like beermaking has for centuries -- put in (aka: "pitch") yeast, selected to be consistent with the type and style of wine you want to make. The alternative would be to make the winemaker depend only on the randomly-occurring yeast in an area. (Which I suppose is a sort of 'terroir', but it's not the sort I think most people would appreciate.)
That's the way it should be. Around half the world isn't online so these companies can still, at the very least, double in value over the long term. The 'easy' money is gone, sure, but it's probably good that we don't have hundreds of high valued-loss making companies on the public markets.

These are the kinds of tools who's design is such that I can't tell if they're evil or brilliant. On one hand, I know it's a manipulation of "could have, should have" -- the fear of missing out or having missed out -- and much like a visual illusion you know it's a completely fake form of regret. At the same time, no matter how much you stare at it, even knowing it's completely fake, you can't make it go away.
> Google is untrustworthy because you never know when they discontinue any service. They have no concept of customer service. They might well be running by robots.

With Dropbox is the same.
Some time ago a weird bug occured on my Dropbox account and I reported it. Being paying customer (3 accounts) I expected my issue to be handled professionally, as with most of other services that I use.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed. My issue was handled by someone ho had no clue what is the problem and how their service works and looks. During 20+ emails exchange I got mostly advices of reinstalling the applications, etc. They ignored my requests to pass the ticket to someone more knowledgeable. I had to complain on their Facebook page to get the task read by someone else and (finally) get passed to "analysis". But then, weeks passed without word from them. When I finally asked about the progress, I got answer meaning "your issue is not important enough for us, so nobody is working on it right now and don't expect it will change in the near future". Then some time more passed and they finally fixed the bug (it was something on their side, fix was listed in the mobile app changelog).
I asked for an account credit for a time when the app wasn't working properly, which influenced my day-to-day work (which is normal with other services), but were repeatedly told to "fk off" in more or less polite way and then ignored completely.

So it seems that Dropbox is introducing the "best" Google customer service policies.

I find some of your comments hard to believe. Not going to write a novel, just a single point about pricing - In most expensive part of Switzerland - 'Swiss riviera' and Unesco world heritage site - Lavaux, you can buy wine directly from owners of the wineries you walk through (it is one of most beautiful places I have ever seen, can't recommend enough). Literally from their backyard starting 10 metres from the house. Every house sells their own variety. You can see original wooden wine presses that are used just next to houses, with heaps of empty bottles stashed in early autumn.

This wine starts on maybe 7- euros for non-blended single type. So your statement from much, much less expensive countries having a 'natural' wine for > 30 euros just doesn't make sense. (I am not a wine expert though, I can be happy with well-chosen 5 euro french wine)
This sentence is very confusing:

I assume you mean "since before they have been moved...", but by the time the reader gets to that point you've already told them to move r1 and r2 and x1 and x2 obviously aren't at the same coordinates.

I soon wonder if facts will be tools only of the elite (again?). Facts and science allow you to understand the world and produce things of lasting value, which everyone buys/uses. But instead, we teach kids nonsense, mostly because their parents don't remember things from school, or didn't go to school themselves. Most people don't know enough science to explain how the seasons work, let alone climate change, but everyone has an opinion that must be treated respectfully.

Yet we keep talking about how people need marketable STEM skills to stay relevant in today and tomorrow's economy.

The cognitive dissonance is blinding.

Interesting, after doing some searching all listings I've looked at they either lack a logo or have a TI-ish logo but they don't mention it being a TI brand or genuine TI part in any way in the description - which is always a dead giveaway as if they do so they can be subject to punishment. Alibaba is actually pretty harsh on people selling known counterfeit goods and will ban sellers if they catch onto it - so I assume they don't mention it because their buyers don't care much and they don't want to get in shit for it.

I'm thinking of getting a degree while working too. Do you think it's worth it? Perhaps if only to make life easier...

I dropped out of uni in my last year due to family/personal issues but I've been working in tech for over 12 years now. I've never needed to show a degree here in the UK but back home (Spain) it used to be an issue. Recently the opportunity to relocate to the USA came up with my employer but I sort of rejected the offer since I assumed that getting a visa might be a bit of a hassle without a degree.

For a long time, the SO and Meta.SO scores we completely separate. This meant that even if you were a top contributor on SO, you might have very low meta-reputation. It was pretty screwed up. I have a fairly high SO rep (top < 0.2%), but in those days my meta-rep wasn't even high enough to unlock many basic features. I remember reporting bugs and getting treated like a noob.

I'd even complained about the reps being separate, pointing out how this gave the power on meta to people who didn't even necessarily contribute on the main site. A bunch of high meta-rep users descended, simultaneously shooting down the idea of merging the reps while admitting that the main reason they like the status quo was because they didn't want to lose their precious karma. I was petty surprised when SO eventually fixed this, but it's kind of too little, too late. I don't bother with meta anymore despite now having a high rep on it. Too many bad memories.
Wine coolers are just an alternate path to what Europeans call "alcopop", but via the US's oddball tax structure.

It's just cheap but high-ABV wine, cut down with water and flavoring (to something like 5% ABV).

(The other path to roughly the same end product is by taking cheap beer and running it through a charcoal filter, then flavoring the result. Neither process would make sense if you could just sell an ethanol+water mixture without getting a tax break for not having distilled anything to get there.)

(Peer-reviewed) Science is pretty much considered fact.
The only crowds this will benefit are as said above climate-change deniers (because they fear for their profits from fossil fuels), abstinence-only sex ed supporters(because they're blinded by their religious superstitions), anti-vaxxers (who consider one falsified and later retracted "study" as "evidence" that vaccines somehow cause autism).
This benefits them because it gives them a stage on which to present their bullshit and manipulate people a lot easier. This is pretty similar to how the Somali community in Minnesota was influenced to be anti-vaxxers and now look at the result [0]...

I found reading The Gifts of Imperfection (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4KQI11), by Brene Brown, really helped reframe "imposter syndrome" for me.

“Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be your best. Perfectionism is the belief that if we live perfect, look perfect, and act perfect, we can minimize or avoid the pain of blame, judgement, and shame. It’s a shield. It’s a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact, it’s the thing that’s really preventing us from flight.”

You feel less like an imposter when you realise that nobody is perfect. You can embrace your imperfections and be satisfied with who you are today.

As a side note, this "Ask HN" question is one of the many reason I enjoy reading HN. It's a vulnerable question that has provoked several honest and thoughtful answers. It's not a "Top 10 way to overcome imposter syndrome" blog post...there's no link baiting or profit to be made. I suspect that asking the question will go along way to making the OP feel a lot better...it's tough to feel like an imposter when the response from the community is so positive.

It took me a long time to switch gears. Going from The Wire to Treme is kind of like switching from Windows to Linux -- the hardest part is unlearning what you already know. In my case, I kept expecting Treme to be more Wire-esque. It isn't, at all. It's its own show, with its own characters, in its own city.

What it has in common with The Wire is that its characters are richly crafted, and they're whole characters. Nobody in any David Simon show is a throwaway character, and that might not ever have been more true than in Treme. Also, the acting is exceptional, in every scene, and in every case. Another commonality is that of the failures of people, and of the institutions that ostensibly aim to protect them. Like The Wire, Treme is filled with a panoply of people all attempting their best in every task, but as in life, those people sometimes fail, and often those failures come at the expense of somebody else. Just as in The Wire, we often get to see the impact of those failures up close and personal, and we get to feel the hurt it causes, while sympathizing with those who made whatever mistake caused the failure, and far too often to be comfortable, we get to pick which one of those people we prefer.

There are big differences, obviously. The Wire is, at its core, a cops and robbers drama, with some other stuff going on. Treme focuses more on the people, and less on the game they're playing. Music plays a much bigger role in Treme than in The Wire, but that's a commonality too, as David Simon works tend to feature the city as a character, and Treme's set in New Orleans, and that music is part of New Orleans' character.

The narrative in Treme meanders around A LOT. It all basically wraps itself up by the end, but while The Wire managed to tell a basically cohesive story each season, Treme's big plot is spread out, with blurrier lines. It gives you the feeling of closure with each season finale, but the collection of tales being told don't, and really, keep going well after the show's end.

At the end of the day though, the main difference is that narrative draw. If you need one, maybe Treme isn't for you. Sure, it has political corruption, and criminal investigations, and the occasional legal proceeding, but at its core Treme is really just a window into the lives of a couple dozen folks making their way in post-Katrina New Orleans. We get to see how the storm affected them, and how the city affected them, and sometimes, how they've affected the city -- whether by making their mark on it, or succumbing to its ways, or in some cases, getting out while the getting is good. It isn't about anything that I could wrap up into a few sentences, but it's a deep cultural exploration into a culturally rich and beautiful people, and it's a showcase for some of the best damn music around, and it's an expose into the triumphs and troubles of people just trying to make it work in a city at a time when nothing's working as it should. It's also the inverse of that, in true David Simon form, so -- yeah, nobody can fault you for having a hard time making an adjustment, but it's worth adjusting if you can manage it.

The whole point of Christianity is faith. At least that's a very widespread interpretation with an educated basis.

>> The main reason is, that law is now made in Brussels and people have no idea what's going on there.

False but typical argument. Some laws are voted in Brussels, all such laws have to be approved by the Europen Parliament whose members are directly elected (you elected a MEP, remember?), and many such laws are just harmonization of local laws that already existed in most member states.

The moment where we may have 'no idea' is when a law is drafted and negociated behind closed doors by the Commission, i.e the EU governments' representatives (your government and my government) who then conveniently blames Brussels for said 'closed doors', when it suits them.

There are reforms to be made in the EU for sure, but saying it is all-encompassing and secret is a mischaracterisation. The info is out there, it's just not spoon-fed to you by the media, mostly because it's boring. For example, what is being voted on can be accessed here:

What other operation? If we don't know what it is, how do you know it needs just one?
In one of our board designs, we were using a well-known manufacturer's 25Mhz oscillator, to provide a clock to a gigabit Ethernet PHY. When we wanted to assemble the boards, we could not find this oscillator in any official distributor, so we bought them from a vendor in China, who had some in stock.

When we assembled the boards, none of the boards functioned properly. There was no Ethernet connectivity, the PHY wasn't working

We contacted the "well known manufacturer" and provided photos of the part and they confirmed that the oscillator was not theirs. It was a counterfeit part.

The "counterfeit" oscillator actually did provide a clean 25Mhz clock, but the PHY did not work.

It amazes me there are companies out there that produce counterfeit silicon. I wonder what's their profit margin?
