I don't agree with, for example, shouting down Jordan Peterson over his original argument. I also don't agree that we need to give any platform or voice to the multitude of people intent on spreading hateful, violent, ideas.

IANAL but Canada's supreme court should have jurisdiction only over Canada. It wanted to force Google to remove search results globally and not just from Canadian website. Which authority grants them such powers? I think Google just exposed their bluff by challenging that order in another sovereign jurisdiction.

Some more info:

It took me and my co-founder ~3 months of hard full-time work to build this first version.

We pull data straight from the exchanges (>30 at this time) and one of the most time consuming tasks is taking care of outlier prices, overpriced sales of small coin amounts, erroneous trades and the general instability of the 30+ APIs we consume.

We’re not 100% sure what our direction should be - suggestions welcome. We do intend to integrate with more exchanges, add more and more user features (ie a better portfolio that pulls data from exchanges, push notifications etc) and redo the whole UI.

I know we get so used to leaving our trail everywhere so folks don't care, but if you think about it, the Nest thermostat probably knows every time you've walked by it for the past few years, when you've interacted with the thermostat, settings / preferences, and a host of other data.

Left to the new owner, maybe "who cares!" but one should really try to get rid of data they no longer need / use wherever possible.

Is it though? Eventually the ec2 costs will outstrip your savings on the macbook. $1500 a year ish for a reserved m4.large w/ 2 vCPU and 8G ram which seems about comparable. That math doesn't work unless you're buying a new macbook every 2 years.

edit: This bit is interesting though:
If you’re running in AWS the auto-hibernate feature will stop your instance shortly after you stop using your IDE. This can be a huge cost savings over running a more permanent developer desktop.

So perhaps the cost is quite a bit lower.

It baffles me that no fact checking/ benchmarking exists for such a major news platform.

Oh the number of cryptocurrencies which have tried to stabilize their currency. There was BitsharesX which was abandoned quickly. Then there is USDT. The answer is there can never be a "trusted monopoly producers" in a decentralised world.

It uses a daemon that gets talked to over dbus (and i see systemd in the flowchart, but as they have adopted meson, requiring ninja and python3, i can't really tell if it is just a vestigial thing or deeply embedded). And from the documentation it seems that said daemon will be autostarted by dbus if any of the "frontends" gets fired up. This reeks of overcomplicated Gnome-sims.
> they are all almost certainly running a fractional reserve given recent price hikes

Agreed that a lot of exchanges are non-transparent, can't tell if they're stealing or losing customer funds.

But this is unrelated to "recent price hikes". A higher exchange rate doesn't cause fractional reserve.
I wrote one that decodes Wiegand[0] off of GPIO. I ended up not using it because epoll-ing the pins is easier to use from a userspace perspective and fast enough to capture the transmission. I loosely based the kernel module off of one that was written for another microcontroller[1].

The Clintons are famous for a strategy called "triangulation" where they move as far to the right as necessary to get enough votes to win an election. With a voting base, and voting system that skews as far right as America's that leads to them taking some right-wing positions.

I've always thought this was a clever strategy, but apparently enough people live in their own social bubbles that many progressive types don't realise how unprogressive a lot of older, rural voters are (and you could argue they've been misled by their news providers into positions that are contrary to their own values and desires) and can't understand why compromise is necessasary to actually win elections.

Some have argued that this is bad because you need to inspire people, like Obama did, but Obama is another triangulator, so I'm not sure how that makes sense.
> Yes, it's one thing for serial content like a podcast or talk show, it's another for more artistic endeavors where it would lesson the artistic credibility to have an ad ingrained into the video.

> It's also not a suitable format for those who create many small 1-5m videos.

I don't think having platform-handled dynamic ads (ie YouTube) differs from these dynamics in any meaningful way. The difference that matters is that with dumb ads the creator has complete control.

> Additionally, it prevents you from retroactively changing what ad gets sent with the video, which can lead to conflicts arising over severed business ties, and limit your overall ability to make residual profit from older videos.

This is a feature (of content-targeted advertising), not a bug. If a business model relies on tracking and targeting unknowing users who aren't aware that they can resist being tracked and targeted, maybe it was a crappy business model in the first place.

No. This is ridiculous. I'm so sick of people refusing to take responsibility for their actions on this.

People saw Trump. They saw the same things as everyone who hated him then and hates him now, and they decided that was what they wanted.
That approach works for behavior and UX, but is woefully inadequate for security, sadly. The space for shenanigans is exponentially greater.

Unlike stock options though, the income on crypto would need to be recognized immediately because the value is realized immediately (you get taxed on stock options when you exercise them)...Similarly though, if you were paid in crypto and then the crypto declined in value, you could recognize a loss on that once you sold the crypto.

so the part that's not covered here is when you hold crypto, it gains in value, but you don't sell it to USD. That was my only point with this crazy thread.. At what point do you get hit with capital gains? Is it when you buy a boat with bitcoin? They will charge you sales tax, and then figure out your capital gains based on the boat value vs your purchase price of btc?

Won't it make more sense to send the shaders to the developers? I have no idea how the driver does this patching but if the game is patched won't that be then easier when a new version of the game or a game with same engine is created? I remember that for a game you had to rename it's binary so the driver would be tricked to apply an optimization, I do not remember the details but the slow game was using same engine as first one.
The correct answer here RE "an American thing" is "whatever is written into the contract as 'conveying' with the house."

If you say "fixtures stay in the house" then they stay. If not, no obligation to leave them. Typically, however, these clauses deal primarily with appliances and other larger items (TVs, hot tubs, etc)

In my experience people don't think to bring the bulbs with them, written or otherwise.

Hey, Sia core dev here.

From the beginning, we've prided ourselves writing code instead of pushing PR pieces and designing flashy websites. So I'm glad that you (and others) picked up on those values. By keeping our heads down, we've built the only truly distributed and decentralized marketplace for storage, and we did it with a team and a budget far smaller than our competitors.

Thanks for your support -- posts like this motivate me more than almost anything else.
Libertarians support open borders as a means to free movement of labor. As you alluded to, they also do not believe in taxpayer funded social services, much less granting rights of citizenship to not-naturalized immigrants.

This combination of ideas is not at all what is being espoused in liberal universities. They are pushing for both open borders (or at least amnesty and much less restrictive immigration laws) and guaranteed social services for immigrants.

Libertarians certainly don't view nations as "completely artificial illegitimate social construct" and I seriously doubt most college professors are teaching from that ideology's point of view. Libertarians are often as demonized as Republicans at universities.
"Waymo won't bankrupt Uber. If Uber loses, they will appeal. "

So?
They'd almost certainly be forced to put up a very large bond to do that, assuming they can get it.

In some jurisdictions, this can be 100% of judgement + interest. IIRC, in the 9th circuit, it's at the discretion of district courts, but given the financial situation, if they did have a multi-billion judgement against them, and not a lot of runway, what makes you think a judge won't make them put up a full bond to appeal?

These cases actually often do bankrupt businesses, and the predatory lawsuit creditors take over (though usually that happens more in patent cases) :)
They can if they control a majority of mining resources. They simply start mining new blocks from an earlier block. This happens all the time when there is a race. The loser has to discard their block and start mining off the winner.

The only thing that is stopping this is the miners' incentives, which is the exact same thing that stops contract violations.

I'm too close to this topic for a chatty comment, but I'll just point to this IAU meeting: "Pulsar Astrophysics: The Next 50 years"[1]. It was held this September at Jodrell Bank, which has always had deep involvement with pulsar astronomy. Jocelyn Bell delivered the opening talk, and she got a sustained standing ovation. It was just a wonderful moment.

(And yeah, she wasn't a mere grad student - after her initial discovery and after it was dismissed by everyone around her, to borrow a phrase, she persisted.)

That's decently non-moderate if not extreme as far as that debate goes.

Nice strawman with the gender thing. The nature v nurture debate will continue but the fatalist "genetics trump all" sort of thinking is pretty solidly false. And the amount of bad stats in trying to apply population level trends to self selecting sub groups is just mindnumbing (ie the school of thought around woman tend to have these traits ergo the self selecting group that go into this field must also follow that distribution).

As for the specifics of current progressive politics, I think the pendulum has swung a bit too far in direction of needless specific taxonomy; however that's a better state of affairs than the prescriptive "a man is this; not that" sort of thinking that dominated previous generations.

As a bisexual man Im a bit biased though; I think the average American is way too hung up on tying sexuality and gender into their identities.

That $1 you pay to other IP companies, like Arm, gives you access to a fully verified design with support from the best engineers in the field. And those companies want you to succeed because they will only those royalties if your device reaches the market.

By saving that $1 and by not buying IP from other, you will need to invest it in time, in engineers, in know-how, in support, in verification and so on, all by yourself.

It might not necessarily be a good cost-benefit situation.

> as a technically sophisticated HN reader, that you don't need the nanny state to protect you in this way.

Thanks for your compliments, but I think of myself more as a fairly well-informed American who graduated college in 2010, the same year I found myself in a lecture hall for a career planning class and 5 out of 300 students raised their hands when asked "Who here has a job lined up after graduation?"

So no, I don't accept that we must submit to a nanny state controlled by centralized banks, and I will continue fighting for these projects to exist and thrive. And not just for a quick buck like you seem to think this is. You can see it as "investments" and miracle money or whatever, but it's more than that. It's a way for people like me to finally say "fuck you" to the banks that have ruined so many lives (and for what, exactly?) and finally in a way that makes them listen.
I agree with you and there are opportunities afforded to almost everyone. I think a few small tweaks are necessary, not these large wholescale proposals.

One tweak is having a robust estate/death tax. That will create a more level playing field. People will complain about double taxation because their whole lives they are building a fortune for their children, but passing tens of millions of dollars to your grandchildren is not something we need to protect.

I actually had this problem with Nest thermostats: One of them was "locked", as in the whole UI was behind a password, by the previous owner, who moved out and took his wifi AP. I then moved in with a new wifi AP with a new SSID and new password, and the thermostat obviously couldn't get network access. Without network access it could not be unlocked remotely, and without being unlocked its network could not be reconfigured. There is no way to factory reset the device nor flash firmware to reset it. Eventually I called the previous owner and got a few candidate PINs (he had forgotten...)
