It all depends on what you are trying to do. Some good analog parts use a BiCMOS process with both BJTs and FETs, which is exotic and complicated. The margins of any process are usually complicated, though. Just look at how many billions it takes to develop a cutting edge digital process.

In my opninion it would be easier to do interesting analog parts in a home lab than an interesting digital part. Making an opamp would be easier than a processor and more interesting than an XOR gate (around same # of transistors). Also, you can do some analog stuff with only NMOS or PMOS, which simplifies things by at least 50% compared to CMOS.

For a home lab, you care about process and characterization, but variation isn't as much of a concern because you won't be making that many. Also, just look at the development of the semiconductor industry. Early factories (making analog parts) didn't look that much different from what you could cobble together in a garage. By the time they were doing integrated processors, things were a lot more high-tech.
I had a teacher who's brother worked in security, his bonus for the year was 6 figures IIRC. His salary was 300k but this was a while ago (5+ years).
I am really very comfortable with the notion of "delaying" a theoretical but probably wrong event in favor of helping real people who exist now.
Not sure if it counts. I'm working on making public several hundreds (if not thousands) of photos of cell sites from around the world (but mostly in my home country of New Zealand). Using Caddy as a webserver. Pages will be in plain Markdown (which Caddy will render into HTML along with a reference to my homegrown CSS). Not sure yet where I'll host it but perhaps in a Hyper.io container or in a VPS I already have running for other sites. Photos will be hosted on Backblaze B2. Nice simple project that I've been putting off for years.

It's funny to call groff "modern".

Nothing wrong with using it, it's just that it's nearly three decades old, which in software terms is pretty much ancient. troff was newer when groff was created than groff is today (~26 vs ~27 years, if WikiPedia is to be believed). So...I think it's more reasonable to say "extremely ancient troff sources vs. slightly less ancient groff".

It doesn't necessarily matter whether they were affluent or not. When trying to understand what conditions our bodies need to be healthy, lacking definitive wisdom on the subject it's rational to try to understand what conditions proto-man lived in. What foods he ate, how he spent his time, and so forth. Whether or not proto-man was affluent, he spent countless centuries in a certain kind of lifestyle, and in all likelihood his biology adapted to that lifestyle.

A good way to spend on new year
I doubt it's about the government like another poster mentioned. Cash works great to subvert the government and that's exactly what a lot of little shops do. It's probably because as a merchant:

1. You don't want to _ever_ wait 45 minutes for a transaction to potentially be confirmed on the blockchain. Even before the recent craziness and high fees this would sometimes happen.

2. The price fluctuates wildly. Pretty hard to reason properly about whether or not you'll be able to pay your employees this week if your "store of value" could drop 20% or more at a moment's notice.

3. The fees charged by exchanges to convert to fiat are exorbitant. Unless all of your suppliers and handymen take Bitcoin, you will get screwed by this on the regular.

The bulls usually scream "Lightning network, scaling, store of value" or some other nonsense, but the truth is, today Bitcoin is garbage as an actual currency.
OkCupid user since 2006 here (with multi year periods of inactive account).

The OkCupid website hardly changed since 2006. The only big changes I've seen is making their messaging someone dependent on first liking / starring them. Now this name change...

I'm surprised by the sudden change -- I was prompted when I opened the app. I did change my profile name to my real first name.
I'm already easily identifiable on the internet (for example through an image reverse search), but my first name and city usually suffice to find me on your favorite search engine. While this puts me at risk (which I can personally manage), it does make others more comfortable. In fact, I want people who are motivated to be able to verify that I am a real person.

That being said I'm glad that OkCupid (now; perhaps a policy update) is not forcing real names to be used. It would be better if they altered their prompt and asked for an online nickname that is not a username and need not be unique.

I doubt OkCupid will let users search by real name. The username still seems to be an internal identifier for the time being. The profile URLs are of the form https://www.okcupid.com/profile/<username>

If you knew my username you could still directly jump to my profile despite my real name update.

Just for fun -- compared to the OkCupid population I'm apparently:

* More Organized * More Polite * More Scientific * More Nerdy * More Mathematical * Less Spiritual * More Confident * More Athletic * More Trusting * Less Suave * More Indie * Less Friendly

There is definitely some bias since OkCupid users mostly come from a US culture background I believe. I come from a certain European country that would be well described by the above ;)
> The costs vary with the type of drug and the enforcement regime but the social costs never go to zero.

There's an argument to be made that most drugs provide a social benefit as well as imposing a social cost, and that for some drugs, the benefit is significantly greater than the cost. Examples might be Modafinil, LSD microdosing, some amphetamines, etc.

Unfortunately, most Americans don't understand that people may perceive them and our government this way.

To be honest with you, at least in my memory of news coverage from the 90s until the war ended, there was very little if any notice of your civil war or the plight of the people. The most attention Sri Lankans might have gotten from average Americans were either post-tsunami (even then, more focused on Thailand and Indonesia) or when MIA broke onto the music scene (a very small demographic).

I've been to parts of the world where 'USA' was used as graffiti and people loved us because of what we had done for them but the average American would be hard-pressed to identify what we saved them from, if even the where the country is.

There are massive arguments for isolationism once more in the country, and ceding both soft and hard power to other countries. Many people don't understand the good we have done in the world, as well as the bad.

You are definitely barking up the wrong tree if you think the current administration would have any interest but their own at heart.

If "everyone" though Netflix was "useless", then its win came out of the blue. Meanwhile you're trying to argue that the current hype around Bitcoin is justified because of something that _might_ happen in the future.

Again, this is a myth spread by people trying to tarnish Bitcoin Cash's image.

The truth is that the money can't be lost. If you have the Bitcoin Cash private keys for the deposit address, you have the Bitcoin Core private keys on the Core chain. All that happens is that someone accidentally receives Bitcoin Core instead of Cash.

Even if, as you say, this citation is too recent and reflects some more recent change, and the selection wasn't literally random, he'd still have to somehow be chosen, which doesn't seem entirely within his control.
One key point is that metamaterials have unusual bulk properties, but they’re still made from the usual materials, alloys, etc.
Freedom of religion is extremely notional in much of the world. How do you propose that 99.99% of Rohingya would realistically have the freedom to explore and choose a religion other than their own? Not to mention that their ethnicity is only really debated by the majority who have traditionally treated them like dirt, and are now driving them out.

Not to mention that Judaism already sets a fine precedent for the massive gray area between ethnicity and religion, just for a familiar example.

As someone who genuinely believes that providing a legitimate (or as legitimate as possible) avenue for people to purchase drugs (I'm less sold on arms trafficking and sale of stolen credit cards) I was surprised to find how much a genuinely felt like I disagreed with the bulk of this articles content.

While I haven't been in the market for any drugs for a while I know enough people who regularly frequency DNM's and I tend to check in every now and then just because I find the whole ecosystem fascinating.

This article seems to imply that the entire dark net market thing is as simple as ebay or airbnb, but it's actually a lot more complicated. There's a ton of extra stuff you need to do to protect yourself not just from the vendor/buyer but also from the market places themselves, because they are also "untrusted" this means things like multisig transactions and the like are a must.

Additionally the view that a vendors pseudonym is important is just flat out untrue since people realised how much money there was to be made by hacking vendor accounts or claiming a known vendors name on a market that vendor does not yet have a presence on. The key thing is being able to do what is generally considered reasonably high degrees of security based validation, by verifying an identity out of band from the market. This means using GPG keys that you have sourced from previous interactions to communicate, double checking with vendors over wickr or secure anonymous email services to ensure they are the person you are dealing with on a marketplace.

Essentially once a vendor has a reputation the marketplace becomes irrelevant entirely. If it where me, I'd rather do a direct deal using GPG encrypted messages over wickr with a vendor I trust than buy from a vendor I don't personally know on a market that I shouldn't trust (exit scamming must be way to tempting).

I admit that I'm not entirely engaged with the current workings of the DNM's at the moment, but other than being a place where new vendors can earn some reputation, the value add isn't that high. And now that it's a mainstream activity (relatively to buying drugs in the open before silk road) I feel like it's only a matter of time before new vendors can earn enough reputation just frequenting reddit boards on the topic and making sure they have good opsec. As soon as they get one or two people happy with what they've bought, it's all word of mouth from there. (Obviously they need to deal with security of being on the clear Web, or just set up their own onion site)

With regards to a point that was mentioned about block chain history being useful here, it isn't. All it does is help law enforcement, unless you mix your coins appropriately through a trusted party in which case the history if your transactions isn't verifiable and it's useless anyway.

What are useful are services like grams, which (at least when I last checked) scraped reviews from market places, reddit, etc and aggregated them based on the vendors public key.

I feel like this article was either written about 5 or so years ago, or the information it contains simply hasn't been updated in a very very long time.
>or for something unrelated but mentioning 'Hey Siri, tell me about [product being sold]'.

What? Seriously? Commercials try to hijack your devices? Isn't this fairly clear-cut unauthorized access of a computer system, and therefore criminal?
I wouldn't have corrected you. I think your comment was fine.

> I realize that some of us have worked a lot more on numerical methods, but other hackers never made it past Calculus 2.

While that didn't occur to me, I do appreciate trying to keep things accessible.
I would argue that in a lot of cases, people become victims due to the current laws and societal standards surrounding drug use.

The illegality of (for example) heroin drives:
* uncertainty of quality/content of drugs purchased --> higher risk of harm/overdose from use
* often, reliance on crime to fund --> financial and/or criminal impact on families/friends, and/or wider society
* social exclusion of users --> emotional impact on families/friends

If heroin was legal, regulated, freely/cheaply available, and then became no more socially unacceptable than (for example) alcohol or cannabis, then most of the current 'victims' would cease to be victims any longer.
Tinder is supposed to be more for casual encounters (if you like the pic you might match) while okc tries to go for more more long term relationships (matches are suggested based on a larger vector of features). There is some overlap but it should not be so big.

Show HN: Cardwhat – simple and interactive UI for sending custom postcards

You must not have had to come from Brooklyn to Manhattan during commute hours. Daily (or multiples times a day even) occurrence in that case. I’ll still gladly take MTA over Muni/BART any day, but NYC could definitely learn a thing or two from Hong Kong or even London’s subway systems.
Hi, I made this as a way to improve my programming skills and as an experiment on what a good UI to do simple tasks would look like (looking to create a custom t-shirts web app in the future).

Keen to hear any feedback. Will be releasing the front-end code base (Typescript, React, GraphQL) on Github. It's been a good learning experience for me that might be a good reference for other people too.
This is why coin mixing services exist. Otherwise as soon as you cashed our your btc you would be obviously traceable to all your purchases.
US over time has developed this amazing alternative system to deal with all kinds of really complicated b.s. it involves guys and gals in black robes. They even get to say "Agree, that thing you signed is stupid, so we are going to presume you did not actually sign that".

Use them. They are lovely. 1-800-BUILD-A-BEAR lovely.

They also happen to love to smash into faces of smug dumb entities. Like Google. Or Apple. Most often because they have their own horse to ride. But who cares. Just. Use. Them.
Yes, and they do. Which is why people should rely on the gpg keys of vendors as well as watching forums and other buyers to work out if things have suddenly become suspicious.
I would say it is quite cagey. I'd argue if your specs page says phone has 1.8GHz processor, it must deliver 1.8GHz otherwise it is faulty. If it does not live up to specs, and you (Apple) know about it, it is direct deception of the customer. I'd bet 100% court case victory for any complaining customer.
Here's a little writeup of how I could imagine mathematical proofs as a useful proof-of-work: https://pastebin.com/raw/ZAys0mYp

Note that it's more of a market for mathematical proofs, not a replacement for proof of work in a currency that needs a new block every 10 minutes.

Still, "miners" (theorem provers) get rewarded for their efforts with tokens.

My mathematician friends say such a genericized proof market should be possible using Model Theory.

If you do get some on your hands/fingers I've been told to carefully wash your nails and cuticles because it can linger there unnoticed.
That's actually pretty clever since it draws the viewer's attention and also associates good feelings (humor) with the brand. So it's a parody of product placement that also happens to be an extremely effective form of product placement. Smart.
My theory is that they lag when logging people in and sending the questions over. Seems like streaming video is a solved problem, but they’re struggling to scale their custom logic governing the trivia.

It depends on what you mean by Docker. As a container, it’s adds a lot of conveniences, despite that at the end of the day it all boils down to cgroups and namespaces.

If you mean as a container orchestrator, I have no idea. Honestly Mesos seems much better than Docker or Kube in this regard. It scales better, is more reliable, and is more flexible. The one downside as I see it is there’s a steeper learning curve.
I used Tor to access Google "products". After taking a hiatus and logging in with the correct (strong) password Google essentially locked me out.

And no I don't have any "techbro" friends who work for Google.

Lessons:

Do not use Google unless you are OK with losing your account if they one day decide to hold your identity and data hostage.

Even if you PAY Google ("Google Apps" or whatever the fuck they are calling it these days), you are still at risk.

I began trying to phrase my comment above in a fashion as "values free" as possible simply to illustrate different "enforcement challenges" in different crimes. It seems the comments keep coming to back my comment being interpreted in value-based fashion.

Not that I wouldn't want to engage in a discussion of the merits of drug legalization but here I'd want keep the thread that "victimless" can simply be conceived of as a "how" question concerning a particular kind of act without recourse to asking the question of "whether" the act should happen.

In the crimes usually described as victimless, the main thing is that all the individuals "actively involved" are seeking to make the act happened. To say this is not to claim that those who might be effected once the act happened aren't harmed, scared, victimized, etc. We would thus distinguish "active victims" (those mugged, murder, robbed, etc) and passive victims (relatives, friends, society...). So we could perhaps distinguish "active-victim-less" crimes and say all crimes have passive victims - for those who want this set of value judgments.

Can I get more clinical?
Maybe for white people.

You mean culturally homogeneous people. I guarantee those names are arranged in a Pareto distribution, in which the vast majority belong to tiny numbers of people, while everyone else has names that are common within their culture, be they Michael or Mohammed.

But I presume you're one of those delightful "white people are boring/unoriginal/have no culture" folks, so carry on.
