> his billions funding organizations that seek to start populist movements that promote his values and narratives.

I have seen a reversal on people's attitude on Soros in Eastern Europe. Initially he was seen as a benefactor, just someone wanting to bring openness and promote democracy to various parts of the world.

Eventually people realized he brings his own version / vision of "openness" and the end goals of his NGOs and movements do not necessarily align with the interests of the country they operate it. Not that the interests of the local government align or are beneficial to the local populace, either but that doesn't automatically make his influence a positive thing either. (The enemy of my enemy is not automatically my friend, I might just have 2 enemies now).
It's easy to say that when you're well provided for, but one of the recurring themes I've heard from people in poverty is that your thinking literally changes to survival mode. So, I'm with you, in that it seems like there's an easy solution to this particular problem, but when you're scrambling for shelter and food, I can totally see how I wouldn't be able to approach a problem like this from a higher level.

Another element, I suspect, is that washing dishes takes precious time and energy, that an impoverished person probably doesn't have. It's easier to just throw away the dish. I'm not judging. If I stood on my feet for 6-8 hours doing grueling menial labor, I'd be exhausted, too.

I think us here on HN can have a tremendous impact on different levels of poverty if we listen to the struggles of impoverished people, and then use our well-fed, psychologically-safe minds to help brainstorm higher-level solutions.
This is a non sequitur. They were able to grow so fast because they're in non capital intensive industries with limited constraints on their ability to scale up rapidly and were able to leverage the birth of a new marketplace and an existing telecommunications infrastructure largely financed by the government and by other corporations. The impact of their internal culture with regard to politics is tangential at best and probably non-existent given that these issues have only come to a head in the last few years.

China has similarly dominant tech companies and I'm sure they do not share SV's political opinions.
You can use it to lazy load CSS/images/anything you have a webpack loader for. Some of the loaders like CSS can't help but be sideeffect-full, so lazy loading them isn't always the best plan, but it certainly is possible.

> If so, what does this improve? Time to first paint? Time to first interaction? Time to DOM ready?

Could be any or all of those, yes, depending on architecture. Webpack bundles CSS, images, etc into combined JS files ("chunks"), tries to get the important hot path stuff into the first chunk, and then load other chunks as needed. With dynamic loading you can further make sure that additional chunks load out of the hot path, after first paint/first interaction/DOM ready/whatever else.
Just so I'm responding properly. What kind of broker are you talking about?

This is a bad article like most mainstream media writing on ML/AI. The original is a bit better and has an interview with him: https://globalnews.ca/news/3984789/voynich-manuscript-comput...

He only claims to have potentially identified the document's language as a form of Hebrew using a language detection model trained on UN documents. That let him incidentally decipher a few lines by literally typing them into Google Translate, but he doesn't claim to be an expert on Hebrew or have the ability to translate the whole document. He's looking for Hebrew experts to test his theory.

But by the time the story makes it into it's third re-write on a chain of bad news websites, it's "Man claims his AI deciphers unbreakable code that stumped Enigma codebreakers" or whatever.
I'm tired of people using the shallowest understanding of bigotry in order to harass those who call out bigotry. When a feminist says "kill all men", they're saying "the patriarchy has oppressed women for centuries and I'm angry about it". When a racial justice advocate says "kill all white people" they're saying "white people are literally murdering people of color and I'm angry about it". When a white male software engineer at Google makes the argument to everyone at the company that women are biologically less suited to be engineers, he's invoking an incomprehensible history of physical, financial, and cultural oppression -- a mindset that we still struggle to escape today. They are not the same thing.

Please start thinking more deeply about these issues and please do some research. Racism, transphobia, sexism, misogyny, and homophobia are all far more complicated than a few language rules.
I can’t remember seeing Schwab or Fidelity (or any others) hacked. At least not like this.
No, we don’t. Nuclear fusion is a theory, there is evidence it is possible. We can observe it by looking at the stars.

Omnipotent AI is not a theory. There’s no evidence it is possible. I have yet to even see a a falsifiable hypothesis about how it could come about. The most advanced hypotheses are something along the lines of “they’re getting smarter do eventually they’ll be infinity smart” which is not a strong claim.

Evidence suggests intelligence is niche specific. Humans are smart, but in the middle of the ocean a jellyfish is smarter. A better prediction about AI is they will surpass us in some ways and not others.
At this point I've used it for web pages, web apps, Electron builds, and haven't needed to but could have also used it for Node.JS server apps as well. Webpack is certainly flexible enough for all of the above.

If you're interested in the study of religion at all (at least as a human affectation), it can get pretty interesting to get into the Hermetic and Gnostic texts. Some of the traditions and proposed knowledge exists on a timeline parallel to popular history going back thousands of years. It's really quite something.

It combined with other mystic traditions ultimately informed the theosophical movement of the 19th and 20th century through to the magick of Aleister Crowley. His sex magick informs a lot of the modern incel, red-pill, and proud boy ideas that you must refrain from "spilling your seed"—that your reproductive emissions contain some of your essential energy. The result being that you have to abstain or otherwise be reduced to a plodding pile of unenlightened goo (to give the idea some imagery).

So it's especially interesting, and a little funny, how in spite of the larger mysticism having fallen out of popular favour as a way to understand the world, they still influence a great part of it in a variety of outcomes as a result of lingering practices and beliefs finding their way into new systems.
Seems like hacks do occur, often for customer info, but looks like money is sometimes stolen, considering the number of banks compared to BTC exchanges I'm guessing hacks are relatively more frequent in the crypto-space, especially considering how much money can be stolen and more easily moved.

This is a terrible microbenchmark.

First of all, you're only benchmarking the time it takes for fork(2) to return in the parent subshell, nothing else. The new processes don't exist yet at this point, and certainly hasn't exec'd (which tends to be why you're forking).

Second, you're not measuring the cost at all. The forked children will, at some point, start executing on other CPUs, which includes finishing configuration and running exec, which takes time. The cost is the total cycles it takes before the child is executing the intended code.

Fork is damn expensive, but whether they're too expensive depends on the usecase, and the cost of expanding hardware.

Fork time scales with the virtual memory of the forking process, and you're forking from a fresh subshell that hardly has anything allocated. It's even mentioned in the linked post that their issue stemmed from this (specifically fork lock contention spiking as fork time increased).
Ouch.

Something like this is incredibly regrettable, and a large amount of presumably novice investors have no doubt burnt their fingers. Yet, incidents like this once again underscore the importance of controlling your private keys. Until you do that, you do not really own your coins.

I suppose this also highlights the need for decentralised exchanges.

Sure, but if you author a package and put sideEffects: false in your package.json, but don't actually follow through on that in your code, that's a bug in your library, and the easiest fix is a quick PR to remove sideEffects: false from package.json, with a stop gap that if I find a library with that sort of bug I could tell webpack sideEffects: true to override the behavior until the bug is fixed.

You also have to take into account the probability of your exchange of choice being hacked vs. the probability that you'll get your own wallet compromised/destroyed/lost etc...

Given that cryptocurrencies have become pretty mainstream and given the average level of technical literacy among the general public I can understand why some might prefer to keep their coins in somebody else's hands.

> I don't understand why news like this doesn't have that huge of an impact of bitcoin's price.. Bitcoin seems to be hovering around 11k~ as I'm writing this. It's been at the same price it seems for the past couple of days...

Personally, I would like to understand what it really means to say "the current price of BTC is ___." It's not like stocks where you can see actual bid/ask and daily volume numbers. And since transaction costs and times make arbitrage impractical, the price is not even the same across exchanges.

This was an exchange, not a bank. I'm sure that plenty of banks and stock/forex exchanges have been hacked, but trades can be reversed, money reimbursed by the FDIC, etc.
Along these lines, one of the obvious things missed in this post: monitoring.

Setting up DNS servers on low cost VPS providers has some inherenet risks as they tend to attract all kinds of abuse, which can lead to things like mass scale UDP filtering to keep operations online.

When I scaled down my colo footprint I started to move DNS operations to various VPS providers to maintain redundancy, but kept my monitoring in place to perform health checks at 60 second intervals. Finally got annoyed enough with all of the filtering events tripping monitoring that I migrated everything to a hosted DNS provider.

I still remember one of his older films, I think it was Snowonder that is pretty funny to look back at:

1. There's an aerial shot of pre-eruption Mount St. Helens with commentary of the effect of "Here's a dormant volcano of the Cascades, at least we hope it's dormant."

2. In many of his films, there's a sequence with some kind of oddball snow contraption: monoskis, bikes with fat studded tires, etc. In this film, it was this weird thing called a snowboard.

> 'Human experience' is apt, just like 'internet experience' would be apt for those that choose computer interaction.

Depending on what you're doing on your phone, I would say it's the ultimate human experience, an almost constant connection to a global community. What's more human than being part of a community?

I think the problem is that people assume that more human is better, when any extreme generally has some downsides. Constant connection to the group has its problems. Being spread between many groups and streaming to keep up to date with their news can spread people thin and stress them out.

> You cannot expect hardened smartphone addicts to follow directives that crossgrain their addiction. The only reason harsh policies like this are being enacted is because wrist-slaps and pleas do not work.

I think couching it in terms of addiction and people's inability to control themselves is taking it too far and brushing any problems under the rug. Establish norms. Enforce compliance. Once someone gets kicked out of a concert they spent $100 or more on, they'll think about it before doing it again, and likely do will anyone they tell the story too.

Many years ago I got to see a Warhol retrospective at MoMA, and seeing the early works in person was a revelation. My own tastes leaned more toward the "traditional" abstract expressionists and I thought Warhol was too "surface" and not interesting or deep.

The reason why fiat currencies are main-stream is because there's trust. People trust they can deposit and withdraw their money to and from banks w/ some semblance of protection and have transactions with little friction. News like this signals that you really shouldn't trust any crypto-currency exchange yet (just browse r/coinbase and people are waiting 1+ month to receive funds) , and I'll see a headline like the above and it's not surprising.
