Because Coincheck isn't even a top 10 exchange and $500 million isn't that much money in today's cryptomarket anymore. Plus, I think there's some "fatigue" with negative crypto news from the past few weeks, and most people expect cryptocurrencies to start a bull-run soon. So they just shrug this off.

If this would have happened after a month of two of a bull run, then yeah, I could see some panic selling and a significant price correction then.
Yes!

I started writing about random experiences and thoughts at my blog: https://www.pixelsbetween.com but since I decided to self-host instead of going with a specific platform, it feels like I'm on my own tiny island.

I would love for a better way to share and find independent content like my own.
How many, at this point? This should be the expected outcome for a crypto exchange.
I studied that manuscript a bit at university, and the questioner in the audience was definitely on the right track wrt the Bible being valuable as a source of training data. We trained on the pre-15th century translations of the Bible in a number of languages. Off the top of my head, there was Old Church Slavonic, Vulgate Latin, Bibilical Hebrew plus a number of other languages people had proposed over the years, but the statistics from Voynich Herbal A and Herbal B were never very similar to any of the languages. The closest fit we found was for Manchu, trained using a Manchu translation of the 'Dao de Jing' which made us hopeful for Basanik's Manchu Hypothesis or a modified Proto-Manchu hypothesis (http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~stolfi/voynich/04-05-20-manchu-the...) but as we dug deeper, the n-gram frequencies ended up being wildly off.

Over the years, I have been more and more doubtful that the Voynich Manuscript is natural language at all. Hopefully someone will come along and prove me wrong, but I have stopped hoping that any of these headlines is the answer for quite a while.
I believe Agnus(?) and the CPU had to wait on each other for the memory bus - as evidenced by the CPU getting slower when the screen resolution was increased, due to the greater amount of video memory being read per frame.

Someone has tried making a bicycle that steers the other way as a psychology experiment:

https://ed.ted.com/featured/bf2mRAfC
Oh, I wonder why oh why do people use ad blockers?
And that, and your peer comment, are the beautiful part of this example. If you start looking into it, it's even more bloody complicated. Cars and ships both have changed the way their steering wheels work. Some ships don't have steering wheels and instead have straight rudders or computer controls. And motor boats can rotate the ship through motor and rotor control without using the rudder.
Turn wheel left, motor/rudder moves left, vessel moves left.

Ship's wheels are older than steering wheels in cars. If ships weren't "turn the direction you want to go" cars probably wouldn't be either.

It's only opposite on small craft without a wheel and is just a fact of where the pivot point is compared to the user's hand and the motor/rudder.

Based on my years across various companies, the difference between "hobbyist" and "mediocre professional" developer/programmer is close to nil
This article suffers from a fundamental flaw; the case of ‘Grace’ is a poor one to make any of these points off the back of. There are undoubtedly many cases which would highlight the issues raised, but of course they won’t involve Aziz Ansari. Still, this is a case which ended with a woman finally saying “No” and immediately being met with the offer to just watch some tv, clothes on. It seems unfortunate to use an example of behavior which may not be the ideal, but falls far short of both coercion and force.

As a group, we’re sorting through everything from rape and sexual abuse, through coercion and harrassment, to the merely awkward or ill mannered. I can’t emphasize how much I feel bright lines need to be drawn between the first two categories and the last.

The Red Cross is very protective of its symbol. It is used in war zones and other situations where people might be very tempted to abuse the protection it is supposed to provide (e.g. mark an arms transport with a red cross, which would be a war crime). Therefore, the Red Cross tries hard to keep the use of the symbol constrained very tightly to avoid its meaning getting watered down in the public conciousness.
This is actually what I do.

Yep. Whenever the price falls more Tethers appear and the price goes back up again.

The Bitcoin price hasn't reflected fundamentals for years. The fact that the Bitcoin Conference stopped accepting bitcoins because the system is so broken, yet it had no impact on price, should be a hint.
To benchmark A0 further, you can take whatever NN you're training and instead train it against the 'ground truth' of Velena's moves when going first (the NN predicts for each possible move if Velena would take it or not, 0/1 labels). Then one can know how close does the A0 NN trained via expert iteration approaches the Velena-supervised NN and how much compute is spent on the need to train from scratch?

What strikes me about this is actually tangential to the specific issue the article addresses.

New technologies push the bounds of opportunity and risk. Folks trying to take advantage of the upside will exploit anything to achieve their goals. In the process, natural systems will emerge to combat them and close the exploits. This amoral process actually leads to emergent, unanticipated outcomes. You actually NEED the chaos upfront for society to eventually discover a stable equilibrium.

All the negative externalities from BitCoin / blockchain are really just a naturally occurring shake out of kinks. Much like the wild experiments and exploits of the 90s eventually led to the equilibrium we have for the current Web.
Disagree strongly.

There exist good cases for instant persistence, like switching themes when you want to see the effect immediately before you decide.

Other than that it's really nice to be able to cancel everything when you realize you've messed up.

For ads it makes a certain amount of sense... you can put animations in the ads that are driven by JS, or make the ads interactive. Calling this "script injection" is perhaps misleading, because the JS wouldn't be running in the security context of the page it's in.
Ask HN: Support/service desk tools and tips?
I'm an engineer at a smallish company with 5 other engineers. Over the last 3 or so years, we've been focused on developing and selling our software to about ~20 large companies world wide. So far things have been pretty informal when it comes to support. Whoever was responsible for a specific project is the support contact for that project. This means clients have our personal e-mail addresses and sometimes phone numbers. Clients like this, because they know who they're dealing with.

This used to be OK, but it no longer scales. We've now reached a point where some of us are constantly switching between projects in order to provide support. So we're thinking of centralizing and formalizing all of these support tasks.

The first step would be a support@ e-mail address and maybe a phone number which could be rotated to whoever is currently taking care of support. But then we'd need a shared mailbox, or maybe forward support requests to the right person? And the phone number would need to be managed to be directed to whoever is on call. Sounds like a hassle. We have an issue tracker (Jira) which we use to follow up on support on our end, but we've been hesitant to hand out customre logins for Jira given the expense of their license.

How have other growing business handled this growth-induced support phase? Any tips are welcome, as well as tool recommendations to make this easier.
I was thinking of that analogy as well. With weapons, you can claim it is for self defense.

I guess some people will argue that releasing ransomware will make software developers study the different types of attacks, so they increase security in computer systems.
I don't like the key on this map. The actual map has some kind of alpha overlay that seems to go to fully transparent for the darkest parts, while the key is 100% opaque black for the darkest parts. In parts of the map it's hard to tell if you're in the darkest area. A hover info window would be helpful.
Somewhere, someone said to their business partners "Why, what if we decided to chew through the useful economic life of someone else's assets without telling them?" and the people in the room said "Sure, lets go get it done".
Agree with diversity approach.

It's like in a military service where tank crew consists of soldiers from maximally opposite backgrounds to minimize cultivation of bias/conspiracy/hidden agendas from crew members.
Your entire premise is incorrect. Even with Yondr hundreds of people will be able to call for help. Such as ushers, security, ticket takers, concession workers, event management, etc, etc, etc.

Yondr means less (or at least less rapid) social media publicity for a terrorist act, so one could argue that it deters terrorists.

Thinking about Graham's Number reminds me of this quote from CS Lewis's That Hideous Strength

"Saturn, whose name in the heavens is Lurga, stood in the Blue Room. His spirit lay upon the house, or even on the whole earth, with a cold pressure such as might flatten the very orb of Tellus to a wafer. Matched against the lead-like burden of his antiquity, the other gods themselves perhaps felt young and ephemeral. It was a mountain of centuries sloping up from the highest antiquity we can conceive, up and up like a mountain whose summit never comes into sight, not to eternity where the thought can rest, but into more and still more time, into freezing wastes and silence of unnameable numbers. "
It's largely subjective.

You can set an unrealistic standard of cleanliness, like: polishing doorknobs, cleaning windows, the roof and the basement every day. Or do your cleaning routine twice per day, or 3 times... when does it stop?

Then, at some moment cleaning has diminishing returns and becomes redundant. Plus, day to day activities may require to make things dirty temporarily, and wanting to preserve a permanent state of cleanliness may interfere with those activities.

I was never at risk for this kind of attack due to my ad blocker, but I can't help but wonder why the ad was allowed to run in the first place. Surely Google of all people have the resources to do analysis of javascript code that is submitted by an advertiser, and not push it out to the platform if this kind of stuff is detected. This isn't even that hard to automate: does the ad use excessive amounts of CPU while loaded? Reject it!

Of course if the advertiser is allowed to load their own unverified third-party javascript from anywhere, these kinds of things can and will continue to happen. That's why I don't run third party embeds in my browser, and I don't think anyone should. (An unpopular opinion, I know.)
Facebook’s trust survey isn’t too short – but it is written badly – The Verge
This is why I run an adblocker, even for so-called "trustworthy" sites. When even top-tier networks like Doubleclick aren't doing the necessary due diligence to prevent malicious ads, what can I do as a user but block all ads, even while knowing this hurts the content creators who use those ads for revenue?
I didn't even know this. And it just adds to the example, especially because the boat part is flat out incomplete, with steering wheels behaving either way, and straight rudders, and motor / rotor control so you don't need to use the wheel to park a motor boat.

The more you look into this example, the more complicated and confusing it becomes.
I understand discussions where you realize you've taken a wrong position can be uncomfortable, so I won't bother you any more other than to say I addressed exactly your points.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_centers_of_Christianity#...

in my opinion, there were likely christians throughout the empire roughly simultaneously due to the strength of roman trade routes.. as to which places embraced the faith nationally, is a different story..

also: angles & saxons arrived to the british isles after the roman empire.. prior to this the local population was mainly celtic..

another interesting tidbit is that Emperor Constantine was crowned emperor in York before beginning his journey back to take the empire where he famously had a vision of the christian cross.. granted this is a few hundred years later, but still, very early, before the the british isles were settled by Anglo Saxons, and highlights how interconnected the british isles were with the rest of the empire in those days..
This! So much!

Many people just can't see the progress and the new possibilities offered.

Like you, I don't like ads because it distracts me. Mining on my CPU? I do not care. If it pays for bandwidth and allows me to get a ad-free experience, sign-me up!

Anyone working on this reading the thread? Can we ever expect an extension that will allow the far better tab management that Chrome has? Namely: Being able to scroll between tabs with the scroll wheel, and being able to select multiple tabs with shift/ctrl to drag them/merge them/close them/etc.

It's crazy to me that Firefox's original selling point was tab management, and today Chrome's is so much better.

That's because they want to represent the number in a particular representation.

They are not "completely" equivalent, they are equivalent up to the representation, converting between representations can have very high computational costs.

But equivalent up to the representation is the usual notion of equality in mathematics, and if you mean something else you have to define it.

(Obviously in computer science, this difference is quite important and we need to differentiate between an expression and it's evaluation)

I think about this every time I use my wife's macbook. She doesn't have natural scrolling turned on for her trackpad, whereas I do. I have to temporarily rewire my brain to make it work.

Should a trackpad scroll the scroll bar, or should it scroll the surface itself? Apple wants everyone to use natural scroll because that lines up with the touch UX convention—there are no scrollbars, you scroll the surfaces directly.

Oh no, persistency is great. But the problem is how non-functional their implementation is.

Say I write a user.js file with a few options. I can't have the typical dotfile model, where removing options from this file will lead to defaults on the next run. I need to unset them. Explicitly.

Thus, using a dot file to set up Firefox (user.js) is incredibly clunky and people don't use this much.

Postfix is popular, secure, flexible, well documented, and likely to be around in 10 years. The defaults are quite sane and it's battle tested on numerous large mail servers.

For a simple domain you only have to edit a few lines that numerous tutorials cover. Combining it with dovecot (similarly well designed, secure, popular, battle tested etc) makes for a robust setup.

Sure don't make the mistakes the OP made and allow relaying for the the entire internet. I can't imagine any sane tutorial has relaying enabled by default.

I've never heard of hMailServer, but hard to imagine it would be worth while and I wouldn't want to bet on it being around in 5-10 years. If editing a few config files and changing a few lines scares you then don't run a mail server. Otherwise pick something popular, well tested, and robust. Sure postfix+dovecot isn't the only solution, but I wouldn't pick something small/obscure/new either.
Perhaps that's the problem. Why are they "competing". Surely the facts of being a charitable organisation should make their focus working for the charitable aims rather than competing with anyone.

And even on a bicycle or motorcycle it's not that simple. At low speeds you can turn right to go right, but any faster and it's you do the opposite to initiate a lean and the lean does the turning.

This goes unnoticed on bicycles, but on a heavy motorcycle the it becomes important.

And then there's motorcycles, where the direction you'll turn will change depending on how fast you're going. :)

At very low speeds, a motorcycle behaves like a bicycle. Turn the handlebar right, go right.*

However, once you get up to normal vehicle speeds, it reverses and countersteering takes over. Turn the handlebar right, go left.*

It's one of the things they spend a lot of time drilling into your head if you take a motorcycle safety class, because a lot of folks get it wrong or incorrectly think that you turn by leaning. It's a UI problem that can very easily get you hurt -- but I'm not sure how you'd make it any more intuitive.

(*: Technically, countersteering is still in play at low speeds, even on a bicycle... but it's very subtle and most folks don't notice it, because you quickly correct the other way to re-balance the bike.)
