I tried looking up the arguments of Jorge Stolfi, however my Spanish is insufficient.

I don't claim to contradict that he is against the concept of cryptocurrencies or blockchain in general, but I fail to find evidence that he is against the technology in general.

I do find evidence he is opposed to Bitcoin in specific, or at least warns against it.

Could you point me to English writings where he argues against blockchain/cryptocurrency in general?
How do you train System 1?
Both cities are very expensive and have housing issues. I’m not saying they are the same or even all that similar in most ways, but all major world cities have big housing problems just some more than others. Good job being an asshole, though.
Ask HN: What are the most interesting fields to apply CS skills to?
People say that there's a lot of value on the intersection between CS and other fields. Like you don't want to just learn programming, webdev, ML, etc, but you want to learn programming + some other field, so that combining them would allow you to solve cool problems, create a lot of value, make profitable startups.

What are some examples of such fields? If you were to apply CS to another field, what are the top 3 fields that would generate the most value? If you were to learn something other than CS (for the purposes of building a profitable startup), what would it be?

How to easily configure WireGuard for common scenarios
This was apparently unintentional—the founder wasn't aware of the slang term when they decided on the terminology.

That said, I view it as a happy accident, since it keeps the tone a bit silly/irreverent and reminds users that their thoughts aren't that valuable.
The issue is that there are narratives that are 99% true (like the West's version of the Tiananmen massacre, or the Holocaust/WW2), and narratives that are 1% true, and deliberate misleading (like China's version, and Nazi's or Iran's version of the Holocaust/WW2)

People don't want to own to what they did. Not individual criminals, not states, not governments, not religions. Especially not when there's financial consequences.

(but the fact that western governments also hide disgusting acts they committed does not change the fact that there is a serious scale difference)
I think this has shown up on HN previously... Cant find the link though.
I feel like a simple plugin that pulled in your public Twitter friends usernames and offered to follow anyone with the same username @mastodon.social would really help here.

Wonders of the Cosmos
Its fully possible to tip a journalist or regulator these fays with a level of anonymity these days.
I kind of agree. At least, that's generally the way I prefer to do it. But I find I'm most creative when I'm working with other people, as long as I like working with them. They just always have ideas, and things to add to my own ideas, that I could never reach on my own.

What do you recommend instead for exploratory {data analysis? science?}
That was the technical Web 2.0. Apparently you missed how it was seen by marketing and media people, who couldn't care less about DHTML and Ajax.
It doesn't matter what kind of excuses they give. Once a canary is dead, everyone should behave as if the target has been compromised. That is what the canary is for, and once you sign it, you can't just go back.

If you don't continue updating a deadman's switch, it doesn't matter if you died or not: it activates.

> I always assume that journalists can, and should, have freedom to write what they want as long as it’s true and accurate. If I say to a journalist something is “off-limits” I assume it means I’ll end the interview and not engage with them if they cover that topic. Not that I have a right to dictate what’s written in the free press.

> I’m honestly asking, I may just be misinformed. Can a source generally put limits on a journalist like this?

Your impression of the relevant journalistic standard is accurate, but this case has some unusual features that mean evaluation has to go beyond what you point out.

A subject can dictate the terms of an interview, but they don't have say over what the final piece looks like. If journalists made that concession to people they interviewed it would significantly erode the informational value of what they write, so this is a bright line according to journalistic professional ethics (at least in the Anglophone world, which is what I'm familiar with). And this is part of Jeong's defense of Koebler: He wasn't under any obligation to publish an article that Wu would have liked. But.

In this case, the controversial claims about Wu were nonsense motivated by some pretty rank misogyny. In addition, Wu is working in a cultural context where such claims, when publicized, can materially affect her livelihood; worse, the politics of mainland China are such that they can put her in actual danger. (Another part of Jeong's defense of Koebler is that the harm Wu alleges isn't real; there Jeong seems on much weaker ground.)

So it was a terrible judgment call on Vice's part to publish the piece that they did. I actually doubt they had any awareness of the consequences publishing that article could have, but their lack of consideration of that is itself a professional lapse when reporting cross-culturally.

The bottom line is that Vice deserves opprobrium here, but not because they violated an agreement with Wu.
I can confirm that the binaries do not stop working after the 6 month.

There are about ~5 people that do AoE2 full-time. The #1 player in the world, TheViper, has over 1000 subscribers on Twitch (~$4 / mo each after twitch fees). So that's $50k/year just in Twitch subscribers. He probably averages another $25k/year in tournament winnings, and at least that in donations, probably a lot more. So at least ~$100k / yr.

T90Official (USA) and MembTV (Spain) are both full-time casters of pro & semi-pro matches, and they probably make $75k and $50k respectively per year, based on their sub counts and what I know of their donations.
I don't know mysql/mariaDB that well, but I know in ms sql server that doing a DISTINCT on a Function([Column]) would not use an index on [Column].

In this case it would be much faster to have an intermediate table or column with that statistic that could then be properly indexed.
In short: a scanning tunneling microscope moves individual hydrogen atoms, forming a readable binary code.

Same in Germany though. I get my voter registration paper thingy via snail mail, or new bank/credit cards, or the PINs to the new cards. A lot of important stuff, compared to the amount of spam I get.

I've not tried to eliminate paper stuff from the electrial company, neither the yearly report from the landlord. But I spend maybe 10 minutes combined per week reading mail, including spam I throw out. I'm confused now :P
But why would you make a few thousand dollars? That's part of what they're asking; how is there enough demand for so many small dating sites, many of which don't seem to differentiate themselves particularly strongly.

Swanson CoQ10 120 Caps Coenzima Ubiquinol Comprar
This article is a bizarre set of weird talking points, trying to tie together a conspiratorial narrative through such breathless facts as:

> To lock down his influence in Brussels, Macron needs to make sure he has sufficient clout to weigh on commissioners’ nominations, an objective he can only achieve via a broad voting bloc in European Parliament. His centrist La République en Marche (LRM) party is at work forging alliances with like-minded groups in other EU countries, notably in Spain with the Ciudadanos party.

Yes. He's going to "lock down his influence" by ... finding like minded partners?

> To press his influence with other governments, Macron relies on Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire to conduct high-level diplomacy.

European Finance Ministers in "they talk to each other!" shocker

> Mahjoubi, who was hoisted to his current role after running the president-to-be’s digital campaign, has been more active lobbying the European Commission, frequently making the hour-and-twenty-minute train trip to Brussels to meet with top EU officials and stress French views on everything from the bloc’s artificial intelligence strategy to investment for startups.

The fuck is this crap? This article is really odd.
The query in the article has no WHERE clause. It must calculate that function for every row in `commits`.
This book was a breath of fresh air for me. I had taken a college level course in history not terribly long before this book came out, and I felt that much of the content was wrong or questionable. This book helped confirm my original suspicion something I struggled with for quite some time. I am glad to see the author is pushing forward with what he originally stated. He was right.

On another note, it is interesting to see the flag has the gold trim around it in this shot.
What makes swarm computing different from distributed computing?
There is no confusion. There is a simple bargain with a canary: no matter what confusion is thrown up by bad actors, once it's activated, you assume the target is compromised.

If they're not really compromised? You don't need to ask that; trust is based on evidence, not some abstract Truth. When the trigger activates, you deprecate trust. It's really that simple.
Using data solutions to help understand natural disasters
Is it a paper or electronic shopping list? I've thought about that, but we're still using a pad of paper stuck to the fridge with a magnet, so it seems hard to implement. I generally do the shopping, and as I move to a new section of the store I run through the list placing dots left of items in that section. Then when I get each item I draw a vertical line through it. I find it easier to spot breaks in a vertical line than to spot missing check marks.
When such place is packed, I have no qualm to sit next to someone alone on a table for four, asking beforehand. Or even the other way around: if I'm alone on a table for four, it wouldn't bother me too much to share it.

Disappointed that Macron is following the old french playbook here. Was under the impression that he was a more of a liberal guy.

Unfortunately german conservatives are useless when it comes to internet regulation (see "Mitstörerhaftung", making platforms and operators of wifi access points liable if their users commit crimes), not sure how much resistance can be expected.
thx, that's interesting to see
Hmmm the language used to justify dropping the Canary sounds very similar to other services which ditched it in the past. Cant remember exactly but IIRC Reddit and Riseup said something like this.
For mobile users:

Since then I’ve had the chance in the world of mathematics that bid me welcome,
to meet quite a number of people, both among my “elders” and among young people
in my general age group who were more brilliant, much more ‘gifted’ than I was.
I admired the facility with which they picked up, as if at play, new ideas,
juggling them as if familiar with them from the cradle–while for myself I felt
clumsy, even oafish, wandering painfully up an arduous track, like a dumb ox
faced with an amorphous mountain of things I had to learn (so I was assured)
things I felt incapable of understanding the essentials or following through to
the end. Indeed, there was little about me that identified the kind of bright
student who wins at prestigious competitions or assimilates almost by sleight
of hand, the most forbidding subjects.

In fact, most of these comrades who I gauged to be more brilliant than I have
gone on to become distinguished mathematicians. Still from the perspective or
thirty or thirty five years, I can state that their imprint upon the
mathematics of our time has not been very profound. They’ve done all things,
often beautiful things in a context that was already set out before them, which
they had no inclination to disturb. Without being aware of it, they’ve remained
prisoners of those invisible and despotic circles which delimit the universe of
a certain milieu in a given era. To have broken these bounds they would have to
rediscover in themselves that capability which was their birthright, as it was
mine: The capacity to be alone.

I don‘t get what the actual problem is and how todays technology is limiting anyone to create something like a link-sharing (e.g. reddit) or link-redirect (hello url shorteners). Of course, if you need control over the content, then you have to build a content management platform, too (centralised or decentralised does not matter). But then you deal with boring copyright and other legal stuff.

And hey, browsers do allow extensions nowadays. And if that‘s not enough, build your own.
I had struggled with such problem as well. These are how I got out:

1. Coming up with internal dreams. This is something internal that when I thought about, I'm convinced I'd like to accomplish it. Ideally this is something whose cause you truly believe in, instead of just short-term impulses. To distinguish the two is pretty easy. Impulses have short lives while dreams last long. Even when you try to forget it, at times you'd still think about your dreams.

2. Make plans. When I got motivations from step 1 above, I don't code or execute right away. Instead, I create plan and list out what's needed to accomplish it. I know this isn't the most fun thing to do, especially when you're very excited about something, but I can't thank enough the plans I made.

3. Create schedule. I force myself to spend 4 hours of productive coding every day. No matter how I feel, I have to spend at least 4 hours. Whenever I feel very unmotivated, I simply work like a robot following to the plans created earlier, regardless of my feelings. I always reminded myself that back when I was working in a company, I would do things I didn't like due to the sense of responsibility anyway, so why would I make excuses now? Interestingly, often I ended up spending more than the obligatory 4 hours because I ended up being very motivated after I forced myself to just do it.

4. Exercise, stay healthy, and keep a balanced life. This is often overlooked, but this is very important. One can't just work tirelessly like a robot. It's much more sustainable when everything is balanced. It's like once you take enough vacation, you feel like going back to work and when you actually do, you're much more productive
Dating is like recruitement (in regard to your question).

We haven't come anywhere close to solving one-way discovery (finding the right movie for you on netflix, the right app on whatever store, the right game on steam, the right book on amazon).

And we're even farther than that at two way discovery (the employeer need to please you / you need to please him, the other person need to be attractive to you / you need to be attractive to her, ...).

And self-filled profile are terrible because we don't want to exclude ourselves, so "better keep that for the interview / first talk".

So dating site are splitting for the same reason job sites are; to specialize. You want a christian girlfriend, or maybe an asian one, or a rich one, or an educated one, or an artist, or ... Well there is a site for that. It offers a pre-selection that their algorithms are terrible at doing, and self-filled profile are lying about.

Eg look at the cupid network, it's artifically split between a lot of sub-sites specialized in a specific kind of love interest.

Composing reactive programs with MaestroFlow
I'm not really sure what your point is. With or without Mastodon people have already created forums/social media groups/online communities for like-minded people and will censor or not censor it to their liking. That's the freedom of the internet.

And honestly I'd rather have that than the current state of social media where everyone is on the same platform and yelling at each other and using retweets to shame one another. My experience is anecdotal of course but whenever I see people trying to engage in discourse with the other side, everyone just doubles down on their opinion and the conversation goes nowhere.
Mitstörerhaftung has lost it's bite, the latest court ruling makes network operators not responsible if someone commits a crime over their network. You might still get slapped with an order to block these sites but otherwise it's harmless now.
Those words are essentially saying that France (and Europe) want to stop competing. Macrons words might put some inconvenience on Google et al. but the result will be that the US as a place to be for companies becomes even stronger.

I wonder why more organisations don't do a globally distributed Canary with people in differing jurisdictions signing it. Not that it is likely to reduce overall liability but surely if it has to signed by someone in US, Switzerland, Hong Kong, South Africa, Lebanon etc then its going to spread the single point of failure?
