Why would it have to be compelled?

The government could say "look here, this is an actual national security issue" and Apple, Amazon, etc could say "oh shit, you're right - how can we help?"

If this were a real national security risk, what incentive would Apple, Amazon, etc have to tell divulge the truth rather than cooperating with the government? This is vastly different than saying no to a requested NSA backdoor.
Yes, Jesus Culture is the other big player in the space.

I lost when my landlord raised rent $150. My options were pay or argue. I picked argue, I lost, $150 went away.

In reality I would have squatted and forced them to spend 6 months evicting me, giving me time to save up firsts month rent for a new place.

There's a feature being worked on that is some way down the track, but will make sense of the name. If you'll forgive the teaser, but it's related to having conversational control.
Even if every key below the root were 1024 bits, why would this be an argument against the concept of DNSSEC in general? DNSSEC keys can, by design, be rolled and replaced, and people will replace them as soon as they feel it is reasonably safe to do so.

The perfect is the enemy of the good. What is the intended result of advocating for choosing not to adopt DNSSEC? Is this intended result actually likely, or is it more like a boycott for the principle of the thing?
Wow, that is a skill that should be marketable in itself!

That's not an apt comparison. Non-profits are still taxed, and only eligible for some sales tax exemptions (depending on the state - very few in some).

Religious organizations are considered tax-exempt.

I think emojis are less clear than plain text. Even with a good Emoji font-set, I have no clue what more than half of the emojis out there are supposed to be; on Windows, I have no clue what like 90% of them are since they are monochrome outlines. Also, inputting Emojis on most PCs is a pain.

There's also no drawback to doing this, since emojis all have unicode names anyway. So it's not like you're creating an entirely new standard.
stablecoins achieve many of the original goals of bitcoin, but not any of the most important goals. the important goals are censorship resistance, and fixed monetary policy. Nothing in the crypto space addresses these goals better than Bitcoin.
> If coinbase is involved in keeping the reserve, they can invest it various assets and keep the earnings

If that's the case I wish they were up front about that fact. I think its completely reasonable that they would keep any earned interest as compensation for managing the coin, so just be honest about it.
Short term securities more than likely. Same way paypal/venmo makes money with your balance.
I regularly hit a search [1] to pick up Rust related stories. Most Rust-related articles don't make the front page and most see no comment activity at all.

Lately the WASM+Rust stories see a lot of activity. Also, some 'I learned Rust and this is what I think about it' type blog posts attract comments. The rest do not. 10 hours ago: "Ask HN: Rust, anyone?" asking who is using Rust in production. No replies.

From the context supplied it appears to me that this was a first offense. If it were a repeat offense, I would agree. I still recommend a softer tone. If your goal is to maintain a healthy collaboration, that helps. Either way, the offended party is inferring motives that may or may not be accurate.
Interesting.

I know what dirt, grass, various weeds, and even dog poop taste like because I did a lot of weed cutting with powerful string trimmers in high school. The "Weed Eater" brand name is more literal than I like to think about.

Are you holding cash? The S&P500 is up something like 200% since 2008 so it's hard to understand how anyone's savings could have lost value in the past decade.

It started out pretty weak, but I think it's fair to admit it got a lot better by the last 3 episodes or so when it got a little more invested in the characters.

But the real test has been the fact that I haven't bothered to watch it again. I'd rather watch "The Simpsons" or "Futurama" for the N plus 1th time.
Presumably the same way that banks make money? They invest the money that you deposit.
One of the things about technical debt that I have seen is a lack of a real accounting system that at least ballparks the costs in real dollars.

Countless acquisitions happen where technical due diligence is not performed, and acquirers realize later on they have wildly underestimated the cost.
I’m not OP, but I don’t think you need to convince anyone of your position.

This is not a problem that requires resolution in order to succeed. Different people have different ideas and philosophies. Build software with a group that’s compatible.

Done. Problem solved. There’s enough cool projects that if you disagree over something that one side of the argument thinks is trivial then you don’t have to stay married for the kids. (Or even get married in the first place)

It seems like a Jainist marrying a Baptist and then trying to really convince the Baptist to go veggie. It’s a big deal to the Jainist, part of their core beliefs, really important. The Baptist doesn’t care. Only cares because they’re married.

Now imagine it’s a stranger on the street that the Jainist is attracted to and goes into “quit meat so we can date.” The stranger is likely going to not respond. Eating meat is not an issue for the stranger, even though the Jainist thinks it’s really important (and millions of other Jainists do as well).

PS- Jainists are cool, and while I don’t know all Jains, I’m pretty familiar and never met one with such an unreasonable approach.
Solving real problems is not the same as doing things that make you feel that you are through your imagination.

Keep in mind that slide-rules typically have more than one scale. So there could be a scale for volume, a scale for weight- even a scale to estimate cooking times.
I understand its an ERC20 token. Do you understand how Coinbase and Circle will remain within regulatory compliance (AML/KYC) regarding USDC and the obvious potential for money laundering?
Becoming a lawyer is also way harder than it needs to be. Anybody should be able to sit for the bar. In most states, you must have completed an education in law, and in the few that let you sit for the bar without a JD, you need to fulfill some arcane requirements like 20hr/week for a year of judge shadowing just to sit for it.

I would readily consider self-studying for the bar considering I'm interested in the material and it would be extremely useful, but I have a full-time job and don't want to pay money to an online school just to be able to take a test. It doesn't help that there are almost no good free online materials for learning law, although you can of course just look at / ask about good college curriculums (curricula?) and acquire the materials yourself
I mean that knowing the chain rule does not, historically, imply seeing that automatic differentiation is possible and efficient.

There are a few cryptocurrencies that are actually interesting. This is yet another nonsense money grab.
We don't have great cheapo phone plans compared to Europe. I think the fancy pants bells and whistles ones can be closer.

Healthcare tends to suck if you don't get it provided by your workplace. If you have a job with healthcare, your outcomes are pretty decent (on average, better than Europe in many cases, for example Cancer survival rates). If you don't have a job it is all free, as no one to make a broke person pay. If you are in the doughnut of <have a few dollars> to <paying $300 a month for healthcare> is a big deal you are really screwed. Developers are past that doughnut, so we do okay. Plenty of people do not though.
> Stablecoins seem like they would achieve most of the goals of the original cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin

Correct me if I'm wrong but Stablecoins sound like the opposite type of thing that Crypto-anarchist(s) behind Bitcoin tried to achieve.

> I suppose the only drawback here is that they're issued from a centralized authority

This reads in a hilarious way. Kind've like saying "I've found a perfect way to buy a car - I suppose the only drawback is that I'll actually be buying a lawn mower"
Cloudron.io works pretty great as it automated all the DNS setup. It also gives you the option to run other apps like GitLab, Rocket.Chat etc as well.
If I were being generous, I'd say that there are parts of the charging process (variations in charge, temperature, etc) that the hardware can't monitor, but have to be kept in certain ranges to maintain good lifetime/safety for the battery. So, instead of adding the sensors, they're restricting the charging devices. I can imagine that wireless charging is a bit complicated (see apple's problems) and it's easy for other vendors to get it quite wrong.

If that were the case, I think that they should include the stand with the phone.

Otherwise I think it's a bitter-tasting money grab.

It's Jordan Peterson talking, he has quite a reputation outside of PragerU. But this one video is very short and sums up the attack on free speech from a unique angle his other videos don't do and it's specifically about universities.
Seriously, what is the point? Even if this is a perfectly honest and functioning system, if you're using a currency that is pretty much like the dollar, regulated as the dollar, inflated as the dollar, why not just use the dollar?
Dangerous people are filling the heads of young people with dangerous nonsense. Who are these people? They are what Jordan Peterson calls “the post-modernists:” neo-Marxist professors who dominate our colleges and universities. And here’s the worst part: we are financing these nihilists with tax dollars, alumni gifts and tuition payments. Time to wise up.

Calling Marxists nihilists is contradictory, and Jordon Peterson does not have a good track record of accurately discussing either post-modernism or Marxism. So right off the bat, I don't think this video is going to be a valuable use of my time.

Edit: Plus the hyperbolic language included in the description indicates to me that I'm not about to hear an even-handed discussion of the issue that seeks to accurately represent the opinions of the other side.
That's still in the limited uses that not having proper SQL semantics allows.

I've had to deal with a key-valued-json database on another technology. Lots of different json shapes, even when they are supposed to represent the same concept. Every new feature bringing its own tweak.

Low performance, as ad hoc materialized scans + hash joins had to have been developed in the app. I hated every second of it.

In the end, I came away with the following exhortation for people tempted to eat the easiness of MongoDB-likes:

The world is not a tree. It is a graph. Each entity in the database exists in real life, and interacts with others freely each in a specific manner. This is why they cannot be represented as trees (which is what json is). You need a graph, types, constraint checks, and acid semantics; and boring postgres tables + SQL will provide that.

Sure trees are a great way to represent and transport a piece of state. It is self-contained and succinct. This is why I'm a big advocate of GraphQL on top of an RDBMS. Out of the graph of properly stored entities, you can extract the tree that is relevant for the app view you're working with.
Ask HN: Consult a lawyer/accountant?
All along the forums, and here on HN, the terminal advice is always, "consult a lawyer/accountant". This seems to be advice given, but what exactly does that mean? How does one "consult" a lawyer for their project? How does one learn how to contract a lawyer for consultations?

Why isn't there a public resource that can put people in the right direction?
I like your idea of identifying if you are new via iCloud registration. I think this event should trigger an extended first-run setup flow that hits all the major accessibility features under the assumption that most new users would benefit from becoming familiar with these features from the get go and how to access them in the future. I know many senior citizens (including parents) who would have greatly benefit from an accessibility settings heavy onboarding experience, related up many of the issues the author mentioned regarding eye sight and vision related age decline.

Apple's mistake was really that they didnt do proper load testing on their batteries. Had they shipped a battery that was capable of keeping up with the phone, this wouldn't have been a problem to begin with.

Instead, they pushed their users to buy new phones, or pricey fixes for a manufacturing mistake
Rails uses foreign keys by default, usually I generate a migration file with `rails generate migration AddThisToThing this:references`

Then this line is generated `add_reference :things, :this, foreign_key: true`

and then we call the migration, and there is the foreign key.

Either google doesn't know how to implement the Qi standard[0], the wireless power consortium compatibility tests are complete garbage[also 0], and/or they have discovered a known defect and are trying to work around in order to prevent another airplane-fire recall kind of situation (highly unlikely, if true). I hope that Qi pulls their licence for this move, but I doubt it.

Ah! You're right! But that's a different Motorola (arguably the "real" Motorola) that makes the rugged devices. However those rugged Motorola phones aren't on the Android Enterprise Recommended list.

We are all lawyers now? People have always dealt with the law. They get into disputes over wages, buy and sell property, get married, get divorced. Shakespeare included lawyer jokes in his plays. The self-service legal industry predates the internet; I remember the packets you could buy at the bookstore for do-it-yourself wills and divorces.

I know, I know, it's marketing fluff so I'm supposed to give bullshit a pass, but why are we upvoting marketing fluff on HN?
Well, it'll be interesting to see if Tether falls apart soon.
"Stablecoin" in general generates a ton of legal risk for the operators.

If you can make peer-to-peer transactions with it, then the coin operators are definitely not complying with Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering laws. This will pretty reliably get the US Feds to raid your offices, seize your website and servers, arrest the principles responsible, and prosecute them. See also: Liberty Reserve.

On the other hand, if you can't make peer-to-peer transactions with it, it's basically a "blockchain" in name only. There's little advantage over traditional bank account systems. Maybe the programmability and verifiability helps? I just don't see that sort of thing doing a lot compared to the whole money-laundering use case, though.
Lawyers are also infamously expensive in billable hours. Not to mention scope creep of law both with contract proliferation and law sizes with no condensing efforts or even garbage collection of long unenforced, obviously superceded by higher courts, or so removed from societal context to be nonsensical laws.

If it is omnipresent enough and too expensive to defer everyone had to practice some law then.
Farmland not land
In this instance I disagree. This is a smart contract which will create USDC for each USD that Coinbase reserves. In other words, each USDC has a single USD backing it. To back the guarantee they are slowing audits of their reserves.
This one is pretty straightforward.
While they both suck, AFAIK none of them will increase your mortality.
Ask HN: What is the best exchange to buy cryptocurrency in your country (+why)?
I'm in the US, and I have purchased all my cryptocurrency through Coinbase. Was that a mistake? If so, why? I'm thinking about fees, flexibility, safety, etc.

And, what are the best options in other countries? I'm assuming MtGox would be low on the list for Japan.

(I'm not so familiar with Ask HN, but would it work to start a thread with the just the exchange name and countr(ies), and then add comments on the why in the thread below? That way it is easy to do a quick vote and then read the conversation below if you are interested.)

I wouldn't say that Bezos has an obligation to maximize well-being any greater than ours; but as the other comment pointed out, he is uniquely placed to have a much larger impact on large-scale problems. You're absolutely right when you imply that he is no better suited than anyone else to become an authority on those problems. And I think we are morally responsible for influencing problems within our means. Bezos can fund public libraries and provide clean drinking water, whereas I can comment on HN with a rudimentary understanding of meta-ethics :)

By the way, "cropping" as you used it could mean either of two things.
Coinbase has USDC, Gemini has GUSD. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. I'm curious if adoption becomes a function of which fly-by-night exchanges start launching pairs.

But then again, if the fees are low enough (if my $1 truly gets me one token, and one token gets me $0.9999 back) these tokens are going to be useful in themselves without needing to be traded on seedy exchanges.

It would be great for taking micropayments on online services.

The thing I worry about is how these tokens are set up. If there is central control, can the governing bodies at any time decide to deactivate my tokens? I'd like to see the actual "contracts" behind these tokens. And even then, the contracts can change and be updated. Obviously there are some regulatory protections, but that won't fix people hacking these contracts.

I guess what I'm saying is, "hmm, interesting, I'll check it out in a few years." Until then I'll likely just use it for hedging against other cryptos while speculating if/when I decide to get back in the market.

I feel both you and esotericn have simultaneously valid points. It would be valuable to students to have different scenarios where you have a kid, or don't. Even scenarios that occur in different countries, one with a safety net and one without would be a really valuable learning tool.
Ask for hiring authorization to hire an assistant to press buttons when you’re away. Maybe they’ll get the message.
Maybe you could explain how to consult a lawyer or accountant instead. That would actually be really helpful for a lot of people who have never needed to retain a lawyer or accountant, don't know what to look for, and have no idea where to even begin to do so.
>but the broad strokes are completely reasonable.

"completely reasonable" is one of the last ways I'd describe broad strokes that do not approximate the average or median case.

All the bad stuff that happens in a year or three happens within a month in this simulation. Certain good options (if my washer is broke I'm doing my laundry in the sink thank you) are unavailable or neutered (the whole point of renting in BFE is the low cost of living but groceries are still city prices). If you're making $1k/mo your healthcare is free (thanks Obama, no really). Etc. etc. The picture being painted here is definitely not quite reality. I have relatives who's income is on the order of the simulation. Life generally trends upward for them so long as they don't make particularly dumb decisions.
> The problem is Apple makes the other option, battery replacement, extremely difficult

Take it to an Apple store, call Apple support, or take it to any one of your friendly neighborhood repair shops?

> ludicrously high amount

Battery replacement costs:

Google Phones: $79

Apple Phones: $79

Samsung Phones: Nothing 1st party, $50 was the cheapest 3rd party I could find.

This honestly doesn't even seem like that much when the battery itself retails for $25 before shipping. That plus an hour of skilled labor to do the replacement puts us right around $80-$100. And when a new battery extends the life of your $800 phone for another 2 years its hard to say the value isn't there.
