> I am unhappy you condensed my points down to something akin "taxation is theft mkay".

I was definitely not aiming at that, and I'm sorry if that's how my comment came across. I was trying to point out that saying "this just moves money around; money is not created or destroyed" is not a logical argument for anything. The real issue is what happens with actual goods or services as a result of the new distribution of money.

I largely agree with you on the long-term implications here, for what it's worth.

> in case of this tariff 'war' that'll mean returning to the bargaining table, ready to make some concessions

That's one plausible outcome, yes. Another one, though, is that we just keep on as we are, with somewhat reduced standards of living in the US in exchange for a stronger geopolitical position. This might well be worth it, but I think it's important to be clear that this is the real tradeoff we're making here.

Bitcoin mining has been custom ASIC dominated for years now. Almost all miners (in terms of hash power) are custom purpose built machines. So no, they really can only do sha256 hashing on payloads of comparable size to bitcoin blocks.

It sounds like the police suspected something beyond what she was actually doing. I mean, I'm aware of "the TV drama cliche of police nabbing suspects in hotel rooms" - but in this they just searched the rooms of her hotel room - including the window ledge - but they didn't confiscate her photos or search her belongings?

It seems more like they were looking for a specific person, instead of trying to intimidate directly. I'm aware of how intimidating this must have been, but they didn't say things like "show us the photos you took", or "don't discuss what you saw or else", or anything like that. She was already going to be leaving the town...

Or did they maybe want to catch her in the act of having sex with someone so they could blackmail her?

There's a strong implication that she suspected something else nefarious was being planned, which is why she kept turning down "too obvious" offers of exactly what she was in town for- but based on the behavior of the police who presumably did whatever they intended to do, it's not clear to me exactly what nefarious plan she wound up avoiding.

All in all, this is more confusing to me than anything else.

Critiques of Capitalism was specifically mentioned, Marx is pretty much the most influential one.

Capitalism has brought a huge population of the world out of poverty in the last century.

Wars over resources isn't capitalism, most starvation last century was caused by communism. Lack of medical care, I have no idea what this has to do with free trade and property rights. On the subject of healthcare, I live in the UK and the NHS fails to deliver adequate care and constantly doesn't meet targets, even though there is an ever increasing amount of tax payers money invested in it. So social healthcare doesn't work and the NHS is probably one of the better examples in the world.

Capitalism is just the results of free trade and property rights.

> And.. the citizens end up trading one master (capitalist) for another (communist overseer).

What are you talking about? If you live in a capitalist system in the west you have individual rights and property rights. Nobody is your master, anyone can start their own business and be their own boss.

If you wanna work for a large megacorp so be it. Not for me, I started my own small IT business. I make enough monthly to pay myself a decent pension (funded by myself), my own healthcare and buy myself property next year (just a regular house nothing fancy but it is mine, I won't be renting anymore if all goes well).

So I joined IBM in 2005 working on firmware for a project called eCLipz, which eventually produced the POWER6 family of systems. We've just shipped POWER9 which is in the #1 and #2 supercomputers in the world, Summit and Sierra. [1]

The "i/p/z" part of the project name is important, because it represents:

i - the lineage of the AS/400, which was a 'minicomputer' design from the 80's designed for multiple users, which came up with the idea of "wizards" for administration tasks before there was even a name for a "wizard." The "i" means "integrated," since IBM i is meant to require very little administration. [2] [4]

p - the lineage of the RS/6000, which begat AIX UNIX. The "p" indicated "performance." The box I worked on shipped at 5 GHz in 2008 (IIRC).

z - the lineage of the System/360 mainframe which the above article discusses. The "z" indicated "zero downtime."

The control structure and power and cooling infrastructure for the systems used common elements with that project. The hardware and firmware underneath the operating systems for i and p converged into Power systems, which eventually produced a variety of projects in the open source community (OpenCAPI, OpenPOWER itself, OpenBMC), and of course runs bi-endian to support things like little-endian Ubuntu or the classic Big-endian AIX or i/OS on the same processor core.

Interesting trivia - In IBM systems (Mainframe or Power), the cold boot of the processor from an unpowered state is called an "Initial Program Load," or IPL. The IPL lingo dates back to System/360 (see its Wikipedia), and survives to this day in really interesting places in the wild. Take the OpenBMC project, which aims to create a 100% open source software stack for those sideband management processors found in servers (and increasingly in other devices too). This github bug from a few months ago which complains about a bug causing "IPL" problems. [3] ;-)

I was fighting with them over the same issue for several months in order to get access to GDAX. I finally gave up and used competitors services. I sent pictures (via their webcam tool) of drivers license, passport and green card, and they wouldn't accept any of them. Emails to support detailing my situation were always answered with useless canned responses. I like the simplicity of Coinbase, but their authentication procedure fails when dealing with people who reside outside their country of origin.

That reminds me of the group that closed a valve on an oil pipeline[1]. The aim was to bring the case to trial, so that they could claim that they were acting legally, as the alternative (letting the pipeline continue to operate) was a direct threat to them, by its contribution to climate change.

The case got thrown out[2], because the prosecution couldn't provide enough evidence that the shutters off had done any damage, which sets the stage for a second attempt...

I'm sorry, it wasn't clear enough. My mistake.

My definition of here is Norway - if you cannot drive a manual transmission, your license is has a restriction. You can get ticketed for driving a manual transmission instead of an automatic.

I was lucky and learned to drive one in the US well before I moved here, but I imagine one would need to either go to a driving instruction school, get a special permit to learn to drive one with a qualified driver, or minimally take a driving test after having illegally learned to drive one before removing it.

Disclaimer upfront: I work at Prisma.io :)

It's very important to properly distinguish Hasura and Prisma (as well as AppSync & Graphcool while we're at it).

Hasura, AppSync and Graphcool are all Backends-as-a-Service (basically "Firebase for GraphQL"). You get an instant GraphQL CRUD API with a database and some ways to configure authentication/authorization. This is great for simpler applications but typically comes with limitations when requirements become more complex. Speaking from experience after 2 years of running Graphcool, we've learned from our customers that (especially larger) development teams quickly outgrow the capabilities of a BaaS and need more control and flexibility in their technology stack. This was exactly the reasoning why we've moved to Prisma which now replaces traditional ORMs and makes it easier for developers to build GraphQL servers (but also other applications like REST APIs).

Another point is that GraphQL was invented as a query language for APIs, not databases. Exposing a CRUD GraphQL API to client applications was never the purpose of GraphQL - clients should still be able to consume a domain-specific API that's tailored to their needs (you typically don't want to expose all CRUD operations to your clients in a production application).

With Prisma, we're trying to create the right abstraction™️ that helps people get started quickly but at the same time Prisma should remain the proper tool for them as their projects scale and grow in complexity.

Ask HN: How do you tell if a site is tracking you?
So I use LastPass, which currently seems to have servers down and I can't login -- another story. But when trying to figure out why it couldn't log in, I noticed the (new?) javascript access request for lmiutil.com.

So when I see something new like that, I tend to try to visit the website or search google to see what they're trying to get me to allow them to run on my browser. Besides, it could be a lastpass related CDN.

Going to their website gave a blank window, not too shocking. But the web search gave me this page:

https://cdn.lmiutil.com/lpassets/track-pageload-lp.v11.html?gaid=null

Seems to be another blank page, but if I view the source, it's sketchy. Excerpt:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="img-src https://adfarm.mediaplex.com https://bh.contextweb.com https://sy.eu.angsrvr.com https://rtb.gumgum.com https://partners.tremorhub.com... (long list of known trackers).

How would you go about proving one way or another what's going on here? Is this kind of things standard ad code for their actual website? Or are they tracking everywhere I use LastPass? It would be cool to find a tutorial of tools of the trade for tracing down the behavior of these complex interdependent systems. Or do the patterns and techniques used evolve too fast for anyone with only moderate expertise to figure out what they're doing?

Have you talked properly to the colleague in question? It seems like you've bottled up all this frustration for far too long, making this infected, which in turn makes it harder to talk about it.

Be honest and say that you're not sure if you want to stay, and that the situation needs to be resolved so that you can have a healthy working relationship again.
I think there are several projects trying to solve this, but DLT can make an impact in secondary markets for privately held equity. Ownership is difficult to verify, settlement is complicated, and there are many rules that govern the transfer of privately held shares. Nasdaq Private Market has been using (or at least evaluating) DLT/blockchain since 2014 when it was SecondMarket. Harbor, Polymath, Securitize etc are sort-of making an approach to this, but it's heavily token and ICO driven.

War is, by its nature, atrocious. Any activity that places death as the solution to problems is atrocious.

There is a point at which we have to consider whether war is worth the atrocity. What is so important that entire civilizations would condone the slaughter of their 'enemies'?

I have some of my own opinions on the above question, I only ask because I think the question should be considered carefully.
I imagine a 2-3 hour test that costs something like $200, which seems like a reasonable investment, if many or most employers are looking for it. For the companies, it would save an hour or two of interviewing. If they accepted the test as indicative of basic coding sanity, they could then focus their interviews on more general or domain-related skills.
Obviously he's referring to the current value compared to the high last year. You know where the current price of bitcoin is over 75% less than it was last year...
