My point is that “it will hurt the poor” is a very old and very tired response to proposals that externalities should be accounted for in the cost of goods.

Part of getting better at helping the poor is helping them directly rather than using extremely inefficient and indirect subsidies on various industries to do so.

This is honestly one of the things that most stresses me out as I get older. I don't use my insurance much now because I'm pretty healthy, but I know my cancer risk will just go up over time.

I've considered that if something like this ever did happen, I'd move to Lithuania and do it there paying in cash over trying to do it in the US system. Universal health care can't come fast enough.
That is very relatable, and results primarily from failing to identify false positives and false negatives in the hiring process.

An interview can result in a bad engineer being hired and later fired (a false positive). And an interview can disqualify someone who could have done that job well (a false negatives).

In order to keep the false positive rate low in the face of this noise, companies have to bias decision ever farther toward rejection. The result is a process that misses good engineers, still often preferences credentials over real skill, and often feels capricious and frustrating to the people involved. If everyone at your company had to re-interview for their current jobs, what percentage would pass? This is a scary question. The answer is almost certainly well under 100%. Candidates are harmed when they are rejected by companies they could have done great work for, and companies are harmed when they can't find the talent they need.
> the idea that you could do things independent of the system. If you still need the system to make it all work, then it definitely fails on the latter hype point.

Bitcoin is independent of the "system" but that doesn't mean you don't still need some system. You're just not locked in to any particular system. Using bitcoin doesn't automatically make you an anarchist.

What's wrong with reinventing the wheel? I think having alternatives for financial transactions is just a good thing in itself. Of course you don't have to use them if you don't like.
It's such an absurd expense that I wonder if I get diagnosed with cancer, I would just deny treatment, accept death, and hand my assets to loved ones. Not sure if anyone else thinks the same way.
More than 42% of 9.5M people with cancer drained life's assets within 2 years in the US.

UK glass milk deliveries still exist. We have milk delivered 3 times per week.

Avast have a vested interest in selling security products, so their claim that (paraphrasing) "if one device is vulnerable then the entire home is compromised" isn't at all surprising. Easy way to get that 40.8% figure.

The publication is quite clearly an ad for their Avast Wi-Fi Inspector product.
I see this will only shift the timings some offset. But many times it isn't enough e.g. if the video source is NTSC and the subtitle were meant for PAL.

In this scenario I use Subtitle Workshop, which allows me to specify two (or more) pairs of times, and all subtitles are synchronized accordingly.

Optimally the two pairs of times would be near the beginning and the end, but to prevent big plot spoilers, I usually use the beginning and 2/3 of the length.

I hate to be political, but anyone who looks at these numbers, and believe that the system is working properly as intended is absolutely an enemy of American Prosperity.
There's a significant difference between Bitcoin and cash, which is that the worst-case scenario for loss of your cash is the government in control of it just prints more and gives it to you (in effect, distributing the cost of your loss among everyone who holds that currency). This is not technically possible with Bitcoin, and AFAIK no system has grown up organically yet to provide some kind of "loss insurance" in the form of keeping some BTC in reserve for making victims whole.
Yes, and then the model will give you some result, but you will never know if you are accurately accounting for reality in all its complexity. The more complex your model, the less likely you are to match reality precisely. To quote a cliche, the model is the map, not the territory.

Exponential is linear in log scale, so maybe let's just say that a ticket will cost you N zeros, where N is equal to number of tickets you had in the past month.
actually it's just they use a ton more sugar and less cacao solids

Pretty much what I would have guessed, based on the food products available for sale it seems clear to me that Americans prefer their foods to contain the highest possible amounts of sugar & salt.
Can they really? The popular vote isn't enough to win a presidential election, you also need electoral college votes which aren't allocated by proportion of population.

At the local and state level, you can strategically implement gerrymandering to create electoral districts that are strongly advantageous to you. How would a political challenger not belonging to the dominant party win there?

Authoritarian regimes frequently win elections with 80-95% of the vote. That tells me that the people "can" vote him out.
Why at the doctors specifically?
My parents had this in the late 60s-70s in the country-side. It disappeared in the mid-70s/end-70s.
None of that has to do with blockchain. You as a human have the same trust in something.

In this case, instead of a verified, regulated, audited central bank, you've decided to instead trust anonymous, unaudited, unregulated actors who vote in majority.
Those who read Michener's "Centennial" might remember this person in there who carried a sourdough starter on his body on his trek to the Klondike and started some form of business based on it there. I read it just out of primary school (about 40 years ago) so I don't quite remember the details but the practice of keeping the starter for some fermentation process alive over a longer period of time is known and practised all over the world.

>Your comparing cash to something electronic. No matter how you spin it Bitcoin is not physical.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Bitcoin is something that has the advantage of physical cash (trust-less) and the advantage of electronic communications (you can't practically send cash to the other side of the world).

It also, of course, has the disadvantage of physical cash which is, once it's gone, it's gone. There is no way to reverse trust-less transactions now and there was none in the (pre-Bitcoin) past. Nothing has changed there and this is not what crypto solves. What crypto solves is trust-less transactions over the internet.
Sure!

Story: So I was doing a usability study with someone and they were saying how they couldn't find a particular document (I think it was a pitch deck) anywhere even though they'd tried for 20 minutes the day before. They were able to it after a few seconds in Haystack - it turns out they'd mispelt the name so it didn't come up in Drive, GMail or Slack when they looked for it!

Mobile: Fair point, our 'splash page' supports mobile which you can see here:
https://www.haystackapps.com

Tech Stack: So they extension is written in pure javascript using a framework I designed for some internal stuff I did for a previous company. We then use Babelify and Uglifiy to compile it into usable code. The web server is written in Node, but its very simple as it just hosts the splash page and generates tokens for the extension.

Appreciate the questions, let me know if you give it a try and if we can make it better for you!

> Maybe they are waiting for you to deposit more bitcoin into that address, or maybe they are waiting to collect more private keys before exploiting them all at the same time, or maybe they... why speculate?

Well, from a criminal's point of view, I don't see the upside in waiting. The owner of the coins could move them at any time, and then your loot is gone for good. I think it's safe to assume that if someone else has possession of your private keys, your addresses will be drained immediately.
I wonder what the downstream effects of this are on building generational wealth. 100 years ago, when your parents died, you might inherit a home or a small amount of money. That then helped uplift the next generation. Now, if your assets are drained, you have a reverse mortgage, etc, there's nothing to pass on except for the very wealthy.

Cancer sucks.
This will all be abstracted in time. One way I can think of is to have the funds periodically moved to different addresses, and obviously don't keep all your funds in a single address. This can all be automated and abstracted.

That makes it okay then? Because the US does shady stuff, that means China is okay to do what they want?

When I was in my early 20s, I got myself a beefy life insurance policy that covers suicide after some waiting period that has expired many years ago. I know that in case of crippling illness I can always take the easy way out while preserving my assets plus the life insurance payout. My family would be taken care of.
My plan in a situation that would burn up all of my assets for little guarantee of meaningful gains is to off myself to prevent using up my family's assets. I wouldn't want to sacrifice the future of the rest of my family to milk a couple more years, especially with reduced quality of life. Assuming I'm mentally strong enough to, anyway. Although, nowadays with mandatory out of pocket maximums, if you have insurance, this shouldn't be as widespread of a problem.

That's me. Sorry, but I just can't be bothered to support every browser's quirks. I check Firefox every once in a while, but really, I don't mind losing a few users if it means significantly less maintenance and testing for me.

It's like complaining that developers are increasingly shunning other OSes - if it works on Windows, it's ready to ship. Yet people do this all the time for video games and most Linux users understand that making a game that runs equally well on Windows and Linux and Mac is no simple task.

This is a 2019 article covering a study that covers 2000 to 2012 and doesn't mention the Affordable Care Act signed into law in 2010.

Correction: BTC is an attempt to make digital stuff that behaves as much as possible like physical gold.

Cash is a fiat currency and reproducible infinitely by the controlling government. The point of gold (as a money medium) is that it self-regulates the amount in circulation by being a tangible material in finite supply with cost associated in seeking more. This model has significant benefits and drawbacks (and, it's probably worth noting, its drawbacks are what led to the fiat model most countries use today).
The publication is NPR so that it is US news goes somewhat without saying. However, this is something that Americans need to understand is exceptional for a nation of its resources.
Dublin has plenty of shitty meetups. I wonder if an HN one would be above or below the average.
First, I have a problem with rewriting common utilities (like find, which also supports more search functionality than regex) while changing flags (e.g. `i` to ignore case to `s` - incidentally, grep also accepts `i` to ignore case). It makes it harder to explore the system interactively, particularly for beginners.

Second, the utility already exists, and this version is significantly slower:

> time ./ff '.*.cpp' ~/src/ > /dev/null

real 0m1.195s
user 0m0.488s
sys 0m0.671s

> time find -E ~/src/ -type f -regex '.*.cpp' > /dev/null

real 0m0.880s
user 0m0.407s
sys 0m0.425s

But wait! This is a totally unnatural use of find. If we use find like users actually do, we get even better performance:

time find ~/src/ -name '*.cpp' > /dev/null

real 0m0.553s
user 0m0.181s
sys 0m0.363s

Hardly scientific. But it begs the question: who is this for?
> Yes, a blockchain works when zero trust is needed/desired for transactions, but that's still an implementation-level concern

This premise is not true and is one of the (many) reasons why blockchain is just a buzzword.

Maintaining the ledger still requires trust, even if that trust is less centralized than a single company (and thats often not the case either)
There is not a separate crime of "theft of money" and "theft of property". Electronic crimes, like the theft of key material, is usually covered by different laws.

In places where there have been cryptocurrency thefts that have been prosecuted, they have been primarily pursued as cases of theft -- the US statutory definitions of theft usually only use the monetary value (the USD equivalent) as the determiner of the severity.

While such a policy of "do not pursue bitcoin theft" would theoretically be possible either as an explicit policy or an informal, I thing it would be unlikely to survive judicial scrutiny; it would be like insisting that car thefts only be investigated and prosecuted for American-made cars.
That's next week, but basically yes.
- Designed to carry crew

- Launch abort system (superdraco engines on the side of the capsule)

- Automated docking port, Dragon 1 has a berthing port that requires the ISS to use the CanadaArm to maneuver it in for berthing and astronauts in the ISS to make/release the connection.

From what I understand it's basically a ground up new design with a new pressure vessel. Eventually they will start using a version of Dragon 2 for cargo missions as well although supposeldy it won't have launch abort capability.
Even if the poles were modeled as just ice cubes floating on water, then melting them would not decrease the sea level, as 1/12th volume of the ice would be above water. So even with this very simple model the South Pole has no way to compensate the north pole’s contribution.

They have no love of the product. They have no love of or loyalty to customers. They have one target, to make money, and they have their system for doing it.

The only chance you have of changing them is showing them that they can make more money doing it differently. And, because they have their system that they think works, they're not likely to listen even to that.

Don't let anyone twist this news into an excuse for climate-apathy. First, making the Earth greener will require human cooperation, specifically towards the goal of reversing human-created changes as much as possible.

My understanding is because FRAM is still difficult to manufacture and is keeping the cost high. It's advantages will lead to it to be pulled in for those low power uses but it'll be a while to make it's way into the niche.
Also the losing side pays the chargeback fees in a chargeback case, which is why for small sums, unless the issuing bank is damned sure they'll win the chargeback, they'll just write it off and give the money to the customer.
