On that note though, I agree: I don't like it. I hate it in fact.

No checks and balances like you get with government-backed currency.

It brings to mind the Tom Clancy book, one of the Net Force ones I think with the online VR company that declared itself as its own nation state... didn't end well

Facebook Libra Payments Partners Waver on Cryptocurrency
"much more elegant and cleaner" is a bit of an overstatement in my opinion...
I'm always reminded of David Macaulay's Motel of Mysteries. The great white porcelain sarcophagus, heart of the sacred inner chamber.
How a double-free bug in WhatsApp turns to remote code execution
It's an ongoing process. 10s of thousands of jobs were taken out the last two decades by changes to check processing. Check imaging and clearing by image transmission or conversion to ACH, along with more payments being made by credit cards, resulted in shutting down rather large back end operations that were coding, sorting, repairing, transporting, returning, re-presenting, and including paper checks in customer's statements. A check that processed without any irregularities didn't cost much. However, any errors or unusual processing that a check required cost a lot.

What is needed to really reduce costs is a payment system that eliminates error and irregularities, or which uses AI to handle them.
TikTok seems controlled by a company controlled by the Chinese government (Bytedance), so China's intelligence agencies can now vacuum up infinite cringey videos of people doing silly things. Quick someone tell the DOD there's a database of silly videos gap between the US and China!

As I've said many times: just move all those old cyberpunk novels to the nonfiction section.
A bug that implemented range based multi-select when Shift is pressed
It's own RAM. The memory bandwidth of my GPU (616 GB/s) is about 23 times higher than that of my system memory (26.5 GB/s). And I have applications that utilize 90% of that GPU memory bandwidth.

React-genie: Animate React elements as they scroll into the viewport
It has, yes (at least the ones I posted). I can definitely open source the code if there's interest, I didn't initially just because there's a password committed in the firmware. The BOM isn't interesting at all, it's just a WeMos D1 mini with a microSD shield, and the LED strip is connected to that and powered by two 18650 batteries in parallel.

Not only that, but sintering is also (generally) a lot less sturdy than a completely machined part.
It’s not just tellers getting replaced though, it’s brokers/salespeople/traders - jobs that were once coveted.

I foresee a future where every major bank just gives their clients (hedge funds, asset managers) an API that they can call to electronically trade securities, rather than a phone number they can call. This is already in progress (see Tradeweb)

At the end of the day, when you’re competing with 6 other banks to offer a better bid-offer spread, you need to cut costs any way you can, and that means cutting humans.

Moreover, as sales and trading becomes more commoditized, all the salespeople get the axe. No need to take clients out to expensive lunches, etc.

How to Get Opt-IN Merchant Processing Leads
Can you elaborate on the business case here? Why would a business want to make it easier for non-developers to implement infrastructure as code, when they can give the task to the developers they already have, or hire more developers who will also be able to do other things that add business value?
So the problem is not bad habits from consumers or the over-use of disposable plastic containers, it's some rogue Chinese ships. How convenient.
Everyone in the EU has heard of it, at least for the fact that everyone received a whole bunch of email that mentioned it on May 25th 2018. I'd say a lot of people know that "it's about privacy"; the actual understanding obviously varies.
I don't know how this works in the UK, but personal bankruptcy still has a stigma attached. I also know that if ever happened to me, I would be extremely unlikely to ever work for a bank again.
DDR4 isn't even adequate for mid-tier. NVIDIA's lowest end desktop GPU (GT1030) comes in DDR4 and GDDR5 variants and the DDR4 version has roughly half the performance.

Besides the obvious speed, Sublime has the best-looking font rendering of all editors.

Might be a minor detail, but all text always looks great.
Related and only half-serious, but I am irritated by the crazy names people give to food, which tend to appear out of nowhere as some foreign dish suddenly becomes popular, and then also acquire restaurant or region-specific variations not reflected in the name.

Many times in my life I wished people would adopt chemistry-style naming for food. So instead of "devolay" (which, it turns out, is a misspelling and shortening of "de volaille cutlet"), they'd say something like "fried, breaded, X-stuffed chicken fillet" where X is "butter" and/or "dill" and/or whatever the local chef invented. Or at least a "cabbage salad" instead of "coleslaw". Yes, it's longer. But I don't want to store countless of arbitrary words in my mental hash table; I have plenty of other stuff to put in there.
Ask HN: Where are all the Apple Watch apps?
I've done several searches and can't seem to locate a list of available apps.

After buying the Series 5, as a first-time AW user who also doesn't use activity/health apps, I've become very interested to find all the apps I can choose from. Aside from tech publications showing "our top 20" style lists, and a limited showing on the AW App Store itself, there seems to be no large lists nor, seemingly, a whole lot of interest in the growth of the AW app ecosystem.

Am I missing something or is there only so much that the AW can do, and thus few apps on offer?
Most of the issues I've had with Reddit have been down to moderators, rather than the admin staff themselves.

I won't name the subreddit, because it essentially names the moderator involved, but I answered a question regarding website performance on a popular developer subreddit. Someone responded back by saying that I was clearly a terrible developer because I said that squeezing performance out of a personal site wasn't essential. I told that person, quite bluntly, not to be a dick, and I got permabanned with the message "no, you're a dick".

I protested to one of the mods, not necessarily for my ban to be rescinded, but for that mod to stop being a dick to people. His comment history showed a pattern of that behaviour, and (most likely) a pattern of bans. The other mod unbanned me, and I left it at that.

Weirdly, the only subreddits I've ever had problems are the larger ones. I post regularly on /r/Games and /r/bjj, and both are moderated brilliantly.
I don't see why not, but be sure you are actually getting $50k worth of engineering services. That seems super-risky. There's a whole population of weird bottom feeders that try to snag equity in early companies by promising the moon to founders and once they have a contract not delivering much if anything. I don't know if these creatures make any money but they do leave a trail of messy crap in cap tables that real investors don't like.
Maybe my experience was worse being young and renting in Paris, but they wanted several things on top of that (birth certificate, passport, job contract, last 3 utility bills).
Wonder if this will have an impact on plastic straw bans on land. It was always a feel-good hi-viz, low-impact measure given little evidence behind the measures.
No one heard about it, at least in Spain. My father asked me about it because he heard it on the news, but I'd say that 99% of my non-tech friends have no idea of what it is about. Anyway, I work for a large telco and they are very paranoid liabilities involving data. It's a behemoth, so you wouldn't expect them to be this careful.

As far as I remember, they still sell some anonymized data (they had some demos on how to plan public transport with location data) and I'd bet they are not doing much with DNS data.
The new slab memory controller
The current generation of bank branch tellers aren't making much more than minimum. In some cases just talking to the teller will generate a fee against your account if you don't use the ATM.

Wells Fargo employees had to generate more and more service fees to justify their employment. That was what came of the investigation a few years ago. If they weren't opening X new accounts every month they would be terminated.
I'd second this. Trying to raise money from European investors is like pulling out hair from a damp blanket. "I will give you a 'relatively small sum of money' if the other eight people you talked to will give you 'relatively large sum of money'" is common when talking to self proclaimed risk capital investors.
I find that it helps differentiate the different components of the query. Same way we use all-caps for constants, etc. If it's lower-case, or camel-case, then it just sort of "melts" into the rest of the query.
If one told me beforehand that those people from conservative background would do such things on a video and share it with the rest of the world, I'd say you have no idea about Turkish culture. But now I say I had no idea about Turkish culture and what those people are capable of. I literally get shocked every time I watch a tiktok compilation video. I wonder if those are the same people I see in the street everyday.
Sure, and if you believe that the ACLU and edward snowden are fighting against democracy, then I'll admit that your position is quite possibly logically consistent.
> Why would you fear ISPs offering an encrypted service?

encryption doesn't hide anything from whoever's on the other side, just the people in the middle. If the goal is to not let ISPs in on your DNS history, then DoH to the ISP won't do that.

> 3 years in Germany after permanent residency gives you citizenship if you pass the requirements, two big ones being language and generally not allowing dual citizenship.

Two wrong assumptions.

1. One must have lived in Germany legally at minimum 7 years (https://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/faqs/EN/themen/migration/...)

2. Germany allows dual citizenship in some cases, always allows with EU states (https://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/faqs/EN/themen/migration/...)
UGC platforms seem to inevitablly ditch grassroots in the end, how many grassroots do you see on youtube now?

I think the fast nature of Tiktok is driving it much faster to that same end, I've seen plenty of widespread Tiktok fake videos that were created with the sole purpose of getting the most views, like those fix things with ramen pack and glue.

I started on Medium way back (2-3 years ago) since it was easy and the UX was relatively clean. The main benefit I continue to enjoy is a large audience; lots of people find my articles who might not otherwise have.

They made synfuels from coal, which contains a lot of, uh, coal. So no need to capture it from the air. They didn't worry about CO2 pollution back then.
Didn't really thought of that :). But this was in 2015 and basically just a very lo-fi weekend project without any care about resolution or color reproduction (I saw pixelstick project and just wanted to see if I can make something similar :)) after which I used the LED strip for something else.
This may feel a bit nit-picky, but they haven't been added to ECMAScript yet. There are two features here: the optional chaining operator[1] and nullish coalescing operator[2]. Both are at stage 3 of the standardization process.

Changes to proposed features can still be made at stage 3 if critical issues come up. Otherwise, once implementors have sufficient experience with them (and tests & multiple implementations exist) the proposals will be eligible to move to stage 4, after which they'll be able to be included as part of the next ECMAScript spec.

Both proposals are progressing through the process very smoothly, but I wouldn't rely on them for anything critical just yet.

The UK has an easier company creation process (compared to most countries), which doesn't mean other countries are necessarily bad or that you need to do it all alone.

Yes it would be better without the bureaucracy but it doesn't mean it is unsurmountable.

Sure, today it's easier to open a company in the country of your choice, but there might be cases where you want or need to open it in a specific country.

(Also, life happens. I doubt the work of any startup started only after the paperwork was 100%)
That's neat :)
Human embryos have extra hand muscles found in lizards but not most adults
If you're thinking about FIRST Robotics Competition, then yep that's nail-on-head about what they do. I briefly talked to one of the folks responsible for that system and they mentioned looking into using a CDN, but couldn't match the relatively low cost of serving a static file over HTTP elsewhere. That being said, the traffic is still enough to tank that entire Azure region last time I checked during the release window (other assets on the same host / their other hosts in the same region were incredibly slow to load.)

Can you please backup this claim? I've found nothing to validate it.

> and who was fired by the FSF for briefing against the FSF's interests

According to every source I've found he resigned himself and voluntarily stepped down and left "on good terms" to take care of SFLC which he had recently founded.

It might be political jargon, but there is no way to prove he was fired.

AFAIK Moglen never worked or took money from Oracle.

If the costs of servicing the unbanked can be reduced to be less than the expected revenue, why wouldn't someone serve that market? Maybe Chase Bank doesn't want them but if they can be made profitable, some bank will want that money.
Which - provided that the trucks are used to transport/deliver (hopefully) needed goods, leaves us with three-fourths of fuel used on roads for (likely) less needed uses.

Seriously, from what I read as experiences here on HN, it is common to have daily commuting times of more than 1 hour (twice) to "deliver" (and bring back home) someone (by means of a huge, relatively heavy and gas guzzling 5 or more seater with only one person aboard) that very likely could have stayed home (working from there) seems like an easier target.

Dishonesty Drains You
Land and sea transportation can much more easily shift towards other energy carriers such as batteries. Or using electric trains instead of trucks, etc. For ships even nuclear propulsion might be an option if the CO2 price rises enough.

Aircraft, not so much. Liquid hydrocarbons have amazing energy density, both by weight and volume, and in aircraft that matters a lot.
I like HN for insightful, often critical, commentary but I have to admit I'm getting pretty tired of these quick dismissals based on anecdotes and gut-feeling.

"No, X is not the issue at all, the issue is Y because Europeans are like this and this is why Europeans do things. I know this because I know."
It's probably because they are at a music festival and don't want to come across as people not "in the know" at said festival in front of thousands of people. I'm sure if it was just a newspaper reporter or a random person, they probably would just admit that.

> a step towards big companies trying to break free from governments

Welcome to cyberpunk.
IMO, Facebook's greatest achievement was getting my parent's and grandparent's generation on social media. You know, the people with disposable income that attract a wide range of advertisers.

Ten years ago I thought it was impossible. Any social media network that can't achieve that, including Snap, is probably counting its days. Facebook also has an absurd amount of user and interest data.

I always thought those who considered Snap to be a real threat (and now TikTok) to be ignoring the underlying revenue growth vehicles of those companies.
I read the argument and then re-read it. Went through few odd stages of amusement and I still disagree. Defending Nazi right to express free speech is more necessary now than ever given that people apparently forgot what an important right it is.

As for the argument that, opinion gets people killed, I can only reply with the following.

Opinions don't kill people. People kill people. It is important to know the difference.

This doesn't have to be the case. It is up to new business owners to decide how much their employees should work, what they should make and how often they should take vacations. Anyone can set an example at any time. As far as I know there is nothing to stop anyone from setting their own standards for fewer working days, shorter days, better pay, more vacations.
That's why more people should use it. You can't take a closer look at everyone.
