Lightning is live right now too, and has been for two years. The "ISP"-like (???) layer-2 thing you're referring to is just the fact that Lightning is decentralized and also scales, which is probably why the author accurately claimed that it makes many-TPS blockchains irrelevant.

ZK rollups are completely new and they do not scale nearly as well as Lightning, which performs at nearly 500 transactions per second /per payment channel/. So take the number of channels existing currently on the Lightning Network and multiply by 500 and you have a theoretical ceiling. It comes out to some multiple millions of transactions per second.
Hey Hacker News!

Thank you for taking the time to check out my latest project called NoteBuddy. Times are changing and a lot of people are switching to a remote lifestyle (whether it's for work or school), and that inspired me to build this useful tool.

On NoteBuddy you are given a "notebook code" when you create a new meeting. Anybody with this notebook code can draw, share images and videos, post sticky notes, chat, and more inside of your notebook. This all happens live over the internet.

There is no account system at launch because I want this tool as accessible as possible. This product is also 100% free at launch so you can give it a try risk free.

I really think so.

We had a pop-up bike repair workshop come around every month at my last place of work and it really increased bike use in the area.
You sound like a public television series circa 1985 talking about this new-fangled thing called "the internet."
The whole point of the comment is that we don't know what "MK-Ultra style mind control" means because the records were destroyed. We can only make educated guesses about what is likely to have survived the program.

If you think the guess is bad, that's fair. It's another thing to get hung up on the semantics of "mind control".

I find Dgraph to be one of the most interesting of the current batch of non-relational data stores.

I've wanted a robust, easy-to-use graph database for years (ever since reading about the crazy brilliant graph database stuff that goes on inside Facebook https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/tao-the-... ) and Neo4J never really cut it for me.

Watching Dgraph mature - and survive two rounds of Jepsen with relatively decent marks - is intriguing. I don't have a project that needs it yet but maybe something will come up soon.
Why do they do that if remote tech like videoconferencing can replace in-person interaction?

Because the screenwriter's boss is no different than yours: "butts in chairs, people. It's how collaboration happens!" Or inertia. Or enough other things that I'm not going to immediately leap to, "because it's the best way".
I'd agree that qualifies as a conspiracy theory.

"but Bitcoin is a digital alternative that is gaining acceptance and adoption around the world."

If by that they mean 'losing adoption and acceptance around the world' then, sure.

BTC has obviously lost the game at being any kind of 'currency' and as a real store of value beyond the speculative type, it's not quite there.

Are there any serious funds putting BTC in their portfolio as a matter of regular discourse?

When Buffet pulled out of stocks and went 'cash' a few years ago, did he allocated 4% to BTC? No, why not?

The industry is in a death-march, the path forward for blockchain, and such things is not quite clear.
That's beautiful. It's just begging for translation overlays on the exquisite wall detail.
Your calculation assumes one never needs to replace brake pads, chain, tires; it also makes no allowance for lights, tools, incidentals, or the occasions one might need professional repair. Incidentally, WD40 is not a good substitute for lube.
You have to pass `--enable-preview` to BOTH compiler and runtime.

If you think about it - the feature may change significantly or be even removed - it makes sense to only support a preview features in one java version.

Providing backward compatibility for preview features is simply not intended.
Well, this was just unfortunate timing. I hope it sorts itself out in six months for you.
Not to mention the plethora of issues that arise from trying to fit an ARIMA onto an AR(1) process... It's weird that people just jump into using insanely complicated models right off the bat.
I don't think you should make an analysis of our progress political. It does a disservice to "people on the right" if you think their opinions on the matter are somehow driven by left-leaning messaging. Such messaging has generally not, on other issues these past few years, done much to move right-leaning opinions. As such, if we're seeing people on the right are affirming opinions that you just "left", it should be much more thoughtfully considered as a legitimate, honest opinion, not one driven primarily by left/right messaging.

Anecdotally, I think its worse in the public sector. I know several public school teachers who have gotten graduate degrees for the sole purpose of getting a raise. Its not like a private company where you can get a bigger raise by impressing your boss.

Most school districts have what’s known as a “step and lane” salary schedule for teachers. These grids specify how much raises are worth. Teachers earn a “step” increase for each additional year of experience, with many teachers peaking with the highest “step” at around age 55.

Teachers can also earn more by having more education (those are the “lane” increases). Some districts pay teachers holding a master’s or doctoral degree a premium, while others move teachers into a higher pay column when they earn a certain number of credit hours of professional development.

The content of these updates is what is potentially concerning. Considering how much Play Services now handles, regular updates aren't that surprising, and like I said Android ≠ Google so this doesn't apply to all Android phones. The mechanism described in the article sent every visited URL in the browser and opened app or settings menu on the phone to Xiaomi.
Instead of Folding at home what about STT@Home and offer credits on the service for pooling resources? I've got compute I'd kick at this.
Personally, I think it's too oriented towards numerical algorithms. I'd drop the integer relation detection for RSA or maybe Diffie-Hellman as the most important cryptographic developments in the 20th century.
I'd look at various tech sub-reddits (like Rust) and ask why other communities can do it with more transparency and better volunteerism.
Run for the hills! You can make it! Run RUN RUN!
This summed up my experience with it pretty well:

I agree. I think it's a small amount for the government, that will still be a meaningful amount for the recipient.
I think it means that any existing OpenShift cluster is equipped with the necessary infrastructure and APIs exposed so that there is no Odo-specific server component required.

I agree the wording is unfortunate. Kinda like "serverless".

> The lightning whitepaper also says a minimum block size of 155mb is needed to work at scale.

Where? I just checked and can't find it. This statement also seems nonsense in isolation - positing block size requirements involves a lot of assumptions about network topology and load.
If only there were some scientific discipline that studied complexity and proved that problems possess some essential, minimal, complexity below which no implementation can go...

If anyone proved such a result, I'm sure they would be awarded a prize of some kind.
Sometimes it's because they woke up and felt like it. You don't immediately stop having having feelings about issues like you or me as soon as you're in the AG office.

If that's just too wild to consider, it probably also looks good come next election.
Those polygraphs though. :\
Wow, the state of the art in 3D rendering has changed dramatically. The state of the art in open source 3D rendering has changed even more dramatically.

Compare these screenshots from 2013 (although I think POV-Ray was looking pretty dated by then) to renders that come out of Blender's Cycle renderer now.

The big change is that everyone has moved to "physically based rendering" that do path-tracing for propagating light through a scene. Old-school raytracing cannot know how light indirectly bounces off a wall, for example, leading to artificial-looking shadows and flat lighting.

Anyways, anyone interested in making neat little 3D scenes like in this GitHub should try out Blender - it's shockingly easy to make realistic renders compared to several years ago.

Edit: Blender's Cycles rendering engine seems to have been included with Blender since 2011. POV-Ray probably represents 2000s-era tech, although I think it can do more than what's demonstrated in this post.

> This Cantillon effects [...] is not accurate in modern financial markets

> The FED intervenes by buying financial assets which directly benefits people who hold these financial assets [...] Poor people without savings (and without financial assets) don't benefit

Would you mind expounding on this a little bit? From my perspective, you seem to be decrying the Cantillon effect in one sentence yet acknowledging its existence in the next.

Edit: To explain my confusion a bit more: In my (albeit limited) understanding, the Cantillon effect claims that monetary injections will spread unevenly across the economy. So, I read your comment as: "The claim that monetary injections will spread unevenly across the economy is not accurate. The reality is much simpler. The FED just injects money in a way that it spreads unevenly across the economy."

As a typical client, when using the Lightning network you open a channel with a peer, which requires an on-chain (slow) transaction and locks up funds. If you don't wish to do this with every single person you want to transact with, then you select a peer who is a major node (exchange, payment processor, etc.) who already has channels with the other major nodes. This will allow you to quickly route payments to anyone affiliated with the large network.

This is why it is like an ISP layer-2 solution. IP packets route through the internet in a similar way.
One of the best books I ever read in school was "To Kill a Mockingbird." It's filled with racism, n-words, cursing, violence, etc. However, the overall message is extremely positive. It teaches you that just because others are hateful and violent, that doesn't mean you should be too.

Tone is very tribalistic and low level. "If it's not Bitcoin it's not crypto". Irrational dismissiveness of innovation because their investment is at risk from competition.

Like the saying goes "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." Similar dynamic here.

Boeing, GM, and Disney are more representative of the other 95+% of the S&P 500. There are 495 companies outside of the "FAANG" stocks and most of them are hurting and small businesses and a lot of individuals are doing even worse. You talk about putting things into context even as you are using a laser focus to highlight one the few companies that is doing well.
I think for most people this will go towards having a professional fix their bike. Even simple repairs/maintenance is too much for most people and they'd rather pay someone to take care of it.
It was announced by the environment minister:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-france...
FAANG pedigree is not really applicable to remote work though. These companies scaled impressive engineering orgs for building the modern internet, but they are also now megacorps with all the same process and communication overhead, just a different flavor from the previous generation. I have no doubt that companies that are dedicated to the remote work can build a successful culture, and covid and the upcoming recession/depression will gave them a huge leg up.

100%, when I started building Lumen, I spent an enormous amount of time working out how various parts of the BEAM runtime were implemented, and it was (and still is sometimes) a grind. That macro-heavy C code is just such a bear to read. I understand why it was written that way, but working with it is just unpleasant.

Having Enigma, and other implementations like it, provides a huge value in terms of understanding how it all fits together - understanding the Enigma implementation and then going and trying to make sense of the BEAM would probably be a way better path than trying to dive into the BEAM straight away.
