> there are only two options: default on the national debt(s) or devaluation

I disagree that these are the only two options. There are quite a few other options:

(1) Limit deficit spending and continue paying down the current debt

(2) Raise taxes to eliminate the deficit, and continue paying down the current debt

(3) Sell US government assets to pay down the current debt (land holdings, gold)

(4) A combination of the above policies
Don't Take This Personally: Sentiment Analysis for Identification of Subtweeting
The power is very reliable until I install a solar panel and feed to the grid. Every time a thunder storm I have to worried as it would happen. Got 2 ups in the house until they reroute the power arrangement in the house so isolate the solar with the household main (by doing something about the fuse sensitivity level). No thunderstorm for sometimes. Still awaiting.

Power is a funny thing for computer guys.
Chiming in to agree -- the original AirPods made a serious difference to how much I listened to things. I was skeptical before I tried them, but the subtle inconvenience of cables turned out to be a huge subconscious factor to me. The convenient case (and not having to deal with wrapping cables up to put them away in it...) also helped, of course.
I'm torn on this one.

On the one hand it means the web moves (or can move) closer to decentralized modes of operation. Bittorrent is tried and tested and Works (TM).

On the other hand, it also means yet one more thing that moves into the freaking browser. We have enough things nowadays that are shoehorned into HTML/JS when really they would have been more usable even if written in tcl/tk.

You win some, you lose some I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You can try to rationalize it in any way you want, however, that does not change the fact that engaging in an interest bearing transaction is parasitic and immoral.

> What other mechanism do you suggest for those?

Pay in installments with 0% interest, for a reasonable period of time, not like we see today that even for auto loans they're giving them out to people who can't afford them over insane periods of time. This is a symptom of a corrupt underlying cause.

The hyper capitalistic economy today is built on consumerism. Pushing people to buy things they don't need. Once we eliminate easy debt, consumerism will go down, prices will stabilize, and producers will be forced to give out 0% interest loans if they want to sell (or people can buy in cash).

For small businesses, they can get investors to pitch in money in exchange for ownership of a specific percentage of the business. This way, the risk is carried by all parties, and both parties expect to either gain or lose, unlike with usurious loans.

There's was also providers in the UK who's bad video compression made the picture so dark it was unwatchable.
Laziness to me is thinking "Eh this doesn't need tests" or "It might be possible to break it this way but I doubt anyone will try that"

What people seem to mean by it is the ability to stop and think "This task is repetitive and tedious, we are passing the threshold where writing an automatic solution is faster than manually completing the task" I'm not sure what word would really describe this though "Efficient" probably.
Yep - I don't mean to admonish the creator of this - it's great to surface this information so people are more informed of how they are monitored online. We all make mistakes, and the world has a lot of good people in it as well as bad ones :)

I also think that without actual regulation/oversight, sometimes the best way to deal with it is absurd overreach, it sometimes is the only thing that wakes people up.
This article doesn't make a claim about the future that you can prove wrong retrospectively. It could make a claim about how much impact Bitcoin will have by some specific moment in some measurable way, but it doesn't.

Krugman's prediction is funny because it more or less explains why it's wrong right in the text. Krugman thinks Metcalfe's Law isn't true. But it is! Metcalfe's Law is just the Network Effect, which has already proved itself twice before on a global scale, plus Bob Metcalfe's successful self-branding.

By 1998 when he wrote that, the Internet is already the Network. Its competitors (both other networks using protocols like X.25 and "Walled gardens" like MSN) are dying or have been cheerfully integrated into the Internet exactly as the Network Effect would predict.

Coiners should actually be flattered that people think there's a way for Bitcoin to remain as relevant as amateur radio. There really might not be.

They didn't just make no recommendation based on weak evidence. They recommended against wearing them [1].

I'm not sure what your last paragraph is supposed to say. Are you claiming there are lots of studies of mask wearing and the preponderance of evidence is that they don't help?

Sure, the implication remains however that fossil fuels will never again be as cheap to use as feedstock for plastic. That would add more pressure to better reuse/recycle plastics into secondary/tertiary/etc usage streams than the present where fossil fuels are "sort of" seen as abundant/cheap because their primary revenue stream has been so commercially viable up to this point.

I don't predict new plastics and "virgin" plastics will necessarily disappear, but certainly a change in costs of oil would predicate a reevaluation to the market's love affair with new plastics.

Sheesh, this is a big reason why I dislike Airpods. They've turned headphones/earbuds into a piece of disposable tech.

Apple wants to be normalize the purchase of a new pair of earbuds every year. It sounds like you're about to be on your 4th pair since 2017. Even just having to replace them twice seems excessive.

I'm on my second pair of corded over the ear headphones since 2008. My current ones still work, but one of the ear cushions is starting to fall apart. Instead of throwing all the electronics away, I can just get a new ear piece on eBay for $3

I "had a friend" with a Comcast (or maybe Cox) email address that was given to them when they started with their internet service, but didn't know about. They didn't use a VPN and downloaded thousands of movies and TV shows. Several years after signing up they logged into their account to update their auto-billing info, and it notified them that they had new emails at the email address they had no idea existed. They had literally thousands of these threatening sounding emails and called me in a panic, thinking they were going to have to pay several million dollars. But I calmed them down when told them that they had been getting these emails for several years and nothing else had happened.

Comcast had their personal information to include their home address, so they obviously could have snail-mailed them something or sent a process server if they were actually being sued, but they didn't. I figure that most individuals don't make enough money to make actual lawsuits worth it- what is the court going to do, garnish $10/month from someone flipping burgers?

Does anyone have suggestions for example python malware code for reading?

Fortunately, MSFT hasn't purged all of the cool RAT projects from GitHub but I'm curious if anyone here has suggestions.

I'm not a security researcher but I've always found the more nefarious uses of software clever and interesting.
I believe it was Comcast who was performing payload injection (possibly over https with cert fuckery) a few years ago to display warning overlays that you've been caught torrenting.

That was egregious.
I always heard that the '59s were prized for their PAFs [0] and the aged mahogany, but I've only ever heard one on a record and never played one myself. We've come a long way since 1959 in terms of neck dimensions/radii and modern CNCs can carve out pretty much any shape, rather reliably. Seems weird to prize since Gibson necks are horrible. But hey, guitarists are weird people.

An early CS professor I had used to always say "a good programmer is a lazy programmer", because there are already so many well written and tested tools available. This was long before the current days of JS dependency bloat, but his position came from a strong UNIX background and he wanted us to be thinking about tools at our fingertips like grep, sed, awk, etc. instead of reinventing those fantastic tools from scratch.
> It would have been trivial for Apple at that point to hire a team or two to shoehorn a so-so version of Flash onto their devices. (This seemed like an even bigger mistake on the iPad which had just launched). But he is clear and adamant. They are going to make calls they believe are best to shape great products.

I don't really think the Flash decision had anything to do with "better products," and simply ecosystem control. Apple had always wanted to keep a very tight control of any ecosystem they inhabited. From their decision to stick with PowerPC as long as they did, to their zoo of Apple-specific dongles, to the Apple Store and beyond. Steve Jobs was a genius in understanding that an ecosystem is orders of magnitudes more valuable if you, as an entity, control it. Valve is another company that did the same thing.

> It takes courage to look at a feature that lots of people “want” and make the call to exclude it.

This is a lot easier to do when you control the ecosystem. It's not like someone could migrate to using a Samsung-made iPad or something.

> In a moment of self-deprecation/levity he quips “We never saw ourselves as in a platform war with Microsoft and maybe that’s why we lost”. It’s a quick flash of him taking himself less-seriously and it’s disarming.

This is absolutely untrue, and Jobs is playing the crowd. Not only did Apple definitely see themselves in a platform war, they doubled-down on this with the iPhone. It was always about platforms. Jobs just happened to lose the first time, but he decidedly won the second.

> Jobs: We are about making better products, and what I love about the consumer market that I always hated about the enterprise market, is that: we come up with a product, we try to tell everybody about it and every person votes for themselves. They go yes or no, and if enough of them say yes, we get to come to work tomorrow. You know that’s how it works. It’s really simple.
Whereas with the enterprise market, it’s not so simple, the people that use the products don’t decide for themselves, the people that make those decisions sometimes are confused. We love just trying to make the best products in the world for ppl and having them tell us by how they vote with their wallets whether we’re on track or not.

Not sure exactly how forthright Jobs is here, but -- honest or not -- man, I just want to say this is an incredible answer and motivates me to get off my ass and go build something :)
I think it is laziness, but the appropriate kind. I am willing to work harder now, in order to be lazy later. I am so lazy, I do not ever want to manually test a function. Therefore, I write automated tests to enable my laziness. I am so lazy, I do not want to remember caveats on how a function works. Therefore, I do my best to make an interface be hard to use incorrectly.
Robinhood raises another $320M at an $8.6B valuation
Yes.

But increased immunity is only useful if it reduces transmission rates substantially, measurably.

And that requires a very high immunity rate.

It’s pointless to pursue an increase in immunity when the transmission rate only reduces by some negligible amount that’s in the noise.

In how many ways do I have to restate the same concept?

Does anyone know the prices that Arm charges for its licenses are set? They occupy such a strangely powerful position in the global chip landscape.

Similarly, how does TSMC set their prices? There don't seem to be any real alternatives for Apple or AMD to switch it, it seems like they could really squeeze them if they wanted to.
I know, that's what I meant, official webcams are rare to find, so it's nice to have some more coverage this way, unofficial of course.
This reply is little more than an invitation to begin yet another /r/fatpeoplehate thread. The article's conclusions are about slow walking pace, not obesity.

> Slow walkers had the highest risk of severe COVID19 regardless of obesity status. For example, compared to normal weight brisk walkers, the
odds of severe COVID-19 in obese brisk walkers was 1.39 (0.99, 1.98), whereas the odds in
normal weight slow walkers was 2.48 (1.56, 3.93).

We await Parent's elucidation of why slow walking pace is a moral failing for which people should be excoriated.

Almost nobody wants to do this. It's a vanishingly minor requirement. You end up with a 'Homer Car' forcing all these wacky features in.

I'd actively prefer a product that's simpler, without features like this.

Yes--see https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/082515/who-decides-... under "How the Fed Creates Money With QE":

"The Fed can indeed create money "out of thin air." To be more precise, it does so with keystrokes on a computer. This was illustrated with its QE program, also known as open market operations. That's when the Fed buys an asset from a financial institution and pays for it with money it simply creates."

> In theory you should be able to run all of Bitcoin on a bunch of raspi's

If suddenly the computing power available in the world was reduced to a bunch of raspi's, the Bitcoin network would be dead because it would take an inordinately long amount of time to reach the next difficulty adjustment. Only a hard fork could survive.

I've also been dealing with rattling and buzzing noises in my airpods pro. Usually (but not always) turning noise cancellation mode off fixes the issue, but that totally defeats the purpose of having the pro model. Not to mention they are nowhere near as comfortable in your ear as the base-model airpods. Definitely a disappointing purchase
Wow! I thought I had broken mine or something. My left one rattles constantly as I'm walking, unless I tiptoe.
The article mentions that Python malware comes with difficulties but in my experience it has the advantage to be an easy and simple way to write reliable malware. Packaging with PyInstaller to create a single (but large) executable is easy and helps avoiding detection as the interpreter is embedded in the PE (I never went in depth on this topic but it would be interesting to check out).

Shameless plug; I wrote a few popular articles on 0x00sec about Python malware on Windows just to show how simple and easy it is to build either using ctypes to call WinAPI functions or using pywin32 wrapper which makes the whole thing a lot faster.

See part 1 here https://0x00sec.org/t/malware-writing-python-malware-part-1/...

Definitely not the way to go if you have limited memory and need to write tiny shell code but it’s good enough for a stage 2 payload.
This seems to be a trend with apple products.

I'm kind of hoping it starts to rattle so I can more-easily get a replacement for it, honestly?

> In other languages the problem does not even exist to begin with

I am going to disagree here, because I've run into my share of memory issues in Python and C#/F#, and I'm sure by this point, everyone is well acquainted with Java's memory issues.

> It is not a trivial problem to solve (as you claim), otherwise we would have never needed the borrow checker to avoid memory bugs, nor higher level languages to speed up development by avoiding the problem altogether.

I'm not claiming that memory management is a trivial problem, I'm saying the borrow checker takes care of enough and the compiler/clippy hints when I do something wrong help me fix it easily enough. I write code slightly slower than I would in Python, but at the end, what I get from the Rust code is something that is more robust and more hardware efficient.

> If you are going to end up sprinkling clones, heap allocating and reference counting, then you could have used C#, Java or JS to begin with which are plenty fast with their JIT/VMs and not think about memory at all.

Rusts type system is enough to make me want to use it over dotnet, JS is a language with...some issues...that is fortunate enough to have a nice JIT, I consider it a serious choice for doing anything except web front-ends. I find C# needlessly convoluted and I dislike all the implicit mutability, but those complaints are very subjective.

The difference is that even if I have some clones and ref counts, they're rare, and the resulting binary is still outrageously fast, and has clear indicators of where to come back to and improve so as to not need the clone/reference counting/etc.

> Finally, comparing against Python is a very, very low bar for performance.

I compare against Python because that's the other language I do most of my work in.

My regular airpods, which are now three years old, are tanks. I use them now exclusively for running/exercising and they won't die. My new ones are better for the sound isolation/listening to music, but they rattle now and do migrate out of my ears when I talk too much, so the latter part of meetings is usually a little annoying with me needing to constantly re-adjust them.
You have a bug somewhere. Need to convert to lowercase for index and searches.

For instance:

- searching "houston" gives me a page full of results;

- searching "Houston" gives me zero results;

- searching "HOUSTON" give me zero results.

Also, just a recommendation - if you are going to do a "Show HN", then you should have a good writeup about the tech used somewhere. We a re a curious bunch, and love to not only see what others are doing, but learn a bit about it.

Finally, your results are fast, so that's a good start.
