I used Mongo just because I have more experience with it. is there any advantage of using relational db in this case?
No, he's not talking about the technical features of blockchain. He's talking about the general shadiness of a nontrivial number of actors in the cryptocurrency sector itself, which have had a propensity for deceptive marketing, and even outright fraud.

His concern is that if Haskell gets the reputation of being beholden to these interests it will make the Haskell ecosystem undesirable to legitimate actors.
As a brit, it seems like there are dozens of causes of US police brutality. Everyone has a favourite cause which fits their wider political/social point of view. Then they just talks about that one, ignoring all the others and their respective solutions.
Discarding the term merely for its presense is by argument equally lazy. I didn't provide only a word, but also provided qualifying source material.

What the other replies have failed to consider is that UBI is just injection of cash. It isn't a voucher for a specific class of goods, such as rent. It is just cash that can be used for absolutely anything. If that means burning cash on a $5000 handbag then so be it. Inflation is literaly the injection of cash into a market.

The problem with inflation is lost value. Cash is an abstraction of value to conduct an exchange. The real world worth of that abstraction is variable. When the availability of that abstraction increases disproportionately to a real world value it will be able to purchase less. The most common reason is that prices increase to follow the increased availibility of cash, but there are other reasons as well.

When everybody equally has uniformly increased purchasing power the natural counter-reaction is to reduce availability of goods and services. That can mean raising prices. It can also mean removing goods from market to make them more exclusive. Any means of restoring value to the prior state will happen to lower disruption to the transfer of goods.

Had you read the wikipedia article it would have addressed everything I just said.
>I'm also wondering: compared to what?

As I read it, compared to hard science and engineering for example.

>What would it mean for programming not to be a pop culture?

Less cults, less subjective opinions, less influence of marketing and marketeers and brand names, less "fans" and "fanboism" of some particular brand/product/methodology, etc, for one...
I said food distribution is better in decentralized systems than in command economies. You brought in china as a counterexample, probably because you are unaware that they haven't had a command economy in almost half a century
The US Military has already said that if needed, they will escort Trump out of the White House on the last day of his Presidency.

Where are you getting $10k? That’s what the property tax would be today without Prop 13.

I assume a land value tax would be many multiples of that for a highly desirable plot.

So granny has $900,000 in equity and is facing a $50,000/yr tax bill, so granny has 18 years to burn through it all.
A good lesson to all to fact-check what you read. Especially if your source of news is some random guy on Twitter.
90% of press releases were pro-climate action, only 10% were anti-climate action. That’s makes it less newsworthy if an org is pro climate action.

Let’s also talk about scale in the study- it looked at 1,794 press releases. Only 10% of those were anti climate action, and only 14% of those were cited, so we are talking about 25 press releases over 20 years, as opposed to 113 pro-climate press releases. That means that 81% of covered PRs are pro climate action instead of 90% of press releases- readers would still get the impression that an overwhelming majority of orgs are pro climate action.

I have other quibbles here (climate consensus has changed over the last 35 years), but I definitely didn’t come away agreeing that there is something fundamentally wrong with journalistic standards as the article and abstract imply.
More than 1000 upvotes on a piece of false information[1], on a website where people are well educated and informed

Many threads in HN reflect the tribalism that now permeates society. There are plenty of people on here that will upvote a comment or story simply because it paints Apple in a bad light. Same thing happens to Google, Oracle, and to a lesser extent these days, Microsoft.

It doesn't matter if a piece of information is true, it just has to align with someone's personal-conceived biases.

We have to disabuse ourselves of the notion that we are better than the people who get sucked in by political trolls on Facebook just because we work with computers.
I think there is more reason to be excited about the microphones it is reportedly carrying than the helicopter, if it works it would be the first time we would hear the sounds of the wind in Mars.
I think it's foolish to shoot down advantages in practicality and fluency of use on the basis of a decades long event for the vast vast majority of use cases. My company hasn't been around for decades and we don't use any particular spreadsheet outside of a select few for more than a couple months at a time. You'd lose all credibility arguing against G-suite on the basis of losing your data/getting your enterprise google account banned, because it would cost the business so much time and confusion relative to the ease of cloud solution.

I've already had disks fail, never had an issue with Google Docs being down, and if it happens I think it will have been worth it.
I don't quite get why people are still trying to rehabilitate McCarthy by the fact there were actual soviet spies. That he couldn't find the real ones with his witchhunt makes matters worse not better.

The only reason I can think of is a bit negative of "they not-so-secretly want another witchhunt akin to Holocaust deniers".
But we're a library so it's okay if we make unlimited copies and destroy a business model in the process.
I really like the idea of this but having the pricing based off of cloud spend makes me nervous. Stuff that is launched should be in the most cost efficient way possible but if the fee is based off cloud spend there is an agent principle problem around that.
>They should stop calling them unions and just call them "brotherhoods", which is more accurate.

Like "International Brotherhood of Teamsters", or "International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers", or "United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America" ?
I always liked the idea behind it and have tried to stick to it, but I think having only a single button to express a positive or negative reaction is a mistake (I only learned today that there is a way to flag comments but it's not part of the main UI for some reason).

I'd like to see a wider range of options that have different effects on a post/comment like specific agree/disagree buttons that don't have the effect of making the comment move up/down or be lighter/darker, maybe just shows a count for both agree and disagree, not a single number that moves up for agree and down for disagree like votes do. Flag-like reactions should require some type of write-up, single-click actions are too convenient for users in a rage.
The US Military has already publicly said they will escort Trump out of the White House if needed at the end of his term.
What was he correct about?
That would work, up until I actually try to re-zip the contents. Last I looked at the spec, it requires things to be done in a particular order (as @tyingq's link indicates) and although I've used pandoc to convert some other documents, coming up with the proper incantation to feed into it seems like more trouble than just doing it yourself.

More to the point, things like my Oral Defense required certain elements to be on a given page (e.g, p.1-2 were front matter and the text began on p.3) and I don't know if that kind of control is possible in pandoc.

With regard to validation, there used to be a web form at validator.idpf.org which let you upload a finished book and it would scan for errors, but that page seems to be gone.

I don't doubt that epubcheck works, it's just a shame that it requires a huge download to enable its functionality and one which doesn't really play well in macOS.

I'm perfectly ok with doing the creation and editing by hand, but come on, this is a UNIX system (!) and the absence of a better command line tool for validating output is imho inexcusable.

Having been homeless and having made some drastic choices to get to where I am now, what a tremendously offensive thing to say.

There absolutely are people who can't currently, or may never be able to, steer their life in a useful direction.

But most people? I'd say instead that most people are stuck in a poverty cycle because society is constructed that way.

When people are given enough money to be able to afford helpful choices, as opposed to scraping along at subsistence level, lots of people find their way to better, more stable, healthier, less stressed lives.

It's only a mindset when you don't have the means to climb out of it.

We all know how powerful capitalism is, but our culture still doesn't grasp its bounds. I think this is most true with knowledge systems: journalism, library-lending, education.

I'm not sure what the best system structure is for these areas, but I'm confident that in these cases, profit-seeking feedback mechanisms don't align with society's goals.

The goals (in my opinion) should be heightened knowledge integrity, increased accessibility, resilient persistence, and ease of applicability. So – with these goals in mind, what is the right system structure for library lending in the digital age? For journalism? For education?

I'm sincerely unsure and super curious.
Except for the fact that is not what they did at all, in no way. Copyright maximalists love to use that argument but it does not make it true.

The key point of their response was "physical copies of digitized books do not circulate" during the emergency the Public Libraries where close, thus legal physical copies where not circulating

IMO the publishers need to prove the Lending Library loaned more companies of each claimed work, than what was locked away in physical libraries that were closed. if they can do that (they cant) then they have a case, if not they should be tossed out of court
Thanks! So for your prototype you need a new hardware design? Or can the idea be validated in Qiskit/Q#?
Ok? And if you tried to vote for them, it would likely be detected and you would go to jail. Not an argument against mail voting. which is literally the same process as absentee voting.
It's pretty common for Michael to add the affiliation/organization of people involved, since the social aspects are as interesting as the technical ones.

For example, since Alyssa Rosenzweig writes full-length articles about her and others' work on Mesa drivers for Mali GPUs, she is mentioned in article titles or in main paragraphs, or Collabora is mentioned.

Michael also covers interesting hires and organizational changes, like Valve hiring another developer for RADV this week, Valve is prominent in the title because it is important social information.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, it's an interesting thought experiment.

Here's a video talking about what might happen. Basically, if there were no election, all that would be left is 2/3 of the Senate:

Increases in lifespan correlate fairly strongly with increases in healthspan. I think we should invest a lot more into something like SENS to further improve our healthspan. I also think that we should make medically assisted suicide easier.
I'd be okay with 1%. I really don't downvote much.
How do you know what's "pseudo" and not "pseudo" in economics? Given that it isn't a science. I'm genuinely curious.
A friend of mine has a parent with Alzheimers, and he swears the symptoms have improved via tumeric supplements.

He said apparently the prevalence of alzheimers is less in india, where tumeric is found in much of the food.

WFH with kids is great during normal non-pandemic times. Having the flexibility to spend a couple minutes at the bus stop makes my day less fragmented on the days when my wife is working.

On one hand, I think it's great that employers and employees are both seeing the benefits of being remote. Less time spent commuting, etc.

On the other hand, it's too bad it's happening to parents at the same time they are having to figure out how to both WFH and parent.

It's not always this crazy, trust me.
Some people seem to suggest that but I don’t.

Only calling out the problem with taking someone’s property tax and increasing it 5-10x.
Rust's adoption in the cryptocurrency sector is massive indeed. Parity Technologies and OpenEthereum is the most well known, but both Stellar Development Foundation and Zcash Foundation (both are among top 30 cryptocurrencies) are rewriting their main node implementation in Rust. I'd say at this point Rust has more adoption than both Haskell (Cardano) and OCaml (Tezos).
This can be genuinely useful.

If you use rebase flow on your development branch, then fork to history flow for stable release branches, this can give insight into what was or wasn't backported subsequently, as long as you try to keep atomic patches.

I believe a more accurate metaphor would be if the pizza shop was known for regularly stealing people’s money, or assaulting their patrons. In that case they would in fact not be a traditional pizza shop and there would be no confusion about you being anti pizza.

You’re the one using contortion here in my opinion.

That is not quite how it works. In fact, major science journals would review submissions and decide which ones are publishable.

Should anybody be able to publish anything, even if it is wrong or outright false, in the same platforms used to spread actual, verifiable, knowledge? I don't think so.
After about 14 years of considering Vim as my primary text editor and slowly attempting to forge a configuration that I was happy with, I recently resigned to the fact that I simply was never going to actually reach that point of having a configuration I'm happy with. I don't use Vim outside of the terminal; I spend most of my time in IntelliJ IDEA. I never found the Vim key bindings in IntelliJ IDEA close enough to the real thing to use, either.

So if I can't keep muscle memory of Vim keybindings, and I have never found a Vim configuration I've been happy with, why was I so stubbornly holding onto the idea that Vim was the right editor of choice for me? I don't know, but I finally changed my mind and looked for another editor. A dead simple one with sane defaults.

It came down to Nano vs Micro for me. Both are great. I ended up liking Micro a bit better, although I'm very glad to see that Nano development is still active.
Black hole with radius of 50km (escape velocity of speed of light at radius X is definition of Schwarzshild radius for nonrotating black hole) would have mass of 17 suns.

We are talking about small primordial black holes, in the vicinity of 10-50 times mass of Earth.

At 10 Earths, the radius is 8cm (!!!) and at 50 Earths it is still measly 44cm.
I can't downvote (yet!) but if I could it would be rare and would be for one of these two reasons:

1) Extremely rude, disrespectful, or hateful.

2) Pushes conspiracy theories as truthful. Like anti-vaxxers.

One of the reasons I value HN is to read opinions that are the opposite of mine. Sometimes they bring up points that I've never considered, other times they make me think more about my own positions. At the very least I might better understand the reasons for other opinions.

I would rather read a news story on HN with the opinions than just read it on a "regular" news site, even something reputable like NYTimes. I feel I learn more about the topic.
> I'm not familiar with Evergreen communication

I saw the words "evergreen communication" in a job posting this week, and they stuck with me. I've no idea if this is a common expression, but it seems to make sense to me. My interpretation of it is: words said during an in-person conversation tend to fade away into participants' imperfect memories as soon as they're said. Words that make up written communication (Slack, wiki, ...) tend to stick around, thus allowing others to who weren't directly around for the conversation to benefit from the knowledge later on.

"Asynchronous communication" likely refers to the same thing.
Whenever I try to correct falsehoods here, I get down-voted into oblivion. HN should take a good long look at itself.
I agree.

As it turns out, there is a decade-old issue. Apple has a stipulation in their contract that allows them to do it, but they don't actually do it. He misinterpreted some kind of interaction.
I think an even larger issue is that, I might know what OSS projects I make use of and will elect to support. But I might not have visibility into the OSS projects that _those_ projects themselves rely upon and really should be getting a cut.

So as I see it the proposed solution does remove friction to supporting a large number of projects, but doesn't solve the visibility issue very well as I expect most projects to be in that "used by something I use" category.

Calvin Coolidge first attracted national attention when he helped to break the Boston police strike in 1919. There are a fair number of unions that can't trace their history back to 1919.
In the US, there's no right to a business model. That's ridiculous. What's happened is certain bad actors have deliberately taken advantage of a weakness in the social contract to enrich themselves & lock down the ownership of our own culture. At best, we're dealing with moral turpitude, at worst with genuine sociopaths.

For example I typed "pumpkin", hit enter, the url is updated to https://www.kulinarian.com/recipes/?search=pumpkin and the spinner shows. But then it loads what is probably generic results (dunkaroo dip, salmon burgers..) . Then I hit enter again, and finally get relevant results loading.

Also, in think people need to realize we are in a time of transition. Power is really moving around much like after the printing press.

It takes awhile for people to learn new media literacy skills.

I feel like the only elephant in the room with Haskell is that Haskell people are obsessed with jumping in on any other FP language and trying to turn it into Haskell. Scala was/is awash with it, much to the detriment of the community.

The average person doesn't know or care what culture Jerry Yang grew up in or identifies with. He could associate himself with American hip-hop culture for all we know. So assuming Jerry Yang has the same culture as someone else because they're both racially Taiwanese is incorrect and there is nothing "really weird" about pointing that out.
Yes. It's been a long time since I've been to /., but I used to be pretty active on it. You'd get 5 moderation points at a time, you'd only get those if you had good karma and you wouldn't get them very often. You applied them to comments and marked the reason for the up or down vote.

They also did meta-moderation. You could choose to meta-moderate and you'd be shown a post (or posts) with their moderation and could select whether the moderation was appropriate or not. So a post like yours that got marked "off-topic" by someone (it's not, it's a fair and earnest question) would result in the moderator getting some kind of penalty in meta-moderation.

Another thing I liked was that if you participated in the discussion your moderation points disappeared. So if I moderated your comment (up or down) and then replied elsewhere, your comment lost or gained a point.
Maybe but most people dont do it.
I'm actually in the higher education world (on the periphery, as a software developer). It's more complicated than that.

Over the same time period that loans have become easily obtainable (via US government backing), massive amounts of regulation has also been imposed on colleges/universities.

While people love to talk about football stadiums, luxury dorms, and other amenities, one of the largest increases in the cost of running a college is administrators to keep up with regulatory demands.

I'm not claiming administrators are solely responsible, only that it's not as simple as "Uncle Sam gives students money and college spend every penny".

Additionally, public funding of colleges has dropped over the same time period. As of 2018, state funding of public colleges was down ~$7 billion since 2008. It was slashed during the down economy, but never brought back up again.
