@tptacek if this is an "and":

> premised on IANA handing over control of the DNS AND that hand over is to a premined cryptocurrency network so they can resell it?

Then not as far as I can tell.

If it's or, then yes. It looks like there is a 15% pre-mine: https://handshake.org/files/handshake.txt
This author is way behind the times. Bitcoin is obsolete. Nano (nano.org) is what the author should be looking at as the future of p2p digital currency. Nano transactions are feeless and take under 1 second, fully confirmed. If you send 1 Nano the recipient receives 1 Nano. There is no mining involved so it is green and it is decentralized. These features make microtransactions possible. You could use it to pay a fraction of a sent to stream a song or read an article. Or us it to log in to websites. Npass is doing both. https://npass.dev/npass Robocash is using Nano to prevent robocalls. https://www.myrobocash.com/

Smart contract coins like Ethereum will have tons of uses, especially for digital goods. You could easily cut escrow.com (and all escrow fees) out of the process of transferring domain names (and other digital goods) with smart contracts if a domain registrar got with the times.
The block chain is what? An array of objects? The real tech is deciding who gets to push to the array. So, it's just about permissions. How do you know who to trust in a crowd? Assuming the crowd is more trustworthy than a centralized authority. "Power corrupts", yadda yadda, centralized power is certainly corrupting, but so is dark money that can be used for drugs, human trafficking, etc.

I guess it depends which is the larger evil where you come from, the government or the criminals, whether to trust the central or the decentric authority.
That's exactly what sudo does.
You are conflating fiat currency and physical dollars. The total sum value of physical currency is much less than the total amount of dollars in existence. Most dollars exist only as entries in a ledger.
Not sayin they are not useful. They are. But they are bots. Not AI.
"Poll shows that 1,184 million choose to vote for new president Tikhanovskaya."

It is possible that Telegram is being impartial and providing more honest statistics wrt. what the citizens want. But it's also the case the results are unverifiable data broadcasted from Telegram's server over TLS-equivalent connection. MITM attack of client-server encryption, as well as compromise of the server broadcasting the results allow the attacker to alter the voting results. People acting on those results will allow Telegram to bypass democratic processes. Not saying Belarus is a democracy, but if this sets a precedent it will turn Telegram into a tool of political power, and power, as always, will corrupt. Even if Durov's team is being fair and honest (which I find unlikely considering Durov is yet another Russian oligarch who made their money spying on VKontakte users), they're also useful fools creating yet another architecture with centralized control over user data.
The line between small brown dwarfs and large planets is blurry. A brown dwarf twice the size of Jupiter and twelve times its mass could probably get inside our Oort cloud and have evaded detection.
This would reconcile with email but for one thing : In my social group nobody uses emails to communicate, because of the very problems you're trying to solve. Meaning I would need to get my friend on the service or else it won't be a very efficient tool to communicate.
It is although quite unclear that you act as an email provider and not an app that accesses your emails (Did I even get that right?).
It is also unclear if there's a price tag or how you intend to make money.
Unless you specifically need the 8GB RAM (where Rpi 4 is the only contender in this range as of right now AFAIK), IMO for server use-cases it'd be better to consider either Odroid C4 or Rock Pi 4 - both offer better storage interfaces than USB/microSD natively. Also easier to run vanilla Debian/Ubuntu (or Armbian, which is very close to vanilla but can be easily built custom for either board preconfigured with necessary kernel modules/dtbs/boot loader/drivers/firmware for each board).
MDN and web.dev play completely different roles for now. Also MDN doesn't factor in challenging Google for web standards and technologies, Firefox team might but MDN definitely doesn't

Personally, I'm sort of a purist so while I use Google's Android OS, I use the Lineage OS distro without gapps, which means I'm one of the few Android users without Google's keys (at least for the gapps).

And yeah, I'd have issues with installing pytorch too. I tried it once, but then gave up because I couldn't ensure it wouldn't mess up my system and I mainly wanted to try out some ML stuff on Github.
For a regular user to use Lightning, they would have to run an always-online instance of lnd--a very memory-intensive Go program that also requires a Bitcoin fullnode (300GB) or the experimental Neutrino light node either of which also has to be always-online. The average internet user has never typed a bash command so this is a pipe dream. Or you could have the alternative which is to push people onto centralized Lightning-like (but better, more polished) services run by the likes of JP Morgan. (It's my suspicion that focusing hype on Lightning instead of scaling Bitcoin Core was a way to sabotage it in favor of paid services of a certain company that most Bitcoin developers are employed by but I digress.) Micropayments in general is a bad idea which the market has rejected time and time again. If you really want to do something like that, just do it the same way all billing works, add it up and notify the user with an invoice at the end of the month or year. That could be integrated into browsers without being tied to a specific payment method or forcing payment. I don't even want to imagine how rich hackers would get if every web browser had a code path that transferred real money.
Detroit: Become Human.... another visually stunning game came from a tech demo called Project Kara on the PS3.
I was on this wiki page just yesterday! Shocked to see it here and with no associated commentary. Strange.

There is a famous story about an elefant (named Tuffi) riding in the Schwebebahn in the 50s for some sort of promotional stunt[1]. We'll the elefant got scared leading to this [2] awesome somewhat surreal picture. Supposedly (and surprisingly) the elefant was not injured.

Not in SV. Farthest thing from it. I'm an old timer on this site, and I'll never trust MS. They got their lunch eaten and pretend to be open source friendly. They are not.

Corsair has certainly come a long way from their sleek gamer aesthetic Dominator ram modules that first introduced me to the brand. Now just about every gaming peripheral and a lot of my system components (everything apart for CPU, GPU and motherboard) are from Corsair.

Unlike many other brands, their have managed to retain their quality over time. Kudos to them.
This is a classic example of how meeting corporate expectations of a software developer isn't the same thing as being a good software developer.

You aren't paid to make good software; you're being paid to make an ROI. That being said, I've heard that the two sometimes overlap.
They pretty much all do, I didn't claim otherwise. This is not the argument you're looking for :)

The Correspondent is such a huge disappointment.

I contributed to the start because they pitched themselves as 'unbreaking news', instead they're just another weak publication writing bad articles with catchy headlines (of which this is a good example).

open source: not exclusive to blockchain

permissionless: seems to be code for "lets you do things that are illegal"

programmable: not exclusive to blockchain

trustless: also attracts those that are untrustworthy (scammers, etc)

unstoppable: seems to also be code for "lets you do things that are illegal", and im sure the various people who are in prison and/or under investigation for their various blockchain related crimes would disagree with how "unstoppable" it really is

It's not, the dominant currency on darknet is still Bitcoin. Even Litecoin is more used than Monero. Criminals are stupid.

You're right, I don't have tangible evidence of specifically disallowing charging different amounts on different platforms.

It's possible I've conflated that with not being able to call out the charge difference (e.g. by using the words "Apple Tax" on the payment page), and not being able to link to other payment methods (e.g. on web), which massively devalue any benefit from charging more.

I agree that Epic are in it to line already rich pockets, and extra money wouldn't improve their service. There are lots of smaller developers where an extra ~42% revenue would make a huge difference, and charging more doesn't work as the customer is price sensitive.

Credit card companies.... already have those rules. No store can just offer a cheaper cash price. It’s in the agreements.
Because then you don't have to run an additional $35 Pi.
That site was hell on my back-button.
Your use of unnecessary pejoratives undermine any point you think you are making.
Take a look at cardano. They have implemented a blockchain that is backed by peer reviewed [1] research, the article here talks about how the blockchain takes a huge amount of resources to run. The people at the cardano project has managed to enable people to even run a full block producing node on something as small as a pi[2][3]. So far from all the blockchain projects I am interested in, this is my favorite one so far.

If you got a few hours of free time you should really check out this project out.[4]

Disclaimer I am a cardano(ada) holder and I actively take part in this project as a pool operator.

My hope is that some centimillionaires and maybe billionaires will convert all their cash to BTC when a wealth tax comes. That's one possible scenario for 100k or higher.
I don't understand why you would bother with this when you can pick up a second-hand Thinkpad for so cheap which brings a builtin UPS and far more performance, RAM, and IO options.
People have had a lot of negative things to say about fastai v1, claiming it is not very flexible and intuitive and only good for the certain Kaggle-type problems. I would recommend them to check out fastai v2 as a serious competitor to other PyTorch-based frameworks like PyTorch Lightning, Catalyst, Ignite, etc. It's very easy to work with default deep learning problems, but for more complex and unique problems, the mid-level/low-level API and callbacks make it quite painless to use fastai in your workflow. Plus there's tons of community support (forums.fast.ai + Discord), even for a package maintained by only a few people. Check it out!

"And nope, Signal doesn't make the cut for the above reasons because it exposes your phone number to everyone else"

This is being worked on.

The thing is you're mixing two threat models. One is a creepy dude who will give you nightly calls if they learn your phone number. The other is a state actor who will hack the server and track you based on your IP-address if no phone number is being used otherwise: hence the enumeration attacks won't matter. You can't escape state actors looking at your metadata with Wire, Element or Signal. For that you want an Onion Service based system like Briar, Cwtch, Ricochet, or TFC.

For the creepy people not having to hand out your phone number is a nicety, but it's not at all hard to block a phone number either, it works just like any other app's blacklist: just add the number and be done with it.
I live in the US and use Wago lever nuts.

Agree that they aren't common but they are easily purchased on Amazon and other sites. And electrical supply houses can usually get them too.
Wait. I might be reading your comment wrong or missing something, but my understanding from your comment is that you are just using email addresses as the identities of a group chat system, instead of actually using emails as the group chat?
I understand that amateurs love the Pi and other underpowered, junk hardware, but not everybody wants yet another science project in their life.
You might be interested in feed2maildir [1], which saves feeds in maildir format so you can use all your favorite mail clients and index with notmuch. That way, you aren't dependent on another centralized privacy-invasive proprietary SaaS walled garden being online and running without major changes.

I've been planning on transitioning from my current TUI RSS reader (Newsboat) to a maildir-based CLI with notmuch filters for a while; I might give it a shot next weekend and post some of my notmuch filters for RSS.

If you notice, the primary arguments against blockchain and crypto require holding it to a standard higher than any asset class in existence.

Its a mixture of “I don't respect this market and thats the only actual distinction” along with “I have no idea these criticisms are present in actual currencies as well as the stock market and commodities spot markets and credit market and derivatives market and collectibles market”

Eventually they move the goal post so far that they are giving actual relevant criticisms of blockchain technology, like scalability concerns

And then they get flipped into realizing they can actually contribute to the solution and spread awareness

And then in a few short years they have enough clout to raise capital in the space
For what it is worth, Apple _does_ have this arrangement with at least one other company. It is however a partnership deal with extremely specific terms:
- The app must be a video subscription app (which can also provide purchases and rentals)
- You must support iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS versions of the app
- You must integrate into the Apple TV app and into Siri search and playback APIs
- You must allow the user to subscribe through Apple, which will result in a 15% cut of the subscription fee (in this case, Apple gets 15% of the cost of Amazon Prime)
- Additional purchases made against an apple-backed subscription must be in-app purchases, of which Apple gets a 15% cut (so renting a recent movie or subscribing to Showtime would result in a 15% revenue cut)
- (AFAICT) Purchases/subscriptions/rentals against an account with existing billing information are not subject to any Apple revenue share
- (AFAICT) Account management such as configuring or troubleshooting payment options for externally subscribed accounts must be outside of the app.

I imagine Amazon suspects that they have enough people who have already purchased prime that the in-app purchase usage won't be a significant revenue drain - and I imagine that Apple has a contract with terms specifically to prevent Amazon "pulling an Epic" should it turn out that their assumption of subscription percentages be wrong.
When you realize end-to-end encryption is a necessary property of all features, you realize Telegram lacks even basic things like desktop clients, syncable chats, and group chats. Not so feature rich anymore ;)
Kafka benchmarked against pulsar and rabbitmq
Bitcoin has a large (100M+) user base (or at least it seems like it) but I can’t think of another blockchain app that has reached that level. Ethereum is more like a framework or platform as I understand it so I don’t think it counts in the same way.

Besides bitcoin are there any other blockchain apps that have large user bases?
People have a habit of looking through the wrong end of a telescope when it comes to anti-trust stuff. From a consumer perspective, as someone who already has a phone in-hand and a bunch of vendor lock-in going on, does Apple not have unilateral control over the software market that user has access to?

Saying "Android exists" is kind of like saying "you don't have to deal with Standard Oil or the railroads...you can just use coal instead and haul it by ship." Fat lot of good that does you when you have a bunch of oil-burning machinery you've invested in.
That makes sense, thank you!

My preferred solution to this kind of problem would be more akin to worker ownership or at very least worker involvement in steering decisions (board positions, etc). But I also despise forced arbitration. Absolutely abhorrent.
You clearly need to read up on a few books on the history of labor kid. Embarrassing comment.
There is a difference between hate and "don't trust". MS has a long history of abusing open source, why should they trust them now? Why is MS always squeezing privacy abusing telemetry in their products and leaving it opt out via sometimes very obscure methods.
It’s not racism to choose applicants for racial diversity or diversity period. Affirmative action necessarily discriminates against/disadvantages someone in an effort to give another an advantage. We as a society, mostly accept this compromise.

"It’s no more unsafe as using whatsapp or some other similar service."

There's perhaps a 1-2% chance WhatsApp has a backdoor that allows server to read all group conversations at will.

There's 100% chance Telegram's architecture allows server to read all group conversations at will.

You're 100% wrong with your security assessment between the two.
This is the rare actually funny comment on hn.
Yes, clearly the evidence demonstrates the election results are less than trustworthy.

But that’s not what I was taking issue with. Above, I was disputing the claim that a large sample size “guarantees correctness”

Likely, neither this Telegram poll nor the election are statistically sound in their results, for different reasons.

I am not saying that the Telegram poll has to be statistically sound to be valuable evidence.

> Roughly 7-8 years ago, the company I work with switched away from .NET (to Go) largely because our performance with IIS for HTTP traffic running .NET was...poor by comparison to other available options. I wrote a blog post[1] on the subject.

After reading this quote, and as a former .NET developer, I was really interested in the performance issues/story your blog would go in depth about. Instead, I found it strange, as I skimmed your blog, that I didn't see any specific scenario or perf numbers/bottlenecks discussed (seeing as you specifically state your company moved away from .NET due to IIS perf issues) - it was very generalized/hand-wavey. Do you happen to remember anything specific? Or were the reasons your company moved away from .NET literally the contents of the blog post?

It seemed to me that your frustration was more surrounding the MS bloated tooling &/or windows.

Some quotes from your blog:

"Once I used TFS on a small job and it was a monster--just like everything else from Redmond. It infected my project files and contaminated my source directories. Yuck. No thank you. Give me command line git any day...or perhaps SourceTree if you need a little love from a GUI."

You could definitely have used git back then.

"As a .NET developer, when you start a new project there are a few things you'll typically do (by hand, of course):

- Create a new solution
- Add it to Team Foundation Server
- Create a corresponding website entry in IIS
- Create a new SQL Server database
- Associate the Entity Framework with the solution (typically for projects created after 2010)
Start designing your database and your ActiveRecord entities."

You absolutely did not have to use EF or TFS, even back in 2014.

The post ends with:

"And that's why I left the .NET Framework because it kept reasserting itself and wanting to be more than it was: an implementation detail."

I mean… the fact that it’s in the news and notable enough that it was voted to the front page of HN suggests that it isn’t exactly “business as usual” in the US, either.

Your link suggests it took six years for the Metropolitan Police to admit wrongdoing. This camera was found last week. Let’s give it time to actually blow up to “scandal” proportions.
Are you arguing that price chases hash rate instead of hash rate chasing price?
Don’t do it! For (your own) source code or valuables, you need ECC memory and a capacitor on the power supply for your storage device which, by the way, should not be prone to corruption when the device is vibrated a little too hard causing electrical shorts in the SD-card or USB connectors! Backups aren’t the answer either, in fact backups can trigger RAM errors (especially with encryption and compression enabled) that may only ever be occurring during backups leading to..silently corrupted backups.
Between 2000 and 2005. "Comfortably" compiling ones "own" kernel got more difficult though, because of the sheer growth of options. But for that https://kernelnewbies.org/ exists.

Architecture, form factor, access to pins, scale, power.
This is not about the browsers, but about the content the server delivers. When you use one of those limited browsers today, you will encounter a lot of broken pages.

But if there would be place in the internet where every page would stick to the same limited feature set, the new browsers could focus on those features and there users would new a place where they would not encounter broken pages. In addition, users of the traditional browsers (probably the majority of users), would still be able to visit that place too.
