I has nothing to do with crypto tho. Whether a monetary instrument works and is adopted as a widespread medium of exchange depends on factors outside whether or not it's impossible to counterfeit or is deflationary or inflationary.

It's been 12 years of bitcoiners telling me any day now, it's going to overthrow the USD and Visa and Mastercard, and yet, no one's buying a Starbucks with BTC.

If you start out with your selling point as some kind of libertarian utopian currency free of regulation, you're going to miss the mark for the same reason that the internet, once seen as free of regulation, geography, and government (Remember, "The Cyberspace Declaration of Independence") is not only regulated now, but you have the public clamoring for more.

We have regulations because a majority of your neighbors want them. And if a majority of your neighbors want a regulated currency, they are not going to adopt yours if your selling point is no controls.
One would think that a benchmark described in reference to the performance of the virtual machines themselves, would be measuring the performance of pure bytecode (or a JITing thereof), not the performance of native code linked into the runtime.
Freezing the RH kernel is mostly to keep closed source kernel modules working. Some proprietary software has those, unfortunately.
Serial coms on Windows 10 with WSL1 TTY devices, Windows Terminal and minicom
As a user it’s annoying. On a PC in order to access every game you need to have Steam, the Epic store, the Microsoft store, all these stores... argh! You want game X? Only on Store A. Game Y? Only on Store B! What a pain for no reason! I just want one store that has everything in it. Why do we always have to have a dozen competing versions of everything?!

Same with Netflix, and Hulu, and Prime, and Disney, and HBOgo, and on and on and on. As a user it’s on my shoulders to navigate all this complexity. Yuck!

This whole “single AppStore” thing is only a big problem to developers. That’s why it gets so much attention and air time here because only developers whine about it and we are all developers. As an end user I just want one app distribution system to worry about.
Does this comment have anything to do with the question I was responding to?
Really personal opinion that one I feel. Last of us 2 is quite a different game with very different feel and gameplay.
Google Search absolutely charges its customers, who are advertisers. It charges them a lot of money to show their ads to the billions of users.
Seeing the debian.net domain name, I'm a bit saddened to be reminded that DotNet Core is open source, yet still not available on Debian without installing packages from external sources (like the deb packages MS provides):

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=779970

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=779969

Right now the official install instructions want you to trust Microsoft keys and I'm not really a fan of that. Further, it installs a custom package repo and in the past I've had very negative experiences with PPAs so I tend to avoid them.

There are a lot of problems. How do you decide which one is the most "immediate"? Should everyone work on that one problem until it's solved then move to the next?

>Most of the security flaws are tied to the OS itself.

Which was the point of my original comment, that phone OS's provide the illusion of being more secure, while being about as secure as any other platform.

From what I can tell, computers are about as secure as they've ever been, whatever the kind, which is, alright depending on the user. It's always been like that and still is.

App stores and sandboxes haven't changed that.
As the wikipedia article states, the WISE survey[1] results would have turned up Nemesis or anything like it, and did not. Currently most likely theory for the improbable distribution of objects beyond the Kuiper Cliff is Planet Nine.[2]

If this thing upset you, wait until you know that your app can be rejected for including an image of android phone unless it's to illustrate some sort of connectivity between the ios and android app.
json-schema is hideous compared to TS type definitions, though.
My PS4 pro has been a trusted companion through the pandemic.. I have cherished playing Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us 2
Yes.

This sounds pretty similar to the "askers vs guessers" cultural difference. If it's okay to receive a 'no', then you're free to ask whatever. If you're expected to know before you ask, then you can't ask until you know what the answer will be.

But, yes, it's valuable if someone is asking can clarify "here's what I tried..".
Or just make a web app instead.
I think the major distinction there is that no other union is composed of members who hold the legal monopoly on violence.
Responding to title only: of course, but the things it _is_ a solution for will be world changing.
It typically has to run setuid (or other priv escalation) because of the SOCK_RAW requirement. So, a memory safe implementation is actually meaningful.
Holy crap, this is insane. Just install PuTTY. Minicom is great if you’re on a Linux box but making all these gyrations to get a less capable terminal on Win10 isn’t worth it.

JVM clone edges out JVM. Fantastic.
You have provided no definition. "Unacceptable amount of market control" defines nothing at all. In fact, it only supports what I said. "Unacceptable" will be what the bureaucrat/politician has decided he wants to go after.

Perhaps you want to try again?
Ask HN: Which products can be used for controlling command level access in Linux
I was able to find some products like "CyberArk" which provides some of this functionality but wanted to know what all products are there which are used by the enterprises all over.
So do Go, C, and many others.
With 80%-90% losses -- Haber-Bosch is inefficient and so is combustion. I just have a hard time picturing that beating batteries. If it made a high value chemical maybe economically, but not on a purely energy basis, the efficiencies just can't add up.

Haber-Bosch requires compression to ~100bar or greater to see much of any conversion and has something like 15% yield per cycle. It is not pretty.

I find it impossible to imagine transitioning engines and fueling stations to ammonia before we get batteries light and reliable enough to meet the majority of people's needs. We put many power plants worth of petrochemicals into ammonia right now, replacing it would be great but it just doesn't seem like a low fruit to grab at.

I can't believe this article didn't get any traction. The fuck is the point of a direct listing if the employees can't immediately gain liquidity?
I watched the TV series first, and Witcher 3 has a much better and coherent story than the TV show even though the game picks up after the events of Witcher 1/2. I finished the game mostly for the stories.
You can, in fact, do it manually. T4r means letter T, digit 4, facing right. The directions are 't', 'r', 'b', 'l' (top, right, bottom left), which makes for a mnemonic you can follow with "right here in river city".)

Before you transcribe, just rotate the box so that the first letter in the alphabet appears in the top left, than read in English order (left to right, then top to bottom).

Debian Janitor: 60k Lintian Issues Automatically Fixed
> Unfortunately Nintendo is the only gaming company taking risks while Microsoft and Sony keep doubling down on graphics with the same controllers from 30 years ago.

Because they work and they're what people want. Xbox and Playstation both tried their own motion controls and they flopped, and thank god they did. Many of us like controllers and don't want people trying to innovate that away.
The camera picker is going to be removed from Android 11. When an intent for image/video capture is launched from another app, the pre-installed camera app will be opened regardless of what the default camera app is. The default camera app is still used for gestures (e.g. double-clicking the power button), and apps with built-in camera functionality are unaffected.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24205479

While this is a regression for user choice, it is still better than iOS/iPadOS, which always defaults to Apple's Camera app and never had a camera picker in the first place.
Ask HN: Which “Tech Business Model” makes the most sense to you?
Not limited to business models, please share opinions on unique ways of generating revenue, acquiring customers, etc.
> If a union is a cartel because its members bargain collectively, so is a corporation. If you want to keep corporations because of the organizational efficiencies that maximize productivity and welfare, then why not unions?

If a union wants the benefits of being a corporation, it should be a corporation. In other words, it should put its money where its mouth is and become a business, selling the service of organized labor in a competitive market. If unions really do know better how to organize labor, how to make sure workers are treated fairly, etc., etc., then they should prove it by making organized labor itself a profitable business.
Omg I want to play this so bad, I actually saw the trailer like a year ago and I can't stop thinking about it
It's not.

Why would one want that workload on their router when they can offload it to a $35 Pi?
Do you even know what point you’re trying to make? Because I don’t think this chart is saying what you’re trying to imply. All this chart shows is that there is a long tail of possible incomes to the right.

It doesn’t tell you how much that 5 percent is making in aggregate compared to the 95 percent. Put another way, you could stuff everyone on the right into a single >250k column and it wouldn’t be as tall as that 90th percentile column.

This chart doesn’t really say anything about wealth inequality (which is what “point” I think you were trying to make) and neither does the mode of the incomes.
There are precisely two legitimately useful applications of the blockchain data structure that have been invented:

1. Money
2. Zooko's Triangle

Your prior should be that anything else is some kind of delusion or scam.
>Chaff, flares, stealth and jamming are used because they actually work

Don’t modern missiles use optical target acquisition in the first place?

BTW, tanks have active automatic ballistic defense systems for a while now.
I see we have similar taste, might I recommend assasin's creed? Amazing graphics and the story mode is pretty phenomenal, kind of a greek mythology nerd so that's why I'm so drawn to it.
I believe they tried blaming this on the creator of the C++ port of their server software without any proof and it sort of left a bad impression with me.
Using a native regex extension lib is the norm for "scripting" languages so totally reasonable to benchmark like that. How do you define when it's OK to use a native extension and when it's cheating?
More that you should not communicate that your out-of-app purchasing is cheaper, either in-app or out-of-app.
When would it not be appropriate? Even calling something sui generis is an act of categorization (not that very many things are, esoecially natural things)

Sure category errors are a thing, but the error is not in the act of categorizing something at all. They are errors in using an inapropriate schemata.
I feel certain that they will be paying a lot annually for security after this.
Or ban crypto under current KYC and other anti-money laundering laws.
Your hot water heater can be set at a different temperature from mine if we have different personal preferences for how hot the water should be. In other words, nobody gets to declare by fiat what an "unacceptable" level of hot is and force everyone to set their hot water heaters accordingly.

The corresponding concept in "market control" is a free market, where nobody gets to declare by fiat what the threshold is for an "unacceptable" level of market control.

So your analogy leads us to the conclusion that antitrust laws should be abolished.
Don't you think security through obscurity is widely rejected nowadays? The biggest problem I find with Apple's model of privacy and security is that there's a single point of failure: Apple.

Can we add Graph Databases to the list of things that are kinda cool but with very limited applications too?
> relies on a level of broadcast which is pretty incompatible with a world where the network is hostile and looking to disrupt your traffic.

It would be prohibitively expensive and difficult to disrupt point-to-point radio (e.g. ham) and satellite communications enough to cripple Bitcoin.
Handicapping one language to the featureset of another is unreasonable. You'd also have to disable a host of JVM features (such as hotspot) for a "fair" comparison, which is ridiculous.

Calling C is unfair, though. JVM can do the same and it should be implemented the same way.
This feels like a strawman...I’m sure a seasoned team of GraphQL devs could getting something running faster then a team of veteran devs who are trying to use Drupal but have no experience.
It's the evolution of buzzwords. Back in the day people used buzzwords that were nonspecific enough you could apply them to almost any solution. Synergy, paradigm, leverage, etc. Today's buzzwords have very specific meanings but are flexible enough you can convince people they're the solution to any problem. Blockchain, AI, machine learning, etc.
What I think is a lot of this is put out there as an attempt sideline workable technologies to keep the fossil fuel party going. 'Clean coal' 'Carbon Capture' 'Next Generation Reactors' 'Hydrogen economy' all unworkable trash.
> But isn’t it strange that you won all those awards, even though you aren’t actually using the blockchain?

Kinda like all those AI startups that aren't actually using AI.
I agree with this position. Let workers decide for themselves how best to use their time.

Here's what I don't understand about uber/Lyft and finance people who invest in them:

- they are loss makers bleeding serious money.

- Fedex tried the independent contractor routed and was required to make them employees too.

Where is the business sense here?
I want users to have different privileges and they should be able to access only certain commands depending on the permission level.
We are using Telegram every day for a work and private life. This is the best messenger in the world.
I've not tipped a few times, usually in anger, and one shameful time when had less money than I thought I did. Still, this is just a few instances out of probably thousands. I'm certain that I am not saving money because of tipping.
I’m afraid I don’t see it that way. Technologies don’t improve exponentially for ever, they follow an S curve. The physical properties of the universe are fixed and finite. Eventually we will discover all the technologies that are practical, and we may not be all that far from doing so. Maybe only a few hundred years, and we may be quite far along the S curve of some of the best of them.
Americans thinking that this means anything outside of their bubble is still flabbergasting to me.
This article is badly mid-attributing why these systems are 'efficient' in the way they are.

The lessons in the '08 crisis were crystal clear - anyone who planned for difficult times and left a contingency lost out. Then look at 2020 - one of the first thing the US government did was bail out the financial system. Bailing out banks is almost a pavlovian response at this point.

That is why there is no robustness built in; because the capitalists have correctly identified that the they will not be allowed to go broke. Businesses are optimising based on an expected government response. What use is contingency planning when the contingency isn't allowed to eventuate? Excessively risky ventures are promoted in the good time and buffered in the bad.
We live in a world where more = better, no matter the situation. This seems like a lack of nuance. Quantity does not always lead to quality.

Personally, some of the best relationships I have with people are time-limited ones. Especially in our constantly-distracted age, where “time spent together with your family” is really “time spent watching screens together.” Better to have an hour of focused time with no distractions.
Telegram officially unblocked now in Russia.
An article about blockchain where the thesis is that it doesn't solve any problems and it doesn't even mention Ethereum? This article is extremely poorly researched (maybe on purpose) and reads like clickbait.
Thanks have a much more robust complement of armor compared to an aircraft. They defeat the mechanism of armor penetration in munitions before impacting the armor. They still take a significant beating after the munition is "defeated". Airplanes don't have armor in the same way a tank has. Even small arms fire can take out an aircraft, generally speaking.
Ctrl+F proof of stake. Author didn’t do much homework. Just retreading the same criticisms about energy consumption and this-could-just-be-a-postgres-db-hosted-on-cloud-megacorp.

Crypto is a bubble but it’s also a space solving difficult problems that will shape how the world transacts. It’s volatile because it’s difficult and hard to understand, but that doesn’t mean there’s no value.
Alioth was the name of a machine running FusionForge. Debian replaced it with "Salsa" that's running GitLab. The benchmarks game is hosted in this repository: https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame

But (without intending to spread unsubstantiated rumor) it seems like it's temporarily unmaintained at the moment:

- in the README.md there is some complaint about being difficult to reboot into a Linux dual-boot, maybe the measurements+website were being published manually

- CI yml seems incomplete

- Some very strange issues like https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/...
The 402 response code in HTTP might be a useful thing to "hook up" to Lightning, which itself is useful because of the Bitcoin blockchain.

Having fast micropayments payments running on data requests is useful for a wide variety of cloud applications, including but not limited to data transfer costs and queries to machine learning models, all without the need for "users" on the systems being accessed.

The way I'd put it is that the killer use case for Bitcoin is yet to come, which doesn't make it a solution for nothing, but more like a solution before its time.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/402
It does mention ethereum:

> So much energy that the two biggest blockchains in the world – bitcoin and Ethereum – are now using up the same amount of electricity as the whole of Austria.
SMS had a limit. There was probably a branch that was supposed to truncate and add ellipses, only they mistook more than for less than so it was always truncating and adding ellipsis.

Ps. I think you need to travel more.
Question: buy ps4 pro or wait for ps5 and be done for 4-5 years?
The blog post is being specific, but to be clear, there was zero effort here for me. I have WSL already. I apt install minicom, and I was done.

>and asked them what their income is, the most likely answer is the mode value, or in 2014 about $22,000. That's reality. That's why that is important.

FFS no. That’s not what the mode means. Mode does not imply that’s the majority probability, it’s just the single highest probability out of the possible outcomes.

Statistically speaking, if you asked random people what their income was, the majority would not have an income of $22k. Let that sink in. Your whole mental model of this is deeply flawed. “Mode” != “majority”.

Consider this distribution:

1,2,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16

What is the mode? Do you see why the mode is meaningless shit when discussing what the distribution looks like?
I think it's a matter of what kind of IM culture you grew up with. As a kid and young adult I used IRC and messengers that limited message size, so doing that was pretty common and everyone did it.

My younger co-workers who only seem to have known Slack and the likes find it really annoying.
This has no bearing on their audited cryptography.

What it means to be a developer is changing
This is a worrying development for my company. We have B2B products (that can be used from the web and mobile) that customers pay for per account, in bulk. I hope they don't start to apply the 30% cut there - our customers would find it impossible to pay 30% more for every user who uses an iPhone. We would have no choice but to stop having an iPhone app in that case.
A normal business would not get away with that as it is an unreasonable request. If apple were to do that then it would only be because of their market power. Hence they’d be (further and more clearly) demonstrating that they are in breach of anti trust laws. So yes, my guess is it would be clearly illegal.
Anyone have experience with Odoo?
You can call C with Java.
Thank you for being a voice of reason in all of this.
Ethereum developers have been working extremely hard to move to proof of stake to remove this massive power requirement. It's too bad that wasn't mentioned in the article.
Yeah, that's the only spot. Literally just an "and" next to Bitcoin when talking about electricity usage. No mention of what it does, what's currently being built, or the use cases people are using today. I guess that doesn't fit the author's narrative so they ignore it or maybe don't even know it exists. I don't know which is worse in this case.
That's where email/mailing lists shine.
The American system is equal opportunity not equal outcomes. The latter is the euro model. Both parts of the world often underperform the stated value/goal and we American's have some work to do here. Without throwing capitalism out it would not kill to restore the pendulum back to the middle. US corporations under the rubric of maximizing shareholder value + DC support for tax accounting + liberal accommodation for globalism has given the powerful too much of a structural bias. And def not talking solutions ala Trump here. In this way universal or basic income is a no go here.
The mobile device role is such a weird and mutated one. Closed systems like game consoles only run software the vendor approves and buyers go into it knowing it's a specialized device. Real computers can run any software the user wants and buyers fully expect their PCs to be as powerful and flexible as possible. Mobile devices occupy a weird middle ground where vendors try to give the impression they can do anything a PC can while simultaneously holding an iron grip around the entire software ecosystem.
