I would say this its biggest advantage. It doesn't have to be a controversial or fraudulent transaction. Regular digital money ownership and exchange, especially across countries, is severely policed and most of the time impossible for a huge portion of the population, not because they're criminals, but because they happen to be living in or coming from a place where these freedoms are just not there. Cryptocurrencies take away these and numerous other problems that are caused by ordinary financial institutions and the way societies are structured.
Tangentially: Is heat threatment at all a thing in the US? With articles like this about landfills it never seems to be mentioned much while its the norm, i think even required by law (before dumping), here in europe.
My experience with Monets is drastically different IRL than digitally. Did not care for Monet until I saw the water lilies museum in France.
You can go cheaper, though.

Re sponge: the shell will open the output file for writing before invoking the command so in the example joey provides, /etc/passwd will be an empty file by the time sed opens it.

I'm assuming sponge buffers everything in memory so you don't get concurrent modification bugs.

Reads like GPT-3. Lots of words to say nothing.
And yet you didn’t provide a single example contradicting the articles thesis.

That is not zero risk, that is just aligning the risk with the rest of the company. Zero risk would be them working for FAANG. They would get their money and spend it however they like.

The idea that the stock is undervalued is ridiculous, if it really was it would mean you as the founder made a mistake raising money. Are you really suggesting your employees should pay more for the stock than your investors? Why?

Also realize that your employees are taking a bigger risk than the investors, as employees can only spend their salary once. There's only a 1/20 chance their stock will be worth anything, maybe even smaller. Investors invest in more than 20 companies so they have a smaller risk on their total portfolio.
I believe “it depends”. Sometimes you’ll be surprised how clueless even holders of PhDs can be; rather than grasping the scientific thought and methodology to a higher degree than most, they have mostly accumulated years of facts and perceived seniority (which in some countries counts for more than it should) — my personal experience in natural science.
E2E-encryption is really nice but not anymore necessary for most users of Telegram than for

- WhatsApp before they implemented it

- GMail (or any other mail service)

- Matrix (by default, until recently?)

- IRC

- SMS

- Letters in the mail

For some reason this has a tendency to boil down very quickly to

- E2E-encryptet === good, no further information needed

- anything else === bad, no further information needed

Which obviously isn't the whole truth:

It is far less likely give you trouble

- if you receive a stream of unencrypted postcards from Grandma on vacation

- than it is if you send and receive perfectly encrypted messages to/from a criminal mastermind over a channel that leaks metadata or by default backs up your data to any mainstream cloud provider.

The availability of metadata, who can access that metadata etc etc plays a role.

Telegram has significant problems, as far as I know both technically and also at higher levels, but for some reason someone always have to pull the E2E: Good, anything else: Bad.

That isn't useful.
Yes. "We discuss a recursive algorithm for the computation of multivariate intersection numbers and provide three different approaches for a direct decomposition of Feynman integrals" [1] pretty much says it all.

I'm surprised to see such a technical subject being covered in a popsci article. It's pretty much as far as you can get from the usual fare of big-picture speculation about the interpretation of QM etc. The very last sentence ("it may even foreshadow a new perspective on reality") almost seems like an afterthought, added at the last moment to appease the audience.

So if, hypothetically, TikTok were to infer political affiliation for its 60M users, and only show the "don't forget to vote" reminder to conservatives, would you be OK with that? Here's the scenario I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSTHgoaVtSw. They did admit that they'd prefer Biden, I'm just flipping it to show you what the problem is.

We're literally talking about a company which, by virtue of being a Chinese company with significant footprint in the US, has Chinese intelligence agents on staff and can _easily_ swing the elections in ways the alleged "Russian troll farms" couldn't even dream of. Is it wise to allow such a company to operate in the US?
Even having read all the material and played all the games, the show was pretty convoluted and confused me until near the end. The time jumps give little to no notice.
I am not super familiar with the particular example.

But if you consider it more like an easy to cluster database with free, tamper-proof backups, it makes a lot more sense.
I personally know many people who are now doing whatever little they can only because they got exposed to ongoing wildlife catastrophe through social media. Yes, they may not make a difference on a global scale considering them in isolation, but there are many more such people and the effects add up perhaps to make a minor but nevertheless significant difference in the long term.

Hiding the information away only helps the exploiters to win decisively.

Yeah the data is somewhat sensationalist, but still it is not false data and many people who would otherwise not bat an eye can sometimes be impacted into change by sensationalist or shocking presentation of data.

I think that we mostly agree, my rebuttal was for the original comment implying that the choice was either Uber or starving. The situation is much more complex.
There are two parties in a conversation. Both 'own' the conversation. Both have a 'veto' right.
> I like to imagine that hacker culture is still about judging ideas on their merit.

If by hacker culture you mean Stallmanist culture, sure. Stallman is the guy who thinks necrophilia has merit because of a wrong interpretation of the Constitution, and therefor, being anti-necrophilia is narrow minded.

He and his followers are true paragons of merit-based discourse.

Now... for the rest of us, some ideas are blatantly disdainful, you can skip explaining why they have no merit and go straight to telling someone to delete them.

I mean seriously, if your comment sounds like some sort of eugenics manifesto, just delete it, why do you deserve an explanation of why that's bad?

-

This whole comment chain reminds me of the new wave of anti-anti-racism where "racism is ok if you support it with well misconstrued factoids"...

The problem is, there's almost no overlap between ideas that are so blatantly racist they don't deserve a second thought, and ideas that are worth a second thought upon examination.

See: above comment's useless point, which was wrong anyways, or Stallman
I imagine the issue is maintaining consensus between the different phone companies. Without blockchain you'd have to have a canonical database run by a single entity, whereas you can use blockchain as the consensus mechanism among competing companies.
It's fixed now, thank you!
I also often use the elipses to show that I am still in the process of considering the implications of the point under discussion. I had not realized that the reader might find that distracting. Thanks for your thoughts!

I think, though, that some examples from the article (e.g. "Ok...") would be interpreted everywhere as distancing. I would and I am not American :)

I can read them fine on my iPad. Had to zoom in a bit but legible easily.
Most of the issues are around the UI/UX but these are being solved. I would take a look at metamask and other web wallets that make crypto really easy to use. Web3 websites that have wallet integration built in are actually easier to use than most online credit card forms. Think of it as a Amazon one-click but on every Web3 website.
Yes, if you try to sed a file back to itself for instance you'll get a truncated file (or maybe a no-op?). In fact, that's exactly the example sponge's manpage uses.
"Keep track of which number is managed by which operator" reduces to "store a small amount of information for each phone number".

In a traditional database setup, the "transactional method to update it" would be sending a request to a central server to update the database. The central server can be run by whatever regulatory body or industry association is responsible for number portability -- ideally, this would be the group with legal authority to overrule whatever the computer system says anyway. It wouldn't need to handle a large number of transactions per second because people don't change phone providers very often.

You could imagine doing it with a blockchain instead, but you could also imagine doing it using a Yahoo Groups email list -- that doesn't make it a necessary or good solution.
The high voltage sticker is ubiquitous. It's not representative of anything other than what it stands for: "high voltage".

Point 4 might be irrelevant to the cause and more importantly part of a negative (hard to track) feedback loop. A patch of forest destroyed by human activity might be more susceptible to stronger winds or extreme weather in general.
Yeah this is the point where you stare down into the rabbit hole.
Idk, that sounds exactly like something mobile gacha game garbage would do, while also draining the wallets of those more prone to gambling addiction.
We've been running a Raspberry pi 3 smb/print server for a few months now. It was also our wifi access point for a little while. We have it hooked into a 7-port USB 3.0 hub for removable storage.

Raspberry pi is also ideal as a command and control server for IP gadgets running hacked firmwares such as cameras and doorknobs and ACs and stuff. It is better to run cameras on on a separate wifi channel/PHY to save bandwidth, store to local server, rsync over to off-site backup once a day. All of this can be done with Pi, ethernet cable and a cheap usb wifi interface.
So if you found a security bug in some networks software you'd just make it public? zero validation? just Tweet it out publicly as soon as you found it?

But Telegramm has invested a lot, but received no money in return yet. So, I suppose the current plan is to get dominant and then .. ROI with who knows?

I also use it right now. Creating and managing groups is easy. You can edit messages!
It is fast and reliable.

But I surely would not use it if I would be scared of the government.
It’s because Dendrite is alpha and has had zero optimisation work yet - eg there is absolutely no caching yet.

(Dendrite is also not inherently multiprocess - you can run it either in monolith or polylith mode).
It says directly in the article what process it's on. There's even a picture if you don't want to read words
> We worship efficiency. Use less to get more. Same-day delivery. Multitask; text on one device while emailing on a second, and perhaps conversing on a third. Efficiency is seen as good. Inefficiency as wasteful.

Is this a US thing? I've lived in three different European countries and nobody thinks this way. Efficiency and productivity are things I mostly just read about on HN.

std::pair is the node of a binary tree, yeah man. Listen, it is okay to be wrong, just admit it and move on. Pressing on it makes you look like an idiot.

"oh look, a line segment!"

"It's not a line segment, it's a triangle/polygon node"

You can surely see how ridiculous this sounds, right?
I found some videos on youtube that give a more visual explanation of this:

It's a shame there's no central authority responsible for regulating telecom in India, or this would be a really easy problem to solve.
I don't mean that, I'm just pretty sure the person you are replying to meant that. As to the other stuff, no, even if your security services are collecting this sort of thing, by design or not, it doesn't mean it's in your daily briefing, let alone available to your campaign. If it was, Nixon wouldn't have needed to hire a bunch of incompetent cosplayers to be 'Plumbers'.
The single biggest difference is that Matrix is effectively a realtime decentralised conversation store (like NNTP or a decentralised form of IMAP), where conversation history is replicated equally over all the servers participating in a room - a bit like Git. Each partcipating server owns the conversation equally; none is a single point of control.

XMPP is a message passing protocol at its core, more like SMTP. MUCs have a single logical focal point of control.
A lot of the things that unions do when they "bargain collectively" are things that, in fact, large corporations aren't allowed to do. For example, SAG-AFTRA use the fact that big-name actors are members as leverage in order to force productions to employ only SAG-AFTRA members, who in turn have to agree not to work for non-union productions in order to get work. This is a lot like something that for example Intel got done for in multiple countries - using their control over the supply of laptop processors to strong-arm companies into buying their desktop and workstation chips from Intel too - except with even more restraint on trade, but it's legal because they're a union.

Other typical union goals include ensuring that every single hotel, conference center, etc in major cities make use only of their members' services at their fixed prices and ban exhibitors from doing any of those things themselves. If a company or group of companies did this, they'd be in huge legal hot water, but for unions it's fine.

They could probably sue Apple, too. When someone buys something on the App Store, the store makes a copy and distributes a copy to the purchaser. If that copy is infringing, then the entity that makes and distributes the copy (i.e., Apple) should be liable.

That they received their initial copy from someone else (i.e., Automatic) who told them that they had the rights to make and authorize making and distribution of copies wouldn't protect Apple from suit. It would just mean that in turn Apple would be able to sue Automatic to make them pay any damages and costs Apple incurs over the matter.
What?! We never blamed jzk for that. Impressive FUD though :/
I can read them as long as I zoom in the exact right amount. Too far and it becomes a blocky mess, too little and its too small, but theres a goldilocks point where it's readable.

It also seems likely that the jpeg2000 versions are the original, so they may be slightly better, but haven't been able to open one of those yet.
I must be the odd one out heree. Lot of people saying good things about their hardware. I've had problems with two of their keyboards, two of their mice, and 2 of their headsets.

With React you can always use a very simple global store, and re-render the whole React tree when changing data in the store, or something more fine-grained like this hook https://gist.github.com/caub/1ab1190ae9e309318905be734364b65....

I enjoyed the article. I found thesw parts particularly interesting.

"We are officially AB: After Bandwidth. And for the entire history of NYC (and the world) until now, we were BB: Before Bandwidth. Remote learning, remote meetings, remote offices, remote performance, remote everything."

"Another friend of mine works at a major investment bank as a managing director. Before the pandemic he was at the office every day, sometimes working from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Now he lives in Phoenix, Arizona. “As of June,” he told me, “I had never even been to Phoenix.” And then he moved there. He does all his meetings on Zoom."

The housing market here in Phoenix and similar cities is going to getting a little crazy.

It seems you misunderstood GP. Their point is that machines have higher tolerances and won't just die of too many g. Unlike weight, this is not obviously irrelevant.
Valiant effort! Could you potentially post this on https://scistarter.org/?
A year ago I might have upvoted the post but after reading like 60% of it it felt very biased and I couldn't finish it. Disclaimer I'm also biased. A few things that I was missing: no mention of smart contracts(?), no mention of inflation and countries/banks that you can't trust your money and transactions doesn't have to take 7minutes-7days. For example in my experience a transaction on the Tron network goes quicker than a debit card transaction. But a valid reason was the massive energy consumption and I hope we will solve that with e.g. fusion energy.
Ask HN: How to do cross platform GUI?
In essentially every discussion about desktop applications there are a lot of comments about how not to build desktop apps, but very little sharing of resources showing how to do it right.

I’ve seen people defend electron, talk about core logic in a cross platform language and native gui code and any number of other options.

As a middle of the road developer I think it’s difficult to find any consensus (besides electron being both simple and hated).

What resources are there for building quality, functional cross platform desktop application?

These days Synapse is out of beta and quite performant and stable, fwiw. Certainly in the past it could be a pita though.
Protocol Labs seems to be one which is actually trying to solve a problem rather than just being a tool to buy or use cryptocurrency. Your description is probably apt for the rest.

This repo appears to use Lochnair's old builds, which are unmaintained/deprecated and replaced with the official ones linked to by GP.
Huh? Don't most ARM SoCs have multiple cores, where threads can be scheduled - effectively simultaneous multithreading?
Ah. I used pinch to zoom on my mobile - it didn't have the magnifying glass icons. That works, thanks.
Please, Synapse isn’t production ready, at all. See this issue for example: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3364, reported back in 2018, labelled highest priority since then and still not fixed. This is indeed a huge problem, because if you don’t have shit tons of money to put in your database server’s storage you’ll quickly get stuck. Some workarounds mentioned are non-safe hacks and shouldn’t be necessary for a production ready messaging server.

The DeFi thing has finally pushed me to look at crypto again, which turned me on to metamask (via Brave), and after experiencing the UX, it's glaringly obvious that this is the next big thing. Nobody even talks about it, but the fact that I can "sign in" to my "brokerage account" simply by visiting dydx or unisawp and authenticating securely with my browser is pretty incredible.

People are claiming to be excited about DeFi because everyone loves unregulated derivatives and lending at insane APYs, but I think the real reason this has taken off is because the UX makes the future feel so real and achievable.

I'm just scratching at the surface now, but it's clear we've come a long way since bitcoin. I won't be shocked if it turns out bitcoin becomes seen as worthless old technology, but blockchains will never go away.
