That's a dreadful reason to invest.

There's literally a universe of things you could be investing in, from literal tulip bulbs to shovels to Apple. You should have some thesis before you throw money at things.
>girl he was fully aware was 13 year old.

You are mixing up fiction and fact. She wasn't 13, at best she was (poorly) trying to pose as a 13yo.

>He repeatedly asked her age, she repeatedly made it quite clear she was 13 years old

He correctly assumed her age despite her lying about it:
“why did you post an ad in craigslist if your 13? You mean 23?”

Keep in mind she was on a adult website, actively searching for sex and send a photo of her as an adult.

>he proceeded to try to meet up with the underage girl with for the explicit intent of having sex with her.

Neither the girl on the photo nor the girl receiving him was underage, nor she look underage.

Hi everyone! Sarkis here, the creator of the project.

Thanks a lot for sharing it along with your kind words and constructive feedback. Happy to answer any questions you have. I'm a product designer specializing in software prototypes and MVPs. I'm on a mission to unlock and share the full potential of nocode tools.

Unfortunately, they are often viewed as primitive website builders. So I rebuilt Civilization VI's entire UI and UX to demonstrate how far you can push nocode today. This is the largest cloneable Webflow project ever released featuring 12,400 elements, 1800 styles, 1200 assets, and 400 interactions. The interface can easily be hooked up to a backend to incorporate functionality. This is not a playable game but a demonstration of how far we can push nocode. It took roughly two weeks during my spare time.
‎
This prototype is a loving tribute to Sid Meier and one of my favorite games of all time. I've integrated all 46 leaders along with their soundtracks and nearly every feature in the game. The project stands at a whooping 124GB and runs on one single screen. So yes, you may notice lags from time to time depending on what machine you're using.
‎
The next time someone tries to dismiss nocode or asks you what's possible, just ping them this link.

But the decline in global fertility rates is driven by improving women’s education, access to contraception, improving infant healthcare, and economic opportunity for the developing world - all things which population campaigners have been pushing for decades.

To declare it solved feels like saying we don’t need the Clean Air Act because the air is now clean, when it’s the Clean Air Act which is responsible for that!

Yes, there are encouraging signs that the world population is going to level out, but let’s not take our foot off the gas on all the measures that got us here just yet?
Big Tech Embraces New Cold War Nationalism
> I don't think so. It's more akin to not posting a sign saying "our landlord charges us $5,000/month in rent" in a brick-and-mortar shop.

Do you think the landlord should be allowed to make them remove the sign?

If it's accurate, what's the harm in the public knowing about it? If it's a two square meters stand in a food court, the public might find the landlord to be insane. If it's a five thousand square meter super market, I'm sure the public will find that appropriate.

Keeping the Apple tax secret suggests that Apple believes the public wouldn't find them appropriate, either because "the public doesn't understand" (easy to fix by writing a blog post) or because they aren't appropriate (given Apple's profit margins, I lean towards this).
Why “no code operations” will be the next big job in tech
Nobody is worth this kind of money, nobody can produce this much wealth, and nobody should control an amount of wealth larger than the gdp of at least 120 countries.
> To their credit Tesla has a standing invitation to share their supercharger network with other manufacturers

Why does there need to be an invitation? Tesla can open their network to all EVs right now, just like all the other charging networks have.

Tesla says their mission is to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport. If that's true, then why isn't their network open to all EVs?
I can't help but imagine wormholes or FTL tech being first invented and used for longer distance interconnects in supercomputers. :-)
The app store guidelines are a complete joke.

Apple can change the guidelines at any time. They make up 'rules' to their own benefit. And selectively enforce existing ones so major players get a free pass.

Developers have no recourse, other than leaving the platform.
Been seeing a lot of FB adverts on RM 2.0 did a second take when I saw it at the top of HN! Feels like and advert but its not I guess yet the product is not live so a lot of speculation on how good or not it might be. Just strange to see this on top of HN.
Ah, agreed. That's a case where it does well, not the only case.
You make very good points. Additionally, I believe banks, even though they get 'free money' from the Fed, have seriously constricted lending. Most people, even if they started feeling positive again, just can't get (another) loan. And America is so debt-based, if you can't get a loan to pay off a previous loan, you're fucked.
Complete UI and UX, which can be hooked up to a backend.
I'm highly skeptical of any store of value surviving 5000 years from now. If the apocalypse happens, you can't eat gold.
A 189 Year Old Limitation on Inductor Size Has Been Broken (2018)
The real issue with Bitcoin and the reason why it is different from other assets is that there is no actual source of value. A good way of thinking about this is trying to consider the values of various assets if the government was about the make it illegal to trade them.

A house for instance would still be valuable because you can live in it. Facebook stock would still be valuable because it represents ownership in a real company that generates profit.

Bitcoin however is useless if you can't trade it. There is literally no reason to own Bitcoin except to eventually sell it to someone else.
See you there :)

Autonomy Online: A Case for the IndieWeb
"She is a nobody": in my book she IS a nobody. Her achievement in life is eating well, working out, having a nice looking body, being genetically (or surgically) blessed with a good appearance and shows off her body parts for money. I do not want any harm to come to her (go to hell, drop dead, get sick, etc.) I wish her a long and healthy life.

The only "positive" thing in her towards contributing to a better humanity is the words of donating to charity (aka tax breaks).

Having sex in front of a camera is a profession, I get that, but she is still a nobody. A nobody with money. But still a nobody (in my book). I am not forcing anyone to have the same criteria of what I consider as "decent human being" that I have developed as my silly(?) standards.

Nothing negative for her, but definitely nothing positive for her either. Just a zero.
I believe it is not fair to only take into account consumer price inflation instead of asset price inflation. Asset price inflation in the US & Europe has been massive lately. BTC is obviously an asset and therefore the inflation that is relevant for the future valuation of an asset IMO is asset price inflation
I rebuilt the UI and UX, not the game itself. If I could do that, I would be working at Firaxis right now haha
Where do you get that $118b? The total worth of all bitcoin at the moment is $215B [0]

Agree with what you said. However, I believe drivers have a high indirect cost. In fact, in Europe truck drivers can drive only 8h/day maximum with mandated breaks every so often. This means that your truck has, at best, 1/3 efficiency unless you cram 2 or 3 drivers in the truck that can rotate.
This is really excellent. I was recently introduced to ApolloX filament and I'm looking forward to doing some parts for my engine bay.

This is a pretty horrible attitude to have, but to try to make something positive from this, which problems do you think Gates or someone in his position would be better suited to solving?
Thanks! That's why I built this. I hope it can inspire more people to become makers and appreciate the power of nocode tools.
Sorry, the article does not make one mention of stability. This is arguably the most important value of any money store, the peace of mind that what you have today will be worth the same tomorrow. The dollar is stable because it's instability means the very collapse of society and government.

>Bitcoin is not just a scarce commodity, it’s the only known commodity in the universe that has a deterministic and fixed supply. As a result, bitcoin is not subject to any of the potential positive supply shocks that gold (or any commodity for that matter) may face in the future.

This doesn't mean a thing and I would argue isn't true. 4th generation Toyota Supras are also a fixed supply, yet the value of these cars has fluctuated wildly and will continue to. There won't be a single new 4th gen Supra produced. I would argue vintage cars are the most similar asset to bitcoin. Since like cars, some bitcoin is continually lost and destroyed every day. Like bitcoin, cars are simply worth whatever someone is willing to pay. The market for cars is not logical, it is purely emotional. Yes, toyota supra prices will likely not collapse anytime soon, since they look cool and there are less and less examples every day. But anyone making an argument that bitcoin is an effective money store needs to consider all the things that can go wrong, and cannot argue that bitcoin is anything better than gambling. The market is not logical, since the market is simply people, and thats the first assumption that is wrong here.
> You are mixing up fiction and fact. She wasn't 13, at best she was (poorly) trying to pose as a 13yo.

The sex offender caught in the sting was trying to meet a 13 years old girl. That fact was even admitted by the sex offender before, during, and after the arrest.

> He correctly assumed her age despite her lying about it:

No, he tried to downplay the fact he was actively trying to have sex with an underage girl by claiming that, when he was caught trying to have sex with an underage girl, no officer from the police department that arrested him when he drove to the 13 year old girl's address with the explicit purpose of having sex with her was really an underage girl.
Uhm... have you looked two rows down? :)

Not sure growth will continue at that pace, of course, but we've seen 50-100% annual growth the last couple of years (63% globally 2018).

So... in a few years, perhaps 3-5?
Asset price increase is not inflation, which is literally defined relative to CPI. If we're going to talk about economics we should use broadly accepted definitions yeah?

> BTC is obviously an asset...

Hold on now. Nobody seems to agree on that.
Most 20-somethings sound like immature teenagers in text to me.

Let's imagine all the facts were the same, but the police sent a picture of Nancy Pelosi instead. And when the poor schmuck showed up with a condom in his pocket, Nancy herself beckoned him in. Are you still going to convict him based on text proclaiming that she's 13?

Now, are you saying - without any reasonable doubt - that a 20yo can't tell the difference between a 13yo and a 24yo?

At the very least, if these sorts of stings are going to have any credibility, the police need to try harder.
Is the https://ziglearn.org site up to date with the latest versions of the language and standard library? The initial "Hello, World" example fails to compile for me. I get:

std.debug.print("Hello, {}!\n", .{"World"});
You could say the same thing about gold throughout much of history. The value of Bitcoin (and historically, gold) is in its stock-to-flow, its fungibility, its divisibility, and so forth. Its use case is mainly as a potential store-of-value, and perhaps even as a medium of exchange.
I'm glad is in the front page. I own the first version and I'm quite happy and use it massively. I use it to read and annotate papers and technical books. This is for me what keeps it from perfection:

- Bigger screen would be great for my use case

- Software. As have been said repeatedly here the tablet is open. This is true in the sense that in order to comply with the GPL3 it's very easy to SSH to the tablet which runs Linux. This is awesome. However I think a little more support to developers would be great in the form of documentation instead of reverse engineering. Lot's of people think of ways of improving the software and this would make it much easier and better for end users (for example better file transfer, more file formats... in a reliable way)

Edit: formatting
> 'English is not a string, but a symbol

'ENGLISH is not a symbol, it's actually a shorter notation for the list (QUOTE ENGLISH). But it evaluates to a symbol: ENGLISH
Much the same can be said about gold. There are some uses, but it's definitely not the reason gold has the value it has today.
Yes, they are clearly wrong? Modern Egyptians obviously share more links (ancestry, bloodline, culture, geography, etc.) with ancient Egyptians than you do. Whether they have more in common with modern Brits or their ancestors has nothing to do with anything.
Assuming I can compress the source code: Linux, Emacs, python.

Assuming I can't compress: the source code for gzip and then the gzipped archives of the software cited earlier :)
> WebRTC doesn’t incur data costs on the servers since the data is peer-to-peer

There are probably some operators that do pure p2p, but vast majority use some kind of bridge past certain number of users (& TURN might also be used for p2p). Usually this is to limit the amount of bandwidth participant needs.

Another alternatives are https://meet.jit.si & https://8x8.vc/. I cannot remember what was the current limit of participants in Jitsi (it was 75 back in June), but on 8x8.vc it's 100. In cases where you simply need a lot of viewers and limited number of participants there is also an option to livestream to Youtube.

(Disclaimer: I work at 8x8, but not directly on Meet or Jitsi)
Yes, the big difference is gold, once extracted, doesn't cost 0.5% of the entire world's electricity supply to perform 7 transactions per second, which also generate 98g of e-waste each. You can perform a practically unlimited number of transactions per second with gold.

Either way, both aren't particularly useful as currency because rigid deflationary currency is bad. Deflation creates inequality, and preserves inequality over time. Rigid currencies are unable to respond to shocks. They are also unable to adapt to the addition of new market participants (births).

Give me one good reason why your dollars that you earned in exchange for goods and services should be worth more tomorrow than they are today?

For a portable device like this I would be worried about leaving it in the car if it's PLA. You can easily see 70c inside a car on a hot sunny day.

That said, you can heat treat standard PLA to make it resistant to temperature.
Do you have a link to those results by independent researchers? I have also been very skeptical of GraphCore’s claims (and have talked about it on reddit) but haven’t had access or heard of anyone’s experience.
I would not agree, gold is material, and wnehenver in the world you go with a piece of gold you can easily sell it, you don't need computer , electricity and in the case of Armageddon if you survive you will still be able to buy food using gold afterwards.
Why do the readmes for physics engines rarely specify how they solve contact constraints? This is one of the most difficult parts of writing a physics engine. It might be less important if you're just interested in visuals and making it "look OK" in a videogame, but it has an impact on the dynamics, so especially if you're interested in robotics or accurate simulation of real-world physics, this is really important to specify.
Possibly. There are laws like COPPA that companies have to follow around storing the data of children under 13, and they may delete your account after learning your true age, rather than undertaking the efforts that the law requires, lest they risk getting into trouble.
> Yeah and the 60 year old man that cat fished him also repeatedly stated that he was an attractive 21 year old women

What's your point? Having sex with a 21 year old woman isn't a crime.

Perhaps you could have a point if he tried to meet a 21 year old woman that actually was an underage girl, but the convicted sex offender never mentioned anything similar to that.

> Come on cragislist is full of bullshit.

The underage girl he met online made it quite clear to him she was 13 years old. That fact popped up repeatedly during their chats. Intentionally ignoring the age of an underage girl just because you want to have sex with her isn't a valid legal defense.

A strange aspect of our written culture is the extent to which documents are imbued with a sense of permanence from which they cannot easily escape. Beowulf was told and retold for at least decades - more likely centuries - before someone decided to write it down. Now, retellings[0] of the story are called translations, judged by many for their accuracy and historicity.

Sashimi's been around for a long time. "Gravlax" would've been less alliterative.

I'm making a game in Godot and Rust, so I appreciate this physics engine. You can make Godot modules in Rust, so it could be an add-in (even in the Godot Asset library?) using a Godot Module.

I believe this applies to all currencies - they don't have intrinsic values. The values are derived from the market. Be it USD, BTC, EUR, or the Zimbabwean dollar. However, the purpose of currency exists as a vehicle for wealth transfer.

IMO the biggest problem with most cryptocurrencies is their deflationary nature. Limited supply means they behave more like assets than currency. As currency nobody would want to spend it as they gain value over time. As an asset it lacks intrinsic value, and therefore overall market cap will tank slowly.

Sounds like the optimal approach would be to run some kind of server on your own hardware, and update the /etc/hosts on the device to point at it.

Shouldn't be too hard to figure out what it's communicating over the network, then put together a server to match that and do useful things with it.

The type system description is exactly one paragraph with a lot of strong claims:

> Motoko has been designed to be intuitive to those familiar with Javascript and other popular languages, but offers modern features such as sound structural types, generics, variant types, and checked pattern matching.

(There are also some more paragraphs that broadly describe what a type system is, which is not a bad idea to have, but does not tell you anything about the actual type system). I did not find anything about the dynamic semantics of the language. Guys, when you design a programming language, the most important things are type system and dynamic semantics.

If you do not publish the gory details, it makes you look like amateurs. If you think you can easily hack a type system with all the features you like, you are wrong. If you think you can rule out undefined behavior without a very detailed understanding of both, you are wrong. And finally, if you think you need to reinvent this stuff to get your whole "computation in the internet" system going, you are wrong, too. You can just as easily extend an existing language like Rust, ML, Haskell, or Java to deliver the same benefits.

To be completely honest, this looks like you got a compiler-construction phd student in your team that told you what a type system looks like and now wants to do their own implementation. This is ok, but please tell them to publish a more detailed spec or you might end up with something utterly broken.
