yes, and watch that stuff. I'll give you that for the first few times you actually were working and thinking faster (i.e. it wasn't subjective), but that goes away after a few weeks, at which point you might find yourself addicted.

They may be good for a short term boost, but they do not provide any long-term gain.

But then what changed between 1900 and 1945? We had two world wars between those years and nothing but small localized wars never between major powers after?

Weapons. We developed weapons that could sanitize the planet, and in the case that someone might challenge our intention to actually use them, we developed weapons that ran the spectrum so that war against us would always seem a major losing proposition. The only thing left is insurgency and proxy wars, always carefully enough to not trigger major action.

Given that game becoming economically codependent and the world is the best play for the available game, and then indeed “peace is good for business”.

How to scope software projects when everything is something you’ve never done
In general, I find that there's way too much obsession with engagement/monetization/etc. Of course, it helps if you already have a well-paying job. Nonetheless, most people don't expect to monetize their hobbies but somehow, at least in the context of somewhere like HN, a lot of people seem to expect that any personal project has to be a side hustle.

As to other comments about "having something to say," I'd just observe that many of the earliest blogs and proto-blogs (think Jerry Pournelle's Chaos Manner column in Byte) were basically just journals. Not everything has to be great thought.

such low quality article trending on hacker news. Just pick some random number like 250 million out of thin air.
It's understandable that you're struggling to pursue either of those three subjects - they're too vague and abstract. What does crafting in mechanical engineering look like? In physics? In computer science? What is it specifically that you want to be able to craft? Whatever it is, it might even incorporate elements of one, two, or all three of the subjects you mentioned.

The first carpenters didn't say, "I'd like to become a master of carpentry", no, they probably said something more like "I want to build a workbench". Ok, how do you learn to build a workbench? By building workbenches. Then you build a cabinet. Then you build a house. You do this for years - now you're a master.

You want to make a house? Go apprentice with the carpenter. You want to make a wind farm? Go apprentice with the mechanical engineer. You want to make money in finance as a quant? Go apprentice with the physicist.
No need to overcomplicate it. These technologies can be overcome with a phone in your lap connected to a groupchat with everyone in the class, or even a piece of paper with your cheat sheet.
You should really go and spend some time learning about the current monetary and fiscal systems from places other than Bitcoin subreddits.

The claim that “Purchasing power cannot be printed, despite what MMT claims real wealth has to be produced using real resources” is trivially falsifiable. The M2 money supply is 15X what it was in the 1970s but inflation caused the value to drop to 1/7th. That means net new buying power was in fact created - doubled even. The reason is you have too simplistic an understanding of money. Velocity of money matters.

There’s actually a term for excess value created through the addition of new money into the supply which eludes me right now.

> Either way, canadians are paying those $2000 back.

You have way too simplistic a take on the current financial system. Money is a social construct.

> The inflation metrics do not represent real inflation and even the FED admitted it, nor do they capture the wealth inequality even if they did.

lol, inflation is defined in terms of a specific basket of goods and services. If they want to redefine the baskets that’s fine but there’s no such thing as real inflation and fake inflation any more than there’s real math and fake math. If you want, talking about quality of life, standard of living, all that — that’s a much more interesting topic and again 100% social policy not monetary.

> Such a well managed economy right?

Yep! Well managed money supply. Well managed economy, I’m not sure Id go that far but they are two different things.

> You, the one that claims having a printing press and growing gdp faster than inflation means governments will outrun debts. Don’t shill magic beans.

You’ve hopelessly entangled a temporary medium of exchange and a long-term store of value in your brain. This has confused your understanding of economics. Spend less time in Bitcoin subreddits.

Growing gdp faster than debt does allow you never to pay it off, this principal is one that extends from personal finance. If you have an interest only loan all you ever need to pay is the interest. If the growth in the loan interest remains lower than the growth in your income (or inflation) it’s not in your interest to pay back that loan. Doing so increases opportunity cost. You get that right?

I could pay off my whole mortgage today but I won’t. Because I can do more with that money, and expect a better return than mortgage interest minus inflation. So, I refinanced. Thanks to inflation and tax deductions, my real interest rate is almost 0%.
That's right; you'd have to pay Bezos substantially more to get that sandwich.
I aim for about 10 full-length blog posts per year, but I publish other things like book summaries and monthly retrospectives that are less polished.

I work with Samantha on about one article per year, and it takes her 1-2 hours to edit it. She offers different levels of rigor depending on what the client wants. I'm generally interested in high-level feedback and anti-patterns in my writing that she can warn me about.
I agree that the hyperinflation in VZ is a problem, but is that solved by Crypto? BTC's prices is highly volatile as well. In a bear market, there can be significant price slippage even while the recipient is waiting for a BTC transaction to confirm.
It depends.

* you can mine your own transaction if you have the ability

* you can use a layer 2 state channel network like lightening (bitcoin/litecoin) or raiden (ethereum) to exchange value without a miner.

* if you are worried about fees, there are networks like EOS which don't have have them.

* there is at least 1 ethereum wallet that will pay your fees for you.

* if you use monero, the miner can't distinguish your transaction from anyone else's, so there's little to worry about with regard to selective censorship.

* if a bitcoin/ethereum miner does censor you, it doesn't mean your transaction doesn't get processed because there are other miners.

Hope this info is helpful.
Anger can be real, but don't know if it is informed and rational. All I hear is that it is bad, but not able to find information how. Most of the protestors don't even know the details of what is being changed.

And, frankly, at this stage if you think somebody like Modi or Rahul Gandhi or Kejriwal is about helping their friends make quick buck, the story doesn't add up. In their position they would think and act for legacy and it becomes much more a capability issue instead of intent.

I think I agree with their logic more than I would have thought on my own.

I would be less productive at work if I were stressing out about a personal item that I would normally handle during "personal time". I've had fantastic employees have horrible weeks / months because they refused to take a few days off to deal with personal items.

As an employer, I would definitely say it is in my best long term interest to have an employee who is happy and doesn't have problems at home. If that means someone I'm paying 6 figures needs every Friday off for a few months then so be it. Or in this case, taking a nap whenever they need to, provided it's not a 4 hour nap everyday at 1 PM.
Timing side-channels are extremely hard to perform, especially if it is over the internet. But all of this does not matter because all modern protocols use algorithms that are safe from timing attacks.

If the master key was generated with a weak rng then the same would also be true for any ephemeral keys. That being said I doubt that any device capable of running signal is going to have a weak RNG.

Only the backup thing is possible but at this point the adversary can pretend to be you to your contacts anyway (and well, read your past messages). The easiest solution here is to not backup the signal directory.

My issue with these kind of questions is that they're hardly ever done in good faith, and they show over and over again whenever crypto is brought up on HN.

Crypto has its good uses, and I've relied on it for my livelihood before (and even wished it wasn't just used as a speculation vehicle) when traditional banking couldn't meet my needs, so it's a very Americentric/Eurocentric thing to assume it's only ever good to speculate on and buy drugs on the Dark Web.

That's it- that's its killer app, it's an alternative to existing money transfer and store of value mechanisms, anything else like "smart contracts" or reduced carbon footprints from better Proof-of-Stake implementations are a nice bonus and worth developing, of course.
Unlikely. Since OpenSSL has no support for it (by extension this includes Apache and Nginx) because it's not a standard yet, adoption is very low. Also Chromium and by extension Chrome has no support for it.

Firefox does support a draft, but since Firefox usage numbers are somewhat low depending on what statistic you believe, this amounts to not much.

Why care about "why" when there is "why not".
Sure, ECC and in particular registered memory does increase the latency a bit. But servers are designed for throughput and have multiple memory channels to better feed the large amount of cores involved, up to 64 cores for the new AMD epyc chips. The amazing thing is that the Apple M1 can fetch random cachelines almost as fast as a current AMD Epyc.
for a few years I was a human /etc/hosts gossip agent (among other things).

I would use accounts that people had just given me at places like Goddard, Arpa, Ames and copy their hosts file. I would sort and uniq them, and go through them by hand for sanity, and then update our machines.

I assume other people did the same.
No, this isn't inlining. They're managing their own call stack and relying on undefined behavior. See the quote from the article:

> BEAM/C generated a single C function for each Erlang module. Local calls within the module were made by explicitly pushing the return address to the Erlang stack followed by a goto to the label of the called function. (Strictly speaking, the calling function stores the return address to BEAM register and the called function pushes that register to the stack.)

> Calls to other modules were done similarly by using the GCC extension that makes it possible to take the address of a label and later jumping to it. Thus an external call was made by pushing the return address to the stack followed by a goto to the address of a label in another C function.

> Isn’t that undefined behavior?

> Yes, it is undefined behavior even in GCC.
If my local bicycle shop or running club decides they don't need a website because they've got a facebook page, some would see that as a loss to the open web.
The article is very passionate, and as a resident of the US, I don't have a lot of context here. Just wanted to dump out some of what I found when looking deeper into this.

Apparently 10 major unions have called for a strike for somewhere between 11-13 points of demands [1][2][3], though all sources seem to say "12 point charter of demands". Here are the 13, the first and the last are sometimes included and sometimes not:

0 (possibly just a preamble?): Urgent measures for containing price-rise through universalisation of public distribution system and banning speculative trade in commodity market

1 Containing unemployment through concrete measures for employment generation

2 Strict enforcement of all basic labour laws without any exception or exemption and stringent punitive measures for violation of labour laws.

3 Universal social security cover for all workers

4 Minimum wages of not less than Rs 15,000/- per month with provisions of indexation

5 Assured enhanced pension not less than Rs.3,000/- p.m. for the entire working population

6 Stoppage of disinvestment in Central/State PSUs

7 Stoppage of contractorisation in permanent perennial work and payment of same wage and benefits for contract workers as regular workers for same and similar work

8 Removal of all ceilings on payment and eligibility of bonus, provident fund; increase the quantum of gratuity.

9 Compulsory registration of trade unions within a period of 45 days from the date of submitting application; and immediate ratification of ILO Conventions C 87 and C 98

10 Stoppage of Pro Employer Labour Law Amendments

11 Stoppage of FDI in Railways, Insurance and Defence

12 (some documents omit this one) In addition to these the central trade unions are also demanding the withdrawal of the Land Acquisition amendment bill/ordinance.

It appears that there are 11 central unions [4], and all but one have called for a strike [5], at least as of January 2020, though it's unclear if that is still the situation.

>> the political incentives need to be fundamentally re-aligned.

Being the first president to announce the detection of an extraterrestrial intelligence would be a big deal. Clinton certainly jumped on the mic pretty fast when we thought life had been found on mars. Such possibilities could provide the political motivation to keep the next giant telescope funded.

You're not a strong liberal. You're a bigot.
I've found it helpful to wake up at the same (early) time everyday no matter what and then rely on my body to "tell me" when it's time for sleep. This keeps me lined up on a steady circadian rhythm. If it gets disrupted, that's OK, it snaps back in day or two as long as I stick to the same wake-up time.

It's much harder to do this with a prescribed "bed time" if you're not ready, it's really hard to sleep.

Could you elaborate on why you consider fusion as a dead end?
True. "Discover" is a very inappropriate term to use in this case, it's "first to document". And possibly not even that.

Furthermore, film crews don't get in unless there's somewhat of a path, so even more likely it was locally known.
I don’t know if you are being facetious, but there are other reasons Silicon Valley is unparalleled to (almost) any other region in the USA.

Weather. Creativity blooms when you don’t have little nitpicks stealing your time. Winter snow takes a huge toll on productivity. Not to mention the time suck of travel time, salted roads, leaking roofs, heating costs.

And I can tell you exactly how it works..because I farm, this is my religion. 8 months of three glorious seasons without a single drop of rain AND no drought. It’s a miracle. In the farming universe, this is heaven. This is why CA is the golden state.

While many do complain about the cost of living in California, it is high only because we subsidize a very fat chunk of people who can’t afford to live in the golden state. Our population is 40 million. (For comparison Canada is 20..NZ is 5, Sweden is 10, India is 1300 China is 1400)

A very small percentage of California takes care of almost most of the service sector and public sector and pensions and public school system through property taxes. It is the high cost of living here that ploughs money back into the economy to create capital and more businesses and more building and new roads.

A city prospers when it has economic churn. We did it for the region and to a less impressive extent, for the whole state. When everything is still and stable, there will be no economic prosperity. This is the basis for why capitalism works to rise millions out of poverty. Even in quasi non capitalistic economies.it is the difference between Russia and China.

Winter freezes all churn. We all know how much sunlight has an effect on humans and productivity. With both physical and mental activities. This is nothing to sneeze at..

Back to California, when the supported 99% has been encouraged to be spiteful and ungrateful to the golden goose of tech SV that was the 1%, the downside of this is going to be painful to watch. All the public school socialism taught by unionized teachers to weaponise entire generations is going to backfire.

The majority of the creme de la creme of SV were mostly educated OUTSIDE of California public education system. What does that tell us? I wish someone would do a study of that at UC. California SV benefitted from reverse brain drain. What does it say about our public school system? When kids are talking about privilege and colonization, that’s fine. I guess that’s an education too. But that is not going to pay the unfunded pension liabilities of their teachers’ Union.

California has been conspired against and murdered. This demise will be longer lasting than most.
Farmers have access to 24x7 free water and power supply (something I in the city don't get). They get access to free seeds, pesticides and unending loan waivers year after year. In exchange we get the worst air pollution in the world and these protests that harm the general populace more. So I ask you, what more do farmers want? Is asking for something in return for billions of dollars in tax too much?
