Let's assume tether is a scam (not backed by enough USD) and at some point would start to loses it peg to the USD. Wouldnt that increase the demand of BTC? Everyone holding tether would start buying BTC (or other coins) because this is the only thing you can do with tether.
> If you've sent an alert to the soldiers on the base, you've decided the warning is genuine,

Or you potentially decided that the threshold for warning the base is much lower. Because in the worst case, you've just had an unannounced missile drill that's good for response times anyways. If you're on a military base, having a few such alarms per year seems like reasonable training.

If you do this to civilians, by the second alarm of this sort they'll start figuring out how to make the alarms stop.

HN is hilarious. Even after 10 years, majority of people here are unable to grasp that bitcoin IS money. MS and MSTR are performing a speculative attack on a soft fiat currency (supply increased >20% in 2020) using the hardest money ever. This strategy will only become more popular over time as it continues to pay off.

Bitcoiners have understood this part of the game theory for a while (see: https://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/speculative-attack/).

Have fun staying poor.
Nice, that'll come handy
Hi! NumWorks founder here. Thanks so much for the kind words!
I'm seeing a ton of great comments here. I'm going to start logging them as issues on the repo, if you have additional concerns or suggestions please feel free to do so as well.
Well, it's a 'social science':

>the branch of science devoted to the study of societies and the relationships among individuals within those societies. (wikipedia)

Which coming from a physics background I think of as not a proper science but lots of people study that stuff and you can get some results out of it. I think people get in trouble with economics if they start thinking it's an exact science like physics rather than a guess at what a bunch of people will do.
Depending on if the sequence matters. If I take vaccines on a later date will give me a higher effectiveness rate, I will do so.

Not knowing anything about this, this could be a good guess. Folks likely jumping the gun blaming a MS vuln above, when the real breach was via SolarWinds and then they were able to spoof/takeover some Active Directory server inside the network or something such thus gaining access to MS 365 emails etc.
Eh, I'm not convinced. This might be nice for a static hierarchy of not too many office documents, but for the very heterogenous files I deal with, I'm happy with the first level of division being a "project". There are only ever a handful of projects I'm working on at a time, and different projects' files are usually suited to very different directory structures.

That said, the only documents I need to keep in long-term storage are invoices and contracts, which I can just put into two directories. If I ever get too many of such official documents, I might look into a structure like this.
Yes, that struck me as weird too, that someone would call it incorrect. I'm a native of the United States (the Midwest). I never gave the word a second thought. I was flummoxed by Strachey's remark and flummoxed again by this article's long investigation.
This is a US-vs-everyone-else terminology difference. In most of the world "state" refers to a sovereign entity, "nation" refers to an ethnic group, and "nation-state" is a state identified with an ethnic nation.

But all of that terminology solidified in the 19th century, so outside of academic political science the US uses "state" to refer to individual entities in a federation (e.g. translating German "Bundesland" as "state"), "nation" to refer to not-necessarily-ethnic bodies politick, and "nation-state" to specify "what we call a nation, what the Old World calls a state".

Which of course leads to a lot of confusion about the connotations of "EU member state", which in European discourse implies real sovereignty, but in US discourse implies a federalist Europe.
It also was the most promising and those lack of orders from Pfizer did not result in an increase somewhere else.

You are being deceptive in saying so.
I spent 3.5 years at Google, and, like most things at large companies, 20% is very team dependent. Mchurch may very well have had the experience of being on such a, crappy, team, not that his record is a good indication.

Which also shows the danger of escalation: If the other side is on high alert because there's an ongoing crisis, the risk of civilization-ending mistakes are much higher.
Thanks!

I'll stress: that sounds like a perfectly reasonable approach to try, and they figured out the problem very early on, with very little harm actually done.
Your post seems to imply that the reason 80mph isn't the limit is because of safety, but actually the governments main reasoning for not moving up to 80mph when this was last reviewed was actually about emissions rather than safety (last debated in 2011).
Thank you for clarifying. That said, I'm not sure I understand why a feed source needs to know if a viewer is accessing the content via Brave or Chrome.

Regarding feed metrics from Brave, what information would we give over? Brave doesn't know who is reading what; we've made Brave Today in such a way that uses and requests aren't handled by the same entity at the same time. The goal is to have no knowledge, while yielding a personalized experience.
Indeed, I would not recommend disabling q unless you know what it does and tried it a few times.

For a quick demo, try it on this file:

hello world!
here's wolves
what's up with the hackers?

Go to the first line and do:

1. qq starts a macro named 'q'
2. $vbgUj select last word on line, uppercase it, go down one line
3. q to end macro recording
4. @q run the macro
4b. @@ repeats the last macro
4c. 100@q runs the macro 100 times

When you want to do multi-line edits and the columns are not aligned (so block mode, Ctrl+V, doesn't work), this works wonders. You just record whatever you would do on every line plus whatever motions you use to go to the next occurrence, using things like "f|" (find the next pipe symbol) or "/example<Esc>n" (find the next instance of "example"), and then run the macro however many times. If you specify a number of times greater than the file is large, it will automatically stop at end of file, and you can also cancel if it takes too long (Ctrl+C) and undo what it did so far (u).

Alternatively, sed -i s/a/b/ my.txt is much much faster than macros, but macros can be more complex and are often easier to record (since you're just showing the computer what to do in a human way) than trying to regex the line.

I tried recording it for the lazy but asciinema is having issues (server error when uploading).
It would indeed be very hard.

It have not stopped government from continuing classifying documents, and media publisher could in theory be found guilty, but the bar is set very high,

The first test is also much harder that one might think. Open source intelligence tend to have a lot of information if one know what to look for. Similar, small news paper can often be early in publishing information before more mainstream publishers.
Why does everything have to be about pointing fingers and blame? The fact still stands: There wasn't a public alert. Your comment adds nothing more to the discussion than writing "RTFM!"

I think it's just called +clipboard. And with the setting "set

Of course, it is not going to stop being UNIX, except for the little detail that POSIX is mostly irrelevant for what is sold on Apple store for any kind of their devices.

This is the ecosystem that Apple and developers that buy into Apple ecosystem care about.

Those that were buying Macs to do GNU/Linux work were a welcomed addition in times of need, that is all.

I advise reading books like The Cult of Mac and Folklore.
I'm coming around to this idea now - originally I avoided having Datasette work with anything other than SQLite because maintaining a database abstraction layer is an enormous amount of work, but now that I have a couple of years experience with Datasette plugins I'm thinking it may be possible to delegate that complexity to plugins and still keep Datasette's core relative clean and straight-forward to maintain.

I'll absolutely let you know if this starts to come together. I'm planning to target PostgreSQL as the first plugin to help flesh out the integration points.
> It looks like they did that just because they can.

The thing is, people thought it was a good idea at the time, and had good reasons. It took maybe a decade before experience showed otherwise. Even today it takes a while to convince newer programmers that it is indeed a bad idea, and even then they don't really believe it.

An even more perniciously bad language feature is macros. I'm pretty sure that once I step down as D's BDFL or am forcibly removed D will get macros :-/
Hi! Indeed, we don’t ship to Australia just yet. But we do have some users there so I guess there has to be a way to purchase one of our calculators from there.

Well, technically we did send one calculator to Australia. It was a gift to Damien, MicroPython’s initial author!
Watch hackers break into the US power grid [video]
The calculators more or less have to have some kind of Python built-in to sell to high school students in some European countries, where some programming is in the curriculum and they more or less settled on Python. TI has several Python-enabled models for this reason. And NumWorks as well (a great calculator outside the old Casio-TI duopoly).

> If running a red light or stop sign is a $200 ticket in a car, it should be a $200 ticket on a bike.

Hard to justify when safety is the main argument. Yeah, $200 fine for cyclists would be a good deterrent, but maybe then it should be a $1000 or $2000 fine for a car doing the same thing [0].

If you want to argue that cyclists should face the same penalties as drivers, you have to make an argument prioritizing safety, but something like "respect for the law".

[0] Or - $200 plus points on your license. That's the way it works in many jurisdictions: the motorist rightly faces a bigger penalty even though the top-line dollar amount is the same.

> It’s so much easier to express yourself in good and convincing and clear ways [in English]

A friend of mine was translator into English and French, and she said that it was easier to translate into French, because there was basically one way to say it. In English, there'd be many different options (mostly vocabulary substitutions, but not only), with slightly different connotations.

A pertinent aphorism I've come across (anyone know the source?):

"English is among the easiest languages to speak badly, but one of the most difficult to speak well."
> The earnest falsehood can cause great damage, and the truth - even when spoken by someone of ill intent - is still important.

I didn't say that earnest falsehoods can't cause damage, I merely said that it's not a weapon. Someone who is weaponizing information to achieve their own ends definitely knows what they're doing. And obviously, speaking the truth, regardless of intent, is not a case of misinformation.

To draw an analogy: I'm not saying we should outlaw guns. I'm saying we should outlaw murder. The problem is not the spread of opinions the problem is the intentional use of insincerely held opinions to cause damage.

I support the right for everyone to make up their own mind, which is exactly why I oppose weaponized misinformation. I don't even know what it would mean to oppose the right for everyone to make up their own mind. Reminds of the caps from the Tripod Trilogy.

The power of those with great wealth to influence others should not be underestimated. We're not immune. If you want to live in a society where everyone makes up their own mind, don't let them join a cult.
How would you compare it with a TI Nspire or similar calculators. In other words why Numworks? What is special about it?

My use case is high school students, if you have any thoughts on that.
Funnily enough, to me "what else" sounds more like "what would you like to do in addition" as opposed to "what would you like to do otherwise".

Certainly in Australia, "anything else with that" is quite common in shops, particularly in food shops, or pubs. Or at least it used to be be when I was there.
For myself at least where I live, they tend to be targeted at older men and women trying to reconnect with religion when they're vulnerable around the midlife crisis age. Most "religious right" are purely single choice voters that just happen to care about money the exact same way a libertarian would. The only difference is they think a God divinely gods them as opposed to an atheist who does not.

Almost all of these books are written by a lay person who basically parrots back interpretations or speeches from bishops, preachers, etc. They literally add no value to the system. They just milk an audience to be frank. You wouldn't read "The simple of of not giving a Fuck" would you? Likewise now, if you say on the title "Turning the other cheek" and put a picture of Jesus walking with a child on a beach and now you've got 99.99% of the christian self help books.

The funniest thing that comes to mind is it's no different than the South Park episode "Christian Rock Hard" where Cartman starts a christian rock band. All he does is rewrite already made songs but add some christianic sayings or phrases. That is entirely that industry. They don't tell you anything new or something you can't just search on some forums anymore.

That might also be a bias because very few companies or organizations use things like open office (or the google suite for that matter) so there would be fewer people interested in attacking those software suites. Also it’s more fun to report on bad stuff that happens to Microsoft then and stuff that happens to some relatively small and unknown software company.

When I discovered this before, I gave it a try and organized my email account.

What I can say is that I like it for helping you choose levels of hierarchy. So far I've squeezed 10 or fewer sub-categories into each chosen category. (I use the 0s, so within 10-19, I start with a sub-folder of 10...)

What I do not do is any of the other suggestions - searching by it, memorizing numbers (though I have an intuitive sense now when organizing email or looking through it.)

I have not tried this folder structure yet for files.
Exactly.

And if you listen to Michael Saylor's interview with Binance [1], the store-of-value argument is at the core of his rationalle/narrative (it's a rather long video, but he gives a complete explanation of his motivation in the first 5 minutes, I think).

I believe MicroStrategy's first investment into BTC was really a case of their corporate treasury making a rather bold (desperate?) move to preserve their asset value in the wake of an absolutely gigantic recent expansion of M2 money supply, and a sign of more of the same rolling beyond the horizon.

Basically, they decided it was worth taking all the the risks of BTC (regulatory, operational, technical, market risk) to get away from the certainty of their fiat assets getting essentially debased by the looming inflation.

But this business of levering up to go even longer is a pure balls-to-the-wall bet tho. It's completely nuts, and I love it. The guy obviously believes in his investment thesis, and you have to give him the credit for being the risk taker in the best tradition of The American Dream.

OK, he didn't exactly bet the company on it, but it's still a ballsy business move, if there ever was one.

Sure, all actions have externalities.

My taking an airplane trip adds carbon that effects everyone's atmosphere. My supporting a company I like (Apple) makes it more difficult for competitors (including more open ones) to succeed.

But unless you are arguing for a totally planned economy where the default is that the government makes all market decisions, our mindsets are the same. i.e. That we should weigh the costs and benefits of government intervention vs leaving the market alone.

If externalities or market failures are very bad (the climate, human rights, etc...), of course I support government intervention. However, government intervention has many costs and far from a perfect track record, so it's not a solution I want to throw at every problem.

I don't think we have a difference in mindset, we just weigh things differently. I don't think the things you've mentioned (app-locking, hardware incompatibility, etc...) are anywhere near bad enough to justify anti-trust action.
Here in the US the media effectively controls who people vote for, and the DNC/RNC is quick to "aggressively interject itself" if that tactic fails; so it seems to me that democracy as we know it is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. The media stopping opining about politics would not change that, even though it will never happen.

> Unfortunately, Vim’s default configurations lack several important usability features compared to popular alternative text editors, such as VSCode.

I find it odd, to compare Vim with VSCode and pretend that those 5 lines close the gap (especially when 3 of those lines are primarily about search). My own .vimrc has 166 lines (custom snippets, key bindings, plugin configurations (e.g. powerline, tmux navigator) and comments) and I try not to use more plugins than necessary.

I say that as someone who loves Vim. But not just for its features, but also for those that are not present (by default) and make it as fast as it is.
He's right about tether printing those amounts in recent times. Tether started printing heavily after the March crash, particularly in August there's been a significant uptick that you can see here in the blue curve: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/

To say "parked cars" when you mean "stopped cars" rules out any chance you are making a good faith argument.
> Unfortunately, I think the only way forward for cyclists is intense litigation against both cities and drivers around car collisions.

Do you want ANTI-bike laws that ban bikes from everywhere not permitted? To someone rich, the "solution" to having to deal with bike liability is to ban bikes.

The only solution is separate bicycle and car infrastructure. Period.

Yes, it sucks that San Francisco has backed off separate infrastructure due to budget. However, the solution is to go lobby SF and to make pro-bike infrastructure a single vote issue to make them put it back.

One thing I do not understand: why hasn't some rich millionaire/billionaire taken some second/third tier city and funded bike infrastructure into it? It seems like it would be a lot easier to get bikers to move to a city that has infrastructure rather than trying to jam infrastructure into city that is basically land-locked/water-locked.
Norman Angell argued almost the exact same thing as you-- in 1909. Doubled down on this argument in 1933. "The Great Illusion".

Part 3 shows the source code, in case you're concerned about it. It's just a few pages of C++ written 20 years ago, so unlikely that any lawyer would have any claim even in their wildest dreams, but stay clear of you want to have 100% plausible deniability. Parts 1 and 2 are clean.

If you want to try it out on a Mac laptop you can do the following:

brew install datasette # if you don't have it already
wget https://gitlab.com/shanghai-ccp-member-db/shanghai-ccp-member-db/-/raw/master/shanghai-ccp-member.db
datasette shanghai-ccp-member.db --setting sql_time_limit_ms 10000 --setting facet_time_limit_ms 10000

I recommend bumping up those default time limits because the database has almost 2,000,000 rows in and faceting will time out if you don't increase them.

You can easily facet by sex, ethnicity, hometown and organization using the cog icon on each column. The data is all in Chinese so you'll need to run it through a translator to see what it means.
