Wouldn’t a UBI effectively lower costs of labor and undermine the circumstances of forced work? It’d be a UBI in the developed region and not in the foreign country.

I think you're missing the point

A nation doesn't issue bonds to cover the cost of its spending, but to remove money from circulation. It's simply a way of saying "hey, there's too much money around. If you let us remove some of it now, we'll give you back more in the future"

There's literally no situation where a sovereign nation would not be able to pay out the bonds it has issued. It's simply a matter of making the money printer go "brrrrr" and presto - the debt has been resolved

In the most broad terms, the only difference between realising bonds and simply printing the money is the lag time

As you say yourself - there is no magic

In the case of Zimbabwe, and as stated very well by imtringued in the other post to this thread, Zimbabwe could have invested in production, education, and infrastructure to grow the economy, instead of trying to sell bonds, which is essentially saying

"Hey, you know this currency that is rapidly loosing value - we're going to print so much more of it in the future! Doesn't this seem like a great investment?"
None of mine did either. I think they are still pretty rare unless you are in a city or a very large school.
For reference to support parent: that tax implications of the bitcoin I owned and sold after 7 years of sitting on it was much simpler than the bitcoin I bought and sold over and over again trying to make money on both sides of an order book during high volatility.

I am a US citizen. I have fully complied with tax law as I understand it. To my knowledge, I’ve never been involved in any darknet marketplaces. I’ve seen an opportunity much sooner than my peers.

I have been waiting for the current price volatility since the last ATH spike in January 2019 since exiting a majority of my bitcoin positions. The block reward halving last summer combined with an ever increasing mining difficulty is a no brainer to me. Good luck

There’s 7000 shitcoin trading on an infinite number of shitcoin exchanges providing infinite liquidity; that’s what I see. What is there to stop bitcoin?

I'm sorry for not been clear enough but you probably misinterpreted that, it's like when someone visit you and brought a bottle of fine wine as present, you welcome him and says "This is so unnecessary! (but of course I appreciate that)", notice the emotion and hands on his face? well maybe this is a cultural thing.
Why does Google own the copyright then?
Two great points that mass media (and hence people in general) will never learn:

>It wasn’t a cyberattack in international relations terms, it was espionage.

>Espionage is internationally allowed in peacetime.

If this was one of the many US espionage jobs against Russia or whatever nothing would be written about it except to yell "Tinfoil hat" or "Commie!".
> Yes - because it means existing code that expects a T cannot accept a Future<T>

First of all, this is a programming language specific problem, not a general one. A good language allows you to write:

someFuture.map(someFunction)

Where "someFunction" accepts the plain value of type T that is stored within "someFuture".

Yes, you cannot write someFunction(someFuture), but that is a good thing, since asynchronous execution can very well change the behaviour of the program. Hence, I want the compiler (if there is one) to warn me if a variable that I pass to a function is now a Future instead of a plain value. I then map over the Future and I'm good. Or, maybe I want to wait for completion of the future and I'm good.

In both cases, there is no reason to write a second version of "someFunction".

Therefore...

> If you want to use the legacy code you have to force the future potentially before you really needed it.

... this is only true in incapable programming languages.

Looked through the materials posted and it seems like Nintendo just diligently observed an active modder and as diligently made a detailed plan for a conversation with them in person, to (politely, as far as I can tell) get them to stop efforts that, in their perspective, might otherwise open up their console(s) for running pirated software or similar.

There is published, credible research about the US sugar lobby influencing health policy to downplay the risks of sugar [1]. Here's a popular media story about the article [2].

I have cut out sugar except for social occasions in the last 10 years and find amazing improvement to my well-being and clarity of mind. The alliance of food mega-industry and politics in the US is one of the reasons the US is morbidly obese.

I routinely score higher on my health checks (we have a once-a-year doctor check-up with blood-work for all employees) than my colleagues that are very fit and engage in more physical activity than me, but consume sugar daily. I also have almost eliminated dental procedures, excluding routine check-ups. Before, I needed a cavity filled every other year.

These are just personal anecdotes, but there is starting to be more and more research out there on just how bad sugar is. Consider doing a personal experiment and see how you feel.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! It is very valuable. I've tried improving [[node]] with your feedback in mind.

Yes, I agree; all text is a continuous work in progress. What you see in the Agora are my notes about the Agora as I develop it and think about it, essentially. Part of the reason I posted this Show HN is to get feedback from people new to the project yet presumably close to the current target audience, if there is any target audience at all :)

What cities are you living in?! £70k GBP is an insane salary, $70k USD equates to £52k, which is also _well_ above the UK average salary. Same applies to EU cities too.

You really think that Google spent the time to build a system that secretly links employees’ accounts to their personal accounts—something that Googlers would have to build and would also piss off those same Googlers—and then uses that system to prioritize feedback from Googlers just to make their own employees have a better Maps feedback experience?

You need to look up what the word "collapse" means.

What you actually meant was "got a bit busier".
AFAIK there are many cities where 70K per year is well below comfortable (even if your definition of comfort doesn't imply luxury yachts or cocaine).

Yesterday I have been told $80K is the actual median income but $200K is minimum comfortable in SF (never been to there, can't confirm).
I'm not sure, I guess it's some non-standardized hardware decoding API, which LibreELEC supported.
To be clear, the Agora is not a centralized network.

Its architecture is very simple but it's already decentralized; users keep full control of their data. I also intend to evolve it in the direction of a fully distributed system.

It's very variable for each edit. I've sent about 20 edits over time, all in western Europe; some were accepted rapidly, some were rejected for some reason, some are still stuck in review after months or years.

I learned BBC Basic. When I got to university I found it hard to unlearn line numbers. Yep, line numbers and by implication GOTO.

Also had to unlearn BBC ADFS directories. True hierarchical directories were hard to comprehend because I had learned ADFS directories, where you have 26 of them, they are single letter prefixes to files and not hierarchical.

Any talk of BASIC being useful is nonsense. BASIC was pushed on to the home micro scene by Microsoft. This held us back.
I agree but no, it’s manual data entry at the moment.

Hey there HN. Every time I am updating my OS, I am doing a fresh install.

Before doing so, I like to check the status of all local repos (and delete them).

I wrote a little helper, git-recon, to quickly check the status of a repository or a folder of repositories.
To me the problem was the "I won't do it if it isn't my idea (and so other people have to go out of their way to trick me into thinking their idea is my idea so I don't discard it)" aspect (which I find extremely toxic), not some kind of "I (maybe even accidentally) took credit for your idea because (but if you had corrected me I'm sure it wouldn't have been a problem)" angle.
Yes, Apple seems to be very confused in this regard. They’ve committed to USB-C for all of their computers, but then are continuing to push lightning for all the other portable devices.

It’s hard not to be annoyed at them about this. Enough to not buy Apple again? No, not yet, but I’d be lying if it’s not a reason why I’ve delayed purchasing a new device. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and makes me grumpy. So I’ll wait to upgrade to the last moment.

On a similar note, it seems Nintendo with the switch has hobbled USB-C in some way that standard equipment won’t work with it, like charging over generic USB-C, is this accurate? Has Sony similarly hobbled the spec for PS4/5?
Uhm, no. Those are two straw man arguments that don’t help the discussion.
Haha, I'm tempted to throw money at it too.
If you look look at my comments, I do say there can be verbal bullying. I'm not recommending that someone escalate a verbal altercation into a physical one. I'm saying that zero tolerance policies prevent people who are bullied from fighting back in a physical altercation.

On a side note, depending on the state and the specific circumstances, if a bully utters fighting words, one could be justified to get physical if there was an imminent threat to violence. Of course, law and school policy are different.
That does not work. You need to be familiar enough with an issue to debate it, otherwise it’s just uninformed noise. It’s not because a subject is interesting only a small niche that there is no freedom of “debate”. Conversely, 80% of a population shouting at one another on Twitter is no debate at all.

So you’d first have to define the relevant part of the population, which is hopeless. And then you have debates about who should be part of the debate, which is not much better than what we have now.

Slightly confused by that wording. Do you mean actual contruction as in build things with a hammer?
Is it though? I see whole corporations running in office. Most communication goes through outlook and PowerPoint. I’ve seen people building intricate and bespoke interfaces in Access with only later the data storage layer removed from access internal to ms sql; whole graphs and pivot tables created from many data sources in excel, and even finite state machine simulators integrating real time Prometheus dashboards. Somehow the office suite is extremely powerful and it works and integrates with many things. It may not be pretty but I’ve seen many non(CS)-programmer deliver quite some business value with it.

US government documents are public. You can legally publish and discuss them. No-one has a legal obligation to secrecy unless they sign it away as part of an employment contract with the government.

Thus the attempts to nail Assange for conspiracy, something that is self-evident nonsense given the Adrian Lamo chat logs published by Wired show Manning contacting Assange with express intent to leak.
I thought that from what we have seen with all the image hosters coming and going every few years is that the financials don’t work out at some point and they are just losing money. Then they have to try to add ads, prevent hotlinking, add their own social network and handle abuse until people move on and the cycle continues.

What do you think you are going to do differently when you reach that point?
I love how you could mix 6502 assembly and also create macros.

For example, you could declare something like this to move two bytes from F% to T%:

870 DEF FNMOVW(F%,T%)
880 [
890 OPT pass%
900 LDA F%
910 STA T%
920 LDA F%+&1
930 STA T%+&1
940 ]
950 =pass%

And then reference it from somewhere else like so:

220 OPT FNMOVW(&52,&4B)

And the resulting code would be inlined into your assembly. It made for shorter and more readable assembly.
I think the stereotypical English phrase is "Aw, you shouldn't have!"
Right. What you do - stroke or no stroke - becomes paths in the brain. Habits are simply more well established paths. What you do today influeces what you'll do tomorrow. And so on.

That is, what you "feed" your brain will manifest itself physically as paths in the brain. Full stop.

When you develop a habit of consuming violece - and enjoying it - those paths are real. Pretending they don't exist doesn't make them magically disappear. Confirmation bias works that way, the science does not.

Furthermore, human behavior is often learned for the collective. That is, for example, given a group of cigarette smokers, the more who quit smoking, the more likely others in the group are likely to quit.

Put another way, going in the other direction, humans naturally gravitate to broader norms. That is, the more I see others with excessive weight, the more likely others will join that club. So yes actually, you are what you eat. Literally.

Now please explain - not being snatky - how that's nonsensical.
I found that my commute had predictable timings. Drive at exactly 28 mph, and you’d hit the green wave. As my commute was over 50% of my travel, and the pattern was learned in just a few days of observation, I question how valuable this service will really be. In my other commutes, I was stuck in stop and go traffic, and this ‘Green Wave’ detection wouldn’t help. It’s for a corner case of non highway driving outside of rush hour. Yet, I can see how it would appeal to the German sense of proper order and over engineering.
Coming from the industry - MC & Visa typically don't know if exact card is valid or not. They admit range of numbers to an issuer (bank, revolut-type, whatever), and issuers system is queried for each transaction - card can be created at any time without notifying card schemes.

There's some exceptions (tokens etc.), but not relevant to this use case.
>Is there a website anywhere...

I doubt, pretty much anything that has electronic circuitry has got a micro processor - it's an off the shelf component, well understood, much easier to change/modify and test than custom built analog circuitry. For example - what's the option to save any end user settings with analog devises - knobs/potentiometers.... Compared non-volatile memory like NAND, the cost (and space and weight) differences are orders of magnitude.
I agree with the sentiment (I assume is) behind this statement, I did a year at IBM and found the culture of TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) confusing, lazy, and exclusionary. In case you/others wanted an answer:

The two dose studies provide incomplete information about the single dose efficacy — administration of the second dose ends the data collection for the first dose alone.

The data collection also includes the period of time that the body spends responding to the vaccine (so if you get the shot and get infected that day, the shot gets counted as not being effective).

And then on the other side of it, they don't have data on how long immunity from a single dose would last.

But it's likely that the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines have quite high effectiveness after the initial immune response.

Yes it's a camera drone for the military. Big deal. It's also extremely noisy.

The government can put cameras wherever and on whatever platform it damnwell wants - and is allowed to. Really the only way to control the consequences is to restrict those places, platforms and what is done with the data, through laws and regulations. You know, like in a democracy.

If that's not possible, a camera on a particularly cute drone is the least of your problems.
This does sound like an awesome experience! However, it seems they lost the candidate anyhow. I wonder if somehow being too nice plays into that?

I remember using Waze for the first time many years back and it saved me a couple minutes off a rush hour commute by routing me through a residential area and past an elementary school with a bunch of kids running around.

Great, the map app shaved a couple of minutes for some drivers in a hurry by putting hundreds of kids' lives in danger.

Mapping apps ought to be subject to some sensible regulation to avoid cases like this and the one in OP.
Ok, so if you are incepting someone into giving you a pay raise or a dividend or options or a commission on a new project, that makes some sense to me; but if you are just working at a company and have to move mountains to convince people to do something that they will never even be able to appreciate you for it because part of the process was tricking them into thinking it was their own idea, then I guess I am saying you also need to make damned sure that you aren't going to just work for that project and have protection against being replaced on it: you need to incept the further idea that you should get a cut of the upside (which just sounds difficult in a world where you are explicitly diverting any credit for the idea to someone else).
[...] why not administer the vaccine earlier on (pre-approval) to the most vulnerable? if P(death|vaccine) < P(death|covid) then it seems really barbaric not to give it.

The full equation is: P(death+injury|vaccine) < P(death|covid)

Before widespread testing, you don't know the severity of a treatment's side effects, especially in vulnerable subpopulations like children and elderly. The risk of severe complications for a novel drug are especially of concern when the immune system is involved, since it's often unstable or senescent in early and late age groups, and overreaction (e.g. cytokine storms) may prove toxic.

You don't want the cure to be worse than the disease unless the untreated mortality rate is sky high and no other therapy is viable, as it is for many cancers. In the case of Covid, with a 2-10% death rate (depending on age and region), such desperate measures are hard to justify, especially in low risk groups, until risk of injury is better known.
