There are two 800lb gorillas in the room though

1. Tether manipulation of Bitcoin https://coinlib.io/coin/BTC/Bitcoin refer to the Money flow diagram. There are plenty of other HN stories on the Tether situation

2. How long will the US dollar remain as the world's reserve currency? For context, https://www.principles.com/the-changing-world-order/ This is probably a big reason for this announcement.

But is it better known? That's the determining factor here. The Great Suspender was well-regarded in certain circles, and even fairly well-known (I've never used it but I've heard of it). But even it apparently wasn't above compromise. To be reasonably safe, an extension has to either be a) so well-known that they'd never be able to get away with silently adding malware (because someone would notice, which to be fair is what happened here), or b) tied to a major brand that wouldn't want to sell out to some shady firm, on PR grounds alone.
> A check and balance has been on great display in recent weeks. A President has stated, "the election was a fraud, I should get another term". Congress has stated, "the election was correct. Moreover, we may choose to prevent you from holding office ever again." The judiciary agrees.

It surely worked, but with the majority of the Republicans in Congress objecting. And one can't help but wonder what would have happened if the election had been closer (you'd just need to ramp up the voter suppression a bit more). We had a taste of it in Bush v. Gore, where the judiciary decided to stop a recount with a very poor justification. Now imagine it in the much more polarized environment of today. Or with someone actually competent, who managed to solidify power over 4 years rather than doing opposition to his own government half the time.

I've been in the past few nights trying to build my own Matrix server with integrations to Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, IRC, Slack et.al. It is quite a lot of work, even with the Ansible script. First was the DNS SRV record, that is needed to federate with matrix.org. And the Signal integration happily sent messages to my friends, but I never got any messages back.

I have quite a lot of experience with Linux and server maintenance. And I know if I put enough time to this, I'll get everything to work eventually. I'm still saying that paying money for somebody else to do this feels like a nice investment at this point. The task of doing everything by yourself is quite tricky.
> Really? To me if seems that this is _exactly_ the market which will see their shares being eaten up by AirPod Maxes.

I highly doubt it. High-end audio is a niche market. Whoever was already willing to pony up >$500 for a pair of cans, will likely ignore it. The reason for it is that audiophiles are looking for features that the AirPods Max do not have, e.g. neutral signatures, manually-only adjustable equalizers, and open back drivers. Who is going to plug this on a $2000 amplifier, and why? Doesn't make sense.

This product is set to compete with high-end lifestyle headphones, like the Beoplay H95. In that market, it will mostly be hugely successful. But the "genuinely" high-end audio market? Not a chance.
It might not tick all of the boxes for being a complete software development tool, but Excel strikes me as being a dataflow programming model. I wonder if it's a reason why it's easy for laypeople to learn.
Looks like "vimtutor" is primarily text explaining the hotkeys.

For me, the bottleneck to picking up vim has not been merely knowing the hotkeys, but more internalizing the commands and building muscle memory.

The interactive game format of this website could possibly solve that, so it appeals to me.
They said XMPP improved afterward. The point is a combined effort would be in better shape than XMPP or Matrix now.

Is there a plan for supporting Viber?
The majority of illegal actors would still use Bitcoin in that scenario. The long term value of Bitcoin is irrelevant to them, Bitcoin just needs to keep a rough short term value and not be forgeable to be usable for illegal purposes.
Yes, although it snuck by Gatekeeper to begin with by being signed by another developer account.

>Regarding payments, this has been coming up and we’ll need to pick your brain as we develop solutions.

My contact information is in my profile. I'll forward to some people I know who had several problems with that. The last one I talked with worked with a company in the U.K. with the restriction the "worker" had to have a bank account in their country of residence, not in any other country. Explanations on exchange rates below. They know more about this, and know more people in that situation.

>We’ve also been looking at https://pilot.co/ https://www.boundlesshq.com/ and https://www.letsdeel.com/. Are you familiar with those?

Unfortunately, no.

What I also meant by payment problems is the disparity between the conversion rates in banks and on the streets. The disparity can be huge, so if you wire X euros to someone's bank account, it is automatically converted to the local currency at rate X and they get Y, when they could get 1.6Y or 1.7Y (60% or 70%) more on the streets. A 70% delta is a lot.

Some networks have developed to enable people to get the full "street value" of their money.

>When we call it “the Middle East and North Africa,” we also get feedback that it’s inaccurate.

Well, as someone in Algeria, if I were looking for work and visited the site and it said: "You're in North Africa", that's a fact of geography. It said "Hire the best Arab software engineers", I'll think "I'll forward the link to Arab software engineers I know since they're specific".

There are a lot of competitions, hackathons, or events that use this terminology, and I know many very talented people who do not participate because it's not for them. They'd rather go to another continent, and they do, where their ethnicity is acknowledged than submit a form that contains an inaccuracy that perpetuates a denial they've been facing for a long time. You are trying to optimize for brevity and clarity and you have to put something on the page, and I get that. I'm just saying and I think that you have lived through enough exclusion and non representativity that you understand that a message on a landing page that excludes you defacto kind of stings.

>PS: My co-founder Iliana has spent lots of time in Morocco and some in Algeria… and can’t wait to go back! She speaks some darija… and picked up a few words of Berber. :)

Or you know, because they disallow dynamic code execution of arbitrary downloaded code in apps, and JIT JS compilers do just that.

>If you could just visit netflix.com and have it install a Netflix SPA that worked as well as the native app, why would you ever install the native app?

It's like asking "why would you ever use a native app". Because it's faster, native, and much more convenient?

Take the best desktop browser engine, e.g. Chrome, and put it inside a mobile browser app. Still, I (and most I guess) wouldn't use it to watch Netflix over individual apps.
Good point. Maybe their pricing could be location based?

I'm black. Spent a while living in Southeast Asia. Once, I was going to meet a landlord about renting an apartment and a white friend tagged along. Got there, the landlord was like "Oh. Sorry, no blacks." I was like "Okie doke." My friend was outraged on my behalf. I told him, "That's bad. You know what else is bad? Figuring out your landlord is a bigot only after you've signed a year lease because it was illegal to just say 'no blacks' up front. At least now I only had 10 seconds of shit instead of a year."

Sometimes it's nice when people put their cards on the table. It might not be a good thing for society or for business, but at least you know what you're dealing with.
What do you currently take photos of? What would you like to take photos of? What do you think is deficient in the photos you currently take that you'd like to improve upon with a dedicated camera?

To answer your actual question, I have a Nikon D810 with a 1.4f 50mm lens that I adore, but it's expensive and overkill for most purposes.

It's amazing for taking pictures of dancers in poorly lit rooms without being forced to use a flash.

95%+ of the time I use my phone just because it's a camera I always have with me though.
Other then what has been already mentioned (chiefly commercial 3rd party software support), I enjoyed the set-up time. Now there are better provisioning methods, particularly when setting up hundreds of hosts, but when doing it naïvely for a single or few hosts using the interactive installation software, I preferred RedHat/CentOS. That got me to a booting system in some ten, fifteen minutes, while the dreaded installation in Debian used to take easily 1.5h. Once installed, I found Debian easier to maintain and upgrade in place, but initial installation was a time-sink for many years.
I’m probably ignorant to some big issue here, but it’s. It obvious to me that ledgers solve a big problem. Yes contracts are a big problem in general, but the ledger seems like they’re giving me a new pen to sign them with or a new box to put them in. The work in contracts is in the negotiation and I don’t see that’s affected at all.
Maybe there has been some sort of accident of scale, like the intergalactic fleet in Hitch Hiker Guide to the Galaxy that arrives to destroy Earth but is eaten by a dog.

There could be a banging ET party going at the Planck scale and we would never know, they might as well be on the other side of the universe.
Completely agree. I just added that as a measure of best practice to avoid people going through that process in the first place.
This might be your whole point, but what your comment inspired in me was the excitement that art is accessible to anyone. That we're not out of "easy ideas" with only "hard ideas" left.

Which touches on one of the disenchanting things about technology (that is probably not actually true, but how I feel): it feels like we've only got "hard ideas" left, most accessible to the experts, those with resources, those with a lot of time.
It does not take a lot of brains to say, "Every outgoing President does this, you should do the same."

And he didn't particularly abuse the power. The record for one day of pardons/commutations is 330, set by Barack Obama on his last day of office. I believe that the record before that was set by Bill Clinton.

> The problem is that there is not clear enough guidelines for enforcing some criteria for what constitutes a new state. Thus we have a false positive like Wyoming, which shouldn't be a state with its minuscule population, and we a false negative in Puerto Rico, which is anachronistically governed like a colony .

Wyoming met the requirements when it was admitted, but its population hasn't grown as much as other states (e.g. no gold rush, etc). If you think this is somehow an incorrect result, what you're really arguing for is the abolishment of established states or periodically "redistricting" them in a way that would do more harm than good (given that states are more than just subdivisions for representative purposes).

> and we a false negative in Puerto Rico, which is anachronistically governed like a colony.

They've had many referendums on that question, and I think they voted against statehood until recently.

Being able to pardon for things from your administration during your own term seems to erode checks and balances. Some kind of limitation on that or maybe at least some kind of congressional approval could keep out the truely egregious stuff.

That's true for most full-disk or file-based encryption systems, including VeraCrypt mentioned by GP - as soon as you unlock the given storage, any application that has read access to your storage has access to all your files.
FBP is most analogous to the unit record machines of yore:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_record_equipment

What you are programming is the graph of how these machines connect and flow data(keypunch cards) through each other, while the machines themselves and their function are abstracted out. Data does not stay "at rest", it's presumed to reach a terminating point where it exits the graph. A buildup of unprocessed data in a machine's inbox results in an overflow.

It's a very useful model for making a debuggable asynchronous system since it imposes static constraints everywhere that you can map to your real hardware resources, versus the emphasis on dynamism seen in the actor model(actors hold private data, modify their state, create new actors - all explicitly disallowed in FBP).
This was not supposed to happen, I agree! May I ask what's your browser?
The IRS, in terms of of maximizing their tax collection, would almost certainly be better off using that money on (admittedly expensive) enforcement action against those who use traditional tax avoidance techniques. As you say, money talks.

This is a great idea and the UI is beautiful.

I had a similar personal project a while back to just send out emails to people with my "social update" on a weekly/monthly/yearly basis. People would opt-in to the email and select the frequency from a form on my personal website, and on my end I would get a reminder to send out my weekly update. It ended up being a bit buggy and a hassle to manage, and I'm planning to rewrite it soon. I bet if you built this feature into the app, you could organically grow the user base, as users would be able to still send Sunday reflections to certain emails and that email could have a link to download the app.

I think the audience for an app like this is people like me, who want to free themselves from social media altogether. I'm thrilled to see people working on the dopamine addiction that Twitter/Facebook/etc feed on, and wish you the best of luck on this venture!

Also, if you're looking for some free serverless code to power the idea I mentioned above, let me know how I should get that to you.
>If we were to alter this configuration of the Senate, the same question would undoubtedly arise--why should small states like North Dakota, Vermont, and Oklahoma remain in the Union, only to be dictated to by the citizens of Florida, New York and California?

I don't know why this is a valid argument, when you can turn it on it's head. Why should states like Florida, Texas, New York and California, who (1) have the most amount of people and (2) generate nearly all economic activity, be dictated by the citizens of North Dakota? Why is it that this argument never considers the inverse?

It's clear, by looking at Federal budget inflows and outflows, that states like North Dakota need California more than California needs them. If States were countries, and if The United States were more like the European Union, Texas would naturally have outsized power, much like Germany. It would be Texas citizens bailing out North Dakota.
"Rather than thinking in terms of the Duchampian readymade, which is most often understood as operating iconically..."

I got a real kick out of this line. At first I thought it was pure nonsense. After a bit of searching I found out that Marcel Duchamp was an artist that made some art called "readymades." Then I realized that what I thought was just pure nonsense was actually someone talking normally, but it was about a field totally alien to me.
so the question is: what's worse - imperial or 1-based index?

It is probably best to use Outlook or ThunderBird and setup the SMTP or IMAP with whatever email service you use and download it that way, if you need them.
> Do you write all of your emails in vim and browse the web on the command line as well?

Yes! I use mutt + vim. Composing emails in a textarea is a terrible experience by comparison. (Respect to emacs mail mode users, that’s a great option too.)

I also use w3m for browsing technical stuff, and use tmux for copy & paste into vim.
Not that easy. CFC rules. Actually if you want be in control it is very difficult to make it legal.
My own opinion is that zero based indexing is generally much more useful, and makes a lot of things things simpler and/or more sensible mathematically or otherwise. However, there are some cases where an index based on some other number (often, but not necessarily, 1) is more useful. (Some programming languages, such as BASIC, allow you to define whatever starting index that you want to do.)

BlackRock May Start Trading Bitcoin Futures in 2 Funds
I agree with your suggestion of general inflation - everything from corn to oil is inflating....but crypto is in a class all its own and is basically digital tulips (except tulips have greater intrinsic value).

As future devaluations for the dollar are basically guaranteed, it makes sense for the Treasury and Fed to nullify any alternatives that would interfere with their policies. No one who really matters has their net worth tied up in crypto (yet) - the entire market can be vaporized with no meaningful political fallout. The government cannot abide some future where Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk or Goldman Sachs has a majority of their assets outside of fiat currency - this would represent an existential threat to the model of governance.
