Don't know what you're getting at. There's no autocracy in Nepal (at least not yet). The Maoists won a free and fair election (Socialism is just that popular here). At most the country is super-duper and insanely socialistic, with government owning multiple large monopolies. Unless you call yourself a "socialist" you won't be winning any elections here. Unfortunately there is no pro-business/capitalistic political party in Nepal and that is what I sincerely believe is lacking here.
This playlist name thing I've also noticed.

More widely, many, if not all, of any recommendation algorithm in any field (music and beyond) are not 'intelligent' (meaning smarter than the right human) in any way whatsoever; as noted, usually some tag sorting going on - and where items have been auto-tagged vs manual makes no difference to the quality; you're still dealing with a programmed personality when auto-tagged.

However, they do (appear to) 'work' (exhibit intelligence) when it's performed on a topic of which you know little; there they offer a helping hand.
When I first published my app, they asked for a video of video fully working. Then once I had a bug and they sent me a video of it with the steps to the bug.
So there are definitely people opening and testing apps
It is currently probably way better (USA vs. China). Especially when seen from Europe (or USA)... looking at it from the point of view of a South-American citizen probably don't give the same result... and it's not self-hate, just history
Vienna for example. Although it is possible to survive with around 700-900€ per month, eat, live and study.

But if you also want to go out, go to restaurants/bars regularly and live in a nice place (not a shared dorm room), 1500-2000€ are way better.
Pretty much this. Although Rupert Murdoch is a worldwide media mafioso, his home territory is Australia and he owns the vast majority of print media here - this proposed action is in his favour and his only. It even by design excludes public broadcasters like ABC and SBS.
OT: Most (including me) confuse good products with good business models. Only because a product has killer potential doesn't mean it's based on a good business model and checks all boxes such as defensibility, distribution, lock-ins, dependencies, etc.
The dystopian fiction contest: Orwell vs. Huxley vs. Zamyatin. Who would win?
Chinese have't toppled a democracy.. yet, but they were rather successful at absorbing banana republics previously belonging to major powers.

China now has a dozen satellites made of countries formerly being playgrounds of foreign political games.
You misread my comment.

I didn’t say it was 30% across the board. I just claimed I was seeing a 30% price increase, for one product item.

Now, you can choose to not buy that item, in which case, the price increase doesn’t impact you.
> the "toGNUCommandLine" function would specify that it takes in a list of strings

The problem is that `List<String>` isn't the correct type for that function's parameter. It converts each item in the list to a string by calling `mkValueStringDefault` [0], which takes an argument that's of any type except list, attrset or function.

So, the correct type for `toGNUCommandLine`'s parameter is something like `List<Any - {list, attrset, function}>`. Are there static type systems that make it easy to work with types like that?

The "more by this developer" app list is also telling. A bunch of utilities, with all of them having in-app purchases, most having weekly subscriptions too. I don't understand how any of these apps passed the review.

I find this an amusing phenomenon, given the Greek roots one finds everywhere in English. How many on HN can get through the day without discussing logic or architecture? How many use light-emitting diodes? How long can you go without reading of someone's philanthropy or someone else's misogyny, utopias and dystopias?
This is a very weird rant, is "Wall Street" actually terrified or are some talking heads on CNBC just making up some drama?
Wow, it seems like none of the top commenters here have put in at least minimal effort to read and understand this.

The author does not complain about short sellers per se or about the fact that more than 100% of a stock's float can be shorted. That is all nice and fine. Instead what the author does complain about is that fact that the (supposedly regulated) mechanisms for shorting a stock are fraught with loopholes and exceptions that make it possible for brokers and the DTC to create stocks "out of thin air" for the short sellers and never neutralize. This dilutes the company's stock in the process and thereby damages the company's shareholders.

It is an issue that, if true, should absolutely be brought to public and regulator's attention.
I seriously doubt that only one IP of Hetzner sent spam but unfortunately it seems to be pretty common for email providers to soft ban VPS IPs.

I don't know how much spam come from cheap hosting services but between the hacked servers and servers rented by spammers it's probably a lot.
When I want to write code, I also want to have a pipeline that suits my requirements, at the cost of implementing it myself if necessary, because I want to best out of my coding experience.
The top comment criticizes China, I'm not really sure that what you say is accurate. There's much to criticize about China, but we westerners are in a really bad place to do so, lest we want to sound either condescending or hypocritical.
I suspect he/she means we have the ability to vote in our political system, which _does_ have the ability to influence what corporations are/aren't allowed to do.
I'm unfamiliar with radio tech but is the date being sent over these radios encrypted?
One of the reasons I like to open-source my work (even in “source-available” form), is so that there is clear “prior art.”

However, I have yet to write an app that has been highly successful, so being copied has not been a problem for me.

Seeing the behavior of these scammers, I have no doubt that they would gleefully take my source, tweak the storyboard, and release a clone. They don’t seem to have any sense of shame, at all. Some of these shops have stables of hundreds of apps; each, a minor tweak of other apps in their roster.

It is annoying that Apple gives me a hard time for some small cosmetic detail on my app, while rubberstamping these tsunamis of pure, shameless garbage.

I do get annoyed by “looks like” scams. A couple of years ago, my wife accidentally purchased a “looks like” app that was basically a screengrab of another app (and was approved on the App Store!).

She was able to get the subscription (!) canceled, but it was a pain. Apple also left the junk app on the store.

She was also so unnerved by the situation, that she never got the original app, so it shows that these spam/scam apps can cause a lot of collateral damage.

Getting a refund did not fix the problem.
> this happens both ways good and bad so it's probably a wash.

Absolutely. A real problem in things that aren't publicly traded on open markets is hype asymmetry. Somebody who wants the share price to go up can put enormous amounts of time and money into creating the appearance that the stock is worth more than it is. But there's no corresponding incentive to puncture the hype.

I suspect every one of us can name a privately held startup with a valuation we think is absurdly high. But there's no practical way to bet against them until they're publicly traded and we can short them or buy options (which may get hedged by buying or (short) selling stock).

Hey Vitalik, looking to really get into the weeds of blockchain like you. There seems to be a barrier between new folks and engaging fully in learning material. Just too much of a learning curve, got my hands on everything I could find but am now stuck, where do you suggest I find the most information on especially the math behind it all?
>Fungibility is merely how easily the medium is broken into smaller parts that may be exchange for convenience

No, fungibility is whether an asset (ie. individual assets within a particular class of asset) is interchangeable with one another.

It means when you deposit banknotes into your bank, whether the bank has to give you the same banknotes with the same serial number, or whether they can give you equivalent instruments to satisfy their obligation to you. What they owe you aren't the banknotes, but instead the money.

Also note when you deposit money into a bank, it's not treated the same way as if you put banknotes in a safe deposit box. The way you made your argument on stock brokers is as if it is, and fundamentally misrepresents this relationship. They don't owe you 'your' shares, they owe you a number of shares. Your shares become their asset, in exchange for their liability to you. You don't get to control what they do with their assets.

That's also the reason you don't get to control what the bank does with 'your' money you hold with them, because legally, it's their money with an obligation to pay you when requested. Hence the central bank steps in to regulate and guarantee fractional reserve banking in order to prevent bank runs.
Class B shares with no voting rights have been a thing for a long time. When the US government bailed out the banks in 2008, they made sure to buy only Class B shares, so no one could claim the government nationalized the banks and put them under their control, rather they just injected capital.

Something I don't get, both in case of Nvidia and PS5 products, is why they don't open the sales with higher prices. They are basically leaving at least 2x the money on the table to scalpers.
Let me unravel the mystery for you. I downvoted two comments “criticizing China” into the gray, and upvoted this one “criticizing the West”. What now, gonna accuse me of being an agent, a shill, or something?

Of course I flagged this one for breaking site guidelines, too.

(Sorry dang for knowingly breaking site guidelines with this comment. Just feel like given the constant accusations whenever there’s a thread like this, sometimes one has to show themself. I don’t think your “I looked into the users who downvoted and they’re not shills” is actually working.)
We are blessed in other ways too. We have a huge hydroelectricity potential that we haven't tapped fully. The problem is that people are insanely xenophobic and foreign investment is derided as "selling out to foreigners" here. Existing rules make it a nightmare for prospective foreign investors. There's not much capital inside to invest on our own natural resources.
Show HN: Daily writing app built using SwiftUI, and Swift UI
Hey HN, Ryan here - I started Daily Prompt off as a side project to learn how to code - I found Swift to be a great language to get start with. It’s an iOS app where every day, users receive a new writing prompt to spark their imagination and to get them writing. You can share your writing with the community, and give each other feedback.

Fast forward 2 years from this being a side project - it now has over 20k overs and I quit my job a few months ago to work on it full time. Apple featured it as App Of The Day in the UK last year which was a nice point of validation.

Not going to lie, when SwiftUI was brought out I got really excited and jumped into using it right away. Big mistake and headaches, although now it has grown up a lot and there’s a lot fewer bugs and seemingly random behaviour!

Backend wise, I’m using the Firebase platform. Specifically, Auth, Firestore, Functions (written in Javascript), Storage, Crashlytics, Remote Config, Analytics, and A/B testing. For a ‘newbie’ like me it has been a godsend and the pricing so far has worked out really well. Revenue last month was over $2k and Firebase costs were around $3.00

The apps free to use, so feel free to check it out. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Agreed. We can download and install things on our computers. That’s a thing still, right? I am sure we can manage to do that with our phones. Not sure how gatekeeping helps anyone other than Apple/Google at this point. The app stores, just as Amazon, have been compromised. You cannot rely on product/app recommendations. Worse yet the top results are more likely to be fraudulent.
What do you mean by consequences?

In the naked short scenario you don't immediately have the share, though I'm unsure how important this is for someone shorting the stock.

In saying that, brokers can still fail to deliver the share with non-naked shorting in which case it is effectively a naked short.

In the case of $GME, there were a lot of shares that failed to deliver in December as shown in this /r/wallstreetbets post: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l97ykd/the_...
Interview with Chris Lattner of SiFive about RISC-V
> Well, lending new money (i.e. an increase of lending over previous lending) does expand money supply and create inflation.

You are talking about lending by banks, and/or the central bank, which is quite clearly money creation.

New lending of your money to your friend does not create additional money.

There's also a word game going on here. What you are describing is a situation where I lend money to my friend, and for the purpose of your analysis, you assume that I will always have lent out a similar amount of money forever starting now.

That's fine if that's what you want to analyse. But that isn't the situation I described.
No kidding. Few weeks ago 'apt upgrade' killed my X server and locked up the whole machine. I'm like 99.99999% sure it was the nvidia drivers.

Yes, but I assume the rationale here is that they will only have to refund that month and can reset the clock for the next month. So if they have serious downtime it won't cost them for the full year - just for that one month.
Well, voting for one thing.

My mayor doesn’t have a ton of control over what the police department does; but they obviously can influence it. Similarly for the state legislature.

We also have laws defining advertising standards and protecting privacy. You can vote for people who would require that relationships like this be disclosed, or ban police use of private cameras without the owner’s direct consent. Or define ownership of the videos from cameras like this to say that the manufacturer has no right to use or share the footage.
>"The compound at the heart of the SpinQ machine is

dimethylphosphite

, a tetrahedral molecule consisting of one phosphorous atom, one hydrogen atom, an oxygen and two CH3O groups. This takes the form of colorless liquid at room temperature.

Dimethylphosphite is ideal because the phosphorous and hydrogen atoms are bonded to each other and close enough to interact while also capable of being manipulated independently.

To ensure that the radio signals from the hydrogen and phosphorus atoms are strong enough to pick up, a huge number of molecules must be used, about 10^15 of them. That requires a few drops of liquid, which sit in a small vial in the middle of the powerful magnetic field.

The technique is well understood and has long been used to make medical images of the body.

Indeed, the first quantum computers built in the 1990s used exactly the same approach."
>OSes, and SDKs they build

They build the OS and SDK on Mac too, why do they not get a % cut on all apps there too?

Actually when you're in Safari you're using their OS and SDK too why don't they get a % cut of purchases and software there too?

Just interested why one scenario is considered the norm yet these two others that fall under the same justification seem absurd.
There are two versions, the second one has a Raspberry Pi 0 as an accelerator; I'm not quite sure how that works does that suffice for your needs?
Yes, but assets that are traded within a particular financial market is fungible.

When you buy a share from the open market, they are not going to guarantee a particular share with a particular serial number you specify, they will only provide a number of that particular class of share of the company.
I do keep a full off-site backup of all the important stuff at least :)

Yeah RAID10 is a bit of an oddity. I definitely think it's the way to go on 4 disk setups, as it has the same failure level as a RAID5 but with significantly faster resilver times (i.e. both can lose any 1 disk and recover). RAID10 could theoretically lose 2 disks and recover so long as they're not in the same mirror pair.

After that it starts to feel like a bit more of a gamble though as you _could_ lose all disks in a single mirror on larger arrays. Say with 12 disks and a RAID7 setup (I'm converting from ZFS setups which is what I know :D) compared to RAID10; you could in theory tolerate notably more disk failures (50%) in RAID10, but you could also take 2 failures in the same mirror and immediately lose data.

But yeah the resilver times are horrible even when just mirroring two drives on my server, so I'm definitely wary of the stress resilvering a RAID5-7 array will put on the disks.

I think my ideal setup would be two servers with RAID10 arrays mirroring each other. Or I suppose with ZFS you could create two RAID10 arrays in the same machine and then make them a mirrored pair. Which would be entertaining, but I have no idea what RAID number that converts into!
That's far harder to do tho. It's not uncommon for politicians to deprioritize issues after getting elected or even use certain events to strengthen the state security apparatus. If 49% voted for more privacy, they'd lose to the 51%, but if 49% stopped using those service, it'll force the companies to implement better privacy options.

> interesting to see how the NVDA+Arm partnership continues

They also just completed the acquisition of Mellanox, a company working on 300G NICs (I have a few of their ConnectX-2's in my home lab). It would be very interesting to have all the networking, CPU, and GPU in one place to see what kind of things would come of it (as proprietary as they may be...).
As somebody who dislikes both the established old media firms of Murdoch & Co, but despises the parasitic Tech surveillance capitalism even more, I welcome this (regressive) attitude. Europeans are fighting for similar reasons which is loss of control of their own media and a takeover by US propaganda and norms by companies who have failed to pay their taxes again and again.

imo it doesn't matter that many of these local outlets are backward, racist and populist rags (never criticizing the Australian concentration camps, or failure of capturing the idiocy of the AAbill, or whatever justifies being outraged about etc), the big guys (FB/Google) are expert in doing the same thing but at scale and with better PR (+ they can do so without paying their taxes).

As long as it hurts BigTech it's the right move no matter what "appears" right or wrong. These firms and their management are parasites and they need to be treated as such until they a) pay their taxes and b) respect local laws.

> but I can't get onboard with Gemini until it offers the same support for screenreaders as HTML. (For example, an equivalent of span lang=XX tags is missing, so if you quote a foreign-language word(s) in your text, you can't let screenreaders know what language to read it in).

The problem with this you'll get a million other people saying "Gemini is a really good simple format that the internet needs, but you need to just add feature X". But if Gemini added all those features, it would become as bloated as HTML/CSS/JS!
A simple ray tracer in Lean 4
No, there is not a massive scheme to create counterfeit shares of GameStop which is being covered up by all the major players in the financial markets because they are all in on the conspiracy. There are no grand conspiracies, participants in the financial markets are perfectly happy to backstab each other, and very few of them cared one way or the other about GameStop before this hit the news.

In fact, none of them particularly care if one specific hedge fund goes out of business. The REAL reason that major players on Wall Street are a bit spooked by this situation is because it has received so much attention that Congress might decide to quickly pass ill-considered[1] legislation, and who KNOWS what THAT might do to things.

[1] "ill-considered legislation": a term referring to legislation that was not crafted in collaboration with financial industry lobbyists.
If you want a nice reliable, automatic, watch you don't even need a swiss maker.

There are a great number of manufacturers with a long histories of watch-making, for example Vostok from Russian, and Laco from Germany. (I have a couple of Vostok "dive" watches, which cost about €60 each, as well as a nice Laco pilot-watch for around €300). You could even go Japanese with companies like Orient.

Some retailers already use RFID to track items around the store.
They track the full journey of items around the store. Which items go into the fitting room together, which will be eventually bought, etc. Not to combat theft, but to optimize store display and advise given by store clerks.
This tracking also allows for accurate inventory display online. A store is in effect a warehouse for the on-line channel.

There isn't really a default "feel" for the NES. Different games would have their own distinct style. The key thing about this CSS framework is that it looks "8-bit" and fun, both of which are true of the NES; rather than it being a literal port of the NES look and feel to CSS.

Names are seldom meant to be taken literally but the fact that people are comparing this to a literal Nintendo Entertainment System seems to me that at least the name here is good enough in conjuring peoples expectations otherwise it wouldn't be possible to make that literal comparison in the first place.
Really nice! But since it uses an underlying Youtube video, when I turned the volume up, it showed me the volume overlay with the video title that was playing. Most videos were labeled "<city name> walking tour" or something like this; so if you're willing to cheat, it can be fairly easy :)
