What Early Mining Patterns Suggest About Bitcoin’s Inventor
Society doesn’t award money to individuals. Other individuals award money to individuals, through mutually beneficial exchange (wages, purchases, etc). Don’t make the mistake of giving society too much credit. Sure we need roads, power, and the basics to be able to build businesses at all. But society doesn’t do much more than that to fuel success - that is still largely built on the backs of a few intelligent, hardworking risk takers.

Society is especially at its worst when they get in the way of individual freedoms and free market distribution of wealth. I think a good example of this is California, whose policies are bad for business, whose public services are terrible despite massive taxes, and whose overall economic size is more because of a lucky agglomeration in the Bay Area than because of intentional governmental policy.
Essence: "A single associate assigned to a specific production line working between the production dates specified (12/14/2020 – 12/21/2020) was found to be using an improper torque wrench technique".

A case for using more robots, I guess.
That’s a good point. In this case the spike-derived peptides have no known N-linked glycosylation sites[1] and the paper you mentioned showed that at least some of those epitopes are accessible even when taking glycans into consideration.

I’ve seen them installed on a few stations already - they are in the parking areas, not filling areas - if fume concentrations are high enough to light up there then there are way bigger issues with the station :)
Wouldn't it just need to be the network transport that needs to be updated? I don't imagine the mainframe databases are encrypted-at-rest as it is, so how would quantum change anything there?
Have them try GoGoGrandparent.com! A way to use Uber and Lyft with a phone call. Call and press 1 to get picked up from home, call and press 2 to get picked up at your last location. We screen their drivers, make sure the cars aren’t too big or too small and monitor GPS and trip pickups so that if it looks like a driver is getting lost we can get them back on track. Our mission is to help people age independently in their home for as possible, regardless of their age - or sobriety!
The same reason monitors and TVs have the blue levels turned up high - it looks better against competitors in a showroom to the average consumer.
If central banks weren't on a mission to create 'inflation' by manipulating interest rates, tech would do what it was meant to do...deflate the price of everything. Instead governments try to make interest rates low to create inflation and achieve asset price inflation - pricing anyone who didn't own assets before their ingenious printing out of the market. Hence why millenials control so much less wealth per their age than boomers do. Boomers took us off the gold standard in 1971 and that is when you see the wealth gap begin to explode. Go do some actual research and look at the exponential wealth discrepancy curve starting in 1971.
I would rather the mentioned companies run freaking dutch auctions on lots than what we currently have.
One could argue that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with unlimited wealth and unlimited spending as long as there is no money-power equivalence. Unfortunately, there is (money-power equivalence). This is not a case of buying bigger and bigger yachts. This is a case of influencing the very fabric of society, including its laws, by a small minority.
>Shell is an evil oil company

No one "knew" about climate change in 1986. It took 20+ years of research to gather and analyze enough evidence to prove such an enormous claim, that humans had been inadvertently geoengineering the planet. Also shell employs tens of thousands of people - this myth comes from one internal communication that maybe a dozen eyes at most even saw.
The whole point of seasteading like the MS Satoshi in the article, and space colonization to a lesser degree, is to remove yourself from the constraints of a country's laws and develop a society of your own.

Upgrading Kubernetes From 1.11 to 1.18 in a Month
My ex mother in law was... a professional patient. She was morbidly obese, and over the 20 years I knew her had:

- non-hodgkin's lymphoma

- pulmonary blood clots

- a section of her abdomen the size of a loaf of bread went necrotic after a suture migrated and pierced her intestines.

- heart failure leading to constant oxygen

- breast cancer

and there's probably something else I'm forgetting. She was a deadbeat who managed to work about 6 months of her life. None of her major health problems started until after 40. She was a welfare mom who married a guy with a meth habit who worked at an automotive parts counter making peanuts. At no point was she ever denied care. She even spent around 6 months in the ICU at University of California Irvine and had amazing reconstructive surgery for the necrotic tissue. Of course she ate her way back to morbid obesity after getting a new lease on life.

The US health care system seems to cause more issues for people with a little wealth, because it will happily take it all away. For people with nothing, in my personal experience, you can get great care.
Actually, it supports regex!

I detail this a bit more in the readme, but it supports general JS notation for certain things.

Surround your search with /these/ to perform a regex match on the character.
To match on the name instead you can use the advanced search tab which is accessed via the button on the top left.

I may also add glob notation though, since that sounds like a pretty valid use case.
> ...interdependence makes countries play well together.

This line of thinking led directly to WWI.
I certainly stress a lot less, since I decided to get off the hype and upgrade train. I've got 600+ games on my Steam account that run perfectly on my PC, even though most of the hardware is 2011 vintage and the only "new" hardware in it is an SSD and an RX560.

Life is much calmer in the slow lane.
instead of any economic progress, the entire left platform seems to gravitate to virtue signalling, tone-policing/cancel culture, de-platforming and self-censorship regimes we see now.The progressive left has been turned into Corporate-sponsored LGBT freak show with no popular appeal and no rational bedrock on which the philosophy can stand; its a new religion where sin was replaced by 'political incorrectness'. Saying a word to ruin your career is anti-thesis of a free society - its a repressive regime that masquerades as democracy but forces a specific ideology and culture down your throat.
If you ever feel superior to totalitarian regimes like China where a bad word can lead to your arrest, its time to reconsider this assumption.
This is the inevitable consequence of making society into consumers and not creators. When the average person can't write a short story, can't draw, can't do anything creative (in the generative sense), but instead relies on consuming pre-packaged experiences for entertainment, it's inevitable that those with the most resources will be the ones designing your future. This only accelerates as new media becomes both more popular and more expensive (i.e. $50 million Netflix series) as compared to the cost of writing a book (none, essentially.)

It's like the old cliche: design your life or it will be designed for you.
> SpaceX wants to shuttle settlers to Mars for $500,000 a ticket, with loans available that could be worked off.

Woah. From the 15th - 18th century, colonization of the 'New World' was the equivalent of today's space ventures. There were innovations in funding (joint-stock ventures), technology (vessels that could cross dangerous ocean environments & navigation technology), and in the European perspective, a sense of mystery about a voyage into the unknown. It was seen as a way to start life over, and if you couldn't afford to pay the passage (5 pounds in 1650 is roughly $16030 - $307285 today) you would indenture for a master to work off the debt. Sound familiar?
I'm afraid I don't understand your comment. I think you're trying to say that it wasn't just racism that caused the war on drugs (and in particular on marijuana). But I do think the quote in the parent comment makes it pretty clear that the Nixon administration engineered the war on drugs in order to incarcerate black people (for political power, not necessarily racism, though the two are very difficult to divide here).

"Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

The linked article quotes the head of the proto-DEA making an extremely racist comment showing the reasons why he attacked marijuana. I think the specific targeting of drugs used by the black community (marijuana and crack were and are significantly more prosecuted than opioids and heroin) gives this weight above a conspiracy theory.
By designing stores around that premise?

If you check out jewelry or other luxury goods stores, they generally have

- concreted in pillars to prevent cars smashing into them

- a combined doorman/security person (you know the type - 6 foot 4, tight suit, earpiece)

- an airlocked doorway (possibly even a locking revolving door)

I have a similar issue as well, with Firefox. It used to work just fine until a couple months or so ago.
It would be nicer if articles with this general tone focused more on alternative creation and positive action rather than on stopping others from creating things.

It's reasonable to want to have more public sector involvement in many areas and alternative views for our future, but none of these require that you have to 'stop' people like Musk and Bezos from doing what they're doing.

Building things is actually really hard. Much harder than complaining about the status quo.
I hope they're doing it to shut them down.
Most of these things are achievable with a ~1900s level of technology. Most "needs" today are consumer-driven or "but the Jones have one!" driven.
I for one happen to like the typography of the 2010 version much better.
I guess that's true for wire fraud, but the similarity to MLM is undeniable: participants end up financially interested in perpetuating the bubble, enticing more victims. The last ones in end up holding the bag, the first ones in get the profits.

But there are differences too of course. The virality built into modern tech makes it easy to amplify opinions into full on bubbles. You don't need to create your of Herbalife to defraud people. Now you just need to find an organic idea / trend that you could profit from ("Buy GME because short squeeze, let's show wall street!"), and hype it up with bots and followers to bootstrap the bubble, hoping that it will snowball on the same kind of virality that put it on your radar in the first place.

The new scheme is better because you don't need to create a company that can be sued. You're just a redditor caught in a meme / joke with thousands of others like you. Some newbies took this too seriously and lost their money. Well duh, their fault, should have been more careful.

Nice and clean, see.

As a (hypothetical) example, I'd imagine a pizza app to be pretty usable if I didn't speak the language (illiterate may be a bit much as I'd need to know my address):

Put in my postcode & choose my address; choose a pizza size & toppings from icons/photos.

Add credit card info into a standard looking form & that's it (or even, touch the fingerprint sensor when the fingerprint icon comes up)

I think the trouble isn't that you wouldn't know the Spanish for "OK" (or "pepperoni") but if the app lacks proper information hierarchy so you don't know what to do next.
I'd like reliable brands at fair prices.

Although, I'm not sure it's the best thing for society to have too much cheap, high quality weed around. It's complicated.

I would like to see the artificially high revenue/taxes put to good social purposes.
> because of amount of tax included in fuel price.

That arguably can't be true, because every gas station pays the same tax. That means, if you removed the tax, gas stations would still be making almost zero profit on gas (but the gas would be cheaper to customer by the amount of tax). Competitive pressure pretty much ensures that.
I think it was honestly just a trend. Back then you used to have design students making annual reports for fun so they'd have something to pad out their portfolios. I'd wager that sort of thing is now towards the bottom of the list for most.
There's a half-joking political ideology named "Anarcho-Frontierism" that basically believes this: true anarchist societies can only exist on the frontiers of civilization.

Anarchist communes can exist only so long as people that don't want to belong to them are free to leave, venture a bit further out into the vast frontier, and start up their own new thing. The moment people are forced to live together with other people that don't share their same beliefs, we start to need social structure, rules, and formalized decision-making processes to prevent violent strife.
The opt-in part is what makes all the difference, and it's why the accusations of utopianism fall flat.

We should have more experimentation of alternative systems of governance. Creating experimental, small scale and opt-in societies to do that is a low risk way to achieve that. Then the process of selection takes over: the most desirable model becomes dominant as more people move there voluntarily. In the end we will have more competition between states, especially as remote work becomes the norm.

This is very different to an attempt to radically transform an existing society, which requires hoisting things onto a large number of unwilling people who haven't opted in, and risks destroying something that's already working pretty well. We shouldn't confuse the two.
I doubt it is trivial to support what QtCreator, C++ Builder, Delphi and Blend are capable in the context of putting everything into Chrome.

Running graphical tools as external processes in their own windows misses the I in IDE.
Social networks are immune to competition because of network effects. Once their network is established as the first mover, a subsequent newcomer will always have a worse product because of the smaller networks be therefore can’t challenge the incumbent.

Where we have seen successful upstarts in social media is when they have a different product. So Tik Tok can enter this space. But a Twitter clone or Facebook clone will have a hard time.

The technology isn’t the blocker. It’s that the nature of the social media product works differently, and the lack of competition is inherent to such a product.
I also only see one - probably just a bug due to different browsers/adblockers.
Interesting article on journal publishing but the HN title is the name of the blog not the article, which is confusing.
Earth-moving research charts one billion years of tectonic plate movement
I appreciate the comperhensive answer. I have done some experiments with assembly in C64 and on ZX Spectrum and also many years ago with 8086. And one or two other things. Mostly pretty simple. I grew up on the Coco 2 when I was maybe 9 or 10, but never got into assembly on it. Maybe someday I can check that out. I have heard a lot of people say how great the 6809 is for that.

I haven't ever really tried to dig into a lot of details on assembly with the contemporary processors though. I know there are quite a lot of extra capabilities, for example various things for efficient vector math and virtualization, but don't know a lot of details. So I was just wondering what people thought about doing assembly on the latest CPUs compared to the old ones. But I think as you point out, a lot of that depends on what hardware you are interfacing with and how and more generally the application.

I think you are right to point out that the details and capabilities of the hardware interfaces are going to make a huge difference. That is something that is attractive to me about assembly programming, especially olders systems that are designed to be interfaced with assembly, is that hardware capabilities are directly accessible and you can achieve interesting things straight away just by putting some numbers into memory.

So a few years ago I built this thing called Vintage Simulator https://vintagesimulator.com/ and one of the ideas I had was about directly accessing interesting hardware capabilities. For example, the system provides Lua scripting, and I created a way to interface with the RAM on the emulated systems. So I started working on the idea of a virtual 3d spaceship controlled by an onboard C64. I was making it so that I would put things like the elevation of the ship into memory with Lua, and then with C64 assembly I made a read out on the screen. I was planning on making so the assembly program could control the ship, with the Lua program monitoring special memory locations.

Also along those lines, I was dreaming about making a virtual 3d holographic vector display. So it could maybe monitor certain memory locations or something and then to display into the 3d environment from the emulated 8 bit computer, just write to memory. Or maybe write to some kind of output system if that made more sense.
What you are describing in the case of the GDPR would be like a US company - Facebook for example - being regulated by the GDPR. But while Facebook is in the US the data someone in the EU is creating is inside the EU, so it doesn't really matter if Facebook is targeting EU citizens or not since the data is not (at first at least) in the US and transferring it there is illegal if it doesn't follow the GDPR. That being said I'm aware that there are situations where a country will punish something happening elsewhere but it still isn't reaching outside its borders. If the EU want to punish Mark Zuckerberg it cannot touch him or his assets unless they are inside the EU without the cooperation of the local court or government. That was the reason Privacy Shield got overturned.
That's because TDD is primarily a design technique, not a test technique.

Tests are a (very) nice additional benefit, particularly because it has a simple way of ensuring coverage: only allowed to write production code if there is a failing test case, and only enough to make it pass.

Everybody I knew who was a chef working for somebody else has quit and do other very different things now.

Long working days, underpayment and stress were big complaints, but the thing that struck me was the correlation between complaints of excessive bullying, up to and including violence, with silver service restaurant kitchens.

There’s something wrong in that industry that wouldn’t be remotely tolerated where I work.
Compared to the news of Andy Mills’ resignation from the Times which received 100+ upvotes and remains near the HN front page, this news seems more likely to materially affect tech workers. I’ve already seen coworkers refer to major papers’ style guides and editorial practices when debating how sensitive topics may be discussed, both internally and externally (Do we capitalize the “b” in Black? How about the “w” in White? etc). The decision by Times leadership that context and intent no longer matter when uttering bad words, and indeed that termination is an industry-accepted response to otherwise benign and well-intended utterances, may have broad implications for knowledge workers.
Nope. Competition to Frontpage.

Those personal fortunes are also products of laws. Jeff Bezos is wealthy because he owns a huge number of shares in Amazon. He is able to do this because this is a legally recognized form of corporate governance.

Imagine a bunch of Amazon workers suddenly decide to start ignoring directives from on high and pursuing goals other than enriching the shareholders. They're fired, naturally. They keep showing up to Amazon and using its resources. Some people from payroll are in on it. Why can't this happen? At some point the government gets involved and people start getting arrested.

The idea that private wealth is somehow separate from public governance is common enough in our society, and it's easy to hold on to if your idea of government is always an interference with the status quo, but if you consider that the status quo is created by a system of government actions in the first place, it's clear that this idea doesn't actually make sense.
I don't know exactly what WSB is all about, but there are way too many people who seriously think this is some kind of popular uprising against evil hedge fund to take back the profit they deserve. (Or at least there were, until a few days ago.)

I don't think they'll like "Bro, it was always about making fun of how much money you lost."
Interesting argument that gives me something to think about. Though the last line doesn't make much sense to me.

Between, say, the American way of embarrassing riches and the EU way of equality I note one didn't produce many tech companies

You seem to be implying that producing many tech companies is somehow indicative of a superior result. It's borderline heresy to argue otherwise in HN of all places, but are we certain about that?

Exactly. The Rational movement is well optimized for signaling their intelligence. Everything from the fanfiction to the explicit partitioning of people into rational and non-rational groups is meant to signal how smart they are. Sometimes that means they encourage genuinely smart practices. Autodidactism is great. Learning math and computer science is great. But the game is fundamentally to appear smart, often via contrarian views. That doesn't always align with safe medical practices.
