This is too cheap! When I see the $99 price tag I think "how much testing will this guy really do?". Double or triple it.
> occasionally I multiply my Mt Gox holdings by the current price of Bitcoin and imagine how life could be

I often have flashbacks to that one tweet I saw many many years ago saying „Bitcoin reaches USD parity“. I was considering investing a thousand bucks at that time, just for fun.

I would be 37 million dollars rich today!

Who am I kidding.

What would have actually happened is I would have sold everything once my money doubled to 2 USD/BTC, and then panicked seeing it rise and rise, bought in again right before a crash and sold everything with a huge loss.

So realistically, you should take what the Bitcoins you lost were worth at that time, and multiply it 2-3 times if you‘re lucky, and that‘s it.

Most of the stories of people getting rich with bitcoin are:

- people invested in the ecosystem, eg creators of exchanges etc

- true believers (rare)

- celebrities like the Winklevosses who actively invested large amounts of money with some kind of plan

- people who forgot a harddrive from 2010 with 100 bitcoins and found it again in 2018. (or like MtGox, where they were stuck in liquidation for so long that the assets are worth billions now)

If you‘re not in one of those groups, I think you realistically do not need to worry about having lost anything more than a few single digit multiples of your Bitcoins worth in dollars back then.
They’re not sufficient without an adjuvant. Peptides by themselves usually aren’t enough to be recognized as pathogenic. If any peptide by itself could kick off an immune response, you’d be getting sick with everything you eat and smell.

Canadian here who works in US tech -- not sure I have any general advice that would be helpful but with some more context about your specific skillset & situation I might be able to help. Feel free to reach out (email in my profile).
I've read a fair number of articles about stationary batteries providing services to the grid. Frequently, the authors describe the batteries capability in MW or GW, units of power. This will tell you how quickly energy is added to the grid -- and commonly used to describe continuous energy sources such as gas-fired and coal-fired plants.

However, I never (or rarely) see the energy storage capacity of these batteries mentioned (kilowatt-hours or kWh). Such information is important to figure out if the battery installations will last more than an hour supplying to a grid that is suffering extreme lulls in wind generation.

Anyway, knowing this information would help also in the context of the significant demands the electric vehicles will make on our grids (a typical EV requires about 10 kWh, daily, to serve a driver's 10,000 mile-a-year habit).
I believe it's about compression and bandwidth.

There might be background removal and audio processing too.
Apple knew what they were doing, as usual. Trust them the first time. It's possible they can do this again and perhaps next time 'they won't listen'.
I work at a testing tools company focusing on C/C++, and every few months there's a customer who complains about their tests failing when they toggle a seemingly unrelated setting. And then we find an uninitalized variable, which means that any random change (for instance, switching from debug to release builds can provoke this) can suddenly cause the variable to have a garbage value.

Fun fact, according to the C/C++ standards, only automatic (local) variables have undefined behavior when uninitialized, globals are supposed to be zero-ed out, however, there are certain platforms and certain compilers where this just doesn't happen, TI actually had a wiki page about how some of their compilers don't do this:

Jeni's is great! The dark chocolate and peanut butter flavor are awesome.
When you get 'your data' ... which you 'purchased' (CDs last longer) ....better check through it to see how many Google links they stuck into it. (Ten years ago, they filled my Blogspot 'download' with them. Syonara forever, chumps.) Note that they want you, the purchaser, to transfer the library to another of their sites. They could do it (considering you've been a 'customer'). Cause they're moving their snake oil act on to the next town.
Depends on the locale. Plenty of us city folks don't have a 'home' for our cars to charge in. Our cars live their whole lives on the road. And quite a few suburb-dwellers seem to park their vehicles on the streets as well.
These are actually all the reasons I built https://fastcomments.com

It was originally just a tiny little project, amazing how things grow.
I did not for one moment believe that my money was at significant risk, given that my investment time horizon is on the order of decades.

The only circumstances I could imagine that would have caused me to lose a significant amount of money in 2020 were on the order of "global catastrophe resulting in widespread death and destruction", greater than what Covid appeared to be even at its worst. At such a point, the last thing on my mind would be the performance of my investment accounts.

That's part of what bothers me about it. If I felt like I was actually taking a risk, I'd a lot feel more "entitled" to what I've received.
With all of the controversy (real or imagined) surrounding the recent elections I think the company who makes the voting machines having an open exploit like this is a bad look.

No one is saying they were hacked this way but it definitely can be used as fodder to bolster election fraud claims (real or imagined.)

Why do you believe you will never be able to start another project worth millions? If you did it once, you can do it again.

You are even starting out ahead as you can impress investors with your past project!
Unless they artificially keep prices high. Full stop. It's not about gasoline, it's about control over energy in any form, concentrated in a small number of hands.
Agreed. Those who fell at the beginning are those who paved the way. Mark is a hero. Nothing less.

Was Dreamweaver an IDE?
Not saurik, but that would involve a whole lot of redundant move constructions (to go from each tuple to the next one) which may or may not be optimized away.

But I think the same problem would apply to any class: you can't construct an object without constructing its fields. The workaround would be to wrap each field in a union so that it can be trivially default constructed, then use placement new. But then where would you track how many fields have been initialized so far? In a separate iterator object? What would the tuple's destructor do?
Is former MIT president Susan Hockfield going to apologize for taking money from Epstein?

Is she going to apologize for not firing Sloan School hedge fund charlatan Gabriel Bitran after he confessed to a $500 million scam that the SEC only discovered by accident while investigating Bitran's buddy Bernie Madoff?

Bitran had a history of sexual harassment at MIT that Hockfield ignored too apparently:

The flip side, the stability he chose is impressive. Not stability in "doesn't crash," but in "everything built on this is still standing."
CentOS 8 is still supported until the end of the year, and 7 until mid-2024.
I run one, and we support migrations from Commento - I already dropped the link once here, don't want to be too spammy :)

I never understood Commento's SSO system. We went with HMAC instead.
As long as you partition it with - say Linux (during installation) you can format the other partition with the other OS installation. You do not need to prepare it in advance before your first installation, I think.
You can only fit so much housing in SF.

That's literally not true. Human density can go far beyond what SF has. In fact, you could fit a lot more people in SF with only part of the city getting higher density.

The idea that each city should "do it's part" has no basis in sane urban planing. We know the current distribution of density isn't useful and this more or less just makes it permanent.
I get how this works but it still doesn't make sense on why i should be able to lend shares that i don't own. The whole idea of shorts in general is kind of messed up. I get shorting is a form of 'Fraud detection', or 'Market stabilization' but betting on a company's failure seems.... not-right.
Article say it is wafer and substrate limited, how would fabs in more countries help?
I love the unfiltered wine thoughts -- we can begin to triangulate the real from the myth with these. Grazie

Also, I'd agree, many folks have never run their own WACC to understand what they sign on to perform in these rounds.

> The market cap of cypto has been rising exponentially

Personal pet peeve -- "a lot" is not synonymous with "exponentially." Crypto's market cap is decidedly sublinear on a logarithmic chart.

> exactly because it is a good store of value

If I pre-mine a trillion units of a cryptocurrency and sell one to my dog for $1 then it has a trillion dollar market cap. Whether or not it's a good store of value is a separate claim which needs independent proof.

> easy to store

So long as you never make any mistakes. Mt. Gox did a decent job at storing crypto for awhile ;)

> highly resistant to manipulation

So long as we pretend that Elon's tweets didn't impact dogecoin by >50% and that more broadly a form of word-of-mouth popularity doesn't affect the general public's chance of investing in crypto.
Isn’t a misleading benchmark the sort of thing you publish when you’re panicking?
The article says it is wafer limited, which wouldn't be related to asml would it?

> ...library of songs...

This is patently false. YTM has a library of tracks and albums that is equivalent to spotify or Google play music. On your phone it's a totally separate app from youtube. In addition to the spotify-esque library of music it can also tap into yt, which has a longer tail of indie stuff.

> ... player is buggy ...

I don't experience exceptional buginess in the player, although there are things that annoy me (same with spotify). However you are moving the goalposts, I thought this was a rant about deleting data? Now it just sounds like a rant about Google changing ux.

* ... merging likes ...

I also did not experience this problem but they did screw up the order of my likes which was very annoying. This complaint is still off topic though.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but right of first refusal doesn’t mean your employer gets to block a transfer of equity outright. It only means that you have to make the same offer to them before you make it to another buyer. If your employee declines the offer, the other buyer is free to accept it.
I said they were hypocrites. Not that it would have an effect. It would end their hypocrisy.
This report is a nothingburger. Clover put out a detailed statement today debunking everything in it. This short-and-distort crap needs to end.
The thing is as adoption increases there will be less charging stations and just spots with EV charging whether its in a home, apartment or street parking. I think the idea of a station where you go to fill up with electricity or gas will become obsolete - it'll be ubiquitous as anywhere can effectively be a gas station for very little investment comparatively.
No. But:

Test-flying unconventional prototype / experimental airplanes, or flying commercially available ultralights? With or without training?

And wingsuits – proximity flying? base jumping? Or just jumping out of a plane?

The risks of those scenarios are magnitudes apart.

Personal aircraft are about as dangerous as motorbikes. Base jumping on the other hand, whether with a wingsuit or not, is one of the most dangerous recreational activities you can do, with a fatality rate of something like 1% per participant per year.

I think Discourse is popular in software and tech related organizations — I see it a lot on such websites.

That is oh so convenient and so wrong. It’s also known as the not my problem argument.

Suppose you lived in England in 1861. Would you choose to do business with the Confederacy? Where is your magic calculator that shows you would do more harm than good by not doing business with them? In reality there isn’t one and you can’t make the calculation based on that. Instead, the magic calculator always swings to do business because it is profitable to do so.

What happened to Google when it left China? Those services just got magically replaced. Search replaced. Streaming replaced. Cloud services replaced.

That was what I meant to imply, but it wasn't very clear. Intel is grasping at whatever straws it can think of since they have lost the fab advantage and their power usage is out of control.
Factorio steam early access started out better than current DSP though and things rarely improve much during early access development. DSP just feels slow and clunky in comparison, just placing down a belt takes forever early game, and later it gets faster but at that point you have blueprints in factorio making factorio still have a much smoother experience.

Also the random undetectable mini elevation changes messing up your building placements making you unable to load stuff from them to the nearby belt are really really annoying.
The plague is true... I was repairing motherboards by replacing vrm capacitors around 2008.
Believe it or not, the activity that drains the battery the fastest on my M1 MacBook Air is video calling. I can expect maybe 8 or 9 hours of battery life if I'm Facetiming all day. With all other workflows (developer workflows, of course), I consistently achieve at least 12 hours of battery (15+ hours is possible on the high end).
My opinion: low end ice cream usually has more sugar. It makes it taste good superficially but it wears on me after awhile. I like it creamy/fatty and I think that is harder to make? (never made ice cream myself)

I look for the fewest ingredients. If I see preservatives or coloring I generally don't buy it. Haagen Daaz is one of the few national brands that is really good about that. Jeni's is really good IMO
Nowadays most people deal with maps on computers. It should be possible to have a map that stores the underlying map data in 3D and projects it on the fly to your 2D display, using different projections at different scales. Maybe use an area preserving projection when zoomed way out, an angle preserving one when zoomed way in, and some kind of mix in between.

Or maybe even let the user specify what they want preserved and use an appropriate projection.

Are there any computer maps that do this?
We're not even close to saturated. On the contrary, we're so far from being saturated that I'm having trouble taking this comment seriously.

To take an example, just a couple days ago the Verge published their review of the Mustang Mach-E [0]; the bottom line was that the car is great but the chargers are impossible to find.

Anecdotally, I built 4 computer labs at a college with Dell optiplex desktops, and a year later, 30 of the 104 had their motherboards replaced due to blown caps. And at the time, the nearest certified tech was 70 miles away, over a mountain pass.
If by "sold out" you mean focusing on delivering value to customers and investors instead of wasting money on frivolous and actually harmful designs, then yes.

Data Science Setup with Swift in 2021
This comical bullshit reminds me of the intentionally-hilarious stuff in Nigerian spam emails, which is designed to be so obviously bogus that it filters out all but the stupidest and most credulous targets.
Apple has the advantage of a 5nm Taiwan process node while Intel is making 10nm chips in Oregon and Arizona. And AMD Ryzen has the advantage of Taiwanese 7nm. Apple is hogging most 5nm capacity to itself because it can use its 800lb Gorilla volume to squeeze out competitors. ("All your 5nm belongs to us or we'll do you like we did nVidia. We've shipped over 1.65 billion devices and no one can afford to say no to us. Like the British Empire of old and the Dutch East India Company we can use the modern equivalent of gunboat diplomacy to force you Asians to do business on terms most favorable to us." [The USA just sent the USS Roosevelt carrier group to the South China sea as I write this, so the old-fashioned gunboat diplomacy never went out of fashion, either.]) Anyhow, it's impressive that Intel can even be in the same ballpark using much larger and much more power hungry 10nm gates made in the good ol' USA. When Intel, AMD, and Apple are all eventually on the same final process node (3nm or 1nm or whatever) I'll be curious to see how Intel then compares. Intel stock P/E is currently a very low 11.78 while Apple is 37.09 and AMD is 42.59.

Is this coordinated image rehabilitation or something?

You authoritatively confirmed that the account is who it says it is as your first involvement in this thread. Was that based on firsthand knowledge? I’m really suspicious about your involvement here and I’m starting to suspect someone figured out just how easily HN can be leveraged if the commentary remains civil and lionizes the right people late on a Friday night when everyone is looking the other way.

People who rescue children from fires are heroes. People who make amends for significant errors, after aggressively trying to obfuscate them for many years, have some measure of retroactive integrity. There’s a difference and while he certainly deserves credit, he’s quite obviously manipulating this discussion in real time (I’m not saying it, but I’m saying it, wink wink).

Call me cynical, call me uncivil, whatever, but what you just said is a giant pile of the absolute worst excrement to ever cross this site. I’m not even involved in this drama, I’ve never speculated on Bitcoin, I have no ill feelings for this person, he cost me nothing, but holy Moses is what you’re doing here one of the most transparent efforts I’ve ever seen.

The more this back room stuff goes on in crypto, where we are all subjected to very public he said she said spats and expected to choose who’s our hero in this adventure and navigate who’s more full of shit, the less claim cryptocurrency has to legitimacy. I’m amazed that’s not obvious to you.
But this particular study isn't one of them. It is completely uncontrolled. That's the problem with HN. People just can't tell the difference between good science and non-science, and they keep upvoting these junk articles.
I think this actually varies a lot across cultures, although one common principle, historically at least, is that justice is less deadly for the rich than it is for the poor. For instance, the concept of blood money reduces the punishment of murder to a fine
The problem is this "Google Union" is a joke. They are more of an activist group than a real union, so it's hard to tell if anything they say is actually true. However, if this person was fired for the reasons the person says, then I applaud the union's attempt to make this person whole. Because I'm skeptical, I think the union does a lot of things to stay in the news cycle, so whether this is true or not, it's hard to know.
60% of US housing is SFH and another 22% are in townhomes, mobile homes, or apartments of 4 or less units. As EVs grow in popularity a huge portion of those housing units are going to adapt, because charging your car overnight is just so much more convenient then spending 15-30 minutes at a charging station, even if that initially means a ton of extenions cords running from garages to driveways or curbs
Yes, there are geographies and regions where people will find it harder or less convenient, but in the US at least its hard to imagine the general trend being anything but at home charging being the rule, with charging stations primarily being available for high use vehicles (delivery trucks, taxis, postal carriers, etc...) and long distance travelers.
I disagree that it's unfair to expect apps to work without reading. Some apps, sure, but I think a taxi application ought to be usable without being able to read. Consider

1. The user is drunk, and can't understand meaning of the text.

2. The user is preoccupied with other tasks, and skips over the words.

3. The user is illiterate. Functional illiteracy is prevalent in the United States, and being unable to recognize the characters of one's own language continues in many countries, too

My company invests in ensuring many of their products are usable for the illiterate. I doubt it's the only company that does so.
