Generally I think the blockchain is dumb, but I think recording property ownership would be a good usecase. Don't think about it as a highly structured database, think about it like a filing cabinet that can be accessed from the internet and anyone can contribute to the maintenance of.

> How do you create a new category of mineral rights a hundred years into the blockchain?

Same way you add a category of mineral rights now - you pass a law and you add a category name. Then you start recording documents that track those rights.

I actually think blockchain would be an interesting model for media ownership. Buying movies or other things online is sketchy because your 'property' basically gets tied up in the fortunes of a particular company. 'Buy' a movie from StreamIt.com and they go under? No more movie. I'd love to see a consortium that agrees to use a blockchain system to issue movie rights - the media companies agrees that anyone who has control of a wallet with a 'moviecoin' minted by them has the right to watch that movie. Even if all the original companies go out of buisness, new companies could keep running the network and charge smaller fees for bandwidth to stream you the movie you already own.

Fighting for developers: GitHub policy 2020 in review
This is correct, a .lib file on Windows has a bunch of .obj files in it that you can then link together.

You can also use command files[1] to pass options in instead of using the command line.

I definitely don't have proof. It's all supposition. Reagan going to Japan for $10 million was the first instance that I remember in my life. I think it was because he got rid of import quotas on Japanese cars. Clintons and Rubin got very rich shortly after the repeal of Glass-Steagall. Obama is rich now and his government famously never prosecuted or investigated the banking industry. Tyson foods was a relative unknown until Clinton became President. Halliburton benefited greatly with Cheney as VP. Ajit Pai will likely make a ton of money now that his chairmanship has ended.

None of this is proof but to me it paints a clear picture of regulatory capture and corruption.
Who hands over the money is not relevant, IMO. If we made the entire payment “come from the employee” or “come from the employer”, it’s still logically coming out of the employee’s pay.
> I demured on the fact that British society could put a psycho executive in restraint while my country, a supposed enlightened democracy (the US), can not

The UK's mechanisms for restraining Naughty Monarchs, back when it was relevant, were largely unwritten but pretty extensive; 150 years previously, Charles I had, ah, lost his head about it. The US's mechanisms are limited, written, and, as it turns out, don't work.

It's probably best to keep in mind, though, that George III had a lot less power than the US president; the monarch had basically lost the royal assent (veto) by then, for practical purposes. I'm reasonably sure that by that point the monarch had nothing similar to an executive order, either.
As far as I can tell, any defi project that isn’t an outright scam is just providing credit to people to speculate on cryptocurrencies. I’d be curious to see any counter examples. Otherwise it’s just turtles all the way down.
Thanks for the replies!

One more question if you're up for it: does Espanso suffer from having secure input disabled?

I frequently see this with both aText and Alfred: "Secure input is enabled (by loginwindow)" (aText) & "loginwindow seems to be preventing text expansion by locking secure entry" (Alfred)... with no indication as to how to rectify the situation.
They absolutely are. You don’t get to artificially limit scope just because it suits you. If you get robbed both at the ATM and on the way home you’re still coming back with less cash!
Frankly we're using existing open source to handle this - we use ruby-saml which is maintained by OneLogin for the SAML parsing, but we also wrote a little ts parser for federated metadata files - https://github.com/enterprise-oss/osso-react/blob/main/src/u...
I think the idea is for them to not fly to some hedge fund's dinner party.
There's a trick to get more out of employees that's almost never discussed: Make their life easier.

Childcare for a late meeting is an issue? Why not have childcare at the office? Pay enough and the kitchen improvements are the contractor's problem and not your employee's.
Just basic logical fallacy that "some people are bribed this way, ergo, she was bribed this way".

This is a matter of public record, and she was made $7M in speaking fees in the past two years. It is a small percentage of her income, and not worth more a small fraction the future value of her reputation. The idea Yellen - one of just three living Fed chairs and one of the most influential figures in economics - would do political favors for $300k is honestly ridiculous.

I have asked it elsewhere, but if you want to prevent this, you are making it illegal or disqualifying. I would personally like to know where the line would be drawn for public service. It seems like having an employment relationship would be far more influencing than a speaking engagement. It is important to emphasize this speech is disclosed and public knowledge.
There seems to be the narrative that WSB ruined the retirement accounts of thousands of people. Why do we not hold the person responsible for their actions? Why is it never the fault of the person, but instead "the ephemeral entity" who is to blame?

The guy admitted he was guilty and agreed to a punishment - what value does prosecution serve at this point?
> punish the HFs

This became the goal for some people. The original goal (way back when nobody knew who /u/deepfuckingvalue was) was to get rich on a short squeeze, because the counterparty on that trade had made a dumb gamble. If it had been some pension fund or even just retail investors on the other side that would have been fine too.
Any thoughts to bring it to a place like discord? It sounds like it'd be great for something outside of work too, while we're all on lpckdown anyway.
It doesn't eliminate that. But it gathers evidence. Where did they acquire the 10,000 bananas? Multiple parties must collude -- and then that collusion is on record.

I'm interested in if that data is useful to anyone?

Also, why not trust a central entity with that data?
> It turns out the promise of riches is enough to make any community lose it's collective mind.

Is that really news? I am fairly certain that has been true ever since humans had a currency.
No - this isn't close to true. I'm saying (at least in the US) you need a net-worth of 10M to be in the top 1%. Or, in terms of income, make 500k a year household income.

The Ontario Teacher's Pension Fund averages member 600k per member in assets (200B divided by 330k members). I don't know the Canadian stats but having around 1M in assets as a 60 year old places them around the top 20% or 10% cut-off - not the top 1%.

https://dqydj.com/top-one-percent-united-states/

Regardless, I don't care if people get rich but it is clear that occupy Wall Street was a movement against the perceived notion that billionaires were exploiting the rules - not that teacher's pensions funds were gaining 2% per year more than an index fund.
I've always been a big fan of R Markdown. For me and my work, there's always been a fine line between R Markdown and R Shiny, with certain limitations (or something I felt was a limitation) in R Markdown could be overcome by building it in R Shiny.
Only a tiny fraction of HN posts on any specific topic. HN is effectively filtering their user base to those who care about some specific topic. Often this mixes the experts with the misinformed, but it really depends on the link.

For example, if you post that putting high efficiency solar panels on an EV could significantly offset the need for charging infrastructure people will respond very differently depending on what the original topic was. Aesthetics, implementation, practicality, cost, and your specific calculation etc go from critical to unimportant depending on the topic.
> There are streaming gaming services that don’t deal with latency issues?

No, but those aren’t the only alternatives - consoles, PCs etc, are. Youtube had no established, better alternative to compete with.

You may be right that streaming games won’t suck in the future.

I’m just pointing out that this is not like the YouTube situation at all. Also YouTube didn’t suck even at the beginning.
You can go as complex as your own type system. One type system was added to Racket called Typed Racket. No new features were needed in the language or tooling, they just used Racket macros to build a Racket with static compiler errors which integrates with the IDE.

Two similar cases. One is Typescript. That's a new language with different syntax, a new compiler which targets JS. It also provides its own tooling for IDEs. Another is Python. Over time there were PEPs to add syntax for type hints, and now type systems are being added to the language.

When Racket did this, they were able to do it in Racket without adding more features to the compiler or IDE. There's built in support for static analysis, compiler errors, editor integration. Not to mention a way to organize all the information you need to do type checking in the compile steps, and make that information accessible in the right places. The new type safe Racket was built using plain ol Racket.

There's a reasonably accessible paper about this here: https://www2.ccs.neu.edu/racket/pubs/scheme2007-ctf.pdf

So here are some of my ideas:

1. Play around with static analysis checks. I want to rebuild Typescript style structural inference to Racket. I like how TS is unsound (has no runtime performance penalty for mixing untyped code), and is easily disabled via any if it's in the way. I love the focus on great error messages. Maybe one day I will contribute to Typed Racket :)

Making your own compiler error appear in Racket is just 5 lines of code. https://gist.github.com/srcreigh/a0a087adc26e15af0160e8866d4...

2. New syntax for creating structs. Racket had structs that are initialized like (point 1 2). What if you want keyword syntax ie (point #:x 1 #:y 2)? What if you want that to work with match too? Do you want a JS-style syntax such as (point #:x #:y 2) which pulls in x as an identifier? You can do all this! The rebellion library is pretty awesome in this regard [1], with some sample usage of it in a script here [2].

Stadia the service is free. It's a free console. If you pay $29.99 for Madden 2021, you can play it for free forever (as long as Stadia exists). The ~$12 is a subscription that adds games to your library and is completely optional.
While gp is right about the influx of users (Ive only been around wsb for 4 years or so), which I will address later, I agree with you on the tarnishing tactic being used. What I saw was very open "fuck the big money people" that transcended party lines, often explicitly.

That said, there are sure to be a large portion of "the right", on the sub, as the fact of the matter is that a significant percentage of the US is!

As for what caused the influx, I think you can blame reddit for getting rid of all the edgier communities, and lots of people like that sort of thing, so over the years as a wsb post hit /all the numbers would jump because people would say " hey, I like this place, its edgy and self-deprecating" and over time it changed the demographics. I think back then though people mostly lurked, this influx has caused a lot more mime-posting.
If spending hours a day at 100% utility, SSDs will rarely last 5 years.
The compression is a good thing, it drives the power to the turbine in the first place and also acts like a spring so it'll smooth out the energy impulse from the waves.

One of the big problems with other wave energy systems is the stress from waves is pretty peaky so the generators have to spin up and down a lot and then also deal with storms. In this the air acts like a cushion to the peaks of energy from waves and the whole power generation side can be bypassed in a storm even by just opening another air path.
I think my digital life would be a mess without an RSS feed reader. Because of its existence I do not need to touch Twitter, Reddit, YouTube[1], or any Mastodon instance, for example, as I can just have the updates that interest me from these networks in the comfort of my Feedbin[2] feed.

While Hacker News does not provide an interface that notifies you when someone replies to you, hnrss.org provides an RSS feed for that[3], so I know when I get a reply. I also have a separate feed for Ask HN[4] and Show HN[5], so I never miss anything that may interest me, even if other people do not care about it. Heck, I found this post because it showed up on my feed reader!

As a system administrator, I can use RSS to keep up to date with security issues in Ubuntu Server[6], WordPress[7], and CVEs in general, but also to follow commits in SourceHut repositories[8] and releases for pieces of software I use daily, but do not have repositories for my Linux distribution.

I sure as heck hope it never go away.

[1] In the YouTube case, with RSS, mpv, and youtube-dl, I never even have to see their web interface.

In fact, Feedly was the only large centralized feed reader that didn't do subscriber count reporting via UA string for the longest time. They made you do a GET request on some API endpoint if you wanted to get your subscriber count.

They implemented it some time back, but it's still kind of buggy - at least for my blog. Two or three different IPs periodically do a GET on my feed URL with the Feedly UA and they all report different subscriber counts.
That's an... interesting view of history. I think people do downplay it these days, but there was significant unrest for most of the 19th century.
This looks great. I have been developing interest in CG recently and this looks like a great way to start. Thank you.

All the best.
Those are pretty beefy workstations, does every developer have one or are these really build servers? As I noted you could always throw money at this and end up somewhere reasonable, but it introduces workflow considerations for your devs.
During the transition there's an episode or two of glorious Space Gothic Romance as well. The genre shift is very impressive.
I bet they're going to look into this "cloud" thing.
Agreed, its one of those areas of software that just feels like magic when you code it from scratch and end up with a 3D object on your screen.
I mostly agree with what you're saying.

But the probability that that the average WSB retail investor reconstructs a Robinhood account with superior mean-variance optimization than an index fund, is about the same chance that my dog builds a fusion reactor after getting into my toolbox.
> pump and dump scheme

I don't see why everyone is against pump and dump schemes yet the system is literally designed for them to happen. It's an inevitable fact that they will happen when you set up a free market and a bunch of (stupid) humans from the general public, as also clearly demonstrated in the crypto scene.

If people don't want them to occur, the short-term incentives, market, and exchanges themselves need to be re-structured in a way such that takes into account what a group of humans with free communication would do.
entirely unrelated to the article itself, i'm adding that title to my list of garden-path sentences.
Do you have any proof of this? From what I've seen people are mostly aware they're gambling (it's in the name after all.)
> And, over the years, he has given away more money to charity than owed in taxes, making him very sympathetic to a jury.

It should be the voters‘ decision where the money goes to. Charities can also be a place to store money. If you control them you can also decide where the money is invested in. You just need to put a bit each year into some charitable cause where again you can spend that money buying products from wherever you want.
> I expect Apple will take this very seriously.

This is not a new problem by any means. Apple has been largely ignoring it for many years, only taking action when there's bad PR like now.
> What are the arguments that support this behaviour from a UX point of view?

I wish I could get an answer to this same question. I recently bought an Apple watch, mostly lured by the oximeter, and decided to wear it at night to monitor my sleep too, because after COVID I became a light sleeper.

It knows I'm sleeping, but the damn thing used to tick my wrist at 3 am to congratulate me about closing my movement circle, waking me up. It got better at staying quiet after a couple of weeks, but I had to manually configure a sleep schedule because it can't tell on its own. I blame imprecise machine learning.

I don't think manufacturers have anything to gain by disturbing you, it's just that phones have become increasingly needy on its own, because of all the notifications that we agreed to.

Eh, i know nothing on the subject - BUT - from people more informed than I, it sounds like the hedge funds were bullying the stock into the ground to make a profit. While not strictly a "house edge", i'd call that close - in that the funds available to a select few have more power than you in this case.

They have the odds stacked in their favor by nature of the size of their pockets and the ease by which they can flex this muscle to manipulate stocks in the direction they choose.

Sure, individuals could coordinate to flex similar levels of funds but even ignoring legality it's still difficult.

> even if a billionaire does get caught and pays all their back-taxes with penalties, they will still most likely be a billionaire and be able to sustain a pretty posh lifestyle

By that logic, if they just pay their taxes it won't affect their lifestyle either, so their incentive to cheat is also lower.

> the payoff for a billionaire successfully cheating on their taxes is much higher than for a non-billionaire

In absolute terms, sure. And in absolute terms the penalties are much bigger too.

> the IRS prosecutes a lot more low-income people than high-income people (by percentage as well as by absolute numbers) so a billionaire has much better odds of not getting caught

Your conclusion doesn't follow from your evidence. It's possible that low income people are cheating taxes at a higher rate than billionaires. I really don't have a lot of trouble believing this; small tax fraud is widespread, even accepted by a lot of people.

> billionaires have access to better layers, accountants, publicists and politicians to give them negotiating leverage if they do get caught

I don't see any evidence that this guy got a better deal than he should have.

The point of tax enforcement is not to punish billionaires for being billionaires. The point of tax enforcement is to ensure taxes are collected. If you think taxes are too low, or just want to punish billionaires more harshly because they're billionaires, then Congress is the place that has to be changed.
I remember for me during 2008 I finally understood how NOTHING has intrinsic value, it’s always about what others perceive in the market. Real estate, dollars, gold, stock all arbitrary in a way I never considered. All built on sand.
If your goal is to keep the company going, you have to adapt to survive. Yes it's tricky, and you can simply jump off the bridge if you want, or you can actually try.

This is a long standing issue in various open source projects that use Go, where they want to ship static binaries.

Most recently, this happened with Concourse and it's Fly binary: https://github.com/concourse/concourse/issues/3691

The developers don't want to use CGO, or when they do use CGO they disable the net part... and now stuff doesn't work.

Projects have to specifically build with cgo enabled on macOS, or else it fails.
I can appreciate the authors anger at being filtered through a process that denies employment based on a lack of a degree. I don't disagree that there is a problem, I believe the author lacks a clear vision of what exactly to do about the problem.

For senior level roles you do need someway to determine who can actually perform the job, qualifications will discriminate against some pool of candidates. If you require experience you are discriminating based on age, if you require a professional certification you are discriminating against those who haven't achieved the certification.

The question seems to be what to do about other roles, like writer, or developer where the pool of applicants can be large. How do you filter out unqualified candidates? Whatever metric you choose becomes the new factor of discrimination.

A college degree is an easy button in some sense. It proves you can stick with a long term goal. It proves you can pass some sort of basic tests. It shows you potentially have some of the qualities required. It's not guaranteed, there are horrible lawyers who passed the bar.
hopefully the virus continues evolving ever second all over the world so we can never have any cure and it never stops. hopefully billionaires lose all there money.
Pension funds are not buy and hold as a rule. They also invest in a variety of other vehicles, including hedge funds with different strategies. I guess you could say they buy and hold in the hedge fund, but that's different. Very conceivable that a pension fund had a meaningful uptick because one of the funds it invests in timed GME's crash well.
Hindsight is 20/20. Being the guy on the sidelines saying "I knew this was gonna happen" after the fact never adds any value. It's you trying to make yourself feel special.
