The only time these people dare mention firearms is by saying "illegal firearms."

As an avid shooter I detest these types of writers and the financiers that fund them. They promote unfettered distribution of firearms but only want to discuss them in a negative way if the gun is stolen before being used in a crime.

Discussing how legal firearms get used in illegal acts? That would open up discussion about the distribution of small arms in the US. That goes against Reason.com's free market propaganda. Can't have that, so they'll spend their time looking at any other variables trying to tease narratives out of them.

One often overlooked fact is that fixed-price book policy of a lot of countries (like here in Germany where we have it to this day) helped amazon a lot. Books have a margin of around 30% and - by law - you must sell them at a fixed price which is the same in every bookstore in the country. That allowed Amazon to offer free shipping, as the resulting margin was still high enough.

And since you as a consumer have to pay the same price for a book no matter where you buy it anyways, it became a lot easier to just order a book online instead of driving to a bookstore to collect it (oftentimes the shop had to order them anyways and you had to come back a day later to pick it up). Once Amazon was a serious player in the book business with existing logistics, payment etc. it was an easy move for them to expand to other products.
Buddy of mine worked at a company who was tied to IBM closely. IBM was rolling out its first 'cloud' options and he was so excited to get some on demand type resources.

IBM guys walked him through the process. Then he got an email that it would be a few weeks while IBM installed some more servers in their data center.... he looked closer and realized all his actions on the website was just generating emails to someone else who went and did the thing and emailed them back if they were done or not or had to wait.

Later the process resembled an actual cloud solution, albeit a year or two behind everyone else in terms of features and workflow.
I've seen proposals for Digital Governments platforms using blockchain-based democracy that sounded promising.. but because blockchain space is saturated with fintech people, these projects most of the time get run into the ground when colliding with crypto/ico/tokenization philosophies.
As far as I understand (though I could be mistaken) the xstate hooks ensure that the component only re-renders when the machine has "settled" after a transition. I don't see how the dispatch function from useReducer is any different. Both useReducer/dispatch and useMachine/send are sending an event that is then handled before triggering a rerender.
Decentralized exchanges (e.g. uniswap) - users provide all the liquidity, get all the profit, has guarantees etc. Currently eth has high fees (this wasnt the case until recently and wont be in the future with layer 2) so it might look less great but it already has huge traction especially for smaller coins who you'd otherwise have to trade through tiny exchanges that are harder to trust.

Similar for non-currency exchanges (like synthetix) which provide a comparable ways to trade near-arbitrary assets, though admittedly that is less proven to be a clear winner so far.

Libreoffice is an amazing piece of software for writing and spreadsheets. However, it's inability to display written text beautifully has pushed me to Microsoft Word. Libreoffice made zero progress on this in over a decade.
Additionally both Google Docs and Libre fall down if you are doing more comprehensive data analysis.

Google Docs is functionally pretty close to most of excel, but has significantly more restrictions in terms of row count.

Libre office misses key functionality available in the latest office releases last time I checked. Things like unique(), filter(), let() and more recently lamda() really do change the game.
I'm not sure there would be a desire to do so. I think that often trust to some extent is a baseline requirement for most people to do business in the first place.
> Does anyone have any specific examples where blockchain would be a better solution?

Currency, payment processing and banking are definitely the primary use cases - which is nothing short of revolutionary, in my opinion. In less stable/poorer societies, access to banking, trustless payments, and an immutable ledger are immensely valuable.

Even here in the west, I would kill for an alternative to PayPal for international payments. I was recently forced to receive payment via PayPal. Between their 'generous' exchange rates and fees, I lost out on hundreds of dollars. Shortly after, they locked my funds for 25 days while they reviewed my account. I had zero recourse and just had to wait them out. The same transaction on Cardano would've cost 7c plus the cost of exchanging it back to fiat.
An aspect completely missed: human racial blindness. I write FR software, I am lead dev on a leading FR system. The biggest issue I see is a complete disregard for the responsibilities held by the operator of FR software. The operator of FR software has a huge responsibility, and #1 is the ability to distinguish between individuals of an ethnicity other than their own. A simple screening for this ability would be to present a series of photographs of near age siblings and cousins from a range of ethnic demographics. If a person cannot distinguish with absolute accuracy between the photos, they should not be the operator of FR software being used for any life situation altering analysis. The FR operator's job is to be the final verification for the FR software; if they cannot do this task, they should not be the operator. A secondary requirement for any FR software operator is the recognition of the simple fact that the individual being search may not be in the FR database, and any results presented are just similar appearances, and not the search target. These issues are common sense, but common sense is not common anymore.

Last month I bought a season of Shark Tank on Amazon Prime Video for something like $17.99. I queued up the first episode and I noticed something really wonky about the audio - it was only coming out of one speaker. I thought it was my laptop, so I queued up a different episode from the same season - same result. I tried a different video on Prime Video and it worked fine.

Fast forward three days later and I get email from Amazon out of the blue saying they realized the audio of the episodes in the season were messed up. Not only did they fix the audio problems (the next time I queued up an episode, it was fine), but gave me a full refund. This was totally unsolicited and it blew my mind.

>the original data is in such sorry state

How does Blockchain solve that problem?

It's the same issue with using it for supply chain verification, it's dependent upon the point of initial data entry. The Central American farmer enters the tomatoes that he just received via container ship from China into the Blockchain application as "organically grown domestic produce" and from that point forward consumers can rest assured about the tomatoes' authenticity and provenance. Or not.
> It doesn’t seem enough to blame the entire group.

It actually does the opposite, and takes care to not blame the entire group. Right after 9/11, I remember two main domestic messages:

1. A LOT of flag waving. Like, flags on everything.

2. Islam is a religion of peace/Al-Qaeda corrupted Islam/not all Muslims are terrorists/condemnation of racist attacks against Muslims, etc.
>"The tuned circuit, consisting of a coil and a capacitor connected together,

acts as a resonator, similar to a tuning fork.

[64] Electric charge, induced in the antenna by the radio waves, flows rapidly back and forth between the plates of the capacitor through the coil. The circuit has a high impedance at the desired radio signal's frequency, but a low impedance at all other frequencies.[65]"

[...]

>"The earliest crystal receivers

did not have a tuned circuit at all, and just consisted of a crystal detector connected between the antenna and ground, with an earphone across it.

[1][69] Since this circuit lacked any frequency-selective elements besides the broad resonance of the antenna, it had little ability to reject unwanted stations, so all stations within a wide band of frequencies were heard in the earphone[51] (in practice the most powerful usually drowns out the others). It was used in the earliest days of radio, when only one or two stations were within a crystal set's limited range."

[...]

An important principle used in crystal radio design to transfer maximum power to the earphone is

impedance matching

.[51][71] The maximum power is transferred from one part of a circuit to another when the impedance of

one circuit is the complex conjugate of that of the other

; this implies that the two circuits should have

equal resistance

.[1][72][73]

Opinion: There's a lot of great concepts here in this -- the most simplest of radios!
NQ is based on the collective value of the nasdaq 100, which themselves are classified as a commodity by the NFA. I'm not sure if you are being pedantic or not... 75 years ago, the commodities you listed were the only type available on the futures market - but since then, it's no longer the case.
I'm not sure I understand the point of the questions. Why wouldn't I do those things if someone is a friend?

I think the level of trust at the point you do business may in fact mostly be binary. The scale of 'so little trust I need to use blockchain' is pretty high, I'm not sure there are that many reasons to do so.

Google has a terrible reputation for everything aside from search and email. People now expect them to cancel, abandone, or otherwise fuck up any product they announce.

I was referring to the hundreds of users who "reacted" to the bugzilla thread on this issue, but I'm sure it effects many many more.

> I do understand your sentiment. I don't like GNOME myself. But there are alternatives. If you don't like it, try using something else, contributing patches with configurable behavior or maintaining a fork.

Generally I don't use GNOME, on this occasion I was working on a laptop supplied by an employer. The frustrating thing isn't that they don't support a feature that I want, it's that they strip away features that existed before, and completely ignore and talk down to users who tell them that the feature is very useful and much wanted.

> We subdivide modern fantasy into 'epic', 'sword and sorcery', 'low', and so on, even though they have common ancestors.

that's news to me. i personally consider that meticulous categorization of fiction to be tedious and childish. Consider that there are no good definitions of "high" vs "low" fantasy, and that there a few books that are both a) successful (whether you measure this in terms of profitability, popularity, or a combination of both) and b) regimented enough to hold themselves to a dictionary-style definition of what the author is supposed to be writing about.

you're using a definition of fantasy that is frankly not supported by the reality of how we consume and produce said literary works.
Defragmentation is one benefit of garbage collected environments I feel like you don't see mentioned often. Every collector I can think of is capable of compacting its heap so that you are less likely to suffer from fragmentation overhead, and it happens as part of the regular GC flow (though typically not the 'fast' collections) instead of being something you have to go out of your way to trigger at ideal times.

Obviously there are downsides to GC, but it's interesting to see how in this scenario malloc+free had the same "uses way more memory than strictly necessary" problem that people usually pin on garbage collectors.

Nope. All UK road users must follow the Highway Code (although that code is different in Northern Ireland). From https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/introduction

> This Highway Code applies to England, Scotland and Wales. The Highway Code is essential reading for everyone.

> The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, particularly children, older or disabled people, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is important that all road users are aware of the Code and are considerate towards each other. This applies to pedestrians as much as to drivers and riders.

> Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements, and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, given penalty points on your licence or be disqualified from driving. In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison. Such rules are identified by the use of the words ‘MUST/MUST NOT’. In addition, the rule includes an abbreviated reference to the legislation which creates the offence.

> Although failure to comply with the other rules of the Code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under the Traffic Acts (see The road user and the law) to establish liability. This includes rules which use advisory wording such as ‘should/should not’ or ‘do/do not’.
That might be a concern if you try to cram every possible property of the legal code into the blockchain. So maybe don't do that. But if you do, the whole thing is extensible - so it is possible. But don't.

You can’t create economic value without a buyer and a seller, so no it’s not just consumption.

And you cant get an MRI without exchanging something of value (whether paying or with your own money or through taxes).

Hence the creation of economic value on one hand feeds consumer desires and on the other hand creates value that can be spent on things like health care.

You cant have one without the other.
> Internet gambling. If I bet on something, I want the odds to accurately reflect the bets of all the players, and I want to be able to get my money out if I win.

I can't see why a blockchain would help here.

I don't like risk, but I do have recent experience with Internet "gambling" because the previous President of the United States of America persuaded his followers to bet that he'd actually won an election he lost, so I was able to make money answering trivia questions like "Did Donald Trump win the US presidential election in November?" (No).

Although there were some conventional bookies offering this bet, most of the money (as I understand it) went on exchanges, there were hundreds of millions of dollars in the exchange I used. On an exchange they're matching bids against offers, as you would on a stock market, you can either propose odds yourself or you can take the best existing odds somebody else has proposed on the other side of the bet. As with the stock market, when things are liquid enough it's possible to establish a small range of odds in which matches will occur right now, and over time that range changes.

It seemed to me that this offers everything you'd want, the assurance you'll get your money comes down to the institution offering the exchange, and its regulators, but it seems to me this would also be a problem for a hypothetical "blockchain" gambling system.
Glad someone rebutted. I'd like to add the person on the other side of a retail long options trade can be a market marker or people like me that sell to retail for the same reason. :)

I seem to have found a bug. When I use the default match ":espanso" on my terminal (Kitty) it gets expanded to "hi there1", while I expect "Hi there!". Seems to work fine on Firefox.

Edit: Seems like it's an issue with shifted characters? When I type any trigger and erase, for example ":espanso", I expect the first character to be a colon (:) but instead I get a semi-colon (;). Weird.
> in order to be taken seriously I must provide sources, backing, it is not enough to explain my thoughts cogently. I must show other ideas that support what I say. I must acquire a reputation and then, only then, I can say whatever I want.

No one here is actually asking for your sources, so far as I can see. The people who are taking umbrage at your comment are most likely (like me) those who do not see your explanation as cogent but instead an assertion that doesn't even fully explain what is asserting. You're promoting a conspiracy theory--a shadowy "They" who are conspiring to do something--without explaining what the conspiracy actually is. What are the myths being enforced? Why are "They" doing this? Who even is "They"?

> But how does one gather a reputation such that whatever I say will be read mindfully and not just dismissed right out when I start to make reasoning leaps all around? the most direct way is to simply repeat what other people with a reputation have said; to preach to the choir.

In my experience on HN, that reputation is gathered mostly by being seen to speak authoritatively on topics. The highest upvote comments I have gathered are generally when I can put together thorough, concise explanations quickly. It doesn't have to agree with the current zeitgeist, but you do generally want to provide stronger argumentation for your viewpoints in that situation.

I'm not aware of any production use cases where tcmalloc would be worse than glibc malloc in a way that end users would actually feel. tcmalloc and jemalloc are used all over the place in all sorts of different applications.

If glibc malloc is so bad at something like this I find it hard to believe it would be great at anything important if jemalloc/tcmalloc are not.

Yes, that is why I shared it. It is the first times we heard anything from them since this frenzy began.
because the constituencies involved (of both the characters in the book, and the modern audience that consumes them) prefer the absence of a strong federating remote figure, to the ability of being able to imprint/insert themselves as participatory observers of the events.

lack of a strong central nexus gives fantasy writers and readers the opportunity to engage with the story and period on their own terms, instead of being subjugated to what some accidental monarch wants the era to have been.
