Hey stefan, great to hear! let's catch up soon
For some reason this reminds me of All Mimsy Were the Borogroves.

Some kids find a set of four dimensional educational toys, and figure them out.
In fact, depreciation is a great thing for used car buyers. It means they pay less to buy a car.
Stainless steel would be better, excluding exotic materials. You cant really get iron poisoning.
I agree. I use DDG and Firefox.

I think the thing that pissed me off the most was realizing that searches done in incognito mode (which explicitly implies a level of privacy) are still tied to my Google account (the whole Gaia/ non-Gaia thing).
The problem for me is a good chunk of my entries into Reddit are through Google. Having an app installed means the search results will transition your entire phone into the app, wait for it to load, and then you can't smoothly go back to the Google search results.
It’s completely unintuitive. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

The basic idea is simple enough: if you have a random collection of people, and keep adding more, eventually 2 of them will have the same birthday. If you run that experiment a bunch of times, eventually you’ll get the average number of people where there’s a 50% chance of having a “collision”. The surprising part is that the number is so small: in this case, it’s 23.
100% agree, right now it's like 80$ for a uniswap exchange, 200$ to open a maker vault, 100$ to transfer tokens, etc. I'm really looking forward to eth2 which will hopefully land without too much issues or delays.
When I last had mine out I went a step further. Just a single static HTML page, with a little CSS in the HEAD. A single request for a single file, easily saved. No build or deploy process. No javascript, no stack of dependencies, no docker containers, no dependence on github or any other third-party site.

For a full blog, I would use a static site generator, but not for something well-served by a single static page.

You should definitely look into Erlang then.
Reddit at this point is a native advertising platform (not just the "promoted" stuff; much of the content on popular subs is astroterfing/native advertising too) with some "niche" communities that are always inferior (worse information, less informed members) than the equivalent StackExchange or dedicated website and message board that's been around for decades.

It's a garbage website.
If all it takes to prevent the poisoning of an entire city's water supply is two employees, I certainly hope my governments are choosing to hire those two employees.
Reddit is a company that made people moderate their content for free.

You don't need to know sub names to get some use of it. I append "reddit" to probably 1/3 of my search engine queries. Especially useful when looking for product recommendations.
I know people whose opinions entirely stem heavily from Reddit. What stocks to buy, what products are best, how to dress, how to do your hair, where to travel, where to eat, what music is good, what movies are good, etc.
I'm very interested in getting rid of "Files" and making programs use/manipulate databases more, but the issue of sharing things has always been a problem. Like you say in Android, but also iOS, it's annoying.

However, you've given me the idea of what if instead of registering to handle a file type and giving the user a way to select a file we made sharing better by making applications provide a kind of "Files" view in to their data which may simply be items in their databases. On iOS the app ShellFish provides a seamless view to the files on my servers inside of the Files app and the Files picker of the OS. In macOS the finder's file picker has a section for Photos which lets you select a photo without needing to export it to a specific file. We could instead select from applications on our system instead of going to each application and sharing each piece of data we need.
Agree. A lot of founders and would-be CEOs are power hungry freaks, and they have been for most of their life.
From the article:

> Students were asked to demonstrate through simulated computer-based real-world scenarios the knowledge, judgment, and skills needed to access, process, and communicate information with technology.

I don't think this is about knowing how computer works, but rather about the knowledge and skills needed to work with the information provided by the internet. It is fine without knowing how computer works, but growing up in a generation with a lot more information/disinformation without knowing how to handle them is worrying to me. Also, I wonder if it would be better called 'information literacy' than 'computer literacy' here...
Thank you so much for the reply! Do you hold a role of CTO as well? (:
Couldn't the same be said for owning a stock? You can only get what you can sell them for. If you own 1 million shares of a company which has issued 10 million shares and is trading at $5/share, you can't dump your million shares for $5 million, because the price would change as you were trying to sell it
Uniswap and others will be upgrading to L2 in March so that'll certainly help with the fees.
Come on man, use your words. That stuff is only good for padding papers.

The Romans weren't super consistent either, at least when it came to the size of their military units: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion

> How'd they end up speaking German?

You've probably heard of Anglo Saxons? After the Roman withdrawal came the Anglo Saxon invasion from Germany and Old German became the predominant language of England, even the name comes from these invaders (Angles -> Angle Land -> England). After that the Vikings and French added their layers to varying degrees, Celtic languages remained dominant in Ireland, Scotland and Wales until much later.
Java on Visual Studio Code Update – January 2021
Welcome to the first edition of VS Code update for Java in 2021. We got some questions around how to run tests on VS Code, so in this blog we will walk you through the how. Meanwhile, we will share the news of releasing Azure Spring Cloud extension. The extension is for you to create, manage and deploy apps to Azure Spring Cloud, a fully-managed Azure Service jointly built and operated with VMware. Let’s start.

Most Reddit readers worth real advertising $ use ad blockers of one kind or another. I’m happy for the Reddit team, and hope they’re able to make a responsible revenue stream out of the fundraise.
That language is super cringe. It sounds like a quote from some talk show radio.
I see the disclosures here fairly frequently and rather appreciate the forthrightness because they’re reminders of the ethos here and they also give a perspective and context to the rest of the comment.

Sorry for the meta thread, also interested in the answer to the root comment here about food fortification.

Studies have suggested that vitamin supplements may not do a great job at improving health outcomes.

I wonder how adding vitamins and minerals to food compares to taking a supplement with and without a meal in terms of vitamin and miner absorption rates?
Who did William conquer? The Anglo-Saxons. If you know where Anglia and Saxony are, well, it's easy to see what happened.

German grammar is pretty easy to pick up for English speakers. Lots of sentences are constructed the same way in German and English.
Now you just need to draw attention to it further by posting it in hacker news. I'm sure none of us are curious to immediately see the picture.
"Why was iron low?"
"We don't know."
"It's better now?"
"Yes we fixed it!"

If they don't know what's wrong, how did they know what to fix? This is still fishy to me. Also, shame on the author for using the term "ratted out" when this company was selling a substandard product to Americans.
It’s cheaper to hire a social media person to shill on smaller subs than buy adverts. Reddit is full of blatant advertising as normal posts
They probably just poured more iron into their recipe?

However, I absolutely hate it when people say "We are perhaps/probably/certainly alone in the universe" and then go on to explain why (they think) we are perhaps/probably/certainly alone in the galaxy. These two things are not even slightly the same! Even if there's only on average one technological civilization per galaxy (say), we might well be alone in the milky way but share the universe with a wondrous number of other civilizations.

You mean Old English or Anglo-Saxon. Also, they came not just from what became northern Germany but also from what is now Denmark.

For what it’s worth I don’t think the keyboard layout matters for this purpose. The symmetry helps as long as you already touch type. I was surprised how quickly and easily I adapted, there was a maybe 10% (rough guess) inefficiency. My hand “knew” asdf=jkl; and so on, and the spacebar was easy to adapt to as a context.

As I understand it, the various bits of medieval England could barely agree on units among each other.

"England" is named after the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes that showed up and settled down in England after Roman rule ended. They brought their own proto-Germanic language with them and displaced the local languages- and to some extent people too. French was a comparatively small addition, it contributed a lot of vocabulary and spelling and so on, less so grammar. The Norman invasion was not a lot of actual people- enough to staff up a new aristocratic class speaking French, not enough to displace the local language or people so much.

Does anyone actually have a problem with kB meaning 1024 bytes and MB meaning 1<<20 bytes, etc?

Sure, the kilo-, mega- etc prefixes might literally mean 10^x but as long as one is raised with the understanding that to do so is overly literal, then it’s never really a problem. base = 2 if context == computer else 10

Kibi and mibi feel like this generation’s centripetal force. Another popular and unsolicited explanation I get a lot is about equality vs equity. The distinction might be real but after being corrected for the nth time one feels like I am being corrected for the sake of it than for any real reason.

Reddit badges, btw, are a great example of native advertising. In addition to advertisers badging their native ads, I would guess that most badges on reddit are fake, either automatically awarded by the software to popular posts or given out arbitrarily by reddit staff, with the intent of giving users the impression that it's common for redditors to spend real money to "gild" or otherwise flair posts that they like, so that they might do the same (despite the fact that none of the money goes to the person who authored the post they like).

For those doubting this, remember that Reddit was bootstrapped by Spez and Alexis (by their own admission) posting stories through many sockpuppet accounts to make the early community seem larger and faster-growing than it really was.

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

I think most of them rely on pushshift.it’s probably their api/usage that’s the issue.

One would suppose that for a word of such import there would be a detailed analysis of the work product along with testing they had done to prove it actually worked.

They ought to ask for access to THAT in addition to the source code. One would imagine that it doesn't come with 170k lines of documentation or analysis and it would be orders of magnitude easier to review than the source code alone.
Cheers, and spot on.

I think a good deal of the hate Bitcoin gets is due to people not having much to go on when trying to think about currency generally. Without anything to stand on but the status quo, feelings seem to take over, and they are generally negative, motivating quickly thought up objections, in the mean, anyway.

My baby just started eating solid food. It's really easy to make that kind of baby food at home. Baby formula, on the other hand, is designed for younger babies and is much harder.
Ideally we will be promoted to be mentors to teach the same stuff we've mastered or to handle more difficult/critical parts of the things we're doing.

But in reality, promotion means doing more work that you've never seen before. Usually tedious paperwork. Ironically, you're a noob again and now with less time to do the stuff you're good at.

This is why I hate academe. The professor's tasks has very little to do with what a research student does.
No, it's quite accurate.

Bitcoin is estimated to use somewhere between 5 to 10 GW of power continuously, in total. It produces ~4 transactions per second average. Run the numbers. 7,500,000 kW * (1hours/60minutes) * (minute/60s) * (1s/4transations) = 520 kWh per transactions.

So yes, it is ~500kWh per transactions. Not quite 2500mi- highest efficiency Teslas can do 400mi on a 100kWh pack- but pretty close. Another figure of merit, the average US house uses ~800 kWh a month. A bitcoin transaction takes an entire household for a month's power.

At it's absolute peak, bitcoin processed 500k transactions in a single day. Mid December 2017. 5.7 transactions per second. Hash rate was accelerating at a madcap pace, blocks minted was the highest-by-far per-day. Difficulty rate adjusted & transactions per day fell way off, immediately. Efficiency that day was a bit higher. But still a colossal waste. Probably never to be repeated.

What you say has no basis in fact. Sure, if bitcoin was uninteresting and the hash rate were tiny, it would use a lot less energy. It would/could mint near to the same number of transactions: bitcoin is designed to auto-regulate to the same number of bitcoins a day, it's difficulty goes up, so there's supposed to always be a block every 10 minutes. Which will hold about the same number of transactions, a bit over ~2000 per coin mined, tops. Hypothetically yes, "energy usage is a product of the price of bitcoin", yes, energy usage could be lower, hypothetically. But only if we all agreed not to use it. To stop mining. And honestly, we probably should all agree to not use it. Because every transactions that does happen is a cardinal sin, an egregious lighting on fire a chunk of the planet, a throwing away of capacity that could be going to good, that instead, is waste, for nothing.
You jest, but the percentage of humans have never seen the Milky Way with their naked eyes, since they live in or around some sort of city. Light pollution is so widespread that most people alive today have never experienced a truly clear sky.

Anecdotally, the first time I saw the Milky Way with my bare eyes was almost a religious experience.

You can blame the EPA for mandating chlorination in Seattle's water supply. The watersheds that feed into Seattle drinking water are "Surface Water" and considered high risk by the EPA. This risk assessment is probably more accurate in the rest of the country; our protected watersheds are fairly uncommon. But we don't get any special exemption.

EPA mandates a floor of 0.2 mg/L chlorine for all Surface Water based drinking water supplies at all times[0]. There are additional chlorine requirements depending on what sort of filtration you perform, if any, and how far the first service connection is from the chlorine insertion, in minutes. (They also mandate a safety ceiling of 4 mg/L for all drinking water.) This level is continuously monitored.

Seattle does about 1 mg/L to meet these EPA-imposed requirements.[1]

Chlorine evaporates out of water, so if you don't like the taste, you can just let tap water sit a while. Sunlight helps. Boiling water (e.g., for tea) also removes most of the chlorine.

At the height of the browser wars I once woke up to Microsoft hotlinking a small button for downloading our software from the MSN homepage. I tried to reach someone there for hours but nobody cared enough to do something about it. The image was small (no more than a few K), but the millions of requests that page got were enough to totally kill our server.

Finally, I replaced the image on there with a 'Netscape Now' button. Within 15 minutes the matter was resolved.

Reddit is a top ten site in the US, but is valued at a fraction of its competitors. The main worry I have for reddit moving forward is how do you monetize a userbase that is HIGHLY resistant to change. They're pushing heavily into their new mobile app, which is a solid start as an ad platform, but the old crowd on reddit all came from Digg after Digg tried to change their model to support more revenue. Their users will jump ship if they push too hard / too quick. I love reddit and use it heavily, but I don't see how they become profitable without alienating their userbase.

I’m all for metric for standardization but I do think something is lost with 10-based systems.

Walking is usually measured in pairs, many music systems in fours, many cooking measures in thirds, many art techniques in combinations of thirds and powers of two.

It’s also worth pointing out that as far as I know efforts to 10-base time have failed.
That's a fair point but to extend your analogy facile stick shift drivers have plenty of skills that automatic-only drivers do not. Similarly those of us who grew up with computers that required more interaction and skill to use have skills that the iPad and Android users do not. They weren't forced to learn how to key in games or run them from cassette because apps stores are now ubiquitous. But being challenged to code (as a single example) launched careers for many.

The computer illiterate are lamentable but a natural product of making them easier to use. People who are still interested will find many more resources and free ones to boot on today's internet than early adopters could have dreamed of.
