On the inconvenience front, I think that also makes it clear why so much stuff that would have been blogs, say prior to 2013 to pick a pseudo-random date [1], is that the convenience of various walled gardens got very convenient. It's really easy to post an update to the walled garden social media site of your preference (Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Tumblr, whatever), and with network effects really conveniently easy to have some sense of readership (even if it just Likes or Faves or whatever).

There are some blogs that I realize will never "come back" so long as "everyone is on Twitter these days". Because Twitter is still so much more convenient that blogs (even ones in Markdown + Git).

[1] Okay, not actually random, it was the Google Reader shutdown year. Google Reader provided a lot of convenience to RSS, including social media-like network effects, that almost brought blogs mainstream.

Hi thrwaway2020aug, indeed we could have made a better choice in that regard. Actually we plan to move to JWT in the coming months.

Be asured that we take security very seriously. We are in conversations with banking platforms, and with that in view, we are planning to get a SOC 2 certification very soon.

It's the same as before, clerk.dev does not have it and dashboard.clerk.dev had HSTS when I checked first too. HSTS is sorta irrelevant for .dev though since all of .dev is on the preload list in major browsers. I'd be more worried about the third party JS without SRI. Especially since including third party JS is an active choice while not having headers is an inactive one.

Automation is a form of capital. In an economic system that has conditions for a runaway positive feedback loop of accumulation of capital, in the long term, it benefits primarily those who own the capital. Specifically, it allows them to collect more economic rent from it, and share less with the rest.

Taken to its logical conclusion, when everything is automated, the people who own the automation don't actually need the rest of the population at all - it becomes redundant. Of course, the "redundant" population might have different ideas about itself...

Any company who has software that is used in such a way should have independent review of their source code. It’s amazing to me they didn’t think of this originally and have the necessary endorsements already available for viewing.

Million core processors, with each core in micrometer range, and threads occupying cores permanently. Cores will be assigned to processes like tiktaks (memory). Probably similar to the transition from bytes of ram to kbs of ram. Will be interesting to see how software expands to fill that space. Every program will become a distributed program. Supercomputers of today will be a commodity tomorrow.

Fortunately for you, regaining a strength level that one had in the past is vastly lower effort than what was required to get to that level in the first place. There are many fascinating cellular and molecular causes for the macro-phenomenon that we call "muscle memory" but it is a real thing.

TLDR, your muscles, unlike most tissues, have more than one nucleus per cell. Your "meat", which are protein fibers, can be atrophied through catabolism during diet or dis-use, and this is a form of protein recycling. But the multiplication of nuclei which occurred during your original training does not revert.

So a formerly strong person who let it go is sitting around with a high nuclei/cell ratio, and low muscle tissue. If he resumes his training and calorie surplus, his nuclei will act like parallel processors outputting the commands to manufacture new muscle fiber much faster.
Well the idea of most commodities is that they are purchased because they have utility and can be transformed into something which when sold generates income - Oil is turned to electricity, Sugar is turned into coke, iron is turned into steel which is turned into cars e.t.c.

And the price is determined by supply and demand. Regardless I'm not putting my money into commodity trading anyway because unless you are a manufacturer hedging, or a hedge fund with specific supply / demand modelling, it's not a good thing to hold your personal money in. But these goods have utility and that is why hedging exists - people want them because they want to do something to them in order to generate returns/profit. You buy oil for $1 and utilise your capital to generate electricity worth $3.

Commodities aren't a currency, and don't claim to be, including gold. Gold used to be a currency, but it no longer meets the acceptability criteria.

I'm on the fence about whether this is correct or not. The question in my mind is: do you include military spending in the cost of maintaining a fiat currency and if so to what extent?

Fiat currencies are backed in part by the power of the governments that issue them, so is defense spending a form of "proof of work" for them? If the US government disbanded its military would the USD hold any value for very long? Same goes for any other fiat... e.g. if the PRC disbanded the Chinese military would the Yuan retain much value?

If fiat currencies require a constant demonstration of credible military (and police) capability, that's a rather enormous cost and brings with it quite a bit of resource use and pollution.

(I would guesstimate that Bitcoin would still be less efficient than USD but that the margin would be smaller.)
> that's putting the causality backwards.

Sure, I didn't necessarily claim that my list was literally true. Just a thought exercise.

> you should aim to have interesting experiences and thoughts.

I think is as prone to Goodhart's Law as my suggestion to aim for unhappiness. If you try to deliberately aim for interesting experiences and avoid uninteresting ones, you'll need to gather some data first. So you ask around and see what experiences other people find interesting. But, of course, what could be more uninteresting than doing what everyone else thinks is interesting?

I presume they meant ones who have committed crimes, rather than ones who roughly fit a profile of who might commit homicide.

I agree that profiling someone like this could lead into some serious Minority Report territory where you try to arrest someone "before they commit a crime", which will inevitably sweep up a lot of people who wouldn't have committed such a crime.

Having such a deficit in empathy could be considered a disability, like many others, although not one the individual would necessarily be able to recognise, because to them, an absence of empathy would be "normal".

I pay 3% on every visa transaction, which goes to pay humans who then use energy and pollute.

Paying a few bucks for a Bitcoin blockchain transaction or a few milli-cents for a lightning transaction seems efficient in comparison.
I'm not familiar with genome sequencing, but why are they even relying only on one program? Wouldn't it be possible to check it with different programs to reduce the possibility of failure here?
And just assuming they find a possible bug, would that mean all the sentences based on the programs result will be obsolete?
Right, but the transaction volume is just awfully bad with Bitcoin, so much so that it's a big limitation of the whole system.

It's been clear for a long time that Bitcoin is not suited for small transactions.

Ah, no. The rational conclusion is that you should take the world down with you. Which, I certainly hope would be unsuccessful. But it would definitely be interesting!
Indeed. If bitcoin was more energy efficient, its transaction fees would be lower since the price floor is the basic cost of the inputs. Visa fees can be only a few cents, and they're raking in the profit at that price. Bitcoin fees are currently $13.50.
Sure it could exist without it, but it makes the riskiest actual step of the grift substantially less risky.
What a ridiculous headline. How do you spend clean car credits, exactly?

Hmm, have you ever finished any real world scale product in it? All those things you mentioned are mostly toys that mostly inexperienced programmers are only excited with.

RUST lacks in real world scalability and applicability, it's still toy language even after years of development.
No; every dollar you give to visa (or whatever payment processor) will eventually go to a human who will use energy, pollute, etc.
He's been going off the rails for a while it seems. I've come to feel the human brain isn't really well optimised for handling the type of social integration a few hundred thousand Twitter followers provide.
At least with game streaming services, I suspect advertising resolution serves the double purpose of being understandable to most consumers, while specifically obfuscating bitrate, which is the sacrificed statistic.
I don't associate politics with pessimism. For me, following the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign from a distance was one of the highlights of 2020. Watching the live stream in the middle of the night of Public Enemy's concert from Los Angeles was amazing! Bernie didn't become US president but it felt like it was close. A socialist US president would have been cool. In my country, we don't have nowhere near the same energy and enthusiasm the Bernie Sanders campaign had, but political work is still very rewarding, imo.

I agree though that Hacker News has become very snarky. For example, if you were to write that you find Scala difficult, ten guys would reply by explaining how that makes you a crappy developer. Pointless sharing stuff when all you get back are nitpicks and potshots.

Might not want to use TVDB since it's made up of community contributions but asks money for their api.

Trakt has written a blog post[1] switching all of the shows on their platform over to be backed by TMDB (once the data is on par with TVDB), so it might even be the best data source for series in the future.

So you could choose to use TVDB (paid) or TMDB (free). The data seems to be on par, except for specials[2]. But if you use Trakt's API (free) you'll automatically get the best current source of these two.

FreeBSD as Daily Driver – Day Two
I think Tesla want's to start accepting bitcoin as payment. This is my speculation, but this kind of acquisition makes sense if they also want to render payment in bitcoin.

Alternatively this is just a value storage. Musk went on record saying he thinks stock is overvalued at the beginning of 2020 and then it went on 700% rampage. This could be just that Tesla has more cash than they need and they wanted to store it in an asset sheltered from inflation.
Proof of stake is not secure in the same way as proof of work. Miner collusion attacks are free in PoS, expensive in PoW.
You nailed it! Thanks friend, that’s some wicked writing and thinking.
To be honest, these days I just take it as a given that all critical US infrastructure (the power grid, hospitals, and now apparently water treatment plants) is riddled with time bombs, and that if we were to ever get in a shooting war with the countries which put them there, they'd all go off at once and we'd be in a world of hurt. I hope government/military planners are making the same assumption.

It would be sort of darkly amusing if we've done the same thing to other countries, and so time bombs in infrastructure essentially replace nuclear weapons as the guarantors of Mutually Assured Destruction.

Here's my wild speculation on why Musk did this (and why it's brilliant)

He knows there is a large and growing community of Bitcoin speculators and enthusiasts out there. By "endorsing" Bitcoin in this way, he not only moved the market--further enriching these folks--but also signaled that he is an ally to them, significantly boosting positive sentiment toward him and increasing the likelihood that they will purchase a Tesla as their next vehicle.

In one fell swoop, he not only drove demand for his product, but also made it more affordable to his target market without lowering its cost.
Probably, but it's not an option at this point. There's a 2 hour edit window on comments.
Dogecoin was a joke...Elon has a sense of humor that most people are missing nowdays.

BTC is serious: until FED stops printing money unsustainably, companies need a better store of value.
I think the biggest beneficiary of these benchmarks is Postgres. Its drivers are often the bottleneck and everyone who uses Postgres benefits from more work on them.

This is akin to saying that socialism is about promoting justice, and who isn't for justice? So how can there be people who say they aren't socialists?

People may agree in principle on what the end goal is, but disagree about the method to get there. Today the "environmentalist" is a political label like "liberal", "feminist" etc. It has a simple surface meaning but also comes with a lot of connotations and baggage, so that not everyone is comfortable pinning it on themselves.
Seems like a nice project, might give it a try.
Do you honestly think that the value of Bitcoin would not tank if the value of the US Dollar tanked?
> Objectification is where you disregard all aspects of a person in favor of what they look like

I know the context is largely missing, and I am obviously not telling the OP what they should think in a specific circumstance.

But as you say, objectifying is when an individual is seen only through the prism of a stereotype (though I don’t think it’s necessarily physical, but that’s another story). We tend to get very defensive because we reject others’ judgement (and crave validation at the same time; we’re nothing if not contradictory), but a compliment every now and then is not necessary wrong.

And I know what objectification means ;)

I recognise myself in the rest of your post, it’s uncanny. Are you me?
I have found next-episode.net to be useful for this. I don't think you can get any insider news there but their status has been accurate to know when its been cancelled, or latest word of renewal.
How do we know that the Bitcoin ATM actually spit out cash?

We can prove that A transferred BTC to B thanks to cryptographic signatures. But what if the ATM machine (turning BTC into USD or whatever) on the other side fails? You still have to trust 3rd parties whenever you do an "off chain" transaction.

------

As long as BTC has huge volatility, it fails as a store of value. Swings up, or down, will incentivize "games" to be played with regards to any BTC / USD exchange.
Do you think financial institutions, and skyscrapers they inhabit, would not exist in a BTC-powered world? People won't want to use their BTC to invest in companies on the stock market, trade commodities futures, or issue loans?
Backward propagation computes the gradient of the loss function with respect to the weights. A gradient is a vector or tensor of derivatives. You need to differentiate the loss function somehow to evaluate this vector.

Just a small note: would be nice to have a page describing your security practices.

Congrats on the launch!
Bitcoin subsidizes renewable energies because it offers a base price for excess energy at any time at any place.
Energy is the largest cost in bitcoin mining. Mining moves to the cheapest electricity locations. Renewables are already the cheapest energy source globally, and getting better. So in the mid-term bitcoin mining will move to renewable energy sources, problem solved.
Don't get yourself too down about it compared to her. She moved internally, has a lengthy employment history and was backed by her manager, there was no loss to the company here as knowledge of previous projects would stay with them. There is hardly any way to compete against that from the outside.

People have very strong feelings about self-categorization, whether or not the person's feelings are "accurate". We struggled with accepting gay people. We're struggling now with accepting transgender people. In twenty years the big culture war might be about people who think they were born the wrong ethnicity, or otherkin, or some other area in which our failure to produce an indiscriminate society runs up against the rules of behavior to which we've limited them.
I don't think it is possible to turn someone who is straight gay, anymore than it is possible to turn someone who is gay straight. The exception would be where they're bi, but they would already have had some interest in the same sex, and it wouldn't have come from social conditioning.
