> is there a way of making sure my future kid will like dinosaurs?

In my experience it's unusual for kids not to be interested in either dinosaurs or fire engines at some point.

I once asked a fire department rep at an open house whether he liked fire engines as a kid. Turns out he loved them--no surprise--and really enjoyed paying it forward with new generations of kids.
This is beautiful work. Good job!
> What I am saying is that [...] there are many times when electricity is given out nearly or completely for free as there is too much of it and it can't be stopped

No, that's a different argument. Your second point says that, not your first. I just replied to your first.

For the second argument, that's less crazy, but still not true. Electricity thrown away is a very very trivial amount compared to the amount Bitcoin uses. And there are still surpluses that are thrown away despite cryptocurrencies using power. Bitcoin doesn't tap into the grid and run only when there is a surplus; virtually all miners run it regardless of the current energy price on wholesale markets. If they didn't, we'd see huge fluctuations in the hash rate and they should match the renewable electricity production closely. It clearly doesn't do that, so apparently it's not being used this way and doesn't fund renewable energy that would otherwise not be built.

> I'm sure they'd happily give that electricity to DeepL too, if they asked.

Oh come on now, that's like arguing that "I'm sure the thief would have given the bike back if asked nicely!" Have you ever heard of a power company asking "who has the best purpose for this power that I'm uselessly producing here?" I've only ever heard "it looks like we'll need more power for <some purpose> soon, therefore we will build <some power plant> in <some place>".
The road? These are footpath pavers.
I'm not a free software zelot or anything, but I do this on my desktop and its not too difficult. As far as I can tell they're aren't any binary blob drivers to install anyway and the standard linux drivers work great.
Just listening to Rob, the founder of this conference and his various podcasts gives me a strange feeling. This guys is like the definition of sociopath. There exists a not so strong contrast between him and Jake Gyllenhaal's character in Nightcrawler.
The original article says nothing about the plastic bricks being used for housing. All the HN criticism about them not being usable for housing is attacking a strawman.
The biggest struggle I had while building web scrappers is scaling Selenium. If you need to launch Selenium hundred of thousands times per month, you need a lot of computer power which is really expensive on EC2.

A couple years ago, I discovered browserless.io which does this job for you and it's amazing. I really don't know how they made this but it just scales without any limit.
Yeah, it's bananas.

I started a new job last year at a place that has a large percentage of their codebase in Python after many years of working with OO and relatively "modern" PHP. Of course, taking PHP's reputation online to heart, you can imagine my glee! To know that I would soon be working with a language that has a little more respect, clout, and professionalism!

Oh, how wrong I was.

One of the first things I noticed was the package management disaster, along with the virtual environment and local/global package issues. Just shy of a year later, and I'm absolutely flabbergasted that Python doesn't get utterly roasted online for how bad and fragmented some of the tooling is. I could go on about other frustrations I have with the broader Python ecosystem, but I'll just leave it at the point that Python folks shouldn't cast _too_ many stones in the direction of JS or PHP without knowing what the current state of tooling in those languages are.

I hope then you can face the desperate residents who don't have the luxury of having a cushy data collection yuppie job like most of us here do then for missing out on a decent wage like and tell them "no it was for your own good, trust me!"
How many people were actually listening to the numbers to determine if they were the correct numbers?

If everyone was focused on trying to catch cheating, they may not have noticed.

I would have tried cheating by only memorizing the first ten and last five digits, then make up the rest in the middle.

The goal was to cheat, not to provide the correct answer.

EDIT: Apparently one of the students who originally was given this test, did in fact use this method [0]:

"Another just memorized the first ten digits of pi and randomly filled in the rest, assuming the instructors would be too lazy to check every digit. His assumption
was correct."

If you click through to the GitHub repo you can get a vague sense of the benefits it may bring and see what kind of access you're giving them, but seeing how sensible people generally aren't into sharing unknown access in return for an unknown value, I'm not sure this will do well until those two points are shared a little more directly from the main page.
I’m honestly surprised we have not seen a blank wafer shortage. I remember the craziness post 2011 earthquake...”well how many wafers do we have”
Isn't that like exactly the sort of thing the interstate commerce clause was originally meant to stop? There shouldn't be such competition between states or local governments, whether real or just negotiation bluff.
Without any source of data, there’s no way to know. There’s just no reason to believe that bitcoiners would have a worse understanding of fiat currency than non-bitcoiners. That would be like saying people who watch nascar don’t seem to understand how tires contribute to traction.
I'm curious to know more about their statement that loading textures in a WebWorker caused additional performance overhead versus loading them in the main thread. I have my own WebWorker based texture loading system and it is significantly better than not using it.

At the risk of stating the obvious, as OP seems pretty well on top of the Web API game, did they remember to mark the texture data ArrayBuffer or ImageBitmap as transferable?

Though, I suppose my metric is "number of dropped frames", not "total time to load" and I haven't actually measured the latter. My project is a WebXR project, so the user is wearing a VR headset, wherin dropped frames are the devil.

I leave browsers open for days/weeks. I save anything I think I'll need to bookmarks or pocket. I like having it wiped when I close it. Which does force me to log back in to email/reddit/HN/etc. I have encrypted applescripts for that though so it's not too annoying.
How about a similar "Appstore Freedom" law for California via ballot proposition? Perhaps EFF can spearhead the process. And Epic Games can bankroll (if out-of-staters cannot fund, then one of Epic's California investors)? Or crowdsource funding for EFF initiative?

Yes, yes I did and stand by my comments. Go has done everything my team has asked of it and done it well. It’s a joy and rock solid. I have code deployed all over the world and Go made that manageable in so many ways. Language is personal choice. Choose what works for your set of engineering and devops challenges.
The reason people worry about their daughters' having an affinity for princess stuff is rational.

It is because, however unfair and wrong, as a society we have associated those symbols with disempowerment and subjugation to men, and our culture has echoed and amplified that association, because it sells.

At the end of the day nobody wants their child disempowered, and many would make the terrible choice of suppressing their child's tendencies in order to protect them from that injustice.
Matz also chose a really particular benchmark to target, and it wasn't Rails. A lot of people missed it forgot that.
Let's also not forget their digital imaging line, specifically their foray into Mirrorless cameras

Sure, they shelved it (Hard to compete with established players who can spread R&D over volume), but people were pretty amazed at how well Samsung did entering that market from a quality standpoint.

Why does that matter? Because that indicates they have plenty of skill in lens manufacture, which is another critical component to a good fab.
If you're gluing existing APIs together it may be true, I'm writing stuff from scratch for the most part and don't open a browser.

Foxconn leaders seemed to be trying to create a big project that appeared to create lots of jobs to appeal to Trump (perhaps so the prez could point to it as jobs created, and then maybe Foxconn would get something out of it?) and less caused by the gov of Wisconsin. I agree it looked obviously like a silly deal that made no sense.
I bash the EU constantly for cookie banners because they are an example of something that is SO ANNOYING that USERS absolutely hate them.

Apple and the EU's approaches to privacy and security are diametrically opposed. Apple has reasonable technical defaults, and is not to intrusive. EU is massive annoyance and intrustion, and limited technical competence.

My guess - if you let users flip a bit in their browser to never have to see a cookie popup again with an auto agree to all forms of tracking, a huge number would do it.

The EU has done more to damage the attention people pay to privacy and security than almost anyone out there.

They seem to not realize that:

1) Users have control over cookies, persistence etc via their browser directly, which would be a great place to start making changes.

2) Popping up a notice for every damn innocuous and obvious use of a cookie is totally annoying to just about everyone.

3) THe amount of time wasted on cookie policies alone is just nuts. The mismash is ridiculous. ICO, CNIL, German and Spanish DPA, UK and EU laws on cookies.
The teacher asked students to move their camera around during the recitation.

The article has more details about some of the creative ways the students "cheated" and how the teacher tried to catch them. The obvious methods wouldn't work in this situation.
> Key part being "while BTC is appreciating". Which seems based more on the greater fool theory than a sustainable asset or currency.

Thats just a failure to understand the value proposition of bitcoin. Its a medium of exchange that has a hard limit on inflation, no greater fool required. Hence, the comparison of ice cubes and fiat currency.
I would also point out if you sell and support SCADA systems, the village is your customer/consumer, which I believe the parent post also alluded to.
Piercing the Fog: Observability Tools from the Future
Tencent Executive Held by China over Links to Corruption Case
The events in Rainbows End depend upon revocation being effective, in particular revocation of a root CA, and very rapidly.

For one thing, "revoking" a root CA isn't a thing, the root's signature is mostly a convenience (it's self-signed) and perhaps in another world roots would exist as distinct documents not as X509 certificates signed by themselves. So there isn't anybody to "revoke" it like other certificates. You can distrust them though.

In the real world lots of systems would never become aware of the revocation/ distrust at all, and there are gatekeepers for many other systems that could become aware (e.g your copy of Chrome or Firefox can learn that a root CA is no longer trusted but it would not do so without humans at Google or Mozilla deciding this was a necessary course of action).

It's necessary to the plot of Rainbows End that this happens unrealistically quickly, Rabbit must be disabled or it will certainly interfere with subsequent events, and it seems Vinge (unlike me) isn't sure exactly what Rabbit is, so this vague technical intervention seems like an effective way to stall Rabbit without thinking too hard about that question.
Check my account history. You'll see I'm very critical of proof of work schemes and you'll find that it goes back to 2012. You'll probably also find me being enthusiastic about Bitcoin until ~2015 when it became clear what it really is. That more and more people are realizing this, especially as the problem gets bigger and bigger, is only hopeful to me.
This is the right answer. The demo failed because the dev team failed to understand the performance and scaling characteristics of the code they wrote. This was a failure of people, not technology.
> The Windows Snipping Tool (RIP) is IMHO the best paradigm for doing screenshots.

Obviously it's a little less popular than either the Windows or Mac versions, but I have to say that the KDE screenshot tool (Spectacle) is astonishingly good.

You can launch it (taking a full screen screenshot right away) with a single keypress, set your preferred capture modes (window capture, rectangle), set a delay, take a screenshot on-click, preview the image instantly in the Spectacle window, copy it to your clipboard, annotate the image inside Spectacle (like Snipping Tool), open the image in a different program, upload it to Imgur, send it to your phone, etc etc. All of these are no more than two clicks away in the program.

It's really just astonishingly good.
No it sets a terrible precedent. Businesses need to support their community. I would willing to bet that the city council will not let it happen. They may cut a deal but it ain't gonna be 100%. More like on the order of 10-25% like other companies get. Corporations are too greedy. I contract for a living and through local contacts never go more than a month between contracts. The job market here is still pretty great for people who have solid backend/embedded skills, in general it's solid for most people. Those other people can go work for the other big guys or the new Tesla plant who actually cut a reasonable tax deal.
Hyping BTC certainly isn't helping the iranian people solve their government problems. Rather I'd say it's doing the opposite.

Anyway, BTC is a bad fit for a modern world in which non-crypto energy needs already outstrip renewable supplies. Maybe we can talk once just feeding and housing the poor and hungry is solved sustainably.
I apologize for not making it more clear. I had been reading all the threads and one common concept was "forced fun".

This comes in various forms as you can read there from very openly forced to very subtly. So if you force me to go go karting I may not complain personally though some others might. But if you force me to do painting or pottery class that changes quite rapidly.
Edit on top because I don’t want to improperly malign the parent commenter or get undue upvotes. I misunderstood the intent of parent comment and my response was to a criticism of sex work/publication of such, not to a criticism of the ways the title might be misread. Leaving my original comment below for posterity/accountability, and for anyone else who comes along and does think it’s inappropriate to discuss sex work.

No it’s not. Besides being a free speech advocate he helped normalize sex work. I doubt his properties have been especially safe and kind to sex workers, but the general population seeing sex work as “normal but maybe icky to some” has certainly made workers’ lives safer and their work overall less likely to be fraudulently exploited.

I’m not a particular champion of Hustler or Larry Flint, but I definitely think sex work generally deserves to be a part of the social contract and not a whisper and a wink.
If the teleprompter is attached to the camera, this would still work.
Linking cement production to global warming issues is at least as strong a connection and similar scale as linking Facebook to whatever bad thing you think they're doing, which is to say, a very vague one.
I agree this is interesting so now we should ask ourselves why does someone(s) want us to hear about it?

Perhaps it is because our lying, satanic, pedophile news, politicians and oligarchs like to soften us up before they harm us with more abuses such as a loss of power or water.

This is how they operate. First they plant the idea or show us what is coming and then they unleash their new lies and trauma upon us.

That's the thing - does it actually decompose at the same rate or slower than eg. concrete or brick?

Gold Market is backed by Governments, bitcoin is not, I doubt it ever will be, and by now it is probably already cornered market.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(1869)
But on the flip side, your original statement of "In fact bitcoin enthusiasts are likely to have a better understanding of fiat than the average person, due to the value proposition of cryptocurrencies." is just as dubious due to the lack of data.

It seems presumptive to think that this entire enterprise is being sustained by ideological purity and noble goals, rather than a ton of people interested in trading a valuable (in fiat!) asset, facilitating capital flight from restrictive regimes, attempting to justify Tesla's stock price, etc. Occam's razor would suggest more people are driven by the profit motive from bitcoin than actually realizing a utopian future.
If you only want to upgrade your kernel once a week, then you are free to do so regardless of how many releases they make during the week. Unless they've been introducing regressions by releasing too aggressively, there's no upside to releasing less often.
I was looking at this just a few days ago ;

"Careful writing about traumatic or uncertain events, past, present or future, appears to produce a variety of benefits, physiological and psychological. Written accounts of trauma positively influence health. Recent investigations have shown that the explicit written description of an ideal future produces similar results. A large body of research conducted in the industrial and business domains also demonstrates that future authoring or goal-setting results in improved productivity and performance." [0]

What 2015 Accords?

They also don't let you blacklist bad dependencies or force certain versions of transitive dependencies.

Poetry is much better than Pipenv and... text files with lists of packages to install. I introduced it at my workplace because of that, but I'm terrified that we'll at some point need some poorly maintained 3rd party dep and end up with a hack that was worse than anything we had before (like, a poetry wrapper that modifies the lock file after every operation).
That seems exceedingly nitpicky given the way headlines get meaningfully edited to say different things here all the time. The words are the same in a different order but grammatically identical.

No, states compete on tax structures all the time. Look at the Amazon headquarters boondoggle a while back, states were falling all over themselves to offer the best tax/infrastructure packages.
The in-person test that inspired this is also quite an interesting read [0], in particular since it draws some conclusions from the methods of cheating used. Definitely a unique assignment, quite indicative of an interesting teacher and class.

Memorizing the numbers is against the spirit of the assignment, and therefore is the ultimate expression of cheating.
