In general, I think moderators (on many platforms) have an unnecessary bias against original content. If you made it and you're linking it, you must be an obnoxious shill spamming their own content probably trying to profit off of it.

There's no room in these interpretations for someone selflessly spending their own time and effort to help just for the sake of helping. Reddit mods are particularly exacting on this subject.
> broader money supply hasn't really changed much

Did you zoom out? M2 money supply increased 25.6% in the past year. Might be easier to see at https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2
Googling tells me it’s “a pilot millivolt system”. I guess the downside of this design is that the pilot* is always lit, consuming a certain amount of fuel. Neat old quick start guide for a similar thermostat: http://nebula.wsimg.com/b2bc334b6de3591406ddd01974f01830?Acc...

The site you are referencing is a crowdsourced site. It takes five seconds of looking at the numbers to see that it has incomplete data. Most major public utilities are saying that they are not tracking these storm-related blackouts as “outages” and therefor do not show up on most utility outage maps.

I have family and friends in every place you just said is “not having problems” and I can assure you that you are entirely incorrect.

> I'm sure you can see that a rolling outage affecting 200k people for 4 hours is quite different than an outage affecting four million customers for 3 days.

The 200k customers mentioned is only talking about the numbers from one relatively small provider. If you want to only look at one provider in Texas: Austin Energy, the provider for all of Austin, is currently reporting only 200k customers affected as well. But obviously that’s not the whole picture in Texas, just like 200k isn’t the whole picture in the SPP.

All other providers in the SPP are affected, not just the one in the article. Many more than 200k people were affected, and the blackouts have been happening over the past three days, not four hours.
I don't carry my phone when I go biking. It's either in a plastic bag in one of my rear pockets (the bag is because sweat would damage the phone) or in a phone holder on the handlebar. In both locations the phone is useless to take pictures by tapping a button somewhere on my clothes (same problem with sweat) or on the bike. Of course I don't spend many hours cycling, no more than 12 per week. Still not an insignificant fraction of the time I'm outside my home.

I wonder how that "tap the button and take a picture" works. How do you point the camera to the subject, where is the camera? Not on the phone in my pocket or in a locker at the soccer field.
A sibling comment mentions mDNS, which can work but sometimes requires an extra package.

The simpler solution is to connect your DHCP and DNS servers. Dnsmasq has this built in, and is frankly a fantastic piece of software. If you’re sticking with ISC servers, BIND can be configure to allow dynamic DNS updates, and dhcpd can in turn be configured to manage those updates.
A Nuclear plant went down due to the cold, so you need to add weatherproofing to it, too
See my comment, and actually with that 10% number it doesn't hold true with only 50% of the logic applied.

50/10 vs 4*(unmaintained rate) + undercounting (possibly a large majority, possibly small) is probably React winning out
If you bought 11 months ago at 5,000 you would have made 10x cashing out today. It's never too late to buy in and if so there are other coins.
Yeah, Stack Overflow is for humans and not for websites. A billion websites maintained by 1 person don't count more than 1 website maintained by 1 person. The question is how many web developers nowadays use these technologies during their day to day activities.
it's like a combination between ad-hoc live podcasting and radio call-in shows. your question "what is clubhouse exactly?" is about as straightforward to answer as "what is the internet?". it's a new medium, with all the good and bad that brings.
> Note you can still post answers to older questions; this is actually encouraged!

Although, this can lead to its own weird problems.

I've been learning Objective C, and I've come across a lot of Stack Overflow questions which ask how to do a thing in Objective C, but where all the top answers are in Swift. Sometimes an older Objective C answer is just buried; sometimes it isn't there at all.

I realize that Swift is the newer language, but it's not the one I'm using, and the question was about Objective C.
A big criticism of the current market is that Tethers aren't backed by anything. Nonetheless, there's a huge BTC and USDT and USD trade going on.
That's probably more of a measurement of popular frameworks or libraries pulling in jquery, rather than people wanting to use it for development. Your link suggests a third of the web is wordpress, for example, but wordpress seems to want to eventually remove it as a dependency.
You can run pmOS. Not stock.
The same reason why when you use Venmo you don't think "wait, why use USD at all if it's all a database?"

The truth is, the current financial system is just a large number of databases trying to sync with one another, and one of cryptocurrencies' goal is to decrease this amount of databases.
I hope you and your family stay safe.
In the last couple of years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of search queries I've made ending in "reddit". Not only is it great for answering questions, but it's probably the best place on the internet for getting a relatively less biased opinion on products or services (at least compared to product reviews on websites). I've used it to buy electronics, choose ISPs, and find the parts of town I'd be interested in moving into.
The nastiest community has to be the EE.

This is not a problem particular to Stack Overflow and it's one of my biggest problems with internet culture today. Somehow, at some point in the distant internet past, we all decided culturally that self promotion is bad. Why? I don't know. Maybe someone else can answer.

But the consequence is that sites like Reddit now are rife with stolen unattributed content, while original content is largely frowned upon - Reddit's own guildelines[0] suggest you should be posting a >9:1 ratio of other people's content to your own.

Frankly this is something the newer generation gets right. Zoomers "shamelessly" plug their own original creations - post their soundclouds under their own viral tweets, link to their own onlyfans in their bios, plug their etsy accounts on insta. If you're a creator (a tiny fraction of internet users qualify) you god damn deserve to promote your own stuff!

That's a moot point, Gold actual usage has no relation with its usage as a store of value. It's used as a store of value because it's shiny and people associates it with "value".

Think: why are diamonds so expensive?
This is something you should report to SE (the company) via the contact form with some specific questions where it happened. This would be grounds for a stern conversation/warning at least, and possible mod removal depending on the severity/frequency.
In order to be an active admin for a site, you need to have a lot of free time for it. And it's exactly these mentally inept people who have that time. There needs to be a name for this paradigm.
Even React answers of the past are often class component based... and for my taste the react answers are either slapshot / they work but aren't best practices, or if they are good they rarely explain why you would do A instead of B.
I often have questions closed down and then, later get a badge from stack overflow for having a popular question.
Maybe this will come off as uncharitable but Clubhouse feels like a weird VC version of a pump and dump scheme to me.

Clubhouse doesn’t do anything all that innovative (what can it do that Discord can’t?) and the pitch isn’t even that unique. The key to success was that they got the right VCs. Those VCs use it, get their friends to use it, pull some strings to get celebrities to pop in. It becomes successful but in this really weird way where once you scratch beneath the surface there’s not actually anything there. I think that’s why there’s so much weird grifty content on there.

But hey, it’ll do more than well enough I’m sure. Probably not well enough to go public but it’ll get bought out by [insert name of FAANG here] and everyone will walk away with a tidy profit.

(Purely anecodotal of course, but none of my "normie" friends have mentioned Clubhouse to me once. During the pandemic a lot of the having been using Houseparty. It's a lot of fun. But I rarely see it mentioned on HN. I suspect part of the reason is that it was already sold in 2019 to Epic Games, so no-one is trying to aggressively hype it up any more)
How to profit from a cryptocurrency pump and dump
That 4% constitutes many large shops.
Well, that’s fine. It sounds like Google is more in tune with how you see things, so their rankings are more relevant for you. I was talking about me (as usual).
I set up something like that long time ago with bind + isc-dhcp. You configure the domain and enable nsupdate on it with a key.

Then configure DHCPd to use that key to populate the domain with hosts.

Edit: This is roughly how it is configured: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/265142/isc-dhcpd-to...

If you use different dns/dhcp tools it might be done differently.
Burry it below the frost line, even here, with yearly cold / freezing season, frost line is only 16".

What does the lender use as collateral?

And doesn’t this defeat the point of most loans? People use houses as collateral for mortgages, but other than that aren’t most loans given with substantially less collateral, all the way to zero collateral?

Even mortgages are usually less than 100% collateral. And the house isn’t in escrow! You use it.

Am I missing something fundamental? How does it make sense to borrow $100 and lock up $150 for the lifetime of the loan?
The role of moderation is soul draining - all communities suffer from an Eternal September effect. There's always a someone new who didn't read or disregarded the rules.

I do agree there are those who are simply attracted to the power of moderating a community; what is "Cancel Culture" but that same exercise of power?

When a seasoned, prolific contributor gets disabused you know there's rot in the community; who is doing the moderation without knowing or ever communicating with the top contributors? That I don't get.
What edge cases? Yes, you can most your trademark. It isnt so much as I'd you actively enforce it, but rather if you let the term fall into regular use.
Uniswap Crosses $100B Cumulative Volume Threshold – BeInCrypto
I agree and I'm reminded of the not-earliest days of the Internet when blogs with high-quality, bias-free information ranked high up in search results, instead of Wiki's almost monopolized readings.
Super good question, I was perplexed by this myself.

Basically what this financial instrument allows the borrower to do is maintain exposure to appreciating crypto assets while still leveraging its value for day to day spending.

For example, suppose you owned $1500 worth of BTC. Suppose you’re also bullish on BTC and expect it to appreciate, say 2x in a year. If you liquidated the $1500 to buy a MacBook or something, you’d lose out on that appreciation. Instead, I can lend you $1000 in cash, and you can put your $1500 as collateral (150%). A year later, you pay me back $1120, and then take back your BTC collateral; except by then it may have doubled in value to $3000 (let’s say). In fact, as long as BTC appreciates by at least 12%, the loan pays for itself.

As the lender, I am essentially enabling HODLers by providing them liquidity (in the form of stablecoins). Of course downside for the lender is that the buyer could bail AND the collateral could plunge in value.
To add insult to injury as far as comparing us to the frog in question: the frog likely left. Older experiments show a mix of the frog leaving or staying (unless lobotomized), though contemporary experimentation appears to confirm the frog will leave of it's own accord.

> Simply put, they're power hungry online weirdos that just want to be "in charge" of a community.

It's funny, I actually think that this is true for most of the mods we see online, be it Reddit, SO and the whole SE network, or any other forum.

Comparing SO to Yahoo! Answers is a bit much, though.
There's https://codidact.org – it got started by some disgruntled people after the whole firestorm last year. I never used it though.
I think there are a couple issues with this idea: firstly, they'd be accepting the Bitcoin, so they wouldn't need any on hand to process the purchases. Secondly, if China wants to prevent or restrict the sale of a physical good, especially one as large as a car, it's far easier to stop it from being imported (or manufactured) than to stop people from paying for it.
There's a lot to unpack here, but just to start: How is having search engines be the gatekeepers to knowledge preferable to a community like Wikipedia?

In general yes, but I think Musk's inability to sell Teslas is going to be a major problem for the particular person deciding whether Tesla buys BTC or not.
If you've got tooling to do it efficiently at scale, you could make a whole ton of money
it’s not a successful store of value. it’s volatility is way too high. the gold price changes but it’s actually not very volatile at all intraday. the volatility of btc isn’t decreasing as the price goes up either.

it’s just a succesful speculation instrument as of the current date because it’s at all times high. we’ll see if it stays that way perpetually but that’s not a good store of value.
I don't know about this specific device, but in the past, I have seen a few energy generation devices which look great on paper, but are not feasible in real life for some reason.
Maybe they don't produce enough energy, or they break too often, or need very specific conditions which are very rare...

I think the best way to promote such devices would to be start deploying them and documenting the process. If there are specific plans for a kit, as well as blogs/video evidence showing the device in action, people will be much more likely to believe in the device.

Or alternatively, in the process of making the kit and prototypes, author will discover the real problems. This will be good too, as it'll be opportunity to fix them.
You can't really do that today. In 1980 Frogger was the state of the art of video games, a kid could code a clone of it over a few weekends so the hurdle was reasonable. However modern games takes years to clone even for professionals, even the indie ones, so you banning them from games they haven't made themselves today essentially means you banned them from ever playing games.

The main problem is that basically everything a kid would want to do with computers is already done in neatly packaged binaries, so the reward for exploring is just the exploration itself. And preventing your kids from using those binaries wont make your kid excited to recreate programs from the 80's, it will make your kid resent you as a conservative parent who wants his kid to relive his own childhood.

> Several people claimed comments have absolutely zero value. Therefore their deletion is irrelevant.

The author comments (no pun intended) on why it does have a vote system then, but I'd go further: If comments have no value, why do they even exist? They wouldn't need to be implemented and they're just taking up space.

In many answers I found in SO, comments have been very valuable, sometimes more than the answer.
The West is having crazy snow too, so I assume it is just as bad. Just east of ERCOT is SPP which was also in an EEA3 and very low on capacity. Northeast of them is MISO which is also in an EEA3 event (ready to curtail load) and very low on capacity. So even if they weren't as islanded, they'd still be in a lot of trouble. Both SPP & MISO have also curtailed load which is always the last resort. This thread is focused on the Texas grid being isolated as a primary cause, when natural gas supply and low wind are much bigger problems to me.
What are some use cases? Someone downthread mentioned loaning money where 150% of the money is put in escrow as collateral. This didn’t make any sense to me.

But some of the smartest people I follow are hyped about Defi. So....what can you do with it? Or could you do if adopted.
You (or your wallet, or both... depending of your wallet and your settings) choose the fees you like (the wallet could guesstimate based on the current congestion and your time preference).

The miners then choose the transactions they want to include in a way, as to maximize their gains. As a block can only hold a certain amount of transactions and the limit being set by the weight-units [1], miners will want to prioritize the transactions that offer them bigger fees per weight unit, or usually expressed as sats/vbyte (satoshis per virtual bytes).

So if you don't need a transaction to arrive in the next 1-2 hours, you can lower your fees, and the transaction might pass in the night (although BTC is international, congestion is less on US night time and especially week-ends) or if not, probably in the week-end. If it doesn't clear fast enough, or as fast as hoped, then RBF (replace-by-fee) or CPFP (child-pays-for-parent) might help (manually or an increase of the fee could be automated by the wallet every set amount of time).

TL;DR: there is a free market for transactions, but the price is not dictated by the market (and there is no real bidding system), instead you suggest a fee, and see if any miner around the world wants to include it in a block (and you can adjust if the outcome isn't achieved, which has similar results to a bidding system... but is more like natural supply/demand mechanism, as miner do not guarantee to include a transaction).

Helpful to see current unconfirmed transactions (and sats/vbyte):

It just baffles me how a new social media service in 2021 with a heavy base of tech and crypto enthusiasts is using the exactly same centralized, privately controlled and owned model as the status quo I thought we all agreed on was problematic. Really?

As icing on the cake, you need phone number verification to sign up, something that in an increasing number of countries is practically impossible and maybe even prohibited to get without having it tied to your personal name, address and government ID.

I got several invites to it but no way am I going to be part of the growth of what I consider harmful. They could have done something great here, but it seems it's just a VC grab for money, influence, user data and market share.

I hope they either do a hard pivot or that the service dies in a fire.

Banning the exchanges is about all it would take. Besides, the current chorus is that large companies moving a share of their cash holdings into Bitcoin will drive the price way up. If the government bans Bitcoin then that's not going to happen.
Rubbish. This is a misreading of Jevons being passed around as myth in the bitcoin world. There is no “four stages of value of currency adoption” and in Jevons’ framing gold was an exception in that it was a store of value first.
I'm pretty disappointed by the io/fs documentation. Not a single example, and the overview doesn't explain in what situations you'd even want to use the package.
The argument is the same as before. Apple and Google are using monopoly control of mobile app stores to stifle competition. Existing anti-trust rules are enough to sue and get ruling to break up Apple and Google control of app stores.

More innovation and competition are good things. When mobile app stores are freed, new baby Apple and baby Google type companies can be free to build new services and features.
