Just because you (unique use case) don't see the problem doesn't mean it does not exist (for the common average user). The whole browser "sync" you get with Chrome is much more than keeping your bookmarks. It is a feature that now includes Google's ecosystem and for its users, the majority of people, it allows them to pick up where they left from. A major advantage in user experience.

Firefox has a long way to catch up to the polish & convenience of Chromium-based browsers. This is just a sad fact.

As for Brave, I won't give divulge too much to the recent tor dns leak news. Anyone knowledgeable enough to be using Tor knows the dangers of using a different browser from Tor and it's consequences.

This is discussed in this bitcointalk thread [1].
By constraining the block size, bitcoin is developing a fee market where transactions have to bid up the fee in order to be included in the next few blocks. Without such a constraint, transactions would only pay around 1 cent to be included (just to cover network broadcast costs), and it's next to impossible to make up for that tiny fee with a huge tx volume.
In the next 3 or 4 halvings, as the block subsidy drops by an order of magnitude, fees will start to dominate the bitcoin block reward.
The exponentially diminishing block subsidy is a bigger problem for less popular PoW coins that fail to develop a fee market, such as Bitcoin Cash.

I am not familiar with NSan (and impatient to read the paper) but a common problem with tools based on higher precision shadow values is that they can be easily defeated by a large cancelation (`(1e200 + 1) - 1e200` will return 0 in both 64 and 200 bits arithmteic).
My solution to this problem (which also has performance benefits) is to use an error-free transform based arithmetic (they give you roughly doubled precision but are also very resilient to cancelation).
See Shaman [0] for a C++ reference implementation, you can change your types and it will display only the significant digits of your results.

If you want something that does not require modifying your source code, I would recommend Verrou [1], a Valgrind-based tool using stochastic arithmetic.

For those interested in the subject, my PhD [1] (which is written in English despite the French title) gives further information on all those methods, their pros and cons.

Benefit is that currently government insures bank deposit, which is subsidy to banking. For example, FDIC does deposit insurance in US. There is cap in FDIC insurance, which complicates large deposit. We can get rid of all these complexity with CBDC.

When intensely focused on solving a problem, or following a day of uninterrupted implementation, I have had programming dreams that go on all night. The dream is nothing but the text of the code (usually highlighted with my custom theme) in a buffer that takes up the whole of my visual field in the dream. I have never been able to make out any particular details of the code, and it is not clear to me whether such dreams are at all productive since they don't get at the abstract level of the problem.

Sure, if you can switch from a Galaxy S10 to an iPhone 11 for free, then your argument might apply.

Apple would just have to take other phones as payment for their phones, and the same in reverse.

The issue isn't one of technology, it's that you're pretty much locked in after spending a lot on a phone.

Dressing a pure function as an object sounds a bit OOP cargo cultish, like promoting weird service "objects" at all costs instead of domain objects that would actually behave like objects (e.g. a ReserveStuffService instead of a StuffReservation).

My solution in this case is similar. Instead of a PayrollCalculator returning a PayrollResult value-object I'd rather have an immutable CalculatedPayroll or PayrollCalculation or something that lazy-calculates and memoizes the necessary values internally, exposing only the taxes, debits etc. variables, and maybe a single method called "precalculate" that would trigger the process eagerly.

I could do new kinds of calculations (California, New York) with simple inheritance: CaliforniaPayrollCalculation, overriding some of the private methods.

Is there a problem with my implementation that will bite me in the ass later?

Kids roll their eyes at the utopian idealism that is anti-bullying programs. They're going to do whatever they want anyhow. And, in order to ensure they get the best lot in life, they're going to claw, scratch, bite, and step-on each other to be sure they end up at the top of the mud hill. That's human nature. You can't put human nature in a box and wish it away. They'll always find an outlet to establish rank.

Thank for adding more info about some of the lawsuits, but you haven't given any evidence for the key claim you made in your original post:

>...Concrete example, Walmart took out life insurance on its employees because they were betting that their horrible working conditions made people more likely to die than the insurance companies thought.

I have seen no evidence that is why Walmart instituted the corporate policy of buying life insurance on their employees. If any evidence of that sort had come out in the various law suits, it would have made headlines all around the world.

Even today many companies buy life insurance on their key employees - that doesn't mean their plan is to treat their key employees so poorly that they have an earlier death.

137-139 was originally about the old lanman broadcast stuff more than "security". They did not want your "network neighborhood" to be populated with your actual neighbors because that's creepy. I assume MS fixed this at some point, and I also assume ISPs will never change this.

That is correct. I actually spend half a day trying to find a way to get aggregate memory usage of Safari.

You can get most of Safari processes using plain ps as they share the same command:

There will be a few system threads (for example used for video rendering) that you will have to tie back to one of the processes using launchctl.

Fun fact: activity monitor actually does it through undocumented private APIs as documented here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/327290/how-process...

Negative rates are only popular because the technocrats can't get expansionary fiscal policy to happen. Because Eurozone governments are boxed in with debt rules.

The paper cites the real-life case of Megan Meier, who hanged herself in 2007 after being bullied by people she thought were her friends — with the added twist of a mother orchestrating the social media bullying scheme.

Yeah. Parents and teachers are probably the people we should be training to behave better, not teenagers caught in a system they didn't design and often desperately wish they could escape.

Edit: I will add that a lot of my social problems in high school were rooted in or exacerbated by teachers holding me up as the example to hate on. They would brag about my high scores as if that somehow reflected positively on their teaching ability (it didn't) and then simultaneously act like if other people weren't doing as well as I was, it was because they weren't trying hard enough or something (disavowing their own responsibility for poor outcomes in the classroom).

That seems to be a norm in schools and is directly related to the described teen behavior in the article.

Exactly. The entry-level tier is far too much to entice users in. They need to introduce a $5/month tier with 100-250GB to get people on board. I’d sign up in a heartbeat at that price point, but I can’t justify $20+ a month for some cloud storage with sync.

I know they’re primarily targeting business users with their features and pricing structure, but it doesn’t mean they should alienate the general user base - one day, someone from that user base will be the one signing the business deals, and they’ll go with what they’ve previously used and trust.
The scientist fighting against the establishment is always a popular twist on a discovery. That's why popular science articles often emphasise this aspect. The reality is much more complex and the above happens very rarely. Regarding physics for example, give me the last theory that went against the establishment and took a generation to be accepted. I really can't think of any in the last 80 years. Maybe EPR, or Bells inequality, but that took so long, because experiments could only be done quite recently. I would also argue it is not really a case of research against the establishment.

Also let's remember that the researchers mentioned by others above, were all running successful labs despite their ideas not being widely accepted. The reason why these theories take so long to be accepted is more a case of "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" than "we don't like the theory".
Independent of Wayland or X11, why should a user not be able to take inputs for their own window (as in, the owning process is run as the same user)? Why does it require a tool that needs extra privileges (that presumably works by doing it at a lower level)?

That's a genuine question — as in, I'm mostly thinking about Windows and how window message handling works with UAC windows. You can send messages to your own windows all day without needing extra permissions, but not other users' windows. I assume that's what you're referring to with the X11 sandbox; is it reasonable to set up Wayland _without_ such a sandbox?

Physics is a special case. Either we are unimaginative or we have truly started reaching the limits of what can and cannot be found. I think it's a mix of both but also I'm not a physicist so don't listen to me too much.

You might accuse me of calling Physicists of being unimaginative but I truly believe that to be the case. The most fascinating topic in this regard is the alcubierre drive; before that concept became famous when I asked any Physicist if we are truly stuck in our solar system for eternity due to light speed limit they said yes, it's actually mathematically absurd to even think of any other possibility. Then this topic comes, and as impossible as it sounds it's at least not absurd mathematically (absurd physically still, sure but I feel theres a difference). So it's wierd that more Physicists are not grabbing at crazy tails like this and truly push what their imagination can conjure up.

I think this is spot on. The tooling is there for C++, but human mistakes are much more prevalent, and the discipline to apply the tooling is not a given.

There should be an industry push for certified Rust tooling, it would save the aerospace and auto industry billions. Or you could use the unsexy but also very good ADA 2012, which is already certified.

I think it's the "external" part of the phrase that's a problem, not the "multiple". She could've sent it to one external party and that still may have been a fire-able offense.

The title of the linked article is Most Teen Bullying Occurs Among Peers Climbing the Social Ladder. I had trouble parsing the HN story title.
But it's not as simple as that though is it? Does this take into account things like HA? Or offsite backups? What about security? I guess this works for someone who sets this up on a single server, perhaps just for themselves. But running services is a lot more complex that just isn't possible as a 1 click install.
I do two things:

1) I take links from there and automatically share them elsewhere. I've got about 2,500 who read them in various places (Twitter/Facebook/Dreamwidth/Livejournal)

2) It's invaluable when I find something debunking the latest nonsense, and can easily find it again 5 years later when the same nonsense resurfaces.
Interesting take!

Could status updates just be another "post type" in wordpress parlance? Then have those post types are treated differently across your site.

They would have their own RSS feed (syndication, yay) as well as a my-feed/ page.

I also agree about the amplification factor. If one wants to acquire readership then one must play the social media game in some form.
Why butcher the headline to incomprehensibility? The actual title is "Most Teen Bullying Occurs Among Peers Climbing the Social Ladder", which is clear. "Most teen bully among friends 4 social hierarchy – anti-bullying programs fail" doesn't make any kind of sense to me.

> Bitcoin is reproducing the same type of wealth distribution we see in real life.

That would be the best it can hope for. But it's very far from that. Just consider that one person (Satoshi) holds ~10% of all bitcoin. Or 2 other people (Winklevii) holding a few %.

The poor distribution is amplified by bitcoin being deflationary and emitting half in just the first 4 years (3/4 in the first 8, etc). A coin with a pure linear emission would at least keep eroding any wealth inequalities.

I do wish they had a command-line version that just ran node without Chromium, but there is a use-case to have a simple foolproof application like this; these days there are a lot of people who need to image drives like this and would be best not to mess with dd on their first time.

And dd doesn't exist for Windows so you've got to use some tool or another like this.

Your speculation doesn't square well with the original whitepaper that preempts your concerns by pointing out how you don't have to run a full node. It introduces SPV and points out you just need to store 80byte block headers (total of 50MB in 2021). (Satoshi was a big believer in SPV)
