>I agree, they seem to be a scam that once again benefits the rich (lawyers) over the poor (class/clients).

Can you elaborate on this? The ones being paid are "the rich", but so are the people paying. The poor aren't getting much out of this, but it's not like they were going to get anything without a class action. After all, if you thought you could get more, you can always opt out of the class action and sue individually.

Correct that’s why I called it marketing engine. It’s not open about it though.

Modern IDEs often ave basic source control baked in. You don't even need to commit anything. I wonder whether there is any point in using Git for basic version control if those features are already available.
The demo in the article would still run full speed on several year old integrated graphics. Probably chrome blacklisted his gpu driver and it's doing pure cpu rendering (or else his driver itself is bugged in a way that is killing the performance).
I feel like most of these articles want you to remain on the same page while you are scrolling so that they can display more ads to you.
Don't do it unless you plan to treat it seriously.
The New York Times is a corporation with a government-granted charter that grants it things like limited liability. It's fallacious to characterize it as just some ad-hoc "group" of individuals joining together to individually exercise their rights.

And yes, I agree that we don't actually have a free press. Given our microkernel government, institutions like the New York Times are better seen as part of the de facto government than independent organizations speaking truth to power - eg marketing the Iraq war. This relationship is easier to see with say Equifax than NYT, but the dynamic is similar.

How come you just come here telling that deposits in bitfinex creates USDT

But Paolo himself post that all the usdt minted is 'tron replenish' everytime whale alert tweets about 800,000,000 USDT frwshly minted

So, basically, in your intentions to defend USDT you are even contradicting what its own CEO says...

It's also funny how tesla 1.5b investment and microstrategy few millions buy are to be 'celebrated' as big and huge, yet you are trying to convince us there is people depositing 800m daily into bitfinex?
IQ is what you measure in a test. It does not measure creativity, ambition, empathy etc. In fact I have met people that were extraordinary good in university tests but this seemed to be their only ability. Even applying this knowledge in a laboratory or project was difficult for them. Also if you have attention deficit or something it will kill you in a test.

But take kim kardashian or Paris Hilton. Without envy you have to agree that they are very successful entrepreneurs. Yet they likely were not top 5% in SAT scores.
To be fair, that wasn’t “corporate America”, that was the Minister of Unhealth, usually called the Surgeon General:

"Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can't get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!"

https://www.snopes.com/tachyon/2020/05/Screen-Shot-2020-05-1...

The tweet made no sense: if you’re a member of the public, COVID cleverly renders masks ineffective, so leave them for healthcare providers where COVID magically can’t bypass the masks?

The only things more annoying than pretending COVID could discriminate by profession were (a) the additional six to nine months of pretending it wasn’t airborne, and (b) company annoyance with remote work and individual boredom with staying home overriding caution even as the spread hits rates not seen since March/April 2020.

And this is where Corporate America comes in — they are by and large refusing to acknowledge the revision in guidance around it being airborne, since this would require more investment to make safe the butts-in-seats management preferred by non-practitioners in middle and senior levels of firms.
But many of the PhDs minted at first-tier colleges have no career prospects but to teach at second-tier ones, and so forth. You need lots of students down the chain to keep them employed; it's basically a Ponzi scheme.

So you've got problems on two sides: lots of people getting into debt for no reason on one end, and lots of disaffected pseudo-elites on the other. A recipe for destabilization.
Yes it’s a scam and 30 billion dollars deposited in a year is a laughable claim, particularly from a company with a history of lies and fraud. Nobody in the crypto space calls them on it because the fact they get away with it calls into question the entire ecosystem.

I wouldn't dismiss that claim out of hand.

Whenever I am stuck in stop and go traffic, I can hear/feel lane splitting harleys coming from way behind. Sportbikes just whiz by, making you jump, especially if you were thinking of changing lanes.

I don't believe 'loud pipes save lives' is completely bogus.
I'm basically FI and could do that, but the problem is I'd be leaving everyone I know to live alone in a middle of nowhere. Granted, a pretty and picteresque middle of nowhere, but still, it sounds like a recipe for misery. That's why I endure living in a loud and smoggy city...
My life experiences have nothing to do with ignorant generalizations or what you think is impossible. You can either accept what I describe with benefit of the doubt, or you can be a prick trying to moralize, judge, and castigate from the comfort of the armchair quarterback chair. It's your choice.
Picada Letal
The floating power plants from Rosatom are like 70 megawatt, a pittance vs the blackouts Texas saw. The root problem in Texas was insufficient winterization of the grid, caused by the incentives of their energy market approach. This would have still been the case even if Russia had 100 reactors floating off the Texas coast ready to hook up.

There's significant latency in oil supply chains. Weeks if not months. Keeping a refinery online does not somehow keep a power plant online or the lights on in the cities in the proximate sense. Oil refineries are irrelevant to what happened.
Is the risk-adjusted price that the lawyers are being paid unusually high? Lawyers being expensive doesn't really mean "Our tort system is broken".

From this, I think one thing we can deduce is that Ivy League schools select for the same criteria as SCOTUS clerks. We can probably say this is true in other fields, as well.

After all, we see how successful some Ivy dropouts are: Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Matt Damon, Cole Porter, Buckminster Fuller, etc., are just examples from Harvard. It's not the Harvard education that makes one successful, but being the type of person that gets into Harvard in the first place (a person with, i.e., that same combination among old money, connections, a parent who went to Harvard, dumb luck, etc. that they look for in SCOTUS clerks).

I'm not sure we have a list of people who were accepted into an Ivy and decided not to go, but I'm sure those people would be just as likely to be successful.
Free market types love the sticky wages idea because it blames workers for their own unemployment (which is really caused by inequality, incomplete contracts, the unstable dynamics of investment, etc). The irrelevance of sticky wages was sorted out over eighty years ago but people like Cowen pretend otherwise because they need to. And as an empirical matter, wages really aren't even that sticky anyway.
Sorry, typo - it should have said Android 11. I agree that it MIGHT happen at some point, but it's an example (IMO) of how bad the Android ecosystem is, compared to apple. This phone really makes me believe OnePlus is definitely more interested in the next, new hardware, rather than supporting their existing.
This is an interesting topic - I agree with your interpretation, but to add another wrinkle, I live in the UK which has a decent but not amazing proportion of renewable energy now. I pay a little extra to my supplier to provide me with "100% renewable electricity" - meaning that for every customer on that tariff, they total up the power usage and buy at least that much renewable energy from the grid. I assume that this puts some upwards price pressure on renewable energy compared to non renewable, but how much? Presumably every extra watt I use doesn't result in a whole extra watt of renewable capacity being added, but what's the conversion - 5%? 50%? I don't even know where to start answering that question.

Use Kraken. You can change USDT to USD and withdraw money. I've done both.

Thanks for the reference. Spinning up individual containers has become quite easy these days, but agree networking still takes some work to get everything playing together nicely.
Break it down into small incremental bits and dedicate ten minutes per day, every day. Once you've done this regularly for a month or two, you'll have a better sense of where to go from there.
Yes, r/de for Germany is a heavily left leaning sub which routinely bans right opinion (note, I am not saying right extreme).

Don’t dare criticizing communism either, it’s especially fun having West German 18yo students yell at me for disliking socialism as a former Soviet Union citizen.

The Echo Chamber Effect on Social Media
Did you really? You understood the "very clear mechanism"?
Can you repeat the mechanism? Do you know what GnRH and LH/FSH are?

Does this comment prove to you that there is a biological explanation? Or does it say some technical terms that might be disputed? Maybe only a small portion of biologists think this way and the majority disagree!

I understand the English part! What I'm saying is this comment without a source doesn't prove a "very clear mechanism".
Ask HN: Resources for Learning Idiomatic Rust?
I have more or less learned Rust from nostarch's book (which took about a month). However, I am far from being proficient with the language, not because I'm new to programming but because Rust is quite different than other languages I know. Is there a book or resources online that teach how to use the language effectively, such as patterns and best practices or even a cook book with examples?

"Typed raw SQL" is the best we could think of to name this approach. Perhaps hackernews can do better? The common criteria are that SQL must be be validated in situ, and strong typing should be continuous from the database into the application code.
Another dumb question: If they've been buying assets like BTC using the USD that they were supposedly keeping as reserves, shouldn't they have made massive amounts of profits since 2018, and be in a position to now return the USD reserves so that it's 1:1, while keeping billions in profits for themselves?
Someone points out that it might be related to Apple’s nvme controller reporting differently, and that might partially be the case. It it also looks like 16gb RAM machines write less, which suggests it’s caused by a very aggressive swapping solution.
As somebody who will occasionally have a spurt of 2 weeks hard work on a side project in the evenings, before putting it back down for 3 months, I think branches and tests are well worth it. As the saying goes, there's nothing worse than reading code you wrote a year ago.

Having every commit in a branch pass all tests is a little overkill, but gating merges to master/main on tests passing and then having branches squash before merging seems like a happy middle ground. At least that way every commit in master/main has passed tests.
It would be neat if HN could offer something like "Login By Facebook" that returned user/create date/karma. Would make a nice testbed for offering free stuff while having some high pass filter like "HN account > 3 months old and has > 500 karma."
Thanks, at this stage we have no other hardware. We are piggy backing off plant wifi or 4G. We have explored getting our own network gateway so we can bypass corporate networks.

The system can work offline, record the data in the unit and then sync when it comes back into range. Our use case is working all day in the plant, then coming back to the workshop for charging and syncing data at night

Who is 'we'? I don't wish to be included in 'we' and I prefer that the group of 'we' not be in charge of much of anything.
Agreed. If something is explicitly illegal, then that’s grounds for censorship. If something isn’t explicitly illegal, then it shouldn’t be censored. The First Amendment in the US provides for nearly limitless free speech, with very few exceptions. That’s how we should police speech online.
First you say, "I don't know anyone who has ever said this," all the while appealing to the age and authority of your own philosophy. Then I bring you evidence that people have been saying this for 100 years and you imply it's too old to be relevant.

And really, why would I care about whether my ideas would receive good marks or not from the most ego-stroking subject in all of modern academics? My philosophy professor at university was a self-absorbed little man who I didn't envy then and still don't 15 years later. Why would I bother having an authentic discussion with such a person?

Two obvious hallmarks of disingenuous debate are belittlement and sarcasm.

"There's no way to transfer USDT into USD. The few exchanges that say they offer withdraws actually don't if you go and try."

How about Bitfinex? I had some problems with withdrawals there in the past - but now it seems to work.
That's... Wow, kinda absurd.

I checked and it appears they lack Canadian data; and so perhaps I was correct in presuming that such egregious breaching of personal privacy would be troublesome up here. Or maybe WP just doesn't have the data.

FWIW, there are cheap providers of SMS over SIP, now. I have a DID through voip.ms that can send and receive SMS, and it's cheap.
I regularly use nginx to reverse proxy third-party API calls. I use it to protect API keys.

In my case, I strip all cookies and sensitive headers. One must keep in mind that the browser will treat it as a first-party request and the security implications that has. You may have to filter or modify cookies/headers.

> We kept the last generation of hardware around to run the test/demo environment which was end-to-end connected via HL7 to all the other test environments.

If I understand right (and I may not, both your description and the OP), this may violate the OP's prohibition I've quoted below. What do you think?

> "Run an individual service in a shared stateful development environment running all the other services" doesn't count. A shared development environment will be unreliable as it diverges more and more from the real system.

The OP seems to be awfully strict.
Oh, yes, I understand now.

The original post was talking about changing surnames in general so I thought that it was criticising the norm, and my reply was in similar fashion - "why does the norm exist?"

Should have clarified, sorry. It [not changing names] really wouldn't work out well if it wasn't the norm in place as you say, there are plenty of issues that could happen.
Nothing "wrong" with it and there aren't any "issues" in that you won't drop to the ground scratching your head on what to do in a certain situation if you don't change your name. That doesn't mean there aren't advantages to normalizing last names in a household though.

I'm currently engaged and plan on taking her last name after the wedding. Life would go on very large the same way if I didn't the same way it will if I do. The whole problem is overblown.

Tesla Model S Redesign: Look Past the Weird Steering Yoke and See the Future
Mediabiasfactcheck.com Claims that hereistheevidence.com is "low quality", because it links to "low quality" sources. But Mediabiasfactcheck has links to those same sources, so by it's own argument Mediabiasfactcheck is "low quality".

Please don't take the above argument too seriously, my point is that so many of the fact check orgs are riddled with logical fallacies. In this case we have guilt by association, ad hominem, argument from authority, and appeal to motive.

I think a fact check system that did not rely on logical fallacy would be quite useful, however I have yet to find one.

Feldman quite clearly states that Japan moving from deflation to inflation would be the trigger that caused a central bank to increase interest rates (orthodox policy response to inflation) which would increase public debt service costs. So there's no contradiction between central banks affecting bond yields and the effect of the central bank increasing the cost of borrowing being bad for the budget of the Japanese government issuing those bonds.

You'll forgive me for not bothering to defend the half dozen articles Mitchell takes exception to in the second post (though I will say Krugman is given to glib generalisation when writing for mainstream audiences. A quality shared with pretty much every MMT blog going...)

We all apparently care, because we're commenting and talking about it.

The purpose of Ivy league schools is to keep the institution alive. Self preservation. There is nothing fair or even sensible about who gets in and why. It's supposed to be a mystery; a dream you can either achieve through insanely hard work or get in with the right social status or deep pockets. How is this different than anything else in life, or throughout the history of time? If someone's dad can donate a new library and to their jerk off son in, why wouldn't an institution do that? They're private!

Their success lies in a combination of insanely smart students, alumni admissions, "rich kids," and that applicant who's uncle had an affair with so and so and is a personal favor. Education isn't about being "fair" or discourse or any of that. It's to buy a career, into a network (Ivies have large private equity / money ties), or to get a license that is regulated (engineering, nursing, teaching, etc.)

I went to engineering school. I did summer school at my hometown college ("better") than my Alma mater. And guess what? They were both ABET accredited. Same in difficulty. The only difference was the zip code. People went to the prestigious school to get a better job and into a better alumni network, better job placement, etc. That's why you go to Stanford instead of State U Engineering School.

We have to stop kidding ourselves that education is about actually learning. If it was, then we would get rid of college football teams and send everyone and their mother to community college or a trade program. The point of college (in the USA) is to in-debt 18 year olds, dangle carrots in front of them (new houses, cars) and make them slave 9-5 for the rest of eternity.
I do lots of small commits as save checkpoints and new branches for each point of exploration. Rebase/reset to create clean commits. Each final commit is a complete thought.
They might already be—I lived in a city where they were “banned.” And yet I never saw a landscaper using an electric blower; they were always gas.
> or that my first attempt didn't quite pan out as expected.

Actually that's still important, it's just important from an architecture perspective.
Our server went down for a couple of days and if we could "run our system on localhost", I'm positive we would have been back online very quickly as opposed to the multiple days it took to track down stored procedures not in version control. Front-end was left twiddling their thumbs during the outage because the server wouldn't run on local and our frontend wouldn't run without a server (we neglected updating our frontend model mocks for years).

Did we learn our lesson from the outage? A big _nope_. I suspect it's because being able to run a somewhat complicated system on local requires thinking in brand new ways with benefits that aren't very obvious from the outset. After that experience, I sympathize a lot with the author's points and hope to work in an environment (ha!) where spinning up a docker container is all it takes to have a _full_ dev environment.
I find this a horrible usecase for me, I keep my password managers separate from my work provided one and my personal one. Containers don't solve this, and I use profiles, which I have to be thankful for MultiFirefox for fixing it. But only on MacOS.

I don't understand why fixing profiles isn't a priority, I find the usecase for them is completely different to containers which are awesome in a completely different way.
