> Selling off 10 btc at the moment on any exchange would tank the price with about 10k usd....

That's just not true and I don't even see any reason how it could be. I am looking at the Binance BTC order book and depth chart and 24 BTC sell orders at 56500 just went through. Price is not crashing.

Mining and whale centralisation are huge problems and downside in crypto depending on how prevalent it is. I am not saying that Bitcoin is not a dangerous investment, that there it is not a speculative bubble. I am just saying that it does not meet the definition of a Ponzi scheme.

There is indeed a lot to critique about the current crypto market but at least make sure the arguments are founded on facts.
Wouldn't the mechanism work wether it's warm or cold relative to body temperature? The relative warmness of the breath could be captured on the way out and heat up incoming air, or it could capture the relative coolness of the breath on the way out and cool down incoming air.
>It was a blood feud going back generations, long before any contact with other societies.

So culturally preserved hatred (which became an outlier over a period of time where other cultures preserved less hatred), not much different than the Hatfields & McCoys.
Yeah to be clear it's not the functionality that bothers me, it's just the syntax. Ideally since it's not even a proper variable since it changes after reading it should probably look like a function call.

These ultra terse shorthands make some sense in the shell because it's meant for interactive, write-only commands but a scripting language should be a little more verbose and consistent IMO.
Yup, how do you obtain trust in a trustless society. Bitcoin nailed it. It's just unfortunate that sending one bitcoin at the moment uses as much power as charging a 100kwh tesla few times.
Mainly because I have and use 5 browsers and can never remember which one I logged into. There is not a chance that I'll remember my password. I wish. There's just way too many. Also don't use a pw manager on my phone due to security reasons.
Did you set your location? I also though the results were pretty bad until I told ddg my location.
You don't need to have arguments online. It is fool's errand to argue with idiots.
It's a common practice for big brokers to have a custody option where your securities are held separately (as far as you are concerned), but usually it comes with more fees. If you don't want to take the risk of brokerage lending, then you have to enable custody and agree to have some extra fees.

Whether the benefits will outweight or not depends on your investment habits and which brokerage you use.
Excellently written and spot on. Unfortunately, I think we'll have to suffer far more before more folks realize what's needed to change trajectory.
I watched the video linked in the article, and I am not sure how they are different from buses? They seem to be completely custom built, making them expensive to maintain or of to build newer larger ones.

Edit: I think I realise now that the difference is that you save having to walk up a flight of stairs to the plane, thus you'll never actually be outside. That is neat, but I am not sure it is worth the expense.

Other airports have gates where the plane is somewhere else, and it's just buses picking you up, since the buses arrive like regular buses, they don't have to wait for the other one to reverse out. And since they are just buses, getting more buses is easy, and possibly a lot cheaper.
Perhaps there is some sound analysis that can be to extract usual info from that audio track, but as far as my ears can tell it's just brown noise. It's like reading the output of a RNG that operated on the surface of Venus; it's hard to say you've learned anything about the planet. (I mean, you've learned the average sound level is above some threshold, but that was pretty obvious from the windspeed data!)
Oh thanks. Yeah, the American empire is socially divided-and-conquered against itself and economically pyramidally-narrowing with ultra rich vs. growing favelas / ultra poor.

Americans have to escape their ruts, become more unified, and act more sensibly, determined, and rationally to assert for a fair shake and better leaders focused on public works, reinvigoration, and better services.

Denver Public Schools has a forced school choice program. In that each parent/guardian must register what school they want their student to go to; there is no default. All schools in DPS are charter schools, with many different focuses and education tactics. It may sound a bit odd, but it's been working for the ~90k students for a few years now.

That said, bullying doesn't seem to be any less or more at DPS. Some quick googling seems to show a few cases of 'extreme' bullying in the local news, but nothing I can really point at to say the bullying is less or more. In the absence of really any stats or evidence, I'd assume bullying is probably the same as in other large metro districts.
I recently tried the Note 3. Very cool device! My impression of the Google Play app support: it works, but the experience isn't as good with 3rd-party apps as it is with the first-party Boox apps. I tried loading the Kobo app, as well as Evernote and OneNote. In the Kobo app, text was not as clear (even on the clearest setting) and the page turning experience was off (it had to sort of re-orient the text). Neither OneNote or Evernote were usable for note-taking with the pen.

All of this is probably to be expected, but I wanted to share because the idea of being able to run any android app is certainly part of the appeal of the device.

It is still a good device, but when comparing it to other e-ink devices on the market, I'd really consider the Google Play support to be a bit more of a novelty than something you would actually use unless you have a very specific use case and don't mind a less than stellar app experience.
Forth is an interesting language but if you are used to modern stuff it is likely going to be an exercise in frustration to get 'something done' unless 'something' happens to be a small soft real time project. So I suggest you start with that and then take it from there.

got a couple:

why does it send traffic to China?

why is audio sent over unencrypted UDP in 2021?

who in their right minds would want to listen to footage of what are essentially meeting recordings. I get why people who are enchanted by their own voice, and want to get on it to hear themselves talk, but why on earth would anyone else want to listen to boring audio of people dialogue. it sounds flippant but it's an honest question. the ratio of those who derive utility from this is skewed tremendously toward the speaker (not the listener)

why no ADA compliance?

why the unenforcable ToS?

why no sane way for users to unsubscribe from the service? (not compliant with GDPR)
Recently I had a client obsessed with the "Jira" version of the world, ignoring the real world. E.g. product wasn't meeting a spec but the spec was irrelevant. But they committed to it in writing/database so we obsessed to improve that useless spec at great cost to customer needs...

To be fair, not just the tool's fault, but the tool does influence perception by looking "official," having "permissions," and inducing sunk cost fallacy by foregrounding how long things are taking. E.g. "We can't admit this spec is useless now... we've put so much time into it, just look at Jira!"

> Comparing IOTA to Nano is like comparing a rock with an atomic bomb (being IOTA the bomb).

For future, when comparing A1 with B1, it's nicer if the order is maintained when comparing A2 with B2 (instead of stating that you're comparing B2 with A2, and that A2 is equivalent of A1)

"Comparing Nano to IOTA is like comparing a rock with an atomic bomb."

Combined with your follow up sentence, describing how Nano has one feature, while IOTA has that same one feature, as well as more features, there's no requirement to explicitly state that you view IOTA to be the bomb in this analogy.

I have no view on the substance of what you wrote, just the way it was written, and wanted to help. I hope this helps, and apologise if it doesn't.
> I am relatively sure that crappy Java code is much more common than crappy Clojure or Haskell code.

I am not sure about it at all.

This also biases demographic toward people who care more about proving they can do hard code then those who want to produce maintainable software. That does not lead to better code.

I use DDG for all searches, and do occasionally go to the second page of results (and sometimes even the third). When I do, I either find what I was looking for there or figure out what I might want to change or exclude from the search for my next query.

For example, this morning, I was looking up micro fans for embedded electronic devices, and did find some good results on the second and third pages. Not exactly what I was looking for, but close enough that it was worth digging in to the results.
Do a search for any politically hot topic, in Google, DuckDuckGo, Swisscows, etc.

Yeah, people call it the everything bubble, when the obvious explanation is the money is being massively debased to pay debt that can't be serviced otherwise.

In all historical episodes of hyperinflation, at the start, everyone holding assets just thinks they are getting rich.
If you want to invest your money in assets, you should be able to do that.

If you want to hold on to your money for whatever reason, you should be able to do that too, right? Many people in the world don't have access to banking services, let alone investment services. In many cases, people with smaller net worths don't necessarily know or understand how these assets work and are easily taken advantage of by "investment advisors".

If you're in a first world country making a good amount of income and have access to financial markets easily, you might not necessarily see the use case as clearly.

Plain structured text for daily goal progress ('2021-02-20 no-hn false'). For structure I use vnlog. For plotting I use R.

I track workouts the same way.

I use OKRs every quarter. KRs are things I need to do every day/ week (workout 90x or read 36x or assemble that one project or set up 13 dates w the wife).

All the text files and scripts live on a private git server. I've been doing this for 6 years now. It works for me because it has a daily component (a few entries in a text file) an easy way to track progress for that dopamine hit (run the plotting scripts).
Oh yeah, personally this insight was much closer to my time in a local music scene after high school compared to my classroom years.

I would start by renaming the department to reflect the idea that the mission is to explore and understand how and why things go wrong socially with the deployment of so-called AI.

I don't know what that name should be. I've had maybe two hours of sleep and this is likely a thing that would require research.

I've had college classes in Social Psychology, Negotiation and Conflict Management and Homelessness and Public Policy. All three of those classes deal with topics you could think of as falling under the umbrella of human ethics. None of them has that word in the title.

You need to first and foremost understand how things happen. You need to understand that before making value judgements concerning ethics.

Speaking of ethics in AI before you even know how and why you get certain outcomes amounts to putting the cart before the horse.

Seeking to understand how things happen for thorny topics inevitably raises hackles.

I was molested and raped as a child. I speak somewhat often on topics like rape and there is a long history of people accusing me of being a rape apologist.

I would like to see rape happen less often in the world. That goal requires one to understand what goes wrong socially without first assuming "Men are just all rapey bastards with hearts of pure evil who do evil things intentionally, knowingly and on purpose."

A lot of people who have already been hurt by the current state of things don't want to understand what happened. They want "justice" by which they typically mean revenge.

You will be facing that same dynamic for AI and issues of racial justice, gendered issues, etc.

Many people will call you a White supremacist or a misogynist for trying to understand what went wrong as neutrally as possible.

But that is the only useful first step for actually redressing a lot of social ills.

Fiction sometimes covers this. People consume it, get jazzed at feeling "their side" understood for once and then routinely fail to actually apply those lessons in life.

Fiction sometimes gives you both sides of a story and lets you see how a+b went kaboom although neither was inherently bad. Research needs to seek that perspective.

Ethics occurs at the point where you apply the research. Simply taking a look at how it happens will not be about ethics and will, in fact, make most people pretty darn uncomfortable.
Honestly I do not observe any 'concerning' here, I've just get downvoted for sharing facts. I hope I would not 'get a chance' to reproduce it because that would mean my work would stop again. I could easily reproduce it with another Mac but I don't have one. And my previous one have gracefully failed completely.

>But there's no reason to believe that based on one person's singular occurrence of the bug.

Some times it depends which person it is. With all modesty I can observe tendencies with Apple bugs for some years now. There are very obvious for me reasons why those bugs appear and why they would appear more. I've got too much of bugs and I've started to talk about some of them because I just can't stand it. Apple should be Way better then this and for me it seems like no one really cares too much. I do care. Product should be done with some love for goodness sake...
Oh, so he is. I wonder if he'll explain I misunderstood him or correct the error.
> I bought a non-M1 Macbook a decade ago and there were absolutely zero issues ... How did things progress so far backwards in stability?

We are talking about a system which just underwent a huge architectural change as well as a new major release of the operating system. I think it is unreasonable to expect the same level of stability as a decades-old architecture only a couple months after release.

You can see in this case the issue is apparently already patched. It seems only with the very first software to have ever shipped on the device would you experience a bug such as this.
The real question is if we will be able to resist this latest round of fear porn from the news media.
You should see an invoice for it on the site. I don't email out receipts, but maybe I should start.

The discounts are still two orders of magnitude more than what people were paying for 10 years of service before, so I don't feel particularly stuck in the same problem. And it will be a nice surprise for me in 2031.

As a non-Apple user I can only say: what?

You have no evidence for this claim, it's just a profusely fantastic image that cleaves to your political bias.

What are you talking about? The overwhelming message I hear is that people cant wait till schools open. And that includes also kids themselves.
There's also a very easy attack vector with pkg installs where an installer can "run software to ensure it's compatible with this machine" that's been there since forever. Not sure if it was removed in Big Sur or not but I hope so.

Zoom used that hole to gain admin permissions and install itself before the user even completed the installation process if the user was admin[1] (and we know most people use admin accounts as their main ones). I'm sure plenty of other malware has done this as well.

If this was simply delivered as a trojan with one of those fake "Flash Player needs updating" type popups, it could have very well abused that.

If it's installing without user interaction the attack vector is a far more advanced 0day exploit chain.

I'll be very interested to find out.

I am also curious about how they can get away with using AWS and Akamai as C&C. Surely now this malware has been found, those providers will just shut down the accounts being used? They'll also have some kind of trail towards whoever's behind it, it's not like AWS takes payment in crypto.

Not GP, but I've been advocating that children learn to defend themselves, both physically and verbally for many years. Here's a gem from a little over five years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11111126

Confrontation is a part of life and it's important to understand response in kind. If someone in school makes fun of your shoes you don't run away or punch them in the face, you make fun of their shirt.

Anti-bullying can't work because the real world does not have referees jumping in to break up non-violent situations. Children need to learn to address their own situations and that the words of their peers are totally meaningless.

This really is an interesting article, and much of the introduction aligns with my experience: I love the concept, wish I had a reason to use Forth, but also I'm not and never have been a hardware person and haven't the foggiest clue what to do with it.

For anyone who isn't familiar with the language, Thinking Forth[1] and Starting Forth[2] are (as far as I know) well-regarded books on the subject.

[1]: http://thinking-forth.sourceforge.net

[2]: https://www.forth.com/starting-forth/

Also, for anyone like me who dearly misses W. Richard Stevens, he wrote a Forth primer in the 70s. You can find it any several other documents on forth.org[3].

In the USA I can ignore rides at will without penalty, which is a recent development (last year or two IIRC). I only drive when it's busy and the rates are up. Uber offer's me a rate, and I choose whether to accept it or not. Even before this, though, I could just go offline when it wasn't busy enough or the rates were too low.

I still have no power to negotiate contract terms though, as the only other company I could contract with is Lyft, and their terms are basically the same.

Nevertheless, driving for Uber is much much more profitable than it was in the early days. Increase in ride demand is the main reason. Tips can also put you to $30/hour pure profit if you know how to be entertaining.

Except now the pandemic has destroyed the market.
> - Technical searches are usually on par with Google, or even better. What made me switch originally was that I got fed up with Google just straight up ignoring half my query, and I've had none of that frustration with DDG.

I think this is such a reductive take of The South. A great tool for understanding a culture is sometimes to place it historically so you can be more objective. For one, The South has more black people and poor than anywhere else in the country, meanwhile liberal states like Oregon, Vermont, and so on are some of the whitest, so the theory that it’s about lack of contact is obviously lacking.

The South places strong emphasis on self-reliance and community, to a degree other areas might consider to a fault. That manifests in wanting smaller government, less outside intervention, close-knit communities and neighbor friendliness, and so on. Someone “whining about how hard life is and begging for handouts” (said by someone from The South) is in their eyes selfishly draining their community because of their lack of self reliance.

To an extent: this is true. The South is relatively poor so they know better than most - there are many people who would rather get handouts than make better decisions. This is also wrong in many cases: many people are poor systematically, and are in a rut where self reliance isn’t enough. There’s tons of complexity to these things that both sides paint black and white.

The South isn’t your culture but mean, like some seem to think. It’s a different culture in many ways. One where pride, self reliance, and community are really important. If you want to have a chance at solving some of these problems and answering these questions you should be aware of this.
