Malice implies intent, which absent supporting evidence may be an unwarranted assumption. This is a form of attribution bias.

For that matter, assuming stupidity can be an attribution bias as well, as the action being judged may be random, ill-informed, or otherwise subject to additional context of constraints or circumstances we aren't privy to.
> if I violated HN guidelines, so have you, by calling me out in turn.

In a mild way, yes. The guidelines actually say to flag and not comment.

However, I didn’t try to insult you, and there is a difference.

This comment of yours result seems to be just doubling down.

> it's so easy to write off large diverse institutions as "fucking bullshit" and poison a discussion before it even starts

The commenter didn’t actually say this. You are misrepresenting them.

Also, they didn’t poison the discussion. It seems to have proceeded just fine, both in the replies to them, and elsewhere.
The first $12K is normally tax free in the US too (standard deduction.)
in-addr.arpa is for reverse lookups. It is how IPs resolve to names. The address is reversed to allow delegation of IP ranges to DNS servers that are “closer” to the IP address.

Only the absence of a matching in-addr.arpa record would “look up” to the IP itself (by failing to look up to a name).

Bitcoin is between high finance and casinos. Both are highly regulated.
I think your reply reinforces a conclusion I drew from the OP's reply - that the common thread here is to work on _building_ things that exist at lower levels of abstraction, rather than just knowing how to use them as a black box. And in building things, I guess you learn the ins and outs of how they work, which makes you better at using them?

Thanks for the examples. I'd never even think of being able to build my own programming language, or clone of Flask - which I guess is the point, I shouldn't treat these things like black boxes :)
I can really connect to this problem. We used a 3rd party tool chain for a game (compiling obj-c to android) and some devs loved to complain about the state of the tools and that everything is buggy yadayadayada. The whole toolchain was open for us to inspect and fix. In this case it was a matter of responsibility for the other devs. They said it’s not my toolchain I’m not getting paid to do this. But in the end we needed to ship a product. So more often than not a different developer and I looked under the hood and debugged issues and proposed fixes to the vendor. Sure we were not officially getting paid to fix their product but this at least got stuff done and that was in the end what matters.

There is at the moment only one community were I don’t bother to open issues PRs etc. That is the Jenkins ecosystem. It is so darn complicated to get anything pushed up. I proposed a bug fix for some plugin (I think it was the docker plugin) and it stayed in limbo because I did not provide proper tests. I told them that I have no clue how to setup and test the issue. I only know what the cause is and what fixes it. The PR never got merged and I moved on and used a different solution to workaround it (that being not using it on macOS agents which is saner in any case)
Yes, most countries do so you're not double taxed. But you still need to declare, and esp. for Switzerland likely pay extra taxes to the US.

Sure but there are all known issues to any Senior Devs. You don’t have to pull shady hairballs from npm for every little feature you can think of. I’ve ran node in production for the last 5 years so at least to me it counts as battle tested and “boring”.

Would be true if there is healthy competition. And if a significant percentage of potential buyers would know about it and thus avoid NVIDIA. However in reality most customers wont know and they still get the GPU its just expensive which they most likely see as a result of the pandemic.
> Would they only use hearts that were kept pumping right up until they were surgically removed from the donor?

Correct. I went through this with a family member who was struck by a car and later declared brain-dead in hospital—but his heart was still beating, and thus a candidate for heart donation. We said our final goodbyes before he was wheeled away for surgery, heart still beating and looking as alive as ever. The anonymous recipient underwent surgery simultaneously in the same hospital, so presumably the heart only stopped beating for a very short period of time before it was re-started, and it continues on beating to this day (it's a funny feeling, knowing that).

I am not a Go expert so please correct me if I'm wrong, but... The fact that the stdlib HTTP utils in Go recover from panics in handlers and provide no way of changing this via easy setting is one of the things that really annoy me. Seemingly, they consider it a backwards compatibility break since it's a behavior change that would affect all existing middleware you try to use (see e.g. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16542). You need to provide your own error handling middleware (of which several exist).

A beginner needs to be very careful and read the docs to catch e.g. this line:

"If ServeHTTP panics, the server (the caller of ServeHTTP) assumes that the effect of the panic was isolated to the active request. It recovers the panic, logs a stack trace to the server error log, and either closes the network connection or sends an HTTP/2 RST_STREAM, depending on the HTTP protocol. To abort a handler so the client sees an interrupted response but the server doesn't log an error, panic with the value ErrAbortHandler. "

I think that is an unintuitive assumption that makes for brittle software. Also, the fact that Go kind of blesses the use of panics internally in a library (e.g. "The convention in the Go libraries is that even when a package uses panic internally, its external API still presents explicit error return values.", https://blog.golang.org/defer-panic-and-recover) makes for even more brittle software, as predicting what state a control flow interruption like panic through a call stack leaves your data in can be challenging and require great care to avoid invariants being violated. Last I checked, e.g. Rust did not allow the reuse of data owned by a panicking call stack without explicitly asserting that it is still considered valid.

I guess I'm showing my bias for languages that make it harder to make mistakes, but I don't like brittle stuff like encouraging panic-like control flow for non-exceptional situations, implicit reuse of "panicked data", missing non-exhaustive match on enums, missing enums altogether, missing sum types and pattern matching making everything from detailed error management to proper state representation more brittle, etc etc. I'll stop there and not get into the rest of the stuff.

Go is one of the languages my employer pays me to write and I will say that I have a significantly higher appreciation for it now than when I started (it IS very beginner friendly and very ergonomic in general), but I wish it would help me more to write really robust and correct software.
So the manufacturer must have the private keys copied onto every device, so that key must be present and cleartext on every production line.

And at the same time it must prevent leaking of such key.

Not to mention that leaking of such key could happen from the hardware too.
> the silicone they normally bin as gaming cards are being allocated to mining cards.

That's an assumption, it's speculation. If true, it means there will be no 3060s for gamers because they'll sell out as CMP, in contradiction to what Nvidia said. We will see if your assumption comes true...

I don't know why your speculative assumption makes any sense. If the chips that could be sold to gamers were being sold to miners instead and effectively "screwing" gamers, then it means that there's no point to segmenting the market, no advantage for Nvidia. It would be no different than letting miners buy the 3060s, and just not having CMP cards.

> In future miners will be a positive for games as they flood the used market with gaming cards.

That doesn't make up for the losses to gamers up front, it does not compensate by 100%, it can't. It would be better (for gamers) if there was no bubble.

Oh yes, some (many?) employers do prefer those with more to loose.

Years ago I actually had a hiring manager tell me "all of our guys have families" and later "we're really looking for people who want that stability". Direct discrimination against single people. Fortunately I did not get that job, and ended up much better off elsewhere.
I agree with the premise that making is harder than commenting, and this can be frustrating. But I don't think that telling people not to comment is the right solution.

There can be a lot of value in comments, even ones that have not been thought through very deeply. In fact, casual, uninformed comments are often the most valuable as they're representative of how someone new to your product or project will perceive it.

I've found that the keys to getting value out of comments without getting discouraged are:

1. Not to take comments too personally or get defensive about it. They're not attacking you. In fact they're not attacking anything. They're just making an observation. (On rare occasions, you may get a comment from an asshole who really is attacking you personally, but it's pretty easy to tell when this is the case and ignore them).

2. Take a more statistical view on comments. If one person mentions something, maybe they're just an outlier. But if 10 people mention the same thing, they're probably on to something.

> Can you elaborate on what you mean by Societal Costs of crypto?

Here are some of the associated costs of crypto:

- Environmental effects for the energy consumption that is not clean and the corresponding breakeven for clean energy.

- Subsidized costs of energy are a direct cost into governments budget.

- By increasing electricity consumption miners are increasing the demand and therefore the cost. This drives up inequality.

I haven't found a better term than "Societal Costs" that summarizes all these costs.

> This, and the potential of smart contracts that use the "Crypto Dollar" are where I see the most potential.

Absolutely!

Obsessing over the past or the future is indeed dysfunctional - it does impact your ability to focus, and reason (in the present). But I don't believe that most people do this.

Living "in the present" shouldn't be a goal in itself. Minimizing the anxiety caused by past or future events should be the goal. That is almost always better achieved via external actions (performing tasks and/or interacting with involved people), than via internal mindset(s).
There's a surprising number of people who archive and read from NAS/server their physical media. I've always been tempted to believe it was nothing more than a cope-out to justify the existence of software that facilitates mass piracy (because I myself don't see the point of it for anything else than analog media), but it seems to be at least a very active niche.

Or more like it's the scarcity, by definition new tech still doesn't have many experts in it. So if you're one of the few that learns it you're all of a sudden pretty differentiated compared to your peers. Even if the new tech turns out to be pure garbage down the road it doesn't matter because in the meanwhile you can land the hippest jobs and win the admiration of your peers by being so far ahead of everyone else.
I’d argue it’s worse for the environment. These so-called mining cards can’t be used as regular GPUs since they don’t have any outputs - they are compute only. Once they outlive their usefulness they become e-waste since there would be no sustainable secondary market. At least a gaming GPU could be re-sold or otherwise repurposed.
In many ways. Resistive, heat pumps, and electrolysis of hydrogen or production of ammonia to be burned.

> You're right - we are a 'socially cooperative species', and we're good at it. Leave us alone to cooperate and don't invoke some government authority.

Isn't "some government authority" exactly how we as a species go about "socially cooperating" on a larger scale?
Why do you think I’m saying it’s an either or? Wind and solar are an important part of the energy mix. But if you truly care about minimizing the impact our energy use has on the world around us, you have to take a mix of all of it. Wind and solar alone will never rid us of fossil fuels on their own. Nuclear has lots of important properties that make it a much better overall true replacement for our fossil fuel dependence. The data clearly shows that wind and solar paradoxically increase fossil fuel usage. The reason is they lower the cost of energy, which attracts more industry, which requires more fossil fuels in the situations where/when it doesn’t work. Batteries and stored hydro power help but don’t fully solve the problem due to scale/cost. You don’t have to buy the causation argument. We have pretty compelling and consistent A/B environments here to observe the correlation that when you add renewables + nuclear you reduce fossil fuel usage. You add renewables alone, they do not displace fossil fuels.

“Deserts are big” isn’t a compelling argument to me. Oceans are even bigger yet I’m still unhappy with how much pollution goes into them. The only thing deserts have for them is that it’s easy for humans to ignore them and it’s politically easier than “omg scary nucular” (ignoring the fact that coal plants, even so-called “clean coal” emit more radiation in one year than a nuclear plant does over its entire lifetime).

Think of it this way. We still have no data that indicates wind and/or solar can displace coal/gas as energy sources. They primarily displace about 10-20% of our energy mix that usually is other sources anyway (geothermal, hydro, natural gas, etc).

If the test is good, there is nothing wrong with teaching to the test.

Thank you for clarifying that.

After my Kodi 19 broke, I went searching for some discussion on the plugins I use. Pretty much every discussion I saw where the dev of the broken plugin acknowledged the transition did so during last summer.

Not sure if it was just coincidence, or if Kodi said, "look, y'all, we're moving forward! Get on it!"

That makes this release a little better. Still doesn't make releasing a known-unmaintained version on a platform more palatable, though.
The fact that someone is willing to cover the salaries of all of those hangers-on (of which i am one) indicates that, despite all of the friction and frustration they create, there might be value in what they do.

The challenge is for the hangers-on to become waymakers and facilitators, to develop some empathy for the folks that are trying to actually innovate and iterate within the confines they have created.

Roosevelt’s Man in the Area quote sums this up well.

Roosevelt said, wrote, and did a lot of important and poignant things. I'm particularly fond of his speech about how we must stop being hyphenated Americans, and be just Americans. (He was railing against how the nation was balkanizing into "Italian-Americans" and "German-Americans" and "Irish-Americans.")

Sadly, he wasn't perfect. And modern-day internet revisionists who understand neither history, nor context, and expect perfection are rapidly erasing him, his words, and his deeds from history.

It's decentralized in these regards:

- You can run your own root server(s) aka "Moons"[0] so the ZT root is not explicitly required.

- In v2.0 (not avail yet) this will further be enhanced so you'll be able to run your own 100% on your own root server infra if desired.

- The p2p network is can operate in isolation (without internet access) as long as communication with the root can be established.

aye - the Schwarzschild radius of the entire planet is only 8.87 mm. The radius of a 70kg human is 10^12th times smaller than a hydrogen atom. Presuming it is even physically possible for atom massed black holes to exist - hypothetical hydrogen atom black hole would have a radius 10^41 times smaller than a hydrogen atom.

Ultimately the physics of such objects are not well defined, the radius of a hydrogen atom or a proton is defined in terms of electric potentials, calculating the interaction cross section between the quarks in a proton and a hypothetical atom massed black hole is completely ill-defined. At these scales the strong force would dominate - and you'd run into a number of uncomfortable problems which either require hawking radiation to exist or for GR to not conserve energy ( which it doesn't in the classical theory )

but all that being said, whatever collisions created this black hole would surely have left it with a velocity that's a very large fraction of the speed of light.
Yeah by building stuff you come to understand that all abstractions are arbitrary but you also come to understand why previous projects picked the abstractions they did. So it helps even just as a user, you don't have to be building frameworks, languages, databases professionally to benefit here.

Worst case scenario is that society collapses and nuclear knowledge disappears. Then at some point in the future some farmers will get radiation poisoning and others will avoid the area since it’s “cursed”. This hypothetical problem is hardly anything to worry about when nuclear is sorely needed to help us with an actual problem, climate change.

Do you still watch your physical media? Your "pay for what you consume" policy jives with me but I will virtually never watch a physical Bluray.

I wish it was easier to buy DRM free digital media directly from the people who make it. I don't like the ewaste of buying something on a medium I never intend to use and I'd rather pay the creators directly instead of having every person in the physical goods chain take a cut of their profits.
