As much as we hear about things like M1 money supply, the vast majority of wealth doesn’t exist in the form of cash. Investors hold companies, stocks, real estate, and so on. Fluctuations in money supply (or demand for currency) have exaggerated significance in online crypto discussions because crypto proponents find that angle more favorable to their “buy crypto” argument, not because it’s the full picture.

The global reserve currency issue is worth watching, but remember that it isn’t a binary on/off switch where everyone changes overnight. Likewise, it’s not really true that USD is the global reserve currency so much as one of the most trusted. Again, crypto proponents like to suggest the collapse of the US currency is imminent, but the global market believes otherwise. Likewise, crypto proponents want you to believe that Bitcoin is the logical alternative, but again that’s missing the point that part of the reserve currency math depends on things like stability, resistance to manipulation, and backing of a powerful government.

>In a way, the digital giveaway could even be seen as an effective promotion, luring players back to the games and creating the potential for them to spend more on additional microtransactions down the road.

That's the current plan! In particular, because we want to allow language communities to implement support for their own languages, and not have to be blocked on my team finding the time to do it. (Just like they can do now with the parser and syntax highlighting / fuzzy code nav rules.) Linguist is our role model here — it currently includes language detection and (regex-based) syntax highlighting rules for 500+ languages. Most of those are contributed by the community. There's no way that my team can migrate all of those in any reasonable amount of time, especially while having to balance that with other feature development and operational responsibilities.

> It is certainly not something that can be counted on in golang, Ruby, or Python.

As of Python 3.6 (in theory not guaranteed until Python 3.7), key order is preserved when reading and writing. That's a consequence of the fact Python dictionaries can now remember the order of insertion.

It's true that it doesn't support duplicate keys though (unless you pass in a different class to the object_pairs_hook parameter of loads() to replace its use of dict).

Grief, loss, and trauma are hardly specific to covid-related deaths. If that's our concern, we should really be considering overall mortality rates (looks to be about 10-15% higher than previous years) and how many Americans know someone who has recently died, regardless of cause.
All social media sites except 4chan and Facebook die after a while being the #1 spot. I think the reality is that its not undervalued. Reddit is reaching its peak and inevitable collapse.

Seems to me like either you become the #1 and stay there ie Facebook; or you make a complete disposable cluster'fk ie 4chan. There does not seem to be room for a middle ground.

Advanced batteries are not simple. Electric engines are somewhat simple. But they're not the main source of complexity.
the most aggravating trend Firefox jumped on was making the option to allow-list cookies a byzantine and infuriating process from what it used to be.

If you want to reject all cookies and allow-list only a handful of sites, youll need to go into privacy settings and choose a "custom" option to reject all cookies. presumably you're knowledgeable if youre here but if not, theres a scary warning that tells you doing this will "cause websites to break." Once thats done, reload your tabs and realize that if you choose "allow all cookies" at a later date, switching back to the "custom" setting doesnt return you to your former "block all cookies," just the watery default of blocking some cookies.

now if you want to allow-list a site, good luck. You cant use add-ons to do it and theres no menu option to quickly accomplish this anymore. open your settings again, under privacy, and custom settings again, and youre faced with a form to enter your new site. once you add the site to the list, you must hit save. Yes, the site is in the list now, but unless you hit save, you didnt add it.

Now arguably firefox cracked down on cookie block/allow capability at the behest of google and advertisers some years ago but to see them doubling back on the cookie issue --not to fix the blocklist feature but to nanny-state your cookie preferences even further-- is a real slap in the face.

stop tip toeing around the issue to appease advertisers. Let us block what we want to quickly and easily.
What's an example of this?
The power density of diesel is enough better than you can get a lot more out of it, and it is a lot faster/easier to refuel (at least for now). There is a limit to how long you want the train, so if half of the train is batteries it doesn't work out.

Miles of cable along the track is something the big railroads have looked at. If fuel goes to (and stays at) $8/gallon they will do it. Right now it isn't worth it, but the costs are easy to analyses.

The above is for freight rail. For passenger rail electric lines work out different, no serious operator of passenger rail uses anything else. Tourist attractions (generally running steam) are not serious. Diesel engines can be a useful backup for when wires break. Diesel is also useful on marginal lines that are only run at all because they already exist, but you would never build. Everything else - probably the majority - is incompetence.

The question is how to use "Total Cookie Protection" without any hardcoded or heuristics-based exceptions.

Your answer seems to be about how to turn off "Enhanced Tracking Protection"/"Total Cookie Protection" or parts of it (resulting in weaker protection). I want to keep it enabled and disable the exceptions (for stronger protection), i.e. the opposite.

I haven't installed the new version yet, so can't say for sure, but as far as I know there is no setting for this in that menu. [1]

If I misunderstood what you meant, please elaborate.

For most cryptocoins, you want a proof-of-work to be: (1) easy for a computer to verify, (2) hard for a computer to perform, (3) impossible to predict for a given 'block' and (4) decentralized and untrusted.

If it's a novel scientific problem it won't be all of these. An interesting exception is prime numbers. Primecoin [1] has a useful proof-of-work: it finds Cunningham chains of primes.

If you don't like the energy consumed by a proof of work, you should probably use something else like proof of stake. Any clever idea to try and steer the computational power to SETI@home or protein folding won't have the critical qualities of most cryptocoins.

Well then you have to do some bug hunting, but at least you'd have a fully working version of the system in miniature that you can test any hypotheses against.

To be honest, short of issuing every developer with their own production-grade environment to debug against I am not sure what exactly would satisfy this line of questioning.
Testing in production is the best thing we have ever done with our customers.

The key is to be able to quickly undo some scary new thing and get back to a known-good point. Also, you need to make sure the testing you are doing is easily distinguished from normal business activities. For us, the humble feature flag is all it took to get unblocked on moving mountains of complex scary things to production. Being able to reassure the customer that we can instantly revert a piece of experimental functionality has been a game changer.

We used to spend months agonizing over how the test environment is such a poor facsimile of production and complaining about vendor XYZ not setting up various things that we would need to prove our code works as expected. We used to make insane bullshit promises about how if things worked well in staging the move to production should be flawless. Those were some dark times for us.

Signing into a website through an iframe redirects you back to a sign in page inexplicably if the post-signin page requires a cookie.

Another example is you're signed into website A, and while on website B, iframes to website A behave in such a way that you're not signed in, and you cannot sign in.

There are a lot of people who store JSON in NoSQL databases. After fetching a JSON records you generally view the JSON or you do as a developer. That is where the tool is handy as you get get something like a FHIR record on a single page instead of crunched into a single line to expanded over multiple pages.
Not only does redirect based login work, it's an inherently better model than sharing cookies.

With shared cookies nothing stops site A from taking a copy of your cookie and using it to impersonate you on site B. With redirect based login the identity provider has to authorize each application that is being accessed and each site has its own session cookies.

The main problem is dealing with globally revoking access but that's usually solved with shorter termed session cookies that periodically need to be refreshed from the identity provider.
The wheels only have a lifespan of about 2 years anyway and it's regular maintenance to replace them. They get serviced regularly on a lathe which is either standalone or built underneath a service track. They can be pressed on and off the axles, which last like 80 years.

Local asphalt repair is also pretty routine for replacing pipes and stuff. I too wonder what it cost but I bet it's surprisingly little.
If you have an application that's dependent on JSON key order, then you're not passing it prettified JSON.

The main apps I've seen that depend on JSON structure are for hashing, which would also be broken by whitespace / linebreak variances in pretty-printers.

Other than this is how cookies should have worked from the get-go, I have a question/scenario:

1. User visits site-a.com, which sets a cookie containing 'ThisIsUser9'

2. site-a.com also rewrites every external URL on the page, with a new param '&adtrack=ThisIsUser9'

3. User clicks on external link on site-a.com and goes to site-b.com

4. site-b.com's server sees the adtrack param on the end of the URL and sets a cookie 'ThisIsUser9' and also adds the adtrack param to all external URLs on the returned page.

5. Advertising company works with site-a and site-b (and many many other sites) to build up a persistent profile of your browsing habits.

We can't stop this, even with this new FF cookie isolation. Those of us who care will install an extension to strip known trackers from all URLs, and 90% of all other web users, will still be tracked as usual.

Face it, the private web is lost. :(

I'd argue that mass casualty events have some specific characteristics that differ from the normal background noise of deaths that happen on a routine basis.

9/11, for example, had a pretty disparate impact versus the raw number of deaths it generated.
i don't think anyone would deny that third party logins are convenient -- either from the user perspective or from the developer perspective. but they are also a huge vector for privacy-invasive ad-profiling, if that's the login provider's business model.
> Sort of. There are many many people hyping Bitcoin (and various bitcoin-adjacent projects: mining rigs, wallets, dodgy unregulated exchanges, etc.), and most of them have a vested financial interest in it.

You've basically described commerce.

Pick a random asset class--stocks, real estate, commodities, etc--and ask yourself: are there people who are hyping that asset who have a vested financial interest in it?

The answer is almost certainly "yes" in every case.
Without reading that study, who it was funded by, how it was conducted, I choose to err on the side of caution. In other words, I don't believe that statement for a microsecond, especially coming from 1955.
I preferred chrome cookie control over Firefox after switching. (I have had to compromise with umatrix to fill this feature gap.) Very granular control for each cookie where a cookie can be allowed, temporary, or blocked.

I went through my entire list of cookies once, 400 at least and started perma blocking all those I didn’t recognize. It was beautiful. I can’t do the same in Firefox.

I’m not feeling very good about this move where third party cookies are isolated by website. There are lots of websites separated across multiple domain names sometimes unrelated. (Sharepoint, office 365) they will have difficulty.

And then there are special login websites and others like dish network telling CNN you have a subscription with them.

This breaks. And creates a predetermined list of who can do what.

Right but I think the original point was that it would be nice not to have to do that.

An LTS connected to a NAS would avoid all of that. Lol.
I think that's a totally fair point, and a reason that assumption might be incorrect.

To be clear I don't mean "a pretty reasonable assumption" to mean it was exceptionally likely to be true (with, say 95% confidence) in my mind in this it's more like a 65% chance of being true.

I guess I was using it as shorthand for "my prior is >50%"

Anyway, I wouldn't be shocked if that assumption was wrong and if it is, it makes sense that it'd be for the reasons you outline

Ask HN: Stripe/Instacart equity grants as fixed $ amount of RSUs?
I recently read that Stripe and Instacart are now giving employees RSUs equal to a fixed dollar amount every year at vesting time instead of a fixed number of RSUs, both for new hires and for refresh grants. (source: online forums, an HN comment)

This was quite surprising to me because it means that employees get no growth potential from future vests, i.e. all growth before a vest doesn't benefit employees (except for any already-vested RSUs).

AFAIK most big tech companies (~AppAmaGooBookSoft) give a fixed number of RSUs in their grants (though there might be a one-time conversion from a dollar amount to decide the number of RSUs).

Any idea why Stripe and Instacart decided to go this way? To protect their employees from the stock price falling? To discourage people from applying just for the IPO boom? Does this save them a lot of money somehow? Anything else I'm missing?

My team is only writing tree-sitter parsers as part of working on GitHub developer productivity features like Code Navigation. So the short version is that we (i.e., my team at GitHub) haven't written a tree-sitter parser for SQL because we haven't targeted SQL for Code Nav support yet.

That said, this is exactly why we've released tree-sitter as an open-source project. That way there's no need for anyone to be blocked on my team finding the time to work on an SQL parser. Most extant tree-sitter parsers [1] have been developed by external language communities, and not by the core tree-sitter maintainers.

(Also note that SQL is a particularly wrinkly language, since there are so many different dialects. Are you looking for an ANSI SQL parser? A MySQL SQL parser? One that covers all of them to some degree?)

Yeah, so I'm aware that the way to charge more is to tell clients that you'll charge more ;). However, the range people work for is pretty wide and depend on a lot of variables.
