Well the implication of that sentence is therefore that if you click "Accept" you're simply accepting that you can consent by closing the notice. Therefore clicking the X is consenting, and clicking "Accept" is choosing not to consent.
Well spotted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_God

"In legal usage throughout the English-speaking world, an act of God is a natural hazard outside human control, such as an earthquake or tsunami, for which no person can be held responsible. An act of God may amount to an exception to liability in contracts (as under the Hague–Visby Rules) or it may be an "insured peril" in an insurance policy.

By contrast, other extraordinary man-made or political events are deemed force majeure"

That's what makes the problem so bedeviling. Journalism has been afflicted with the same maximalist, parasitic ideology as every other institution. But other institutions have a couple of paths out: the profit motive has the advantage of being insensitive to ideology, and government has builtin safeguards against lunatic populists like trumpists or the woke.

But journalism can't really take advantage of either of these. The market doesn't steer it towards the socially optimal objective, and independence from the state is a core part of its value.
Middle class perspective: if you can buy a car for cash, but you can get a good interest rate on a loan, you may be better off taking the loan. The opportunity cost of having cash sunk into the car can be greater than your financing costs.

I'm of the opinion that you should focus on building an audience but it depends on the type of audience.

Whenever I'm working on a new brand I think about the problem that the audience has and that's what I want to create an audience around.

When you create an audience around a problem then when you have the solution (your business) the audience fuels it.

However, too many people take the advice of building an audience before a business to mean that they need to build an audience around their personal brand/persona and that's why you end up with the things in the author's post.

While building a personal brand can be very helpful for clout and opportunities, it's never a surefire way to generate success for a business because who is your audience at that point?
Most websites, made by low budget webdevs which are thriving thanks to companies asking for low budget websites[1], do not consider - even in the EU - the reject option.

In the large majority of websites, Google Analytics fires even before the cookie banner, and the banner is only used to inform you that by continuing navigation you are accepting to be tracked.

Yes, this is illegal. But not enforceable.

What in the WORLD!? This is a tiny 12v house lead acid battery. It is not designed or intended to be used as a stationary power source to POWER A HOUSE!

Warranties are for intended use. If I drop a boat out of a helicopter on onto concrete from 1,000 feet and it breaks, I can't make a warranty claim. This is SPECIFICALLY covered in the warrenty for TESLA's as well.

Now we are getting legal advice on HN that this violates the magnuson act! This is an only on HN comment.

This is not how these batteries are intended to be used.

Lawsuits like this are why we have crazy warning labels in Americas on things.
I collect tools. Why? Because when I am poor again (retirement?) I won't be able to afford those expensive tools.

Wood and Raspberry Pis, comparatively speaking, are cheaper than table saws and oscilloscopes.
This is a valid point, haha.
Marketing. There's been a huge marketing push of tools that designed to automate the SQL portion of data pipeline.

Doesn't make much sense to me, because anyone who's been in the data space quickly sees the rampant marketing of different tools that all do the same thing but simply change the order of the pipeline.
I really didn't like that book, for me it missed the point entirely. For the entire length it discusses how you accumulate more wealth by not spending it, but it never discussed why you would be accumulating all that wealth.

People want to be millionaires, not to stare at 7 digits on a webpage, but for the lifestyle it affords. This book just assumes the end goal is the number on a bank account.

The problem with bitcoin is that it's not exclusive - there are tons of alternatives.

Some even have better features (think Ethereum or Monero or Zcash).

Nothing is stopping people from launching bitcoin2,bitcoin3, etc and having the same technology available - yet BTC is the major player skyrocketing.

This is an example of the market being irrational longer than expected, in my book.

> Sure. I hope they commission a $6 million dollar painting of themself with Napoleon's body and unicorns in the background. It's their money. They can waste it however they want.

You're missing the point: the question is what this $6.6 million transaction for this token mean? Does it mean these NFTs are starting to be taken seriously? Does it mean someone's hyping the tech through a shady transaction? Or does it mean some bozo who won the lotto was willing to blow some money on one?

Winning lotto tickets can also be convertible to USD, which can easily be used to buy kitchen appliances, and pants and flights. Noting that doesn't reveal anything about the differences between how lotto winners spend vs. other people.

I concur, for me the journey was:
Java -> Clojure -> Haskell -> Rust.
Each language introduced concepts that made it easier to learn the next. So far I've had jobs in all of those languages except for Rust, but that time will come too. I still prefer Haskell for everything that doesn't involve GUI's.

SEEKING WORK | Germany | Remote OK/preferred

Hi! I'm Andy. I primarily do embedded- and desktop-applications programming and electronics and have about ten years of experience, but I'm open to all kinds of things. I'm based in Leipzig, Germany, and willing to temporarily relocate if necessary.

I'm straightforward and direct, and pretty good at finding solutions. I prefer coding in C, with C++ being a close runner-up, but I also have extensive experience in LabVIEW, and have otherwise dabbled a bit in Java and PHP, Javascript, CSS and HTML. I speak English as a native language, with (business-fluent) German as a second language, learned a bit of French in school and picked up Bahasa from growing up in Malaysia.

I started my career dropping out of university into a small engineering company that runs endurance test-rigs for the automobile industry. I started freelancing for my former employer about four years ago, and am now looking to expand. As such, it's probably no secret that I'm new to offering my services to a wider public.

Owing to the trajectory of my career, most of my experience in hardware concerns the design, use and build of PCBs, switchboards and electrical cabinets for both industrial automation and automobile-electronics, as well as the control and data acquisition of test-rigs on PCs, but I'm also confident in adapting this knowledge and experience into other areas.

I'm the author of the ZaidaScope oscilloscope-program, which is an open-source native Windows-application that uses an Arduino as an ADC-converter. It possibly stands out among the dozen or so Arduino oscilloscope-programs as squeezing the most out of the AT328P-chip (it's bottlenecked by a 2Mbps serial baud-rate): https://github.com/ZaidaTek/ZaidaScope https://www.hackster.io/zaidatek/c774f5

More code I've written can be found at my private repository, and that of my company: https://github.com/ariebesehl/ https://github.com/ZaidaTek/

My negotiable rate is 70€/h.

If you're interested, you can contact me at a.riebesehl@gmail.com and I will be glad to provide you with a copy of my CV.
Leaving aside any significance of this statistic, I'm not convinced the calculation is right. The website describes the calculation as:

> Bitcoin`s velocity is calculated by dividing the 90 day estimated USD transaction volume by the 90 day average USD market cap. (This is the equivalent to the $BTC circulated divided by the Bitcoin money supply.)

... but this isn't how M1/M2 velocity are calculated. Those statistics effectively divide GDP by the money supply. In so doing, they only transactions related to production or consumption.

Purely financial transactions (e.g. buying a stock or bond or foreign currency) don't affect the statistical calculation of money velocity. However, these sorts of transactions make up the bulk of Bitcoin transactions, leading to a comparatively inflated transaction volume.

If you include foreign exchange transactions, then one 2019 estimate (https://www.bis.org/statistics/rpfx19_fx.htm) found about $6.6tn in global forex per day, of which the USD was on one side of about 88%. Call that $5tn/day to round down, giving a quarterly figure is about $300tn/quarter (at about 60 trading days per quarter), which is by itself about 16.5 times the current $18tn M1 money supply (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1SL). That "forex velocity" is about an order of magnitude higher than the official M1 velocity.

Effectively, I don't think this chart is comparing apples to apples.
And what does that have to do with people's skin colors?
> I think the biggest threat to poor people, would be the ridiculous housing market.

I have heard this referred to as the "financialization of housing" in articles I've read over the last few years. Google that term to find out more..

Basically more and more multinational corporations (structured as REITs and similar) have turned their eyes towards the housing market, buying up stock in major cities and wherever there is arbitrage opportunity...

And of course this means maximizing profits and minimizing costs, which is squeezing the average person harder and harder as rents go up more aggressively than before (which also drives up home prices etc)...

The idea of treating people's homes as "assets" to be bought and sold and optimized for profit is, personally speaking, horrendous..

But hey, capitalism, right?
It's more expensive for people who haven't been continuously insured, who have had accidents, or who otherwise have a poor driving record. That's a larger fraction of poor people than it is of not-poor people, so yes, typically insurance is more expensive for poor people.
I just use tab complete if I want a file from my working directory, which I actually prefer.

If anybody else is using zsh-autosuggestions, it's really worth looking into configuring it rather than using it out of the box. It exposes some pretty cool options. It was sub-par out of box in comparison to fish, but after some tweaking I like it better. You can do things like ignore history based completions on certain commands (like git, I don't need my last commit message popping up)

Also, SpaceX being the first to demonstrate it was feasible. There were naysayers even after they landed their first booster in December of 2015. ("refurbishment will cost too much!")

Now that SpaceX regularly flying a booster 5 times or more and have at least 10 boosters in the fleet, the only people arguing that reusable space hardware is not worth doing are people with a vested interest in old-space-hardware designs.
I love this idea.

It would be great to have this as a command line tool.
