I wondered that too and I concluded that it's because the threat model is different.

* China spying will steal your data and identity so the safety of your money and assets will be at risk. Your photos may be sold, your credit cards may be stolen, etc.

* Five Eyes spying will hurt you if you're non-normative. Say you're a casual drug user or perform low scale criminality. Or say you're doing a thing that's legal now but illegal later.

Presumably there's the idea that China could blackmail you but I have a hard time believing anyone would go for that over just letting their naked pics on the Internet.

So the Five Eyes spying is probably harmless to someone totally normative. The China spying is probably harmful to them.

For the non-normative, dark-web peer to peer Bitcoin user who is buying LSD, the China spying is probably better.
This is just bananas, it's not hard to wear the mask. We simply aren't at the numbers of vaccinated to be making these calls.
Anything and everything is apparently cancel culture now. There are no "consequences" anymore, it's all just "cancel culture".

This phenomenon is not new to humanity. There is no immunity from the consequences that can occur from saying things online. If one doesn't like Disney's behavior, then I suggest speaking with one's wallet.
Will Iran and Saudi Arabia Ever Become Friends?
Those policies often work through gradual tightening, rather than a sudden change. So it might start with a 7% + CPI cap, then a few years later they'll change it to 5%, then remove the CPI, and so on. Sometimes the cap is allowed to be changed by a simple committee vote or determined by a "Rent Board," which is easier than passing a new law. That way the initial law can get passed without too much opposition.

From my very limited knowledge of physics, time crystals can theoretically oscillate forever without any excitation at their ground state, though laws of theromodynamics are not broken and energy cannot be extracted from their oscillations. In a normal crystal oscillater, power is needed to keep the crystal oscillating.

I'm not perfect, I probably shouldn't eat fish either. Maybe I'll stop at some point.

Just because you don't do something perfectly doesn't mean it's not worth doing at all.
Common but it's one of those things that should come with a label on every single ticker or such. As it stands, without any plan or goal to become profitable, investors should acknowlege that they are incurring extreme risk and are investing on concepts outside of any actual plan to eventually turn a profit. To top it all off, they are just crawling Google. Google could potentially shut their entire game down any day. In a different era's market I would expect the SEC to shut it down and ask 'Why are you IPOing?' and 'Is this an attempt to exit from a failing business by misleading investors?'.
> Modern OSes, complicated software stacks, preemptive multi-tasking, and the need for flexible general purpose usage, eat up a huge percent (I'd say well over ~70%) of the usable computing capacity in the devices we deal with every day.

I think a big part of it is security. Having to isolate address spaces is expensive.

(Sometimes I like to imagine being able to run a unikernel OS where applications are written in something like safe Rust, everything runs in the same address space, and the OS delegates enforcing memory separation to a trusted compiler. So, things like writing to disk or the network are just regular function calls with no context switch overhead. In this model, unsafe code is treated sort of the way we treat kernel code or setuid binaries in Linux: regular users aren't allowed to run arbitrary unsafe code. With Spectre, I don't know if this sort of approach is still feasible on modern processors, or if it's possible for a compiler to guarantee that the compiled code is not susceptible to any known side-channel attacks.)
The most boring, tired take around.

Ignorant people like to call it Dutch Tulips. Was Dutch Tulips a one-tie event? Or did it continue to increase in value and usage with higher highs and higher lows every couple years?

By your "waste of resources" take, which is again so tired - at least Bitcoin is helping Venezuelans and Nigerians and others who have purchased it, unlike video games, which waste FAR more electricity and are a larger waste of resources.
The possible saving grace of their funding model is that, even if the manufacturer itself doesn't have an affiliate program, they can probably still get some sort of affiliate link through Amazon or Wal-Mart.

That said, there's just no amount of "not actually sketchy" that will prevent this sort of revenue model from seeming sketchy. Hard not to wonder if there are small Internet-only companies that only sell direct-to-consumer who are being shut out of independent reviews, or are feeling pressure to give them a cut in order to avoid being cut out.
Would any nation allow itself to be in a position where a coalition of the willing could perform a 51% attack on their currency? Because if not, only one country could use BTC or anything with the same mining algorithm.

Has anyone found a good fitness metrics watch that is more open source (no monthly fee)?

Oura looks new with no monthly subscription fee. It looks like horrible to wear for serious sport though.

I have Whoop but will cancel the monthly fee once my intro period is over.

But Whoop would be worth it for me if instead it would be a flat price own outright + they allow 3p access to all the data not just heart rate.

The whoop in theory is great but it doesn't capture my sport's 'strain' well and the heart rate lags my treadmill band. I can't verify the sleep but it seems to be more accurate at least measuring my interruptions. But if it was flat rate not $30 a month i think it would be good enough.

Yes, absolutely, some of those views should cost you your job. I don't want to work with people who want to eradicate Jews, or think black people are subhuman, or believe women are beneath men. If I found out someone on my team held those beliefs, I would definitely act to remove them. That's just not compatible with the type of environment I try to create at work.

I haven't seen a single example of someone who was fired because it turned out that they were a fan of trickle-down economics or opposed Obamacare. Those aren't the kind of opinions people are being "oppressed" (insert eyeroll here) for.
Bound parameters were a new thing like 15 years ago.

When they were new depends on what language and database library you use.

Perl's DBI had them 25 years ago.
They also said they'd have their first consumer electric car ready 2020. Where can I buy Volvo's electric car? Nowhere.

Since they're so committed to this transformation, I'm assuming that they've already fired most of the gasoline-competence, since (most of) those employees are too old to learn anything new (i.e. electric car tech.)

If firing gasoline-car competence is a worldwide phenomenon, then by 2030 it'll reach irreversible brain-drain levels.

>> How else do you propose to have a distributed ledger that is resistant to inflation?

> That's not a real problem. You solve it by ignoring it and getting back to things that actually matter.

The distributed ledger isn't even secure. Just look where the cheap electricity is, create a network partition and all the other transaction will vanish after the network partition doesn't exist anymore.
If you're an engineer, and when you get back to your job you're told that you are now responsible for wiping down your workstation every hour, your first response will probably be, "I'm an engineer that's not my job" and your second response will be, "ok fine but make it as easy as possible".

Teachers are not supposed to be cleaning their classroom or teaching your kids about hygiene, but they have to now because parents don't and there is no budget for staff. There needs to be a tradeoff there. Spend a little more on supplies to save time so you don't have to hire a janitor to come around every hour and wipe down the classroom.
Curly braces will fail in `dash` which may be what your /bin/sh is (or could become).
It may be that the extra nutritional benefits of meat can be matched by plant products. But the Beyond Meat offerings do not achieve anything close to that. They are made of highly processed industrial ingredients that are designed to approximate the texture of meat but not the nutritional profile. Pea proteins are not as complete nor bio-available as meat proteins, and the fatty acid profile is very different (and IMHO very inferior). To the extent that your purpose is greater health for yourself rather than less suffering, these products don't provide good value.
Voting rights don't give you "absolute control".
My understanding of the situation is:

1. Wind/solar energy are being trumpeted around the world as the cheapest source of electricity available.
2. Bitcoin miners' profits are directly `sale price of BTC - buy price of electricity`. Other costs are marginal in comparison.
3. BTC mining is a extremely competitive, trivially mobile, trivially liquid, global market.
4. Given 1, 2 & 3 there is a lot of fretting that BTC is creating a coal-powered financial system.

With the recent spike, the currently reasonable cost for a fast, median-sized transaction is $10.46 [1] [2] According to the fretting articles I read, that is enough to power an average home for a 23 days and motivates sending over 300kg (700lb) of C02 into the air [3] That's 35 gallons of gasoline at 20lb CO2/gallon.

:/

For what it's worth, I get the concern. But, I also see equal shares of BTC hate|BTC fanboyism everywhere I go. Latching on to the environmental concerns of BTC is trendy right now. It's hard to argue against without sounding like an asshole and it's not entirely false. But, it's not entirely honest either. Everything I read and calculate shows that BTC makes total sense as a defacto green energy subsidy. But, that does not spark outrage. So, instead there is a lot of fretting about the second rise of a coal-powered economy.

IMHO, the way Ethereum is going is great: Bootstrap with POW then switch to POS after enough investment is built-up that staking actually means something. It's arguable that the best use of BTC at this point is to burn them all to bootstrap more POS tokens. We just need alternatives that inspire enough confidence to motivate people to convert their BTC over.

Even saying the "AI" beats the curling competitors at throwing accuracy isn't correct. The AI has access to a highly precise mechanisms for controlling the power it throws with.

Thanks Nick! Appreciate it.

The very first line is flawed as mining companies are increasingly not selling their mined bitcoin. Why would they? They are obviously mining because they are bullish.

In fact, who is selling bitcoin? Only those that don't believe it won't be an upgrade to base-layer money. Those that would call themselves bitcoiners don't want to sell it. I've never heard of a Ponzi where some people just won't sell!

This page is an embarrassing collection of misinformation.
My SUV pollutes less than a dog, simply because I run it once a week or less. The dog, as a horse, must breathe, eat and poop 24x7. Animals generate CO2 too. And methane.

To be short, saying that Bitcoin has the right of polluting while doing nothing useful in return because there are cars, is wrong.

I hate all of these attempts to monetize communication. The government should strictly regulate them.
It’s a shame you spent so much time patiently trying to explain all that to me, not realizing it’s probably the ten thousandth time I’ve heard this. I appreciate the efforts, bit that view is rationalization and I tried to save you the effort by pointing out that the technology industry has not stopped like you would expect if your view were reality.

And I assure you, as someone who holds bitcoin that has greatly appreciated, I can’t wait to spend it on things that depreciate.

In fact my spending has increased now that my spending power has increased dramatically.
People bet big when the ETA to payoff is perceived as near and possibly large. A number of elements impede this behavior wrt BTC I wager since it was always pitched as a slow roasting investment, whereas in the case of GME, being a stock and not Bitcoin, we saw this behavior more liberally I think

Ask HN: How do you improve diversity and inclusion?
I was asked this during one of three interviews with a large fast food company some time ago. The interview was for a software engineer 2 position.

I had no idea how to answer it. I stubbled through as best I could but I feel my pitiful answer contributed to not getting the job.

I do what I can to include others. There's been times someone outside my normal circle has offered great insight so I'm all for including whoever.

Beyond that what I can do?
The affordability crisis many cities are facing are not caused by the fact that rent increases exist, it's that they're increasing faster than wage increases.

One does not need to hold off rent increases for an arbitrary amount of time, they just have to stay inline with wages to remain affordable. With that in mind, it is certainly not impossible to build enough to keep up with job/wage growth.

I agree that no single policy can fix everything, but the current status quo of pitting the haves (rent control) vs. have-nots (newcomers/movers) is not working.
For me the feeling of needing more money does not come from wanting to spend more now, but rather a foreboding feeling that any moment jobs could dry up and I'll need to support myself and others via savings in an extended recession.
Though, I would still go stalk the reviewer a bit and make sure they're a real person. Reddit isn't necessarily any less amenable to astroturfing than amazon.com or bestbuy.com; the only thing that might be protecting it right now is that it's currently not as big a pot of honey.
> „ Specifically, line 23 strips the code of “reject” and “filter,” which are API functions that implement a programming idiom that protects against SQL injection attacks.“

This is not correct. The mistake was to use ‚find_by_sql‘ without parametrizing the query. The mentioned reject and filter methods are merely skipping some of the data the query returns.
The 20% fat does not consist of mineral oil. The mineral oil content is separate, and from contamination from machinery etc (presumably much much less than 20%).
Personally, I very much doubt it.

Meat is an ancient food. We've evolved as hunter-gatheres, with most of our calories coming from hunting. It would be very surprising if we were not well-adapted to eating a lot of meat. Modern hunter-gatherer tribes which eat a lot of meat, like the Hadza, have excellent health.

Something like Beyond Meat is novel; it may well be OK, but I'd certainly exercise a lot of caution before trusting it.

Another way to look at the question, while incomplete, is just to look at the breakdown of the nutrients. Per cronometer.com, here's specimen A:

https://imgur.com/a/uEWhL7E

and specimen B:

https://imgur.com/a/zcAXeya

Which of those looks healthier to you?

To me, they look pretty similar, except for A has a lot more PUFA, and a lot less vitamin B. There is a lot of controversy about PUFA, but my belief is too much of it is one of the main causes of disease in people eating "Western-style" diets.

So I'd guess specimen B is healthier; that's the cow burger.

(Tangentially, is there a good website to easily share pngs? Imgur compression is pretty brutal for text stuff.)
> They think that it is worth cancelling these things because of "racist imagery." But who are they to decide what is and isn't racist?

The people who made the decision about problematic content here were Seuss Enterprises, LLC, the owners of the content.

Um, it was never okay to say: this has been mocked in popular culture for decades as a signal of privilege and avoidance of real racial issues.
I can't really understand their papers, but they've been published in peer-reviewed journals, so they're at least somewhat legit. And if it's a scam then someone should be able to attack it.

You are always free to choose another employer. She literally already found work with another employer.

You are suggesting that corporations are one monolithic entity, which is simply not true.

I have no idea what you mean here by white privilege or corporate privilege. Nobody has the right to a job. Saying dumb things online and getting consequences is applicable to everyone, because corporations only follow the money.
Falsification in science is possible.

If I hypothesize that all zebras have stripes then observing one zebra with spots falsifies the entire hypothesis. This is definitive.

However, no amount of zebras that I observe with stripes can ever prove my hypothesis correct. I can observe 500 zebras all with stripes and at any point in time the 501st zebra can have spots. I can observe 1 billion zebras with stripes and the possibility still remains open that the next zebra I see has spots.

Science is not symmetric. Falsification is possible, proof is not.
It probably was filmed on a camera not a watch.
Code review is a sticking point for a lot of the junior hires I've worked with. I now give them a talk about how code reviews are not to be taken personally, how they should assume best intent, and some guidance for how to handle disagreements.

In my experience, setting an expectation that teams need to be respectful and communicative in code reviews, combined with no tolerance for bad behavior, is sufficient to keep the code review process running smoothly.

I'm not a fan of explicit process documents that prescribe communication practices to employees. There is a very specific type of person who loves to be handed a rule book for how to communicate with others, and they love these systems. They prefer to operate within structured environments where they can read the rulebook ahead of time, or perhaps even write the rulebook for others to follow. Having the rules spelled out like this brings an artificial sense of comfort, especially to those who otherwise struggle with organic communication.

For everyone else, the complexity of these systems is unnecessary mental overhead. Do two developers who were already communicating just fine need to adopt this process? More importantly, does the process stop here, or will there be additional sets of communication rules whenever another possible communication ambiguity arises?
