You said it, cost of living ain’t free. My experience from Sweden is that few people work alongside studies, and even fewer have expenses paid for by well-off parents. Maybe if you’re from the city where you study you stay living and eating at home, but otherwise it’s very common to take out a (fairly cheap) student loan from the Swedish Board of Student Finance to cover your expenses.

Minor sticking point, I want to object to the prefix "with k8s, it's become a cinch...". In my experience, this prefix is only true when followed by phrases such as "shoot yourself in the foot", "over complicate your infrastructure", &c. ;)
I’d say it depends on the data being persisted. PII or any user data that is private in nature are good candidates for encryption regardless of session length. Other than that encryption is overkill.
Cars is a net positive to society. The positive externalities far outweigh the negative. Cars like all other machines free up times for humans to among other things invent the internet.

So unless you are claiming that cars are a net negative then it's not a good analogy.
If Bitcoin showed one thing, it's that we can have a way to transact ownership of bytes from one address/wallet to another with a shared network without intermediaries and implicit trust of parties. IMHO it's a very big PoC and the number of people participating over the years makes it a success to me.
I'm looking forward to when lab-grown meat becomes widely available. I'd rather eat that than vegetables, and both would presumably be equally environmentally friendly.

I cant justify spending $900 + tax + shipping + Apple Care to end up with a problem I can't readily solve and thats the real issue.

For my needs, if it cant run Intel based binaries then its about as useful as a brick. Maybe they never do such a thing ... but if they do Im sitting on what amounts an expensive brick and not a damn thing I can do about it. By the time All The Things are ported to native M1 there will be an M2 for the same price as my old M1 that I never got any utility out of.

The Linux box it would replace runs fine for its purpose (20.04 LTS isn't too bad). Its only crime is that it doesn't fit in the otherwise Apple ecosystem I'm running with.

Coinbase’s fees are ridiculously high. By this is a symptom of a lack of competition and immaturity of the cryptocurrency space.

The second issue is that cryptocurrency is akin to a religion. This is also true. Most people buy and hold Bitcoin on the belief it will go up but there isn’t much of a reason for it to go up except a lot of people continuing to buy in and hold. As Peter Shiff and others have made clear Bitcoin is a naturally occurring Ponzi scheme.
Having your company being compared to a cult is a good sign.

I feel like we've been through this with COBOL, SQL, and...well, lots of things, so I'm skeptical of a “low-code [general purpose or otherwise] programming language” even if it is “expressed in a human-friendly text.” [0]

At best, these things usually end up as decent programming languages for professionals that end-users avoid like the plague. At worst, they end up as giant dumpster fire where people are lured into a doom of unmanageable code, as it seems easy enough to build sloppily until it's overwhelming and unintelligible. The other features (declarative, functional, stro gly typed) give me some hope it's not a total disaster, but...

Yeah but no. Linux is pretty open and honest about the twisting mess. There are years-long discussions about them. The Xorg/Wayland thing has been surfacing a few times on HN recently.

If you search for a Linux problem, you'll get 50 different people telling you 25 different ways of fixing it, most of which work.

If you search for a Microsoft problem, you'll get 50 pages of corporate bullshit that pretend everything's OK. You have to ignore those and dig further to find some unofficial blogger or random dev post that actually tells you something useful.

Also looking at you, Apple - less bullshit and more honesty in your support pages please
Aren't people getting tired of the asset bubble by now?

I understand that in the past year it has enabled people to easily make a lot of money. I personally made a lot of money (relatively speaking that is, as I'm a student) in the past year. But it's just so tiresome to read about it all the time.

Asset X goes up, asset Y comes back down. Rinse and repeat. It wears me out.

My emotional state of mind is not great at the moment, because of lockdown & loneliness, but I think this long lasting asset bubble would've made me tired regardless of my state of mind.

Maybe I'll just do ETFs, maybe I'll just quit for the year.

Any people here who feel the same?
it's the same situation where a company gets to pay tax on profits, but a human have to pay tax on revenue (their income).

I want to see this equalized - either allow humans to pay tax on profits only (i.e., they can deduct all expenses of their living), or tax a company's revenue like how a human is taxed.
They’ve removed the original blog post that gave their rationale.

If anyone can find it I’d like to read it again.

The original reason was some bullshit about protecting investors from volatility.
Something I still find hilarious is that after a product I worked on started to enforce a content security policy, the #1 blocked source was always for google font resources. Of course users could whitelist the domains, but many didn't and anyway their sites looked fine.
TEDx you mean. Which matters quite a bit, given that there are effectively no restrictions on who can give a TEDx talk :p

Which isn't to say that it's useless, just that the "TED" gatekeeping role isn't actually happening here, instead the gatekeeper is "people who have heard of TEDx", which is very different and imo quite a bit less useful.
It still works and at least somebody still seems to work on it going by the somewhat random GL-related fixes and regressions in macOS Betas since GL was declared deprecated.

AFAIK ANGLE (and MoltenGL) only provide GLES2.x and GLES3.x over Metal, so out of the box those wouldn't be very useful for providing desktop-GL compatibility.

Apparently Zink on top of MoltenVk on top of Metal works, but that looks like a Jenga tower of emulation layers.

Ideally, Apple would rewrite their OpenGL framework on top of Metal (if it hasn't happened yet), and keep that working at least into the 2030s.
but lack of competition is good for an investor :)
I'm pretty skeptical of the negative attention Robinhood is receiving. It seems like the entities who actually acted in bad faith, the ones who attempted illegal shorts, are trying to divert attention. Like someone else said, Robinhood is just the fall guy here.

Cryptocurrencies are. Bitcoin is outclassed by e.g. Monero in that niche and sadly, the constant international busts of DNMs have made buying drugs online an ordeal with markets having very short lifespans currently.

But he didn't. The box on the form said "Have you been convicted for fraud?". He hasn't, so he didn't check the box.

Yeah, in trendy areas near the city, a big, modern house can cost 1M euros. But there are much cheaper ones as well in the suburbs. Also agree that I don't understand who can afford to buy such houses with the average salaries being so low here. I guess those are still must be outliers that pop up more from the average houses.

And yes there are a lot of restrictions for building in the city. Overall the "housing code" is quite strict and standards are very high.
I read this comment with interest, thanks for sharing. Makes good sense to me.

If I may ask, do you think the distribution of bitcoin will be somewhat equitable as we approach 2140?

And do you you think it will actually become a medium of exchange as originally hoped? Or will it remain a store of wealth only (as things currently seem to indicate)?

And if it indeed remains only a store of wealth, will said wealth be distributed relatively equally, or will we be left with a relatively small pool of large holders?

Just trying to wrap my mind around the long-term evolution of bitcoin - and your way of explaining the energy conundrum above makes me think you probably have good insight on this.

I'd value your opinion, thanks :)
Prototyping Guide [Free Checklist]
I'm interested in this take, as I'm hearing it a lot lately and it seems quite plausible. Is there evidence that the price increase of bitcoin is causally related, in any reliable way, to inflationary activity at The Fed?

If so, why isn't this the headline of the past month?
Nassim Taleb actually cites Prof. Gigerenzer in the topic of simple heuristics.
You're looking at retail - their much bigger "wholesale" business has to compete on tighter margins. For example, when Tesla bought $1B via Coinbase, off market.

Competitors are showing up fast.

New opportunities are opening up in altcoins, staking and more.
I use cash dollars to buy drugs. There is a massive push to keep dollars operable. Dollars must be a cult.
The right wing parties want to keep the tax deduction.

One thing they did introduce was that the imputed rent tax was limited to the interest tax deduction. To encourage people to pay off their mortgages, but that is now being rolled back.

One thing is that killing the tax deduction is likely to lower the value of houses because people cannot borrow as much without the tax deduction.

The elephant in the room in The Netherlands is not only the shortage of land to build new house but also what it costs to build a new house. You can lower prices by increasing availability, but only if the new objects are actually cheaper than what people pay now.

Building a house in The Netherlands is insanely expensive. Some of it for good reasons, a building code that has lots of requirements. A large part of The Netherlands is effectively a swamp, so foundations are also very expensive. However, contractors, etc. make quite a bit of money, but the worse part is that local governments try to make money of land. To finance the city, but also to have regular house subsidize social housing.
> housing policy is pretty bad in almost all desirable places globally

or, perhaps it's that if a place is desirable, the prices are going to be unaffordable since space is always limited. Perhaps policies have nothing much to do with it at all.
Lack of competition? Outside of the US you get 5+ times lower fees with an exchange with 9x the volume and offerings (Binance). Even in the US you can use e.g. Kraken which has lower fees.

This author in particular didn't think it 'was worth the effort' to even use the actual market which offers 0.50% fees on Coinbase and went with the 1click solution that charges 1.49% for the convenience.
Excel has a known row limit. Anyone blaming the row limit is trying to dodge blame. I have the exact same respect for those folks as I do for folks that misuse a hammer. I have written Perl scripts that dump the results of SQL queries into a spreadsheet and do additional tabs when the row limit is reached. The tool didn't do the damage, the tool using the tool did.

IT people hate Excel because normal people can get work done, much like HyperCard and Flash before it. Perhaps someone will write a more IT friendly Excel without losing the users.
By cross-referencing the list of states without armed forces[0] against the list of states which have ratified the amendment to the Rome Statute outlawing the crime of aggression under international law[1], I would say a reasonable list of countries would be: Andorra, Liechtenstein, and Samoa.

Which I find an odd topic of inquiry in this thread.
I just found this interesting article. If you are interested, it is a review of the following "conversation of articles" (which are reachable from the OP but I guess it's useful enough to list):

Every time I've needed something like this (3 times in my career, though none in the past 5 years) I've ended up having to implement it from scratch.

Depending on the topology of the data, different metrics are used and you can make different performance tradeoffs. And differing business use cases make it hard to find a one-size-fits-all. As I'm sure you're aware, there are dozens of fast ANN approaches, and the code implementing the ANN often is the tightest loop, making hard to be pluggable and performant.

TileDB is also quite interesting.

Best of luck though, I agree with you there's a "missing product" to be invented, I'm not sure this is exactly it, but I don't think I know any better.

One of the big things that strikes me about these journalists who leave their papers or start a side gig on Substack is the marked decrease in the quality of their writing. The role of the copy-editor is extremely important.
Did you read the whole article?

>“Not only that, but they’re also upset I was wanted by Interpol.”

Note the use of "was" here.

> I got some sort of semi-excuse regarding their claim that I lied on my application. They also said that they agreed it wasn’t fraud or similar really. So both of the points they made regarding the denial were not really the reason,” Sunde clarifies.

This sounds different from "concealing criminal history".

that's not what i said. we should have good housing policies, but rent control is a bad housing policy.
The poor will only be subsidising the middle class if they pay a more taxes than the rest of socierty.

Given that the lowest 20% of incomes in denmark only pays 2,5% of the income taxes I think its hard to say they are paying for other people. (Ref https://www.berlingske.dk/privatoekonomi/se-hvem-der-betaler...)

Haven't been in a while, but when they still had the annex on-base there was an A-12 there. Have they moved it into the museum proper? That'd be a sight to see next to the SR-71.

Tacit Blue is also worth a look. It's honestly hard to imagine anything so ungainly actually taking to the air.

ETA: Dunno if they still have it on display, but for a long time they had just the forward fuselage of Bock's Car sitting unloved in a corner. It's hard to reconcile the destruction unleashed by that single plane with the utter impotence of a piece of it sitting helplessly in a museum.
crypto is also useful for avoiding high fees on foreign remittance, e.g. sending money home.
Prices are still high so it's safe to say that people aren't tired. It's also hard to determine how much of what's going on is a bubble and how much is just the new normal. There's a lot of money floating around and it has to go somewhere - stocks, crypto, property etc.

If you aren't feeling great mentally, it might be good to not get emotionally involved in daytrading, speculation or anything related to crypto. Just park the money in a fund, don't touch it, don't check prices, and make sure that the rest of your life is okay.

VanillaVPN as name suggests focus on simplicity, not security. Other VPN protocols always encrypt traffic between you and servers with algorithms like AES-256. They don't have options to disable it, and transmit all packets without encryption. Disabling encryption has benefits like low CPU & Battery usage and increased bandwidth speeds.

But isn't unencrypted VPN bad idea? Actually, NO. For security, people already using TLS/SSL (HTTPS). It means your connection to websites are already secure, re-encrypting them twice doesn't make sense, instead it cause high CPU & Battery usage.

Also, VanillaVPN uses JSON for handshaking process. It is much easier to implement and maintain. And server has some sort of DHCP feature, capable of assigning new IP addresses to connected clients automatically from pool. So you don't need to preconfigure clients at the server like you do in Wireguard or OpenVPN.

For source code, it's not publicly available right now. But I will publish it in the next few months as open source.

> there was a ridiculous amount of unused land

The municipalities have to zone it first, and then build basic infrastructure. Whenever they try, they get bogged down by complaints by NIMBYers who really like their forests and the flying squirrels* that live in them.

* Not joking, the environments they live in are protected. And they live almost everywhere where there are enough trees to call a forest and you care to look for them. A lot of zoning plans get cancelled because of flying squirrels.
