According to OP's comment, it has received 76 - 11 = 65 karma as of now.
I guess you don't know about family trusts.
Interestingly... too fast can be a problem too. A prime example is this site, Hacker News, on a really fast browser. I'll often sit there waiting for a navigation to load, until I realize it had already loaded (to a similar looking page), just so fast I didn't notice the transition.

> If I buy 100% of the world's gold, gold would still be valuable

Sure, yes. It would be valuable in the way that a barrel of oil is valuable. It has a number of practical uses in electronics, medicine, etc. Valuable as a currency or means of transferring wealth? Not as much. It's cumbersome for that role.

Bitcoin's value is not "coins". It is valuable for what it does (transfer wealth). It's a ledger, not really "coins".

Did you read the original article? It's actually worth the read if you didn't yet.
Ah snap they’re on to me. :(
I suppose that's fair enough. The peak and average exertion for curling is well above either of those, but it's clearly not the physical strength/endurance that determines winners. Perhaps an odd entry point for e-sports though, given examples like you have given.
Olympics added beach volleyball because they needed ratings and advertisers.

Curling was added because it’s ok winter sport that draw enough viewers and advertisers.
> trivial if you already know a language like C

The few times I've been stuck writing code for a platform without access to a compiler, I just wrote it in pseudo-C then hand-compiled it. Once I got comfortable I could "compile" on full mental autopilot, checked out and watching TV at the same time. But it's horribly dull work, like doing arithmetic by hand.

So you're saying that the only benefit of bitcoin is that is is useful for committing crimes. Gotcha.
A lot of companies, and particularly Amazon, always have an easy path to profitability in their back pocket. They simply choose not to be profitable because it means they'll pay less taxes and grow faster. It's a lot easier to "stick with it" with this in mind.
Entering in username + password is probably the only feasible way. Suboptimal for sure, but worked for mint...

In practice, this would probably start out with plugins for only sites that make data public. Not perfect, but still useful.
@zepto I do agree with the last section of your child comment to this thread. I can't reply to it. I had no idea that there is limit to hierarchy of comments in HN.
One argument is that horses are living creatures. Farming them as labor slaves to meet the needs of industry is cruel and would likely have comparable environmental impact to factory farming meat.

> What is the incentive for a 51% attack (on Bitcoin specifically)

Besides trying to destroy bitcoin, couldn't such an attack be used to simply drive up transaction fees for anyone who wanted to use it? For instance, if they refuse to process transactions with a fee below a threshold, they'd leave money on the table in the sort term, but eventually the higher fee requirement would have to be discovered and transactions reissued to pay it.
I don't know for sure, but even with the max-1 purchase limit, the toilet paper section of the aisle is somewhat lightly stocked on some of my visits. (Of course, if you've told me for a year that TP is in short supply, you can bet that I have a lot of it on hand in the basement, so it's hard to get a clean read. "If there's space in the cart and TP on the shelf, why not pick one up? It's $10, never spoils, and never goes out of style.")
Lambda layers is another option.
>Hong Kong widely considered to be a very livable city

By whom? Ricchie McRich?

Every working class Hong Konger I talked to (even highly skilled ones) said living there is cramped and brutally expensive and would like to emigrate.
Kicking people out of their homes doesn't solve the supply problem, because it doesn't create new housing. It just shuffles around who lives in existing houses.

If you have a housing problem, and you want to solve it, you need to do two things.

1. Not kick people out of housing that they have. (Because it is incredibly disruptive to people's lives.)

2. Build new housing, until demand is met.

Rent control accomplishes #1, proper city planning accomplishes #2. If you're not doing #2, complaining about #1 isn't going to solve the problem.

If you are doing #2, then #1 isn't a problem.
Yes, that is my recommendation as well. It is too late to add that to my comment now, but it is worth mentioning what I said should be a last resource solution.
The market rent has a direct influence on the value of a home - it's one of the standard home appraisal methods.

Berlin has a lot of empty space, including various brownfields that would look better if they were built over.

German construction industry used to be chronically overbooked, though. IDK how does the situation look now.

German bureaucracy probably does not help. When it comes to red tape, Germany is one of the most onerous countries to do anything new.
I believe what helped Trump win was all the (left leaning) news sites covering him saying, “look how stupid he is”, but then some saw it and sided with him. By giving him a platform, they helped put him in power.

> I don't see countries going to war over BTC (or the mining pool) as they already have cornered all the fiat currencies in a tight system.

I think that's the point here. Unlike BTC which is powered by Proof of Work (POW), the US Dollar is powered by Proof of Violence (POV). As a result the full accounting for the externalities caused by US dollars would have to include the cost of supporting and using the largest military industrial complex in the history of the world to protect the market for oil being denominated in US Dollars (petrodollars).
oh wow nice to see this on HN! I wrote this blogpost - happy to answer any questions!

yes it works very well for Netlify; when i joined the frontend dev team i immediately saw the value of this idea and begged the eng and design team members (that came up with the idea) for permission to write it up

for those interested, I recently adapted this idea for project prioritization https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1366849232959807489?s=20 because I was searching for a better alternative to the nonsensical effort estimation vs impact backlog grooming systems prevalent in product management.
I said this elsewhere in this thread, and I’ll say it again here: what you’re describing is Redfin. They’ve been originating loans for a couple years now, and creating that efficient vertical integration.

> Do people still use jQuery?

All the time.

The official replacements for the stuff jQuery does tend to be verbose and non-orthogonal, as compared to the much more unified and consistent API of jQuery.
Here in Italy I already have 28 days of paid vacation and can't be fired without motive and a judge can reinstate the worker if the motive was not valid

That's a political issue, it has nothing to do with how currencies work

If the milk seller is going to lower the prices to beat competitors, workers will compete on salaries as well

nothing different from what we have now, the only difference is that rich people could amass fortunes much more easily than today

they'll just need to keep their money in the bank (i.e. their gold reserve will keep appreciating by the virtue of existing)
Sure, and it's even harder to collect taxes from cash transactions. The thing is that with or without Bitcoin you still need financial institutions, so I'm not sure your tax evasion plan is as brilliant as you think it is.
That example looks like a strawman to me. In practice, x would probably originate from outside the function, as a parameter or class member, and there is a good chance it could hold the value null or undefined. Seems like way too much additional work with little to no benefit to make the compiler track things like that through the whole application. Worse, the variable state could intentionally be hardcoded to try things and it would be weird if the compiler would error because the variable is never set to undefined, when I might be hardcoding it to undefined later on.
SPAs were perfectly good before with ExtJS and similar, and more easily extensible too.
Giving people "incentive to move" – aka forcing them out of their homes – doesn't increase supply. Unless they're "moving" onto the streets in which case you did free up a flat.
It goes without saying to his audience that you can't "monetize a platform-based storefront" without tracking users across websites?

Maybe I don't understand what "monetize a platform-based storefront" means exactly. He's talking about the particular store on shopify making money, not shopify itself getting customers, right?
You misunderstand the nature of money. Money means society owns something to the holder of the money. By not spending money, society is temporarily richer.

Also, sorry, but I don't care how productive other people's kids are, or "the economy". I care about the well-being of my kids. yes, I want everybody to be happy if possible, but my kids have priority to me.

And what exactly is "hypocritical"? What are you referring to? You assume everybody should have the same starting position in life, and I reject that notion.

Children of course are not at fault for the actions of their parents (like if they are drug addicts and have an unwanted child they can't afford, the child is not to blame - but neither are other people's children or parents). But that doesn't mean every child should automatically get the same "starting money". This is not a game of monopoly.

As I said - people compete to give their children the best odds. That is not even unique to humans, it is true for all of nature.

If you take that away, why bother with anything? Why should you bother to get a good job to be able to support your family? Just fuck and live the good life, and dump your children on society to be taken care of.

Already in the west everybody gets a pretty good deal in the form of an education.
Ask HN: I have been ghosted from 3 companies. What am I doing wrong?
Either after initial conversation with recruiter, or after submitting a take-home assignment, I simply stop getting any responses from the recruiters. I try emailing them but never hear back.

Background: 5+ SWE years at FAANG. The companies range from 200 to 5000 engineers.

Are non-FAANG companies nowadays ghosting instead of rejecting?

Languages aren't incompatible at all. People choose to use excessively liberal package-mangement systems.
If it helps make up your mind at all, I was much the same the way until I ended up trying Ada. After a night bashing my head against the compiler... well now every time I see a new language pop up I quickly check a few of the features I've become too attached to from Ada and usually* leave in disappointment.

You can decide for yourself if this is an endorsement or a warning. Or both.

*Exceptions obviously exist for very different niches or paradigms.
jQuery solved (and solves) a lot of browser inconsistencies (fewer now than before) and I guess a lot of older codebases still rely on it, so I am glad to see it is still moving forward. However, jQuery has a built in problem in modern web development, as the DOM-functions that now makes it obsolete, as in it does not solve the more complex problem of state management and scoping of components. For some sprinkling on top of server side rendered web pages I guess it still has some value if you need to cater for older web browsers, but for those who build applications that handles state and components for the current setup of browsers it is not needed in your toolbox any more when bootstrapping new projects. However, it helped us getting to a point where we could rely on solid libraries and focus on building better user experiences. I am glad it still gets updated but will probably not write "jQuery-code" anymore in my professional life.
That's hardly relevant for someone looking at them in 2021, of for choosing a "global reserve currency" which involves a staggering appreciation of both. Bitcoin 2021 has been 85% "premined", the only difference is that it is (much) more widely distributed.
Actually it's the RAD750 that runs this machine. This is specifically hardened for the rigours of space and Mars. An ordinary 750CX would just curl up and die. I still have an iMac equipped with a 750CX and it seems so ancient compared to my Threadripper!
I just joined a major tech company, after consulting for 8 years all around the industry.

My take is code quality is concentrated in the FAANG level companies. They have a strong moat in just really good software engineering that leads to stable, fast reliable products.

I ask myself why this is?

I think there's something to:

- They hire the best technologists, have high standards when hiring... these folks put the effort in to make something they're proud of

- The leadership is tech literate, and understands how/where to build and payoff technical debt. What you need to build in-house, what to outsource/purchase, etc

- Because of higher tech literacy: the leadership/devs tends not to heavily cargo-cult buzzwords like "AI" etc (even though this is what their marketing depts push) and focus on the unsexy work that maters (reliable, maintainable software)

HOWEVER

Outside of the FAANG-verse, you have a variety of different cases with different incentives for code quality:

- The startups that just need to do whatever it takes to deliver an MVP before the money runs out. Lots of coding heroics to do this!

- The enterprisey big companies without strong tech leadership, they hire anyone with a pulse that can do development. These places there's often a couple smart people holding things together with lots of mediocre devs at best augmenting the smart devs, at worst moving things backwards. You also have leadership that doesn't understand how to make good tech leadership decisions, and often doesn't understand the tradeoffs carefully.

These are gross generalizations, of course, but on average with this pattern I think high quality code concentrates in the upper end of the market.
Meta-Research: Citation Needed? Wikipedia and the COVID-19 Pandemic
I think this noise isn’t really a problem unless people misunderstood pypi.

Pypi is not a white list, it’s just an index.

People shouldn’t randomly download packages without understanding and verifying EVERY one.

I think this is lazy devs and users who mixed up the App Store with pypi. These “exploits” aren’t very useful other than helping people understand these problems.

It seems like an easy solution that some company could set up to test and verify packages and create a white list service that I could subscribe to.

I currently use dependency checkers like safety and snyk that will alert me to real vulnerabilities like when someone takes over a package.

That I care about. We’re someone to take over pandas and put malicious code, that would be damaging.

That’s also why I pin all packages to specific versions and don’t update unless necessary.

I think this can be solved by better training.

I worry that these articles are some new form of FUD against Python. So far, I’ve gotten some non-tech security folks ping me about “Python vulnerabilities” because they read these articles. But it’s pretty easy to evaluate if my org is actually at risk by reviewing the dependency graph and seeing that no one is using these 3500 bogus packages.
I saw/heard this same effect from politicians in the US Congress & Former President.

Politicians denigrating "wind mills" i.e. wind turbines. And exaggerating their fault in Texas' February 2021 power outages. Clearly the particular politicans are biased towards the fossil fuel lobbyists. I just really hate when they play politics with economic factors such as power generation.

Less polluting, Renewable Electricity/Power generation is a public good.

It should be prioritized over the private gains of fossil fuel executives/employees/lobbyists.

Stop playing politics with my power system.
I would agree with GP that having “beats” in the title when omitting that a key part of the game (sweeping) wasn’t included kinda makes it nonsense. It’s still neat though for sure.

Next up “robot beats F1 drivers” (on straightaway).
So, you're telling me all the progress we've made so far has been wasteful and damaging to the environment? I agree.

Look at the ecological damage humans have caused! Several other animals extinct because of us, we've taken over their space on earth too. Our greed has caused this.

We must boycott all new things until nature heals.
Sure, like all systems, there are overhead costs involved. But with something like a typed system, the overhead costs are minimal compared to the benefits you reap from them.

One of the projects I worked on during my transition to typescript was to convert an existing project into it. Sure there was a lot of head banging against walls at some point to get the types to work out, but during that process I finally really understood how everything fit together and gained a sense of assurance that I could use a return of a function with complete confidence. Developing on that project afterwards was also a breeze, moving faster and more confidently knowing that the object types were set, and that guardrails were in place to prevent myself from shooting my own foot.

It's a new system to work within the guidelines of, but guardrails are there for a reason, to prevent you from falling off a cliff.

I don’t think that I’d try to slip an additional build time compiler in in a minor version update. While it’s not a runtime change, it is going to affect a large number of people, and they will all post comments on any issue that matches their particular “can’t install because we can’t find the header foo.h”.

(Speaking as someone who maintains a popular c/python package that is difficult to compile. )

Lucky you for not having devs that would rather be using Haskell Lens and stuff like that.
If my memory serves, IEEE FP is accurate for those real numbers that are also integers (at least on some range). JS users are safe as long as they stay within the integer algebra (ie they don't use division, mainly, or perhaps round up the result). Lua users have the extra option to recompile their interpreter it uses integers.
I use Roam, and I've had my eye on your project for many months now, so I'm super excited to see you come so far. I'm also passionate about privacy and having control over my data - IIRC the way Roam handles image uploads is by uploading the image to firebase and giving you a link that anyone can use to view your image, with no way to delete that image, so you just have to trust in the 'unlisted' nature of the link. Not a big fan of this.

One thing I think was missing when I last looked at Athens was a working high-fidelity import of a Roam EDN export - without this I can't see an easy way to migrate, and I'm guessing there are other Roam users in the same boat? I'm sure it'll come along, until then I'll sit tight in anticipation :)

There's a story I've seen about one of the first Internet developers, I think in Utah, who got a visit from an accountant or analyst or some such, who was visiting to verify he had storage for something like 3 billion packets, not realizing that these were network packets. Anyone got a link to the original?
I do like your theory that it was a honeypot from the left created to produce people to attack.

I would be surprised if our intelligence agencies and law enforcement didn't have a role in creating/running extremist sites. Seeing as the FBI likes to run child porn sites and infiltrate political groups that could cause instability, they are the most obvious perpetrators.
