It is permissionless. You can transfer BTC without a bank or eBay or the postal service being involved. It is the best way to buy LSD from a stranger. So it has some value because of that.

The fact we’re so far into crypto and NFTs that this famous bloggers take is “it’s bad for the environment” should be the signal he’s past giving relevant takes.

This would have been the take to have in the first months of Bitcoin.

A boomer can’t comprehend the actions of the generation where house prices rocketed and their salaries stayed the same. They’re going to do whatever it takes to build wealth and gambles like crypto, gamestop, nft are now the norm, anyone over 30 today realizes building savings and living within your means is now a waste of time as they still struggle to afford houses.

When it comes down to it “but the environment...” isn’t going to put anyone off, the environmental impact of AirPods never put anyone off the convenience of no cable so why would this?

Ask anyone who tried to quit smoking, how hard was it? It's difficult because of chemical dependencies. You need to get the body used to a lower dosage over time and incrementally lower the dosage. That's the only way you can make it work. It's possible thanks to vaping. It would work most likely work with other drugs like heroin.

> The CCP doesn’t allow the us companies the same.

Many of the biggest companies in China are from the US. This is a Fox News tier talking point that gets mindlessly parroted without any logical scrutiny.

Hundreds of billions are earnt yearly by US domiciled companies. Google alone brings in $50 billion from China to the US and they have been "banned" there for years.

Some others: Nike, Intel, GM, Walmart, Coke, KFC, McDonalds, Proctor and Gamble, Qualcom, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, 3M, Texas Instruments, Starbucks, Nvidia, AMD, the list goes on and is extensive.

Starbucks has around 70% marketshare. Have any of the people commenting here even step foot inside China before making comments like "US companies can't compete there"?

Who exactly in the us(sic) is locked out again? Garbage social media companies like Facebook and Twitter? Who cares? The world in general needs less of them.

Thank you for the insightful comment!
Nature physics is a reputable journal for physics, but it seems to struggle finding good reviewers for economics topics. It's unclear why they would even accept economics papers.

Some thoughts on this:
Peters has published with Gell-Mann, so physicists might be unreasonably impressed.
My feeling based on interacting with theoretical physicists at university is that there is a good portion of them who have little knowledge about and interest in other quantitative disciplines. They sometimes have a tendency to like to feel superior to "less rigorous" disciplines, so it's not unlikely that the particular reviewers were attracted to this?

Peters probably submits his papers to all kinds of journals, and probably very similar papers many times over. His more recent papers are kind of mono-thematic. The maths is not actually incorrect and easy to check, so once in a while they might get through the review process. Maybe that's the "ergodicity approach to publishing"?
Yes it's intractable because having homeless people is considered more desirable than actually solving the underlying problems because it would hurt special interests.

The average SF resident loves having homeless people because of the secondary benefits that homelessness brings.
Fun?

Just last week our shared hosting provider was attacked and the attacker tried to brute-force it‘s way into a management API. I cannot image another reason as „fun“ and „just because we can“ because there‘s nothing to get [besides money after encrypting all data].

So I think the attacker just attacks LE because it‘s in the internet and he can.
As in server logs? Accuracy would be the main thing. I did a study and found huge number of bots in server logs (AWStats shows 18 times higher number of page views than Plausible on my own website for instance). See https://plausible.io/blog/server-log-analysis

Colour LCD panels probably work out cheaper that LED matrixes.

An LED matrix has a great number of individual components, and is probably hand assembled due to low demand (compared to an LCD panel). Whereas an LCD panel are mass produced in every size and shape, with standard controllers you can pick up for pennies.
That’s actually a really slick design!
This article is bad, because it is not actionable.

So the author has met all of these corner cases about human names and encrypted them as “ha-ha, bet you didn’t know THIS could happen!” riddles? Cool, but I’m not interested in riddles, I’m interested in examples of corner cases, so I could determine whether they actually apply to my work.

Thanks to all HN people in the comments that provided examples.

>it will bring scarcity to the digital realm something that's important to fully develop the digital economy[...] The future is very bright, as they say. There's finally a way to monetize cyberspace for the everyman.

This isn't the future, this is enclosure of the commons feudal style, except for the fact that the physical commons were actually scarce so the proponents I suppose had some sort of point, whereas in the internet age we're actually making free and ubiquitous information artificially scarce to make the internet obey our insane economic logic

I'm a huge fan of Statamic (https://statamic.com) and I've been hankering for a way to work with git in a more interactive way from inside the CMS itself.

I'm not actually sure if it's the first CMS with a git GUI, so I'm happy to correct the heading if it's not the case.

Also, this is a premium add-on, not part of Statamic's core features (I'm not affiliated with Statamic).

It's been described by the Statamic core team as "Tower for Statamic, in the browser" and "insane". (https://twitter.com/statamic/status/1362771336964235274?s=21)
how does a standard for people in the tea industry to compare products make your life complex?
I think the patient would spend the rest of their life in physical rehabilitation. They would have to train their brain to remap every muscle movement. Coordination would be a nightmare and a major fall risk (very common way to die in a hospital). Then there is the whole digestive system, it is hard to believe it runs completely independently, and if that isn’t working right, it would be a horrible death.

As fascinating as these ideas are, hopefully repairing a severed spinal cord will be a reality soon:

This meme that living within your means and saving isn’t effective is ... dangerous.

It’s pretty always better to do so.

Saying ‘yeah but if I do that, I still won’t be able to afford x purchase’ easily becomes a justification for being in debt, which just doesn’t help.

Even if we don’t live in a meritocracy, behaving as if we do and assuming you can increase your merit, is an effective strategy.

Same way you fund any other 5-to-9 creative micro-business or passion. If you’re an unknown, no one is lining up to pay you to develop a prototype of your game idea, any more than they would if you were getting started in fine art or music.

How do other people fund their band practice or painting or pottery passion? If you already have a computer and can program, your prototype probably costs less money and time than what those endeavors cost those artists.
Unfortunately, with a 9-month old roaming the apartment, I haven't been able to enter a 'Deep Work' state in months.

Child-care isn't an option due to COVID, and since I work freelance while my wife has a full-time job, I've been the de facto Mr. Mom, squeezing in work whenever I have a free 10-30-minute block—which isn't often.

By the time he goes to bed, I'm fried from taking care of him all day, and entering into a productive 'deep work'-state is nigh impossible.

Advice to anyone considering having kids: try to live near a parent, and/or plan for childcare if you wish to get 'deep work' done. For caring for a child is, itself, 'deep work'.

On a serious note, articles about how for example the gut affects our mental state (all the way to links with autism) were posted to HN many times.

Calling the idea that our bodies are like side accessories attached to our brains “probably wrong” may be an overreach, but personally I suspect the stage at which it becomes a viable idea would also be one where we are able to just copy an entire human brain. (Which might just turn out not to be a meaningful proposition, but I guess we’ll see!)

And as long as we aren’t there/don’t know for sure, I’d put forward that the mere possibility of a “body replacement” actually destroying personality to an unknown extent is enough of a reason to never deploy it in foreseeable future except as last resort.

Drivers don't pay for special vehicles (London and NYC both require special vehicles for you to use). This also means you can use a more efficient vehicle so less fuel (all the Ubers here are Hybrids), cheaper maintenance etc.

No one runs away without paying at the end of the journey.

You never get robbed because you have no cash.

Very few people will vomit etc all over the back seat or damage the vehicle costing the driver. When they do, you've covered.

Insurance is handled before you're paid, so you get a bulk discount, pay with pre-tax money and only pay for the insurance you need.

The flexibility means you only have to work when there is actual demand and it suits you to. No more sitting alone in a cab with nothing to do for hours between rush hours, you can work a 9-5 and drive for uber on the weekends etc. Earning well is a lot less when it's a top-up on your other job than when this is all you have.
The gas is paid in ETH, which is only backed by 30c each (even less if you count premine).

julia> 100.00 tethers / (1670.27 tethers / $0.30 )
0.017961167954881545

So in real terms the current gas fees are just 1.8c ;)

And yes, there are people and smart contracts who are today paying 1670.27 tethers to get control of 1 ETH. Even worse there are people who are paying 1670.27 real US dollars for the same, but it will not last for long.

Ethereum ICO funding created a huge incentive misalignment between investors and users. The ETH was crowdfunded as the "fuel for the worldwide computer", kind of AWS Credits, but in reality it was a stake/shares in an Ethereum mainnet network.
Haggling is fun! You should learn to enjoy it. What’s not acceptable is changing the terms after an agreement has been reached. A deals a deal, even with a dirty dealer.

In all those stories the drivers are preying on the weaknesses of the passengers. It’s like a bully berating someone at lunch in kindergarten. The answer is the same, you yell right back at them. Assuming you’re not stupid enough to pay up front you still hold the cards as you can refuse all payment as well.

"For many Black people who have found success, the idea of 'personal wealth' doesn’t exist because to have wealth is to share it. Their money isn’t just theirs; it’s their mom’s rent, their sisters used car, food on the table of a struggling family member, Christmas gifts under the tree. For every dollar earned, you don’t value it based on what it can get you, but how far it can go for others."

I went to SF two years ago. I was just shocked by the amount of drugs around. Walked out of my hotel at 8 AM and was offered crack. Waiting at the walk signal, there would be people in the throes of a high hallucinating and screaming at no one in particular. I brought sandals with me on the trip but had to stick to close toed shoes because of the needles/human waste on the streets. I used to just love SF when I was younger, but my recent trip really put me off.

The sad thing is, I think it’s good that SF is trying to treat addicts differently. However, I don't know if they’re attracting more addicts because they are lax or maybe you just see more because they aren’t thrown in jail? I’m not from Cali so I don’t know the situation too well. Sadly, it just seems like it’s spiraled out of control whatever they’re doing.

> It could turn out that a lot of other types of memory, like muscle memory or emotional memory, are more distributed

They aren't. We've removed almost every body part/organ we can and it doesn't seem to have any effect on your emotional memory. Muscle memory actually involves the nerves of the muscles, we already know that, but it's not the kind of conscious memory the rest of the comment refers to.
String constant generation for C is wrong. It should be

const char X[] = "This string cannot be reassigned.";

instead of

const char *X = "This string CAN be reassigned";

In the second case, you can do

X = "Another value";

X wouldn't be constant, but only the value it points to. Also, it costs sizeof(char *) more memory than the actual string contents.

The summary:

> Some earlier work has suggested that better liars are also better at detecting lies. But as the team notes, bullshit isn’t quite the same, as it falls just short of outright deception.

> Recently, researchers have begun to treat bullshitting as having two separate dimensions. “Persuasive bullshitting” is motivated by a desire to impress or persuade. “Evasive bullshitting” is different — as a “strategic circumnavigation of the truth”, it’s the sort that a politician might engage in when trying to cover up a mistake, for example.

> The team found that people who reported engaging in more persuasive bullshitting were more receptive to all forms of bullshit (pseudo-profound, pseudo-scientific and fake news). However, higher scores for evasive bullshitting were not related to susceptibility to the first two forms of bullshit, and were actually associated with less susceptibility to believing fake news.

I'm still not sure what the distinction between lying and bullshitting is.
Two reasons come to mind:

If you can't see through bullshit, you might think others can't either, and are thus more likely to bullshit yourself.

If you can't see through bullshit, you may think others are actually accomplishing some of the things they claim, and will be more likely to embellish your own story to "keep up".

I'll give you the Animals as your likely right and it's more a turn of phrase than a logical argument, however I have to respectfully disagree with regards to AI. A thing that is trained to recognize and prefer is exhibiting behavior - it is not experiencing 'appreciation' with all that implies at the human level. A machine may pick good art out of a line up but that art will not improve its mood or inspire it to take up painting or make it want to write a poem to an old lover it was reminded of. AI can be useful in creating art perhaps, but I don't see it ever as an end user consumer of art's appreciation.

What makes you think that? Free market capitalism is premised on the existence of a “market.” A “market” is not something that exists in the state of nature. In particular, you need some sort of property rights. If you can kill people and take their stuff, as in the state of nature, or use violence to coerce labor, then you don’t have “markets.”

You don’t need a government necessarily to enforce those rights, but free exchange of goods and labor cannot exist if violence is possible to coerce those exchanges.

People closer to the ground can comment better. But to summarize, tenure decisions in Stanford reputedly take into account whether you are involved in startups etc. Berkeley is more traditionally academic, as far as I understand.

As for the political spectrum, Berkeley is left-liberal. I am not sure about Stanford. It is also somewhat liberal, even though conservative/libertarian think-tanks like the Hoover institution are based on the Stanford campus.
What you need is simple incremental growth. Let people decide what they need instead of dictating what they need. This means increasing the number of available options. If there is a way to increase options while retaining things like sunlight then you should do that.
Assuming there is nothing like a "soul" which persists only in relation to the current cells in your brain, you aren't even the same person you were 2 seconds ago. It's literally no different for the transporter. The "you" of 2 seconds ago is no longer conscious either. Since consciousness is so mysterious, I think admitting our ignorance on the issue is probably the most reasonable approach atm.
