Oh goodness I thought this was just me after searching online and finding very little, if any, discussion of the bug. The issue I had wasn't on password login prompts, but on account creation prompts (i.e. password+confirm password). I had assumed it was lastpass at first, but the freeze persisted even after removing that -- on a one-day old computer.
My thoughts:

Does this service allow me to deploy the apps on my own a VPS and/or dedicated server?

Does this service offer to host the apps I deploy?

Does this service allow me to specify a docker container?

There should be a full list of supported deployable apps.

Can I use forks of the available apps, or deploy from a git repo?

Do I get analytics (cpu, ram, visitors)?

[Assuming clear answers on earlier questions] So I can deploy a ghost blog from my phone? Maybe this could be elaborated.

Any plans to release a video example of the service's usage?

One strains themselves wondering how anyone could possibly know this as a fact. Take a breath and think about this statement for a second and it becomes absurd in the extreme. This is disinformation par excellence; it sounds great if you agree, but cannot possibly be a fact either way. Bravo

It is constantly amazing to me that although we had a white supremacist president in the US, HN commenters always want to stress how “illiberal and anti-human” left wingers are. If I recall correctly, there are about 525k bodies on that president to be accounted for first

This yelling/screaming in particular is presumably done at high speed due to it being a roller-coaster and all. Is fast moving air in the outdoors really going to contribute to significantly high viral load exposure?

I'd love to see the studies backing up the idea that screaming is actually a concern. This is a science based decision after all...

Another aspect: Don't people line up before they get on the ride? Isn't that more dangerous?

And finally: Raised voices? Does this mean arguing in public is now an offence?

EDIT: Article does state: "These guidelines do not require parks to prohibit screaming."
It surprises me how little the intention and philosophy of Bitcoin's creators and early adopters is discussed. For the most part, they were anarchists and libertarians with the explicit intent of destabilizing the state by offering a stateless alternative to one of the state's primary functions. Often this comes with specific economic beliefs that reject fractional reserve banking. It was a political manifesto in the form of software.

While some of the wilder takes on it would prove a little too optimistic -- the scaling problem, in particular, seems intractable -- in many ways it was still a success. You can carry $10 million across an international border in a brain wallet, and if you do it just right, there's no way for a government or similar actor to even know. It's very hard to estimate something like this, but I've seen estimates in the $20 to $150 billion range for 2019 or 2020 for the volume of Bitcoin moved for the international drug trade. This is Bitcoin working exactly as intended, of course.
You're still making bad arguments.

The majority of the citizens of the USSR were against its dissolution - but that didn't matter, it was mostly an elite affair.

I look at statistics and what people that I know and lived there told me. Most people who were adults at the time seem to regret the fall of the Soviet Union, and most people from post-Soviet states had to leave when they couldn't make a living anymore as the economy collapsed - despite post Soviet states being squarely in the middle of what you can expect from life on earth and above the median in all relevant metrics.

So certainly, it wasn't perfect, but it was very far from hell on earth, and squarely above the middle.

Your argument would also be stronger if you didn't classify Venezuela, a country with a bigger private sector relatively than France, as a communist country - Cuba, I've went there, was far from bad, much better certainly than where I came from, and despite debilitating American sanctions has a GDP PPP of over 21000$ which is quite impressive and above the average for the world, let alone Latin America, and by far the best of any country sanctioned by the US, and North Korea abandoned communism for a long time for their own "Juché" ideology which is basically Strasserism, preaches the superiority of the Korean race, and now allows private markets too.

Your stories are also quite telling - the computer I'm using was only possible under capitalism because the government gave itself the power to control ideas, as capitalism is otherwise incompatible with large-scale intellectual innovation. I drive no car, as it is far inferior to good quality public transportation plus walkable neighborhood, and my house is electrically heated by 100% renewable energy because we had the good sense of nationalizing the power grid and making massive investments in renewable energy (which we now produce at costs lower than any free market of energy, renewable or not).

The actual evidence when I try to look it at critically, shielding myself from all forms of propaganda (in the classical sense of the word), makes it clear that reality is far more nuanced than is common wisdom in these circles, and one of those results after careful study of history and data is that the USSR did not, in fact, have much of an issue retaining engineers and scientists, and relative to its size and prosperity did an okay job at innovating and keeping its population happy. Far from the best, but much better than most.
There are tax tools now. They cost $200+/year.
The issue that immediately came to mind was that if you change the kerning settings, then you can't input em dashes as --- anymore. See, for example, this Tex.SE question: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/315822/unwanted-kern....

But after a while I remembered the more fundamental point that bothered me:

> one might add that it's not just microtype that doesn't offer optical kerning -- it's structural limitations in TeX's typesetting that prevent it. To TeX, each glyph is contained inside a (I guess: black) box. TeX knows the outer dimensions of those boxes, but has no clue (and doesn't care) about what the glyph looks like that's inside it.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/139926/optical-kerni...

And this led to bad spacing for hyphens, which led to me experimenting with manual kerning, which led to the issue that I recalled first.

Also, I am not really convinced of the merits of Vim for LaTeX. Most of my time writing is spent revising, which requires a lot of "random access edits," and I'm at least twice as fast at jumping to arbitrary locations on screen using a mouse as I am with vim (even with the usual tricks).

(I tend to think of vim as something that was purpose-built for programming in C and with usefulness inversely proportional to how far a given task is from that purpose. While I realize that's not entirely accurate, I've found it a good heuristic. Programming: vim works decently for me. General purpose writing: not so much.)

Further, the ability to control-click .pdfs and skip to the corresponding place in the .tex file, and vice versa, is an amazing convenience. I understand that there are technically ways to do this in vim, but then at that point I'm using the mouse a ton anyway and I don't really see the point of vim (which is usually proposed to be "hands don't go off keyboard = write faster" in my experience).

So, yes, I could survive if forced to use vim. I just wouldn't like it.

Given this, and given I feel I'm much more willing to experiment with these things than the average person writing papers in the physical sciences. I can't even imagine how the conversation would go if I tried to tell my 72-year-old advisor that TeXShop's not going to work anymore because he updated his computer and it's time to get friendly with the command line. These people want to do science, they don't want to learn vim shortcuts.
Designing chips isn’t capital intensive, making them is.
No, it's not a lie at all. The idea is they would put up the signs when they reopen, then probably take them down when they're no longer required. This whole thing is a temporary measure.
> That worked well but was also fragile (less so than Linux. The BSDs are solid options.)

I seriously doubt you will run into more problems with Ubuntu or Fedora than you would with FreeBSD. It’s been awhile since I’ve tried, but the BSDs are basically optionless if you want to take full advantage of modern graphics cards. You boot into Ubuntu and the graphics stack, WiFi or Ethernet, it all just works. BSD is like using Linux a decade ago at best.
This is more or less what Yuval Noah Harari lays out in the first section of his book 'Sapiens': 1 - homo sapiens have a cognitive revolution 70k years ago which makes them able to think and communicate in more sophisticated ways. 2 - homo sapiens spread all around the world and wipe out ~all the large animals (including other human species..). His evidence from various places (Australia, America, various islands) of humans arriving then the large animals disappearing is pretty convincing.

Who cares if it's a science-based decision? It's a near zero cost measure that requires no real effort to implement. This isn't about shutting down outdoor dining.

Edit: I guess nobody understands cost benefit analysis here. Yes, the strength of evidence is low, but so is the cost, yet the potential payoff is huge.
> About 95% of Bitcoin is controlled by just 2.4% of the accounts

Bitcoin doesn't have accounts. It was txouts, which have addresses attached. AFAICT they're counting this by address, which is silly: most wallets use each address once. So in practice, this means an average person who uses Bitcoin regularly will have lots of small value txouts as coins get split up. There is no reliable way to associate addresses to individual people.

On top of that, there have been spam attacks in the past that created large numbers of very small value txouts.

Yes! Limitations inspire creativity; necessity is the mother of invention; video games from the earliest days of the industry / art form have (by far) the most replayability and "fun per pixel" or whatever metric you care to choose.
Yep, and TCP is L4. So TCP/IP is L4/L3.

The usual criticism of the OSI model is that there are grey areas and dependencies, where a lower layers bleed into higher layers (e.g. L2 switching which can work a lot like routing in modern hardware), and higher layers that are tightly bound to lower layers, making the distinctions unclear.

The purist in me wants to agree, but I think the model is too useful to disregard casually.

The value comes from the abstraction, and like Newtonian physics, it is a great model -- until it isn't.
So Bitcoin, without the Bitcoin.

Brilliant, why didn’t anyone think of this before.
I have found a lot of power in doing a retrospective on my own failures.

This post is very well written and I completely agree with the author that we should hear more about failure from others but I also think too many of us go through our day to days and rarely do a proper retro on where we failed. If only so we could get better.
Absolutely. Unsure how far Visa execution is but it could derail Coinbase IPO. Coinbase charges enormous amount to buy or sale (convert) my cash to digital coins. Its all digital anyways. If I could eliminate middle man and use cards I already have - including debit cards that Visa oversees, Coinbase would literally lose 99% of wallet holders. I mean only idiot would want to pay more to buy or sell digital currency. Besides Visa has much better and more sophisticated fraud and abuse detection network than Coinbase could ever imagine because only in USA they sit on everyones social security number that is already verified thru reporting burreaus.

It will be game changer - one button in my bank online profile to hold bitcoins/other wallets all branded and protected by Visa. Coinbase needs to IPO yesterday to offload stock to the last person to turn the lights off.

Yes, no objections there. I think the article's title is overpromising.

An "address" can mean anything - a person can have a wallet with multiple addresses, or an address could belong to an exchange with holds it on behalf of multiple people.

if transactions were done in btc, each transaction would amass the typical fees - which are pretty high at the moment.

converting btc to fiat to pay your visa card bill at the end of the month would be one transaction per month.

Bitcoin is just an asset that has some interesting traits, that make it more attractive to some people vs. other assets. Other assets will still exist. Other monies will probably exist too - they’ll have some benefits over Bitcoin in some use cases.

I don’t see why governments wouldn’t tax Bitcoin income and transactions the same way as fiat income and transactions. Me paying someone a hundred dollar bill is even less taxable than Bitcoin.

Obviously everything will sound dystopian if you take it to the extreme.
No, you don't "believe the same", because you only accept positively-biased reviews.
If you actually wanted to store value you would buy gold. You can't store value in Bitcoin because it has no inherent value. It's a distributed ledger on the internet. If I hoard 100% of the world's gold bullion, there's a good chance that people would want to buy it from me at a price similar to today's spot. If I hoard 100% of bitcoins, it loses all of its value. Moreover, if hyperinflation does occur, there's a good chance you'll face power and internet outages, which makes Bitcoin useless because you can't access it.
Because we don't laws and rules based on whether it takes effort nor not.
I get it, but on the other hand isn't that a bit like saying "why do I need to print to PDF instead of just save as PDF?" The UI isn't ideal but the feature isn't terribly buried.

It's because the format you want (regardless of it being the same format you started with) can't store quite as much metadata about your changes as the app's native format.
A good framework lets you gracefully progress from 100% autoconfigured to 95% autoconfigured, 5% customized to 90% autoconfigured, and so on. It does this by working in a consistent way, where framework-provided defaults behave the same as custom implementations of the same thing, and you can use the same tools and techniques to understand what the framework is doing as you use to understand your own application.

None of that's true of Spring Boot. The autoconfigured stuff comes in in its own fashion that's hard to relate to your normal configurations, and it's encapsulated in such a way that as soon as you want to replace part of it you find you have to reimplement all of it.
Or is the problem we revere “great people” and refuse to see their failures? A biography that holds their subject on a pedestal is not a very interesting one after all.

Ulysses Grant was a fantastic general that kept the US together during the civil war. He did commendable and not so commendable things as president. Grant was a born sucker if ever there was one. He constantly fell for every scheme in the book. He was unambiguous to a fault, and had a hard time promoting himself. He just by happenstance, and out of desperation, fell into the one thing he was much better at than anyone else. Otherwise we would have never have heard of him.

Washington did dedicate a lot of his time, energy, and wealth as general and president to the US. He had a kind of reserved outward lack of ambition that let him balance the egos around him. But, despite acknowledging slavery was contradictory to the revolution, he could never commit to freeing his slaves or finding a path to emancipation that robbed him and his wife use of their enslaved labor during their lives. They even pursued runaways like Ona Judge with some zeal and tried to lie to themselves that enslaved people enjoyed being part of their “family”.

These biographies are interesting because of the contrast in the failures of their lives with the successes.

True. If you throw ethics out the window and accept murder, then "immortality" may be possible with today's technology. Probably you run into problems with mutations eventually, but you could throw more bodies at the problem and use a selection process.

Maybe its clouds, or air quality, or general deteriorating climate, about 30 years ago, my village in plains of Punjab, we used to see lots of stars, constellations, & planets along with satellites at night time. Maybe absence of tv, mobile, culture of sleeping on roof in summers, made us more aware of stars. Full moon nights were like brightly lit. No moon nights were amazingly dark. We could see shadows in moon light. Things were just like day, but in dark blue grey color. We always saw the north pole star, few other groups, & watched milky way moving from side to side in night. Did not know its name, we call it SkyRiver in our language (Galaxy). For reference, now I am in northern california small town.

This is an amazingly cynical take. I mean, I wish you all the luck in the world in your attempt to get rich, but you're making a bet that the global economy is going to collapse, in part aided by a pandemic, and rather than doing anything to help, the world's wealthy are going to opt out of using their wealth to help anyone in favor of hoarding bit patterns on hard drives in their dragon caves. I don't think I want to live in a world where the rich are inventing new ways of evading taxes as their countries collapse from ecological disaster, especially when those ways of evading taxes are contributing to ecological disaster.

This seems destined to go about as well as all the Spanish and Portuguese who plundered the New World for centuries in their attempts to hoard real gold as their empire faded into the dustbin of history and mercantilism and then capitalism took over and the world realized actual wealth involved making useful things, not holding onto deflationary fixed supply assets for dear life.

The value add is marginal, but people will choose something that’s a little bit better if it exists.

That value add is that it’s scarce, and its scarcity is unlikely to be tampered with. This means people don’t have to jump through hoops to keep up with inflation. That’s it.
