I live in this neighborhood, about three blocks north of where the car club meets. I’m white. I’m a homeowner. You get the picture.

Honestly, these people complaining in Weaver sound insane. They moved into a community and it’s their job to integrate with the community. We have a Brit who lives on my street that does community organizing and he’s been wonderful about building a sense of community that integrates the old and new residents. They should really be talking to him or Pio, mentioned in the article, instead of calling the police and accusing the car club of dealing drugs. Yeesh.

With that said, I think there are legitimate criticisms about the car club. For one, they absolutely trash the place every Sunday. When I walk down to the lake on Monday, there’s just tons of trash on the ground. I don’t know who picks it up but it’s certainly not the car club.

Also, doing burnouts and donuts on public streets sounds fun but it leaves the road covered in tire rubber and I imagine it smells awful while they’re doing it.

Those are basically the two things I’d like to see change, and in my humble, gentrifier opinion, they seem like reasonable issues to talk about with the community. Instead of having those conversations, we get white people leveraging their white privilege in the worst ways and anarchist groups like “Defend Our Hoodz” intimidating new businesses that open up. Fun times in my little corner of the world.
It should be more effective because it forces you to write which institutionalises your knowledge and processes.
That's exactly why I got enough confidence to finally make a bet on Bitcoin after Tesla (and a few other large companies) put significant numbers in it.
Oh wow, I will check this out!

Thank you for bringing it to my attention

Well said. I like how you laid out both sides. For employees, this is a preference. I'm tired of the "best" narrative. Everything has trade-offs that are not calculated in.
Build a portfolio site. Add some smalls projects and share on github or similar. Start responding to freelancer dot com or similar sites where people are looking for cheap workers. You will be underpaid until you are busy enough to turn down work.

If you think Democrats are going to do anything apart from push big corporate interests I have some kids in cages err I mean in “reception halls” to show you. You seem like a vehement reader of Axios, they released pictures.
This is especially true of Pine's other interesting product, the PineWatch. There isn't a very clear path which of the many distributions that are available, is the right one to follow - Pine themselves don't seem to have any interest in setting up a canonical release asset that customers can follow, and I agree with you - this is fracturing the ecosystem.
It definitely still happens in the acoustic world, but much like the audio software world there's more noise to signal than there was in the past. Advanced instrument makers tend to work closely with artists, while there's a much larger market for cheaper, utility builds than ever.

I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. To me it says the impact of music has only grown and I don't think we've began to scratch the surface of understanding of what it really communicates and does for people, and how it does it (stop me before I get metaphysical). The increasingly wide reach and accessibility of the craft with a select of standout talents to me says renaissance.
Like all things bitcoin it's easy. It's a lot easier to press a button on your phone and transfer 100k then it is to go through the pains of a bank transfer or any other payment method. I know hacker news is American centric but not all counties have the same cap gains taxes, plus you have to actually have a gain to pay taxes and these are all sorts of ways to mitigate this.
If you want to get away with murder, use a car as your weapon. Drivers are almost never considered at fault and are almost never punished for killing pedestrians. Actual consequences would be a good start to addressing this.
> I want my program to remain working without having to change. it

Can't you bundle the interpreter, possibly stripped down and compiled as a static binary, along with your program?

But yes, strict backward compatibility, while having many downsides, provides a lot of value, too. The trade-off is situation and project dependent, and it's good to have both kinds of platforms: ones solid as a rock and moving slowly, and ones moving fast and breaking things.

Show HN: SEC 13F Filings – Investment Manager Quarterly Holdings Data
we, small enterprise software company, have opened the office under that model. What is happening is that some people have refused to return, myself included, some are doing the official 2 days a week, and others are going back full time. The office actually opened up last year, right after the first NYC fizzled out. There have been a few week long shutdowns of the entire office as some are found to have COVID-19.

My general thoughts are that there are a few people that got strong armed into returning, but most that are back in the office are happy to be there.
Pedestrians are getting dumber. I was taught as a child, never wear headphones when walking down the street or crossing the street. People today routinely are not only listening to music that completely drowns out the world around them, they're staring at a phone and completely oblivious.

Drivers are also to blame because they're doing the same dang thing!

Interesting data point that $TSLA operates its own full BTC nodes. Why not mining pools that use solar / spare car battery and tpu / cloud gpu cycles ;)
I'm sure Elon Musk is not fond of having to go through Coinbase to buy bitcoin. He seems to have a disdain for financial middlemen and any tech leader not named Elon Musk.

This allows for bitcoin to be put directly into Tesla's wallet with no cost to them.

Except the criticisms for Node are many and widely spread.
Most bitcoins were mined into existence when bitcoin was much cheaper than it is today, and thus the energy spent mining was much smaller.

Transaction cost is probably about 100-200 kilowatt hours.
Aha yes, I see
> had great software as the foundation

This is obviously something that affects how competitive you can be. As an example, our software allowed a customer to go from 5-6 hours of work in their previous application, to less than 10 minutes in ours for a typical workload.

However, a big remaining issue is that there's a lot of local laws and procedures around which are not exposed in a computer-friendly way. If they are computerized they're often old systems with serious limitations.

For example, import declarations in Denmark is limited to only 99 goods items, so consolidation of goods items is almost required, especially in e-commerce settings, which again makes it more difficult if things are re-exported (customer didn't want that jacket say).

This can't be fixed on the commercial side, it requires work by the government agencies.
Lobbyists didn't lobby hard enough.
I don't think anyone is arguing BTC is energy efficient. It intentionally isn't, by design. Now, whether the tradeoffs are worth it is another question entirely.
Such is the cost to produce electronics in America...
Gmail won't load remote images when you open the mail. It will load images from Google servers that have been cached.
Surely if we were to have the console on iPad (and all the features that are not developped on iOS as of now), we probably could release a native MacOS app along.
But realistically it will not be in the near future, as the iOS app is lagging a fair amount behind the electron app.
As of now, we're focusing on iOS on the simplest and most used functionalities as well as features that works well with touch UI.
If only it affected Whites more, then we could ignore the problem.
Forget Moore’s Law. Algorithms drive technology forward
I didn't really comment on the relationship between the gold peg and inflation. What I was trying to say is pulling in disparate indicators like wage growth and national debt and blaming them on coming off the peg is wrong. What's interesting about the inflation picture is that there was significant inflation while on the gold peg. It wasn't like people were using gold coins in 1970; they were using dollars, created from loans.

In theory, there is now no limit to amount of money the Fed can create, but in practice there is a limit. Unlimited money creation without a matching rise in economic output would lead to massive inflation. They actually show incredible restraint in money creation, because their aim is not to see who can create the biggest pile of money in the world, but rather to keep inflation and unemployment low.

You're right that there are opportunities for wealthy people with good credit ratings to make money, but that would be exactly the same in the gold pegged world. If it's any consolation, a lot of that "wealth" is in fact unrealisable, at least not in the aggregate. Only increased productivity and new discoveries can raise our collective stock of wealth.

The Art of Keeping things simple
This is still 4 times more expensive than the biggest Pinephone, which of course is a lot more limited in computing power, memory, storage and other areas, but sometimes people just want the bare minimum to enter the world of open phones. I wonder what's the reason behind Purism ignoring the low end market completely.
If banks and governments keep writing apps only for the duopoly, then there is the argument that the duopoly becomes a public utility and should be opened up.

This view would also protect FOSS projects that emulate the iOS environment (e.g. Wine but for iOS)
I use NotePlan[1], which is a similar app, and it's a joy. The downside of NotePlan is that is available only for Apple devices.

That was my first thought but this part of the quote is important: "whichever it wants."

In other words, Tesla will very likely refund you in Bitcoin unless there's a serious issue.
It's not even the lack of apps directly but the effect of not having one of the two supported OSes.

For example, the Dutch government is slowly pushing everyone to either use their authentication app (for DigiD, the national digital government authentication service), or just stop using digital government services all together and just digitally mandate friends or family to handle your digital affairs. This latter option is of course targetted at the infirm and elderly. People who are able, literate, and have computers with modern OSes on them at the ready, but not one of the two smartphone OSes are considered to be such a minority that they can be safely ignored until they fold and get a cheap Android device.

I don't have a smartphone with Android or IOS, and I get nudged constantly when using DigiD (on a laptop or desktop computer) to get the app for authentication. My bank also nudges me at every transaction (which I do on a desktop computer with a stand-alone card-reader they provide). I can't turn off the nudging or make the services remember my choice, and always have to perform an extra click to authenticate. The upcoming digital government law goes a step further and mandates a level of assurance that can currently only be met by the app for accessing your healthcare records. This is of course not required: you are also welcome to go to the healthcare provider in person and ask for you dossier on paper. And when you do so, you will be nudged at every step of the way to consider using their app.

If this is a pattern that occurs worldwide, then smartphones that do not offer these apps have a very limited audience, and will remain curiosities for tinkerers and privacy conscious folk willing to make the trade-off (or even have a separate Android phone for the stuff mentioned above, for each adult member of their household).

We somehow managed to get through the phase where Microsoft Windows was a hard requirement on your computer for compatibility reasons (remember how South Korea was stuck with ActiveX way beyond its sell-by-date?), but now we're stuck here.
WordPress is probably stronger than ever right now. I've never selected it for a project, never seen any client select it on purpose, never seen anyone give it more than a lukewarm endorsement, yet it still shows up everywhere. Even in giant enterprises. It's inescapable and undying. I suppose that's as good as testament as anything that it's not nearly as bad as people say.
> I worry that MBAs of other companies will take

Sorry just want to nitpick - this really has not a whole lot to do with MBAs or any degree specifically. I think it would be a little bit more beneficial to swap MBA with management. Many of the things you're discussing are true of engineering managers, researchers with PHDs, and accountants and not specifically one group of people with one degree - they don't run the whole world and have exclusive ownership of "all the bad decisions".
Also: the MBAs are probably salivating at the fact that they won't have to pay SV-level wages for developers anymore.
I was talking about the incident in Hamburg, not at the Suez canal. I'm not sure about Suez, but I'm pretty sure you don't get to choose whether and how many tugs you need at Hamburg; the port will decide that.

The article cites a tug captain as saying that they have a very limited ability to react to big ships being pushed by strong wind. They compare it to driving a care on ice.

Because people are riding their bikes and walking to get places, not just recreationally . Those bike trails are probably great for a nice weekend trip, but not getting groceries or going to work.
Here in Norway it's mostly been a lack of focus and money.

The government doesn't seem to consider the huge hidden cost to the businesses in the country this represents, and the businesses haven't been stellar at highlighting it, which I guess is because they mostly just push that cost onto the consumers.
I agree that it is interesting but we haven't learned how to take care of this planet and it has unlimited (with appropriate behavior/population changes) resources. We never consider that humans evolved for this gravity and have no permanent home on the moon but people want to terraform Mars or Venus. Even if we did, we'd destroy them even quicker. We don't need another option until we've proven we can take care of the free gift we already have.
I must really like down votes because "single most important technology project going on out there" is quite the stretch. Hell, I would argue that over the last year during a pandemic doordash was more important(feeding people while letting them be socially distanced).

Drivers have the sole responsibility to safely pilot the multi-ton vehicle under their control. Stop blaming the victim and blame the perpetrator instead.
Investing in Filecoin (FIL)
When selling a property, the seller must disclose anything in the surrounding environs that may have a material impact on the property's value. For example, when I bought a home years ago, the disclosures were very long and included things like a super-fund site miles away.

This situation would certainly qualify for a residence--if a loud party shows up every weekend that makes traffic terrible for a while, that should have been disclosed.

But the issue here is with renters, and property management doesn't have to disclose that to renters.
There is nothing wrong with App Stores. See: F-Droid and GNU/Linux repositories. The problem is in multinational monopolies.
Since Bitcoin is mainly only used for crime, does that mean that Tesla is enabling criminal movement? Didn't someone get indicted recently for providing a service that was used by criminals? Let's get them, DoJ!
Bugmen: What Are They?
Yeah, that would be reasonable.
Tesla’s killer feature is the charging network.

I haven’t seen any other manufacturer seriously address that. They all seem to assume that it will be magically “figured out” when these cars release. Electrify America and ChargePoint are garbage by comparison.

IMO, Amazon should just buy Rivian and outfit all Whole Foods with chargers.
In this case, we know that extensions are sometimes sold and updated maliciously. Having external arbitrary code is a legitimately concerning vector because it bypasses Google verification of the extension.

Not that Google are great at their jobs in that case, but it's something.

So it's not paranoia in this case, it's "we can't have nice things" because of real bad actors.

Alice and LHCb are around 1k. ATLAS and CMS are closer to 3k. There are some very cool experiments at CERN that have less than 100 members, which typically take advantage of either existing LHC interaction points[1] or the accelerator chain that feeds the LHC[2].

The benefits of coming in quickly fade away with shared spacing. It often makes sense to work in the coffee shop below your office.
My old IoT (but without the cloud) startup's products. I still have a few left over that I wanted to use around my house. I had a crosscompile and flashing process set up that worked well in 2011, fixed it in 2014, but it's broken again. All of the embedded software was designed around a realtime kernel and SysVInit, and SystemD is just one obstacle of a thousand that has to be surmounted to even get the hardware and software to boot in a special snowflake setup on a newer Debian, let alone something reliable and repeatable.
> Testing with the database isn't particularly efficient.

Anecdata, but my experience with Ecto sandbox + thousands of tests says otherwise. Mocking would be faster? Probably. But IMO not worth the effort, given it's already fast enough.

To be fair, I have worked with Elixir codebases that generated humongous amount of data per-test, only to test a fraction of this data. This kind of test was slow, but it would be much more efficient to generate only the data you actually need.
The idea of a group of T-Rexes hunting and fighting over prey like a flock of chickens is outright scary. :D
Python Community Interview with Dane Hillard
I know Vertex has a reputation for being lightweight but 100MB for a JVM webapp seems unrealistic to me.

For instance, a barely used Jenkins needs 200MB.
I noticed that in my organization the senior folks stayed in the office but sent all the workers home to create the safety buffer. They continued to show up and network with each other.

I believe MBAs are going to love this new world order. The privilege to show your face in the office will become a sign that you've "arrived" and all your time before that will be working towards that privilege.

Any office will be the new corner office.
> But this assumes the thing does not offer greater value to you in return. In that case, why are you paying for that service at all?

Its about making the customer feel good about using your product vs making them do a business calculation every time they use your product.

If you sold me a compiler and charged me every time I ran it(assuming no other compilers exist for this use case), it would certainly create value for me. BUT, I would run the compiler as little as possible. I would invest in linters / develop one in house. I would put processes and tooling around the compiler so that we ran it as little as possible.

Instead, if I paid a flat one-time/monthly fee for the compiler, I would get as much use out of it as possible. I would love that fact that I have a great tool at my disposal. I would evangelize it to my coworkers, since "we already paid for it".

When riding my bicycle I am just appalled at how almost suicidal many pedestrians are. Not only it's par for the course to not look around, it somehow became normalized to cross the street in a diagonal facing AWAY from incoming traffic.

Cyclists are also completely unaware, it's almost depressing to stop at a red light and just watch swaths of riders zoom past into incoming traffic.

One thing i'd like is diagonal crossings that would force you to look in the traffic direction. But then, most people don't bother to walk 10 meters to use the crossing anyways.
Everyone has ideas, but what is the next step?
No comment on the contents of the thesis, I just find it funny to have a blink link to a PDF in a thread about zero trust.
I don't know why green thread based languages do not export a pooling interface on their FFI.

Pooling much nicer interface to implement than callbacks, and a quite easy concept to plug one interface into another.
Maybe the problem is not only the failure of planners to provide safe spaces for pedestrians and cyclists, but also the drivers of these "large heavy dangerous automobiles" who behave like the roads belong to them alone...
