HN is not the place to discuss crypto. As a whole, the comments are consistently bearish.
They've been around a while, it actually seems quite cool. Bastion hosts are simple to setup, sure, but Teleport adds a whole bunch of porcelain on top, e.g. integration with SSO, web UI for administration, etc.

Haven't used them myself but I wouldn't be against trying it if in the market for something like that.
I can recall being called into the CEO's office one day, close the door he says. I'm thinking uh-oh nothing good can come after that statement. He proceeds to tell me that he put a CD into the floppy drive and could I please remove it. I was sworn to confidentiality, never happened.
This fad has unfortunately not fully died yet!

In my opinion the 'long covid' was a line thrust into the spotlight from the media to justify continued restrictions.

Person A: 'We should open up'
Person B: 'Have you not heard most people have serious health problems after covid?'

When we talk about proportional reporting I think of the book 'Thinking fast and slow'.
No, we had CGI.pm and a bunch of other stuff like Mason. Then came Plack and then Mojolicious and we threw out CGI.pm. Good riddance. I am so glad we picked Mojo over Catalyst or Dancer. Now the other two frameworks are basically dead and they were also technically inferior back then. Catalyst pulled 90+ something packages as a dependencies, Dancer was stuck at version 1.3 and they were rewriting it as Dancer2, which is still being rewritten at the pace of four patch versions every year. It'll probably be ready by the time Mars is colonized. Mojolicious just released it's 9th major version this spring, which has promises and other modern stuff. We started at 2.52 or something.
I for one think Mark Zuckerberg should not be on the GCC Steering Committee. But I'm not on the GCC Steering Committee and have made no contributions to GCC of any sort, so my opinion on this matter doesn't count. I hope they don't add Mark Zuckerberg. One more thing to worry about now.
Dreamcast was easy to pirate. But I think there were only a couple kids in my entire High School that even had one.

Later when they were cheap to buy used I think the piracy scene really picked up.
That’s a good story. In middle school I got similarly called to the principal’s office and threatened, but literally all I did was send messages (and nothing particularly menacing or inappropriate) to other computers using the Novell client software that was installed on every PC at school. You had a lot more fun!
A more important question is, how well were they compensated? Most of the value are not captured by the original inventors.

I wonder. Walter laundered his drug income through his car wash business. He could have rigged the business to be loss making, but then it wouldn’t work to explain the source of his wealth. So presumably it reported a profit and paid taxes on it.

There's no single goto place. I bought mine from comodo, which is now sectigo.com

Indeed, an OV is sufficient, Sectigo is pretty fast at this -- you will need proof of business (phone number + proof to see that the business is still running), and that's about it.

Another "fun" fact - when you start signing, every browser will flag your app as "this application is not commonly downloaded", and this will go on for a while (2-3 weeks, sometimes even more). This might also happen for Antiviruses -- yeah, it's really fucked, I could say.

A few years back Microsoft came up with another type of code signing certificate (don't remember the name), that doesn't have the problems I outlined above. However, it usually costs 4-5x as much, and personally I don't think it's worth it.
Oh, I remember when blue LEDs became readily available (late 90s for me) and I would mod all my stuff to blue.

Had this MS ergo keyboard, with the LEDs in the middle hump, came with green. So, I replaced with these 2.5 hi-blues and I was blinded by my own Numlock-Beam. Had to cross a resistor over there to take the edge off.

Anyway, I think HN should get a black-bar because the blue LED is so cool.
What would be the causal link between the printing press and slavery? If anything it seems like they're just concurrent happenings in history.

Maybe a slippery slope style of argument where printing press led to X which led to Y, which opened the new world, which led to plantations, which led to slavery.

The problem with that is you can start at anything and end up there. The wheel. The loom. I could probably spin a convincing yarn starting from beer.
Please don't do flamewars on HN. I've warned the other commenter above but you've broken the site guidelines as well. Not cool.

Not really suprising.

Almost every agent that is trained in Brussels has the option to get trained in horse riding. I think all trainees in Belgium start an internship in Brussels ( not sure)

Reason: 1 agent per horse = 8 agents on foot
NWSChat is apparently an XMPP-based solution and people were able to use off-the-shelf clients (did some digging out of curiosity). It was also started before things like chat-as-a-service offerings (like Slack) were widespread. It's also import to remember that they needed to coordinate with both government and non-government users, so a solution like MS's chat (what later became Skype for Business, not sure what it was in the 00s) would be challenging to integrate with non-government users even if it was trivially deployed and scaled across the government side. On top of that, using a commercial service isn't necessarily permissible as government agencies have to track their communications and record them with strict rules on how long recordings have to be maintained and how/when they can be destroyed. Commercial services can be used, but they have to have the right policies in place. WFH in 2020 revealed this issue to many as gov't employees were using non-standard tools without proper recording/tracing that technically violated federal laws and regulations but let them get their job done.

For better or worse, in the 00s self-hosting a chat service might have been the least bad option to achieve all the requirements they had. However, it also probably suffered (as I mentioned in another comment) from the fact that many gov't agencies don't really have proper IT staffing and don't treat it as something to continually invest in and maintain/sustain.

Even if you take this viewpoint, it still means you can't depreciate the item, because it wasn't part of your income producing activity until just that moment, which means the depreciation is zero, since depreciation can only be taken based on the time the item was used for your income producing activity.

First standards for 10GE appeared as early as 2002, NBASE-T was as late as 2015. It’s a rather new standard, unnecessarily so in hindsight... apparently there were discussions about potential 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps modes while original 10GE was being defined but were eventually not included

There's been a couple of studies on Tesla range over time and the numbers are pretty impressive. Leaf on the other hand has had famously poor Battery life. The warranty will replace batteries at 80% range, but they had some many warranty issues that they changed from a 5 bar battery display to a 4 bar battery display via a software update, so it's harder for people to notice. So now the display only makes it obvious if the battery/range is less than 75% of new.

For the tesla numbers check out:

A neighbor has his leaf battery replaced 3 times, once under warranty, and twice out of his own pocket... then he bought a tesla model 3.
One specific postage option I noticed Japan Post had cancelled was the "surface air lift" which is a kind of middle-option between airmail (fast, expensive) and seamail (very slow, cheap). My assumption is that this was partly because if there's less capacity on planes then you might as well use it all for expensive airmail rather than cheaper SAL. But I've not investigated whether this is really true.

I think more generally trying to jury-rig cargo on a passenger plane isn't economic -- IIRC early last year some companies did a bit of it when passenger air travel was essentially zero, but they've all stopped now because (a) the cost effective way to fly cargo is to use cargo planes and (b) air passenger travel picked up a little again.
Whatever you think about NFTs, there are plenty of earnest people in the space; they have been trading, building and podcasting for years without any mainstream attention, or in fact, without making money. And yes, people are still trading Cryptokitties.
Switching from using the mouse to using a laptop touchpad did wonders for my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Well, the touchpad plus use of various soft and hard wrist braces.
I now have something similar to De Quervain's Tenosynovitis, and I find the thumb braces help when the pain gets too bad. Again, soft braces when it’s just mildly annoying, and hard braces for when it really hurts.

EDIT: The thing I will add here is that my thirty-plus years with RSI have taught me, is that it seems to be a deeply personal issue, and what works for me may not work for you, and vice-versa.

You’ve got to do what works for you, and good medical assistance will involve going through the list of various different things that might help in the order of how likely they are to help and how much they are likely to help — and if one thing doesn’t work for you, then move on to the next. And if one person or school of treatment isn’t working for you, then you should seek out alternatives that will.

Good luck, and good health!
> 10G was too much of a leap, IMO, so the hardware remains expensive.

Switches are still quiet expensive, but 10G cards are quiet affordable nowadays. Notebooks can use a Thunderbolt 3 to 10G ethernet, but I think we will see 10G ports one consumer notebooks soon.

I wouldn't invest in a bridge technology like 2.5G since it introduces non-trivial costs an offers only 2.5x speed up instead of 10x.
I don't think I would have ever have predicted that having control over a line of data in a shared database running on just 8,000 computers would be so valuable.

Because nobody has demonstrated working LENR. You can't build that which has not been discovered. Oil wars are effectively fought over energy. LENR would be a significant strategic, political, and economical advantage, and intentionally suppressing it is equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot. America, as one example, could stop participating in an expensive war occurring thousands of kilometers away over an ocean, that is being fought for the sole purpose of stockpiling energy reserves.

We know how to make fission reactors, we have many of them operating right now. We could build more this very second.
Geostationary is super far out— you're effectively in constant sun:

Some of the things that cause concern are studies finding depression, fatigue, brain fog, etc.

But if you screened any population of lower health you'd find a fair number of instances of these... and historical baselines are probably not valid because we've had a weird year. So-- the exact incidence of some of the milder end of long COVID is hard to pin down.
Um,the most important rationale isn't mentioned, which is worrying.

Part of the original reasoning behind the "best practice" is that it creates bloated images.

Since the overlay filesystem captures the deltas from the base image, when you upgrade you create a bigger container than required since it contains both the original base image with un-upgraded files PLUS the deltas with the upgrade differences.

If the base isn't being reused with other images on a machine this is wasteful (even if only conceptually).

As always the decision to upgrade anyway is an engineering trade-off, but clearly - if possible - starting from an un-upgraded base image would be ideal.
That's neat, thanks. When you say it's an axiom that it's all preserved locally, does that mean that all the laws only state local properties (i.e. it's all just differential equations over spacetime)?

If so, is that why stuff like QM has trouble, where something like entangled things at a distance might be hard to express locally, or is it actually easy to transform spooky stuff into a local statement and QM issues are something else entirely?
You broke the HN guidelines badly in this thread. We ban accounts that do that. The rules apply regardless of whether other users are breaking them, how bad their comments are, or how bad you feel they are. We've also had to ask you not to break the site guidelines before.

> So for example, if Jack minted multiple NFTs for the same tweet it would be clear to everyone which one was first. Only the first one would presumably be considered valuable.

That's not how I see it at all. Once Jack has been shown to be willing to oversell himself just to make a quick buck, it will immediately devalue everything associated with him, including the original NFT. You're buying into the quality/credibility/longevity of the creator here, and once it's shown he's a shill there's not much reason to value any of his original "work" highly.

I am open to being wrong, but it still boggles my mind anybody could think NFTs are anything other than a scam. At least bitcoin had lots of legitimate theory to be used as an alternative to currency, even if it only ended up being an investment alternative for gold. An NFT is like trying to sell art without actually having to create art.
An actual use case would be If I am a drug dealer using XMR or BTC to buy and sell my stuff, even if the growth slows down, I can't switch to another coin unless the market does too.

Big amount of BTC trades happen in exchange for goods and services and often time switching coins isn't an option there.
I can see how you could read it that way, but I think they're just confirming the increased rates of covid with the three named pre-existing conditions. It never occured to me to understand it otherwise when I read it first.
Deliveroo April Fools' joke backfires in France
> If you want a fast language that is mature and has a big community with lots of documentation and resources, I'd go with Rust.

I'm sure that when Rust had their 1.0 release 6 years ago, there was little to no documentation and a small immature community at the time. We had the same people saying that it isn't mature and the same fans using it in production since pre-1.0. This is also the case with Crystal.

Fast forward today, Rust itself has matured, but unfortunately the crates ecosystem is still immature.

Each time I see a crate on crates.io, the version is below 1.0 and it is reflected on the "work in progress" disclaimer warning of unsafety guarantees in the mountains of other dependencies it uses, which makes me think twice about importing it; especially if it isn't pure Rust. I would expect better quality crates in the Rust ecosystem especially 6 years on from 1.0, but today, this is still not the case. I have the same expectation with Crystal's ecosystem, as it is now 1.0.

Suppose you are using Ruby in a system (Not using Rails) for dispatching events and then calculating how long these events take with tens of thousands of users and you then realise that the language itself was the bottleneck. Yes, I'm talking about Deliveroo: [0]. Yet for them maintaining two languages and using Ruby FFI and rewriting it in Rust somehow sounds much more better than adapting it to Crystal. (since there were those who also used Rust in production in pre-1.0)

If this was in C, C++ or Java then [0] would make sense. Ruby to Rust and still using both languages after the rewrite doesn't make sense when I can just 'adapt it' to Crystal in 5 mins and it just works. Even Elixir makes much more sense.

Naive question: How can we compare those brains beyond clues from cranial capacity and maybe supposed diet ?
I don't think these laws are meant for ordinary citizens. They are meant to aid policing orgs in catching and stopping criminals when police can't catch them. For example, the police can't come up with evidence that someone is selling drugs but they might be able to prove that someone is making money from drugs (which is not a crime) and not paying taxes on it (which is a crime.)

Simpler loophole: you gift it to them, then they gift it back at the end of the term. Or perhaps sue the IRS because Islam and Judaism prohibit lending money with interest, sounds like a case of discrimination (Christianity prohibits it as well, but basically no one follows nowadays).

USA is 330 million people. New Zealand is 1/2 the population of SF Bay Area.

Just because NZ can demonstrate good COVID control, it cannot just apply at a massive nation. China has done it with authoritarian enforcement. There is no solution to this for USA, EU or large countries. Asian nations such as Japan and Korea are culturally different than the west. It’s impossible to change the culture of 330 million overnight.
Ironically, I would argue that just about everything that happens is an objective event, but any and every interpretation/understanding of causality is itself, subjective.

In the hypothetical scenario the objective reality is: A pedestrian and a car collided.

Other factors come into play, which all have potential influence on the causality of this objective reality, and said factors are frequently subjectively asserted as more relevant to causality than others.

Strong assertions to causality may include: Driver was drunk, pedestrian was jaywalking, pedestrian was wearing dark clothing, driver was speeding, driver was texting, driver and pedestrian had a prior altercation, driver was tired, etc

Weaker assertions to causality may include: It was a Tuesday, someone sneezed 3 miles away, a butterfly flapped its wings, pedestrian knocked over salt during dinner earlier, etc

Causality is hard... We're getting better at it, but superstitions are a thing that exist, even if they are a bit odd.

> But if the rail is a shipping channel replacement, no need to limit to one track.

By this analogy, no need to limit to one port, either.

But even this analogy doesn't quite hold true, because tracks v. ports are apples v. oranges. The proper comparisons here would be tracks v. navigation routes and ports v. rail depots.

I simply don't understand those people who claim to want to fix the problem but balk at nuclear. It's like they'd prefer going back to rubbing two sticks together for heat and building lean-tos for shelter. Which is where we might end up going back to if we keep overpopulating and destroying the earth and climate.

I'm seeing a lot of complaints about Crystal's slow compile speed.

But isn't Rust's compile speed also slow too and it's still being used by many engineers?

Even then after 1.0 for Rust, I haven't seen any compile speed improvements in that space lately.
