Crypto: Hardware Wallet Research -$100 gift card
Hey y'all! I'm researching the crypto hardware wallet space and would really appreciate it if any of you could fill out the form below. Trying to get a better sense of what users like or dislike about the current offerings. Plus, there's been a pretty large influx of retail investors into the space and I'm trying to discern their level of comfort with various wallets.

Norwegian PM fined after breaking Covid rules with birthday party
I mean, no, it's not the fault of Weston developers that other implementors decided do their own thing. I asked this before but what could they have done? Putting tons and tons of things in the spec wouldn't really have fixed the real problem, which is that the way they wanted things didn't exist at that time, and the only way forward for them was to write their own implementation. The spec is only meaningful if you can get other people to promise to implement it in the way it's supposed to be implemented. It's true that Wayland is just a protocol but that protocol is also defined significantly by its implementations.

>I can't think of anything that more succinctly illustrates what's wrong with how Wayland has been developed over the last 13 years.

I don't understand why and I wish you wouldn't do this, this is leaning into flame war territory. If you can explain your point to me in a way I understand, then I'm ready to listen.
My point was, why not declare the pointer as int * directly since that the only type it's used as?
I have to smile at this comment. The monarchy "owns billions in assets - graciously it donated the proceeds of these assets..." Where exactly do you think these assets came from? The monarchy's wealth came from the people and resources of the Commonwealth. The individuals who constitute the monarchy did nothing more than get born to the right people to inherit and control this wealth.

> They are literally net contributors on the basis of this alone.

How can you know this? Without a comprehensive and independent accounting of their donations and expenses, it's literally impossible to say whether they are "net contributors" or not.

It's nice to think that the monarchy is looking out for the people of the Commonwealth. But if that were the case, why would the Queen be lobbying--in secret!--to keep her vast wealth obscured from the public?
IMO any chance of there being a constrained and clearcut definition of ADHD went out the window in affluent communities as soon as they started giving people test extensions if they were diagnosed with it.

I say that as someone who definitely has something neurodivergent going on, as I do not know other people who get excited and have to pace around the house flapping their hands.
So, I agree, but I find myself thinking it doesn't matter now. What matters is:

1) could an accident at a lab lead to another pandemic in the future? yes, certainly

2) ok then, how are we going to prevent that?

This seems much like what the world had to figure out after nuclear power became widespread; how do we keep this new technology from leading to catastrophic problems? It required international inspection, sanctions for nations who don't comply, and even big powers had to play along.

Whether this pandemic started in a lab or not, we need a system to prevent the rapid proliferation of biologically advanced research, in more and more countries, from resulting in pandemics. So, the question of whether China had a lab leak that caused this one seems irrelevant at this point; what we need to do going forwards is the same regardless.
Many top universities here are not like self-contained research universities of the West — they mostly deal with education, and research is conducted at non-educational academic institutions. So, for their Masters work, and maybe earlier, students do research in various organizations that have contracts with university. These are either academic institutions or commercial research departments or tech companies like Yandex.

As for SV, it’s not that simple, it seems — most emigrants that I know either got job at something like Swiss Google after building a solid resume here or got into some academic program (PhD or postdoc) abroad.
Yes, a lab leak of a virus collected from nature is the most plausible of these lab theories.

But the epidemiological evidence points to covid-19 originating outside wuhan entirely, that's why I find that theory less likely, among other reasons. See here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/gk6y95/-/fqpcfs2

Also if they had collected it in nature, it would have been in their freezers, or likely that people involved in that research would have been patient zero etc. See here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/gk6y95/-/fqpcf33

https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/gk6y95/-/fqpce2z

Wuhan institute of virology also aren't the labs I'm worried about. They were built and designed by very reputable people in the virology community. Not saying you should trust them, but at least recognize that the people who are most qualified to distrust them think it's unlikely.

>Does this imply covid-19 has been circulating in humans a long time?

No, it implies it was relatively stable passing amongst several species of bats (and other related mammals) before a single or a few crossover events into humans recently.

It's behaving exactly like we would expect a zoonotic transmission to behave. It's not very well adapted to bats, it's not very well adapted to humans. It's sort of "promiscuous" likely because it has infected several different species over several decades before arriving in humans.
It works with some cards, not with others. Eg. for Radeon Pro W5500 there's no known card reset method that works (no method from https://github.com/gnif/vendor-reset works) so I had to do S3 suspend before running a VM with systemctl suspend or with rtcwake -m mem -s 2

Now I have additional RTX 2070 and it works ok.
It should be named what it is, and has always been: anti-free speech.

The line is when you take actions designed to prevent someone else from ever speaking, or people hearing their speech, instead of (as is your right) loudly calling them a *ist.
It does also protect you from others. The "it protects others from you" was propaganda to get around public health officials lying that masks didn't protect you unless you were a doctor in which case it worked for some reason.

It doesn't perfectly protect you, but anything helps. A KN95/N95 is more effective and covering the eyes is better yet.
Interview with some real users. Ask them to open the product and tell you everything about how they feel and what they miss and what they think and what they want. You mentioned that you already knew HN users aren't the audience. But, do you know where you can find at least 5 of them to do usability testing?
If you pay for phone and you smash it against a wall, it is well within your rights even if it belongs to your kid. Extremely shallow argument on my side, but still stands true within the confines of this censorship argument.
It would make more sense to target internet "backbone" routers, no?
On my own videogame Neptune's Pride, I have noticed that the performance of canvas rendering on Firefox noticeably worse on OSX and Plasma. I still use Firefox for everything though.
Back in the 1990s, I was a FreeBSD guy, and at some point I looked over the code for a few of the popular Linux ISA networking drivers for some reason and was shocked at the low quality. The code quality of the core Linux kernel is generally excellent - the code quality of these drivers was at the level of "lowest passing undergraduate's second C program". I'd not be at all surprised if this turned out bugs giving bad performance; drivers are often considered finished when they produce the expected result, and network protocols have enough recovery mechanisms that you can get the expected result with a fair number of bugs.

The NE2000 clones worked fairly well in FreeBSD at the same time all the complaints were coming over in Linux-land. To be fair: You'd usually have less support for hardware in FreeBSD than Linux at the time (and almost certainly still.)
Spotify has basically invented this new thing called "radio".
A country can have more than one problem. It is deeply foolish to suggest that only one of them can be the "real problem".

I used to listen alot more before the Spotify deal. The podcast listening experience in the app is hot garbage.

I am a paying premium paying customer. Why do I get ads in the beginning and middle of the podcast? And there was a bug where to if you skip too fast, it jumps back to replaying the ads again. Super frustrating.

I don't ever watch the podcast video stream but the few times I did, it was super buggy, sometimes jumping forward/backward in time or simply not responding to input.

Luckily a random redditor posted a URL where you can listen to podcast using traditional RSS [1][2].

This is advice for a solo developer struggling with emotion management, not a meme.
> I think being really broke greatly hinders your ability to think rationally.

No: being really broke can cause a lot of anxiety that can lead to irrational behavior.

But often a person has to choose between homelessness and crime and picks the latter as a rational choice, given the alternative.

So please don't assume poor = "crazy" = criminal, it's a bit unkind.
> It's why you wouldn't want your surgeon to walk in to your operation with the mask he just used from the previous operation.

There is actually no evidence that surgical masks are protective during surgery. Mainly because nobody wants to do the experiment, but still.
The University of Alabama also has surprisingly good merit scholarships for students who are from out of state. I was considering going there and they offered me full tuition + 2 years of housing covered + some other grants (and I wasn't even that good of a student, definitely not Ivy caliber).
Could you provide some examples of C++ features that the Rust team has consciously chosen to not support, to try to keep the language more approachable?

Could you show some examples of how you need to work around these deliberate limitations?
I agree with another poster that Spotify employees should stand up on principle in opposition to the internal employees that are now running the asylum.

I listen to JRE on Spotify and am not happy about the decision. Actually the first episode I listened to was an Alex Jones + Tim Dillon episode (Tim being a comic I like) that is now gone. And while I don't agree with Alex Jones, I listened to it because I expected it to be controversial or nutty.

There are people who say once you give in to the woke mob they won't stop there, I wouldn't be surprised if now they know they can get other targets canceled if those targets don't consume their orthodoxy.
>Please. Try to make the public transport comfortable. That means a seat (I get that in a car), not having to crawl over somebody else next to me or have them sit too close.

I agree that investments should be made to keep the capacity of public transportation at not too crowded levels at all times. However, have your legs been weakened enough by spending time in a car that you're unable to stand occasionally?

>It means not having to worry is a fight is about to break out,

This is probably a socio-economic issue if anything

>having some punk shine a laser in your eyes (happened to me),

Sad to hear that has happened to you.

>having space to put down my bag and some place to put my feet (I am short, I don't reach the floor in most busses).

I agree that the design of certain means of public transportation suffers from poor design.

>It means no crying children (meaning no small children on the buss at all). It means that and a million other things.

Might I suggest moving to the remote wilderness, instead? There you will be fully insulated from the rest of mankind.

>It also means I don't have to stand in the rain to wait for a bus, ever.

This problem is mostly solved by covered bus stops (roof + a few walls), that protects against the elements.

>Oh, and it means no pandemic. I am not going to sit in an enclosed space with strangers at this time.

The pandemic is the exception. Just because traveling by car (second to not traveling at all, by the way) is better than public transportation during the pandemic does not mean that we should ignore the incredible harm that car-centric design is inflicting continuously on the world.
That's nuts, thanks for sharing.

Would you happen to know why gangs would bother doing random acts of violence against teenagers standing on the sidewalk? I'd heard that the Italian mafia at least likes to keep themselves out of the public eye, interesting that other gangs don't.
There's a lot of customer loyalty on the table waiting for the first GPU manufacturer to unlock this feature on consumer grade cards without forcing us to resort to hacks.
You can earn 15 €/h (18 $) on average for cleaning in Munich. Minimum wage is at 9.50 €/h (11.30 $) though in Germany.
ELI5:

Your body uses vitamin D to tell different parts of your body what to do. Some people have a problem. The body stops listening to vitamin D. So those parts of the body don't work properly and the people get sick. They get "auto-immune" sickness, like psoriasis or MS.

A doctor can test your blood and look for this problem. The article shows how to do that test. It teaches doctors a lot about the problem.

If a person takes a lot of vitamin D, they will get very sick. But if their body isn't listening to vitamin D, then they won't. So a doctor gives you vitamin D. And she checks your blood every week to see if it's enough or too much. This is called the "Coimbra Protocol". Some people get healed with it.
"your 1,000 closest friends?"
Okay they at least need to stay quiet, sit in their warehouse of cages, and no journalists need to find out about it. And there can't be any leaks from anyone involved suddenly gaining a deathbed conscience.

The conspiracy becomes so immense it's absurd the many thousands of people who would have to keep quiet.
Keeping a specific distance to people doesn't really matter though. That rule just satisfies a demand for a rule that can be easily implemented at scale, like moving school desks so they're farther apart.

An actual better rule is "don't be inside with other people without masks".
This. This is the answer. Political whining is mainly due to the disempowerment of users in favor of these centralized gatekeepers. Being able to just act is the antidote.
> If you look at Germany, you'll see high unemployment rates (and less education) among immigrants from Turkey and Arabian countries, while you'll see significantly more success on all fronts for immigrants from e.g. Vietnam.

Are refugees counted as immigrants? A lot of the refugees from Syria come through Turkey, so I'm curious if that's throwing off the numbers.

Refugees and immigrants aren't really comparable. The most stark difference is that refugees can (and likely will) be sent back when their country stabilizes enough. If you're a refugee, there's little point in building up a new life when you know it will all come to an end.
Non heritage meat breeds are much more efficient at producing meat for a given amount of input. Supplemental feed is mostly used to bring chickens to weight more quickly. Assuming you work, I'm sure you understand doing things you would prefer not to for economic reasons.

Talking about our abundance based on how much food we produce today in this context is like talking about how rich you are when you're spending above your means with a credit card. We're depleting topsoil, depleting aquifers, polluting our water, and breeding blights with our lack of diversity.

You keep talking like it's somehow desirable to remove animals from these food producing systems, but it's not. They work better with animals, and those animals need to be herded and culled to maintain the health of the ecosystem. Everything needs to be in balance.

Why do you think it would be better for the environment to take a bunch of trucks into a forest so you can haul stuff from it to a hundred miles away or more to feed conventional agriculture with all its problems than just have a balanced system initially?
Brave is Chromium-based and suffers from all of the limitations stated in the parent article.

(Except for CNAME cloaking. However, their CNAME uncloaking only applies to their built-in tracking protection. AFAIK, if you use uBo on Brave it will be still unable to uncloak CNAMES.)
The royal family doesn't need to spend money to have political power--the queen and other members of the royal family already lobby in secret to pass or scuttle laws to their benefit.[0]

Perhaps they can't singlehandedly fund moonshot projects. But if that's the extent to which royals are hampered, then perhaps they have an alright deal after all, what with being born into a system where enjoy a lifestyle that would cost tens of millions to sustain for anyone else.

Honest Q, but do any mass market brands like that advertise on podcasts?

It seems like all I hear are the usual suspects: Me Undies, Blue Apron, etc.
A good contrast is China. China is very careful not to have another cultural Revolution. The solutions they use may be unpalatable to many westerners.
> What's wrong with Qt (and such) ??

Compared with simple html+javascript running on a webview, Qt is relatively hard to maintain and develop, relies on source code generations and processors to work, prototyping tools are subpar and undermaintained, has no support for centralized theming, it's basic support for component-specific theming is already CSS shoved in a convoluted way, its model/view take is absurd and very poorly engineered, and yeah there's the fact that it forces you to write frontend code in C++. But wait, it's not even C++ because it requires code to be preprocessed to generate boilerplate code.

And let's not pretend that Qt's widgets successor is already a markup+javascript combo that takes the bad parts of javascript and bundles it with the bad parts of a custom markup language.
>> Also it is not legal in some country to grant a credit if the lender cant't pay it back (e.g. in the european union

European Union is not a country and every member state has their own rules regulating this, there isn't one payday lenders rulebook across the entire EU.

As for what you said - it's true, except that it boils down to a checkbox on the form "are you able to make repayments on this loan?" and that's about it, that takes care of the legal side of things.
That's just trading one word for another! OK, how do you force the audience member to pick a specific card from a deck?
EXWM does some special stuff though. It maps X11 windows in a way that they appear to be Emacs buffers and are managed as such. It also optionally captures certain input from them so that Emacs sequences (for example stuff prefixed by C-x) still work as usual. All this is done in a very granular way to maintain the illusion. So for example if I hit "b" after "C-x" or while the Emacs minibuffer is active then it goes to Emacs but otherwise it goes to the application. And generally it works very well, I've been using it for many years.

To do this in Wayland I imagine we'd need to have Emacs act as the compositor and that sounds a bit too crazy... Or perhaps some kind of a proxy-compositor could be used that could be fully driven by Emacs using an rpc protocol. Is there such a thing out there?
True. Was just my reaction to the last line of the article. I would have chosen "fragile" over "versatile".
Browsers don't block any homecalling either.

It's only going to be IO-bound because the GPU speeds up the computation so much.
In addition to the other response, I suggest you check out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_calming - these are all measures that make it slightly less comfortable to drive in order to create safer environments for non-protected trafficants.
Hey, neat idea. Whats the best way to contact you? I have a couple of complementary ideas that I think can be good additions to this
The author's tactic gives them a good sense of the project, common requests, and bugs over a long time period.

This context is really valuable when reasoning about the product or determining what's important to prioritize.

The issue with the "declare bankruptcy and important stuff will come back" is that you don't actually solve the underlying ruthless prioritization issue and very quickly end up in the exact same position.

You also irritate people that spent time writing up product issues for potentially important bugs by auto closing them (so many important things may not come back), but the bigger loss is that going through all of them gives you solid product historical context.

For what it's worth, the best PMs I know go through the backlog and understand what they're killing when they approach a project that's currently fucked. I think it has a positive side effect of giving them a lot of credibility too (as well as helping them ramp up).
>My strengths are zero to one product strategy and deeply understanding people. I wield these to build great early stage products and coach PM’s to help reach the next level in their careers

I'm trying to understand what does the first sentence mean here. Is the author saying he is not good at product strategy and understanding people?

On related note, why does anyone use the style of writing where presence or absence of one word completely changes the meaning of the sentence when there are equally good alternatives to write.
He was interrupted printing the Bible, the Pope asked him to print indulgences. Indulgences were sold, to raise money for the Papacy. Enter Martin Luther and the Protestants Reformation.
> ok then, how are we going to prevent that?

By not doing bioweapons or gain-of-function research? Wasn't the whole point of that research to prevent these sorts of pandemics? Even if COVID-19 wasn't from a lab leak...were those experiments actually helpful in being able to combat the pandemic? The answer seems to be no.
I also think it's a myth and more popular because of its name than because of actual consumption. There's just such a wide range of whole-grain, Mehrkorn (sorry, no idea how to translate that) and white bread that's different across all bakeries that it's hard to find a single best-selling type of bread.
True, it's pretty hidden and frustrating

But even then, being able to do it at all exactly when you're ready, is just night and day better compared to having to ask the designer for the file they forgot for the nth time
