Bitcoin mining is not programmed to end. It has two functions: issuing of new coins and safeguarding transactions. From these two only mining of new coins will eventually end but it still is likely to stay profitable for many decades. Safeguarding transactions, with reward from transaction fees, is programmed to go on indefinitely.
Very cool website! However, I am not sure if ad fontes media is a good source of media bias ratings. Their methodology doesn't even name all the dimensions used to rate sources and their "training manual" provides very little useful guidance (https://www.adfontesmedia.com/how-ad-fontes-ranks-news-sourc...). It doesn't seem like they are doing any inter-rater reliability testing.

I don't find any peer-reviewed journal articles using the rating either.

Maybe you could check out https://guides.lib.umich.edu/c.php?g=637508&p=4462444 instead.
oh shoot. Thanks for the input.
I trust the distribution, I have to because they are they ones delivering the kernel.

But I absolutely do not trust any of the software I install from the distribution's repositories. The packager doesn't analyse the code for all the software they add to the distribution, so it cannot be trusted.

Personally, I use Qubes OS, but people who's don't still deserve a secure operating system.
There is a surprising amount of open data. I think this would be a great hobby. Though maybe use a good VPN and fake creds. People have been murdered for this sort of thing.

I can't find a link now but some phd students in South America (I think?) fairly accurately found fraud based on the content in business and government contracts simply on certain clauses.

Would also be interesting to take stats of higher incidents of certain diseases and track them against factory production/creation in the area. Could also cross-examine against EPA fines.

You could then send the analysis to forbidden stories. Though remember they are journalists and not necessarily ML/GPT-3 experts.

In modern Java there are more terse APIs available. For example:

The most convincing description of utility is as a representation of ranked choices or preferences.

Perhaps it’ll be an interesting exercise to think about two experiments, one asking for valuations of things, and one asking whether one thing is preferred above the other.

Then, consider how these outcomes may be related!
There was another discussion in November about hrsACE2 which as well inhibits binding:

APN001 is a hrsACE2 designed by Apeiron Biologics to imitate the human enzyme ACE2.
hrsACE2 at tissue sites can effectively compete with the endogenous ACE2 and limits SARS-CoV-2 entrance into the host cells

I don't propose anything. Like I said, the preconditions aren't there.

If Mars were almost exactly like Earth before the Industrial Revolution, only a bit cooler, we could make it exactly like Earth in a few hundred years by mining/drilling for fossil fuels and burning them in big piles.

For background context around telecoms for anyone reading this, there is an underlying difference in how telecoms networks are designed and architected - in the Telco world, links between networks were predicated on trust. Originally, telecoms networks were run by national level quasi-government operators, one per country. You interconnected with other "known entities".

Even now, you likely have 3, 4 or 5 national mobile operators in any one country. They negotiate their own roaming agreements in order for you to get roaming access. It's all driven by these kinds of relationships predicated on trusting other networks.

In IT, we are rapidly moving towards zero trust (due to the internet), but circuit switched (legacy) voice is still all designed to be sent over private circuits between operators who trust each other.

The legacy protocols (see SS7), used to route calls between operators are functional, but also lack access control and authentication, as it's assumed only trusted parties are on the network and able to use them. Those assumptions are no longer valid, and there's a huge challenge in dealing with this - hence SMS and call interception and rerouting attacks to steal 2FA tokens etc.
Everyone that uses chats for serious business. I can't afford to loose conversations with my clients. For that I use only messaging systems that allow me to save chats: email, and then WhatsApp. Even Telegram has a problem, because even if messages are on the cloud, one could delete single messages or a whole conversation on your device as well.

Regarding screenshots and saving messages: not only it's a thing that you have to remember doing, but screenshots have (at least in my country) no legal value, since everyone can easily produce them with Photoshop. You can say the same thing for WhatsApp messages, but sure it's more difficult (or at least it appears more difficult to a judge that doesn't know anything about IT). Basically screenshots are never accepted as a proof for something, WhatsApp messages on your phone are.

Back in the days of X.25 and the UK "coloured book" protocols, grey book email went over blue book "network independent FTP" (in batch). I don't know how NIFTP compared with ARPANET FTP as a protocol, though.

What Is the Bitcoin Block Size Debate and Why Does It Matter? (2015)
Feels like the Huawei bashing is back. Justified or not. It always comes in burst as if one bad article is used as an opportunity to amplify negative press. If it is a state or competitors is hard to tell. Maybe just a result of all these ad algorithms that try to get as much engagement as possible resulting in one story that has a bit of traction getting amplified like crazy.

Just look at what happened to J&J last week. The damage is done, no one will want it if it turns out to be safe.

I do enjoy in python that it is quite easy to utilise multiple processes in a code-light fashion, but some things are more natural as threads.
Pretty good karma for a bot.

Yes, they pretty much are. Extremely complicated, organic, robots. But that is not the point. Your choices depend on your personality and abilities, which in turn depend on your upbringing and experiences.
"far from having shed the problems of government-issued currency,"

Government currency is backed by assets, or the governments ability to pay debt.

BTC is backed by nothing and they issue currency on the basis the ability to do fancy math problems.

So which currency has a 'problem' now?

In the past I worked at a mid level 4G provider in the US who had to deal with the larger providers on a regular basis. I was always astounded at how little they knew about their own networks.

Regarding the articles statement of providers wanting an "all-in-one" solution, I have seen that in person, where management forced it, found it was horrible and then gave in and let us build the mixed vendor solution that worked well. I've personally mixed enode-b's from 2 different vendors to 3 different vendors SGW's and a different vendors PGW with no issues.

The "One Throat To Choke" idea doesn't work if your business depends on that throat to operate so you end up with the vendor calling the shots instead of the business.
Agreed, as a random HN commenter it's way too easy to trivialize the complexity in audit logging such a complex system.

Such audit logs are very much dependent on the integrity of the system generating them, and the vendor themselves is certainly in the best possible position to compromise that integrity.

I suppose that switching from a vendor-operated system to an independently-operated system would simplify the implementation of trusted audit logs for mitigating the remaining insider threats, though.
> We recently asked a large European service provider why only part of their customers get IPv6 service, and how they pick which parts do or do not get such service. They could not tell us, and informed us they too would like to know

woah. as a EU citizen, i'm terrified. i wanted to say surprised, but after a moment's thought, turns out it's only a moderate misalignment of expectations.
Perhaps a controversial view, but why does this matter?

I was having this debate with a friend a few weeks back.

Tether was the first crypto coin pegged to a fiat currency, but now there are so many more: USDC, BUSD, TrueUSD, DAI, GUSD...and that's just a fraction of the ones pegged to $USD.

The entire market's _daily volume_ is 5+ times the entire Tether cap. Plus you have Automated Market Makers (Uniswap & co.) where you can trade directly between crypto pairs and even Binance/Crypto.com debit cards which ensure a closed circulation loop for stablecoins within the exchanges.

If it turns out that Tether is printing USDT without backing anymore how would this impact the crypto market?
I expect another USD stablecoin would just take its place and life would go on.

Crypto trading/hodling is just too irresistible at this point. The last _3 months_ saw $1Tn of new money poured into crypto from all sides.

I would be curious to know what does HN genuinely think about this USDT controversy, if possible without the shilling and emotion?
Reminds me of a Matt Levine quote:

"It is not original to me, but one thing that I think and write a lot is that cryptocurrency enthusiasts keep re-learning the lessons that regular finance learned decades ago, and that you can see a lot of financial history replaying itself, sped up, by observing cryptocurrency."

I see this play out a lot. While ironic, it is (to your point) instructive to see the cryptocurrency ecosystem learn the same lessons of traditional financial history all over again.

As mentioned in the epilogue regarding single monitors, I feel that Apple was a little too silent regarding that limitation.

It also caught me off guard especially as I purchased the LG 4K thunderbolt/usb-c monitors from the Apple website with the hope of connecting everything via daisy chain.

I haven’t yet definitively found a DisplayLink hub that can output its video via thunderbolt and/or USB-C so whenever I see articles about M1’s and developer setups I happily check in to see if anybody has found a setup.
Book review and policy discussion: diversity and complexity
I'm no crypto expert or remotely experienced with finance, but my understanding of USDT is that it's simply a bridge to simplify moving funds between fiat and crypto. It even simplifies converting one crypto to another where there is no direct route on exchanges.

It's much less volatile compared to other coins and if it fluctuates a bit that's not really an issue in the short timeframe I do my conversions.
Fast is not a KPI though. It can and is often labeled on anything, making the term useless even when fast is a criteria over ease of us.

Maybe something at the top along the lines of : what it does, how and then what are the implications.

Here's what I don't get.

You got coffee at a bistro.
"The coffee is hot" - nonsense
"The coffee was hot" - makes sense

You SAW a woman at the beach.
"That woman is beautiful" - sense?
"That woman was beautiful" - potential insult?
This is more common than many think.

Once a managed provider steps in, they want to "own" the configuration. You end up with the operator itself actually having to raise tickets with the MSP to change things on their own network.

All this becomes a huge issue if there's a major outage, as the MSP might not have enough access to actually get in and do anything.

Most telecoms networks are run (to some significant extent) by a managed service provider, in my experience. When O2 UK had a major core outage due to an Ericsson certificate expiry inside the core, it wasn't O2 engineers that found and fixed the issue; it was Ericsson engineers.

The margins as an operator don't make it easy to keep around the deep technical skills to be an expert in the network you own.

Also commenting on single monitor support - a key note I missed from original reviews and maybe a reason to wait till more pro models come out?
Hey!

This is what I would do:

I'd pick out some companies where I'd love to work at. I'd then spend time understanding their product and business. And then I'd write them to say that I'm very much interested in joining their team. I would also say how I could be helpful in their team. Maybe even some specific ideas. That's it!

Here's my list of remote companies, hope it helps you!

74% backing sounds pretty good for a cryptocurrency. I wouldn't touch tether myself as USDC is better in every way, but I don't think there's going to be the fireworks that people predict if the peg falls only to 74 cents.
Code for asynchronous work, but it's isomorphic whatever that means.
Maybe I’m overthinking / overrationalizing, but to me a screenplay is a set of instructions for what happens at a given time step.

“After A be will happen”

A novel is typically seen as a recollection of events that has been gathered after the fact, typically by an all knowing narrator or the main character.

“After A happened, B happened”.

Like most Huawei/Chinese tech fud stories we have seen the last 3~4 years. A lot of posturing but no evidence or proofs strong enough to force a lawsuit.

Reality is the anglo-europeans(atlantic coastal folks) wants to split the world in half at least in cyber space. Pompeo talked about it openly with the Clean network initiative. That means no Chinese tech or hardware in the west.
They will pull the whole of the EU with them either peaceful and if that doesn't work forcefully.
I'm not the person you responded to, but I think their peeve stands correct for technical README's as well. I've decided more than once to not continue reading those when is is not clear to me to move on to what might be a similar implementation just because the README never really explained if it was what I was looking for.

The times when I need to read the repo README is when I am not familiar with what I am looking for. I say err on the side on more documentation, err on the side of a better explanation.
> BTC has nothing backing it whatsoever....

Bitcoin can be verified and cannot be forged or arbitrarily created. That is its backing.

What is the backing of the US dollar at this point asides from threat of violence against challengers ?
Building APIs: A Comparison Between Cursor and Offset Pagination?
I have been mostly relying on offsets for implementing paging. It is more straightforward in implementation but I find cursor based pagination more intuitive in usage; plus it has better support for real-time data but on the negative side you are forced to use infinite scroll which is not always the best solution.

I was curious if anybody has any experience with these two approaches in their projects? And what are some other advantages and disadvantages on this? [1]

[1] I wrote this piece a while back but was thinking of updating it further: https://betterprogramming.pub/building-apis-a-comparison-between-cursor-and-offset-pagination-88261e3885f8

It's a GUI application.
Isn't minimising the "I lost them/forgot where I put them" scenario the point of checking you still have them (not just asking - checking eg by saying "enter one of the codes")? That way, if you don't have them, you can print a new set of backup codes while you still have your "normal" second factor to hand.
Because this is going to come up, what's the advantage of using this over, say, weworkremotely?
This is a very good point! The first thing that crypto will succeed with is thus probably a store of value (Bitcoin seems to be going there) and the second is as a currency (we will see which one/ones will take this role). For contracts connected to things off the blockchain...that probably has no real solution yet.
Thanks for the ‘friendly’ tip!
But the aim of Signal is default secure comms. It's supposed to easily wrap everything, from the absolutely banal to the fairly sensitive, in strong encryption in order to cut into the returns on performing mass surveillance.

The question just comes down to who generally wants their communication contents persistent until actively destroyed, as opposed to quasi-randomly wiped out by technical snafus.

If you want transient there are the time-limited messages, for instance...
Agreed, as an M1 user and usual multi monitor user this is a big limitation!

Realistically I’ll look at investing in an ultra wide soon to offer similar screen real estate.

We also have a Lenovo laptop that we bought two of for our admin staff in our office to only find out afterwards multi monitor support was missing (despite having enough ports for it)... it’s a shame that this isn’t considered standard.
The population size of HN seems much smaller than I originally had imagined.
> And then they have the gall to sell the power adapter separately from the laptop, for an extra $59? What brand new laptop on earth doesn't come with an AC wall adapter/charger in the box?

One that's $59 cheaper than if it included a charger?
Le Corbusier had one of the most impactful influence on the so-called modern architecture of the post-war period.

He initiated a school of borderline religious and dogmatic followers who are still active this day.

The existence of Le Corbusier and his school is, in my opinion, the worst thing that happened to architecture, ever.

We're still paying his mistakes.

> Nobody has to use anything to value a stock - including current profits. Therefore even current profits would not be 'a fundamental property'

Correct, so:

> A stock is valued based on the performance of it's actual profit generation.

Is incorrect. The correct sentence should be "Some times stock is valued based on the performance of it's actual profit generation."

> BTC is just a fantasy speculation.

Absolutely, jut like the stock of some companies.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.1 says:

> A payload within a GET request message has no defined semantics; sending a payload body on a GET request might cause some existing implementations to reject the request.

So it's non-non-standard but not standard either. If I understand correctly a GET with body is about as defined as a POST with body, but since it is not often used the real world support is worse. What is a lot better specified about POST is response codes, like 201 Created and (I'm guessing) content negotiation.

Browsers seem pretty strict about it though, `fetch('/', {body: ''})` gives a TypeError for me but `fetch('/', {body: '', method: 'POST'})` does not.
