>That said, gold technically exists already to meet this in my humble opinion as a proper hedge.

Moving gold from one country to another country on your is difficult.

Storing gold properly without getting robbed is difficult.

Try moving $5million dollar worth gold and you'll realize the advantage which bitcoin brings.
Basically one of the exact reasons why Crypto should exist.

If the electrical utility company said that they'd supply more (or better/stable) power to your premise because you were willing to buy a certain brand of electrical appliance, then it'd be grounds for anti-consumer action from the DoJ.
Show HN: You can now make a donation on my website by using Metamask (desktop)
Conceptually, they are similar, but based on what I understand the implications are very different based on how data is collected and who it is available to.

Apple ad targeting:

- collected from device info, purchases made from Apple (apps, shows, movies, books, etc.), and app store searches

- used to serve ads in Apple apps (App Store, Stocks, News), so while Apple knows what segment you're in, it's hard to see how that's any worse than what they already know about you (assuming you trust Apple with your info, which I assume you mostly do if you use Apple devices)

Google Floc:

- collected from all of your browsing history in Chrome, not just on Google properties

- your Floc ID is available not just to Google, but to every site you visit because Chrome serves it up. This means any site would have immediate access to your interests and demographics. Say you sign up for a site with your name or other identifying information, now they can link your personal information with your interests and browsing habits. So now you don't only have to trust Google, but you have to trust every entity you interact with on Chrome.
They can move, but that undermines confidence of the blockchain because then it's under the influence of fewer governments. Which makes me think that quite a few wont.

Ah yes, China banning Bitcoin. This rumor has been circulating since 2013.
Ask HN: Is your company staying remote after Covid?
A lot of companies will definitely stay remote after COVID is under control (vaccines etc). But not all!

I'm curious: if your company wasn't remote (or was partly remote) how did COVID change things in the long term?

Are you expected to go back to office? Will you change your job if you're forced to office?
Tcl. As with other shells, the scripting model is based on commands and substitutions, but in Tcl substitution is more sane because a substitution is never reparsed and reinterpreted. Tcl was designed to provide a uniform scripting environment that could be extended into any problem domain. In this sense, is specifically intended as a generalization of the concept of a shell beyond interactive use by a logged-in user and into programmatic control of any set of subsystems. Tcl's syntax is more simple and more regular than other shells, and its semantics are designed to make it easy to create a DSL to manage the task at hand. Values are immutable in Tcl so it has the mathematical purity that is attractive in a functional language, but is much easier to get started with. Because every value is a string, there is a fexibility in Tcl that can not be found in other languages. Stringiness is interesting, fun, and productive.
Some of us in Texas have already been cooking up some really fantastical energy market schemes involving crypto mining...

I've been thinking about putting together trailers that contain a 2MWe gas turbine genset, switch gear, ups and crypto mining system. These could be towed out to arbitrary locations and used to burn surplus gas supply. Remember, CO2 is much better than CH4 when dealing with greenhouse gasses. Might as well make some extra $$$ while we are converting it...
I agree, but those users are not willing to setup a proxy just to disable FLoC headers either.
> Who would opt in if it was?

I imagine google analytics scripts would find a way to opt people in.
Divio is a cloud management/application hosting platform. We use Docker for containerisation, and provide a unified integration layer to multiple different underlying vendors (AWS, Azure, etc).

It means you can use the same tools (Control Panel, CLI, API) to create and manage cloud applications and their infrastructures on all those different vendors.

The idea is that Divio takes care of infrastructure/DevOps concerns so that customers can concentrate on developing applications and products. https://www.divio.com

Feel free to ask me more.
Dropbox, instagram, google and youtube all were written in Python at some point. Languages don't scale, architectures do.

But even when the language became the bottleneck, they went the road of rust and go, not the road of java.

Again, not to say Java is not used by those companies with great success.
One thing that managers generally does not like is staff that does not “fall in line” and create issues for them that they have to deal with. I would therefor not mention for example having emailed VP:s about issues or highlighting bypass functionality in systems (if your previous job description did not include to highlight this).

From a managers perspective in the example, they are trying to run an operation of good support. They have to comply with different laws and have a solution “that works”. They may not appreciate that someone in the staff highlights “flaws”. If someone highlight flaws of this type anyways:

1) if highlighted by a staff member may have to be addressed. In particular from a staff member that emails VPs. Some point in time, possibly after a difficult process, legal may have ticked this off. The manager may not be happy to have to revisit this question again.

2) It may be difficult to address for the manager (request new support services software? Get an opinion from legal? - may be a large project)

3) disrupts the main goal of the manager of providing good support services.

You could cut out a chunk of configuration by using Caddy web server (https://caddyserver.com/) instead of Nginx.

Configuration is very simple (for example, reverse proxying is just three lines - for the entire config!), and SSL works out of the box!

> These guys should have talked sometime I hoped.

Hah.

DevDiv never talks to the Office org. For one thing, they’re on opposite sides of the campus; secondarily (and most disappointingly) the golden-age of Office/VS integration ended by Office 2007 when it was clear the VB6-derived VBA editor in VS was frozen on ice (and remember the InterDev-derived Script Debugger in Office 2003?).

For the past 14+ years, the Office org built up their own UI/UX framework completely separate from both OSG/Windows and DevDiv/VS/etc: that “DirectUI” stuff. It has a lot of potential (and room for improvement...) but instead we get exports like WinUI 3.0, aka “We won’t let XAML die, but we won’t invest in tooling or making it not horribly verbose despite the fact it’s now 15 years old”.

I don’t understand why Microsoft seemingly wilfully abandoned any semblance of a roadmap or reasonable guidance for the Windows desktop dev story. It’s insane because Office+VBA+VB6 is the reason people still buy Windows licenses even though 75% of people have no other reason to be bound to Windows.
If you're broke and don't have kids to feed, hit the road and go backpacking or something. No one cares how much money you have. What people care about is that you have an interesting story and are resourceful enough to make the best of any situation. Because one day you're going to get paged at 3am where all the technology is crumbling around you and you're the only one who can save it, and what's going to make you succeed at that moment is your lived experiences until that point saving yourself.
> Also, FWIW, Mozilla isn't innocent either. Despite being very much _less scummy_ they have still upped their scum factor a bit over the years. Let's not forget they are quite happy to trade millions of dollars to make Google the homepage for their users.

"Innocent Mozilla" wouldn't exist today, first because apparently there's always something to complain about, and second because those people also feed families and pay bills.

First thing every web user does, pro or amateur, is configure their browser to access Google easily. One way or another, Firefox will serve Google first, except for a loud minority of people who would use Duck Duck Go or something like that.

So why would Mozilla walk away from millions of dollars? Only to see itself bankrupt and Chrome take its already dwindling marketshare?
You just asked "Why would any reasonable person care what they spent half of their waking hours of their life doing?"

The fact that you don't care does not make everyone other than you not a reasonable person.

Frankly I don't see how any reasonable person could fail to develop some preferences, but I bet you would not like it if I called you unreasonable, or perhaps just unsophisticated.
You're right, but:

* performance is not really an issue for most software ("97% of the time, premature optimization is evil"). A well designed software doesn't suffer from performance issues with current computer performance, unless you do AI or bleeding edge graphics or science simulation.

* there are ways to speed up performance sensitive parts with something else than java, for example by using C/C++, would it be with a python module or cython. Not ideal, but generally you gain performance by adapting your design, not by changing languages. A garbage collector is rarely predictable, hence java is not a good fit for performance.

* I remember playing minecraft with friends, and the server was regularly crashing because it was out of memory, or something like that.
That's fine. Or a single "Explanation" or "About all this" page. Or just a paragraph on the main page.

The scheme is not a plan that must be fulfilled, it's a guide or map to help you see where you are and where you need to go.

However, don't be ashamed of barren-looking things. They are OK. The reader won't mind.
The USA doesn't differ in material ways in how it produces meat. They raise lots of animals and then kill them in various nasty yet efficient ways, which is no different to how European farms raise meat, not much different to how farms have ever raised meat. There has never been a time when animal farming was ethical and clean. The small differences that do exist in this area are hyped hugely (e.g. chlorine-washed chicken), but when you go looking for concrete harm to people from those practices you can't find them.

The biggest way Americans are harmed by their meat is the fact that it's so cheap that they eat a lot of it, but "we need meat to be expensive so you don't pig out" is not a justification the EU is willing to deploy. At any rate, it's a messy unpleasant business no matter how they're sliced up, and I'll feel a lot better when I'm reading hand-wringing articles about how plant-based meats are destroying the traditional landscape by getting rid of all the cows. It feels like we're on the verge of a breakthrough there: Impossible Burgers and Beyond Meat are both very, very convincing. And both firms are American, of course.

BTW recycling rates are a bit of a sham. Most of the material marked as 'recycled' ends up in China and whether it really gets recycled in the way people mean then is very questionable. A lot of it doesn't.

"we should be modelling ourselves on northern Europe rather than Singapore"

I disagree. The UK absolutely should look to America and Singapore. Europe looks increasingly like a reactionary backwater. Look at the mess over vaccines. That dysfunction is everywhere but was hard to spot before because there wasn't a good counter-example to compare to, except very small places like Switzerland which at any rate are forced to be half-in even when they vote against it.

Where's the exciting stuff happening? Where's the progress coming from? I've spent virtually all of my career working for and with Americans, even though I'm a Brit living in central Europe, because that's where the action is. It wasn't even a conscious choice: they came to me, they found me and where were the European companies doing that kind of search? Nowhere. And it showed: the times when my colleagues were mostly European were times when we all reported to bosses in the USA. The EU makes a huge deal all the time about how only it can push back against global forces and defend European "ways of life", which is a purely reactionary take on things and anyway, there is no such "European way of life". The reason they are terrified of being fragmented is because they know they don't have it in them to define the future, only club together to try and stare it down and hope the people who actually are making the future roll over in exasperation. It's a dead end strategy and no path for the next generation.

The Mathematics of Ted Kaczynski (The Unabomber)
you can build all the expertise you want, it will not achieve much control or influence over what gets put into Chrome and therefore what power Google has to influence or just ignore web standards. The real power comes from voting with your feet and using a different browser altogether.
I guess you mean The Great Oxygen Extinction Event (2.4-2.0 Ga).

In that case, it's presumed it was indeed a massive extinction (but no data to quantify any % over, due to no microbial fossils preserved).

... But for a different reason. It wasn't due to decrease in oxygen levels; contrary to that. At that time, oxygen was being first ever introduced into the atmosphere. This has left a unique geological trace we observe everywhere across the planet: the white sedimentary + red rust striped 2 Ga rocks.

The "microbes" were the first photosynthesisers. The oxygen was a toxic byproduct. Resistance to it had to be learned by evolution, and that learning took ~1e8 years. Many of life didn't manage to and went extinct.
Mac mini might be $700/€800, but 1) for an inadequate configuration, you need €1260 for something usable and 2) the cost of integrating the first Mac into Windows-optimized infrastructure is way above that. If you want things like Kerberos SSO (i.e. Active Directory), you need Apple-blessed MDM system to provision it. That one isn't coming in the price of the Mac mini.

So most companies, if they have a mac, it is one on the side, so they can avoid 2).

(How do I know? I'm the only guy using mac in our org).
A potentially interesting segue into modern music is the 2006 Ring inspired nerdcore 'remix' of the Ring-cycle: Rhyme of the Nibelung by Baddd Spellah featuring MC Frontalot:

A tongue-in-cheek adaptation of course, but I can't read about Leitmotifs in Wagner's Ring cycle without thinking of this song.
> With your webhost, you have to setup and maintain the server

You're confusing a root server or a VPS with a webhost aka "shared hosting", where the hosting service takes care of Let's Encrypt certificates, and scheduled downtime for patching.
Apparently Vivaldi (based on Chromium) made it's decision (for the time being) https://vivaldi.com/blog/no-google-vivaldi-users-will-not-ge...
If you don't need the any of the physical IO, then yeah I guess a cheap Android tablet would probably do for most projects.

This has a few physical buttons, Raspberry Pi GPIOs, PCIe, GbE etc so a lot more options for expansion.
> Reducing the amount of third-party tracking cookies on the web

Why would anyone care about that, as opposed to, you know, reducing the amount of tracking?
The first thing would be to ban free exchange of foreign currencies. But that would be hard to do in the tourist country.
I can't tell you how many people I've seen defending the energy use of cryptocurrencies by saying in essence "yes, but it's nothing in comparison to the energy we waste on the banking sector so it'll actually become more efficient as it replaces that".
On my Linux laptop I am running Chromium. Do you know if it is going to have this feature or is it just in Chrome.
I think websites on Chromium look better than on Firefox and that's important for me.
But if that feature is going to be in Chromium too, maybe I'll look how to remove that feature, but I'll have to learn how to compile the whole thing. I tried couple of times but always got stuck somewhere.
no one in the real world cares about privacy or encryption either, yet we still advocate for both

It is because it means many code against the security considerations of K&R C.
I would assume that anyway. Who other than sites using Google analytics or ads (so part of the tracking network anyway) would opt in to being part of the tracking network that (unless they switch to Google's ads too) offers little or no benefit to them?
Adversary with drones makes a lot of sense in general and is probably happening.

Not quite seeing why the UFOs is connected to that? There is a fair big gap between even sophisticated drones and reports of stuff going supersonic without a bang for example.
Just like China banned drugs, they even have death penalty, yet they probably export more drugs than any other country.
Remote jobs and Work from Home Jobs search

It's a search engine with listings of thousands of remote jobs. All the listings are verified and active.
With millions of dollars, you can buy convenience passports in e.g. Kazakhstan or Bulgaria.

Not the most powerful passports in the world, but enough to get visas for a lot of Western places.
Sure maybe but I can't think of any precedent for what you're saying. Countries have typically gone from some advertising to even more advertising. An example in which convincing people to buy stuff got harder and people bought the same amount or more stuff doesn't spring to mind.
We use it in production with spring boot and deploy a single jar file on azure. Works pretty well
The wheel well is not accessible from the plane. And of course the pilot would lower the gear when landing, they are not going to do a belly landing and destroy tens of millions of dollars of property and risk everyone on board's life to try to save one stowaway.
They've probably only included the modules they're using, or maybe they're statically linked and so only including the specific code used. Bundling the whole set of shared libraries is what I've seen a lot of though! Often in the context of a Python program using PyQt.
I find it unplayable without a speed/stamina mod tbh.

Morrowind's 'fast travel' system feels like a drawback since it makes you skip the content/world. I generally start using stuff like silt striders after taking the walking road a couple times perhaps
> Scala [is] easier to read and write that Java

You either haven't used Scala, or you haven't used Java.
"If I live alone in a big house with 5 rooms, I could host at least 10-15 people there. They would surely rather live in that nice house, and not on the street."

Would it still be a nice house if 10-15 people with no kinship were crammed into it?

We can see from the way that people chose to spend and live that most people regard privacy as important to their idea of home.

"What causes that scarcity that I live alone in a big house, while homeless people roam the streets? Property rights."

No, scarcity is inherent, as explained earlier.

With your home example, the land itself is scarce. Somebody has invested to build and maintain the building. The house would quickly be ruined and stripped if not for care and property protections.

"Rights protection, in balance, is what allows society to rise above a pile of people consuming everything to scarcity and filling everything to capacity, with no ability to take a long-term view other mere existence."

At the start of the thread, you were using the language of real property to argue for IP. But here, you reveal that you are in fact opposed to real property.
Not sure what else they could say, when 95% of FastAPI features come directly from Starlette. Again, the code on github speak for itself.
As for the remaining 5%, that's basically pydantic and the swagger / openAPI stuff: questionably useful and very easily reimplemented if need be.

The way I see it, FastAPI stole much of the recognition Starlette deserved. I find it a bit sad. Starlette is where all the async magic happens.
Ask HN: How is it working in RPA?
Robotic Process Automation devs, could you please tell me what's it like working with RPA? What are the good and bad parts of your daily work?

I've been looking at Robotic Process Automation as a possible future career. Currently taking classes over at UiPath Academy. I've done similar work before (automation, crawling, etc) as a dev but UiPath is more enterprise and complex then the tools I've used.

RPA seems like a growth market - especially UiPath - but the actual work as an automation dev seems... boring, doing work that's pretty fragile to change.
I didn't, thanks.

I think that there are use-cases in which java is more performant than his low-performance options, and can be as performant as his high-performance options, while providing a much larger ecosystem.

I think the parent poster actually makes a very weird set of choices - "when my high level choice, python, is not cutting the mustard, I am happy to throw away breadth of support entirely in the name of optimisation."

It's up to him what his preferences are, of course, I'm not saying they're wrong as much as personal.

People have framed in their minds that "FLoC == tracking, no FLoC == no tracking". But that is actually 0% true, FLoC is less tracking than what is currently happening today
