The current state with third-party cookie tracking is terrible. This is terrible in a different way. It gives Google even more control over the ad-tech industry. Rather than a diversity of ad-tech kings using third-party cookies to track people and invade privacy, this becomes the "One Ring to Rule Them All" that makes Google even more dominant in ad-tech, while allowing them to pretend that they care about privacy as a prophylactic to anti-trust action. It's nothing if not clever.
You could imagine that skill would be prized at somewhere like the CIA
How does this help with journalism? Facts are not subject to copyright and articles about what other articles say or that are rewritten to share the same info are common.
Yeah. Breath of the wild seems the same way. I've never played it but i watched my old roommate play it.

Its focus on exploration was cool, but it missed that thing that made zelda 1 fun.(apparently this was the inspiration for breath of the wild)

Zelda 1 was pretty open ended, but again, all the things you found were useful, sure you could do the dungeons in a variety of orders and go wherever, but that's not what made it fun, what made it fun was that you could do that and that all those dungeons had one cool, useful, gamechanging thing to find.

BoTW gave you all the game changing stuff at the beginning and said here...here's a world, ganon's over there, you probably can't get him now, but just wander around long enough and you can, or know what you're doing and you can.

In theory that seems fun, but the lack of structure and progression kills it. That's what made zelda so great to begin with.
But Bitcoin is only going to continue to grow exponentially and the CO2 emissions by it will easily outpace building insulation problems.

I was a PHP developer for over 15 years and those three concepts do more to lower the barrier to entry than any other language I’ve come across, and are constantly underestimated in their power to enable developers to concentrate on the business logic of their program.
Thanks for crawling and making it all available!

Looking back at this data is quite personal for me as I ended up getting hired by ascribe.io in that process of finding a job.

At ascribe, we an stored art work's hash on the Bitcoin blockchain using the OP_RETURN value. Looking at your crawled data, it's registration calls are hard to miss [1].

It's crazy to think that some of this data is now stored in there forever.

Assisted GPS just helps with a faster initial acquisition. You can put your phone in airplane mode to test it out. It might be a little slower to acquire, but you'll get good accuracy.
I suppose it depends what circles you run in. I can name thirty people without pausing for breath that I know who believe that not only are men and women interchangeable, but that it is ethically monstrous to even assign shades of "masculine" or "feminine" to any behavior, as that implies that more of either men or women display that behavior. Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing how common that way of thinking is- I thought it was constrained to academic and artistic circles in major urban cities, but these ideas have begun to crop up everywhere. Perhaps you're right, and they are the exception, rather than the rule, but they also seem to be the ones I keep getting caught up in discussions of male/female equity.

So in other words: enemies of the constitution (Berlin’s government has repeatedly set up unconstitutional laws and regulations) are flexing their muscle by sending their extra legal enforcers to the streets: enemies of the constitution, the Antifa, the Club for upper class kids to be violent without legal consequences.
>I felt like that I should've got promoted after reporting those issues, especially since I found them within my frist two weeks.

Dude, don't take this the wrong way but the workplace (and the world) do not operate the way you think they do. Your expectations are wildly out of line with reality. You need to adjust your expectations and learn some humility.

I am also confused about how you've never worked anywhere for more then two months but were also constantly maxing out your 1GB email quota in those two months? BTW, in the corporate world 1GB email quota is on the high end.

As is tradition on HN
> These days, cable TV companies routinely sell gigabit or near-gigabit download speeds to their HFC-network customers.

but ultimately coax is polishing the brass doorknobs on the titanic. gigabit down, yes, but at what contention ratio? and how many upstream channels are bonded for a reasonable upstream speed? It's not uncommon to see something like a comcast setup that is 800 Mbps down, and 16 Mbps upstream. How much traffic throughput can a given section of coax/DOCSIS3 network support if a large percentage of people actually start using their upstream for more than a tiny percentage of the time?

in terms of future upgrade path and ultimate life span of the outside plant cable network, singlemode fiber to the home wins every time...

one theory as to why the speed offerings from click/rainier connect are so poor is that the coax plant has not been subdivided into small enough sections to actually support anything like gigabit to the consumer. now this would require going through and re-engineering it, breaking parts of the network apart physically, and installing new small CMTS in neighborhood aggregation points.
Theres a price to privacy. When I was younger I jumped on the bandwagon and for a period only used Firefox with cookie autodelete and cache cleared every exit.

Now I just see it as being asocial. If Google didn't monetize search with ads how would you discover new products? Without ads websites would not be able to deliver premium content and we would all still be stuck in the early 90s. The internet would work like some broken socialist version of wikipedia.

I have ad free YouTube and sometimes I consider turning it off just to see what kinds of ads are out there that I've missed.

I wonder how the author would feel about me copying & pasting their article to a few different websites (such as Medium.com), and then collecting both the financial proceeds & the credit.
Indeed. I wonder how it'll go for the next few years. Feels like 2013, 2017 these days.
Throwaway so this can’t be linked to my professional persona.

In this specific paragraph I would usually provide my work history to back what I’m saying I can’t however so you need to put a bit of trust that I’m a specialist at hiring people to different tech jobs. If you don’t, well, your call.

Based on those few short paragraphs I can see many flaws with your character and our interview would probably be very short even if you’d be able to _cheat_ your way in - as I don’t believe that your entry information isn’t oversweetened to the point of puke.

So from hi
- Paper takes everything, deep background check is usually far after interview. You can write anything there. If it’s plausible we can talk.
- Contrary to what some people here say, tech interviews aren’t reward in their own. It’s not random chance to get 1/500. Multi-staged mixed-interviewers are here for a reason. One person can make mistake. 5 people reviewing same person will find almost everything
- You’re desperate. Desperate people aren’t good specialists.
- When joining organization one of the most important questions is whether you can align. If you can’t, you’re out.
- Even in your description you’re pulling out the big guns - you name Google, Facebook, Dell, NSA, CIA and then you’re a dropout who worked for a Amazon customer support role. Lot of smoke but no fire.

There is (obviously) not a lot in your description. Probably resume would be in place and most likely you’re presenting yourself from the best side which still has a lot of glaring issues.

Anyway, on to the road to the solution. You need to get character assessment and possibly even therapy. My guess is you’re exhibiting toxic behavior and if I’m correct it’s very possible you’re not aware about it.

I believe that your road to FAANG is burned down already, it’s not that surprising that you haven’t tried to work for smaller companies as your post screams “I’m the best and deserve the best” which is yet another sign that something is wrong with your character.

Place where I work provides detailed feedback for rejected candidates. I know that at least some of the FAANG provides detailed feedback too. If you haven’t received one it means it was decided that you’re toxic/troublemaker/straight liar and any interaction with you is not only cost but also might start a process no one wants to handle.

Fix yourself and you’ll get a job.
> Bitcoin simply exists in a form where the primary purpose is to waste energy,

That's just your moral judgement. The people who use and make a living off of Bitcoin certainly don't see it as a waste.

> In order for the network to remain secure, it must burn copious amounts of energy.

First, this does not preclude PoW from existing in a world powered 100% renewable energy. Second, I've already outlined a way to economically penalize PoW miners for using fossil fuels here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26829269.

Please do not make the mistake of believing that your (rightful) concerns about CO2 emissions from PoW are being overlooked, and please do not make the mistake of thinking that they cannot be addressed. PoW does not require burning fossil fuels to work.
Probably, Apple, AMD, and NVIDIA would pay for 3nm instead of 5nm. Apple may be the first one to use 3nm. If it gets lots of gain, there would be lots of followers.

So what do they do if they want to be a news organisation instead of a PR outfit?
That is not true, A-GPS just speeds up the time to fix by supplying ephemeral data via a sidechannel. It just takes longer to receive via GPS if it is out of date or you have moved position considerately since last fix
The BBC is no better or more "neutral" than commercial news outlets. If you're looking for an outlet than can "validate" the news, and you're suggesting that it should be fully funded and operated by the government, that becomes scary quickly. It will just be an administration tool, and as an administration tool it will ultimately be run by the family and friends of the people who finance the election of administrations.

The overgrown mutant NPR that centrists imagine government's media department would, under your nightmare Trump administration, become the Trump Network, operated by a bunch of smirking Faucis so much better than the system that feeds them and they help run. NPR gets all of its money from giant investment funds, extractive industries, agribusiness, military contractors, and foundations named after families of multigenerational wealth acquired by doing terrible things. It was editorially destroyed during the first Bush administration out of simple Republican vengeance, even though they weren't even getting a majority of their financing from the government.

A lot of times when I hear this take, NPR and the BBC are the models. I don't think they're good ones.

A Crisis of Long-Term Unemployment Is Looming in the U.S.
This feels so un-PHP. One of the reasons PHP won is because it was relatively environmentally neutral.

There was a galaxy of free and cheap PHP software whose deployment process was basically "FTP everything up and plug in database credentials." At most, you might have to confirm you had PHP5+, but basically any random cheap hosting or default-config VPS would work with default or near-default settings.

In contrast, a lot of Rails and Node stuff was much more fragile by comparison-- I can recall trying to deploy other people's RoR applications and it turns into a huge rabbit hole of version matching and dependencies that aren't there out of the box and "OMG you never should have started with $distro."

The Docker mindset feels like a snarky response to "it works on my machine"; rather than actually making things reasonably environment-neutral, just ship your machine with every install!
Yes. Cryptocurrencies are used because they're the only market that hasn't yet been regulated to death. People come to Bitcoin for 2 reasons, mainly:

1. It's a practical way to store value without the government destroying it by monetary emission.

2. People are free to speculate.

The solution to the first point is that governments should stop pulling the rug from under people's feet. Monetary emission should be predictable in the short, medium, and long term, or be tied to some real world indicator, like the cost of consumer goods. Just stop with this inflationary nonsense.

Problem 2 will be partially solved by time. Relative price changes in Bitcoin are reduced each cycle, so by the year 2030 the incentive to speculate in the short term will be much smaller. We will see it more as a long term investment. Another solution is to deregulate other markets so that we can freely speculate in them and stop putting as much attention to Bitcoin, but I don't think politicians are very eager to do that, and it could also have some negative consequences.
Changing a hash is incredibly easy, you could just change some Metadata and the hash would change. And any perceptual hashing algorithms would naturally lead to false positives.

Also this would likely be quickly commandeered for copyrighted work (honestly pretty surprised it hasn't happened already).
Meanwhile, this kind of attitude in users is exactly why everyone is stuck with dumbed-down, more complex/more buggy, less powerful solutions. The more information is available at people's fingertips, the less people are willing to take a few seconds to discover it.
Many things are symptoms of human greed, isn't that what capitalist societies are built on, after all? If carbon was taxed, you'd see a huge investment in green energy and nuclear from both BTC and everyone else then it wouldn't matter. Why should one industry pay for externalities and another not?

Which is trivially easy to get.
A codebase easily contains thousands of identifiers - sometimes millions. You need a verbose, (hopefully) unique way to refer to them, because otherwise you will never find out which variable refers to what.

On the other hand, in a typical math textbook, the kind that will take you a full year to read through, the list of "all the symbols ever used in this book" usually fits in a single page.

There's no point in writing "CircumferenceRatio" when π does the job. Imagine solving a partial differential equation with CircumferenceRatio appearing five times each line.

which people trust to be unmodifiable and thus, dependable. That's what it means to trust it.

That’s probably already the case. This is a common area of speculation in the SEO community. Trying to figure what factors are used by Google to determine the ranking.

People will add it in their configs and anecdotally perceive that it has an impact in their rankings. It would likely become a must for SEO.

This a reflection of how incredibly genius the original PageRank was. It’s what makes Google the business it is. It’s almost like a small model of free market behavior. Except that in this case Adam Smith’s invisible hand is Google. That’s what makes Google so powerful and scary.
No More Nanometers – It’s Time for New Node Naming (2020)
“Urine also makes a good soil fertilizer because of its high nitrogen content, said Lalander.”

Any suggestions on where to put urine to be used as fertilizer? I’ve read the term “nitre pit” and am guessing it’s pee plus dirt, with compost in a separate place so the ammonia doesn’t interfere with composting.

To separate poop and pee in general, we’ll have to change our habits: “Aiming is important, and men must sit. That may be fine for a committed person with a urine-diverting toilet in their home, but it's unrealistic to expect everyone to alter their behavior when using a public toilet, said Hill.”

Unless I’m outside, I’ve been sitting to pee since basic military training; cleaning piss-splash off the walls takes extra time and isn’t fun, so I and almost everyone else helped out with prevention.
Seems quite clear that the author would encourage that and be glad of it. There's a CC0 license at the bottom.
That may very well be the case. That being said, some promoters may decide to neglect some classes of housing or hold out for more profitable ventures even when you fix zoning. So public housing may or may not be needed still, that's going to depend on what happens.
Security. While many other exchanges have been hacked or simply walked away with users' money, coinbase is one of the oldest that is still around, and has remained professional and secure throughout.

They refused to support various blockchains until they were sure they could do it securely and reliably.

In a way it's somewhat poetic, as they sell trust for a trustless ecosystem.
Sure. I like to conceive of rent control as a tax on the young and mobile for the benefit of families and seniors. It's redistributive. And one question that we normally would like to answer is whether the whole is better off on average with the scheme than without it. But answering that is difficult; heck, even formulating the question is contentious.

Are we better off with our military budget being so high? Why aren't many (or any?) budding economics Ph.Ds writing thesis papers quantifying inefficiencies in strategic military spending? Perhaps because they understand that to answer such questions you have to quantify both the costs and the benefits; but quantifying the benefits is intractable and/or just plain futile. It requires establishing a set of criteria as a proxy for the "benefit", and good luck getting people to accept those criteria when it came time to act on your policy proposals. And to be at all persuasive you often need to establish and analyze a bunch of counterfactuals, which is similarly problematic. Any policy conclusion is necessarily built on sand. This is fundamentally why politics isn't just some subset of economics or accounting. For sure there are ways to apply economics to improve efficiencies, but they're quite distinct from approaches that attempt to answer whether defense spending is, in the abstract, worthwhile, or what the optimal expenditure is.

All that said, certainly the less that a policy domain is amenable to rigorous quantification, the less accountable are voters and politicians. And rent control can often be used as an excuse to avoid facing hard choices about reducing housing supply costs, such as addressing restrictive zoning issues. But that's the nature of politics. One group is anxious about housing or other economic security. Another group is fearful of a Marxist policy dystopia unhinged from market price signaling. It's the same basic story over and over again.
In defense of the original commenter, they mentioned they had a personal connection to the person paid to do that work. It seems plausible enough that that was the reason it was picked as an example, over other things they might have no personal connection to. I would be inclined to chalk it up to that, rather than anything else.
What happens if something is thrown? You can have try without catch if there is a finally block, but with neither catch nor finally, then what?

(There are other features I wanted in JavaScript too, though, such as getting rid of automatic semicolon insertion, and adding a "goto" command, and adding macros (these three things can all be implemented using a preprocessor, so even if they are not a part of JavaScript, they can still be used). There are also some things that can't easily or efficiently be added other than adding into JavaScript directly, such as new functions for integers such as popcount and ctz and Date.bigNow() and the MOR and MXOR of MMIX. Some things they have already added that I have wanted, such as integers and byte arrays; I am glad that they added those things.)
Why does everyone make this excuse for Intel? It really sounds like fanboyism. Not trying to offend.
I think Bitcoin (and crypto in general) has prooven to be disruptive in many areas (in a negative way) and has yet to deliver any tangible positives that would outweight the negatives.

It's basically becoming a unregulated comodity that big money institutions get to gamble with because there is just nowhere to put the money on the market right now. If bitcoin and crypto (ETH, etc.) was just a money dumping speculation comodities I wouldn't even bother thinking about it - but it's causing realworld problems (eg. hardware disruptions) and it's going to get worse and worse.

So I'm in favor of preventing institutional investors in crypto in some form, but unfortunately it's not going to happen - too many individual interests behind it at this point and nobody gives a fuck about the overall stability.
So, one reason to use PHP instead of Ruby is that you will need 100x fewer servers. When you need 100x fewer servers you might also need 100% fewer devops people.
