Kinda. In a normal IPO the big banks will agree to underwrite (that is, buy from the company and then immediately sell to investors) all the shares at an initial "offering price", and this is agreed upon in writing a little bit before the launch day. I don't believe this happens in the direct listing format, it just starts floating with no underwriting process.

So there is a difference in structure, but to your point immediately after launch it does not really matter to the general investing public
I think it’s like https://www.descript.com/
Only if you update dependencies, a fresh install would not have such integrity checks, so it's just as vulnerable as Deno hosts to such attacks
In fact, the battery life really is good enough to cause this issue. Similar problem with Garmin watches and their proprietary cables.

Producing blocks != coin production
If someone pays you in cash, do you really look up the serial numbers of all the bills you receive?
That would work. But then there's also the question if the received transaction counts as taxable income in the jurisdiction of the receiver. If that's the case and if they received a very significant amount they would be forced to sell some of the coins so that they can pay the tax for them.
Actually, they might. It just a matter of creating a FPGA implementation.
Which one are you referring to? Because I can think of a few.
Does anyone know what percentage of their business is in Bitcoin vs Etherium vs other crypto currencies? I have not been able to find that out and I think it would be a helpful thing to know in terms of forecasting their business. Does anyone know how I can find that out?

Thank you anyone who can help.
Wow. I was expecting the UI to feel dated/retro, but it still looks really good. And the window snapping behavior is still as satisfying as it always was. Timeless?
Very impressed by the looks of a lot of things on his blog. Tasteful and never over the top, but still interesting and unique. But I did not appreciate the audio being played when hovering over things, or pressing things. Audio in a browser should really only be used in a session that truly needs it, examples include: games, video/radio/media, chatting.

I'm not a web-text-purist, but audio in a document is where I draw the line, that annoyed me.
completely 'normal'.. I've literally never been trained on anything that I've actually worked on. The natural reaction to this is basically the standard 'google all the things' when you're working with something new.
> Coinbase brought a true sense of legitimacy and trustworthiness to Bitcoin exchanging.

I could be wrong but to me this makes every shill for crypto that says "it's anonymous!" a joke.

I had to provide a driver's license and do checking account verification to be approved on Coinbase. Does that not remove the anonymity or am I missing something?
The simplest answer is that returning it isn't free.
Note that these checks and balances don't apply to non-citizens of the country, who are the people affected the use of AI in military (one of the exemptions listed above). If a EU member state abuses AI in the military against a non-European, what direct recourse do they have?
You could use also do that to embarrass/blackmail politicians or other prominent people. Imagine the threat "You either do what I want or I'll send you 1 million dollars" :)
I had a family member do lambda school recently, they got an “apprentice software engineer” job immediately after graduation, and this is someone who probably would NOT have done well going to college. YMMV
French spelling is unidirectional. I can comfortably say any French word (albeit with a couple key exceptions, such as "et" or "clef", that break rules), but I can't reliably go from someone talking to how to spell it. "Eaux", "eau", "au", and "aux", or alternatively e.g. "ou", "oux", etc., all have identical pronunciations, but different spellings.

Unsurprisingly, we can vaguely quantify this by looking at dyslexia amongst languages. English and various Southeast Asian languages that rely on Chinese ideographs are by far the worst, followed by things like Arabic, French, Hebrew, and German that have fewer exceptions but less guidance, and then followed last by things like Spanish, Cherokee, and so on that are truly one-to-one.
I would add - by focusing on using the economic value of electricity and stacks of special semiconductors to secure your network, you actually are making the network vulnerable to folks that can effectively create arbitrage on those specific narrow resources. In contrast, proof of stake can leverage a much broader range of economic resources that have far fewer arbitrage opportunities.
You can buy Monero from Kraken in the US just fine.

Also, Monero actually focused on on-chain scaling with it's dynamic blocksize, as opposed to Litecoin that follows the Bitcoin way of second layer scaling.
This sounds like something that will get cloned and sold for 39 dollars at a gift store
How could it possibly have helped arrest someone? Seems like it's being deployed as a chilling effect on residents.
This is not an issue since they make money from per trade.
Yeah, I really wish that HN required you to comment in order to downvote. Or even just required that a comment had replies before it could be downvoted; I don't care so much that every single person justifies their downvote as that the person getting downvoted gets an explanation.
> or is an operator in C++

Yes.

> and if you #include <iso646.h> in C

Sort of. As a preprocessor token, it's an identifier that happens to be the name of a macro. As a token (after preprocessing), it becomes the "||" operator.
1 - Qt is not an OS SDK. Apparently you missed that part of my comment.

2 - Qt has been migrating away from pure C++, again you also missed pure from my comment, modern Qt applications are written in Qt Quick, a JavaScript dialect, with underlying components written in C++.

C++ Widgets have hardly changed since Qt 4, other than being updated to the underlying Qt infrastructure.
I think programming is more than just algorithms. System design and architecture have a real impact on the longevity and maintainability of your system, and I'd argue that data models (not structures per se, the distinction being logical vs. physical) are foundational to a good design. In contrast, algorithms play a much more focused role.

Put differently:

> Data structures are encoded with use cases in mind, those use cases at least at the very low level are their algorithms.

As you've lampshaded, it's the use cases that are most fundamental. The data model should be designed to serve those use cases. The data structures and algorithms reflect the physical reality of the logical data model.

Binance trades 10x the volume, so if Coinbase is worth 1/10 of the crypto market, is Binance worth 1x the crypto market?

I used to buy my coins on MtGox, I am still waiting on the closure of that lawsuit in Japan.

Happy to have done business with Coinbase back in 2015..

Of course later on I looked for a better and cheaper exchange, but really, Coinbase helped Bitcoin grow as much as Bitcoin helped Coinbase grow...

Today Coinbase is just one of many faceless shitcoin casinos but they had their use, once upon a time...
I was. Most Bitcoin OGs have a lot of animosity towards Coinbase. Some of it is the "eternal September"[0] effect that Coinbase had bringing a lot of new people who didn't embrace Bitcoin's values and just wanted to gamble on crypto.

But some of it is based on Coinbase's actions against Bitcoin over the years. They've promoted and helped pump up a lot of s*t coins, including forks of Bitcoin. And they've done little to support or further the values Bitcoin was built on or core development.

So, the good news is that lots of native English speakers don't know how to pronounce things either. Of course I know how to say all the words I speak frequently and hear others using - but if I use a word I haven't heard there's a risk I'll say it wrong. You just learn not to worry about it (the biggest problem really is when you unconsciously try to correct somebody else and realise you've got not basis for your assumed pronunciation).

For example I'd seen adenovirus written down, but never heard it said out loud, I was describing the vaccine I'd had to friends, one of whom works in medicine (a doctor, but not of medicine) and she corrected my pronunciation because she's used that word plenty of times so she (presumably) knows how to say it correctly.

Even for a completely native immersed speaker, there's just no clue in English how to correctly say a completely new word you've only seen written down, so you're at no disadvantage there. For "real" words there may be an etymological clue, but those aren't reliable. In fiction it's anything goes. Hearing fictional words I've read pronounced out loud in movies is as weird for me as seeing the (inevitable) transformation of a woman described as plain in the books into a beautiful Holywood actress...

It's obviously a bigger problem with some common English words - either where they are actually two separate words with different pronunciations but the same spelling, or worse, one word but with different stress patterns. But once you've got a fair-sized vocab the new words you're learning won't have that sort of weirdness.

It's definitely true that if you're not confident pronunciation can really be an obstacle, fortunately the huge vocab helps again - a (non-English native but UK citizen) friend of mine will carefully choose to talk about liking the "seaside" never the "beach" because she's concerned she'll manage to make people think she said "bitch". She has a few other words like that, in each case English provides convenient alternatives.
Yes, for me the main use case for using FeedBurner was also the email subscriptions. Funnily enough, I was looking at alternatives just a few days ago because I had the feeling Google might kill it sooner or later.
i dunno how people say VCs have a return of only 9% year when Ycombinator is absolutely crushing that even with a high failure rate. AirBNB, box, dropbox, coinbase, etc.

Well, then I can only say we revisit this thread in year 2081. I started investing when I was 40. My son started investing when he was 5. He has 60 more years of compounding ahead of him. Even if the rate of return drops to 7% instead of historical (around) 10.3%, he'll be good. Also, I wasn't referring to $5,000,000 in today's money, but in year 2081 money. I know it will be much less than today but heck, it will probably be much more than what is $50,000 today.
Do AD drugs attempt to reduce the concentration of APOE in the brain? If so, is it known if these drugs either failed to reduce the concentration of APOE, or succeeded in reducing concentration but still didn't work?
The book "The End of Alzheimers" makes a case that there are 36 causes of Alzheimers. It's the combination of those causes that results in the disease. The more of those causes a person has, the more likely they'll develop Alzheimers.

This is why research and treatments that focus on only one cause have all been stymied and went nowhere.

The book's treatment program is to address as many of the causes as possible.

Its not pedantic at all, it's the most interesting part of this IPO, because this is a new way to do IPOs.
Very nice. Also looking at Milkdrop visualizer and CPU utilization on 4K full screen it seems that they did based on WebGL. Great work.
Close: 1Password for Mac itself can still unlock using Touch ID on supported systems, it is just the integration between 1Password for Mac and the 1Password browser extension that is currently lacking. It is possible to use the 1Password Classic extension in order to have that functionality, but we're defaulting to the former now as there are so many other improvements you lose out on otherwise.
They should retroactively penalize hospitals for trying to hide this information as it is clearly against the spirit of the law.
To be considered a competent reader of a standard newspaper you need a 6 years of education in English, while only 5 in Spanish. I understand Japanese requires 9 years of school for the same feat (I'm don't know how to verify this claim, but it seems reasonable).

There there is a very real cost to not mapping spoken and written languages: kids need to spend more time in school learning basic reading skill - time that could be spent either learning something else, or playing.

Ask HN: A lucky failure looking for guidance
Longtime user here but going anon for obvious reasons.

I grew up in an immigrant household that did not accept The West. Child abuse/trauma ensued, and I was threatened to pursue a career I didn't want, despite having expressed deep interests in engineering.

I went to grad school, hated it, dropped out at the 11th hour with ~$300k in debt to pursue "startups", wholly unequipped in terms of experience, skills, network, and mental health. A year later, I cofounded a company with someone I'd only recently met. I was admittedly a terrible cofounder – wrecked with fear, avoidant, totally incapable of stepping up to the challenge. I was great at shutting my mouth, going with the flow, and taking orders.

The company grew to a stage where I couldn't keep up, and I was eventually let go. Looking back, I would've given myself the boot if I was in charge. Sometime later, the company had a successful exit and I made out OK. I got lucky.

Now I find myself in my mid-30s, without any real structured experience in building a company & product, few marketable skills that'd only land me a junior position, no network to leverage, poor mental health, and worst of all: dreams of building something meaningful – dreams that I seem incapable of fulfilling.

I'm at wit's end and feeling hopeless. Most attempts to address these issues have been unsuccessful: years of therapists and medication have done little, and despite attempting to embrace some interests, fear and lack of motivation have prevented me from facing challenges and making decisions, etc.

All the while, friends my age and younger seem to be hitting their strides with purpose and energy. It feels like it'll take a decade before I'm in any reasonably healthy state to build something, which really doesn't seem worth it.
Bitcoin's "magic property" is the faith that the miners have. It has been hardforked, but the majority of computing power has chosen to stay on Bitcoin.
The delayed-choice quantum eraser and the Triple Phasor Paradox might be the "glitches" of today's physics.
You wouldn't be selling those on the open market, institutions have been able to acquire billions of dollars worth of crypto OTC without moving markets.

Another option is, now that it's becoming clear to people that Bitcoin is here to stay, you can just borrow against it to spend (avoid taxes, hold on to the upside). Case in point, this person/group borrowed 300M$ with about 1B$ net worth[1].

Curious - how do you end up handling transactions that span services?

I'm getting into go, but there doesn't seem to be a great pattern for this. Used to @Transactional on the service, so feels annoying in having to build that.
To me it's more likely due to not being able to see reality is more nuanced than 2 options.
And for those pointing out YouTube Kids: it is only slightly less bad. It’s still full of questionable material.

Perhaps off-topic but how have people upgraded TF codebases to new versions? Just last year we had a big effort to upgrade a huge code-base from 0.11 to 0.12. I feel like it should be a lot smoother than a full-team full-sprint effort.

related, but has anyone noticed younger Americans pronouncing a few specific types of words differently as of late?

I'm 29 and grew up in the Midwest, so in my accent, when I say "button," the "tt" is nearly silent. however, at my last job doing remote web development, one guy who was a bit younger than me (and also American) would pronounce it "BUH 'in," with noticeable "stop" between the two syllables. I have since noticed this in other younger Americans as well, and for other words I cannot recall right now but with the same general pattern.
I wonder if they could somehow collect interest off it anonymously. I read about certain coins offering staking, but not sure how it works and if it's possible to collect interest without revealing your identity.
How does this rebut any of the points you are replying to?
and how do the people who drop out of a university with student loans but no degree do? If you drop out of lambda school, or even if you graduate but don’t make 50k / year in a tech job, you pay nothing.

How to Calm Your Inner Storm
Where nobody is willing to stand in on the editorial side, the decision is being made, effectively, by the submitter pool with the largest content creation capacity, and its interaction with algorithmic and promoted content dissemination. That is, the decision is already being made, the only question is whether or not the results have strong truth valance.

The ship has, in a word, sailed.

If you create a vast, global, instant, high-fidelity, interactive content dissemination system with a strongly aspirational and appealing audience, then parasitic opportunists who seek only to serve their own rather than others' interests will flock to it. And have, in spades.

And I've seen this game play out repeatedly: in print, on radio, television, Usenet, email, and since approximately 1997, on the Web and mobile Internet.

There are parties already making truth determinations, and their doing a demonstrably horrible job at it from a common weal perspective. And that is the problem.

"Just don't use Facebook" doesn't work for two principle reasons:

1. Facebook is increasingly central to, or required for, numerous real-world interactions.

2. Even if, as I do, you don't use the service, you live in the world it creates. Facebook has massive negative externalities. Like, oh, say, civil war and genocide in Myanmar, to mention only one aspect.

(There are others closer to home for most readers here. I'm hoping HN won't lose its collective mind if I don't mention these.)

Another element that factors in is that Big Lie propaganda is reliant on disseminating the Big Lie. Scale is directly the problem, and offering unrestricted access to, choose the amplification metaphor of your choice, the printing press, microphone, camera, TV/Radio station, etc., has risks. Especially for those who would see the tools themselves burned down along with all else.

In which case, drastically curtailing the spread of any content from identified actors and their associated networks responsible for spreading obvious and notable disinformation ... is highly defensible.

I'm well aware of numerous arguments, predicated on or observing exceptions to free speech, which typically follow such statements. I find both the free-speech absolutist and the private property / private actor restriction privilege arguments tired and uninspired. The reality is complex, and I don't have either simple solutions or any which are conformant simultaneously with "free speech" or "property rights" positions.

Both, to my mind, exist in a nexus and network of overlapping interests and rights. I've suggested "information autonomy" as an alternative to "free speech", though the expansion of that notion quickly points out internal conflicts. Common weal might offer one path out.

I did my bachelor's in maths in English and my master's in Spanish. I don't think my reasoning is very wordless, but I do think all of my reasoning is kind of geometric. I close my eyes and move my arms around to move a normaliser of a group action or try to trace with my fingers the integral lines of a manifold's tangent bundle.

But as I'm doing these things, I'm often muttering to myself as well, and I may do it in Spanish or English.

How do you think projects get finished?

I wrote a competitor to OwnCloud and NextCloud that took years of working by myself to make. With no budget by myself. Obviously the quality isn't quite as polished as my competition.

By your logic only OwnCloud and NextCloud should be allowed on here. Despite both of them having their own marketing budget they promote with. They should get to come into aggregate lists and boot out the little guy.

How so? For example coinbase is happy to convert your early bought coins to fiat if you want, and these days the liquidity is billions.

Would bitcoin be worth nearly as much as it now if Coinbase didn't exist?
And down bitcoin goes. $3k off the highs. If given a choice between 1 million to invest in in a large cap growth stock portfolio vs. Bitcoin, I would choose the stock portfolio every time. Crypto too volatile relative to upside. Airbnb and other big tech growth stocks have much smoother returns which can be magnified with some leverage strategies.
