Nope. You made some leaps there. In one case you are providing a loan to, essentially a stranger that has been "vetted" but there's literally nothing stopping them taking off with the money. Twino won't try too hard if you lose your 10k.

With the liquidity pools, you are adding your money to literally 100s of millions of dollars already in the pool. No one can really take off with the money because you can track everything. I'd say the risk is significantly less.

In practice this means that the large, established stable coin liquidity pools which have existed for years, have never been hacked which means your loss rate is 0%. The loan repayment rates, I am sure are not 100%.

> Now there are four options WPF, WinForms, UWP and Xamarin. Ok...Why are there four options? What are the differences? Are one or more of them about to be deprecated?

You're most likely best of picking WinForms. It's old school, but it seems like it's going to be the one Microsoft will have the hardest time killing.

WPF, UWP and Xamarin fine frameworks, but for the 0.9X developer who just want a window, with a few input and some buttons, you can't beat WinForms in ease of use.

My reasoning is that most of the developers who saw WPF and jumped on that, are the same who will more easily jump to UWP, and from there to what ever comes next. The WinForms developer aren't moving.
I'm as libertarian as they come, but if there's one action that should be taxed, that's pollution.

>the only major cryto with the property of fungibility

Yes agreed.

Both Bitcoins and ETH tokens can be "tainted" and that taint takes for ever to "diffuse" in the chain.

This makes some Bitcoins/ETH less valuable than others.

For example, most valuable Bitcoins are newly mined coins (they have no history), whereas a - say - Bifinex hacked Bitcoin carries a pungent smell.

My understanding is, a "Smart Motorway" gets a bunch of safety upgrades, the government won't fund these upgrades for other motorways, even though they'd be applicable, because then you'd have an apples-to-apples comparison and you likely find that, duh, Smart Motorways are unsafe.

Because the purpose of this work is capacity increase, it almost unavoidably increases total fatalities because it increases traffic. If 10% more cars make a journey, even if those journeys aren't made less safe you get 10% more fatal accidents.
Thanks for the kind words :)

I like your idea. As I understand it, since SQLite performs better on most benchmarks anyway, why not have an engine subclass that utilizes SQLite itself?

This would be a little trickier than your envisioning. The engine class is the lowest layer but doesn't handle the slow bits like the finds, managing the indicies, etc. So to really get the benefit of SQLite you would have to pull those slow bits in.

I do really like the idea of offering a third option so that you have
- Memory (fastest)
- SQLite (almost as fast but compromises on perfect MongoDB reproduction)
- Disk (slower but is faithful to MongoDB)

Happy to discuss it more if you want to email me.

> How do you feel about type annotations in* the code (as opposed to just the comments, as far as I can see)

I used type annotations for a while when they came out but didn't find them to offer advantages over docstrings. The world might have moved over to type annotations though and I've not been aware.

> PyPy? I wonder if you'd get a ~free speedup

I'm getting a lot of suspicion right now from other commenters who are convinced I have my thumb on the benchmarks and I don't want to give them any more excuses :tears-of-joy:. But joking aside, you're probably right and it's not something I had considered.
For some reason you extrapolated that I support government ownership of everyones houses. My comment was very clear, with the economy being what it is people are better of owning their houses than renting. When you own the house your only cost is maintenance and you don't fear of living in the street one day. And the question is also clear, by transfering the ownership to any agregator, can they guarantee you will not live on the street one day? They answer is no. Let's move on then.

I have an iMac pro as my main workstation in an open plan apartment/home office, and will often move it from my desk to the large kitchen table (to collaborate with someone when they're over). The extension cord I use is long enough to keep it powered on.

I quite like it, and with the recent shift to working from home and decrease in travel over the next couple of years I think I'll stick with this set-up for the foreseeable future: powerful desktop driving 3 5k retina monitors + cheapest laptop or ipad I can get away with on the go.
I agree (an unknown amount of Monero is also a fair bit of my portfolio) but more for ideological reasons: privacy is a requirement for individual financial sovereignty.

> I think as I understand it, your question is whether we can't just put a distributed layer on top of basic embedded databases.

Exactly!

> This is really interesting and is something I came across while writing this. It turns out that concurrency is actually quite difficult because either you have global locks, which means only one process can write to the database/indicies at once and slows things down considerably, or you have to do a lot of clever things to avoid those locks.

well, that would be also the case with traditional db services, the question can they have more granular mechanisms for more granular locking than embedded databases. but perhaps they even can have only less granular locking?
Letting users hand over their data with just an OAuth prompt ceased to be acceptable in 2018 when Cambridge Analytica extracted data from millions of naieve Facebook users who just clicked "accept" to hand over data...

Ethereum is easy to change (hard forks often) and so cannot be expected to preserve any key characteristics like emission curve or even the permissionless nature.

I'm honestly just confused by the comments here. No one is having unmet high expectations. There is also nothing unfair here.

You don't need a marketing team to write a single line giving a high-overview description of a solution. Pointing out that such a thing would be helpful is also absolutely ridiculous to reject to the extent as I've seen here.

If an open source project want to identify themselves exclusively through a competitor, then, I'm sure that's fine. However, to avoid sounding like a parrot, I'll leave it at that. Have a nice day
>they are determined by supply and demand

You are correct, but only in theory: this requires the precondition that people are rational economic actors.

In practice, people are weird, and the scarcity of supply creates a demand.

There is therefore a weird feedback loop between the supply and the demand, and scarcity alone is enough to create "value".

Examples:

- Beanie babies

- Magic the gathering cards

- Pokemon cards

- Baseball cards

- DaVinci paintings (where anyone can have an 8k x 8k exact reproduction, but the original is worth a fortune)

- etc...

I don't think accepting that on face value is a big conciliation to the people who find themselves trapped in a live traffic lane with no refuge. Or indeed the people who are pottering along at 70mph for the car in front of them to move suddenly revealing a broken down vehicle in their path.

There isn't really a plausible scenario where removing the hard shoulder improves the safety of a motorway. The difference is most likely that smart motorways are bristling with automatic speed cameras and often have lover than normal speed limits applied during any busy period.
I agree with the system library, and this should be standard. A system library and a system daemon are two different concepts, thought. HTML engines as shared libraries were common in the past (thinking of KHTML or mshtml.dll) and still are (thinking of Qt WebEngine or WebKitGtk). They are not that popular any more because devs want to have 100% control about the concrete engine version and quirks, so they prefer shipping their own engine, as with Electron. I feel that there is a strong rejection against Electron-like application development/shipping.
In my experience a lot of legal departments will block off entire classes of licenses just to be on the safe side.
I find it deeply worrying that Google controls letsencrypt and an increasing amount of "open" source software.

I find it shameful that letsencrypt issues statements like this one:

"we hope to replace the use of OpenSSL and other unsafe TLS libraries in use at Let’s Encrypt with Rustls."

OpenSSL has made companies billions (trillions?) of dollars, now they drop it like a hot potato.

The US Foreign Service has a scale of how difficult languages are for a native English speaker:

https://www.atlasandboots.com/foreign-service-institute-lang...

Category V, requiring 2200 hours of study, has "languages which are exceptionally difficult for native English speakers" and consists of Arabic, *Japanese, Korean,
Cantonese (Chinese) and Mandarin (Chinese), with the asterisk indicating that Japanese is considered the hardest of the lot.

Obvious caveat: the Foreign Service only teaches languages useful for diplomats, meaning that obscure regional languages won't make the cut.

That claim you’ve just made is completely inconsistent with evidence showing much higher side-effect rates for mRNA over traditional formulations.

Moderna has something like an 80% incidence of fever after the second shot. That incidence of side-effect is unheard of, but in the opposite direction you claimed.

Now, this isn’t dangerous, of course.
What a farce.

The piece price is awarded by a committee selected by the political parties of Norways Parlament - for Americans, you can think of this as the Democratic Party in an (almost) mono-ethnic white small 5mil country.

Alfred Nobel set it up such because he thought Norwegians would be more peaceful than Swedes. The science and literature prices are given by the (nonpolitical) Swedish royal academy. This is the reason why the peace price is so different from the other prices.
Very, very few other mammals are monogamous. Most birds are monogamous, but even in birds, about half of them mate for life and the others mate seasonally, meaning they find a new mate even season. It would be truly bizarre if we were not only one of the only monogamous mammals, but also mate for life!

Monogamy is, more or less, a female fantasy. All women love the fact that birds mate for life. Meanwhile males fantasise about polygamy. That's why porn exists.

It's no surprise that the original "tinder" was Grindr, a gay app. It's perfect for gay men. Tinder, on the other hand, doesn't change the game at all. If anything it concentrates even more attention on the top men as men swipe right on about 80% of women and women swipe left on 80% of men.
You can use pwabuilder and ship a "native" app to Apple Appstore.
> There is therefore a weird feedback loop between the supply and the demand, and scarcity alone is enough to create "value".

Yes. Temporarily. And a much less weird feedback loop is enough to annihilate all of this “value” at some later point in time (the “crash”).

> There's nothing magic about speculators that enable them to get higher prices.

> For example, the only reason a seller sells to a speculator is if the speculator offers to sell at a higher price than others.

Yeah, it's not magic.

If there was not speculator in the middle, buyer would look for another seller, who probably could have lower price. And that seller could sell at still higher price, because he doesn't have to pay speculator for finding him a buyer. A little more work for seller and buyer, but because speculator makes this work, doesn't negate "just extracting value from being in the middle".
Um, what? The requirement for probable cause or unreasonable suspicion is entirely on the judicial entity authorizing the action -- not the recipient of a warrant, however unfair or unreasonable it might be.

If you look at the history, and I think you are referring to iCloud data, Apple designed a way to protect existing iCloud data. From what has been published, Apple made a mistake in letting the US Government know in advance -- before the software was released.

Because Apple then did not continue and protect the data, the story was spun, by "the media", that Apple has somehow "collaborated" with allowing data collection. I don't think that is the true story.

If you look at every other new product or service that has been introduced even before and after the iCloud backup incident, privacy and not being able to obtain data is / was an inherent feature.

What I think most likely happened with iCloud data is that Apple was "coerced" into capitulation -- explicitly not collaboration. A threat was made, if you go forward with your plan, we will do this.

What was the threat? Something possible - Apple ships devices that depend on strong encryption. Strong encryption is still regulated by the US Commerce department -- a US Government agency.

Even the most recent event when OCSP checks failed -- the developer certificate ID check, Apple's response was to say that they stopped logging the IP addresses. This was also mis-represented, likely by folks that did / do not understand that OCSP requests are made via HTTP requests and almost every HTTP server, by default, logs the client IP address. You have to actively not log the addresses -- which is what Apple's apology statement said they changed.
Is there a term for this sort of fallacious argument? It's based on "either this person is a liar or what they're saying must be true". The third, not mentioned possibility, is that a person can fool themselves.

And if you're talking the scientific investigation of complex phenomena like language, fooling one's self is common. Indeed, unless a researcher is using tremendous care, their chance of at least partly fooling themselves is very high.

Scientific processes and checks and balances exist because of this. That Everett essentially ignored these and primarily argued his case in the press leads me being very dubious of him. But this still doesn't he's a "liar", that he believes what he claims is plausible but doesn't change anything else.
In the days when I can buy a weather station for $16 or get the weather in my phone for free, I don't think this should add much to the cost.

Carbon credits seems to be a possible solution.

Plantations all around the world that help produce more oxygen are capable of claiming carbon credits.

Example: A bamboo plantation releases upto 30% more oxygen than other plants. You sow it once, just needs sunlight and water, basic wasteland to grow. Ofcourse it grows faster when given drip irrigation, manure/fertilizers, etc. It keeps giving produce for the next 60 years without the interference.
Since China, India, vietnam already have already have a large forest cover of bamboo as well as agricultural plantations, they're in good position to connect mining operations to agriculture

Maybe A Startup that can:
- verify/track these types of plantations using advance monitoring setups.

- Give the farmers a Minimum Support Price for their cultivations and carbon credits.

- Become a platform between various stakeholders like crypto miners, farmers, organizations supporting the farmers, government, etc

- Sell those carbon credits on already exisiting markets or create their own exchange.

- Create crypto token in some form tied to these carbon credits if you want the hype

- Incentivize miners and farmers to join the platform to balance supply and demand.

- Sell this as a CSR opportunity

- Consumer demand for currency can be increased when consumer owns the plantation costs themselves(Maybe Owning the produce of the farm)
While farmers have lands, they necessarily don't have the capital to cultivate. So people who have capital can get engaged with them in a contract farming approach.

- Get everyone some crypto token

This gives the virtual world a chance to actually get connected to physical assets and people in a way that everyone stays invested.
It all depends on immersion and motivation, if you desperately need to learn a language you will work hard to get there. Immersion will expose your listening skill to recognize unique sounds in the target language. That is not to say it makes it easier for you to utter them, it just helps with the early comprehension. I met an Urdu speaking taxi driver who spoke English and Arabic as if he was a native speaker of both, after 6 months of merely listening to the radio in his car.

Seriously, the use cases for 96 hours of tracking are frightening.

Meet victim in club/bus/supermarket/wherever

I'm not an expert, but I don't think this is how stalking works in practice. People don't stalk random strangers they meet in the supermarket. They stalk former partners, and (more rarely) people they've developed an obsession about. That means the stalker has to worry about being recognized by the victim, and consequently will have fewer opportunities to plant a device and retrieve a device than you imagine.

Furthermore, while being tracked for up to 96 hours indeed is a frightening thought, the typical stalker's goal is to track their victim at all times. Having to plant and retrieve a device at least every four days, without being detected by the victim, makes for a very impractical way to achieve that goal.

Ask HN: Who is using WFH to work fewer hours?
The current Working From Home situation means that there is less control on whether someone is working or not at a given time, other than for meetings and chats.

While I try to keep my working hours at 40 per week (as my contract says), I have the feeling that some coworkers are using (or abusing maybe) the WFH to actually put in significantly fewer hours than the expected ones, while still getting all the salary, and has become their new norm.

What are people's experiences, both own and from their coworkers? For those putting fewer hours, how do you manage to go unnoticed?
The accidents are quoted per 'traveller mile' so an increase in capacity won't increase accidents. Any type of motorway is safer (in accidents per traveller mile) than other roads so if the increased capacity steals traffic from those rather than just increases the amount of journeys it would decrease the accidents.

UK motorways are some of the safest in the world - alcohol, phones and other distractions, tiredness, driving recklessly are probably more of an issue than smart motorways.
