Why is this not more widely deployed?

It's been around a while, is compliant with a bunch of regulations, is from perhaps the world's best software "stable", and doesn't require idiotic amounts of energy to compute.

Should we not not all run our own Taler servers?
That quoted statement is true and is especially true with regard to PRISM, which is the context. That PRISM isn't what Snowden claimed it was is my main point. Do you disagree with any of what I have said here?

Same here. I'm one of those people that try VSCode every few weeks because "it's free and it would be nice to have a more lightweight IDE for some stuff". But coming from IntelliJ it is really hard. It feels like a lot of convenience and stuff "that just works" is somehow there, but not working on the same level the "old" full fledged IDEs. You can notice the optimizations that gone into the auto complete features and similar. Tried Python, Go, Java and Kotlin in VSCode. Just couldn't compare. Granted. At least Java and Kotlin might not be languages that work well in non specialized IDEs.

I really loved the remote execution feature of VSCode. But in the end it resulted in me programming in IntelliJ and then copy and pasting the code over to VSCode...

For me it feels like the modern Eclipse. The one IDE/Editor which is basically a container for thousands of plugins. And it's great. Everyone uses it. There are a lot of plugins that cover every imaginable use case. Even more than e.g. IntelliJ or Visual Studio could cover (ok maybe not). But in the end it's just not as great as an IDE with most core features already build in and tuned against each other.

But then there are also people using unmodified vim installations for programming. So the expectations and ways of working really seem to differ a lot.
There is still a void, which various artists could fill these days. Sadly, if they did I don't think I would hear about them due to the volume of content on streaming platforms.

Japanese studio anime follows a formula that you might have noticed. This formula is still unnecessary to western audiences, which has learned to tolerate it. It includes characters with certain hair colors having certain behaviors and relationships to the protagonist, it includes a filler episode at a sauna.

Something like Cowboy Bebop would be a hit in the west, for the same reasons that The Expanse - which is not anime - is a hit. But Japanese studios gravitate towards portraying fantasies only relatable and comfortable to a socially awkward viewer, while Western studios don't invest heavily enough into what fans of the medium and anime art-style would like, and still target children.
Why even try to be "the best at a combination of things unique to you"?

It sounds like those headlines which try to shoehorn "the best in the world" followed by enough qualifier to make the statement true.

I think it's enough to recognize you can appreciate a skill at any level. Even when you completely suck at something you can still enjoy doing it.
Money is a unit of account.

You like to see human agency in the resolution of the crisis.

In my opinion that's not the case, all the interventions and the tinkering of the unit of accounts and messing with the plumbing of the money markets has a neutral effect.

Wallace Neutrality and Miller-Modigliani prove this mathematically.

You also have to take into account the extreme worry if not outright panic that people have when they see the Fed resort to these sort of hail mary interventions.

"If they need to do this...how bad must it be?"

This was a recurrent theme during the GFC, so there's empirical evidence to claim it's not even neutral but actually counterproductive

Correct and that doesn’t do anything.

Other cars with the camera enable such things as hands free driving. Tesla camera doesn’t do anything for you. Maybe send a pic of you screaming if you crash, but it’s not useful to you at that point.
I’ve never really had a need to lip read and never really looked into the techniques to learn how to do it, so this may be old hat. But one thing I found very interesting is that if you imagine (more active than that really, a projection that you ’hear’) sound coming from the person’s mouth, like a simple ‘aaaaaaaaaaaa’ then watch them speak you’ll start to hear utterances as they move their lips. In turn you can start to string those together contextually to kind of hear what they are saying.

This probably only works if you have typical hearing and works better if you know the persons voice, but it’s not absolutely necessary.
Thank you very much. I guess because I have not succeeded yet at some externalities in this lifetime the album isn't even properly distributed.. something to do with the cover and my procrastination at registering with SOCAN.. and my preoccupation with my music-coding project for several years. And lack of internet chops and social stuff and neuroatypicality perhaps.

But every once in a while I'll throw it on and be truly weirded out (in a weird/good[?] way). The album is kinda like getting your brain hit by a truck in space. In the future I would like to make stuff that is slightly less dense. And also more focused.

But ya I recorded, composed, produced, played most of the instruments on that piece and am hypothetically available for musical services. Of course peeps can use the wonders of the www and just get weirded out whenever, wow! For free! I guess that's why people like me get minimum wage jobs in kitchens!

Ya that album will always be a personal memento and all round strange banger. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Most of the stuff on my youtube honestly borderline sucks. Different phase of idea.. more improv and raw.. but there's like 2 or 3 good ones. Then I quit youtubing like 6 months ago cause I had to go frame houses to pay my rent which put my hand out of commission for a while. If you like Lotus Helix maybe check out a more solo-project one I did last year on the youtube.

It's about where I was born, outside among trees and stuff. I was actually born in the middle of a place called Riverdale.. but not like the tv show but the real one by the river. The tune is called Edrihan - The Riverdalian. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-XZx1DUGhM
> If you encrypt the prior passwords using a key derived from the current password,

How can you do that with a prior password if you didn’t store it as plaintext when it was current? You can’t encrypt something you don’t have. Unless you are encrypting the old hash, not the password.
Ironically, people hated the contribution graph stats because it gamified code contributions, and now we're introducing "achievements".

This is kind of neat as a one-off, but it seems like it'll get weird with scale. Isn't it disappointing if your code is on the rover but you don't get a badge because your code isn't on the helicopter?

This looks like a square knot with loops- which is exactly how I tie mine
The claims about the 2016 election being stolen had no more factual basis than the claims about the 2020 election. Amazingly, there was even a supposed proof that the 2016 election was stolen circulating where, if you understood why the supposed election theft couldn't have worked as advertised, it was really obvious that the author knew this too and was pushing a narrative he knew was bullshit. The real difference is that the mainstream press and big tech supports the party that won in 2020 but opposes the one that won in 2016, so the idea of election theft was lent credibility by them for one and discredited for the other in ways completely unfounded in actual evidence.
No. "reef knot" is a sailor's term. "square knot" is actually an overhand knot tied in the end of a line. "reef knot" (properly a "bend"), is the knot used to reef sails. The common shoe-lace bow is a "double bow reef knot" or "double slippery reef knot".

Reef, bowline, and figure-eight are the three knots you must be able to tie behind your back to pass a basic sailing class.

If I could make this work for myself, I would. But "interesting work" often arises out of interactions with others and it's not like there's always a pile of interesting work just waiting for someone who wants it. I'm afraid that it's just not this simple most of the time.
This such an achievement for open source developers whose software has made significant impact.

There is nothing unique about 5G that 4G connected cities or wifi connected cities or LoraWAN connected cities don't already do, or can't already do.

The only rebuttal - even after skimming this article - is that 5G infrastructure will theoretically make it easier to connect to more devices more reliably. But that's not going to stop with 5G protocols, as this protocol isn't even perfect for the expected number of devices that will need to be connected over time.
Without addressing the benefits of using base-12, the supposedly simplifying arithmetic example is atrociously awful:

>The clerks then described a typical problem, getting the cubic content of a package measuring 2'6" x 3'6" x 4'2"

Duodecimals (or any positional system) are a bad representation of these numbers. The author proceeds with a very tedious computation of 2,6 x 3,6 in base 12.

Instead, you can do it all in your head:

2'6" x 3'6" x 4'2"
= (5/2)" x (7/2) " x (4 1/6)"
= 35 x (1 1/24) ft^3
= 35 + 35/24 ft^3
= 36 11/24 ft^3

There is more to say for the "duodecimal" musical notation, where each note lives on its own line (abolishing the sharps and flats).

This notation is called the piano roll, as it was already in use in mechanical player pianos. It's not great for writing with a pencil, but excellent for screens and editing - which is why most producers would go straight to the piano roll.

It's not, however, connected to base-12 in any way.

Seems somewhat related to the sunk cost fallacy, although not exactly the same. But like the author says, it's irrelevant what you did or didn't do in the past, or where you could have been now if you'd acted differently. Except in as much as you can learn from your past behaviours and try to encourage the ones you find increase your satisfaction and control the ones that do the opposite. But there's no point at all in worrying about what you did or didn't do in the past, since all you can control is the future!

The moment I read "As a Java developer, you may be wondering if we're trying to turn numbers into objects (we are not)" without an explanation of what we _were_ trying to do, I came to the comments to see whether it was worth persevering.

Is there a common name - ideally (since I love them) an eponymous law? - for the precept that, when writing, you shouldn't introduce a question in your reader's mind without at least _acknowledging_ it? Ideally, of course, it should be answered immediately, but sometimes that's impractical. To prevent your reader from having too many "open loops" in their brain, though (shout out to [GTD](https://gettingthingsdone.com/)), if the answer isn't essential to what follows (which is not the case here), you should at least reassure the reader that they don't need to know the answer to that question yet.

I had a weird problem with the outage. My iphone was working off wireless at home and the McDonald's app notified me of a deal. I went to McDonald's and unfortunately, I couldn't get the Q-code there. Even the wifi was down. So I ended up paying full price for a meal, "lost" about $4. I imagine that all the food delivery drivers were out of luck as well.
Plane autopilot being one of them. For a long time, it would just level the plane off and keep it on track. It didn't fly itself from point to point, didn't land/pull off.
You don't need to know how something was built in order to critique the experience of using it.

A non designer is not going to be good at identifying solutions to problems because that does require knowledge about how the sausage is made, but they should certainly be listened to when identifying problems. Not doing so would be madness.

(Not to mention a lot of the commenters on here that you're decrying as "non designers" probably do have experience with design, considering the userbase of HN)
The people who plan on wearing masks forever
I feel you've misunderstood his point. The stuff you (or anyone) perhaps doesn't like is stuff that someone else LOVES. I absolutely love writing docs and tests and fixing bugs, and would be willing to get paid less to work on public code that allowed me to spend what I consider the right amount of time tending to those things :)

Putting this call-for-employers out there signals (at least to me) that he can be a a really good deal if the employer takes it to task to find his complement, instead of creating a scenario where the employer gets to delegate it all wholesale to one person, regardless of their goals for growth and enjoyment. It's upstreaming the concern, and just getting to work on the things he loves at a pay cut for the inconvenience of matchmaking

And some of those are badly misrepresented.

Gates didn't drop out of college because he smoked too much pot, or was too lazy. He was getting excellent grades and his teachers were very impressed. It was because he already had a business going, and wanted to concentrate on that.

Plus, as a business owner nobody was going to require him to have a degree, so it didn't really matter so long he had the skills he needed for his business.

Also, his parents were rich and supportive, and no doubt would have supported him if he had failed. He'd have no trouble getting back to Harvard had the business not worked out.

That's a very different kind of "dropout" than most.
Curious about which country OP is in and which payment method was used.

I'm in Australia, and find when I pay by credit card, this same thing happens to me where I get ads for medicines related to precription medicine I've just purchased.

When I use cash however, I don't get the ads, so my best bet is that it's the credit card that's used to match the purchase to me in this scenario.
Another reply mentioned the Covid-19 vaccines; not quite a survival-of-the-species level problem, but serious nonetheless.

I could imagine scenarios where civilization depended on our ability to create energy or grow food on a scale that required ramping up fission or fusion reactors really fast. For instance, an asteroid or volcanic eruption blocks out the sun and we need to figure out how to keep our cities from starving.

Another technological approach to avert starvation in the same sort of ecosystem collapse scenario is to develop and implement human hibernation, like the cryo-sleep pods from science fiction movies. Thus we drastically reduce the calorie needs of the average person, so that a much smaller population can try to work out the problems and get the world back into a state where it can support a larger population. (There was a movie called Downsizing that was about that kind of solution, except that in the movie they literally shrank people so that their demands on the ecosystem are dramatically reduced, and cost of living is almost nothing.)
I have actually seen a linter complain about “mastercard” in a JSON commit. In payment processing, we don’t get to change that.
Yeah, that's weird.

The rest?

Industry and Agricultural. we waste a TON to evaporation via all the irrigation we do, we need to mandate hydroponics and moving to vertical farms/etc to make water more productive.

Yet the government focuses only on that 2% because if we're busy shaming each other we're not going to aim the pitch forks at the mines, factories, farms, etc that are the real culprits.

Well, I would say that if you want to accuse them of misconduct then the main thing would be to ascertain intentions. Certainly, if there is no bad intention on the part of the actor, then it makes no sense to accuse them of misconduct. So if you want to accuse them of misconduct, definitely, yes, you need to ask questions about their intent.

On the other hand, regardless of intent, it does still make sense to say that the system is maladjusted, that the system is designed in such a way that even actors with good intentions are incentivized to do harmful things. And the question regarding the system really is clear: Does a recipient accepting money from an advertiser tend to create in them a more positive opinion regarding the advertiser than if the recipient received no money at all? To that, the answer is yes. It doesn't mean the recipient has committed "misconduct"; more likely it's just that the recipient is a well-intentioned actor in a maladjusted system.
