Presumably the argument is that a storage host might dutifully provide proofs of storage, but refuse to actually transfer your data to you later. This is true, but it's also true of centralized storage providers. The difference is that traditional providers are typically bound by SLAs -- something that a blockchain can't really offer.

Instead, decentralized storage gives you the ability to store your data with dozens of independent entities; as long as the behavior of these entities is sufficiently uncorrelated, then it is highly likely that you will always be able to retrieve your data from some subset of them.
According to [1], its:

A) company comes here and pays $0 in tax. and city "took on hundreds of millions in debt that was supposed to be repaid by property taxes".

B) company doesn’t come here and net taxes are still $0. city doesnt take on more debt.

B looks better.

> It's already been mentioned that some of the money has been taxed once already, when the corporation pays taxes on profits before they're paid out as dividends.

I never understood "double taxation" arguments. Currency circulates, of course a given dollar will get taxed more than once as it moves around the economy.

You can laugh all you want, but killing fewer innocent people is in fact a good thing. If you can't see the value in that, then politics is not for you :)

I think we should celebrate that kind of incremental progress so long as it's not progress towards some kind of inescapable local minimum. And even in that case, it just becomes more complicated, not obviously wrong either.
It's unethical to hire people who align with your (and your company's) values?
Flipping houses usually means buying a house -> making improvements to the house -> selling it for a profit. I wouldn't call that "speculation".

Speculation in this case could just be buying a house and trying to sell it for a profit later without improving the property.

Took a quick glance and noticed that this article is claiming "duck.com" is owned by Google, even though it redirects to DuckDuckGo.

That domain has Namecheap's Whois Guard enabled, so there's no registrant information. However, I'm still inclined to think that it isn't Google's domain since the NS records for "duck.com" point to "nsXX.quack-dns.com"...
You do really find all the old HN threads. Kudos, it's always interesting to read comments there.
Planting the Seeds of a Distributed Nuclear Revolution (2018)
A quick look over their docs, and I think this is a terrific product that needs a better landing page. They make it easy to build a custom task with a UI builder, and more importantly, they also automatically exposes programmatic means of adding tasks and receiving task completion data. This makes “do things that don’t scale” somewhat more scalable. Looking forward to trying it out!

Everyone has a moral high-ground that isn't debatable.

The right does this as well for it's issues such as abortion.

Left or Right, everyone thinks there is some moral high ground that's not debatable. Everyone has some line that they don't think should be crossed.
Except most people in America don't pay capital gains taxes on their retirement savings anyway.

401ks and IRAs are free from capital gains taxes. Anyone can save enough money in those vehicles for retirement unless they start saving really late in life. For those who start saving late, most of their wealth will be in basis anyway.

Don't even need to dual boot. M1 Macs run iPad OS and iOS apps along side macOS apps today.

A little bit of polish with Mission Control would make switching between "iPad OS" and "macOS" modes fairly intuitive for some automation of say, adding a keyboard/trackpad to trigger full blown macOS mode and removing them triggering back to a Mission Control workspace that restores native iPad Pro look/fee.

I don't think it would be much of a heavy lift, and from an overall user experience perspective not as fiddly or confusing as some obnoxious UI changes they made from the transition from iTunes to Apple Music, for example :p

I can confidently predict that both Go and Rust will be seen as the "old brown stuff" in not so many years and some hot new thing will have come along that everyone wants to build in.

Rust's main claim to fame - safe manual memory - is already being re-examined. There is definitely interest in and pursuit of a lower-boilerplate means of getting the same, and there are some candidates out there already.

Further, a language being successfully used by experts and popularized tends to precede an accumulation of low quality contributions that negate base improvements to maintenance. In due course, a popular Rust will become "enterprised" with an accretion of tooling and frameworks - although it might not look the same as "enterprise Java", it will have the same kinds of effects in creating barriers to entry and sucking the sense of "fun" out of the day-to-day workflow.

Lastly, the application categories will change. There will be demand for "glue" again, applications that are just frontends to library code(perhaps code written in Go or Rust). The new language will be something not systems-focused, and perhaps aim to be mostly focused on content and presentation (as HTML was in inception).
My biggest issue with all the "Tax the Wealthy" stuff... we have 5 Trillion to work with... how much more do they need? What will they possibly spend it on given we already spend more than other countries on pretty much everything.

Giving our current leaders more money to spend is just wasteful.
You can exclude 250k / 500k for single / married folks. It's quite generous.
Don't forget the truncation problem with YAML/TOML. A partially read/transmitted YAML/TOML file is often still considered valid.
Not to mention that the fed is now aiming for 2+% inflation (and let's be real, it's going to be higher), so cashing out even after a 10-year breakeven investment that earned nothing is going to cost you over 10% on withdrawl.
I agree, ownership is an important idea on its own. So I wish more mainstream gc languages would expose some kind of optional ownership idea. Such as ability to "give" a collection to another collection contructor, which then would not have to do a boilerplatey/inefficient "safe-copy" in the contructor. Maybe that opens a can of worms and can't be easily retrofitted into existing languages, I don't know, but I'd like to see it tried.
The fact is if someone wants to run a Linux host for 10 years with security patches they can with Ubuntu. They cannot with CentOS Stream. Yes, they could switch to RHEL and pay for security patches but RHEL is a different OS than CentOS Stream.

You mean 'when'. There's no going back at this point.
You could just name the vehicle with a nickname and also have the color, make, and model. I figure most people don't even know their license plate number from memory.

The app could let you "lookup" an existing entry from the license plate since it would then just be checking if the entered plate value matches one of the existing hash values.

I guess the part that would be weird is if your license plate # changed but you kept the same vehicle. e.g kid driver their 'parents' car but one year registers it under their own name.
When tools like this use terms like "legacy languages", and don't show that C is supported unless you click "More Languages", it makes me feel old. :)

Still, it seems rather cool, I like the idea of being able to search code at a higher level than just raw source text.
Selling a $1M home doesn't mean you have $1M in income, so I think in general it wouldn't impact the real estate market except perhaps at the much higher end - maybe $5M or higher.

Our housing market would probably be more sane if developers had more pressure to focus on building units in the middle to low end of the market anyway in California.
I don't think he gives a shit....
I heard another interesting thought experiment on this topic recently. It said there should be a referendum about whether to keep (or adopt) the death penalty, but the names of everyone who voted for allowing the death penalty would be recorded in a list.

Then, whenever someone sentenced to death was later found to be innocent (or pardoned), a random name on the list of "Yes" voters would be picked to be killed in place of the innocent convict.
If the email mentioned particular students by name then that in and of itself is a violation (at least in California). We're absolutely not supposed to share any student performance information with anyone other than the student, without permission.

I believe the “real reason” to end the death penalty is that it’s so much more expensive the alternative [1]. If it doesn’t deter crime, and doesn’t save money, there’s really no point.

> the great writers were those whos portraits we had on the wall in literature class

It's completely up to the authorities to define great writers?
I'm from New Zealand, but work in Europe. Recently I started working remotely for an American firm part-time. Those few hours I work for the Americans equates to about 3x the amount of stress from my EU job but with absolutely no protection (at-will clauses). There is such a palpable difference in culture, management style that I am fairly certain I would never work for an American firm again.
listen, I agree with you on a certain level. I hate news reports and docs where they try to jerk my emotions with sad music and sob stories

but this is not that. this is a presumably real person telling a story that’s very sensitive to them. they’re not trying to trick you, or manipulate you. they’re just giving an example of how they were treated by the daily mail

you’re acting like a petulant autistic child

everyone - including you - uses emotional reasoning. you will learn this at some point. even if you don’t want people to be emotional, they are. the human world is emotional, and trying to navigate it while being a dick to anyone who shows emotions will serve you extremely poorly

finally your rude tone betrays your hypocrisy. you’re emotionally involved in this, and you’re not acting rationally because of it
iirc this was originally owned by Google and then given to DDG.
1. PhDs don’t “do exams”. You can’t cheat your way to publishing original research (exceptions of course) and have external expert researchers review it and accepted on a reputable journal. Given that that’s a requisite for obtaining your degree, there’s no point on a final exam. Most defenses nowadays are partly ceremonial (exceptions of course). Both the material and your ability to do research has been checked months before by your advisors and graduation committee.

2. Master’s degree courses follow all kinds of schemas for examination. From oral exams, to in person no extra material allowed, to open book, and take home. Being on both sides (taking the exams and creating them) I can say that it really doesn’t matter if you allow people to take the exam home and collaborate among each other. These types of exams are designed to really test a deep understanding and ability of the material. There have been exam questions where an entire class of >20 students are not able to solve it. People that are really good are able to have a shot at it and maybe make some progress, and that differentiates the good from the exceptional.

3. Nowadays undergraduate degrees are a commodity so it feels they need to make sure only the good students get one. But in the end it doesn’t really matter, since most employers (exceptions of course) will want to see how much value the candidate add, which does not correlate with having a degree or good grades
I also started consulting and moved to product and I agree with what you say, but one difference is that in product you can usually negotiate a higher salary (although you'll feel more uncertain about it) since you're not capped by any consulting rate.

Essentially your salary is investment for the company, not cost.
If you're a fan, that's fair, and I hope the side effects work out for you the way you hope.
There just isn’t incentive for most people in jobs to take a sick day. Deadlines don’t get moved if you take 2 sick days. Meeting rescheduling is a pain, etc. There’s just not incentive alignment.
I'd be careful with how much of a warm fuzzy the tool gives you. See this example from my other comment in the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26905880 If it were really looking at AST level data, that wouldn't have fooled it.

I suspect there would be similar issues with your example of ensuring no use of eval() in PHP. So it seems okay to keep your own developers informed, but I wouldn't use it, alone, to vet outside code. PHP has eval-like functionality buried in preg_replace(), assert(), and probably other places. This tool also doesn't seem to dig into namespaced "aliases".

I was caught off guard by this! It just always felt like simplex noise was just perlin v2 and I never thought twice about the legal status of it. The 2022-01-08 Anticipated expiration is definitely something to look forward to here, especially since the current owner (an investment firm) appears to have >100 ongoing patent litigation cases, with patents as vague as network load balancing.

Reading the patent itself, there's definitely some weirdness to it, like how specific it is about application to texturing. I believe heightmaps would be acceptable (IANAL).

In slightly unrelated news, a bunch of Microsoft patents on fonts expired last October.

For a Raspberry Pi 4B, the USB-C port does not support displays, only power and USB 2.0 data. The other pins are not connected to anything.

Without extra hardware, you can only connect displays to the two microHDMI ports.
I don't support the death penalty because as has been mentioned the justice system is unreliable.

But I can understand why some people do when we see so many violent offenders released only to reoffend.

If people are going to have faith in the justice system then a whole life tariff needs to be a reasonable possibility - the USA actually isn't so bad for this but over here in Europe we have far shorter sentences.
It's not a huge assumption at all. Lots of us already have access to this data from our analytics.
> Is there modern tooling around Ruby 3 to bundle apps statically, have some intellisense like rust-analyzer, code formatters like rustfmt/gofmt?

Well, no. But, it IS improving. Working on Ruby with something like Rubymine in 2021 is not the same as doing it in 2010, and it will keep getting better (Ruby 3 is also adding a kind of optional types btw). But of course it will never reach the level of a compiled language.
Oh it's terrible. More educational. You'd never ever want to do a full-scan cosine matching in production. Use locality sensitive hashing (with optimizations like amplification, SuperBit or DenseFly) for real world workloads.

yes you are make very good points. we are doing better if we make consumption and land value taxes our majority for federal. then try maybe different models at state level, make states fund their own things once more. we try fifty different models, we find the best and use it, then we try new ones on that basis and find better again. one federal model is create the unintended consecuence for each state in nation, state model is damage only one. let us play once more to strengths of federal models.

Yes, I was thinking to myself that 'sushi-grade salmon' was an oxymoron.
Do you think there's anything J&J or the government could do to assuage this particular fear in the short-term?
My girlfriend and I have both spent years working in Sushi restaurants, and judging by those pictures alone, this "salmon" falls short of our fat requirement. I.e., it's kind of lean looking. We'd try it even at the high price point, but only if they come up with a fatty "salmon belly" edition.

The migraines is due to several factors, example:

1. Your brain recreates the 3D environment from physical objects and is "trained" to certain distances and movement, etc. When you use 3D glasses, either movie or VR, the "stereo" effects are anything but natural. There's a lot of stuff flying around at "non-natural" distances, especially near you. The effects are exagerated otherwise at some point you will "stop noticing it's 3d unless you pay attention". The exagerations are compensated by your brain and also causes eyestrain. Look at a pen, closer, closer, at some point you see 2 pens, now do that back and forth for 30 minutes, You will have the same pain.

2. Perceived movement vs. internal ear and balancing your body. VR is awesome at screwing everything up. I love VR but can't stand it for a long period because of that. Your brain expect you falling, or this thing comming at you to hit, you walking should have some motor feedback, driving too. Nope. No G's, no wind, no nothing. To put it in simple terms... brain tilts

you can look up a lot of stuff about this on the internet with VR sickness, motion or 3D sickness... lots of articles, i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality_sickness

I had problems playing Quake on a 2D screen. It went out with intense exposure. I would do 30 minutes, get sick, start the next day, eventually I've managed to pull out 12 hours in a row. Life was fun and simple back then ;). I don't have that luxury anymore for VR but I'm sure it would be the same process to desensitise through gradual increased exposure.

Mind to elaborate what kind of loopholes you’re talking about?
the cool thing with noria is that it behave like a cache.

So it only store the row from the materialized view that are frequently needed instead of storing the complete materialized view.

But if you query for a row which is missing it will rematerialize this row on demand with "up-query" without having to run the expensive query that a materialized view refresh normally need.
I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen complete democratization of linting/grepping/refactoring tools. Imagine being able to script a one-off refactor you want to make that's too project-specific to be included in the IDE itself.

Writing the parser is nontrivial, but once you have it it should be straightforward to expose a programmatic API for doing this stuff instead of trying to hardcode every useful linter rule into a single program.
We seem to manage these using Terraform without problems, have you looked into that?

The nutrients would be typically provided through diet. Indeed a lab could just amend the meat like they feed cows particular B vitamins. But those inputs have costs.

This is all just theoretical. Once a nutrient profile is published we can talk more seriously.
