Ethereum has 8 distinct active layer 2 technologies including things analogous to lightning network, as they are permissionless to build and deploy there.

Turns out nobody likes watchtowers which lightning style solutions require, the market is not choosing that

Bitcoin does not represent choice, it represents throwing all eggs in one basket and defending that with no competition (lightning). More like a state capital system.
This is true, but it is counter HN-think (for now, maybe after a decade the hindsight will be illuminating) :)
It lowers the price of bitcoin and the price ties pretty closely with the number of miners.
People do it here in Ireland, but it has no legal force (others in this thread said it does in their country), and can't say it's made any noticeable difference.
> Musk smartly decided he did not want to risk his half a trillion dollar company on random bitcoin fluctuations.

It's not going to matter. If Bitcoin is going down persistently it means we're on the back side of this global asset mania (which the commodity bubble may be signaling, that we're in or close to the 9th inning), and Tesla's stock is going with it under all scenarios. $900 to $589 is already telling an obvious story.

Granted it's not just Tesla's bubble that is well over, the cloud bubble has ended as well (just wait until you see how low eg Snowflake goes, top to bottom).

Amusingly, Bitcoin is likely to hold its value better than Tesla, in the case of the asset bubbles giving out. The market will look to value Tesla a bit closer to fundamentals (already happening), which is another 70-90% down for Tesla. At some point Tesla will be valued based on cashflow, profit production, and they'll never be able to support a $500b valuation; whereas Bitcoin can support something like a trillion dollar valuation globally (even if it takes more time to hold that ground persistently).

I can't wait to go value hunting in the cloud again, as in March of 2020. Tesla won't be on that shopping list.
The problem is that the ability to create that functionality - a robust video editor, let alone the sophisticated image processing- is poorly suited to the device itself. Art is intrinsically valuable, and I love shooting on my camera and my phone. But it doesn't really translate into a level of literacy with desktop systems to create whatever the next generation of computing might be.
Stellar (XLM) claims to be able to handle 4000tps, if I remember correctly?
Yes, but you can make the same argument about anything. Why not methanol. Why not battery swapping.

The question is how expensive is the initial investment and how expensive are the operating cost.

Hydrogen trucks will be more expensive, the fuel is more expensive and the operation is more expensive.

> What are the odds batteries hit a wall before they're viable in heavy trucks? I dunno but certainly not zero.

0% as current batteries can already cover the majority of the current heavy trucking market.
The sparse array is likely to be a protobuf. I ran into this issue with Firefox when working on Google Inbox, it was one of the reasons why the Firefox version was delayed, but there was degenerate performance with sparse arrays. (I'll note, various conspiracy theories on HN thought it was a deliberate attempt to hamper FF, when in reality, is was an unintended consequence of usage of an old protobuf format which never caused a problem until protobufs with huge extension fields were used in a specific way in the codebase, so the problem was discovered late)

protobufs can be stored in array format. In that format, each field number is basically it's index in the array. Extension fields in protobufs typically grab high numbered slots. So if you have a prototype with 1 field (id = 1), and one extension field (e.g. id = 10000000), you now have an array with [undefined, stuff, ... 999999 ..., stuff] and various array operators seem to reify this into a real array in older versions.
Stable currencies may move a few basis points from day to day. BTC can move hundreds or thousands of basis points.

GDB has had reverse debugging since 2009 and there are other tools like rr and a few commercial ones. If anything I'd say that you calling it time travel debugging instead of reverse debugging demonstrates how insular the windows developer world is more than the windows platform being ignored.

If you have a $200 monitor then it probably struggles to make proper use of 8-bit formats. I have a display that claims to simulate DICOM but it's not enough I want more. However I'm not willing to spend $3000 on a display which doesn't have engineering specs and then send it back because it doesn't work. I don't care about resolution. I care about being able to see the unseen. I care about edge cases like yellow and blue making pink. That was the first significant finding Maxwell reported on when he invented RGB. However nearly every monitor ever made mixes those two colors wrong, as gray, due to subpixel layout issues. Nearly every scaling algorithm mixes those two colors wrong too, due to the way sRGB was designed. It's amazing how poorly color is modeled on personal computers. https://justine.lol/maxwell.png
Seeing websites as just being a tool to get you to the thing “that does matter” is a shame. There’s a place for that for sure, but that’s all the modern web is now. I miss the time when the site itself was an expression of the person who made it.

Here's my favorite review from Goodreads 2016:

"Pretentious, pseudo-intellectual misogynist pontificates about his theories on tech business, society, and capitalism while sneering at every other human with Olympian contempt and making unacceptable sexist comments about women for about 500 pages."
That's completely brilliant, actually. I always love solutions non-tech people come up with like this.
Okay, if anyone else after reading Accessibility needs to be implemented from scratch felt ashamed, raise your hands with me.

The recent twitter hack exposed that certain topics could be boosted or hidden by low-level employees. No need for manual curation.
The claim was that someone would be not just very slow but completely incapable of completing a task even given an arbitrary amount of time. That would mean there’s some kind of fundamental difference between the two people, which is just a ridiculous claim. What one person can accomplish in three years can almost certainly be accomplished by another in ten provided they are in the same profession and competent.

Yeah, git is really not a mature or well-designed VCS. The fact that you can trivially lose the supposed permanent reference -- and that it's encouraged as part of several common workflows at that -- should be more than enough to demonstrate this. If you care about history, use a VCS like Fossil.

If you treat these things like nuclear weapons they won't be very useful. Securing those bombs is enormously costly. You can't do the same for thousands or more of such reactors deployed for decades, all over the world, under civilian control.

Given that even the US Military doesn't have infinite resources, how can you guarantee there will be a fast response, or any response at all, or even that anyone will notice 20 years after deployment if someone with the resources of a nation state tries to get at that Pu? There might be wars where that reactor is deployed, there might be natural disasters, people might switch to 100% renewables and lose interest in the reactor, ...
Maybe they'd be less exhausted if they focused on doing their job instead of complaining about men. People with some level of capability aren't the ones worried about being considered weak or useless and whining in public about how they are exhausted as if twitter was some kind of personal pity party.

This should be stamped out and severely penalised. I'd even go as far as banning such company from operating in the country until they close entire tax avoidance network.
If you wanted to create a local Uber clone, you just won't be able to compete because from the start you'll have to pay probably order of magnitude more tax than a big corporation.
Then less competition means less innovation, consumers are worse off and capital is drained off the country.
Another problem is that in many western countries anti corruption bodies just drain the tax payer and do nothing.
I can see plenty of examples of blatant corruption, but I have not heard of anyone being charged let alone if there was any investigation going on.
Burst loads are the wrong number too. You still want to average over many households, but not average over wide swaths of time. Maybe you need to design for a peak of 75% of AC units plus 15% of ovens plus 20% of fridges being on simultaneously.
You can do that without implants and just an eeg headset. I am still not sure why people think it’s a great idea to put things in the brain for non life threatening reasons

I said "properly decentralized". Proof-of-stake isn't strong enough.
No, at least not for long periods of time, and I would assume needing lots of screens means using them a lot as well. I have a Vive and a Rift, and playing games for an hour or two is no comparison to working and reading on screen for the same amount of time.

That said, I'm hoping for this tech to evolve quickly. I think a lighter headset is a must, and also with few points of contact on the head, maybe a two-piece wearable.
Why is #1 a concern? If your BTC appreciated vs USD while you held it, then you'll owe tax on it. If it declined, then you can claim a loss to offset other gains. It's just paperwork. I would imagine that any BTC wallet services worth their salt will be able to spit out an automatic 1099 at the end of the year that can be imported into your tax software.

For #2, I can't see companies offering to pay employees in BTC - it opens them up to too much legal risk.
Yeah the fed’s record as far as making accurate predictions goes is pretty laughable. But they continue to confidently make all sorts of statements about what’s going to happen.

If economics was a science, someone would at some point ask why no two economists ever agree, and why they continue to be completely unable to use their models to make accurate predictions. Like, if their models mean anything at all, they should have at least been able to see major speculative bubbles like 2008. I mean the fact that housing was hugely overpriced at that moment should have been entered into their data somewhere as a basic fact about the economy.

It’s like watching a blind person claim to have the best vision in the world as they walk right into a wall. Consulting punxsutawney phil would be more accurate.

What’s really stunning is that these witless mountebanks appear to be completely unaware of how devastatingly wrong they consistently are.
Many years ago a big tech company opened a new office in my city and started recruiting developers at my university. They wanted to be fair and treat both sexes equally so they decided on male/female parity (at least 30% women). But on my year (computer science) there were just 3 gals vs 30 guys, but there were groups with even worse ratio. So the company hired all female students they could and then started looking outside. Even hired some girls from biology (qualifications weren't that important) because they had to fill in female positions, so then they could give offers to male programmers. Felt pretty bad, this was certainly one of such programs you mentioned

Scale and expansion plans only became available on recent S4 filing. That’s new info. Tesla probably doesn’t want to contribute to the trend and hence the change of heart.
What's the difference? Legality? If so, I'm not sure anybody really cares about whether it's legal (in an intellectual sense). People are much more interested in morality and whether a system is working well for society.
So as the dusk settles -- this whole BTC and DOGE drama was intended as an indirect lesson to not short TSLA and keep their stock in range where it is completely removed from fundamentals for just a little bit longer?
>What scaling technologies do they have? The ones I'm aware of are

Not Eth, but you're missing one option - tree graph based. They've pushed 3000+ TPS through it already in testnets...and that's on layer 1. High level description:

https://confluxnetwork.medium.com/tree-graph-structure-of-co...

Indeed - that could work. I do think Eth has the edge though. Throughput only matters if you have an eco-system that needs it ultimately.

Does it make sense to distinguish between cattle- and bizniz-class in the context of hypothetical hypes like Starship?

With hypothetical hype I mean the assumption this will be used for ballistic pax transport.

What would be the differentiator, if the ballistics dictate a full seat/couch anyways? The cattle in a mesh net, the bizniks in full divan? Would it make sense when any conceivable trip would be three hours max? Not to mention constraints mandated by entities like FAA for ... I don't know ... spatial arrangement regarding speed of evacuation to the emergency chutes, whatever?

edit: Thinking about it, would they even bother? Or would it rather be something like one seat fits all, after the applicants have sworn their fealty to their elonzniak overlord by opting into NetJets style access card? Similar to how Starlink is 99 universal credits everywhere?
Maybe I'm being overly negative and conspiratorial, but with all the stuff Elon Musk has done around Dogecoin and the amount of effort he has put into pumping it up makes me wonder if this was some kind of ploy to devalue Bitcoin.

I also wonder if sometime in the next 6-12 months we'll hear that Tesla is looking to accept Dogecoin due to it being more environmentally responsible (I don't know if that is actually the case, but who knows what changes will happen in 6-12 months).

Note that implementing Deref/DerefMut to mimic OOP is considered a bad practice. They were originally meant solely for smart pointer types, although some have opinions™ about that. Either way, you may need to reshape the way you think about program design coming from OOP languages - I know you've probably heard that before, but its true :) There are usually better options. Learning from FP pattern helps, as Rust leans more towards FP than OO in my opinion, although it has elements of both. Separating data and implementation (behavior) at the syntax level is one instance of that design decision showing through, no inheritance is another.

If by a small fraction you mean 20, 30% or more (and higher if your home appreciated a lot since you bought it), then yeah, sure.

My taxes are about 25-30% of my mortgage payment (after a massive residential exemption, too), and if you have a slightly more expensive than average home in a low cost area (so things like school taxes will be higher to raise a similar amount of money per child), it can get reaaaaally expensive.
I think there tends to be some confusion in this aspect of piano study. Of course people are going to make mistakes when learning. The trick is to note them, fix them, and then practice the correct version. Don't spend any time practising errors. At least that's how I think of it. A great book on the subject is "The Perfect Wrong Note: Learning to Trust Your Musical Self" by William Westney. He believes worrying too much about being flawless on the initial playing causes anxiety in students. Being ok with errors helps people relax and makes them less likely to give up.
> What in modern society (or even this website) makes you think it's only 40 hours?

Rush hour times makes it pretty obvious. Another thing is I've worked as both employer and employee. People leave after 8 hours.

Your 40 hour employee contract says 40 hours, literally. Why are you able to stand up for yourself as a contractor (who can be shown the door any second) but not as an employee?

> in an At Will state that can literally get you fired on the spot

Only if they are looking for an excuse to get rid of you anyway. And contractors are easy to fire on the spot, there are no legal restrictions on that.

Also, if you're a contractor, you spend a lot of time looking for contracts. 24/7.

Money supply goes up, velocity goes waaay down. Net inflation impact.. nearly zero. This inflation appears to be a combination of the US economy seeking a post-COVID equilibrium and the impact of stimulus spending.

Completely agree. At my current job I spent a lot of time in improving the developer tooling - step through debugging, live REPL, tracing, waterfalls, profiling, memory dumps. People are still not willing to spend the time to learn them and improve their workflows unless literally forced to do so.

The prevalent attitude is simply laziness manifested as "why do I need all these fancy tools when print('I am here!') works just fine?"
