Hi, NSA rep here: All of us were disappointed you stayed in that job after writing that. You really could have done better.

And a few other things:

1) The front left tire on your car is about 6 psi too low

2) Not to worry you but we really think you should get your heart looked at: our listening devices heard something a bit irregular

3) the math homework you lost that time in 3rd grade was actually stolen by the kid sitting next to you who turned it in as his own. He got a gold star on it. But he's also now a janitor, so karma came through on that (usually it doesn't: the wicked go unpunished, speaking from our own experience on that)

Oh, and as a one-time freebie, next time you lose your keys just pickup any phone or speak into any smart home device, say your SS# and "keys please" and we'll let you know where they are.
It uses that for its build configuration, not for build steps, as far as I know.
At least a tax cut lets me use my money in something useful for me. My taxes that have went to CAHSR have nothing useful to show for them. (I don't live in CA, so that is effectively zero, but the point stands) IF CAHSR would be completed it would develop economic growth. The consultants who have made money to date are not growth, they are a zero sum game where they could have been doing something else.
Yes, and the line to Fresno is going to keep going to Los Angeles if they finish building it.
Why is it that the demo search on the right gives a different result if I delete the word "cake" and type it again?
nobody ever said the end goal was to flatten the curve. like everything else, we are playing it by ear, to suggest we had plans to do otherwise is just writing your own history
Absolutely agree with this. I find 1x1s with my directs a useful time to focus on communicating intent and mentoring, as well as hearing about the frustrations / other bits and pieces one might not casually hear about.

Sure, some of them can be a bit dull, not every week is exciting, but my experience is the same -- they can be tiring if done well, but very rewarding.
Well, you've recorded the cash transactions in a public ledger, so it may be more enforceable than one thinks.
> After some rushed-through recent changes, it appears that things are changing, and that the holding company, under

What changes exactly? And whats the point in this message ?
You don't think the upsides of releasing the largest and most complete dataset on human health in history would be inevitable? I'd say the upsides and downsides would both certainly come
Yeah, it's called "inverted pyramid", and it's supposed to be the gold standard of journalistic writing. IIRC it's being taught as part of vocational education.

And yet, news media are the last place you're likely to find articles written in this style. Somehow, they manage to deliver the exact opposite of what they should be. A fractal of confusion, recursively unfolding noise.

(It's as if they were making a lot of money on maximizing the time a reader is engaged with any given article. It's as if - and I know this sounds crazy - the articles were there just to hold the user down, while they're being exposed to something else...)
> a seperate corporate entity for each building

Hmm, so if buying a house, it can be good to first find out if this house is the only one the construction company has built

> insurance companies make some profit, specially in the beginning

I've gotten the impression that CEOs often don't plan much longer than any bonus program periods?

And, later when getting too expensive, can't they just then start telling the companies to use their backups instead.
Although if we could get them laid and married off they probably wouldn't be terrorists anymore.

Not really a family man career.
I genuinely don't understand how you are concerned about "losing messages" when that is literally the baseline for IRC. Every person needs their own bouncer if they don't want any message to be lost to them when their machine disconnects from the internet. And if your bouncer loses connection you won't get the messages either.
Incorrect, as you can configure your homeserver to be a public server or an invite-only server where you can have your chums join your homeserver - and thanks to federation even if there is some break in comms between your homeserver and another federated server - say the matrix.org server (which runs on the same matrix-synapse you'd be running) - it's possible for the federation to route around the problem - which, exactly like IRC's netsplit, will resolve eventually, but with the added advantage of synching history.
Ask HN: Are magic links suitable for all age groups?
When picking which authentication method(s) to offer as part of your service (a SaaS for example), did you take age groups (or other factors of digital comprehension) into account?

Has it shaped your choice of whether or not to offer magic links (one time passwords) as opposed to password authentication?

Would you offer magic links as part of a service that is mainly targeted at ages 50 and over?
Sure, HSR is gonna have it worse than a minute, I was thinking of, say, subways and light commuter rail, with the 1 minute lower bound. Some of those don't spend more than about a minute not at full speed for some stations, including door-open time and de-/ac-cellerating. No train where people aren't traveling very light and prepared to get off fast is going to get quite that low a stop time, though, true.

> You are doing the tutorial, just lovely, now in a week you want to make a Discord bot! Great first project. Uh oh, RED Discord Bot requires Python 3.8

Ok, now you've lost me completely. I am at a total loss as to what you're even trying to argue here.

When I look at the installation instructions for RED Discord Bot on Windows [0], I'm greeted with this:

> We require installing Red into a virtual environment. Don’t be scared, it’s very straightforward.

So even your Bot library (aside from a bazillion dependencies [chocolaty, JRE 11, Git, build tools, ...]) recommends using a virtual environment.

At that point installing a different Python version is the least challenging part of the endeavour.

So either I my mind works in very twisted ways, or your example was exceptionally poorly chosen.

>it's more like casino chips where you pay taxes on them when you cash them in?

I'm not sure whether the IRS would buy that argument. If you won $1M (in chips) at a poker tournament I doubt the IRS would let you report your winnings across 10 separate years to reduce your marginal rate. The tax is on income, which is earned when you won the tournament, not when you cash out the chips.
Four years ago I wrote about my favorite example in this file: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15495027

Some things only make sense if you know very old Rust, and they've just been updated as the language has been updated, obfuscating their original meaning.
> no harm has been done

This isn't the evaluation we're having though. If it was purely a personal choice to wear one or not then maybe. As it stands, most people were compelled by law to wear a mask under every circumstance whether it made sense or not. The argument quickly went from "wear a mask to protect yourself" to "everyone MUST wear a mask under every situation". It then split into two silly sides signally to their camps and a horrible political divide got much worse. Yeah, harm has been done.
And that’s all, apparently. They would like to see him replaced as project leader.
> You can connect to the new network at `irc.libera.chat`, ssl port 6697 (and the usual clearnet port).

You might want to consider to shut down the clearnet port, since users will send their account passwords and all their communication inkl private messages in plaintext over the internet. I don't think that this is a good idea.
No, forex trading is taxed as capital gains, like any other asset.

It also opens up an interesting loophole for companies with cash streams in other currencies, if those currencies are falling in value relative to the dollar. They can cover their local costs in local currency but then convert profits to USD and declare a loss for a tax writeoff.
> Perhaps if we all start using all-caps, somebody in government will hear us

How naive can you be that a company has acquired something you volunteer for and you don’t think you work for that company?

What do people think volunteering is? Play time?
Anti trust is defanged unless the target steps on the legislatures toes.

Accountability is kind of old fashioned in the modern world if I had to opine.
Should be able to get that account back unless they stole her email as well. Typically the original email is able to recover the account and it doesn't matter that the hackers changed the email.
I don't think ISPs care at all about this. They care about the health of their networks.
> I still wish it weren't a taxable event just for switching which crypto you're in though, especially if it's on the same exchange, and only got taxed when you buy goods or services take it out to USD, but oh well.

You're describing section 1031 "like-kind" exchanges. Not available for crypto, and not available for stocks either, so it's not like crypto's getting unfair treatment here (compared to stocks). You have to do the same detailed reporting you describe for stocks.
> It links to other pages like https://fuchsnet.ch/privat/fn-resign-letter.txt which is still live (as of this comment)

I'm guessing stuff behind '/privat/' isn't supposed to be, er, public.. oops.
Where the disconnect is is between "currencies" and "cryptocurrencies". The latter are "currencies" basically in name only, and share almost none of the properties of the former.
That’s a disturbing trend in the U.S. that is getting worse as time goes on. It’s disturbingly true in criminal matters. If crime isn’t too egregious you can avoid just punishment by having the resources to tie up the DA’s office.
Unfortunately, it's even worse on some exchanges that offer up to 125x leverage to people who might not even understand what they're doing properly. That's why you see flash crashes every once in a while, couple weeks back there was billions of dollars liquidated.
well, not literally perfectly safe. just not enough data
lol. this is hilarious
I remember wiring up firmware lock switches on paytv receivers. That brings me back.

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't aware of this defensive mechanism and only noticed the suspicious probes.
In the US, people refer to descendants of East Asia (China/Korea/Japan/similar looking) by Asian. In the UK, Asian means descendants of South Asia (Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Nepali).
No idea.

I've had no problems with either my homeserver nor with Element -desktop or -android.
"this is exactly the opposite of how news articles are supposed to be written."

I'm not accusing you of doing this on purpose, but there's a certain amount of equivocation in the phrase "news article" there. Yes, that's a style that is recommended for factual news articles in a newspaper context, but that's not the only form of "news article".

Call this a "news essay" instead and give it its own style and it might make more sense. It's been around for a long time. Could call it the 20th-century equivalent of clickbait and probably not be far off.

"There's an exciting revolutionary change to physics coming... but first, the full life story of the thesis advisor's influential father... keep reading...."

Arguably it's more a form of entertainment than information.
Not officially to my knowledge, so it is not exactly the same, but he was briefed by the "intelligence community" about it and that was used to smear his campaign.
There is no way to be "careful not to get margin-called", since crypto markets are heavily manipulated in order to force margin calls. Trading on margin on crypto markets is a fool's game.
This whole thing only really works if you're a crypto bull. If you think crypto is here to stay and will go to the moon then yeah, there's no problem borrowing against it, since you expect its value to go up. However, if you're a crypto bear or want to derisk your holdings, this is a terrible idea because you still have exposure to the price of crypto. Selling on the other hand, eliminates your exposure entirely.
I think that counts as a microaggression, in that it's a papercut to someone that builds up over time that a member of the majority culture would not experience (you wouldn't ask a John Smith if they're related to some other Smith). Isn't that what microaggressions are? Something that by itself is innocuous, but when it's the 20th time in a week you're asked the question, it starts being annoying.
Big issue for me was not being able to sync with GitHub, which made it impractical as a project management tool. The api should solve that now so I’m hopeful.
Not being used as a project management tool, I only used it as a wiki. Then I switched to Roam which solves that use case better for my needs.
Yes it is possible to mirror rooms, but last I checked that had to be setup manually? Or does synapse do that automatically now?

In any case that wasn't my point earlier. That was that I never had the issue on IRC that my homeserver somehow got stuck for several minutes while it did "something" in the room resolution protocol before suddenly catching up all of a sudden.
And that I'll take netsplits any day over it being stuck.
My understanding is this isn't really feasible these days. Bear in mind that the 6.25BTC block reward is currently worth about $300,000. There's a lot of competition and most of it will be investing enough to get economies of scale not obtainable for garage-scale miners.
Well maybe you could consider it 'paying more taxes' internally but in reality it would be classified as a donation otherwise the US government would give him a refund for overpaying his taxes. And to my prior point I don't see how that gets anyone else on board.

The law won't change retroactively so I don't see "If the law changed he’d be paying the extra money anyways." makes any sense.
Each key is associated with a batch of devices, though. If you ban a key, you risk banning a bunch of legitimate users.

It's an interesting trade-off. It seems like batch keys for device attestation was designed to help protect individual privacy (good), but if you can't ban a key without potentially a lot of splash damage when you detect a bad actor, that seems like a very limiting choice.
The accusation stuck enough that nothing further had to be put forth.
They should have never been a language feature before IDEs were capable of working with them and exposing them. Luckily they do now...but Scala 3 makes it so that understanding them with a simple text editor is much easier. The fact that they have to be imported in a way that acknowledges their usage is a simple but important way to ease that burden, and the distinction between `given` and `using` is extremely helpful for understanding them.
If they haven't yet, give it a little time. Fucking with US oil supplies is a really good way to get the opportunity to feel the full engine of US intelligence and military might.
First off, wow! Go you! It’s incredible you got to this point to begin with. Mad props to both you and your friend, but mostly you. You have now started to begin the creation of a low-key super power.

Second, bear in mind that in a just world you would be rewarded for the way beautiful people are rewarded for being beautiful, it’s just not that way. So consider it a matter something like personal hygiene. You do it because it’s good for you, not because you’ll get rewarded for it, necessarily.

You don’t need videos or reading material. All you need to do is acknowledge the situation, explain very briefly that you were wrong, and acknowledge how. That’s it. Gostsamo below makes a brilliant point I have also found life-saving over the years which is to express things as explicitly your opinion: “as far as I know..” etc. Not only does it help you cover your ass but it also reworks your own mind to keep your own arrogance in check.

My final thought is that I like to do the opposite. When I see people doing something that I think is genuinely good I love calling them out and being their cheerleader. I think maybe on a day-to-day basis and especially in forums like this one it is much easier to make casually cruel remarks criticizing people than to notice when they are doing something right and honor them for it.
Japanese home appliances: laundry, fridges, cooking, air purifiers [video]
I got it from here (https://money.cnn.com/2013/02/28/news/economy/illegal-income...):

"If you tell the IRS you made $1 million from stealing money or dealing drugs, does the agency tip off the cops? Legally, it can't, unless a law-enforcement agency gets a court order granting it access to a specific taxpayer's return. The IRS isn't supposed to proactively alert other agencies about misdeeds unless terrorism is involved. In that case, it still needs a court order to disclose anything, but the IRS can initiate the legal process on its own."

I have no idea if it is still valid or not.
Who uses netcat to chat?

Not only it injects newlines, it injects indentation. You can always 1) paste from logs 2) paste from the in-memory rawlog Irssi keeps or 3) use a script like xsel | tr '\t' ' ' | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's/ */ /g' | tee >(xsel -i) | xsel -ib to your clipboard (yes it uses tr uselessly)

Copy-pasteability is not really the goal of apps that use ncurses or similar interfaces. Side-by-side windows break it also.
waaaaay too slow talking to be at 1x speed. I don't listen to podcasts that fast, but darknet diaries definitely needs a speed bump.

I like the episodes I've listened to though (so far only 5-10 of them)
You can check how EURS deals with this, for better or worse https://eurs.stasis.net/transparency/
Yeah, you may find that due to the mass and length scale due to the viscosity/surface tension etc. would require sub audible frequencies. Totally worth trying. As far as atomic manipulation, no since that needs to be in a hard vacuum and low temperature. The same wave interference principle is used in that technology though.
In fairness though, I think "business application" doesn't have a clear definition. What separates them from client/server games? Suddenly yeah, now you're thinking about CQRS, reading account information from a database, serializing state--certainly sounds like a business application to me. Doesn't Chrome connect to Google servers that talk to databases? Isn't VS Code an Electron app that talks to backend services?

I would argue that thinking about things in terms of application type isn't that useful. Rather, I've gotten more mileage from thinking about the lower-level problems. Like do we have to deal with concurrent modification, do our users span timezones, blah blah blah. These things give me more to work with when designing an application than like, whatever its "type" is.
...also Cloudflare has been a disaster for Tor. It really harms Tor's usability.
The description in that article made no sense to me, and it doesn't even have a diagram. When I realized that where they wrote “taping the narrow end” they meant “taping the wide end”, and made some other allowances, it sort of came together. There are other articles on the web with much clearer descriptions.
This is true, but it's philosophical. The IRS has finite resources, so it has a fundamental choice:

1. Maximize collections. This is what they're doing: spending their resources on cases with the best expected ROI. If you have $1T in net tax misses, chase the easiest 75% and expect a 90% collection rate.

2. Deter high absolute tax avoidance. This is what you're suggesting: spend their resources to make a statement, even if the ROI isn't there. If you have $1T in net tax misses, chase the hardest 25% and expect a 5% collection rate.

I don't think you're wrong, as there's value in deterrence (i.e., sue the hell out of rich tax evaders, and even if you lose, maybe the next one will be less likely to push it).
- Yes.

- To my (limited) knowledge, yes, you are right that keys will get more unique over time. That's a very good point. Keys are not rotated nor (generally) are they rotatable; they are usually read-only. If you are using a very old FIDO device and worried it has too much entropy now--like, if it's a "rare" or "vintage" device!--then you should buy a new one, I guess?

(I honestly have not thought about your second point before, but I am not really deep in the FIDO stuff. So take my answer with a grain of salt.)
Implicits haven't been removed, they've just shuffled the keywords around to appease the 'implicit bad' crowd. Type classes are an incredibly important language feature, and implicit parameters are a generalization of the required functionality.
Pretty sure it was edited, that's why I used the quotes. I could be wrong though so I'll modify mine.
When you enroll a token with a site, the token mints a random new key pair and sends the site an ID and the public key, signed with the private key.

The site records the ID and public key.

When you return, to confirm it's really you, the site sends one or more IDs you've enrolled and says, sign this fresh random data with one of the associated private keys.

Your tokens can look at the site and an ID and decide if they made that ID for that site, if they did they sign the message with the private key, proving you are still you. If they didn't make it, they pass and maybe you own a different token that can sign, or maybe you show them a different ID they do recognise.

To reuse this capability for tracking, the site would need to guess who you are first. "I guess this is arsome, they have this U2F key". But if they can guess who you are, they already don't need such tracking.
I genuinely appreciate your comment and the direction it provides - it's rare to see this when people disagree.

When re-reading the OP's comment just now, I just can't interpret it any other way other than "see! crypto bad". Maybe I'm missing something.

I'd accept that my responding, effectively in-kind ("see! your position bad"), isn't particularly useful other than potentially alerting them to the fact (my intention), and I'd no doubt do better to provide some examples of benefits at least (as I see the current top-voted reply did, that is otherwise identical to mine).

My admission of that however, does not indemnify the original commenter - at least, in terms of my interpretation of their comment, which is really all I can be responsible for.
For anyone that wants a less shady VPN, I've found Mullvad[1] to be very good. They take privacy to the next level, where you can literally mail them an envelope full of cash with your anonymous login key and they'll top up the credit on the account. I also like Mullvad because they seem to spend approximately $0 on marketing (at least compared to the other guys) and don't do any of those bullshitty perpetual "limited-time offer" shenanigans.

If you're American and want a VPN based in America (not the Virgin Islands etc), I've found TorGuard[2] to be very good as well.

The IRS would however probably allow you to treat the entire thing as a zero-cost basis and pay extra tax to not have to deal with the paperwork. Depending on the scale of the profits and the scale of the paperwork, that might be worth it.
To mine one Bitcoin per day, you would probably need double-digit million dollar worth of equipment and use as much energy as a 30,000 people town.
