+1. To add, the lack of reverse proxy support back then made it worse. So things like rate limiting, max-conn, time out etc., that we take for granted in Nginx or HAProxy had to be either hand-coded or done in some roundabout manner.

This is what I meant by "operational maturity". A big factor for a new tech to gain adoption is the ease with which it fits in the existing ecosystem. For gRPC it's about load-balancer, reverse proxies, deployments, and so fourth. I'm sure gRPC will get there, depending on how fast it's adopted in big tech companies but I suspect it's not there yet.
If it becomes a Kickstarter, I really hope the makers know what they are getting into. There is a lot between a prototype and mass production, and a lot of projects fail between the two.

Keeping it small scale, hand made on demand and high priced may be a safer option.

> We get team meetings twice a week where we discuss workload and trivia, what can a 1 on 1 possibly add?

Speaking as a manager, if your 1:1's are purely focused on day-to-day work activities, they're missing the point.

Sounds to me like you've never had a manager who actually attempts to coach and mentor their staff to support them, train them, help define career goals, and create steps to achieving those goals.

My 1:1s? When they're done well, they're typically a mix of issues of the day--I don't typically poke my nose into what my staff are doing, so the 1:1s are an opportunity for staff to raise issues and concerns in a safe space--combined with developmental activities and bigger picture strategic items.

And in the background of all that is building a strong interpersonal relationship. It's a chance to ask about how the person is doing (I'm always on the lookout for signs of stress or burnout), how their family is doing, how the dog is doing. That forms the bedrock that ensures we have an open line of communication so we can deal with issues when they come up.

> I see these as something that looks 'nice' in a manager's agenda ("Man, you are fully booked out, you work hard!") but add nothing to the efficiency.

Bluntly, if your managers find these meetings easy or have them on the agenda because they "look nice", the manager isn't taking them seriously.

Every one of my 1:1s requires a) preparation, b) deep focus and attention, and c) significant mental and emotional investment. When done well they can be exhausting.

Hell, a while back I asked my staff if we could move to bi-weekly one-on-ones. I won't lie, this was a selfish request on my part as I find them pretty taxing. To a person they asked to retain a weekly cadence. Go figure.

Of course, if you have an incompetent micromanager, yeah, they're gonna be a waste of everyone's time, in which case I feel bad for you, because that really sucks.
I was waiting for this comment. Every single thread about Scala has someone pushing this narrative that Kotlin is the real arbiter of change when it really has been Scala the entire time pushing boundaries on the JVM.

Kotlin is great and if you want a cleaner Java experience, by all means use it but Scala is real champion in pushing many, many things into the mainstream.

It'll get liquidated if it drops by say 30%, but that's what you would have paid in taxes anyways. You get the same amount of cash either way.
Would they take a chance and miss a juicy account at Google/Facebook etc? I don’t think so.

The use case is we automatically generate documentation on the fly, so I'd want to be able to then also automatically update their documentation site with our new docs we've generated.

From what you're saying it sounds like the best route for us to support Docusaurus sites is to generate the markdown files and let them update their site themselves, which is fine I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything myself.

I think the point of this is less that the IRS won't report it to someone else, but that it adds tax evasion as a reason a criminal can be pursued.

You are probably thinking it's like where contact tracers or census workers or whatever aren't supposed to report illegal immigrants because it's more important that they get accurate info than report people to ICE. I don't think that's the case with the IRS, they're probably more than happy to let other agencies know about your illegal activity.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand the mindset here. Having created something whose only advantage is in money laundering and paying for illegal products, having created something that by its nature has and always will have massively wasteful consumption and externalities, you're now looking for a way to avoid paying the taxes that support society?

It might be interesting to compare the treatment of Italian-Americans and German-Americans to Japanese-Americans in WW1 and WW2. Relatively few Italian and German-Americans were interned in comparison. Meanwhile, the hostility towards Japanese-Americans spilled over to Chinese-Americans despite China being invaded and allied with the US, leading to Chinese-Americans having to explicitly distinguish their racial identity while out in public as here: https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/chinese-americans-during-ww...

The fact of the matter is, being a visible ethnic minority come with challenges in addition to being just an ethnic minority. If you are visually similar to the ethnic target of the day, whether or not you actually have links with them, you automatically get hit as collateral damage whether you like it or not. German and Italian Americans could blend in and stay out of the spotlight during the world wars. Japanese, Chinese, and other Asian Americans could not and still cannot, and their visual appearance forces them to share the same spotlight. No matter how varied the Asian experience may be, the Pan-Asian identity will continue to exist because identity is not just a product what you think of yourself, but what others think of you and how they interact with you.

I like this. Another phrase I've heard is that code is like poetry, but I think good code is more like an essay or book than like poetry. There's structure, clarity, etc. It can be a little verbose if that helps make it easier to understand.
There may not be as much of a balancing act.

The gap that needs to be minimized, I believe, is the gap between deciding to start and being able to produce actual usable stuff.

So, for example, the use of shared hosting that mapped PHP to web routes meant that you could get started and immediately create actual websites on the internet. Having to do that manually via setting up Apache, etc., makes that gap significantly larger.

OTOH, an online REPL lets you see the results of your code, but doesn’t actually let you create actual programs that you could use. Whereas setting up a local environment means that you can immediately create Python scripts that you can actually use.

An online REPL, in this way, only adds to the gap between someone deciding to start and creating real usable outputs.
You can block users or homeservers, or even go allowlist only, I believe.
Ask HN: What equipment's/setup do I need to mine Bitcoin at home?
1) What kind of tools/hardware/software/equipment I need if I want to mine A) 1 bitcoin/day B) 1 bitcoin/month C) 1 bitcoin/year in my home alone?

2) Anyone did this setup at home/ "here in my garage"?

3) Is it possible to create "smart" algorithm to reduce computing cost per bitcoin?

4) How do I locate all locations in the world who are mining right at this moment? heat signature? power surge?

5) How do I "VPN/mask" my mining so no one can know that I doing bitcoin mining "here in my garage"?

Thanks :)

There is a firehouse of options in the app store, but you need to sift through conflicting reports about which ones are "still good" - the prevailing recommendations seemed to change every 6 months or so when I researched which ones to try.

When you do find some that seem worthwhile, the paid tiers are often expensive, and they will not work as well as the free browser extensions on every other platform.

And there is no replacement for NoScript at any price.
Naive question: could I use a speaker setup similar to this with my analog synth rig to use combinations of sine, saw, and square waves to find combinations of waves that suspended and manipulated this ferrofluid - and would those sound shapes have applications to laser pulses manipulating atoms? Intuitively, it seems like a way to model concepts for macro quantum computer.

While atoms may not behave as liquids, laser pulses are waves. Is there specific reason why not?

> Are we assuming that it's impossible to extract a private key from one of these devices?

Nope, it's just "expensive" to extract keys from secure hardware like this. The problem with an approach like this is that when the secret keys are identical for a large number of devices then the cost of revoking a compromised key goes up significantly which, for a spammer, would increase the value of obtaining said key because of the likelyhood that the key would be usable for a much longer time than if the key was unique to each device (and could be very easily blacklisted).

Techniques to extract data from these sorts of secure devices include various forms of side-channel analysis, decapping and microprobing the IC, using SEM, etc. to physically damage parts of the circuit to try to force it to disclose the key and various forms of power and clock glitching.

Most decent hardware-based cryptosystems are designed to ensure that each device has a unique key so that the cost of extracting one key (lets say around $100k) is too high for a potential attacker if the key can just be blacklisted, but if the key is expensive/impossible to blacklist then that cost might be worthwhile to an attacker.

Because if your coins go down to $100k, you're going to get margin called on your borrow. Given the volatility of crypto, you wouldnt want to borrow more than 10% of your funds.

>It'll get liquidated if it drops by say 30%,

Doesn't this trigger a taxable event? If not it seems like it's pretty easy to bypass taxes by borrowing against your bitcoin and then liquidating it if it drops 1%. In addition to that, since it's a loan, you're theoretically stuck paying interest on it forever. Assuming 5% APR, you'd reach break-even in about 5 years.
No I don't think it did have a reasonable starting point at all. Extra-ordinary claims require extra ordinary evidence, and as it turned out (as explained in Mueller's report), there never was any evidence for it. I'm not talking about vague suggestions of Russian interference, I'm talking about the conspiracy theory that Trump or his campaign colluded with Putin to hack (or otherwise subvert) the election.

It never should have got past a few low level intelligence lackeys. The fact you had the chairman of the house intelligence committee as well as countless other powerful politicians, "trusted" journalists, ex-intelligence agency heads, etc. all insisting for years that there was "ample evidence" for it, is just utterly insane in my view. It was obviously just pure lies and dishonesty for political advantage.

What you describe is how assets are typically taxed. And as far as I know, this includes currency you purchase and later sell for a profit.

It's called a cost basis.

Unless you are suggesting purchases made with Bitcoin (that aren't converted to fiat currency first) are taxed, which I'm not sure is the case.
CNN: You suggest that the food industry has altered the food we eat, knowing it can kill us. Really?

Dr. Robert Lustig: Really. The food industry knows that when they concentrate sugar, it becomes addictive. The more sugar you add to processed food, the more addictive it becomes. They also know that when they concentrate sugar, it causes liver fat, which leads to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and death. They do it anyway.

CNN: Doesn't the quantity of sugar we eat play a role?

Lustig: Yes, if you could modify the quantity. But you can't, not with addictive substances. That's why they are addictive.

It's the same thing with all hedonic substances like cocaine, nicotine and heroin. When someone says, "I have a horrible sweet tooth," that is sugar addiction. Do you really think people can moderate their food intake when the food has been engineered to do the exact opposite?

...

Like I said previously https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25571660

I'll concede that, sure, this is going to take some time but it'll surely going to happen once the addiction is kicked to the curb or if sugar is becoming unbearable to any country's NHS (or equivalent to those who don't have such privilege).

Rollout expected this year for button cells, automotive cell pouches by 2024.

They are probably talking about on chain borrowing on Ethereum using Maker or Compound or one of many other similar contracts. In this case, if the price of crypto drops to the point that the amount you borrowed is more than the crypto you put up for collateral, you either need to put more crypto into your position to keep it collateralized, or the position will be liquidated, losing you the crypto and triggering the capital gains taxes you were trying to avoid.
