Repeating "ultrasound money" memes. That specific meme has to do with state level attackers blowing up mining farms. It has nothing to do with changing issuance. And the entire premise is that an external force comes in and tries to co-opt it.

That isn't relevant to the conversation of stakers having misaligned incentives to change the rules. The most a state level actor can do is censor transactions if they were to take over a chain.

With PoS you'd need to slash the validators stake on a fork; which isn't going to happen because the stakers run the validators everyone is using. You already saw this with the steemit takeover.

In PoW coins, the miners and validating economic nodes are two separate groups. Watch what happens when exchanges slip over to Eth2 nodes and call it Eth.

During the BCHA/BCH split the exchanges were the ones that decided the ticker. Most users have ZERO CLUE about what happened. They went on their with their lives calling the fork the exchanges chose BCH. Once exchanges are validators there is no bulwark against changes.
You seem to be proposing that not passing a law against proof of work cryptocurrencies somehow makes it more likely that we will quickly pass a law generally "solving the climate issues" ... I think that is highly unlikely, and in fact I think the opposite direction is more likely, that passing a law banning PoW cryptocurrencies makes us more likely to pass another law which solves climate issues in other ways.

Banning PoW cryptocurrencies is not a big enough priority for anyone that it will be a motivating factor to move past the other issues surrounding the climate debate, especially not anyone on the side of "don't do [thing] to fix the problem". I don't see any other mechanism by which it makes passing other climate legislation harder.

Banning PoW cryptocurrencies removes money that is currently on the side of "don't pass climate legislation because it will harm my PoW cryptocurrency business" from the table. That makes passing future legislation easier.

In general, trying to solve all the worlds problems at once doesn't work. It's too complex, you paralyze the decision making body with too many tradeoffs. When something is obviously bad, banning it immediately not only has the effect of meaning it's gone immediately (and doesn't hang around until you solve the whole problem), but it simplifies the remaining problem for the decision making body. This makes them more likely to come to a consensus on exactly what to do in a finite amount of time.
They’ve burnt their ships so to speak
I was in a semi-rural suburb of San Antonio, Texas. We had a CS class, our academic decathalon team team placed 6th in state (I was a C but placed 3rd in individual), and I took a lot of AP science and math so I spent a lot of time with the top people in our class. It was… a great time. Non-AP classes were hit or miss, but AP physics C, calculus B/C, and art history were some of my all time favorite school experiences. I feel very lucky to have had the time I did.

I, uh, just own both types? Actually 90% of the time the reason I use wireless buds is because I want to wear just one bud without stuff dangling, like when I'm cooking or walking my dog and I want to be aware of my surroundings.

You can't seriously list battery wear and charging and leave out the biggest annoyances with wired earphones: the cable gets tangled, and on earphones the cable is the weakest link, it's the first thing that breaks the majority of the time.
> A carbon tax with a dividend is the free-market fundamentalist proposal.

It's specifically not the one I was replying to -

"The correct allocation of energy should be based on the price people are willing to pay for the energy. Like any other commodity."

> The way of determining which is pricing.

It's not the only way, it's not even the only way that's employed right now in a lot of places, for instance we don't apply sales tax to items we deem 'essential' here in the UK, have a 5% rate for some things and 20% for 'luxuries'.

Price is not the only mechanism available, nor is it always the best one.
"Fixing the problem is up to you."

"The concurrency characteristics of the systems I hack on every day would be much harder to model without GenServers. It's not particularly surprising that Erlang is not the only way to solve a problem in software engineering, there is no silver bullet."

Erlang was at one point the only way to get this sort of structure, though.

Now it isn't. Multiple languages like Go have lightweight coroutine-y type things; if the isolation isn't perfect, you can fix it with programming discipline. There's also Pony, and Rust which has its own thing which is in its own way far stronger than what Erlang offers. Async/await languages are very amenable to setting up lots of little process-like things, to the point that arguably it's the only sane way to structure your programs in such languages. There is a real change in Erlang being almost the only thing on offer, to merely being one choice of a whole bunch and no longer being impressive enough to justify the lockin. (Not that Erlang uniquely has lock in; all languages have lock simply by virtue of the fact that once code is written in X you can't just change it to Y one day. But it's not worth the lock in anymore.)
Absolutely agree. The best and most creative environments I have worked in have been full of people who you could turn to and say "What if we did X?", and they would immediately come up with reasons that X would fail or be impossible. If your idea hadn't been absolutely annihilated after 5 or 10 minutes of this, it was probably pretty decent.
Jordan is an incredible athlete and an incredible person. Not long ago a friend sent me a recording of Jordans last game against the Jazz, and man, I was seriously impressed at his tactical prowess. Two really amazing teams playing a game of human chess with some might and force of will mixed in was awe inspiring all over again. Watching Jordan rise to the occasion on top of that gave me goosebumps. I'm quite proud to have grown up watching his games.

I don't think a QB is ever "diffident". I bet he'd feel a lot more confident there than the nerd on a football field, or really anywhere.

It's mainly to reduce emissions and to protect the local environment. The paragraph also more generally states that you have to "prevent unnecessary noise pollution and emissions", which as we learn in driving school also means shutting off your motor when sitting at a red light.
> online vault which is a critical feature of any password manager

I guess by "online" you mean access to your passwords using nothing but a web browser. I can see how that could be a requirement for certain users (e.g. employees permitted to make personal use of a work computer but not install any software) but disagree that that's a critical feature.

I used Dropbox to sync my 1Password vaults (including a shared vault with my spouse) from 2013 but never used the "trick" of publishing it through the public folder before Dropbox dropped that feature in 2017. I continued using Dropbox to sync vaults until last year when I upgraded to 1Password 7 and a family subscription.
As far as security is concerned, it's the application's responsibility to properly scope websocket connections... if and when that's appropriate. This is true of any websocket connection, not just those used by StimulusReflex or even ActionCable.

As noted by the parent, latency is certainly a consideration when using such tools, but there are a myriad of libs and techniques that can be leveraged to help you build great user experiences with StimulusReflex and LiveView. You just need to consider your options and architect accordingly.

Note also that the expo demos for StimulusReflex are incredibly old (a few major versions behind at this point) and were created in haste to help people grok concepts via example. They were never intended to be a canonical guide of how to best architect such apps at scale. We're considering taking the expo site offline in favor of more specific and better architected demos.
Alternatively: God Himself is one who rests, and He built a pattern of rest into His creation. (Genesis - 'on the seventh day He rested'; Deuteronomy 5:13 - 'Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant or your ox or your donkey or any of your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you, so that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.')

Why is that important? God cares for His creation and gave rest as a good gift to be enjoyed as He commands. But He also used it to point to Christ, and to eternal life! Hebrews 4 talks about a final 'Sabbath rest for the people of God', one that you may enter into, no longer having to strive and toil to accomplish things.

Why the theology lesson on HN? There's always a dual to what evolutionary hypothesis tends to claim in its discoveries. Genetic links between different species that are better explained as common components from the same designer than mutual ancestry, for example.
I think the "fierce need" / INTJ archetype the author is describing takes it a step above that of young men in general when it comes to overconfident / arrogance. And I agree with the author in that it's related to independent-mindedness. I can reflect on memories growing up where other young men were much more "in tune" to the group. They more intuitively understood the social cost of adopting an unpopular position. Or they just had the sensitivity to know that a position or statement wouldn't be well-received within the group. Or they just valued social harmony in general more than accurately representing what they believed to be true.

That's a bit different than when I think of young men in general being more confident than they ought to be. It has more to do with the goal: status within a group vs putting effort into finding what you believe is true and accurately representing that truth potentially at a social cost.

I don’t think it’s too cynical. In light of recent emails released in the epic lawsuit, it’s clear Apple makes decisions based on profit over functionality. (iMessage for android). People want to believe they’re altruistic but they are a business after all.

I agree with a lot of what the 'woke' are trying to achieve; police reform, less bias (call it institutional racism, etc..) in government institutions, address massive generational wealth gaps, etc... but the 'woke' are mostly reductive and reactionary and are the kings and queens of painting with a broad brush.

Ask HN: How to Ensure File Integrity
I have a lot of data which I try to carefully backup. One thing which concerns me is the integrity of my files. It's no good backing them up if they become corrupt without me knowing. Most of my files like photos, old emails, etc will never change and I want to keep it that way. Bit rot or more likely, me inadvertently changing a file somehow.

I'm familiar with source control like git and if I could check all my files in to some sort of super git repo then a git status would show me if any of my files have become corrupt. Git isn't great at large files though and git LFS seems complicated and possibly overkill for this situation. I only need the "has a file changed" part so I'm wondering if anyone has a good way to handle this situation. I don't need versioning as I have that already with my backups.
It's easier to get Facebook to be carbon neutral because they are a centralized institution, and it only takes a committed government to zero down on a corporation and force them to move to clean energy or pay a carbon tax.

With crypto it's too decentralized to implement either.

> who's the arbiter of what's "too much" power for a use case

Ultimately Mother Nature will be the arbiter. If people spend too much time arguing about politics instead of either lowering power usage or moving to clean energy, those people will be killed sooner or later.
> Does democracy die in indifference?

No, it dies when you have a (de facto) two-party system and a Senate structured the way ours is, and one of those two parties has a constituency that favors coups while benefitting from aforementioned Senate structure to have a great deal of power. Same constituency is also very resistant to any media that might try to convince them coups are a bad idea.

That's what may kill (our) democracy: anti-democratic coups being pretty damn popular. Not indifference.
This, although to clarify you're still going to have to sell into some of your marketing channels (such as when partnering with a climbing gym as suggested above).

I'm a programmer turned business man and I have autism spectrum disorder so learning to sell was difficult, but doable. Now I'm a natural. I had this conversation with another founder last week. She'd sold nothing so far.

Here's the crux. Selling is a deeply personal experience. You're getting someone else to open their wallet and give you their money. Even if that's not exactly what the transaction is it's how it feels. Trust makes a massive difference here. Some people engender trust because of their natural trustworthy disposition. The rest of us are not naturally so likable and do not have a likely future as a con artist. Take time to understand your customers. If you don't know how to sell a relationship with a channel partner then you need to not be talking you need to be asking questions, getting to know them. How does their business operate, what do they need and want, then its your job to find synergy.

Selling is most effective when you're finding someone a solution to their problem, not when you're persuading them to change their behavior for your benefit (that's the slimy shit we all hate).

Let's take the climbing gym example. Let's imagine they have a problem with churn, or competition from other climbing gyms. You have a product climbers will like. Can the climbing gym give your product as a gift to members who sign up for a plan? See how you are both aligned there? It's just one example and perhaps not the right one but you get the idea.

Also, if you want to play the social game I find lots of products that drive most of their revenue from social content marketing (Insta, TikTok, etc...). If you want to play that game it can work. I don't know that area well so I can't give you tips. I just see lots of slick content from small brands and occasionally I buy a product from them.

Selling is completely transformed when you *know* your product is good for them they just don't know it yet. As opposed to that awful feeling of begging for approval.

Lastly, ALWAYS ASK FOR THE SALE. You want to ask, and get the rejection or the sale. The rejection will teach you how to improve your offering, the sale will of course give you money.
It’s been stopped at every turn. This letter, for example, is good evidence of that. We are not at risk.

Anecdotally, the few people I know who were excited leading up to 1/6 are resigned to complaining about Biden as they would about any Democratic Party President.
There's nothing wrong with pointing out problems with a solution and not providing a counter-solution. When one isn't provided, it can simply mean that the offered solution is actually worse than the status quo.

In this particular situation, I may not have the solution, but I know that the offered one is a short-sighted knee-jerk reaction which has terrible implications for other things
I always wonder how researchers can convincingly estimate "under-reported" taxes. It seems that by definition this must be mostly guesswork.

That's not the point that I'm making. You're absolutely right that nobody would ever pay $200 or whatever per month for such a service, but that's because nobody would ever consumer $200 worth of TV series on any given month. It's just not humanly feasible.

The average human being consumes 2-3 TV shows at most on any given month. In the absolute worst case, that extends to 2-3 separate streaming subscriptions. The only thing that changes over the course of the year is which 3 TV shows one is watching (and therefore which underlying streaming service they care about).

The future isn't a $200 bundle of every streaming service available on-demand; the future is an LRU cache that automatically unsubscribes you from a streaming service if you haven't watched a show on it in the last month, and then re-subscribes you the moment you do. Given the current price of streaming services, it probably works out closer to (at most) $45/month, on average.
Love how the goalposts keep moving.

First arcane password rules so it takes 5 minutes and half a dozen attempts to come up with a password that is accepted. Then force the user to change it often. Then add email verification. Then SMS/phone verification. Still not good enough, now we all need to have a hardware token to buy the counterfeit garbage for sale on Amazon. Fuck that. It's just not worth the trouble. Honestly the world was a lot easier (if a bit slower) when you dealt with businesses in person or via mail. Fraud and identity theft just doesn't scale in meatspace, so it was never a big problem.
I concur.

Angular's framework contains all the baked in patterns that is friendly for a large enterprise scale application.

DI, Angular Modules, opinionated patterns.

More boiler plate yes, but small, one-time cost to pay, for a scalable pattern that the entire community subscribes to
Doesn't the mining difficulty decrease then though without the massive mining farms, and thus the electricity required decreases? I'm not an expert in crypto mining.
> Then apply the diff and load the javascript as normal.

Can service workers mutate the HTTP cache? I haven't seen it yet, but if not, it seems like the client might be forever pinned to the old version. I guess most likely we'd have to avoid the HTTP cache all together and run our own application module caching. That could work, but wonder if the performance overhead would be worth it...

I'll play around this a little more though, it's a really cool idea. Getting a clean API seems tricky but doable.

Meanwhile, over here in non-Apple land, I bring a single high wattage USB-C charger with me when I travel, which is sufficient to charge my laptop, phone, and headphones. Then I have tiny 1' USB-A bridge cables that I use to charge my other devices through my laptop (Kindle, battery pack, smartwatch). All pretty simple, all dirt cheap cables, no dongles.
Thanks, I had found this once before but couldn't remember the name of it and have been looking ever since.

Sounds like it's Socialist for land, but free-market for everything else. Who knows whether that's good or not, but it's at least a different approach and more interesting than the standard "Progressivism driving the speed limit" that we're used to.
I believe that Firefox is replacing some Facebook JavaScript with a stub, to avoid that sites break because some tracking bits are missing.

So the reason why the GA object is replaced, rather than removed, is because removing it would break other sites. Tee Spring is trying to do the right thing, but fail because other sites don’t do the same.
This is an Orwellian take to want the government to tell you how you're allowed to use electricity. Is watching TV a waste of energy? How much energy goes into steaming Netflix?

If you want to target an externality of the free market, do it directly: simply tax emissions. This will guide the market towards greener energy generation and direct capital out of activities that produce emissions without generated value.
I'm not so sure it's a VC-scale business. Maybe if it's useful for weightlifting and other vertical markets. That being said I wouldn't be quick to write it off as a failure. Most of the climbers in the thread are chiming in as excited about the product.

It needs better positioning as I think it's more about being better for your hands than chalk (and a more pleasant experience to use) than it is about the environment.

But OP might be on to something here. Particularly if they want a lifestyle business.

Only if the input and the output of the fan are piped together.

Apple was designing stuff that considered the airflow THROUGH THE CASE back with the first Macintosh, the 128K. You could even get a silly looking chimney that used convection to pull even more air through the case with no other modifications.

All Macs with air cooling, not just the laptops, are designed with internal airflow in mind and always have been. You do not have a little fan blowing directly on the CPU (from where? to where?) and expect it to do anything.

I don't know who this fellow is, but next he can take the top off his cylinder head and then be upset the engine doesn't work. From first appearances he is an absolute bozo.
"It Depends"? :)

Typically if you've got a single React component type that is supposed to be reused in multiple places with differing behavior, the right answer is "pass in something as a prop". In this case, that could be a callback function that dispatches the correct action, so the form component can just do `props.onFormCompleted(data)`, and the differing usage sites can pass in different callbacks that dispatch different actions.
They are quite alright on Apple and Microsoft platforms.
