I always thought Dart/Flutter was a hedge against Oracle shutting down Java-usage on Android. Now that they have Kotlin (which devs generally much prefer over the Java-facsimile Dart) and Jetpack, I'm not sure either what relevance Dart/Flutter has to Android.

The latest Chrome on MacOS has absolutely murdered the old Chrome desktop. There are now pointless circles around the quicklinks. You can customise the colours but you can't fully customise them, so the best you can get is a weird palette that doesn't look how you want it to look.

It's sort-of usable if you set up some custom wallpaper, but that takes a while to load, and while it's loading the page glitches with the original colour scheme on grey.

The experience was fine as it was. Now it's somewhere between irritating and infuriating.
That is an absurdly facile take. All of those things predate modern technology, and they could happily buy them had they been made without. The argument misses the entire point of what it means to be Amish.

Even the wording (in particular, the choice of "sneered") makes me think the whole thing was written in bad faith.

This article has absolutely no substance in it. Nor is "cryptocurrency traded at $60k" - that's literally only Bitcoin, and today that is roughly cut in half!
you could well be right that this is a dominion thing, though I don't see anything suggesting such - but then I can imagine it's not openly promoted, if so.

> Everything from preaching to media technology, from helping with funerals to discipling [sic] unbelievers

I don't see an issue with this, if discipling unbelievers means something similar to promoting the church, or missionary-esque behaviour (of the non-colonial form, obviously). If it means how to deal with atheists in a theocracy then I'm not a fan.
It feels to me an improvisation upon Clearlooks
It affects you directly because:
1 - many exchanges hold Tether as a reserve and use it extensively for various transactions between the exchanges, which means that if Tether collapses they could have huge holes in their balance sheets. Some exchanges (Binance especially) could become insolvent overnight. No money in, no money out. Read up on Mt. Gox if you want to see what happened the last time an exchange went belly up.

2 - If you believe the worst allegations, then Tether is artificially propping up the value of Bitcoin. In the event of a run on Tether, Tether may be forced to sell thousands of Bitcoins abruptly onto the market to get cash.

3 - The fallout of a true worst case scenario for Tether could lead to crypto being reclassified in order to fall under all the relevant financial regulations that banks and the traditional finance sector are subject to.
I've already misspelled it is libra a couple of times.
> Intelligence is not completely due to genetics as you are suggesting and has to do more with socio-economic conditions

This goes against all of the scientific literature we have. Intelligence is determined by genetics. It can be artificially lowered via poor socio-economic conditions, but it mostly cannot be lifted by higher socio economic conditions. In laymans terms, a traumatic life can make a child who was otherwise going to be smart not so smart, but a good life cannot make a child who was going to be dumb intelligent. Socioeconomic conditions can lower the intelligence determined by genetics, they cannot improve intelligence determined by genetics.
How exactly would you confirm - beyond any doubt - that contagion happened outside? Most people live most of their lives inside a building of one sort or another, so it'd be almost impossible to 'document' a case of outside transmission.

The closest thing we have is homeless populations - they spend most of their time exclusively outside - and they still get sick: https://www.sfpublicpress.org/covid-19-cases-spike-among-hom...

So making some big claim about how outdoors transmission is impossible is kind of preposterous.

Ask HN: Trade-offs of the best teams / places you ever worked for?
I'm curious about the trade-offs folks have preferred in their workplaces or teams over the years, and why they made sense at the time - i.e. you were single / underpaid / started a family / remote / autonomy / etc.

Over 8 years, at 4 different companies of various sizes...every place I've worked at had some grating issue(s), I've just learned which ones I'm willing to deal with.

A few for myself:

- I've come to accept that impactful teams often deal with ~50% interrupt-driven activities due to top-down mandates or fire-fighting. Real users, real value, real pain.

- Everyone pulls their own weight, but the annual raise isn't as high. Being the big fish in a small pond has diminishing returns - I might get a fat raise every year but the stress from being forever resigned to all the stuff nobody else can or wants to do is unsustainable.

- Team does not ask algorithmic puzzles (i.e. leetcode, epi) questions. I just don't have the energy to practice studying for them anymore, and hate asking them to people even more. However, I will say that doing so at one point in my career literally doubled my income, nevermind that the test taking skills I developed had no effect on my job performance. I probably left a lot of money on the table by not having tons of offers at once.
For people who pass as male online, yeah. It makes me feel out of place any time it's happened to me.

Fun fact: trombonists can learn to play the Theremin faster than other instrumentalists because the relation between distance and pitch is comparable on the two instruments.
Presumably your complaint is that cryptocurrencies don't have "economic value", but what theory of value are you using to decide that?

Exchange theory of value says that a commodity has two values: a use value (what it can do for you outside of the market) and an exchange value (what others will give you for it in the market).

I think it'd be correct to say that cryptocurrency has no use value, but it obviously does have economic value. And it's far from the only asset with these characteristics.

All the annoying emojis and push notifications talking to me like I’m an ignorant child trading stocks (“HOORAY!! YOU GOT DIVIDEND HIGH FIVE”) is what made me realize this app wasn’t for me.

I guess that’s exactly what to expect when you apply that SV-type growth hacker PMs to a trading platform.
> In the end, the very basic purpose of physics is to be able to tell, given state 1, what state 2 will be.

Totally. But I would say your idea of predicting is still unnecessarily involving a "flow of time"; of things "becoming" or changing in themselves. Relations can hold without this notion of change or "becoming". A carpet with a regular pattern does not evolve in time, yet it has patterns. The patterns could be analogues to the laws of physics. The pattern tells you what can be in adjacent portions of the carpet, just like the laws of physics take input and tell you what will or can happen next. The carpet never changes though. You can imagine a separate observer tracing out a line in the pattern from one section to another and seeing it "change", but again the carpet never changed.

Fitting consciousness into this model is very hard I admit. There would be no outside observer tracing out lines in the carpet seeing them change. Instead, the flow of time (the feeling of us persisting from one moment to the next; not being entirely new objects at each instantaneous slice) would have to be a conscious illusion. But so is redness and warmth I could say. Maybe a brainstate is just your memories. And having a sequence of memories gives the illusion you existed prior to this instant. And this process* is done at every instant.

*Process as in timeless patterns on a carpet or timeless laws of physics. This process does not "take time", it's just action of particles behaving the laws of physics - in a timeless/carpet sense. Consiousness is given at every instant by the relation of particles, like the imagine on a movie screen is given at each instant from the photons of the projector. It's just that our screen "consciousness" feels persistent due to having memories.

If anyone wants a more cogent explanation read Tegmark, Barbour, and Harvey Brown. Here is Harvey https://youtu.be/CA-YsWXRSHU
Yes. It's in price discovery phase. Volatility is expected until it reaches a sufficient market cap to not be affected by single events. It's pretty silly to think what it's like now is what it will be like when the market cap hits that of gold.
> rich people ("accredited investors") know enough to be responsible to take risks

This is a straw man.

The real argument: someone with more money is less likely to become destitute as a result of a bad investment. Also: someone with more money is less likely to become a political problem that shuts down the market, or a drain on the public purse, when they lose money.

When it comes to private investments, someone investing e.g. $10k cannot afford to do legal diligence. They are also unlikely to unilaterally pursue someone who sued them in court. That almost guarantees they’ll be the sucker in the long run.

The supply is only kinda limited though; most of it is controlled by a few accounts, and they could release more supply if they wanted to in order to do things like US monetary policy

I can buy overly expensive shiny rings made out of gold. The utility is purely cosmetic but it exists.

The worst thing that could happen to your gold is that it gets turned into jewelry at a fraction of its original purchasing price.

Many US grocery stores sell fully-cooked chickens with minimal spicing for about six dollars. These are loss leaders and are often less than half the price of an uncooked chicken.

Grocery stores also tend to bake their own bread, including basic varieties that don't include sugar, for a few dollars a loaf.

Add a can or frozen bag of vegetables and that's a pretty nutritious day's worth of food for relatively little money.
PS: makes me wonder if we might eventually see something like "tokens not transferred since ${some generous date horizon} will get blacklisted starting ${some era switch date reasonably far into the near future for living address to create a lifesign transcribe}" merged into mainline. Or even "get reissued to miners". If that ever happened it would be at a time when total supply uncertainty would already noticeably influence price (basically: if you use it as a value store you need to hedge against possible old god address revival), and most buying/selling during the runup would be bets about the amount of dark addresses lighting up in time.

PPS: obviously I have no idea about governance of the code, but I do acknowledge that very few changes have ever been accepted (as evidenced by the high number of long running forks). I wouldn't expect any of this to happen before the known alive amount of tokens has become a tiny fraction of the dark parts.

> Bitcoin and the Nakamoto Consensus is a breakthrough that provides a secure, global, uncensorable, decentralized store of value.

Most people don't seem to realize that a store of value is stable.

Today ( just as in 2017 till the pandemic) has proven that BTC/crypto is not stable.

It has more similarities with a MLM scheme ( not really backed by anything ( eg. Stable coins - tether), unregulated, limited withdrawals of your money on the exchange).

I don't believe anyone actually thinks BTC is safer while it's influenced by memes instead of actual market conditions. Well, except if the reason is greed and personal liability ofc.

Ps. The only reason to have some crypto coins is for diversifying your portfolio. If you consider the risks carefully, as with everything else.
No, if someone did that on IRC in the 90s we would immediately peg them as a loser from AOL. There was a lot of sex (and sexual harassment) on IRC, but pseudonymity was the default.

You can apply the same virtually as well: simulate a raytraced environment with 5.0 speakers and furniture, simulate an HRTF, and generate the resulting 2.0 audio.

>Whereas poor people are too stupid

I get the point you are trying to make, but in the world of stock trading, I'm definitely poor. However, I'm not stupid. I am smart enough to know that the game is rigged for those in-the-know. Much like the poker adage "if you can't tell how the sucker is after $shortTimeInterval, you're the sucker".

>make risky investments without turning into degenerate gamblers.

It seems to me that this is exactly what they want. Does having a gambling problem equate to stupidity?
Yeah I made a simplification so you can explicitly compute expectation values and see that there is no ZOPA, but in the real world there is a thing called opportunity cost and people do choose to stay unemployed while looking for job because some jobs pay too low. This is essentially what I tried to demonstrate in my simple example.
The successful Bitcoin end states are world peace or a Bitcoin nation state. Both are pretty far fetched.

If the trader is being honest, converting cryptocurrencies to stablecoins is a taxable event triggering capital gains. The IRS considers any exchange of one cryptocurrency for another to be a sale of a capital asset and purchase of another.

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with them a lot of the time, it’s just they are extremely, extremely naive and sometimes in their naive ness and lack of perspective say incredibly offensive things. You have to shrug it off like you are part of the in group even though they just insulted your family. No one told me about this part of the job in college.

>These are all irrelevant gotchas but also not particularly insightful.

Not irrelevant.

Don't get me wrong, I understand OPs point, but contracting out services is a very normal government function. And the line OP draws is arbitrary and he only does it for the feels.

>Their answers don't affect what we should do about companies profiting off of prison labor, at all.

That's not what's happening here. You're distorting for the purpose of an emotional appeal. A government contracts out a service, that's it. And it isn't a cart blanche. The process of how this services is executed, is still regulated by government agencies. The government sets all the rules.

>This point would be better made if you had any sources to back this up, at all.

I'm not the one making the claim that private prisons are immoral.

>Why are you so quick to defend profit?

This kind of talk comes from disaffected lefties who want to tare down the capitalist system. There is nothing wrong with profit. If you have an issue with some way that some private enterprise runs the business, then talk specifics, instead of impugning a market economy (what's the alternative? the humanitarian disaster that is socialism every time it's been tried?)

>It's pretty clear to me that allowing companies to profit off of prisoners is a perverse incentive

That's not clear AT ALL. That's just you engaging in hyperbole based on a hypothetical situation you dreamed up. You don't even know how the system works. It's just all about feels. It's like being against universal healthcare because it means that society is incentivized to euthanize old people lest they be a drag on tax-payers and society. That certainly is an incentive, but not very likely or reasonable in practice. So claiming a hypothetical incentive, is not evidence anything other than your creativity.

Pacing TCP is certainly on our roadmap. Our QUIC implementation MsQuic paces by default already.
Definitely. Here's a couple of things that hit me in the face when I use RH:

1) You open the app and the first view is the one-day graph with the bottom lopped off of the y-axis. This encourages day trading and reacting to tiny fluctuations in the market. If they want to encourage investing over gambling, they'd show you the long-term graph of your portfolio. Or maybe skip the graph and take me to the fundamentals.

2) They use the word "investments" to refer to crypto holdings. Crypto has never and can never be an investment, but calling it that subtly emboldens users to trade in it without understanding the risks.
>ost food deserts are in the poorer areas of the cities because nobody is bringing fresh produce in there to sell.

Talking about things that simply aren't true.... Every major city in the US has a large farmer's market present and typically more than one happening in neighborhoods all over the city. These cities also have free/cheap public transportation to get people to the farmer's market. Additionally, you don't need a farmer's market to obtain healthy food, supermarkets are just fine.

The is just trope along the same lines of black people can't get their own ID's or figure out the internet. It's an incredibly racist way of thinking. They're not stupid or incapable people. If they want to they can certainly obtain healthy food.
Most of them can. The USD likely can not
