> I believe 1TB FireCuda Model NVMe SSDs have something insane like a 1800 TBW rating when I was looking a couple weeks back.

This is still only a couple hundred 100GB plots (the smallest possible size).

"Chia SSDs" being made are something like 12000TBW.
Briefly: solar and wind energy requires sun or wind and tons of space relative to fossil/nuclear. Not every place has those.

The biggest driving factor is overexposure to news & social media which convinces otherwise well-off and content people that the "other side" is out to destroy their lives, so they must do something about it.
Source? That's not in line with my experience of the company.
I wouldn't use these for AR, but just as a display. It would be really nice to be able to just walk or sit or lay in nature, and work there, with a combination of AR glasses and chorded keyboard. Too bad they killed Google Glass.
>That's completely irrelevant because you're not supposed to stash it in a mattress you're supposed either spend it on basic needs or to invest it.

Says who? And why has saving become something only stupid people do? This idea that you MUST invest is pure evil and is designed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
This appears to be the thing that will finally take my sites offline.

I'm an individual who runs 300 forums. I do this because I believe that forums organised around an interest bring people together and help address loneliness. Further I believe that if you do that, you also help minimise the impact of depression and things like the suicide rate for middle aged men.

The forums are things like this: https://www.lfgss.com/ Cycling related. So that people come together, build friendships, and take those friendships into the real world through the interest - to go on a cycle ride.

I can't really see how I could comply with this bill at a low cost (the forums all run a deficit that I cover), and even if I did the paperwork side of things there are risks created that come with large and scary penalties for me... too large for me to consider bearing them.

There is no exemption I fit in... I run forums, and these are defined by the bill as being a regulated service.

I wasn't using a weird TLD. It was a .us that only my family uses.

That's not how it works. Taking advantage of UB doesn't change the semantics, it just exposes which behaviors were never in the semantics to begin with. Barring compiler or spec bugs, we do in principle know exactly when the compiler may take advantage of UB. That's the point of a document like the standard- it describes the semantics in a precise way.

To be fair, the existing semantics are certainly complex and often surprising, and people sometimes disagree over what they are, perhaps even to an untenable degree, but that's a very different thing from being unreliable.
Research of impostor phenomenon in IT (survey)
Please help us research impostor syndrome phenomenon:

https://research.sc/participant/login/dynamic/C82FB35F-CDC7-4E81-9396-ADA8F79DAA7B

Research shows that more than 50% of professionals, both men and women, have experienced the Impostor Syndrome (Leonhardt et al., 2017).

Can you relate to such thoughts and feelings:

“I feel like a fake”

“I was lucky, but everyone thinks I’m really good at it”’

“With every new success I’m getting more and more scared to screw up my next assignment”

“My anxiety keeps me procrastinating and now I’m working like a maniac to catch up”?

Participation can make you more aware of how you or your colleagues feel.
When you discuss impostor feelings with others it brings relief and reduces (!) them (Lane, 2015)
Organisations which recognise the Impostor Syndrome and support their workers report higher job satisfaction.

Exactly, cash has an opportunity cost which is the interest not earned by holding cash instead of investing it at the risk-free rate, and this is true regardless of whether there is inflation or not. Therefore what makes cash a sub-optimal savings vehicle is the existence of risk-free investment opportunities with a positive rate of return. Nothing to do with inflation.
My guess is because they're not really an alternative because they don't produce the same numbing effects many people seek in ethanol consumption. Also, they are still illegal, stigmatized, and difficult to find in many places.
Can anyone explain a simple explanation of how chia works? I tried reading the White Paper ("green paper"), but its a little dense and math-y.

What is plotting? How does farming a plot work?

Edit: Why do people plot with SSDs? Is there a speed element to it?
They would be abandoning some incredible watersheds[1] if they did. That's probably the point of this whole project, to put a huge chunk of western water resources under the control of a single state amenable to white supremacists[2].

That's a good point. However, it's arguably only hard to use to do modern software development which is a complex use case for a low level language. At least in all my time doing C (>10yrs) I can reduce most of my gdb usage to analyzing core dumps by doing a few simple things: print backtraces per thread, moving up/down the stack and printing variable values. The rare situations I've used it for 'stepping' through code, is also just a few commands. The code itself is where the complexity is at that point that gdb itself is the least of my concerns.
Eh not really true as they've explicitly stated every single swap / transaction for crypto should be reported vs having any sort of threshold
Then use such a tool, but don't call it C, rather -std=gnuc-opt11, which always knows better than the author, without any warning.

Call it randomC, unsuitable for professional programmers, but extremly suitable for benchmark games and managers. Who prefer to ignore pesty overflows, underflows, memset, memcpy, dereferencing NULL pointers and other rare cases.

Those voters will be surprised by Idaho's tax burden. Higher than OR and WA, closer to national norms. Very reasonable.

I've been pitching the idea of an astroturf (fake) tax revolt campaign in Eastern WA, demanding the commies in Olympia adopt a proper conservative tax regime like Idaho's. IIRC, WA State's yearly tax revenue would then be $3b greater.
> I'm guessing a lot of people here were never exposed to a world like DOS

Which is why, 16 years ago, I took over that article and fleshed out a stub into something more descriptive, with examples and so on. :-) I'm rather pleased to see it on the front page of HN.

CUA is a lot more pervasive now than people appreciate, I suspect. It's what unifies the designs of KDE, Xfce, GNOME, LXDE/LXQt, Enlightenment, and so on. Mac OS X is closer to it than classic MacOS was. There are visible traces of it in Haiku.

In fact it's almost easier to point to UIs that don't have much trace of it -- aside from touchscreen ones. There are Oberon and A2,. There's Plan 9 -- but its successor Inferno is more CUA-influenced.
> a bunch of people living in population centers far away

"Far away" being "within the same state"?

> "telling them how to live their lives"

Yes, tell us the horrifying tales of distinctive micromanagement the people of Eastern Oregon have to suffer from.

If you live in society featuring representative government and rule of law, no matter where you live you'll run into a situation where you won't be part of the plurality.

And yes, frequently, "population centers" are going to be where the majority of people live, which means in any state, you're going to have the same problem. Which means this complaint is essentially about the idea that certain minorities get that they should have the right to impose their values on the majority.
...and we know what happened to Google Reader.

Hopefully having this be a feature on an established product instead of a separate product will ensure it sticks around for longer.
Do you notice that you've defined your own viewpoint as rational and supported by data and the viewpoint of others as "probably focused around emotions"?
Some people think Chia is so much better because of it uses SSD / Storage rather than GPU. I think this could be far worse.

Not everyone needs a GPGPU, but everyone need NAND and SSD. And it already causes price hike for SSD we will soon see something similar to chip shortage. The DRAM Fab which could be quickly retooled to NAND will be part of this equation as well.

This is not good.
>"Your narrative is as harmful as it is straight-up wrong."

I don't know what narrative you are alluding to. All I was trying to do was provide a human relatable example of how much inflation had happened over three generations. Sure, each individual dollar has less purchasing power but that's supposed to be balanced out by having more of those dollars. But if the reporting threshold doesn't also inflate then you've got an issue.
California has some very diverse areas with very diverse people with very diverse needs.

I'm not necessarily in favor of splitting California up, but it does make sense to have several smaller states that can better care for the needs of their constituents vs. what we have today where two major cities tend to drive the politics and priorities of the entire state.
What is the typical response to "if you don't like it leave"?

Why isn't "if you don't like it leave" a productive suggestion in pretty much any case?

Per the guidelines of this site, we are recommended to take the most charitable interpretation of the other commenter's post. Similarly, you could pay more heed to the more nuanced arguments of the other political side, and just ignore the non-productive arguments like "if you don't like it leave." Throwing that suggestion back over the wall, isn't going to lead to a productive conversation.

Neo-nazis and other racial separatists explicitly advocate for the pacific north west to be their home, as they consider it to be the furthest from Atlanta, which they consider to be majority black. The PNW is also home to Christian nationalist terrorists like Matt Shae, who advocate forced conversion and murder of non-Christian minorities.

Fun fact: Oregon arrests and prosecutes minorities more aggressively than every other state in the nation.
Good on the author for noting that while common now, the practice of dumping passwords in memory (a la Mimikatz) was not common until some time after this attack.
On the subject: I highly recommend "The culture map" book.

It provides a dozen of dimensions on communication and compares on real world examples how American, German, French, Chinese, Japanese and several other nationalities approach certain situations, and summarizes each dimension with a scale and puts each country in the left/middle/right.

It talks things like "why X are so aggressive and direct" and "why Y are so $adjective".
> Say that Google would need to hire a million full-time moderators (in practice it's probably more)

You can't use made-up numbers to prove your point. Approx 800,000 hours of video are uploaded to Youtube every day. Watching all of those in full at normal speed would require only 100,000 full time mods, but that's just about the dumbest way to go about it, so in reality it will be much less.

> it won't be sustainable for a hundred companies

> bad actors can just post the same content on multiple platforms automatically

You'll have to reconcile this fatalism with the myriad of smaller communities managing spam and moderation just fine. Millions (not "hundreds") of topical forums (incl. independent ones, and on platforms like reddit) are doing fine, often without full time or paid moderators.

> if you wanna upload something you have to pay a fee for moderators to look over your video and certify it as safe.

Since no one will opt-in to that willingly while free alternatives exist, you're essentially proposing state-mandated censorship. No thanks. I'd rather Facebook / Youtube just die if their consolidated asses can't keep up with what they created.
If you had been the creator there would still be absolutely nothing you could do to prevent a fork. You could throw a hissyfit and scream all you want on Twitter, but the fork would still happen.
For me, and maybe this is just my organization, but the new O365 OWA interface is extremely slow. Latency is so bad that typing results in only 1 in every 4-5 keystrokes not failing to register.

If I pretend my user agent is from circa 2012-2013 (e.g., Internet Explorer 10), it will default to an older interface that has marginally fewer features and is much, much more performant.

Does anyone else get just a little bit sad that we will not be around to see actual practical advances made with wormholes?

I wonder if this is what people in earlier centuries felt, a bit of melancholy at the dream that hundreds of years from now someone may be able to walk on the then newly-discovered moon, and knowing they would not be around to see it happen.
Yes, I can definitely relate to this.
English is not my native tongue. I’m acutely aware of the presence of other non-native speakers in the room and instinctively switch to simple terms and avoid the use of colloquialisms. Native speakers generally do not have that instinct.
Yes I absolutely agree. An to anyone worried about the electoral college and senate, well, those are salvageably crap, and stuff like this will put on pressure for reform or at last "heighten the contradictions".

Even more simply, here's a wonderful grand bargain: DC statehood return for California, Oregon, and Washington boundary shifting. I would take that in a heartbeat.

(PR statehood could sweeten the deal, but leftism says PR ought to be independent, and plain non-ideological pro-democracy me says PR should have a binding statehood vs independent referendum that isn't subject to boycotts to determine what Puerto Ricans actually want.)
In proof of work, the rich also get richer, but they just spew tons of co2 while doing so.

Anyway, what doesn’t work this way? Have you ever heard of stocks, or interest on a loan or bank account?
> For some odd reason the 'Chia burns out hard drives!' is getting repeated as the fashionable fud.

No one is claiming that Chia is burning hard drives. He is intentionally being misleading. Chia absolutely destroys consumer SSDs.

You wrote a lot about the issue in general without actually addressing the claim. We don't have an objective measure while interviewing software engineers. Any too specific test will fail on some good hire during an interview. On the other hand generic tests need to adjust as you interview so they're subjective.
Would you still favor this trnsparency [sp] if it’s shown to sometimes benefit individual politicians at the expense of their would be constituents?

Just Devil's Advocate, but wouldn't that be the best outcome? If it showed to which company every tax dollar went. Who the principals are in those companies. And the connections those principals have to politicians allocating the dollars?

Especially if it showed this for every dollar, I'm finding it hard to see a downside. Am I missing something?
I'm not a maths guy, can you clarify why you're so certain? Your post lacks evidence or details so, as a layman, I don't know what makes you certain.
It honestly really depends what you're into and the kind of person you are.

For me I hit the usual touristy places like Shibuya crossing, Shinjuku Garden, Akihabara, etc.

But I also love baseball, so I went and caught a Yomiuri Giants game at Tokyo Dome. Even if you're not a baseball fan, it is super cool seeing how differently they participate as a crowd of fans at games. I also enjoy just walking around neighborhoods, so I spent time just taking the train to different areas and exploring the lesser-known areas that tourists don't commonly visit. I love car-related stuff, so I rented a car for a few days and went to some popular car-related places.

There are also plenty of food spots you can visit depending on what tastes you have. Cheap or more expensive.

There are fun areas like Odaiba City/Beach (with its own Statue of Liberty statue, smaller scale and a Gundam suit thing near the shopping mall).

If you plan during a specific season, like spring, you can go to find the cherry blossoms. Spring is usually incredibly crowded because of that, but with the right planning you can somewhat beat the crowds to certain popular spots (or find unknown spots that tourists won't visit but still have many blossoms).
Heh, not a lot of Teslas down there. More like F-150 city.
The App store top charts are mostly broken. The iOS top free / paid games are a mix of old games (like Geometry Dash and BTD5) and absolute garbage (see https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rob-master-3d/id1561184462). The top free apps are all common social medias except for some random video editor (Cap&Cut). Other categories and the Mac App store are usually worse, because there are a lot less apps.

Part of it is just the lack of apps and games I really need in general. But the iOS app store has curated tabs which have much better content. Top charts just aren't that meaningful.
Tons of studies show that weed effects emotional processing, increases risk of of sudden psychosis, and yes, even gray matter loss. [1] This idea that weed is safe due in part to its associations with "Nature" is really a social fabrication. People just fought for another thing they wanted to imbibe that wrecks us in another, not necessarily equivalent, way.

Personal experience is it's one of the few recreational drugs I can't handle as I experience extreme paranoia, rarely terrifying out of body experiences, and always an inability to speak, which is extremely uncomfortable as I deeply value my ability to communicate.

New SSDs Have Built-In Protection Against Ransomware, Data Theft

I dare people to try to find article they saw on Reddit a week ago. It's pretty much impossible. The built-in search feature is worse than useless and even Google's index struggles unless you remember the title exactly, and even then it can be a crapshoot.
Yes and no. As I understand it, there are two parts: you create plots which take up a certain amount of disk space, and then farm those plots indefinitely, and only the first plot creation part is extremely I/O intensive. So what a lot of people seem to be doing is creating the plots on SSDs and then moving them to cheaper spinning rust hard drives once created, and it's this that can apparently destroy consumer SSDs relatively rapidly (so long as you have much more storage used for Chia than the capacity of the SSD). I don't think just creating a plot or two in the spare space of your consumer SSD and leaving it there farming away would be a huge problem.
They sort of can. There are CDs, treasuries, money market funds. Interest rates at the moment are pretty awful and I'm pretty much out of all that sort of thing. But they do exist.

Having good information accessibly presented is helpful but when local news outlets are owned by Sinclair Media[1] and Fox News is the most watched cable outlet for the conservatives that live there the facts really don't matter.

We can bend over backwards to explain how helpful the valley is to them but it's going to fall on ears which don't want to listen.

I'm not saying they shouldn't be provided for, they 100% should, just them actually leaving will do more to show them the inefficiencies of a conservative super state.

Short of that the most effective way to change the information disconnect is actually address the source of the issue: media.

When I had two identical big monitors with thin bezels I placed them side by side vertically. Then I had one marvelously big almost square monitor. In Windows it was not ideal, but workable.
