What evidence do you have for saying that? The commenter's history looks normal and the comment was relevant. Plenty of HN users go on about their enthusiasms. That's a good thing, as long as they don't do it excessively, which this user isn't.

HN's guidelines ask people not to post insinuations about this kind of thing. Internet users are massively too quick to read it into other users' posts, and it poisons the threads when they cross into accusing others.

Of course, if you're seeing actual evidence of abuse, that's different, and you should let us know at hn@ycombinator.com so we can investigate. Someone simply having different opinions or tastes than you is not evidence of abuse, though.

Oh yeah let's talk about how perfect is the enemy of better, when discussing an idea to bury victims of ransomware into the ground with government penalties on top of ransom and leaks.

Here's another thought in the same vein: let's penalize rape victims for attracting male gaze and not fighting sufficiently to avert contact. Sure, some women will get raped still, but let's not let perfect be the enemy of better. That's how they deal with it in some countries actually. They blame the victim. It doesn't reduce rape at all. In fact it reduces reported rape, because women don't want to face the legal and family repercussions of getting raped.

Let me tell you what will happen in the case of ransomware.

1. You get hit by ransomware.

2. Previously you'd ponder contacting authorities. Nope. They're gonna close your options and fine you either way. Keep your mouth shut.

3. Pay as quickly as possible and hope the word never comes out you were blackmailed at all. As far as the world and the government know, your security is fine, nothing happened. No fines, no lawsuits.

4. Result: ransomware proliferates and grows into the biggest organized crime organizations of this century.

How's that about not letting perfect be the enemy of better?

I am sensing some interesting capabilities here, but also get the impression that this is more about denormalized views of data (JSON/CSV/etc) than anything else. It's also in the name - 'Flat'.

Perhaps it is actually supported and I can't read properly, but I feel like you are just 1 tiny step away from allowing someone to write one of these things such that it can ETL any arbitrary data source into a SQLite database (i.e. many tables). There's not a whole lot of difference between CSV and SQLite when it comes to repository file management. Granted, SQLite databases would present as opaque blobs at code review time, but this is something we can tolerate because you still get all of the nice versioning & project consistency. Hell, you could probably write a special GitHub-branded diff viewer that allows you to compare 2 different SQLite databases, schema & all.

SQLite in general is such a force to be reckoned with. You could do a lot of damage (in a good way) with product features built up around the most popular database engine on earth.
There's a big difference: the Federal Reserve System lives in the real world, where node misbehavior (i.e. officers doing bad things) is punished with jail time, with ruinous downstream consequences on their families.

Wake me up when The DAO hacker is caught and put in jail, and I'll re-consider the analogy.
It's not quite so clear cut. Less and less hardware solutions can meaningfully exist without some software for it to provide the functions it was meant for when purchased. This is a slippery slope that brings together the right to repair & net neutrality law type arguments.

What's wrong with employing curbside "enterpreneurs"? Would you be happier if they were begging on the streets, stealing, went hungry.. Over here, some enterprising souls tend to "acquire" (often steal) copper cabling, burn the insulation (regularly poisoning the neighborhood) and sell the remaining copper. I don't see why you would mind people collecting discarded bottles to return for recycling.

On another point, I don't think people go homeless in pursuit of bottle enterprises.
Both of those things apply to pretty much every big company. As far as reputation as an employer goes, Apple is certainly ahead of Facebook and Amazon.

The companies are not entirely worried about the total results as they have other aspects to deal with (in fact, you'll sometimes find companies doing things they personally think are silly because "everyone" in the industry is doing it, and they need to be able to check off the box for the Board - example: "Why aren't we doing anything with this blockchain stuff").

They also have large resources and are willing to experiment in things (especially if there are incentives around it from government, etc) - and even if it fails entirely they'll likely get useful and actionable data and results that still can help the company.
It’s easy to think of it that way. But here’s another way to think about it: a manufacturer has two assembly lines for two different products which are sold at two price points. As they scale up production, they realize that they could realize significant economies of scale if they combine their assembly lines and only produce the more expensive product, but then apply an “artificial” limitation to half of those products so they can still sell to both markets. Is it somehow wrong for them to offer the same two product lines to the same two markets, but just with a more efficient manufacturing process?

That ship sailed long ago in the US if you use any exchange. Not using an ID is much, much harder now. And is kind of besides the point with a public ledger.
The fact that complexity exists doesn't excuse the additional unnecessary complexity added at every step of the tax filing. Nor the fact that it can't be done online directly with the IRS, without potentially malicious third-parties involved.
It seems like many of those issues would be solved by having a human write a comprehensive test suite, and then the AI would write an implementation that can pass all of the tests.

Eventually you could also have another separate AI that learns to generate the test suite itself from instructions given to it by a human (or even another AI!).

Most program implementations would not be perfect, but as we know, software written by humans certainly isn’t perfect either.
Yep, this enrages me. Deliberately introducing faults into a product to make it less appealing to one market segment in a desperate attempt to cover for their supply chain failure. Stinks to high heaven.

In addition the detection is not magic (it can't be) so there are going to be false positives. Can't wait until my games start dropping frames 30 minutes in because the driver decided my competitive FPS was actually mining crypto.

Imagine a headline like "Charmin introduces toilet paper that cannot be hoarded, to prevent shortages," and it's because the TP biodegrades after 6 months.
> tube and knob wiring

I was actually reading that properly done tube and knob wiring isn't much more dangerous than the current standard. The problem was that it had to be exposed to dissipate heat, which led to a lot of people working on their own electricity. Improperly done tube and knob wiring is drastically less safe than current standards when done wrong.

Fwiw, I live in a place that had tube and knob on the outdoor porch, and I hated it. Scared the shit out of me that it would get wet and start a fire, but it wasn't my house and I have no idea if tube and knob wiring is safe to get wet.
> (a) We have universal healthcare for those without income: Medicaid.

There are tens of millions of people who are eligible for Medicaid under the ACA, but they live in states that never expanded Medicaid under the ACA so they can't sign up for it.

Also, if someone makes more than $12k to $17k a year as an individual in a state that expanded Medicaid, they're no longer eligible for Medicaid.

This link title is extremely misleading to the point of being disingenuous and provocative. The title of the linked article is “Israel-Gaza: Why is the region blurry on Google Maps?”... because the entire Israel / Gaza / West Bank region is blurred in the exact same way. There is no preferential blurring of Palestinian areas.

My fault - it was a hasty decision to correct what was (perceived) as an error (based on what was perhaps a faulty, because hasty, reading of the title earlier). There's a lot going on in that region at the moment, and a lot of news to catch up on - that's where the haste came from.

The clear answer is to prevent actors on both sides from using Google’s satellite imagery to plan attacks against one another.

I somehow doubt that the motive is as clear as you suppose - but that's an entirely different matter.
I see no problem with it. I could see the argument that crypto is an existential threat to Nvidias business. If they lose a generation of PC gamers they risk that loss compounding years down the road as they and their children lean toward console. If they _want_ to serve those PC gamers first over crypto then they need to find ways to keep them as their customers.
This is not related to the example on the thread. If the other person after you didn't want the apartment, you could still get it for the price they were offering you. If the apartment was overpriced and still on the market after 6 months, you could get it for less.

Also, real estate is an exception because:

1 - there is actually scarcity. A building with 200 apartments only has 200 apartments.

2 - Some buildings are already (almost) full, so you can only get in when someone gets out.

But what I see here where I live are offers that are valid for a whole month or two. Of course, if all units are taken, then you can't get it, but if they have an unit available, the offer is good
Coding is all about understanding the concepts well and then practicing enough to develop critical thinking skills to figure out the logic for the problems at hand. The best way to do this is by self-learning and having one-to-one access to a private mentor when help is needed. Also access to thousands of practice questions and hundreds of projects helps. There are programs that have it setup like that.

You can do much worse things in a PoS system since power in the system is tied to the asset (ETH). Ethereum DeFi toys are hacked on a daily basis and millions upon millions of dollars worth of ETH is stolen.

It's exactly why the DAO hacker was censored -- they controlled more ETH than any single account in the system.

"Niche functionality" that is ballooning the price of their graphics cards for end users?

> adds the possibility that some workloads of non crypto currency origins fall foul of this in ways that may not be easy to discern.

So what? The proof is in the pudding. You buy things as they are sold, not with some kind of expectation that you can achieve 100% of the theoretical performance of some ideal version of the product. If I buy a car with a limiter that doesn't let me go over 100mph, I shouldn't be surprised or upset that I can't hit 105 mph.
Denting the performance that way makes them no longer cost effective for eth, but doesn't make them completely useless for any workloads (in games, or adobe premiere, etc) that happen to look like crypto mining - so they can avoid selling a completely broken card.
> Never had to dip into retirement or stocks though.

This may be a difference in perspective but, I consider my savings and my official 401k to both be "retirement".

Partly this is because, I only have a 401k from a previous company. My current employer doesn't have one, so any savings I have are my "retirement".
> The Tesla numbers are correct and verifiable

There are caveats. The lower end Model 3s hit their estimates pretty reliably. The Performance trim usually misses by a pretty big margin for most people. There are exceptions to every rule, but I owned a P3D and hung out with other P3D owners as well, and this was a commonly shared experience.
Maybe there is something wrong with our society that tends to cause organizational dysfunction and make it hard to do stuff. Perhaps it takes someone seriously atypical (maybe a little psychotic) to manage to build an institution that can actually accomplish things at scale in this environment. If there are 10000 well-adjusted bureaucrats standing between you and your aspiration to build electric cars and rockets, it will take some serious force of personality (a personality disorder?) to defy all of them.
> I've actually had some good experience with a salesman where he told me there was a limited offer, but if I could wait they would have a different offer next month, just on a different brand of equipment. Still not fully transparent but at least a little more honest.

I think that's good. They can't promise you any upcoming sale as they don't get to decide on that, but they know the sales generally come up on X day of the month/week.

GPUs have been doing this forever. This is exactly the same as some features being enabled on quadros that don’t exist on RTX/GTX/GT cards. That’s (mostly) not silicon, that’s just firmware.

This isn’t covering any supply chain failures (despite what nvidia says, the number of available GPUs remains approximately fixed), it’s just more market segmentation to minimize the secondhand mining GPU market and capture more dollars.

I was also concerned about detection false positives, but as far as I can tell they’re detecting a very specific algorithm that only gets used for ETH mining - there have been no false positives that I can see. Some miners are even working around the limiter by introducing obfuscation operations, but that comes with a hashrate cost of course.
Speaking as someone who has come to my tech career later in life (and after another career), this is absolutely correct. All industries have their problems: software is no exception, there are things that could be better. There are bad days, even bad months.

But at nearly 6 years in I still wake up every day amazed that I get paid as much as I do to do this thing that I really enjoy. With overall reasonable hours. Without having to deal with the general public. Considered an asset despite the fact that I cost so much and write bugs. And with people banging on my door constantly to get me to work for them. I feel extremely fortunate.
I feel like this article touches a lot more on the definition of what sleep is, rather than what people commonly refer to as sleep. I mean, what really defines sleep? I would've thought it is the temporary absence of consciousness in an otherwise conscious being. Or something along those lines. Of course that wouldn't make a lot of sense with medical comas and such.

So maybe sleep is just a, perhaps regular, phase in which an organism is 'inactive', that is, doesn't perform a lot of actions or waste energy. Energy is limited after all. From an evolutionary perspective, it might make sense to have an organism not be dependent on a permanently available power source. It'd be better to alternate between using a lot of energy and using less energy, because permanent sources of energy are rare or even non-existing. Depending on such a permanent source would starve the organism to death and hence it wouldn't evolve. So you get those intervals and they'll naturally evolve to synchronize to the phases of their energy source. And that's supposedly the sleep cycle?
The gradient we want is the gradient with respect to the process which generated the dataset. The gradient we get is an estimate based on only a handful of samples from that process at a time. The analogy holds up fine.

I want to both beef up the memory/processing power of my laptop and switch to Linux (which comes with built-in performance bonus of native Docker). So I am headed to ThinkPad anyway, but there's a chance Apple could keep me locked in if they make a nicely-powered proper dev machine with no damn touch bar.

Migrating to Big Sur has been a pain in the ass even though I am still on an Intel model.
Tons of Python language versions and packages are a total PITA to get built on Big Sur.

If this works (spoiler: it won't, it will be cracked within a month), it will create more e-Waste as miners will toss their no-video-output-mining-only cards after they're no longer the latest tech, instead of being able to resell them to gamers, thinning the used graphics card market, forcing more gamers to buy new from nVidia instead of rebuying old cards online.

That makes me angry, it should make you angry too.
Satoshi fixed a bug (that reverted it back to the initial rules everyone agreed upon).

The DAO hack actually was an exploitation of the rules that everyone agreed upon in the DAO, recursively calling a function in your smart contract layer is not a bug.

This brings us to an interesting topic, bugs are common in software,

* Should you make the protocol layer so complex that it increases the probability of bugs being found, being harder to understand and potentially grind the whole system to a halt if a bug is found.

OR

* Should you break them up into layers where each layer has one responsibility (base monetary layer, a smart contract layer, a micro payments layer etc.)
> The getting angry is just another sales tactic if the first one doesn't work.

is maddening. Do you guys really think we all just don't know what is going to provide the best experience?

It angers me too, and most people are definitely getting upset with the wrong party- it is not to say crypto miners are magically devoid of guilt or that there aren't issues with scalpers, but these are all, deep down, supply issues that have sprung due to an over-reliance on Just-In-Time manufacturing. Pandemic-induced shortages merely compound what was already a problem.
