Reminds me of this NatGeo Hostile Planet video on Cordyceps, a fungi that infects ants [0] It drugs the ant, takes control of its muscles, and forces it to climb up to a spot where there's just enough sunlight and humidity for the fungi to grow some more. 3 weeks in, the ant is all but a breeding ground of Cordyceps ready to unleash on other ants, with enough reach to wipe out entire ant colonies.

Here's the kicker, there are over 600 species of Cordyceps that infect a variety of insects.

May be the fiction writers have it wrong... It could very well be a Fungus that likely causes a zombie apocalypse, having evolved from lack of rain forests and crawlers to infest...

> People are not making $30k a year on unemployment. This is a total mischaracterization of what's happening.

The average, including the federal bonus, is currently around $32K/year equivalent.

You can get the statistics here: https://oui.doleta.gov/unemploy/claimssum.asp (Select US Total).

Comes to a little over $310/week average for recent months. Add $300 federal and you get $610/week, which is equivalent to $31.7K per year.

I'm not making up numbers. I'm just using the government-reported averages.

Your initial disbelief underscores why this conversation is so difficult: Most people don't realize that the current average unemployment payments have reached equivalence with US median incomes.

> and only for 39 weeks, and only if nobody offers the person a job.

The federal changes have extended the unemployment benefits well beyond the 39 week limit. Again, the current situation can't really be compared to traditional unemployment.

Also, being offered a job doesn't automatically end unemployment benefits because job offers aren't registered with the government. This only occurs if the UI beneficiary self-reports that they declined a suitable job, or if the company that offered them a job is suspicious and motivated enough to report the person to the unemployment office. The latter scenario would only occur if the employee admitted receiving unemployment and the hiring manager was motivated enough to seek revenge for declining the job offer. It can happen, but it's not like it's happening frequently.

> People on unemployment aren't dumb: they know unemployment going to end

Likewise, employers are not dumb. They know this extended unemployment is going to end and they're not interested in competing against it for the remaining few months that it will be active.
Yes, of course. No sense in presenting opinions without setting foot in Xinjiang with the blessings of a carefully monitoring government. Sure many celebrities and professors have disappeared for the last 2-3 years and China is trying to compel expat Uighurs to return to China. But I don't want to present opinions without setting foot in china. There are too many reports of Chinese soldiers entering homes whisking husbands away into educational camps and sleeping with the wives.

But irrespective of all these stories, I am firmly in your camp about my opinion. I see no reason to present my opinion without myself setting foot on the region.
You divide faster thanks to your language interpreters and compilers implementing thousands of algorithms like this which convert between arithmetic operations so you can have that speed. For example sometimes when you divide by specific numbers in C it gets compiled to equivalent multiplication and addition.

Your comment reminds me of this other thread, where people were bragging they could implement curl in a few lines of Python code, by first including a CURL-like module...
English also has the largest vocabulary. Granted, most of it isn't used in everyday speech but I encounter a lot of words in writing I don't see used in speech.

But why would you want to take (presumably) clean fiat on your coinbase account, exchange it for crypto, launder it, only to transfer back to your coinbase account? I'd presume anyone doing this is going to use the laundered money for illegal stuff, or at least transferring to some sort of offshore jurisdiction for tax evasion purposes. In both cases it won't be tied back to you.

This is a great one. I got mine about 8 years ago (whoa) and it’s a gift to yourself that keeps on giving. Mine shows no wear at all, really. Bearings in the barbell still roll smoothly, no rust, no gear getting flimsy.

I’ll admit I struggle at times to use it, but it has definitely saved more than it cost me now. I sometimes get a gym membership when time is limited and there’s a good gym near where I’m working. Convenience plays a huge role in my ability to work out. Having 3 kids at home makes the home gym really hard to use!
At one standards meeting, Pete went out to dinner with the Italians, to discover that only one of them spoke a little English. In an attempt to be polite, he told them, “Machina ipsam culturam non habet” (Latin for “the computer has no culture of its own”). The English-speaker replied, “Pete, there’s nothing wrong with your Italian, except that you use all those archaic words.”

The Thinkpad with two Trackpoints was ostensibly single user, but multi-hand, which applications still are not designed to cope with, let alone multi user multi hand/finger/trackpoint!

Given a program that supported multiple trackpoints, two people could use the two Trackpoints on each side of the keyboard, just like you describe with keys.

Now we have multitouch APIs on mobile devices, at least. But they're not a good match for supporting multi-mouse/trackpoint, since they only support tracking fingers while they're touching the screen, not pointing around without pressing like a mouse/trackpoint does.
Real life can be very dramatic and it doesn't make it less true to the people involved. Many people don't know to question the debtors, get overwhelmed, get bullied, and don't have the energy or resources to fight the onslaught of aggressive communications and serious looking mail they receive from these predators.
It’s not going anywhere as a protocol, but as a speculative asset, its price could fall dramatically if it were to be abandoned.

We should hope that happens because it’s holding up progress. It’s like people are flying around in replicas of the Wright brothers’ first airplane. Sure, put it in a museum but don’t fly the thing.

I used it when I was getting into frontend development, after years in the backend, and loved parcel for this reason. Webpack struck me as lunacy.

Unfortunately nowadays I work with create-react-app or Gatsby because parcel gives me huge bundles, or breaks with tree-shaking on.

Really excited about parcel 2 though, I tried the alpha and it didn't work for me but hopefully this does.

But at least GDPR /is/ tractable to implement at small scale. Whereas for the OSB: if you run a smallish but popular chat/blog/forum/etc service, there literally isn’t a solution for moderation which isn’t fiendishly expensive, privacy invasive, or both.

The legislation has clearly been dreamt up by folks saying “ah ha! if we threaten the Facebook UK executive mangement team with jailtime unless they do better at filtering self-harm/CSAM/terrorism/etc then they will obviously get their house in order!”. Whereas in practice they crush their own UK-based startups instead. So frustrating.

I am a technical cofounder and bootstrapped three companies: 2 acquired, 1 failed. I would not bootstrap a company in today’s climate unless you do not want to exit. The VC playbooks for growth are now mature, standard and effective. So being able to leverage the funds and execute a standardized revenue generating plan is important.

Bootstrapping mostly leads to extremely slow growth unless you have skilled sales expertise on team or get lucky. Which is not all bad unless you are looking for a 3 to 5 year exit.

Not sure where it's positionned in the build process, so the question might be silly, but : would it be something that a project like, say, 'create-react-app' could choose to integrate instead of / next to whatever they're using ? Or does it preclude using some popular framework / library that reserve it for greenfield projects ?
Unfortunately most "investors" aka gamblers aren't pushing coins with the best tech, but rather the coins that are most deflationary (and using the tech as sexy marketing to hook people in). Unfortunately deflationary coins just encourages everyone to never spend on actual stuff, simply hold onto it till they can sell it off to some other investor.
I'd assume that, as long as they're careful about how they pressure you, it's not fraud if you decide to pay. AFAIK they're under no obligation to volunteer that you don't have to pay them anything, or to otherwise educate you about the fact that they're (in fact) just begging for money they're not owed, and hoping you'll give it to them. But if they ask you (the aggrieved, in the middle of hosting family and trying to plan a funeral and figuring out how to pay all the bills you actually do need to, as a result of all this) to accept this debt and you say you do, and then they help you work out a very convenient and gracious payment plan for this debt you unthinkingly accepted because you're not a damn lawyer and you're kinda stressed out and debt collectors are scary and now it's on auto-draft for the next 18 months, well, that's above-board.

I've known people who've been on the receiving end of those calls, so they definitely happen, and must be profitable, one way or another.

Rob's (above poster) podcasts are often very good as well.

Disciplined Entrepreneurship books by Bill Aulet & his online courses (on either EdX or Coursera) are great.

Tons of other great amazing info, but incorporating your first business & talking to potential customers is an absolute must first step. Don't become another person who just reads about businesses for fun & dreams. You need to spend most of your time testing out ideas on people & trying to build your business. Books & videos are great for relaxing & edu-entertainment.
I think the main difference might be that in your house, if you season a pan and end up with lots of lasting smoke everywhere, or even an errant fire alarm, you own it so you can elect to not care. In an apartment, neighbors might complain.

> but why did there have to be a central server with the shared secret for every token on the planet?

Yeah, this struck me as a huge flaw. The breached system was used to create CDs full of IDs for customer deployment. For convenience the manufacturing system was almost but not fully air gapped. They retained the ID data in case the customer needed a copy in the future. However, keeping all of the IDs ever made on one system seems crazy.

If they had just deleted the data after backing it up to discrete offline media every week...

Hey HN!

API Bakery, a project I started two years ago out of frustration creating the same base setup and CRUD logic, is finally out of beta!

The idea is to save hours or days off of development time each time you start building a new API service or microservice, skip the project boilerplate and manual database model definition and start working on the important and value-adding parts.

We support Django so far, with support for NodeJS and PHP coming soon.

If you're building API projects often, or are a Django or Django REST Framework user, check it out - any feedback is appreciated and will help me improve the service!

You can tell that Clive Riordan, the villain in Edward Dmytryk’s Obsession (1949), is a thwarted and disturbed person because he owns an elaborate model railway.

...

[In Animal Crossing] They could also pay a visit to ‘Joe’s Train Town’, a basement room featuring an array of model railway sets. This touch was presumably meant to evoke Biden’s old-fashioned decency and pioneer spirit, while expressing a vaguely greenish, vaguely leftish regard for mass-transit infrastructure; I took it as confirmation that anyone who aspires to be Commander in Chief must have a Riordanesque streak.

What? Biden famously commuted on Amtrak to work for decades. That's what this was meant to evoke. That the author is so out of touch as to assert this nonsense above does not really instill in me any confidence in their ability to analyze pop culture and its relationship to the real world.

XM/Satellite radio. For all the talk about Netflix and Hulu and the like, I actually sit down to watch something on those services maybe once a week. But I listen to satellite radio every time I'm in the car. It's especially good for sports. No fumbling with streaming services. Just tune straight to the hometown game on the dial, even though I no longer live in my hometown. It's a bit strange to me that one never hears anything about satellite radio, anymore. It's a great service. The content options are good. And it just works.

SNOO Smart Sleeper. It's a $1400 smart bassinet and I was for obvious reasons dead-set against it -- after all, parents have been getting their newborns to sleep without a "smart sleeper" for hundreds of thousands of years, right? -- but after a few weeks of sleep deprivation I would have emptied my bank account for a good night's sleep. Our once-recalcitrant infant son fell asleep within seconds of first being placed in the SNOO. It really, really works. He's 4 months old now and mostly sleeps through the night.

There are a half-dozen examples on this very thread and in linked bug reports, with detailed explanations by professional compiler writers.

It wouldn't, but marketing based on an objective metric is better than inventing metrics or tying them to abstract concepts like a carbon tax (a carbon tax is a banker's solution to global warming, ie how can we profit from it).

A data sheet is cool because it makes a quantum computer (Google’s) really feel more real (it is real!), but with careful reading of the sheet and with knowledge of what the error statistics mean, you’d find the machine truly is—in most reasonable respects—not even close to as “useful” as even a handheld, solar-powered, four-function calculator.

Fiat's main advantage is monetary policy, arguably the most powerful economic tool a country has. I highly doubt countries like China and the US will willingly give that up. The reason Bitcoin has survived so long is because outside the black market it is only used for speculation (at least, in any practical amounts). If a highly deflationary coin like Bitcoin became a currency, we'd be screwed and very vulnerable to what happened during the great depression with gold-backed money.
