On the contrary:

"Many generations of graduate students who might have been tempted to try to construct hidden-variables theories were beaten into submission by the claim that von Neumann, 1932, had proved that it could not be done. A few years later (see Jammer, 1974,p.273) Grete Hermann, 1935, pointed out a glaring deficiency in the argument, but she seems to have been entirely ignored. Everybody continued to cite the von Neumann proof. A third of a century passed before John Bell, 1966, rediscovered the fact that von Neumann's no-hidden-variables proof was based on an assumption that can only be described as silly." Mermin https://cqi.inf.usi.ch/qic/Mermin1993.pdf

No one is infallible, and this kind of mythical status has problems. Grete was dismissed, and Bell's paper only was admitted because the editor thought it was confirming Von Nuemman even. And even if von Neumman's proof wasn't as "silly" as Bell said, the fact that everyone else ran with it surely harmed quantum theory for a long while, reinforcing the Copenhagen side unjustifiably at the expense of others.
It's been great for hosting smaller ML models for the cost. Kinda loses its usability on larger models though.
It would not be quite as bad for other countries, as their own currencies would improve in relative value.

And it would be massively beneficial to whatever currency replaced it. Unlike nuclear war, there is potential for a winner. That is what makes this scenario somewhat plausible. Long term China’s objective is to replace the dollar as a world reserve currency.

A rapid shift would I think only occur after an alternative reserve currency were more obvious, and I think you’re right about a slow unwinding at first. However if it passed a tipping point the latter end of an unwinding scenario would I think be very fast.
Which browser storage options are secure and which are vulnerable to attacks?
Yes. This forced labor happens. Actually, this is the only form of slavery still allowed in the U.S. per the constitution.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
The US prison system is indeed practically slavery. However, that's not even the tip of the iceberg in terms of all the products and services being supported by slavery/servitude e.g. Apple, Nike, most clothes, electronics, and consumer goods, etc.

We had a brief period without slavery in the 1950s after WWII, and due to labor shortages wages went up and the middle class soared. Problem is, such a situation isn't good for capital, and capital makes the rules -- access to free labor makes workers compete for lower wages and bigger profit margins. Consumers love the lower prices, even though the wages stagnate and it will probably lead to a revolution or UBI at some point.

What was the placement rate for the candidates that you put forward? Based on your statements, I would expect this number to be very high, but from my understanding of the industry, including recruitment companies that do technical assessments, I would be surprised if it was that high.
The reason they are supply constrained is because miners are buying most (near all?) of the available stock.
Landlines or VOIP?
Some people, like my wife, will laugh a bit too often in formal communication, over banal things. If one didn't know better it would sound nervous. But I chalk this up to culture and upbringing. Apparently it's far less common in Germany to laugh after saying things, let alone your own jokes.

It's as you say, some people work hard to ensure everyone else feels at ease.
I think protocols are better than systems. Since matrix isn’t an RFC (yet?), I think there’s still value in using an open protocol over a particular system or project.

I think an open source project is more scalable and reusable than a proprietary one, but if the goal is long term communication among diverse users, then using a protocol is good.
Yes, I just saw it now (I hadn't finished reading through when I posted my comment).
The last 20 years has probably made (much) less difference than you appear to think.

From Wikipedia: "The rate of increase in the incidence of obesity began to slow in the 2000s".

But, to attempt to answer your question:
e.g., the expectation that both adults in a household will work means that people/parents are more likely to be time-poor and not able to cook. Cooking skills have been lost.
My (limited) understanding is Andrew Lee has been a large source of donations to Freenode for many years. As well as a significant benefactor to open source projects and founder of privacy focused services (PIA being one). So this ownership change may be simply an extension of that charity into a formal business arrangement.

I don't know the particulars behind-the-scenes, just trying to not immediately assume the worst.
A word of caution, from my own experience. Do not get hooked on the likes of these lists, they will accustom your mind to consuming creativity, rather than generating it yourself.

You should be doing your own lists!
> because you’re poor too.

Well you say that because you haven't visited greece ;). It's not the "spa" type of tourism, and those kind of luxuries are usually sought after by spoiled arabian princes. The aspirational SV person would choose one of the many hotels, book trips and food tours around the islands, or hit the beaches and the nightlife. In fact all-inclusive hotels are geared towards pensioners and budget-level UK teenagers.

But it's certainly not possible to do those in 3 days with jetlag.
HP calculators, back in the day. I've heard stories (perhaps apocryphal) of one that was run over by a car and still worked. Even if that one story isn't true, they were solid.
A bunch of people will probably move to libera.chat, some to Matrix, some won't care at all. Communities may splinter to smaller pieces. As for Freenode, it's not really clear what the new "owner"'s plans are and if they can administer it without the volunteers that left. I guess time will tell.

People are getting fatter and fatter. It is much worse now than 20 years ago, and even much much worse than 40 years ago. Any explanation you can come up with needs to be able to explain this as well. Does poor people have worse access to food today? Do they have less money for food today?

If we put poor people in the same conditions they had 40 years ago they would be slimmer than rich people today.
I have nowhere near any of these skills, and I know I'm not a specialist.
This is mostly what Plato advocated in The Republic, it inspired quite a few policies over the last few centuries.

The result is not as good as you might expect, this philosophy leads to aristocracy, not the most efficient form of government, by a long shot.

The sad part is I am actually having trouble distinguishing if this is a joke or not.

EDIT: yeah it probably is, the “bootstraps” quip, pearl clutching joke (followings by the price point bragging), the poke at the benches and mostly the joke about building unaffordable housing give it away, but there’s enough in their not to far away from serious suggestions I’ve read.

Being HN, people love to debate, and god forbid you give an in for moral high-grounding.

My student loans were crushing at one point. Now I require my friends and family to remind me the weight of a 'few thousands'. I feel drawn towards a bubble where I can do opulent activities without guilt. I've heard people say to me "yeah, eventually you just cut off those friends still working at McDonald's". I've never agreed - it takes an arrogant self-realization to agree with such a statement - but I've felt the gradual drift. The article is a good reminder in humility.
We visited some small town when I was a kid. They had rolling green lights. Their signs didn't say "speed limit 25". Instead they said "lights are synchronized for 25". Once you figured out that they were telling the truth, you drove 25.
> For example, one of the reasons that soccer/football is popular worldwide is because it's very cheap. Is it not so in the US?

No, but culturally soccer is played by middle class white people, not poorer people.
The ability to google for it and not just end up with 40000000 pages of movie results?
To be fair, Reddit itself is mostly to blame for the UX hellhole it's become. AMP certainly doesn't help but they have made so many shortsighted decisions recently wrt app nags etc completely of their own accord in their ongoing weird push towards engagement/monetisation.
I just find it so tedious when people spend their energy complaining, instead of making the best of their situation. At least when their situation is as good as hers.
The immediate explosion of the wireless market after the removal of the jack, and its timing alongside the concurrent announcement of AirPods, that is your answer.

You shouldn't be horrified at that complaint. If a company hints that it's going to be 150k when they hire you and it ends up being 100k that is a valid complaint. You are just perpetuating the don't talk about pay rule which benefits the company over the workers.
I'm also an android user and i never liked material too much. come to think of it never liked too much any of the previous android designs either. it's not that material is bad, is just bland and doesn't work for me. although i find the floating "+" circles positively horrible.
I couldn't care less about crypto mining and I think, right now at least, it's doing more harm than good. But I'm against putting artificial restrictions on general computing, whether or not I agree on the application. So, yes, I think it actually should be illegal for NVidia to do this.

For me, and I suspect many others in tech, this has more to do with introversion than anything else. When I cleaned for a cafe, I just wanted to focus on my task on hand.
For E911, the phone’s operating system will sent location information when dialing a emergency number.

According to the Wikipedia article, this data is sent separately to a different system that call centers can access. I would assume Australia is connecting to this system.
Seems like a pointless statistic, as solely arresting dangerous criminals instead of scores of harmless people would likely lead to a higher recidivism rate afterwards.
1. <Professor Farnsworth voice>Oh my, yes!</Professor Farnsworth voice>

I run a "CTO-for-hire" service with about 25 devs, product managers, and designers. I'd say at least a quarter of what we do is dropping in to rescue projects that have gone bad.

We're often treated like gold just for showing up, doing decent work, and bailing them out of a problem.

There's tons of work out there like this if you grow a reputation for being good and trustworthy, and you're willing to work through those really hard moments of everything being broken with no reason why yet. I'm 40 years old, and still just got the rush of excitement last week as I solved a major production problem for a company after a string of late nights. It's just fun.

2. Totally agreed about the value of other types of jobs as well. I will treasure my teenage and early 20s experiences as a Pizza Hut cook, Grocery cashier, and bet-taker at a race track for what I learned about those industries, how people work together, and the differences between intellectual and manual labor. As a salesperson, I also STILL reference knowledge from my experience in those industries when talking about new projects.
There goes my hope of being a 10x programmer...
https://status.coinbase.com/
Totally agreed. I have never actually learned anything from a quanta article.

They write articles with headlines like "Mathematicians discover new equation!!!" and then never even state the equation in the article, instead giving vague allusions to its content and significance.

What even is their target audience? People who like math but not enough to actually be shown any math?
It sounds like you're talking about adults. This article (and therefore my comparison) are about teenagers.

Make it a foundation/non-profit with some form of specific charter. Some sort of actual management structure with a board and distributed power. If you want even more safety have some sort of larger voting base that can replace the board via some process.
"Because they have never been poor, they had no idea what I might do. Why would I steal, when everyone clearly has enough?"

The assertion that "poor people are more likely to be dishonest" betrays a view of poor people that isn't very nice. Rich people are just as likely to steal if they think they can get away with it.
I sure hope so! ...Not only because "yay, more people on the matrix network"...but because it would bring even more devs and designers (and content writers for documentation!), which would bring continued improvements to the ecosystem of servers and clients/apps as well as the matrix protocol itself! (Obviously, massive shout outs to all who do this tough work already, but more eyes/hands makes the bucket of bugs shallow, right?) Plus, not unlike the spike in activity in 2016/2017 around the fediverse - primarily Mastodon, where nontrivial numbers of people started their presence on the fediverse away from FB, etc. - i hope lots more homeservers start appearing for folks to host their own matrix homeservers (or at least host it for/on behalf of their communities and such). And, if any spike in activity does not in fact occur, that's ok too...things seem to be growing slow and steady anyway for the matrix network. ;-)

Typical tech bubble bullshit. She doesn't even realize what real poverty is.
The notational value of derivatives is the whole point of derivatives. They wouldn't be traded at all if they were priced solely by the value of their underlying asset.
I wonder how much the volatility of cryptocurrency is influenced by the stability of exchanges. Does it make the price more stable by artificially restricting trading, or does it ultimately induce more panic?
I don't publish content on YouTube, but YouTube is also not intimate communication with friends and family.
Ask HN: Why are you pro/anti Bitcoin?
I’m a tech person who can’t understand if Bitcoin is just a fad that has no underlying value or if it’s the next internet. When it comes to transferring money I’m fairly happy with PayPal, Transferwise & stripe.

I’ve been following Bitcoin since 2013 but never made a serious investment as I’m not a believer. At the same time I can’t rule it out completely. Will fiat last forever or will it be replaced? Is crypto that replacement? Maximalists would have us believe that the USD will hyper inflate and Bitcoin is a hedge. But is it?

I’m using Bitcoin interchangeably with crypto. If you are for other crypto and not Bitcoin can you tell us why? If you are against it all can you tell why?

Just trying to get different opinions on why people believe / don’t believe in Bitcoin(or crypto in general)
More general: When you optimize for one schema of your data, you often de-optimize for other views of the same data. You can try to use views, denormalize, use materialized views, replicate, use document databases, unstructured data, etc., but you always remain in the realm how well the tradeoffs are fit for current and future requirements. You can go with very general approaches, like graph databases, which allow you to retain structure, though at the cost of complexity and less safety. It's still a tradeoff. Schema for graph databases may make sense, but then you need to setup good design and constraints dilligently after all.

What is easy to write now, could be difficult to change or read later. What is easy for one developer, could be confusing to others.

The grass is always greener on the other side, so the lure is to go in circles over time.

This is the bread and butter anyways, as how we use computing always changes. Experts deal in complexity, so others don't have to. But even if we want to, it's hard to escape. Just thinking hard and long about these problems takes time nobody is interested in paying for.

I have had these scam delivery text messages. On one occasion, I almost fell for it because the scam text message coincided with an expected parcel delivery.

One of the problems is that the link shown in the text message masks the URL of the duplicitous website. This is in contrast to desktop browsers, where you can see the destination URL of the link text in the browser status bar before you click on the link. In a text message, this is not possible.

People tap the link in the text message which opens the link in their mobile browser. Few people, I suspect, look at the URL in the browser address bar. And if they do, the small size of the browser address bar will show only a portion of the URL - the portion of a URL that may not arouse suspicion.

Another question: how do these scammers get mobile numbers? I suspect there are many online personal data breaches which are never reported e.g. a breach from an online retailer, or maybe a friend with your contact details who has been hacked.
I think what the author is getting at is that at many office jobs that lower-class folks work at, on your last day you'll be "walked out" by security to make sure you don't steal anything, "cause a scene," etc. The implication is that this is something that happens to lower-class workers, but not upper-class workers. And the "lower-class" job comes with low pay, and thus: poor. That's the logical connection I get when reading it.

As someone who used to work in a "lower-class" (and low-pay) tech job (outsourced tech support, but the outsourcing firm was in America) - this is how they treated employees when they resigned (and when they were fired). It resonated with me, and I do not think it's a particularly rare thing in "lower-class" white-collar work.
I have been on Freenode for the last 10 to 20 years but I have absolutely no clue what this is all about. Neither this resignation letter nor the last explains it very well other than that the resigning staff apparently wants me to quit Freenode and join their network instead. I see no compelling reason to do so. Understanding whether there is some "substance" to this drama appears completely impossible. [removed snip] Really, if you can't explain why your cause is just to someone like me, who cares a lot of software freedom, you will not reach a majority of Freenode's users either.

The problem with this approach is that it is too dependent on the goodness and honesty of said teachers. Anytime you rely more on human beings, you also bring in the typical human problems like self-interest, politics, biases, connections etc.

Your approach is not going to work in a country like India. We are a resource-starved nation where people have the mentality of securing every little advantage they can find for themselves without spending half a thought about social consequences. What happens if I am a talented student but I go to a school in a smaller town and references from teachers there carry a lot less weight that teachers from famous schools. What happens if my math teacher wants to promote a student of his own caste over other more qualified students. Will secondary-school teachers with laughably low salaries not feel incentivized to sell their recommendations to the highest bidder?

In a country where most systems are fraught with such human problems from head to toe, the beauty of JEE is that it is a completely objective system.

People forget, or don't understand, or don't care about the maintenance. Sure, it's easy to use unstructured data _now_, or in a week. But when the original maintainers have moved on, or not documented how it works, and a year from now when people are making changes, it becomes a slow slog to try to wade through the reality of the data to try to understand how it works and not break anything. Repeat this for every new engineer, for every change that needs to be made, forever. It's a gigantic time sink.

I do not trust what comes out of Google PR vs what their engineers do behind the scenes. They've been caught in the past doing nefarious things or just a general disconnect/interpretation between what they say and what they do.

It seems to me like this is a shortcoming of the English (and American) legal system, where non-profit organizations and such can only be founded as "regular" companies and then tax-exempted. This means they are still subject to all the normal procedures surrounding companies like sales, and still tend to have one or a few owners who are solely in charge of everything.

By comparison, many other European countries (Germany, France, Sweden, Belgium, …) have specific types of legal entities for associations that have appropriate restrictions on what can be done with them. For example, they can generally not be sold, are required to be internally democratic with fixed statutes, usually (but not always) have open membership and an elected board. I think that would go a long way to fixing these recurrent issues.
