When the PoW chain ‘pow’ forks into pow1 and pow2 with both sides claiming to be the original ‘pow’, the general public can compare the cumulative hashrate of pow1 and pow2 to ascertain legitimacy (see: Bitcoin v Bcash, 2016).

In PoW, external input to the system — electricity — powers hashrate. Electricity is altogether foreign to the context of cryptocurrency, and by necessitating the wasting of electricity on one fork over another, PoW consensus systems ensure miners can vote on only one side of a fork without bearing additional costs.

When the PoS chain ‘pos’ forks into pos1 and pos2, however, with both sides claiming to be the original ‘pos’, there is no hashrate to base our decision on. External inputs are never burned in any PoS chain’s forward progress.

If a Bitcoin v Bcash political fork were to unfold in a pure PoS context, the general public would be faced with a situation where both pos1 and pos2 chains were equally secure. If pos1 claimed to be the rightful heir to the ‘pos’ title while defensively slashing pos2 sympathizers, it wouldn’t harm pos2’s ability to make forward progress on the pos2 chain while pos2 also slashes pos1 sympathizers and equally claims to be the rightful heir to the ‘pos’ title.

It’s as if an OSS project forked with both forks claiming to be the real thing. If both sides are steadfast, it is ultimately up to the public to pick winners and losers based on nothing besides social signaling. See: 2015-2017 block size debate in Bitcoin for pitfalls to this.

Notice how no math is involved whatsoever in the decision to pick pos1 over pos2.

Notice how human intervention is inherently required to reach a decision as to which side of the pos1/pos2 split is given title to ‘pos’.

Pure PoS consensus is substantially similar to Git repos. If people are just going to trust a nebulous human hierarchy to resolve disputes like this, then the system is de facto permissioned, and a public blockchain isn’t required.
Same here. This is one of the biggest selling points for macOS as a power user. I've used Windows and linux for years, and continue to do so on a daily basis. But on macOS, one can absolutely fly due to the consistent keyboard shortcuts.

- Standard keyboard shortcuts across all apps: done

- Standard Unix/bash shortcuts for moving the cursor/manipulating text: done

But, to the OP's point, unless you invest the time to learn how they work in macOS, they'll largely remain hidden and unknown.

When helping friends and colleagues transition to macOS, explaining how keyboard shortcuts work (and how powerful they are!) is the first thing I do--followed by the window/app paradigm, and then Finder.

As far as discoverability, you can use Command+Shift+/ pretty much anywhere. That keyboard shortcut displays the Help menu for the current application, with the search box already focused.

So, for example, in the Mail app, if you wanted to forward an email:

Command+Shift+/. Start typing "forward"

Then hover your mouse over the "Forward" result. You'll immediately see the location in the menu bar, along with the corresponding keyboard shortcut: ⇧⌘F (Shift+Command+F), in this case.

And, of course, Command+; will open the Preferences for any application.

Apple actually has fairly great documentation on standard keyboard shortcuts [0].

From the section titled "Motivation": "Copying files through Dropbox is not secure against the Dropbox server [and results in ...]"

Let's say a user encrypts a file outside of Dropbox, using a program of the user's choice, then she transfers the encrypted blob to Dropbox.

Is the author suggesting this is "not secure against the Dropbox server". I am not a Dropbox user. I know it was originally for syncing folders and they orginally used an rsync library and that is about all I know. Pardon the ignorance.

Magic Wormhole by default uses hardcoded host:port for a rendezvous server and a transit server operated by [undisclosed].

"The URL of a public server is baked into the library for use as a default, and will be freely available until volume or abuse makes it infeasible to support."

This Github page is only for the client, not the servers.

In the section titled "Dilation", we are reminded that MW is store and forward by default, not direct connection.

How are messages stored on the default public MW server operated by [undisclosed] "secure against [undisclosed]" in a way that messages stored with Dropbox are not "secure against Dropbox". Maybe the author only uses MW with private MW servers, not public ones run by other people. Then his comment about Dropbox would make sense. However I have to wonder, how many new MW users are running their own servers.
Is CMYK used anywhere except printing still? Nowadays print media become rare, thus the need for its support is less. Just my non-expert opinion.

The email spec considers these different emails. It's not a websites job to worry about how an individual host treats them. Gmail also treats . in the user section as useless but most hosts do not.
It's also that OEMs and carrier had absolutely no way of customizing Win Phone.

Samsung's dream is for you not to buy an Android phone that happens to have been built by Samsung but a Samsung Phone running Android. That's why they try so hard with their vocal assistant.

Win Phone offered OEMs the option of shipping glass slabs that were competing on price and specs (just like the PC market!) while Microsoft would own all the value added on top. By the time Microsoft started shipping it's own hardware, it was too late.
In a simplistic sense.

It's unfair for both parties.

But one party made a choice and should therefore bear the unfair cost of their choice.

In your vision of it, perhaps. Citizen's United, however, has already decreed that corporations have free speech rights like everybody else.

> Average = mean.

No, Average is any measure of central tendency, which include all of the median, mode, and the various means (harmonic, geometric, arithmetic,...), as well as some others.

The mode is the most broadly applicable, since (at least if you accept multiple values) it is well-defined on any, even merely categorical, data. The median requires ordinal data, and the various means tend to require at least interval-level measures (some of them require ratio-level measures.)

The arithmetic mean seems to be the most common grade school mathematics “average”, possibly because its the one that does the most to exercise basic arithmetic skills. But its rarely, when distinct from the median and mode, the most useful, and often doesn’t match the intuitive understanding of “average”.
If you sleep long enough and the problem is important enough, someone else will solve it.

This seems difficult. What is the 5G latency chain like in practice?
This is cool. I adore the animation. I think you can tell how the data's a bit skewed by the HN audience so far as a result of 79% thinking they're more progressive than average. That question doesn't have the same type of subjectivity as how you smell, for instance, because anyone who's progressive at all in some way can correctly answer yes to it.
> Unfortunately other STDs can have serious side effects

You're not technically wrong. It's just that up until very recently the ones not preventable by vaccine (HPV, albeit stupidly expensive for men to get vaccinated for which of course means that men don't get vaccinated for it) were mostly immediately obvious and always easily solved by a single dose of antibiotics (basically everything except HIV, HPV, and herpes, which isn't life threatening).

Our impending antibiotic resistant apocalypse is of course terrifying.

I think the big 5 personality traits are a good lens to view your question.

Of the big 5 personality traits, neuroticism and conscientiousness seem the most relevant here, to manifest these behaviors.

I think being high in neuroticism and low in conscientiousness are the key markers.

Given that everyone is on the neuroticism and conscientiousness spectrums at different points, no, not everyone is like this. Or, rather, some people are so unlike this that it's probably unfathomable to them/they can't comprehend it.

This is an excellent idea and I look forward to browsing it when you start! Also as you’ve already conceptualised as a wiki - don’t worry about organising it perfectly, you’ll never figure it out yourself. Let the community (which you will bootstrap by contributing your knowledge) do that for you. Oh and just “TheDevopsWiki” is a great name.
I suggest you read the whole thing carefully. "Allegation of misrepresentation" section in particular. It appears that no fraud had been committed.

"The new court filings contend that since HSBC was made aware that Huawei and Skycom were operating in Iran...".

The slides proving that were however removed from the US submission to Canada.

Further to that: "In October 2020, a judge blocked an attempt by Canada's attorney general to dismiss parts of the extradition case,[121] allowing arguments for the misrepresentation of Meng's case to move forward.[122]"

So it appears that earlier ruling in regards to fraud does not hold much water.

Good to know, this probably explained why the notionally transparent artwork was imported with a white background. But the fact that it’s not a true .ai import I don't think this is ever going to be a concern to me because I never use SVG to typeset flowing blocks of text. The main things I'm concerned about are:

1) Path and style integrity

2) Artboard dimensional integrity

3) Export file quality

In my testing, I was able to open a file I had edited and saved in Illustrator, export it as an SVG, it was an utterly pixel-perfect drop-in replacement for a previously exported SVG. I was also able to confirm that all of the SVG files I care about can be opened directly, edited and exported with no errors. That's enough for me to confidently say goodbye to Illustrator forever. It's robust enough that I know I can deal with the occasional import glitch if it ever does happen.
Interesting. I assume you have a single email address, so you can't tell the source? (I have a catch-all at my domain ⇒ I use a different email for each site, which is how I know which addresses generate spam). Is your address posted publicly in plain-text somewhere?
Other way 'round.

> All the experts I listened or read to, they told that instruction set doesn't matter and it is the insignificant thing. The part that matters is branch and data prediction, and caching. Also, even intel transforms an instruction into RISC like microinstructions internally.

That's commonly repeated, but is a misunderstanding. Up until this point the difference was mostly that an x86 decoder took up more chip area, which given Intel's historical leads in process tech was no big deal to them.

However now we're pushing chips to go wider than ever. Intel and AMD haven't been able to push past a 4x superscalar decoder. The instruction set just has too many potential chained dependencies to make it work. You'd have to slow cycle time or introduce additional pipeline stages such that performance in the net is worse. Meanwhile M1 decodes at 8x.

This dovetails into what you're saying about stalls caused by prediction and caching. Once the stall is resolved M1 can race ahead, assigning work into the shadow registers at potentially twice the peak rate.

You're being a bit hyperbolic about Windows backwards compatibility. Much of the enterprise software world is still running programs that were written against windows XP just fine, and MS is not going to rock that boat any time soon.

The big difference with Apple's transition is precisely due to the translation (note not emulation). I've lived through 3 of their ISA changes now and they've all been nearly seamless. The big difference is Mac users have been ok with sunsetting the old apps ~5 years after the transition, something that's a total nonstarter in Windows land.

Rosetta2 is so stinking fast I have not even had to think one whip about what's native vs translated.
Yeah, this is the truth right here. Capitalism isn't a system that optimizes human happiness. It optimizes production and profit, which can be correlated to human happiness, but in recent years it has become more and more detached.
Looks like it uses a "Yocto" script - https://github.com/elk-audio/elkpi-sdk - https://www.yoctoproject.org/

I thought of Ubuntu Studio as well, but it looks like Elk is intended to be more lower-level / for appliances. I'm not totally sure though, but I'm guessing it doesn't come with the full suite of Ardour etc.

I do wish there was something like Ubuntu Studio, except focused on audio-only (and more polished / supported). Mostly just because JACK + low-latency kernels are an ordeal to set-up and maintain on a normal desktop, so it's much easier to just install a pre-configured distro on a studio computer and be ready to jam whenever inspiration strikes. Unfortunately KXStudio as a separate distro isn't around any more. I still use a KXStudio 14.04 install on an old (airgapped) DAW computer.

I worry that you're worried about a group of people freely participating in activities that could lead to further mutations of viruses that could spread to people.

It's a bit of paranoia and maybe even unconscious bias against the group mentioned you're not aware of.

Heterosexual unsafe sex is just as likely to lead to virus mutations and it's certainly a higher proportion of the population, yet you choose to point out gay males in particular?
No, I get them spring loaded. Easy to get tube clamps for them.

why have a front shifter, cable, and derailleur, and multiple chain rings when they are not required, you can have a 12 speed with only a rear derailleur
It's a great product but a REPL into a docker container is hardly innovative.
There's probably a bias towards sightly higher than average IQ, because extremely low IQ usually means intellectual disability, and because IQ correlates with the ability to apply effort (at least at lower IQs). I also suspect but have no evidence that low IQ users tend to stay within walled gardens like Facebook more.

I think a lot of HN would be surprised at what an IQ of 100 looks like.
The mean, median, and mode are distinct, but mean is the average. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean which says:

> In descriptive statistics, the mean may be confused with the median, mode or mid-range, as any of these may be called an "average" (more formally, a measure of central tendency). The mean of a set of observations is the arithmetic average of the values...
A remarkable number of them were around 50%. I guess we know ourselves pretty well! Although I wonder how many of those people are wrong, just counterbalanced by the other side also being wrong....
Respectfully speaking, that doesn't answer my question. We may be talking different kinds, true, I tend to go far enough that I'll absolutely need to stop and rest before heading back. Maybe you're just on short jaunts where stopping isn't needed?
log into bridge w/metamask or whatever you use -> click on your star's name -> click 'id' in the menu that appears -> click 'transfer point' in the id menu -> input the ethereum address you want to send the star to and click 'generate and sign transaction'. did you really spend several hours trying to figure that out lmao
Perhaps I am wrong, but for me that is super obvious (that it is an emergent phenomenon).

Sadly that makes it a lot harder to solve, if it was planned we could find the people planning it and take back control, but when it is just chaos and general greed that makes this happen it is really hard to stop.
Yes, you should reject it, because the address is invalid. You can't have unquoted <> in the local part. You can't have spaces there either.

Your other reasons for breaking interop between systems/languages are just whimsical and invalid. :)
One of the main things I like about Quantic games (Detroit Become Human, Heavy Rain, Until Dawn) is the world stats that show what other people chose by % and how that matches the choices you made in the game

Its like reading Choose your own adventure Goosebumps books and seeing how many other people chose that adventure
It's shot on 4k-8k resolutions even with the most basic vector documents.
You seem unreasonably hostile.

I’m absolutely certain that the 63-character limit for domain labels is never going to change, because it’s hardcoded in enormous amounts of software and hardware, and there’s no even vaguely compelling reason to even attempt to change it. But if such a thing did change, then you’d just add this to the extremely long list of things that needed to be updated.

People who thought TLDs would only ever be up to three characters long were simply wrong from the very start because they didn’t understand what they were dealing with. (As a simple example, .arpa was there from the start.) Understand that this wasn’t a matter of anything changing, it was that some people misunderstood and thought that a convention they observed was in fact a rule.

The problem this sort of validation is solving is weeding out things that are definitely not going to work, as soon as possible, because it’s good to point out problems to users as soon as possible, rather than having something silently fail or only notifying the user about it much later. Syntactic validation isn’t the be-all and end-all of accepting email addresses, but it’s definitely still worthwhile, even though you should generally do other validation based on DNS lookups and/or sending actual emails as well.

Dumb question inbound are those features boot/runtime toggable or compile time options?
One thing that I like about this article is the authors point that digital human interaction is incomparable to real human interaction.

I spent much of my teen years on Skype or Discord playing video games with friends. Although, I still consider these close relationships, I feel we missed out on a lot of bonds and development that we could've only gotten by spending more time in person.

They didn't get replaced. You can read why in the article.
If we are playing with this, why not take one pass to find the largest element, then another pass to divide each element in the list by that number, leaving it 3N+M/M.

Edit:

Why divide by m, when you can divide by M*C. Where C will speed this portion up by a factor!

“the mean is the arithmetic average” is nonsense verbiage. “The mean” isn’t even well defined, there are a number of different means.
While not exactly what the article is suggesting, a fun thing to know is that in a room of 100 people, with normally distributed IQs. If you want to have a 50% chance of being correct that you have a higher IQ than everyone in the room, you need an IQ of about 136.9.

> What would be a better way (other than cash) to transfer some of this wealth when the next generation is younger and need it more?

Some parents give guarantees to their children's mortgages, or buy property jointly with their children. I think it comes down to a couple of factors (1) the wealthier you are, and the fewer children you have, the more sustainable this is; (2) cultural attitudes differ between different families (and between cultural/ethnic groups) in terms of whether parents ought to do this, or instead leave their adult children to fend for themselves.
People use "mean" and "average" in way that suggest they're the same, but one certainly doesn't have to say "average (herein defined as the mean)" because that's the overwhelmingly dominant meaning anyway.

Two random examples from other tabs I had open: https://direct.mit.edu/neco/article/16/3/477/6879/Mean-Insta... or
https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(13)00798-8 Mean and average are clearly the same thing, but only via context.

In fact, I'd say that "averagING" (as a verb) almost has to be the mean; I'd find it deceptive if it were mode-finding.

You're right that people often conflate the mean and median, but I think that's more to do with underestimating the very, very long tails of some distributions.
