> John le Carré had already published at least 4 popular spy novels

By the time I read my tenth or twelfth le Carré, I was ready to contest the point that they were different novels. It all seemed to boil down to "It's a mistake, we don't know what we are doing, woe is us" in different locales.
I've been doing TypeScript for 4+ years and been a web developer for 20+ years. And I experience literally zero benefit from TypeScript. Never has it given me anything useful. To me, it's a massive pain in the ass that slows down myself and my team, even if they think it doesn't. They just don't know JavaScript or have shitty quality of code to begin with.

That, and TypeScript generics can get so freaking complex that the code does NOT become simple to read at alllllll. It's a massive waste of time.

First strike could be losing any prize money or qualifying comp from the tournament. Media and sponsors are paying for all of it after all. It’s not like media is just there covering athletes doing their thing and should be lucky to get a word. Simply put, media and sponsors pay athletes to perform a show which includes (among other things) sports and interviews.

Everyone should be able to occasionally skip it, and media should be sensitive here too. But systematically dodging media can’t be a thing.
It does not rest on any of those assumptions. Those are just characteristics of the very first implementation.

I wouldn't agree that piracy is the same thing as a scam, so the analogy doesn't really works. When people download a bittorrent client, most of the time they know exactly what they're doing and that's what they're going to get. No scam here. The thing is that bittorrent moves information, and crypto moves money, and there's a bigger chance of things being a scam when it's about money. Maybe something like religions and sects would be a good analogy? Religions will bring you lots of information you may not care about, and sects will try to scam you of your money. But some religions have mandatory donations so the analogy isn't perfect.
I mistakenly asked to be called the "Staff Engineer" as employee #1, I think I'm going to correct to "Principal Engineer" as soon as I can.
You should actually talk to people from those countries. The minority of them are doing anything substantial in crypto. Only those fortunate enough to transact with a foreign entity. The others use the much more robust system of bartering.
The issues in your earlier post point to a problem with the company as a whole. It is surprising that the issue is with a specific role.
Money that can't be monopolized is more important than those. The whole human history is about money and how someone monopolized it and started extracting value from it, to get more powerful, to fund wars and destruction. Bitcoin can't be monopolized and enables humanity to rise on a completely new level.
I had the same thought originally, but after thinking about it, does the post match interview really make that much money or publicity in general? I really have no idea. Personally, as soon as the game is over I tune out.
I'm an intermediate dev, masters degree, 9 years experience, non-FAANG, higher cost of living area (not SV, NYC or NVA), and work with obscure tech and proprietary tools.

It sucks that I suck. Oh well.
I have had banks stealing my funds for years -- be it financial providers eating up my first 401k contributions in excessive fees, be it the banks that charged me $2 every time I used an ATM, be it the random charges unauthorized charges that the bank pulled from my account...

Then there is the watching all my adult life as assets grow more expensive and further out of reach, a debt treadmill emerges to ensure the continued struggle of the middle class lest they try to escape their position.

This is in the west. I can't imagine the shenanigans banks play on folks in less regulated jurisdictions. Maciej, I'm sorry that you refuse to get it. We need hard money to prevent the value loss of the time-store fruits of our labor. We need an explicit spend model to prevent unauthorized charges. We need a way to prevent the custodian of funds from helping themselves to your pocket. Better yet, we need a digital store of value that does not require a trusted third party. And we need to make sure special interests can't dictate who is able to spend their money.

For this, it is the most valuable thing on the planet.
>But a scam in a sense that it can’t power every day transactions or day to day needs etc

It's not supposed to. No need for a permanent ledger to store cheap day-to-day transactions.
I'd go farther—probably too mean for HN, but this kind of attitude gets a pass on here in part because people are too restrained in slapping down painfully-bad opinions that aren't about technology—and point to the above two comments as illustrating the difference between "literate" as in "can read words" and "literate" as in "at least knows what actually reading looks like, even if not fully capable of it oneself".

It's the equivalent of "classical music sucks, it all all sounds the same to me and is really boring" or "jazz sucks, it's all just random noise" or "hip-hop sucks, it's all just angry yelling". No, you're bad at listening to music, broadly, and are so bad that you don't even realize how bad you are. This is different from just happening not to care for a given piece or artist, but understanding why the work may be considered good, or at least important.
What are the odds a post about Osaka's play on the court would appear on HN? Lynch has benefited plenty from "I'm just here so I don't get fined." Moves such as this likely do more to build intrigue than answering a standard post match/game interview question.
Oddly enough I’m the diametric opposite: skeptical of crypto’s long term value up until recently (but before the last big run up) - I now see it is a a fundamental hedge against totalitarianism among other things. Westerners can fail to grasp the potential benefits due to the privilege of the time and place they were born. At least for now.
I understand the vendor wants my details,I'd want it too, but the reality is that the buyer is voting for convenience and going to Amazon instead.
Paypal kind of does it,but only to a degree-I'd love wider spectrum of payment methods+ some flexibility on what the vendor can/can't do with my data,similar to how app permissions work on Android. If it's some 'local brooms and stick', they only get my address for delivery,but if it's some specialist store with fountains of knowledge,then yes,sure,send me texts,emails and so on.
Nerds, early adopters — whatever you want to call them, the online behaviors they pioneered became mainstream.

In contrast not even nerds are actually using Bitcoin or Ethereum for anything that interacts with the real world. All proposed applications are self-referential shell games like NFTs, staking schemes, etc.

If this is a superior platform for finance, where’s the real economic activity? Handwaving about “probably they use it in Venezuela” doesn’t cut it.
This is true unless you own a meaningful portion of the company (>1%). To dump your entire investment because of extra hours is not a way to get that asymptotic upside.

Maybe... none of this applies to people who own meaningful portions of the companies they work for.
I understand that, I was talking about a parallel aspect.
This is true. I don't trust Amazon's products to be the best, but their return policy & customer service is miles ahead of any competition. I've tried buying from non-Amazon places recently, but their shipping (and even returns process) is so bad I prefer buying from Amazon.

Amazon delivers stuff to my place for "free" and very fast. They also make returning things as painless as possible since I don't even need to re-package my item when dropping off at UPS. It's easy to underestimate the hassle (from other merchants) of re-packaging your items and possibly paying for return shipping.
> may actually reduce the risk to civilians because they will make fewer mistakes than human-guided weapons systems

So they will enable waging war in situations where it was previously impossible on humanitarian grounds.

Nice selling point.

Fuck that.

I honestly can't decide which is worse: Weapons so terrible nobody wants to go to war, or weapons so neat that war is the obvious choice.
What do you mean exactly? There are tons of problems with the company. Stay long enough at any large company and I'm sure there are plenty. The issues can change dramatically from department to department.
I tried one of the example queries, "UDP".

Out of the 45 search results, the most relevant one (the UDP RFC itself) was all the way at the bottom, listed as "RFC0768" and tagged as "legacy". (I'm not sure what legacy actually means here?)

Anyway, I clicked the link, which took me to a 404 error page - https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc0768.html (The correct URL is apparently without the leading 0)

This site does seem genuinely useful, but I think the UX could really use some polishing here, especially since I literally followed through with one of the example queries in the middle of the homepage.
Well this is sad news to start the week with. I'd be interested in contributing to a community fork if one emerges. I don't want to see this project die.

Thank you to everyone who has worked on it over the years!
> The only downside is that if you use your own equipment, the first thing they will do when you call for tech support is tell you that it is the fault of your equipment.

I would rather buy a second brand new one then pay Comcast an extra $15 per month... and that second router will pay for itself in just a few months. But most of the time, I don't have to do that.
I experienced parts of CS academia and it was off-putting to say the least. Full of mediocre people who understood "the system" - not that much different from a direct-marketing operation, or a mafia - all while pestering CS professionals working in the weeds with their crazy-talk. Creating papers out of things, my colleagues and I talk while having a coffee. I'm not joking, intelligent guys get high on their own supply and will sell you ideas, that never gonna fly in the real-world with a straight face - and they will try it over and over again. It's embarassing.

Personally, I'm trying out the route of getting the resources myself to do my research, much more work - but at least sane work with a level of independence that I feel is necessary to see things through.
The money people still think they can change China. Maybe it’ll turn out they were right, maybe not.

I think it fits rather perfectly into a narrative with 30 years of western investments into China with the expectancy of it opening up more. The money men are just rustling their swords because it’s not happening fast enough, maybe some are even beginning to worry a little about the past year of not being capable of exploiting their insanely long supply lines, but it’s probably mostly just impatience still. Either way it’s not like they won’t do anything to keep making what money they can at the same time.
I hate this voting thing. People are quick to judge and It leaves no room for respectful disagreement and drives people away.

How do I tell someone that I value his input even though I respectfully disagree? It's pretty much impossible on HN without writing a post.
This is very cool, but I was sad I can't search by author.

Also I like the "obsolete" tick box.

As the other commenter said, this trashes the back button/history by treating every keypress as a new URL. Make sure you use replace.
This was certainly true in the past, but I'm not sure it is true anymore. Athletes and their fans can now form direct connections through social media and other platforms that were previously purely controlled by the media. I wouldn't say sports media is irrelevant or anything that extreme, but their role as a middleman between athletes and fans isn't needed as much anymore.
I mean he is not famous but not quite unknown.

Here for example is The Economist on his bookmarking site:

>>> Mr Cegłowski runs Pinboard, a paid social-bookmarking service which allows subscribers to store web links with annotations and share them with others. In broad terms, it is similar to Delicious, which Yahoo! acquired in 2005.

https://www.economist.com/babbage/2011/04/04/stick-a-pin-in-...

But yes, this is a controversial subject. It shouldn't be. It should be an easy yes / no. But something is wrong. We should not be afraid of the discussion about what is wrong.
Is it so worthless that no one uses it, or so useful that only the highest-value transactors are willing to pay the fee?

It’s like arguing the most popular restaurant is so crowded, no one goes there anymore.
"balks" (but what you wrote is funnier.)
> Legally speaking, you owe the logistics provider money separately from any contract between the logistics provider and the seller.

No you don't. A transaction occurred That was separate from your quoted price, purchase price, shipping cost, and after a period of time passed since the delivery of the product. The purchaser is not responsible for the costs incurred by other parties.

> It's similar to if you had a valet park your car, and they parked it in a pay parking lot they don’t have authorization for, and your car got ticketed/towed.

Nope. That scenario is entirely different.
Depends on your timeframe.

Yes i've lost a lot of my net worth compared to last month.

Compared to last year, i'm up 3.5x.

That's one of the things i like about using Bitcoin as a savings account, it makes me think more longterm about my finances.
No free apps? What about if you need one for banking or health insurance or something else essential?
It does not matter. It's part of the event scheduled in the event agenda. It's contractual. Signing up for an event implies fulfilling all these obligations.
I'm confused about why Bitcoin is being discussed in the past tense when both usage and price have both grown significantly over the last year. Is it already dead? Could have fooled me.
I took the time to setup PiHole at the network level, and uBlock Origin on my browsers, but to your point, I don't waste time trying to block YouTube ads on my Chromecast/GoogleTV (which is collecting data on everything I watch, not just YouTube, of course). I basically block the low-hanging fruit, but still get semi-targeted ads fairly often. But not quite to the extent I see described by people that put no effort into it, so I do feel like it has some affect.
In the case of the Internet, people were doing either new things, or existing things more efficiently (e.g. sending emails vs. postal mail and fax, or transferring files vs. swapping disk media or printouts). As the Internet progressed, efficiency increased.

In the case of cryptocurrencies, people are doing existing things that can already be done quickly and efficiently vastly less efficiently, in a system that is purposely designed to be less efficient, where efficiency is in fact actively counteracted. Databases and online money transactions were possible before, at a fraction of the total cost inherent to the system and at vastly higher performance.
I think one of the sad things about Idris Ilba not getting to be Bond is, in the hands of a nuanced writing team, they really could have used the character to dig into some of the stuff the aristocracy still has not fully self reflected over.

Those are a "philosophy" or "ethical framework" or "moral code", not a religion. Religion by definition entails belief in the supernatural - i.e., that which there is no evidence for, or we would simply call it "physics".
The early internet was overrun with this stuff too. Remember Bonzai buddy? Or the ad serving tools that’d claim to pay you for every hour you’re connected to the internet?

I've been reading stuff like this for some time now, I actually had our ventilation redone, albeit for non-Covid reasons because we had too much dust due to leaky vents causing asthma issues and it makes things a lot better even without worrying about Covid.

I never could find any easy/good way to add UV to the mix without having to redo everything again, though. I wonder if anyone knows any easy/simple add-ons like the one we got to add a bidet to the toilet to deal with the TP shortages.
She's the world #2 female player, and she was doing media pool appearances until today.

Also, the news media does not pay for the prize money. That comes out of broadcast rights, event sponsorship, and spectator tickets. Neither the sponsors nor the spectators are permitted to attend the media pool events.
Yes sorry it was a typo. I meant to write:

> I believe Bitcoin is the single biggest innovation driver in the *fin*tech sector right now.

Obviously not the biggest driver in tech; i don't blame you fr laughing at this statement.
> I see it on the list here, and I know it’s not the most universally malicious of dark patterns, but Amazon defaulting users to a “subscription” on things like vitamins, diapers, toilet paper, etc. is so annoying.

I cancelled amazon prime and stopped shopping there, and this one of the reasons. The site is increasingly filled with such patterns.

Try and buy something without prime and it offers it to me on 2-3 screens, including the shipping screen after you've already told it no to prime.

Ostensibly someone might change their mind, but to me it looks like trying to get accept clicks out of customers who don't read the screens just click buttons.

>Reminds me of a time I was in their Seattle book store maybe six months ago and overheard the person at the register telling every customer they “qualified for a free audiobook” and that he’d get them all set up.

I would never go back to a place that gave me an in person audible commercial.
Short of outright banning Chinese products like the US did with Huawei I don't see how you can compete with the Chinese when they make things faster, cheaper, and with minimal quality loss. The last point about quality is even debatable.
>working democracy

That's a sizable assumption to begin with. Democracies are less and less, well, working because the Internet itself has eroded trust significantly and is moving the parameters of epistemology around. That is a problem caused by tech, so how is it not a tech problem ? The work done in the blockchain space on trust is IMO very important.
I've seen reporters ask really invasive questions, or repeat them over and over, with slightly different words.

I've seen Steve Kerr or Greg Popovich handle these types of situations with grace, but they are far older than Osaka. They have had years to hone their responses and they are very accomplished in their fields. For Osaka, I can totally empathize with her. It's demeaning, sometimes, and when they see you are vulnerable they push even harder.
The halting problem only means that the problem "does this line ever run" is not computable for every case, since it's possible to construct undecidable cases. However, not all cases are undecidable and for most lines of most programs simple static analysis can indeed determine that certain lines will definitely run and certain lines won't.

As long as you accept that the solution won't give a yes/no answer but yes/no/maybe, an automated system definitely can opiniate on what the program does; for example, by actually attempting to run the involved fragments for a limited time.
Samosas is quality food?
This looks extremely useful, even though currently makes quite a few mistakes, as noted by others. A few features that could be nice:

1) It handles 1 000 000 * 3 just fine, but returns 3000000. So it would be nice if it would format output as 3 000 000 as well for readability. At least as an optional setting (even though I have no idea why someone wouldn't want that).

2) Some way of referencing last result. Often you need to perform operations step by step, when, say, estimating something. So either 10 \n + 20 \n * 3 ..., or just referencing last output like some special variable. I though I could do it more verbosely by just x = 10; x = x + 20 ..., but that gives "Variable references itself."

3) Not sure about this one, since this is not something natural at all, and I don't know what to propose to make it natural (at least without proposing map/filter/reduce and some sort of multi-line inputs). Neither is it a real problem, but it's just something I probably use a calculator most often: simply adding up a dozen of numbers, copied from somewhere as a column. So currently I must first open vim, convert it to and expression bc will handle ( 15 + 21 + 32 ...), and then paste in to bc. With kalk it would be similar. Would be great if one could skip that step since this (I assume) would be a common use-case. But, yeah, I don't have an actual suggestion on how to naturally address that.

It is part of the job. A single interview makes no difference but if athletes always bail when they don't feel like it, it will be less interesting to follow. Consider a sports broadcast, aside from the actual match there is much time spent to switch between interviews and pundits, with advertisments mixed in between. With less interviews, less content and less time to push ads to the viewers. The broadcasters uses the interviews to create interesting air time.

Except that transactions are not final, your scenario is exactly what crypto is great at, there are many ways you can set up an escrow for any transaction to protect multiple parties, for example by using a multisig wallet (1).

I never quite understood how that might happen. I kept hearing how it was distributed when it isn't. How the blockchain was going to change the world, when not a single example beyond Bitcoin itself could be given. Healthcare was mentioned, but no application... It's right up there with all the other crazy ideas of the last decade or two (Mongo, agile, Google Glass...)
How about planting trees? You buy land, plant 50-100 trees and in a mere 10 years or so you get to walk through your own little forest.

You might argue that's a useless waste of money and time, but when people are spending $500k+ on NFTs, I don't think that argument works. If anything, with the price of timber at the moment, this seems like a solid 40y investment. 100 2×4s in a 40 year tree, $100k payout on 100 trees (before costs or subsidies and warm fuzzies).

Let's put this proof-of-nonsense "currency" stuff behind us.
People keep being blindsided by the financial aspects of the space, whether it is those who love it or those who hate it. It just rings off-beat and it's frankly a bit vacuous.
This franchise has too much childhood nostalgia for me to ever “cancel” it. It’s gonna be the blue pill for me.

That being said, it’s interesting and humble to see my internal biases. My gut instinct to all of these critical comments of the Bond movies was “these idiots are wrong”. I had to consciously tell myself “they probably have a lot of valid points but in favor of protecting childhood memories I’m not going to look into this”.
