I think suits last decades if you wear them occasionally - but I doubt you'll get daily use out of pants without wearing them out.

And having to care for things (special washing etc.) isn't really practical for most things which is why I doubt we will get this shift in trends.

Maybe if we get some new revolutionary fabrics.

I wonder if there was an innovation where you'd get a comfy and super durable fabric but it costs 10x of regular clothes - would people go for it.
Ah yes, the one spread sheet that everyone uses but no one knows how it works! I've seen that so many times.

That depends entirely on what you're developing (internal vs external etc.) and how frequently the resource will be needed.
Maybe they wanted the cash in hand rather than a high variance company valuation. Or just wanted to transition their money and attention to something else. There are plenty of reasons to want to sell a company in a way that both sides come out ahead.
No... it's because it's just a LOT faster not to have to move your hand between the keyboard and the mouse.

Unless you are typing one handed then there is inherent inefficiency in using a mouse vs. a keyboard command. Example: ctrl/cmd+c ctrl+v vs right click copy/paste.

Context: I've competed at a high level in CS/Valorant and voltaic platinum... mouse accuracy is not my issue.

Once you achieve relative fluency with using a given text editor or IDE then it is natural to gravitate towards using keyboard shortcuts.

Eventually, if you type decently fast (70wpm+, though that's slow by my standards but I'm not here to boast about the size of my epeen) many will find it frustrating moving between keyboard and mouse constantly.
It’s sad state only because the FOSS developer managed a low funding. OTOH, if they had managed significantly more, say a million, then irrespective of the bounty size we wouldn’t label it a sad state.

This is to say that FOSS needs more funding and contributors; rest of the industry can do whatever they want, and we wouldn’t care.

I agree, I own both (plastic V60, Kasuya ceramic). I switch it up depending on the weather, as well as the amount of coffee I want to make (300ml vs 400ml+), since they use different filter sizes.
What a steal.

I personally think StackOverflow is worth more than some of the other tech companies that got acquired recently at higher valuations.

They really nailed the model for building high-quality content. Unlike Reddit, Facebook Groups and others, they're one of few modern social sites that I actually find more useful than more conventional niche forums.

Something tells me, "read the fine print"?
To elaborate a bit, the significance of that was that without accurate clocks navigators could only reliably figure out their latitude at sea.

Imagine if you are trying to navigate to some far away island that is southwest of your starting position. If you tried to sail the direct route, when you reached the correct latitude you would have no idea if you are east of the island or west of the island.

Instead, you'd have to sail south or mostly south until you got to the right latitude, then sail west until you reached the island. This could be a much longer journey.

Even if you are going for something much bigger than an island, like a particular port on a continent, not knowing longitude made it difficult. Say you are going from Spain to someplace in South America. Unlike the island example above, you might think you can just try for the shortest route because if you end up too far west when you reach the right latitude, you'll at least be able to find the coast of the continent and come down that.

But that coastal territory might belong to Spain's enemies who might not take kindly to a Spanish ship in their waters without permission. To avoid that risk, you have to do just like you would do in the island case--go south until you are at the right latitude and then go west.

A practical and reliable way to find longitude at sea was seen as something that would confer major economic and military advantages to any country that had it over those that did not, and so governments provided funding and prizes and other incentives to encourage development of a solution.

Ask HN: What is being done, what *can* be done, about ransomware attacks?
Don’t know, I read it on Safari a few weeks ago. I didn’t compare the two editions.
Yup, and that’s just the “classical” synaptic transmission.

Mixed in with that, there is also slower signaling via neuromodulators (dopamine, norepinephrine etc), neuroendocrine system, and God only knows whatever the astrocytes are doing. Every neuron has its own internal dynamics too, over scales ranging from milliseconds (channel inactivation) to hours or days (receptor internalization).

There’s even the possibility of “ephaptic coupling”, wherein the electric fields produced by some neurons affect the activity of others, without making any sort of direct contact. We’ve collected some of the stronger data in favor of that possibility and yet I remain firmly in denial because it would make the brain so absurdly complicated.
> The charity aspect of thrift stores, at least historically, has been the money that you give them when you buy stuff there.

That's actually completely backwards. The public good that a thrift store provides is to make cheap, essential things accessible to people who can't afford anything else. Goodwill is a nonprofit because there is no profit in making cheap, essential things accessible to people who can't afford to anything else.
Businesses are legally obligated to deliver your goods, so they will do that anyways, just like if you pay in cash today and go back to the store asking for a refund.
Possibly a bit more, but not much more. Certainly not the kind of attention they did prior.

Being President was the reason for his popularity, not being on Twitter. He was tweeting from a personal account that he had prior to running, which no one cared about until he got into office and decided to make it his primary means of communication with the public. His content on Twitter was no better than on his blog, but when your shitposting can start a riot or maybe a war, people have to care.

Yes, I do believe that, contrary to the narrative, Donald Trump no longer being President has more of an effect on his messaging power than his site not being hosted on one of the social media silos.

Who exactly considers that the "classic problem" of prison? Your reasoning strikes me as perverse. This "social contract" is the rule of a few elites with racially charged political agendas over the many, look into the history of drug laws. It's not a just contract if you are manipulated with false propaganda and coerced by force into signing.
Our debt is made easier because of the strength of the dollar, just as the British debt was before the Suez crisis.

The Dollar is only strong because there hasn't been an event like Britain's Suez Crisis YET. But the US Dollar is a 'dead man walking' just like the British Pound was a 'dead man walking' before Suez.

Both the Pound then and the Dollar now, had and have only 'belief' holding them up. The economic fundamentals behind both of them being horrifically bad.

But keep believing what you believe. It won't change the outcome.

Why Monero specifically though, with all the options in crypto available?

If you want privacy there are also Zcash shielded transactions. Or if all you want to do is eliminate central parties then why not just Bitcoin?

My understanding with Monero is if you don't run your own node there's not that much privacy guarantee anyway (otherwise you have to trust the third party node you point to). Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken about that.

Average Weeks Unemployed
On my TO-DO project list, there is "BASIC compiler/interpreter for raspberry(-like) computers".

I am nostalgic of Commodore64 too.

The thing that made many of us go down the rabbit hole was the immediacy of the interpreter, begging you to enter some commands 2 seconds after turning on your computer.

The perceived small gap between the commands you enter in a programming language and the games you could play with the machine contributed largely to the curiosity and willing to learn more.

On a modern computer, building the right interpreter is challenging. There is a trade-off between the simplicity of the language and what you can achieve with it. You won't impress today's kids if it allows you to only print text on a scrolling page.

But I think one can build something really great. There could be an integrated sprite editor (with a graphic UI) and the interpreter can use them right away with something like:
Sprite1.visible
Sprite1.x = 10

emphasising again the immediacy. Those "sprites" could be 3d objects as well.
Workshop on SvelteKit Authentication
Granting your premise, but: what is there to discuss about it? Cryptocurrencies are good for this, yes.

I am inferring (perhaps incorrectly) that you're saying this is an argument against cryptocurrencies. I think that's beside the the point: even outright outlawing cryptocurrencies wouldn't stop the technology from existing, and wouldn't discourage extortionists from using it to anonymously receive payments.

It would make it harder to pay, since you'd have to go outside of safe, legal channels to get money into the system.

If the best strategy when being extorted is to never pay or negotiate, then I suppose that could be a benefit. But, in that case it would be more efficient to just make it illegal to cooperate with extortion in the first place.

For all I know, this is already true. If not, let's try that first. If it is, it doesn't seem to matter, since people are paying ransomware hackers. Still, if paying at all is illegal, but people still do it, then making paying less convenient probably won't make much of a difference: they'll still ask for payment in crypto, and leave the logistics up to the victim.
Also before. It isn't something new. I'm amazed it can still become worse but it does.

Bug bounty programs help when you want to gradually improve the quality of your system, but no single bug can be used to blackmail or halt your entire business.

You see, your proposal's math doesn't work. Acme has a system worth 100 million. This means a blackmailer can ask for 100 million if they find one bug (let's keep things simple).

Obviously Acme can't offer 100 million in a bug bounty program for every bug found. So let's say they offer 100k, they're very generous. This means after 1000 bugs found, they've transferred their entire worth to bug bounty hunters.

So while Acme had to create a system worth 100 million, they own 0 of it now. They gave everything to bounty hunters. Is this fair? No. What happened is that instead of one blackmailer, there were 1000 blackmailers saying "we're the good guys, we help you find bugs in your system, OR ELSE".

When a health industry keeps raising the prices on you, because they keep saying "we're the good guys, we help you not die of cancer, give us your house, OR ELSE" we love them right?

But that's not the end of the story.

Did the good guys who took all your money found all the bugs? Well a blackmailer still stands to gain 1000x more than anyone on the bug bounty program, if they can find a bug before the bug bounty hunters have leeched the host dry of their last drop of blood. So a malicious hacker is motivated to be faster, and financed to be better, with more people, better equipment, and so on.

So the bug bounty program is absolutely inadequate solution to the problem. Paying more to match what a blackmailer would ask, turns the bug bounty hunters into blackmailers. Except they also can't guarantee shit. And they can't cover losses for shit if they miss something either. They just take your money and leave you almost as vulnerable as you were.

So, no. Companies won't have bigger bug bounty programs.

Instead they'll do something that might help. Like move off the internet, making things more inconvenient for everyone, and insure heavily anything they put online.

Monero is much more private than Zcash.

The issue with Zcash shielded transactions is that something like 14% of transactions are shielded, but only 1% are truly private. Optionally shielded transactions make chain analysis much easier and immediately make said transaction suspect. So you cannot comfortably use Zcash for private transactions. See the report by Chainalysis [1]:

> 14% of the ZCash transactions use a so-called "shielded pool", but in only 6% of all cases both the sender, recipient and the number of transactions are fully encrypted. The report states: “So even if the concealment on Zcash is stronger due to the zk-SNARK encryption, Chainalysis can still provide the transaction value and at least one address for over 99% of the ZEC activities.”

Clearly, optional privacy is not privacy at all. It needs to be on by default, which is the philosophy behind Monero.

Re. Monero nodes - if you’re using a remote node you can just use Tor, which I believe is soon to be baked in by default. Otherwise, Monero is still quite private. Your transaction history, transaction amounts etc are not revealed to nodes. Some metadata like restore height is, but that’s not a big deal.

I don't need to have a solution for everything, right?

And the answer to your question: there are many private regulations entities for different businesses.

If you expect regulation to come from the state, and for stuff such as efficiency, what you're going to get is worse efficiency and higher costs for everything because of regulatory capture. Big players will draft laws to make sure they own the whole market. This happens in any sector you put these perverse incentives. From telecom to health to education to whatever else.

Pidgin is the IM client provided in Tails Linux. In practice that makes it the OTR over XMPP client provided in Tails Linux.

I suspect that this use also causes those that are not doing Tails to use Pidgin on Windows to communicate with those that are. After all, Pidgin is in Tails. It must be secure.

I would see your task differently and more about maximizing _opportunities_ for wealth (and other kinds of fulfillment)

1. Maintain a public presence, including talking about problems you’re working on, open source contributions, blogging, speaking, social media, etc.

2. In (1) and in all interactions make it clear you have great communication and interpersonal skills. Work really hard at this because if you can help investors, managers, etc understand what you want you can go really far.

3. Have humility and a beginners mindset. If someone is smarter/better than you it’s a chance to learn. If you fail, it’s a chance to learn. Listening is a chance to incorporate perspectives and options into an overall better approach AND it comes with buy-in from who you’re listening to if you truly care about their perspective. Also, of course, if you have skills others need, freely give your knowledge away.

4. Pick a valuable niche. This is where the tech/market skill lies. If you can understand something, and combine it with the soft skills above you can go far. And by “understand” I mean in reality you know enough about a very hard problem both add value AND bring a _lot_ of humility about what you _dont_ yet understand. Or perhaps nobody understands.
Well that's why the M1 is much better than the I9, not strictly because it's a faster chip, but because it's a more efficient chip. Efficiency = less cooling required.

I think part of it is because I don't care about mac computers. I'm interested in how the M1 - a consumer ARM chip - stacks up against the best x86_64 chip, not how it performs in one particular laptop.
copy + delete one at a time makes a lot of sense if you're working on a filesystem without a way to move without copying (I don't think you can actually move a file in fat32), because copy all could require more space than is available.

The same could be true here where you're moving from a zip file to probably the same filesystem the zip files is in; if removing a file from the zip file is actually an in-place move data then truncate. The problem, of course, is that removing a file from the zip file is tremendously expensive. Reading the file with one syscall per byte doesn't help (especially post-Spectre workarounds that make syscalls more expensive).
What you write is true from an US point of view, and that's the point of my comment. In Europe you wouldn't ask anyone how she/he feels when you don't want to accept and reply to the response, even if it is deviating from the expected (happy) response.
