They’re different ratings systems, and not meant to be directly comparable.

Chess.com uses Glicko with an initial rating of 1200 (https://support.chess.com/article/210-how-do-ratings-work-on...), while Lichess uses Glicko-2, and sets their initial rating to 1500 (https://lichess.org/page/rating-systems).

Just anecdotally, I’m an ~1800 rated player on chess.com, and ~2050 on Lichess. Percentile rank wise, I’m in the top 3.5% on chess.com, and closer to top 10% on Lichess.

I think this matches the general perception that Chess.com has many more casual players. This is likely a function of all the cross promotion they’ve done to grow the game, especially on Twitch. Neither site is “good” or “bad”, but my friends who play casually seem more likely to play on Chess.com.

Our currency is the USD since 2001. The SVC our former local currency has been pegged for 20+ years to the usd [1].

The SVC is no longer used day to day and is usually kept as a collectible item, it can still be exchanged at banks at 8.75 SVC per 1 USD.

> That's true of anything. If nobody is buying X, you can't sell X. If nobody is buying stocks, stocks are worthless.

Most assets do produce income, that's usually why you would invest in them. For example, stocks provide dividends and houses provide rent. This is also one of the reasons why Warren Buffet advises against buying gold and cryptocurrencies, they do not produce anything. The sentiment that stocks are worthless if no one is buying them is typical for speculators who do not care about the intrinsic value of a stock.

It's a monolithic SoC, and while it is packaged with the RAM that's just closer integration of chips that would normally be on-motherboard or a DIMM?

I believe that Cathie Woods, who is managing one of the most successful ETF funds ever, has some of the most insightful things to say on this topic. Here's her latest video where she explains her current views:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i17erEpctKQ

Basically she is such a believer in technological improvement, that she thinks that the deflationary forces of technological improvement will work faster than the inflationary forces of low interest rates and high amount of money printing. She has been right for the last 5 years at least.
Ideally yes. But i would be concerned that 6 months later the CEO asks me why sales aren't ramping up and doesn't want to hear that we were selling the wrong thing because of insufficient upfront analysis. Meanwhile the board might have heard a version of events from the CEO that subtly shifted the blame away from him.

One of the big competitive advantage Fastly has compared to say Akamai is that configuration changes roll out extremely fast. I could see them skimping on smoke tests to keep that advantage and not thinking that this could ever happen.
If I didn't already have an adblocker to remove these ads in the first place, I would certainly love feel like I am sticking it to YouTube with this extension. Nice job!
as i read they add an extra TLS/HTTPS layer to ODNS traffic in order to pipe dns query yet an other party. first TLS gets unwrapped, then forwarded to ODNS resolver, so the DOH provider sees who (which IP/netblock) queries but not what; and the ODNS sees what is queried but not by whom.
my problem with it is that DOH and ODNS providers are altough intended to be separate entities, but it's not guaranteed and eventhough they are, they can still share data off-band.
and this obscurity in DNS won't stop ISPs to spy on what sites user visits, based on bare IP connections pattern, see https://blog.apnic.net/2019/08/23/what-can-you-learn-from-an...
of course if all of the Internet would be behind aws/cloudflare CDN then this method won't be so effective for ISPs.

> Grades still matter for the vast majority of people who aren’t born into mega rich families.

Not really, while its generally better to have a qualification than no qualification 48% of people with a degree are in a job that don't require it.

Qualifications don't matter if everyone has them, this is because employers care about the skills some one has not the lectures they sat through. Skills are difficult to develop lectures are easy to sit through. If every one has those qualifications supply/demand kills the need for those jobs.

If you sacrifice building up skills to chase grades you have a near 50/50 chance of ending up working behind a till with €50k in debt, not a good position to be in if you are not mega rich.
Hi Everyone. Thanks for posting to Show HN

I made this

Ads keep slipping through my ad-blocker so I made this extension to make me feel better.

It changes the words 'Skip ads' to 'fuck off' on YouTube.
Not really because investors are committing resources to the business which, it is hoped, will deliver value greater than the amount put in. Merely owning land doesn't help the land improve and deliver any value.
I appreciate the time you took to come up with the examples but I hope you can see they're not quite comparable. An email address, like a phone number, identifies you uniquely. But unlike phone numbers there's no "portability", you can't take your gmail address with you to yahoo. Losing access to your email is more akin to losing access to your name than to an appliance of sorts.

A phone or a car are nowhere near that level of uniqueness. People don't need your IMEI or VIN number to identify you. You can still have a backup of your data which for all intents and purposes will turn any other phone into the one that was taken from you. And if Hertz somehow just takes back your car full of your personal stuff you have plenty of recourse. Most other critical industries were either regulated as utilities or self regulated.

The problem is that companies like Google give you the service ostensibly for free and use this to justify being able to completely cut access to your account with absolutely no recourse and no explanation. You didn't pay anything so you can't expect anything. On the other hand they do monetize your data which invalidates the "for free" premise. They also don't give you any possibility to transfer the ownership of those uniquely identifying elements.

Perhaps any mail provider like ProtonMail or Fastmail should also be regulated as utilities. When electricity was deemed a utility it was probably used by fewer people and it was less useful to them than mail is today. At the very least companies like Google, Apple, and the rest of the bunch should be very tightly regulated.

You can use maps or youtube without an account but you will never receive that job offer without your email. And you may not be able to access your other critical accounts since they rely on email.

Let's put it another way: maybe an email provider should not be allowed to be used for critical services like banking, utilities, public services, etc. unless they themselves accept to be regulated as utilities. The point is to not have critical services relying on ones with a proven low quality of service track record.
Fun idea, but I have added uBlock and Adblocker specifically to spite YouTube recently as their adds are getting crazy, and again out of spite I wont pay premium.
There's a category for mature content
>This is very, very different than stumbling upon something.

a) Accumulating capital & power (e.g bitcoin, land, property, influence) has always had a 'stumble upon' component.

There's no inherent 'fight and murder' evil to it...

b) Early Bitcoin acquisition required some level of computer/security/independent thinking competence.

Early land acquisition required some level of legal/defence/homesteading competence.

Aside:
Writing 'very, very' made me take a closer look at this comment. Comments stating something like like 'very, very' pretty reliably tend to be flawed & indeed not 'very, very'.
Compared to non-SPAs.
I often get the 'skip ads' text with UBLOCK so I made this
I love the having the option of paying for a service I use heavily (like YouTube) while having infrequent content (blogs, newspapers) ad-supported.

Not sure how people imagine production costs can be covered otherwise without ads?! Not to mention creator's profits without which there is no incentive to create in the first place...
Having the wisdom is tough without having the knowledge.

Having the knowledge is difficult if you don't have the information.

I don't completely subscribe to Bloom's taxonomy of learning as the complete picture, but has at least some kernel of applicability.

The idea that there are different interdependent levels to mastering some field sounds true to me.
Nice thought, but browser extensions should be installed extremely selectively. All it takes to compromise your browser is one extension author taking a huge bribe to pass control to a malware author. I only install for critical functionality. Mild conveniences begone.

Right. The article boils down to people being personally attached to programming languages, leading to emotion-driven fanboyism rather than serious objective evaluation of languages/paradigms/ideas. It's unfortunate that software developer culture treats this as normal, rather than as unbecoming and, frankly, immature.

The "valid customer configuration change" seems to cover the angle that the user input was validated and valid but the backend implementation of said configuration was the buggy part. Look forward to actual details from them.
Have you done Ketamine? It's the least recreational drug I've done.
> in an age where every Chinese factory can churn out toasters or radio's with near zero margins, it makes little sense to remain worlds' leader in toasters or radio's.

Surprise for you, Chinese factory can't run with near zero margins.

Electronics industry been on the downsizing trend in China for the last 10 years.

It now costs less to hire labour in flyover states in USA, than South China.

Chinese factories themselves are rushing to relocate to South Asia.
Gold is simply one of the metals in the universe and has different strength and weaknesses depending on the application.

It's not true that gold is naturally superior, in fact Gold is often mixed with other metals to create alloys to overcome certain issues. Pure gold is too soft for most of the practical uses like jewellery for example, so they add copper to it.
What was the reason to contact you about your comments? What did the email say?
Thx, for some reasons I believed it was also superior in conductivity.

Just use uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yep! And you could only get one of these devices via a recommendation from another crook who already had one, and they cost between 1.5k-2.5k, paid in BTC apparently.

It's pretty interesting! Can't wait for more details on the scheme.
I've been using adblockers since Firefox first introduced it back in god only knows.

So I fully support people's right to block ads.

BUT I actually purchased Youtube Premium because I found myself watching it so often. It's amazing! There is content on youtube for hours of watching every day. I lost my TV way back in 2010 so I only watch Youtube, local PBS (svtplay) and sometimes other apps, chromecasted to my projector or a big screen.

If you like youtube, why not pay for it? It's a ton of content. And with Youtube Music (although the app sucks) they're actually giving you virtually all the music of spotify, and all the content of Youtube, for 118SEK (14USD). That's a threat to Spotify I'd say.
To those migrant workers, what they're getting might well be a decent wage. Meanwhile the jobs of "real" Norwegians such as the farmers you mention and their supply chain depend on that business model too.

It's funny how depriving foreigners of their livelihood is so often pitched as being for their own good.
> That is why mankind has waged war for millennia

Societies with no concept of private land ownership wage war. Nomadic tribes with no private or even communal land ownership structures wage war at the scales they can. Tying warmongering to private ownership or money is oversimplifying.
Ketamine is less recreational than most antidepressants, benzos etc. IMO.

So label it what you will. But try it & see for yourself.
Yeah, that may be the case, but those points don't apply in a situation where you just want to have better visibility, and are not in a situation where the polarized glasses could interfere with anything else. Like LCDs, looking through other glasses, and so on. For the use-case I described they are even relaxing, causing less eye-strain.
Just send them in anyway.
Nayib Bukele's (president of El Salvador) profile on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/nayibbukele

Just have a look at it. The profile pic with laser eyes. I wonder how much of this is motivated by personal profit motives.

Edit: The biggest thing of this is that every commercial actor MUST accept Bitcoin if a customer wants to pay in Bitcoin. See Art. 7
> doesn't have the capacity to support El Salvador's economy

It's easier for San Salvador to disappear Bitcoin into cronies' pockets than U.S. dollars. For this purpose, Bitcoin's deeper liquidity makes it the best choice. Less cynically, Bitcoin has brand recognition. That makes it politically palatable in a unique way.

Bitcoin isn't a great currency. But it is a competitive store of value. El Salvador doesn't have a trusted domestic market of financial assets. This is an experiment in replacing a domestic market for assets with Bitcoin.
The problem is the ripple effect that automotive has across societies. It's one thing if shitcoin miners or gamers have to wait for GPUs, but when the automotive industry with its many millions of employees and in sequence its supply chain with even more millions of employees is grinding to a halt, the impact is immense.

If anything, corona has shown us how extremely unhealthy the dependency of modern society on the automotive industry is. We need to wean ourselves off of that, and the sooner we begin the better - climate change is the next catastrophe waiting in the starting block.
Bitcoin isn't replacing USD ( although many would want to believe that).

Who would want to spend Bitcoin in a stable country. 4,5€ transaction costs for daily purchases is not what it's intended for.

I find irony in the implicit endorsement of Google Chrome while trying to shake Google YouTube.
One of the most important features gold has is its ductility: it can be made into extremely thin, unbroken wires.
I can't bring myself to pay for user-generated content platforms that do so much censorship, which results in the creators themselves having to self-censor (apparent in how many YTers avoid saying certain words to not trigger audio analysis that would result in demonetization).

Plus a lot of the ads are in the form of sponsor segments, which YouTube premium would not skip automatically, unlike the free add-on SponsorBlock.

Also watching R-18 YouTube videos now requires uploading an ID when doing it from an European IP. A lot of those aren't even porn videos mind you, just some videos randomly classified as mature audiences only.

Their content recommendation algorithm absolutely sucks. Spotify gave me better recommendations after a few days of use while YouTube has years of history from tens of millions of people to go by and can't do anything else than cycle the same videos/channels on repeat.

I will gladly pay to use/support a free-as-in-freedom YouTube competitor though.

Netflix and Spotify are fine in that respect because it's full of professional commissioned content.
I love that somewhere out there is a developer who doesn't even work at Fastly but just innocently pushed a change to their Fastly config and basically broke the entire internet. I'm actually jealous. If it was me, I'd put that on my resume.
> If a bank is still using Cobol, it is interesting and a testament to how a Cobol programmer can still make a good living on it.

No it isn't. It's a testament to how backward that bank is. You'll see upvoted contrary takes here, sure, but that's because middlebrow contrarianism is a good way to get upvoted on HN.
I had a friend many years ago who was very smart but also quite paranoid. I noticed that even mentioning the name of someone he perceived as his enemy caused him to become very cool towards me. Anything less than a total character assassination of that person when referring to them was interpreted as advocacy for them. It was quite disorienting.

Since then I have seen how this same mentality manifests itself on a grand scale on the net. Now description is advocacy.
The potential upside of delaying highway construction by a few decades is that you could, in theory, reconsider whether it's still a good idea. Of course that's usually not what's going to happen, and most likely the project will be pushed through anyway when there's hardly any public support left for it, as with Berlin's infamous A100 extension cutting through the city.
Yes but that's not as fun (and creators get no revenue)
Youtube Red/Premium/whatever they're calling it this week is the best subscription I pay for. I would rather axe Netflix before I get ads back on Youtube.
Out of spite for the ads you won’t pay for the service, which would disable the ads?
In moving from the untyped lambda calculus to the simply typed lambda calculus, one loses the ability to have non-halting programs. For me this just illustrates a fundamental point of type systems: limit the possibilities to make them understandable. Clearly I cannot describe a typical server with the simply typed lambda calculus, I need some kind of `while true: do()`.

With dynamic typing, it is easy to make programs that work with types that are extremely difficult to describe and comprehend. I think that is what TypeScript has added so much advanced type theory level functionality: it is necessary to describe what people did with dynamically typed javascript. I imagine MyPy and company will have a similar trajectory for python. People did some really incredible things in these dynamic languages, things which are very difficult to describe formally.

Meanwhile, it seems to me at least part of the point of some statically typed languages is to force people to work with simpler type systems to solve their problems. Because those simpler types may be easier to understand even if they require more effort or more code to solve the same problem. I do think Go was far too adamant for far too long about not needing generics (also known as parametric polymorphism); seems sober minds clearly disagree about where to put the boundaries. To me it seems that statically typed languages embrace the notion of "Good enough, but not perfect." They provide enough expression to solve problems, but not enough expression to describe all solutions.
Thanks. I agree, this is like a textbook case when to use a hybrid approach. Maybe the manager wanted to make sure he will always have enough people assigned to the project (so make it more difficult to maintain)? (A very dark management pattern)
I just wish Google/YouTube would put some pressure on YouTubers to stop filling up their videos with a shit ton of advertising for VPNs, website builders, etc. It's so annoying having to skip through so many videos and I'm not interested in any of their products either.

* US $30 a month for 20/30Mbps in cities.

* Wireless data can be spotty in rural areas due to many hills and mountains. We would need an MVNO for rural areas coverage, as it wouldn't be cost effective for the four mobile networks to place a tower in every rural corner.

* Wireless coverage in cities was limited/overloaded for about 5 years due to lack of new frequencies. This was a regulatory issue fixed about 2 years ago and wireless service is finally improving

* Some companies stopped providing wired service in rural areas about 15 years ago due to copper theft. Not sure if this has improved
Yeah, I really share the sentiment.

I guess younger generations get taught the cargo cult ways of SPAs, and aren't able to realise how much simpler it can be done, specially be letting the browser do the work, instead of replicating it on a dynamic language.
Nice.

I would like something similar to replace the X in the top left corner of modal windows that suddenly cover what I'm reading while I scroll down a page, under the bizarre assumption that I might want to "Subscribe for updates!" to this blog that I have only just visited for the first time in my life because it matched my search results.
They probably should have spent that $150M reserve fund on pre-mining their own cryptocurrency (and then put it in reserve). That way at least the currency could float on its own terms with respect to the Salvadoran economy.

I think the trade-deficit between El Salvador and the rest of the world[0] will mean this is just a gimmick in the end.

Fair enough. I think it's also worth considering that in terms of technological progress, BTC has been rather shit such that this thesis of "earlier adopters" becoming the new overlords is a quite speculative argument.

Sure, in this hype cycle Bitcoin has once again had a huge inflow of capital. But if you look at Bitcoin dominance charts, you can see that it is at an all-time low, and IMO will continue to be if its community stays so conservative.
I dont' think it is as "long" game as it seems:
