Even if it were real, the bigger problem is assuming anyone knows how to accurately evaluate merit. I’ll point you to any number of books on human biases, but I particularly like The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis.

The tech version of this is extremely frustrating, because intelligent people are very good at letting their brains blind their biases and insulate their egos.

Lol comparing cryptocurrency with pokémon card is new level of... uh creative but not very bright perspective.

OK let us pretend Pokécard has some crypographically proven properties that makes it useful as currency.

Pokecard as a coin is speculative only when compared with fiat; one coin is one coin and its value stays in term of its utilities.

Regardless, further reading is usually very useful before forming strong opinion.

(1) I would argue speculative assets is a concrete use case which is a pros, it's for capital gain. Anyway, your speculative-as'a cons argument crumbles as soon as stablecoin is mentioned. Stablecoin is pegged to stable fiat.

(2) Deflation and inflation mechanism of cryptocurrency varies differently on each coin. BTC itself inflationary by nature due to its halving mechanism. Other coins may have same or diffrent approach.

By now I hope you would see the benefit of forming informed opinion: there are a lot types of Pokécard—I mean cryptocurrencies, reading few sentence about BTC does not mean it encompasses all cryptocurrency . ;)

Finally, since you are so obsessed with cryptocurrency as a way to subvert govt: it's only one of use case.

Stellar or Cardano (I forget) aims to be backbone for scalable, and cheap payment network, Ethereum is not only a currency, it has smart contract that allows you execute your program. Those has zero thing to do with a working govt or not.
I find that hard to believe, but maybe the compiler crowd fell in love with the transpiler.

Seriously though - in your comment, you described the landscape of knowledge whereby it is EASY for any given corp to mis-step without a 'you' on staff or contract.

Now, as the NSA has released in the past best practices around security and such (like how to lockdown a linux box for example)

Wouldn;t it be prudent for the .gov to be able to present a salient security posture recommendation in such a format as you present above?

Meaning - WHY THE FUCK DONT WE HAVE A SECURITY.GOV WEBSITE THAT STATES EXACTLY HOW TO SECURE YOUR [THING] and CLICK HERE FOR EXPERTISE ON HOW TO SO???

We are in the Digital Nuke age. We should act as such.

You get the idea...
I think HN rules are still behind the times. One of the rules discourages multiple accounts, in an attempt to create a community. OTOH: a longer paper trail means more easy to identify. This is why I create a new account every few months. Since I cannot delete old posts to "cover my tracks", I have no choice if I want to use the site. Maybe I just shouldn't use HN. I dunno. I learn a lot from discussions, but I don't always tell the truth because I don't want to be traced.
I think articles about this subject have been flagged at least a dozen times.
Have you have seen the food source the way it comes out of the ground or the womb?
I concur. I always thought HN is a technically-biased community. Not on this section.
It makes you wonder how much censorship bad actors accomplish in less blatantly obvious ways.
Well, if Paul was mistaken, then he should have been informed- not kicked out of YC for a misunderstanding don’t you think? Sounds like abuse of power
“I’m being silenced” seems to be the 21st century equivalent of “They don’t want you to hear the truth”.
Hey does have some suggestions further down in the article. I like the bit that precedes the suggestions:

> Most people’s time is eaten up by things like school and work. Obviously if you attend one of these, you should stop. But what else can you do?
I was curious about this bit from https://ziglang.org/download/0.8.0/release-notes.html#Self-H..., since I work on the new LLD for Mach-O backend:

> Additionally, it is doubtful that the new backend will allow for seamless cross-compilation to macOS since every macOS binary is required to be a PIE and link dynamically against libSystem dylib, which will require the lib's presence on the host for the lld to reference and link against.

This is true, but it's a platform requirement, not a linker requirement. How does zig's linker get around this? Does it produce static binaries (LC_UNIXTHREAD instead of LC_MAIN)?
The study didn't conclude that there was mismatch, because it didn't measure whether or not students chose differently when given information on their likely academic performance given their level of ability:

> In sum, Duke’s private information on student performance is important beyond the
student’s grade point average, affecting both the student’s subjective well-being as well
as the likelihood of persisting in a difficult major. It is important to note, however, that
we have still only established that some of the necessary conditions for mismatch are
met. For mismatch to exist, information must not only be important but the revelation of
the information must change the institution the individual would have chosen to attend.
Hence, even if individuals find out they are not as academically strong as they thought,
the information still may not have changed their decisions.

Let's not lose track of what I initially claimed: that lower levels of academic preparedness lead to students changing out of science/engineering majors, and that this was consistent across race. The study did find that this was true. And this was limited to students at an elite university. Mismatch is about what students would have done when given this information, which is not directly related to my claim
The response body itself for key requests, such as for license validations, contains a timestamp to prevent replay attacks. You can also send nonces, which will be echoed back. :)

But it is worth mentioning -- I am working on improving the request signature header to include more info such as current token and date. Just need to finish some other stuff on the roadmap first.
The Epic Opportunity (Of the Internet)
The door was closed and locked, but they a) didn't revoke an old key that got tied to it and b) didn't attempt to verify it was expected person using it when it was tried on the door. Making the distinction because I don't believe they were explicitly inviting people to rob them as much as they didn't take sufficient precautions in a bad neighborhood.
It's definitely a problem that LLVM has features which are in practice not really exercised by C++ (because the ISO C++ standard says something is Undefined Behaviour) and so clang doesn't need to use those features yet LLVM developers too often act as though only C++ matters. Rust spent a while with trivial crashes if you have an infinite loop. Here's how that happened as I understand it:

From Rust's point of view infinite loops are well formed. Sure, your program never exits but that's what you told it to do, so it's your problem not Rust's.

However in C++ that isn't a thing. In C++ an infinite loop is Undefined Behaviour. And so LLVM just didn't have working infinite loop code. If your C++ program has an infinite loop, too bad the ISO Standard says your program is wrong, clang is behaving as intended. Sure that's crazy but C++ programmers have a sort of Stockholm Syndrome.

So LLVM had a bug, but because the most important customer of LLVM is clang, and clang didn't care about this hideous bug while its users had just become numbed to the consequences, the bug lived on for ages.

I don't see that alternative formulation as so different really?

I'm sure you have a good point, I'm just not sure how to do it better. I needed to give enough of an explanation to satisfy people's curiosity at least a little bit even though I can't satisfy it for real. I also needed to make sure that my comment had enough information in it to answer (let's say) the top 10 obvious objections, or it would have brought a flood of them down on my head.
Just yesterday started exploring sockpuppet[1] and was impressed with the speed. Websockets made any change feel instant. Also liked how it uses data attributes to specify dynamic behavior. It should be powerful enough to build simple interactions but has clear way to extend for complexity.
Will try today how sockpuppet works with django-tenants[2], if it does it will become my go-to toolset for web development.

I have found this to be effective, the problem for me is getting into the routine. When it worked, I got up earlier in the morning and was able to devote 1-2 hours to personal projects, 3-4 mornings per week.
At some point, the habit gets interrupted and it's been tough for me to get back into it.
The episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where the doctor and engineer are trapped in a cargo bay with burning toxic fuel is, oddly, one of the most "hard science fiction" scenes in the whole show. They decide, given everything on the ship isn't working after a disaster, that they must vent it to space to extinguish the fire, and they have to do so manually, and without suits.

So they hyperventilate and exhale as hard as they can. Brace themselves against a support. And then they pop the door. Their hair and clothes ripple as the air rushes out. They get dizzy and have about ten seconds of useful consciousness to start the re-pressurization process. No exploding heads, no instant death. Just a torrent of air and then frost creeping over skin during a profound silence as the seconds run out. Accuracy turned out to have better drama, for once.
In theory. I've deleted my Facebook account. Few years later needed to create new one and used same e-mail address. Guess what welcomed me! My old account!

As a sibling said, if you can get the cpu into real mode, you can probably do whatever else you want, so it being there isn't a real security worry.

Dropping real and virtual mode wouldn't save a whole lot anyway; for the most part, the instruction set is the same, regardless of mode, just register selection is a bit different, and fiddling with segment registers is significantly different.

Mostly, the full boot process isn't understood in depth by many people because very few people need to know about it in depth. Really full boot process includes detecting and enabling ram and all that, and there's a handful of companies that provide most of the firmware images for everyone ... OSes usually start from the BIOS boot convention or UEFI, so they don't need to know all that early boot stuff. Well, really, bootloaders start there, OSes can start at multiboot or UEFI if they want to save some work. An SMP OS will still need to know a little bit about real mode though, because application processors (non-boot processors) start in real mode, complete with segmented addresses, and need to get into protected mode themselves.
Going by the terrible colour bleed I see regularly I'd say quite a few of them, somewhere along their lifetimes.

Another take is that those running HN know what kind of forum they want (one that promotes community) and understand and accept that trade-off. 'dang has written about this at length, so I think that's very likely the case.

That's not one you're willing to make and you adjust your behavior accordingly. HN can't be all things to all people. And that's okay.

You clearly find some value in HN as it is because you continue to use it. Something to consider: changes you might like to see may very well change the community as a whole to make it less a place you want to be. Hard to say, without running the experiment, but one of the hazards is that running the experiment could irreparably damage/change HN. And rebooting it would be likely nigh impossible. (If it were easy, we'd all create the fora we wanted.)
> the kind of thing you’re describing could be seen by a reasonable person as unethical

False. A reasonable person would know that the shots don't last after they are thawed out. If someone skipped the appointment, the ethical thing to do is put it in the next warm body that's standing by rather than waste the shot. No one owes anyone any "coming clean" over encouraging others not to let those shots go to waste.
Given the definitions in a textbook on smooth manifolds, I agree with you -- the modern notion of a vector space has no notion of root or anchor since these words have no associated definitions.

It's interesting to think about how we came to the modern viewpoint. Some of the underlying context behind my comment is that long ago manifolds were concretely subsets of R^n that could be locally parameterized. The tangent space at a point was the affine subspace of R^n that was tangent to the manifold there, and you could regard a tangent vector as an arrow rooted at that point inside that subspace. Even though we have our clean modern notion of an abstract vector space, somehow these old intuitions linger on in other disciplines

In math we have a precise definition for a vector (an element of a vector space, full stop), but I don't think experts have the authority to be prescriptive about jargon outside their discipline. Of course, a student should be willing to drop preconceptions and to absorb correct usage.
None of the rules around vaccination make sense to me -- nor do I have faith in the politicians who came up with them -- so I find it difficult to judge the person accused of skipping the line. But I do find it easy to judge the person who shamed him. And that judgment is that he's annoying and should mind his own business.
I hate it when YouTube channels put the subject of the video at the end of the title. It gets cropped and I can’t tell which videos are of interest to me without clicking on each one to see what it’s about.
I got vaccinated at one of these West Oakland "first come, first serve" vaccination sites back in March. They were administering J&J vaccines (which do not thaw) with no residency check, and not even a poster saying "please don't line up unless you live in this neighborhood." No statement of intent at all.

Others standing in line asked coordinators walking the line, "Am I eligible here?" and the coordinators responded, without hesitation, "Yes, you're in the right place! Stay in line." No questions asked.

The vaccination site may well have been "intended" for West Oakland residents and/or underprivileged folks, but if that's right, they could have at least put up a sign saying so, and maybe the coordinator(s) could have said "this vaccine is intended for West Oakland residents only."

I think there's an argument to be made that everyone in line who didn't live in West Oakland should have just assumed that the vaccine wasn't intended for them, but I strongly believe that the ethics of the situation are "If you're offered a vaccine, take it." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/21/opinion/covid-vaccine-eth... It's not just for you; it's for everyone around you, especially children and others who can't be vaccinated.

What is wrong with this community, jfc
> Normally, of course, we'd downweight this sort of petty drama.

Down weight? So you guys internally pick and choose topics to weight down? I thought HN was purely community driven with only comments being moderated.

Of course on the surface you guys say you only downweight petty drama but I truly wonder if that's actually true. The fact that you guys downweight anything without trusting the community makes me question how fair, balanced and unbiased things are on HN.

Additionally the person who this tweet was about posted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27400221 and it doesn't seem like drama. It seems like injustice and misinterpretation and stubborn refusal. His only option is to appeal to the public but of course YC has to color it with their bias.

It really looks like he was kicked out over a tweet from his perspective. Getting kicked out of YC may seem petty to YC but it is not petty to the person who was kicked out. Even Dang calling this kind of thing "petty drama" does unparalleled damage to his reputation.

The right way to deal with this is not to touch this post and let paul make blog post or something and see if the community votes it up on HN.
Yes it did.

All the fema pop up sites ran out every day and thus shut down and turned people away.

I read their works. They were on about the ability of LSD to undermine the establishment. (They may have been right). The result of their success was a vicious clamp down.

My view was crystallised by HST in his "Looking west from Vegas with the right kind of eyes..." monologue in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (it is in the film, if reading books is not your thing. The film is, IMO, a faithful portrayal of the book)

When it comes to drugs, I am more of a follower, not a imitator, of HST than Leary. Drugs should be fun. When they stop being fun, stop doing drugs. Real simple!

A large company going bust doesn't imply that demand for other public companies was somehow fabricated.

The more apt comparison here would be something along the lines of the recent run up in TSLA being the result of purchasing from the infinite margin bug from Robinhood a while back. It would turn out the demand wasn't real, only there because it was free.

The implications for Bitcoin and other crypto also purchased with Tether, or with Bitcoin are a lot bigger than you'd imagine.

I remember reading about David Shaw (of D.E Shaw), and how he annually donated $1MM to each HYPS school, over a period of six years - and then some to a couple of other schools. That's like at least $24MM just to get your kids to the best schools - these are the kids you're competing against, though probably outliers in above example.

The elite school -> elite (or important) jobs pipeline is something you see in every country, and that's how it's been forever, but I think things are getting a bit better. My only concern would be that we're not getting enough "class" diversity.
> I thought HN was purely community driven with only comments being moderated

HN is a curated site, always has been, and has never claimed otherwise.

It is an interaction between three subsystems: community, software, and moderators. All three are necessary. If you or anyone would like to know more, here are some links to past explanations to start with. If there are still questions after familiarizing yourself with that material, I'd be happy to answer them.

But he didn't lie. Many clinics are opening up to first-come, first-served because vax rates are dropping and they still have inventory. Feels like drama?
So I’m guessing this was that west Oakland pop up fema site.

Encouraging people who did not live nearby to come there and get vaccinated is both against the letter and spirit of the “law” and the intention of the site.

It’s a pretty scummy thing to do. Fuck you friend.
There is buffee and pistorm which both plug into a 68000 socket and emulate a 68000, faster than the stock processor.

Pistorm runs musashi and can even do 68030/68040 along with peripherals in the high memory area (above 24bits) things like additional ram and IDE.

It's very cool
Agree. Really not tooting my own horn but I qualified very early for the vaccine because I am a “farm worker” and while I really do work at a farm and all employees qualified early, I’m actually a robotics engineer with no necessary contact between me and those that tend the fields. I have an isolated office and I work alone.

I felt that if I ever decided to get the shot because of my employment as a “farm worker”, there would be one elderly person or real essential worker that had to wait another day. And that didn’t seem fair. So I waited until the general population could get vaccinated in April.

Just because technically someone will give you the shot doesn’t mean you’ve made an ethical decision.
