It's been far too volatile to use as a store of value so it's about as useful as a moneywire service. I would love to see BTC stabalise at the very least, but it's been demonstrated that all it takes to decimate someone's wallet is a twitter post. That's not something that happens to the USD or the AUD. Not yet anyway.
I cannot see how nuclear power is worth the risk.

There are usually a large number of pro nuclear comments on articles related to nuclear power on HN.

Events like this help to confirm my point of view.

I will second these recommendations and add Armor by John Steakley.

It's a sci-fi book that made sense of PTSD for me.
complexity .. maybe, 80Mhz ... heck no. However, this is all off-the-shelf ware and as long as the energy consumption is not a problem, I am fine.
Hey! I would use this for the remarkable tablet which I believe has an API. It also has a larger screen.

Some feedback, rather than every article as a doc, I’d love it if were a PDF by day, and the table of contents is News list, and linked to the article.

If you have the HN article scraper, I can take a crack at the pdf builder
There are 5 million Chinese citizens in the U.S, why cant it work with 200 million more? 5 million more Palestinians is exactly the difference between being a majoriry and controlling your future to being a minority. There are not so many examples of this working out. Jews lived in relative peace in Palestine when they were a tiny Arab speaking minority, now they are seen as a colonialist entity. Jews were almost entirely cleansed from all Arab countries to the point we have today only a few thousands left (they used to number a million). Even in European cities in 2021 there are big question marks on whether Jews and Muslims can live together. The animosity now became religious as well so its unclear if it wll stop if Zionism stops.
And again, where is the expectation of democracy coming from? The state you are proposing is as likely to become democratic as China or Egypt.
You're absolutely right. My main driver is a Linux machine which isn't compatible with Honorlock. I'm very lucky to have inherited another laptop that is compatible.

If you liked this article, "Company Man" on YouTube has a lot of great videos about companies and their histories. The "rise and fall" is a common theme -- occasionally you'll get a "rise and fall and rise again" story.

Oh wait, it seems this only gives comments?
I have it on good authority that this one will continue...
You seem to be getting reflexive downvotes, but let's stop for a minute and see what you are actually proposing according to the rules you mentioned:

If something else gets an EUA at this point, it would have to have nothing comparable and solve a critical issue in the US. We have now considerable evidence that multiple different vaccines are highly effective at training your body to defend itself against COVID. Therefore, your statement implies this is new wonder drug which does better. So, it must both reverse permanent damage and be almost 100% effective at stopping and curing COVID. And it must both be something we've always known about and is something we have never seen before.

Clearly this wasn't true 9-12 months ago before the vaccine trials finished, so this would have been quite different then, but I digress: we probably don't have a time machine (or do we? Pfizer et al. might stand to lose a great deal if we do).

And, yes, if somehow all that happened, I think we'd all be very happy, even Pfizer et al. Also very confused. But happy.
But cryptocurrencies have zero intrinsic value: If only one person owned all the $COIN and refused to part with any of it, the world wouldn’t accept its use, and would just create another currency with similar properties.

What you’ve neglected to mention is altcoins of every stripe can’t accomplish anything whatsoever — be it running “smart contracts”, acting as a medium of exchange, or securing the value of assets built on top of them — if no one is willing to speculatively hold them as a store of value first.

Touting themselves as the “oil” or the “internet” to Bitcoin’s gold is a rhetorical strategy employed by altcoin promoters to bootstrap speculative value storage on the networks they’re invested in. Without speculative value storage, they have nothing, the blockchain halts, and no one can use it for anything.

It’s all a total confidence game to its very core, without exception, and it irks me to no end when people egregiously misrepresent this reality, particularly for financially motivated reasons.

Case in point: “It’s not intended to be money. Most crypto currency’s aren’t.”
Thank you for commenting.

1. Does the reMarkable tablet support email document delivery? If so then hntokindle should work as it is now.

2. It supports hyperlink, So you can read the story as well depending upon how the your e-book reader renders it. ( I can see why you had the doubt, Since the demo shows only comments; But the mileage of story rendering depends upon the webpage. When the webpage sticks to proper web standards, then it's great).

Reg the PDF vs DOC

Fixed document format like PDF does help in better styling but doesn't support hyperlinks on Kindle. DOC supports hyperlink, But styling is limited.

> I’d love it if were a PDF by day, and the table of contents is News list, and linked to the article.

That's a good suggestion, But the aforementioned PDF-hyperlink issue and huge difference with rendering quality of web pages prevent combining the story and HN comments in a single document. But I will look at ways for addressing it for tablets which don't have these issues if there are others like you.
In addition to all the other recommendations, I recommend Blindsight. You can buy it where all good books are sold, or the author also gives it away on his website (https://rifters.com/real/Blindsight.htm) but considers it good form to send a donation his way if you enjoy it.

Some fans of the book put together a short teaser trailer for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkR2hnXR0SM
A kg of gold is a kg of gold anywhere. So yes if you want to know the value of a currency you need to compare it to something else, USD not being an exception.

I didn't thought that this story will blow up. That's great.

To clarify, I didn't wrote the article https://www.sffworld.com/forum/threads/i-miss-the-old-intern.... A guy named Jonathan Scott Griffin wrote it.
I tried to find him because I want to send him a message that I have posted his article on HN. I found his medium profile https://medium.com/about-me-stories/about-me-jonathan-scott-... (not sure if it's him).

what I find strange is that my Hue bridge refuses to be detected unless I am connected to the 2.4Ghz network instead of the 5Ghz network, it doesn't make any sense to me because the bridge is connected directly by an ethernet cable, and there is no segmenting enabled on my router.
I'm by no means a prominent employee within the company, but I am unusually well-remunerated for my role. I attribute this to hiding about 1/3 of what I do from my manager until it's ready to demonstrate.

I usually have 1-2 projects my manager knows about and is regularly tracking, then 2-3 "skunkworks" projects in various stages of development that get prioritized based on the word around the org. For example, I might hear from our data center team at a regular meeting that they need to buy 5% more racks based on current usage projections. I might have been working on optimizing a key data saving routine that reduces usage by 10% (fictitious numbers), so this gets bumped up in priority. So when my manager asks the team the following week if they have any ideas on how to improve our code, I've already got something halfway working. My manager (and I) get to look good, and I got to amortize the work across a few months instead of suffering through crunch time.
Every HN thread has to have a comment like this... Look at me, my ancient machine can (barely) get stuff done. But I can't wrap my head around this... why torment yourself like this. Who pays for the lost productivity with these shenanigans? Do you value your time so little? If freelance, do you pass it on to your customers? If job, does nobody notice that you're taking ages getting stuff done? My hourly rate is nearly minimum wage but I have a $5K PC build and the latest MBP. I can't imagine even using a web browser with 4GB RAM. Virtual machines? Android Emulator?? Compiling a Java application?? How...
Maybe this could be a new take on "a modern pocket calculator has far more computing power than the moon landing systems in '69". A modern lavalamp has as much computing power as my mid 90s desktop PC.
Stephenson has done some great things, but dude needs an editor badly. I'm afraid success has scared off anyone who can tell him when to stop.

Fall, had some interesting and vivid passages, but the whole "Dodge wakes up in a simulation with a brain injury" bit, and really the rest of the book from there to the end could have been cut. That would leave us with a much better 350 page novel about the near future instead of yet another Stephenson -- much longer than the original! -- attempt at retelling the Book of Genesis.
Yes, but not a single open-source driver can make a render with Blender 3D.
Someone will do it, I'm sure.

Now, to figure out how to pump in the soundtrack ...
I agree about V2V and I2V.

But I don't agree about costs being the biggest issue atm. A lack of V2V/I2V standards is currently the largest issue.
Of course? If it's for 768px and your post-scaled resolution is 1920px then of course it's narrow and small.

The point is it should be the same on 2K monitor with 1x scaling AND 4k monitor with 2x scaling.
What a bunch of BS.

Why the hell do they still need government help if they manage $41tn?

Or - more likely - do they manage $41tn precisely because they are positioned to benefit from (wasteful, as if there's any other kind) government spending and the "investors" are in only because you know how this crony capitalism with socialist characteristics functions?

Put your money where your mouth is, thieves.
Yes. The trick is getting it to release ions to be carried away by the wind without expending too much power doing it.

Thus far people seem to have been making cathodes like in vacuum tubes, using heat or high voltage to drive electrons out of emitters like you see in ion-generator room-air cleaners.

That might be a dead end, from a complexity, cost, and power waste standpoint. On the other hand, maybe maintaining a second grid at high voltage relative to an emitter array could be simple enough, with just one charge pump for the whole system that need not burn much power.

But a purely passive, air-friction driven system ought to be more foolproof.

Probably either would work, so it just comes down to cost and extraction efficiency. A single active grid that can capture a high fraction of the available power (up to theoretical maximum around 30%) might end up better that a whole bunch of stacked, cheap, passive grids.

The materials science needed to make the somewhat-conductive, hydrophobic, passive-grid streamers that readily give up electrons to colliding air molecules seems within reach, but that is not a thing I know enough about.
Snow Crash is his best book. Imaginative and punchy as fuck.

Cryptonomicon is very good too. Should be a must read for people who want to make another Tor :)

Don’t Let the Pandemic Affect Your Engineering Studies
>When we need is more efficient and less expensive cars and better driver training programs.

I bet human drivers are already mostly safe - I think most accidents are broadly in 3 categories, (1) impairment (drinking, age, sleep) or (2) distraction (cell phone, makeup) or (3) weather. The first two wont be solved by better training programs and the last would be really hard to make a requirement (how do you train people to drive in the snow in Los Angeles)?. If you want safer roads, it would be more wise to spend that money on public transportation. On a per capita basis it would be cheaper and safer.

That said I don't think the rush to autonomous driving is as altruistic as the developers claim. For $250B you could massively overhaul the transportation systems for major cities. However there is little upside to capture by doing do; while autonomous driving has the potential to create a last-mile autonomous transportation system that would massively reduce the costs of transporting goods and people (by removing labor costs). Capturing that upside is far more lucrative.

I think the question is less "we will only see AV commonplace when it's unilaterally safer than humans", and more "we will see AV commonplace when the value generated exceeds the potential costs of fatal accidents". It's after AV is commonplace will the value captured from human drivers be used to reduce costs in the failures of AV. For example, if UPS were to convert their 50% fleet to AV, then they would use the money saved to then invest in V2V or I2V infrastructure in order to accelerate the transition of the rest of their fleet.
> Here blockchain is seeing a pretty good adoption, although mostly in private networks.

No, it isn’t. There are some pilot projects but more have been abandoned than completed. And you don’t need blockchain for this.
You’re getting a ton of great recommendations for novels, but I would recommend also checking out some short story collections. Story stories are maybe the perfect format for science fiction, since it lets brilliant ideas play out rapidly. Check out “The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson”, “Stories of Your Life and Others” and “Exhalation” by Ted Chiang, “Pump Six and Other Stories” by Paolo Bacigalupi, and “Burning Chrome” by William Gibson.
So, for example, you shouldn't eat algae Omega-3 because it hasn't been processed by a fish first? Aren't the fish why you end up with lead and mercury contamination?
I understand there are shortages of Romex style electrical cable, not because of copper, but because of insulation. Perhaps because of the resin issue you mention?
It’s not clear what the event is yet. But it’s already somehow confirmed something for you, which maybe means you should question how you’re assessing the risks. And what evidence would ever change your mind on them. Lots of HN commenters are pro nuclear because once you put aside your preconceptions and biases and learn about it you learn it’s one of the safest, cleanest, and most reliable forms of power we’ve ever created, in spite of the big headline accidents.
Euro 2020 football competition in progress, brings two more examples.

Commentators talking about how beautiful and artful some players abilities to consistently foul their opponents just enough to stop play, but without getting a yellow card. Players who cynically dive, roll around on the floor acting at every opportunity, or honestly try to claim a corner / throw in should be theirs even when they’re clearly the last to make contact with the ball before it goes out of play.

I only vaguely remember a time when calling it “the beautiful game” didn’t seem ironic.

The need to win at any cost has become paramount and pervasive.
He who wastes the most wins is not a description of the incentives in my opinion. Miners actually need to be efficient to win. It's why Bitcoin is driven by ASIC chips right now. They are on the cutting edge of computational efficiency and you may not realize, but have been driving technology quite a lot especially chip technogy and "computer programs directly to chip" tech. And guess how much potential energy consumption that saves. Think overclocking a 386 cpu to 1ghz vs chip tech today. Now imagine how ASIC design can potentially cut that even further for general purpose computing.
In addition to everything everyone else said, I have loved all of Ted Chiang's short stories. And almost everything Neal Stephenson's written, with the exception of REAMDE (which I personally found rather forgettable).

I would also recommend Dune, but unlike some of the other commenters, I would recommend the entire series. At the very least, read Dune and Dune Messiah together. (I found the first 100 pages or so of Dune a bit tough going, but once you get into it, it's fantastic.)
On HN and Reddit people are engaged in the characteristic activity of friendship - discussing topics of mutual interest - yet it would be pretty sad if that’s all someone had for friends.

On web forums like HN people post regardless of who might be reading. That's an important difference.

You have a point, but ultimately the internet is now almost entirely profit driven and largely controlled by a few key players.

The landscape is very different; I'd argue society is not in a better position as a result.
I'm a currently-on-unemployment former barista with years of hobby and freelance coding experience, I've spent much of my time on unemployment getting professional certifications and doing some bigger learning projects. I'm interviewing non-stop these days trying to land that entry level junior engineer role now, and it gives me heart to see other food service refugees have made it. I've passed every coding challenge I've been given but seem to get ghosted when employers learn my most recent gig was hustling my ass off pulling espresso shots just to survive. Back on topic, I didn't go the Chromebook route, instead I got a ten year old HP Elitebook at a second hand shop, added an SSD and maxed out its memory, and I couldn't be happier! I spent less than $300 and it's easily my favorite laptop I've ever owned.
If they don’t, you vote them out. You don’t get rid of politicians even with direct democracy.

Politicians faced with inconsistent referendum results (not budget neutral) aren’t even able to deliver. If people got a chance to vote for lower taxes and increased government spending, they would. But who will deliver? A party that promises both those things would be considered crazy/populist (hopefully) and lose the election.
"Termination Shock takes readers on a thrilling, chilling visit to our not-too-distant future – a world in which THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT has inexorably RESULTED IN a whirling-dervish troposphere of superstorms, rising sea levels, global flooding, merciless heat waves, and VIRULENT, DEADLY PANDEMICS." (emphasis mine)
Can anyone explain-me-like-5 possible logic here?
Yes, of course, when working on a piece of code (a low-level task), one should know where it sits within the bigger system. One needs to know all kinds of things about what lives both upstream and downstream, as well as some high-level architecture of the system as a whole. But the implication above (which I disagreed with) was that "good coding skills" (and thus a filter during hiring) implied "good documentation skills" does not follow from any of that.

Again: Code is always "low-level" (regardless of how much you do or don't know about the rest of the system) just like most API documentation. The complaint of the original article wasn't about API documentation, but about higher-level conceptual documentation being lacking. And just like not all "coders" may be able to design a large and complex system (though they may certainly be able to understand it) they also may be unable to document those high-level conceptual aspects of the system.
Lots of humans adapt to fine control of cars relatively quickly, and that's through the clumsy mechanisms of steering wheel, pedals, and shifter.
Personally I've ordered a new thinkpad but it's slated to come in 3 months, with the delivery date extended once already. I went to Target and bought some lowend (slightly higher than chromebook) laptop and ubuntu is running fine on it. Of course I can't do anything too memory intensive, but regular dev work is decent for a <500 dollar machine.
