There are very smart people on 4chan. A well known example:

> Fans were arguing online about the best order to watch the episodes, and the 4chan poster wondered: If viewers wanted to see the series in every possible order, what is the shortest list of episodes they’d have to watch? [...] In less than an hour, an anonymous person offered an answer — not a complete solution, but a lower bound on the number of episodes required. [...] The proof slipped under the radar of the mathematics community for seven years — apparently only one professional mathematician spotted it at the time, and he didn’t check it carefully. [...] Then Robin Houston, a mathematician at the data visualization firm Kiln, and Jay Pantone of Marquette University in Milwaukee independently verified the work of the anonymous 4chan poster [1].

This example tells us a few things. One is that 4chan has users who can come up with new complicated mathematical proofs in a matter of hours. Two - that there are professional mathematicians who read 4chan and can spot those proofs.

Also anecdotally, but on two separate occasions I accidentally discovered that a "smart and well-adjusted" person I know lurks on 4chan. In one such instance the response was similar to "reddit is where dumb people try to act smart, while 4chan is where smart people try to act dumb". I think there is at least some truth in that.

Correct. my point is that security is no good full stop if there is only one layer.

Even temporary rules and default states aren’t protected against until your automation is complete if your box is on the public internet. Or if you screw your automation up, the same happens.
Evacuation Failure and Object Pinning
I used a little bit of hot glue to seal the screw holes I drilled into the back, and rubber washers for both the camera and the button in the front. Haven't had too many rainy days yet, but it seems to be holding up in the fog at least!
Thanks for your comment. Yes I agree the absolute value in some coin is not a great metric.

> In normal web/systems programming you have layers of security; In crypto you have none of that.

Yes, that's what I mean. Why not?

> The key is that the contracts need to be minimal and analyzable

Agree, but even short contracts might have bugs. Betting on "self-paying bug bounts" is not a good bet.

What I'm proposing is that every smart contract double-checks its expected results

How can you know if you haven't eaten in a restaurant since early 2020? Here in France, i had absolutely never seen it before the pandemic, but now it's ubiquitous even if roughly half the places also have a paper menu they can give/give anyways.
> BTW: replace "drugs" with "guns" and you sound like "guns don't kill people, people do".

I think this misses the nuances of these arguments. I can speak for my self, where my view points could be summarized to be to increase restrictions on guns and legalize all drugs. You would be right this seems to be inconsistent.

But that's not really my view point at least. Guns are necessary to some degree, but I dont think they need to be given out at as freely as they are. Not everyone needs one, i think we can restrict through something like applications you has one and who doesn't. Also restrict the types of firearms(And im not here to debate gun control, im just explaining there's more then just a one liner to the opinion)

With drugs, I think we can legalize them all. But this also doesn't mean a free for all on availability. We should have limits on marketing, age restrictions, improved education. Like heroine should be available from a store, but maybe only in a plain white box, with a label on it. No one gets to market it as cool.

Sorry if it sounds like a blame the victim (I'm probably doing it, yeah) but if you know all that, and even if you don't, having a DB server meant to be accessed only internally with a public IP is basically wrong under all circumstances. I mean, the docker "footgun" can be valid if you are running a single host with multiple services, some of them public and some of them private, and dockerizing the private ones gets them exposed to the Internet, even if you had a firewall rule to manage that. That's fine, let's blame Docker. But in this case I'm sorry but the Docker behavior just exposed a broken design.

I really hope they learn from all this the right lesson, which is not to just blame docker, but to carefully think whether you really need to use the Internet as a mean of internal communication for your services.
This should really be the top comment in the thread.
proof of work is the most efficient way to model independent scarce money and it also is the greenest industry around and it's also driving development of green energy capacities. i truly don't understand people with opinion like yours - it's like you didn't even stop for a second to think about it and just jumped to conclusion: energy usage = bad.

sorry, energy usage is great and we should be doing more of it. energy production can be bad, so go rage at dirty energy producers.

Edit: oh and by the way, you made it very obvious that you're biased and can't think straight on this topic by using the term "proof of waste", there is literally zero waste in proof of work.
This is interesting. How would they even know you're high on cannabis while you're driving?

As far as I know there's no way to tell. Last I checked the available drug tests could only tell if you've used cannabis in the last 30 days, not if you used it on the day you were driving.. and even if you had that doesn't mean you were high at the time you drove.

Drug tests should really be replaced with performance tests.

It's none of their business if you're high. What matters is if you can drive safely.
No, the assumption is that the collateral can be liquidated at (1-x%) of loan value, and that the bank has x% in loan reserve capital to make up the losses.
A few years ago I went to a fascinating exhibition on plywood at the V&A museum (a design museum in London).

I didn't realise how versatile it is as a material. From chairs to boats to planes and construction - it's applications are wide-reaching.

This short video from the exhibition website explains how plywood is made:

"Plywood's unique combination of lightness, strength and flexibility has helped revolutionise design over the last 150 years, but its manufacturing process has changed little. Taking you on a journey from tree to board, watch our animation to discover how plywood is made."

https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/how-is-plywood-made

And for anyone interested in the use of plywood by craft makers, designers, and architects, this excellent article from the same exhibition provides an introduction:

https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/inside-the-plywood-material-o...

Exceprt from the above article:

"Plywood was particularly common as a building material in countries with an existing history of building with timber. It was deployed on a national scale in the USA in the 1930s and '40s."
Ah yeah I’m on the industry side of things, where such fixes just get expensed out the next day...can’t imagine trying to get a grant for every problem...
Every bank will reimburse you in the event of getting hacked or fraudulent withdrawals (to varying degrees), so withdrawal limits reduce their liability.

Bitcoin doesn't provide any protections in the case of your money being stolen, so it doesn't impose any limits.

Depends what you prioritise I suppose.
Interesting to see this on HN! This is a friends company and theyve put a lot of time and effort into it, seems like its getting through.
ARM support for Windows seems like it would predate this emulation effort by quite a while, but I'm not sure.

Historically system DLLs on windows aren't vulnerable to this kind of API skew because there's a special ABI specifically for windows APIs referred to as "stdcall", everything exported from user32.dll etc is exposed via that ABI. I would expect the same to be true here. Note also that historically there aren't separate copies of all the system DLLs on windows for 32 and 64 bit, most of the 32 bit DLLs are full of thunks that jump to the 64-bit ones if you're running on a 64-bit Windows. So that approach would also be possible here.
I am not sure about this. If you stare at anything for long enough you get peculiar effects in your vision (try it).

That said, in the last year or so I have begun to enjoy music from the extractor fan in our kitchen. Each time it is on I hear a random genre of music - plain chant, brass band, jazz, etc. I don't experience it in any other context (or any other hallucinations before you ask). Anyone else get something like this?

Ideally they would use a styled <details> element, which provides exactly the desired behavior without needing JavaScript.

Edit: At least, exactly the desired behavior for accordions within the page, where, once you expand a section, you expect it to close again only if you click the section header a second time. It would be less suited for a dropdown menu, which needs to be dismissed if the user clicks anywhere else on the page - though there might be some way to make it work.
i'm curious what problems these bridges are trying to fix?

i guess that current pedestrian bridges are expensive.

it makes me think -- wouldn't a crossing at grade (at the ground level) be cheaper? better? allow wildlife to still cross easily? fit more nicely with 'the environment'?

i guess having a bridge could be safer. at least statistically. maybe?

what's the real agenda?

Compatibility with the rest of the ARM development & tooling world is one fairly large reason to stick with the original ARM64 ABI.
I would imagine, for example that GCC would not now work for ARM64EC and therefore you're getting locked-in to a Microsoft world by using this.
If an action can be adequately explained by stupidity but requires more assumptions than explaining it via malice does, then accepting Hanlon's razor would be in violation of Occam's razor.
I do; when I feel really strongly about something I always try and challenge my opinions. I like to hear both sides of the debate and make up my own mind. I'd like to think I have more than a passing knowledge of Bitcoin and crypto and the ecosystem in general. Not as much as some, to be sure. I am open to being wrong, and of course it goes without saying that I've learned a lot from you and our various back-and-forths! :)

I work in payments, and have for a long time now so it's important I have at least something of an informed opinion on cryptocurrency in general. I've also got a few friends who did very well in crypto (and some who haven't done very well at all).

I follow and often engage with Paolo Ardoino too! :) I think in a different life he and I would be great friends.

I agree, Pomp is right about the mechanics, I was referring to the tactless way in which he chose to honor the life of Mircea - in terms of his own enrichment.
> You are talking about how things are right now and I am talking about how things should be to make things fair. 2 very different things.

You may have pivoted to that now, but no, you started by talking about what you believed the law was, and how you thought Facebook was breaking it.

I have no problem with you being of the opinion that we should regulate publishers. I mean it's usually a first amendment violation, but I too want some of those on occasion. However just understand that the law does not, and never has, made a distinction between a platform and publisher. That difference was invented in like 2017.
No. I mean, I have used sqlite with dbmail (not a web app) in this way sometime late 2000s, but if you're just going to load the table into memory anyway, you might as well skip the SQL and just record the data.

For example, I did a "sandwich store" app that would list orders in JSON. These were written to a log file via a PHP script. The replication tool would copy them to the "home base" (the store itself). When the kitchen would print an order, it would record a log line saying the order was started, and this would be replicated via a different logfile to the two web servers. The user might submit an order and not see it right away, but I hid this using a cookie so you might only notice if you were using two web browsers logged in with the same user. The receiver on the edge would write out files for each order containing the most recently loaded status, so collecting the status just involved asking the servers for the contents of this file. When the order was scheduled to be delivered, another log line would update those files. And so on. Nothing really resembling a "database" here at all -- just files and memory.

Most recently, my ad server (erlang) has a ets table (cached in dets to speed recovery) that contains all of the publisher+targeting details as a key, and the list of matching advertisers. This table gets updated when home-base records a configuration change (say, because an operator adds a new site or advertiser). Configuration changes look something like this:

{{market,[{id,<<"marketid">>}]},
{{2021,6,28},{10,40,9}},
<<"operatoruser1">>,'nodename',
{patch,market,
[{patch,demands,
[{patch,demand,
[{id,<<"advertiserid">>}],
[{patch,customers,
[{patch,market_customer,
[{customer,[...]}],
[{patch,...},{...}]}]}]}]}]}},
{{usr,[{id,<<"username">>}]},
{{2021,6,28},{9,52,21}},
<<"operatoruser2">>,'nodename',
{patch,usr,[{patch,accts,[{insert,<<"siteid">>}]}]}},
{{market,[{id,<<"marketid">>}]},
{{2021,6,28},{9,50,42}},
<<"operatoruser2">>,'nodename',
{patch,market,[]}},
{{market,[{id,<<"marketid">>}]},
{{2021,6,28},{9,49,37}},
<<"operatoruser2">>,'nodename',
{patch,market,
[{patch,demands,
[{patch,demand,
[{id,<<"advertiserid"...>>}],
[{patch,customers,
[{delete,market_customer,[...]},
{insert,market_customer,...}]}]}]}]}},

They're actually stored as binary terms in a disk_log. A process reads the disk_log and materialises the in-memory configuration for the web services and rebuilds the ets table. Erlang has a lot of tools that (perhaps unobviously) make this very easy.

And so on.

Generally app/website courses suck because of conflicting business models. You need to seriously read and understand grammar to learn language and employ spaced repetition memorization. The apps usually do the later not the first one because holding attention span is hard, writing good courses is harder and it's easier to monetize dictionary building than reading material.

Common plan is to pick up a well written book for your language and do flash cards + media/live tutor suppliment.

Currently I'm learning Thai: I have a modern book course (Becker's series) + voice Anki flash cards + some media on youtube or netflix movies (I've tried pimsleurs but it made me fall asleep)

that prediction is bogus. they were OG, yes, but it's highly improbable they were able to hold on to all those bitcoins. 2009-2011 was a time when people threw literally hundreds to thousands bitcoins for dumb things like socks and pizzas. and those are real world assets - it was much easier to spend BTC for virtual assets like hosting or vpn or gambling.

no doubt the guy was beyond rich, but i'm almost certain they didn't hold 5% of BTC.

The test itself is useless, but self-identifying into a the scheme accompanied with the aforementioned useless test helps you find likeminded people. People you allegedly find that you work better with.
It's a shame that there is no way to self-identify into anything else, and find like-minded people, without relying on a thoroughly antiquated pseudoscientific bullshit classification system.
My point is this:
Praising MB for letting you self-categorise into a scheme that, on the surface, generates better team dynamics than no system at all is giving credit to systematising. It is not giving credit to MB.
Try this self-categorisation system out, and see if it out-performs no system: knowledgeable / unknowledgeable.

Hello Guys,
This is Dilip Sripuram. The developer of the TheActualGameRescue you are talking about. Just wanted to address the issues you mentioned. About the Ads, you don't need to watch an Ad. The whole game can be played without watching a single Ad. Each level gives you enough coins to unlock next and by the end of easy levels you will have enough coins to unlock 3 medium levels. The login issue is so that I can save the save file with Google Play services. I will recheck this and limit the number of times it asks to once. I recommend watching this video to better understand the gameplay.

I see many more "old money/high status" families that keep it quiet, finding stable/calm positions to keep on doing what they do, rather than seeking the riskiest famous lifestyles.

High status != high maintenance neither high visibility.

Edit to add: this is exactly the mistake that tabloids & people magazine do, and that social networks reproduce in the mind of people. Actual status, in the mid/long term relates to what you do/contribute for yourself or to society, not what you look like/say/think. In that regard fame != status.

For anything that goes to the headlines, there is considerably much more that happens under the radar, not necessarily because it does not know how to advertise itself, but because it does not want to advertise itself as that would be a distraction.

This is the same disconnect which, in France at least, makes no distinction between nobility, bourgeoisie and wealth, when those 3 concepts have evolved and are only overlapping in specific cases.
With Borderless/Multi-Currency it's even cooler, since it grants you local banking details in many different locales, so someone can pay you via ACH, FedWire, SEPA, EFT, etc and have that value reflected in your account almost immediately (depending on the transfer method) and (depending on the transfer method) without charge.
