It's extremely hard to manage your health with old insulins because they're so much less precise.

Then don't put your money in a newly created contract?

You yourself say you keep it in a Chase bank account, you sure as hell wouldn't put your life savings in a newly created bank and trust everything to them would you?

Look at what you put your money into, has it had any audits done (this applies to both tax / financial audits for brick and morter stores, and code audits to smart contracts).

I will never ever invest my money with HSBC, they have shown time and time again to willfully break the law and soley gain monetarily from it, the governments or financial institutions don't do anything about it. Just like I will never ever invest my money into USDT, I think it's a massive scam and don't touch it in the slightest, doesn't stop millions of others investing though.
I'm super excited about where Ceramic is going and what it means for the (decentralized) web. There are lots of ideological and technical reasons that developers get excited about p2p networks/protocols, but for the average user, apps/platforms simply need to work and deliver perceived value. In our Ceramic integration, we've been able to deliver immediate usability for p2p content linking and pinning that's at least on-par with what you'd experience with web 2.0/centralized DB-based publishing. It only gets better from there as p2p apps/platforms scale and users get more data composability. With Ceramic going a long way to meeting those initial UX table stakes, apps can start to lean into the higher-level value propositions of p2p technology. Bullish.
In this classification, it begs the question, do extroverts feel drained and demotivated when not in social contexts?
It should be tested, but I don't think that a JIT compiler can beat an ahead of time compiler when the memory isn't the bottleneck.

Sure, if what you're competing against is some kind of pointer fest, forget about locks, just jumping around the memory will trash your cache, and it won't matter how optimised your local processing is. But if you follow some data oriented principles and take good care of your memory access patterns, I have a hard time imagining Java or C# beating C++ or Rust.

Now there's this peculiar version/subset of C# that Mike Acton was promoting for Unity… though I'm not sure that counts.
Having wasted way more hours of my life than I would like on rack-and-stack...I don't think it's possible to fully automate this in a scalable manner without a radical re-work of rack design. Which isn't going to happen any time soon, given that the current standards have so much momentum behind them.

As things are: even in well-managed data centers, the racks themselves are always somewhat finnicky, with varying levels of precision in assembly from rack to rack that require odd workarounds for equipment installation more often than one would expect. And that's not to mention how incredibly variable the rack enclosures themselves can be, which has big implications for cable routing. And nevermind the fact that there's basically no standard for port placement on rackmount systems.

Rack-and-stack labor is dirt cheap, or easily foisted off on your sysadmins for small deployments. I don't see a robot for this being competitive from a cost standpoint unless that robot is extremely general purpose and able to fulfill other roles.
Knight lost half a billion dollars in 30 seconds and not a single trade was reversed. If anything similar happened to any major hedge fund or market maker, nothing would get reversed.

Every hedge fund and market maker knows that if their algorithms break, their money is gone. Period. No backsies. The point is billions in capital is already completely trusted to algorithms with no human fail safe.
People use the word "censor" in many different ways that it's not always clear what they mean by it.

We don't moderate HN comments because of the views they express; we moderate for comment quality and adherence to the site guidelines. In the vast majority of cases where we moderate a comment, it's not because of the view it expresses, but because it expressed it in a way that's destructive of the culture we want here (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). You can call that censorship if you like, but I don't think it's what the word classically means. In most cases there are other commenters expressing the same view thoughtfully and substantively, and those comments don't get moderated at all. I think we can say after 10+ years of working with this strategy that it definitely isn't "the shortest way to the bottom" - quite the opposite.
I think your position is essentially at odds with parent.

> Sure it does: moving gold and commodities between countries in non-mutually-friendly regimes, very much resembles crypto.

Parent is talking about a legal framework and yet your counter-example is a transaction between two jurisdictions/parties/legal entities that are in less-than-legal agreement with each other. Apples to oranges.

Also, I'm quite certain you and parent interpret "the world" differently. You seem to interpret it in the sense of a pre-formalized economic framework society. Whereas parent (with whom I side with), use the term "the world" to refer to that sector of society with a codified economic framework.

> Many crypto platforms also have the mechanisms within them to build fiat finance systems atop them. (The keyword to search here is "security tokens".)

That might very well be the case but parent's argument is that our legal economic system is not purely algorithmic. Crypto might have features that are analogous to our current fiat systems but those features do not describe the whole fiat system; it misses some features (or "bugs", depending on how you look at it).

To paraphrase parent's statement, having someone able to override transactions is a feature of our existing systems, for better and for worse. Conversely, a system without this arbitrator has pros and cons too. You pick your poison.
What I find weird in our current status quo is how "sex work" and having an OnlyFans account is considered empowering, but a game about fictional characters like DOA is considered sexist and misogynist.

I never played it, so I might be wrong, but isn't that why people play DOA in the first place? To see sexy women? So how's that trolling?
Here’s an example of reality that violates your set of assumptions. Wikileaks on Palin in 2008. How does your complaint comport with this reality? It doesn’t.

https://www.wikileaks.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin_Yahoo_account_200...

The statement from Wikileaks is inarguable given the information available. You have simply extrapolated a talking point that they discriminated against one side. That is simply second-order, non-provable agitation.
Doesn't supplying all this info about myself just confirm that it is correct, thus further putting my privacy at risk?

> For each user, we typically turn up 2X – 5X more profile match results than Google, or any of our competitors

How? Is it different than manually looking up my info at each site listed under "which data brokers are covered by each plan?"

Not a bad idea for a business, you sell them my data then charge me to have them delete it. I didn't know you had competitors though, now I'm comparing your features to theirs.
> It's just sad that people only see the bad use cases

Yeah, when 95%+ of the actual things that people use crypto for are those things, it's hard not to. Can you honestly say the "valid" uses for crypto take up more than 5% the total volume in any possible metric you can think of? It's always ransomware, extortion, blackmail, money laundering, drugs, you name it.
How do you filter 'polite' from impolite comments? Sarcasm can be thinly veiled. Hateful comments can sound genuinely nice to a ML algorithm, but taken literally can paint people in a bad light.

As for the real issue the article talks about, most misinformation comes from people bringing up things that nobody asked about. Nobody asked if the world is flat, nobody asked about vaccines. Nobody asks about race, but online video game lobbies are always harping on the issue.

How do you filter out people who are clever enough trolls to game algorithmic filters?
USDT failed a LONG time ago.
Long term people are going to flock to DeFi services that have centralized discretion to compensate victims of exploit. One way to do this is to have a token that people can lock up and vote for/against a bailout.
I agree, but "critical thinking" itself needs to be monitored or the methods of fact checking and narrative questioning can become weaponized and pervert it into conspiracy. Danah Boyd has some decent talks about this phenomenon. https://www.edsurge.com/news/2018-03-07-danah-boyd-how-criti...
I agree that it isn't a zero sum game and that there are valid use cases. But I don't see any of these use cases operating over a multi-million dollar business. There has to be a way to override an exploit when a sum like that is at stake.
The tree under your reply proves my point. There is no one set of OO principles. This thread identifies at least two, the original Kay principles and what I wasn't sure you were going to name, which is what I'd call the outdated 1990s ideas of OO. Then there's today's idea, which is probably pretty close to what I said in my post and is exemplified by duck-typed dynamic languages and a lot of modern languages like Go and Rust. That's at least three, and that's staying fairly broad; if we start quibbling about arcane details the count only goes up.
But there is a price to pay for the responsibility you burden off onto the bank. Banks charge fees, pay almost zero interest (at least currently) and are usually very unpleasant to deal with when you want to borrow money.

I’d say it depends. You probably shouldn’t manage your life savings using a crypto wallet. Keep some money at a bank. Keep some money in cryptos.

Cryptos are not a solution to every financial problem out there but they add new and exciting options for us. Don’t think black and white. But embrace more freedom to choose.
I never understood the idea of "right-wing conspiracies". Those conspiracies used to be "left-wing" less than a decade ago. Big pharma, Iraq WMDs, the Bilderberg, big banks, 9/11, etc.

The only thing they have in common is that they are all anti-establishment at core. It seems to me that the Left, who used to be anti-establishment, has now become what it once fought.
What on earth is “socialized insurance”?

The Democrats are the party who put massive amounts of effort into derailing the only viable candidate to argue for public healthcare.

Maybe you don’t care about keeping predatory insurance companies afloat with COBRA payouts, or forcing healthy people to pay tens of thousands of dollars to insurance companies, but plenty of people do.
Try showing up with 500 people.
What they're describing is precisely the model most bloggers wanted for comments in the early days of blogging (late 90s & early 2000s). Trackbacks, pingbacks, etc. and other protocols were devised to allow bloggers to reply to each other with posts and aggregate them all together. It's not some 'technobro' solution, it's a way to publish content without incurring all of the real costs of also publishing (and managing) discussion forums or comment sections.

It unfortunately never really took off because Facebook came in and became the defacto platform for people to post and comment on things--essentially becoming a giant ad-funded discussion forum moderated by Facebook staff and volunteers.
Automation Is a Race the U.S. Can’t Afford to Lose

My general research on Tree Languages, as well as a number of products I make, is all open source and public domain, but (sadly since research funding is not so advanced) I do have to be a bit pragmatic and make some money here and there. There might be some bits and pieces out there.
Meh - it will always be complicated and get more complicated going forward.

Also has anyone looked at what it takes to build a home, let alone a hospital. I don't think software is any more complicated than our society allows other processes to become complicated.
I'd argue that bad content shouldn't be posted anywhere.
You don't need a separate Android device for that though. That was the point. You can do that with third-party extensions, websites, etc. Last but not least, in order to create a Google burner account you likely need a real phone number. Whenever you sign up for a Google account it asks you to verify a phone number.
I think most users know what a comments section is.
That's bad news, because when the answer is "nothing," people don't do nothing.

They instead resort to the language of the unheard.

> The important thing is learning from them of course.

Which is why I find it unacceptable that he repeated the mistake.
The difficulty is that once you move from things like my joke solution to earnest attempts like yours you start involving the real world in your model, and you end up with something that is more like a social solution than a technological one.

Once you start talking social solutions you start looking more like a business or a commune or a community and less like a technology. You don't just have algorithms and widgets and cryptographic hashes, you have people who are supposed to execute fuzzy decision making processes like authenticating that someone "did good work", and then you need validation protocols to check whether people are executing their human-algorithms correctly, and identity and spam systems to ensure that someone isn't running a bot-net that simulates a town of people pretending to do useful work...

Which in addition to making everything way more complicated, makes you step back and say, "Wait, what am I trying to accomplish here by creating a cryptocurrency which is a currency and not a speculation-vehicle again? And why am I trying to do it by creating a cryptocurrency again?"
Would have been smart to taper it or provide it as a lump sum bonus rather than cut off or keep until September.

No one is a serf on the internet. You can always choose another website. For all the problems Facebook has, hoarding the secret sauce building the world's largest phone book isn't one of them.

They were banned for hosting right wing content in their own videos, btw.
> When I’m doing crime, I strongly prefer there to be no record of the transaction. The closer I can get to an assurance there is no permanent record of the transaction, the safer I feel in deviating from the law.

You're exactly right about this, which is why it's important to remember that a plurality (majority?) of those who speculate in cryptocurrencies don't seem to be especially aware of the whole "immutable, irrefutable public ledger" aspect.
I don't think it's accurate to describe anything in the FAQ as "hidden".

You seem to be missing the most important one - direct conversation with people who have the problem your business solves. If you don't already know at least a couple people to be your pilot users, you are truly fighting an uphill battle.
I don't get it. You're saying we shouldn't bother to improve things because they still won't be perfect?
Those considerations notwithstanding, people are actually using crypto for criminal behavior. However great your arguments are against it, the reality is that it's happening.

Reasons it might be happening: You can say they're being shortsighted and taking on unnecessary risk, but then, people who make criminal livings tend to have a higher appetite for risk than e.g. I do.
I am troubled by the inclusion of McKinsey consulting in the earlier work. IMO it throws a real wrench in the trustworthiness of the study, considering their track record.

I feel like it's unsurprising that actual renewable price reductions outpaced predictions from a study that McKinsey participated in; their fiduciary incentives absolutely do not align with greater adoption of renewable tech.

You are not forced to comment on a HN post dedicating to censoring comments if you "would rather pick another hill to die on".
If you have suggestions on how to fix that I think a lot of people would love to hear it, but for now, sadly the task of building a fully complete desktop and application platform means that there is a lot of code and a lot of churn. This is true of every single major platform.

Good point, thank you.
One of the hard problems of comment sections and forums is ad hom, incivility and lack of decorum. In cases of trolling and borderline behavior, it seems fine to just ban the offenders if there's a signup process. It would be nice to see more consensus around this. There's something to be said for freedom of speech when considered in context, but the manner of expressing oneself is largely orthogonal to what is said and has a lot of bearing on whether a conversation thread is fruitful or painful for the participants. It seems to me that in most cases a collaborative search for truth doesn't need to be painful.
IANAL but my understanding is that companies have to register to do business in each state that they want to employ remote workers in. So if you're a Texas resident, the CA company would have had to register in Texas to have you on payroll, and that relationship would be governed by Texas law.

Of course if you kept your driver's license in CA and just happen to physically be in Texas without telling your employer that, then it'd be CA.
It’s the same reason why health care costs are out of control in general.

It’s a for-profit system where literally every cog from drug company to pharmacist has an incentive to separate you from your money.
I think the reason it is where it is is because it was created a long time ago when some of the things we expect today weren't the norm (cloud sync, friendly UX). I think it has such a large user base that it would be very difficult to revamp it without disturbing a lot of users (and add-ons). I think people who use Anki are happy with it as-is, so there's momentum there. And new users who don't like it, well, they don't stick around.

I've written my own spaced repetition flashcard app (see my profile), so I've looked a little bit at how the data is stored in Anki and have a general idea of how sync works, and my impression is sync was bolted onto an existing system meant for a single device. I've seen posts from users in the sub-reddit about how if you do lessons on one device and then do lessons on another, there'll be a conflict in the data and you'll have to manually tell Anki to pick one over the other. (This may have been fixed since, of course.)
..it is, alas, the way of history so far. The best example are the high seas. First we were in a state where Spain and Portugal ruled and claimed it all (US on the net), then a lot of contenders came in the form of other seafaring countries (GB, US...) as are now on the net (Japan, Korea, China, EU, Russia...). Finally there were so many that free navigation had to be re-established... and a balance between coastal waters and the high seas... this will most likely happen again, but it will take time and we might live in the time where a tighter national rule might be established temporarily... though I hope not.

No, you are treated as a Texan employee and would not be eligible for CA unemployment benefits.

Contrary to what the other response stated, it does not matter where your DL address is; it matters where you are actually resident (generally, physical residence). If you were to claim CA unemployment using a CA DL but were residing in TX at the time you were employed, you would be committing fraud. Note that if you hadn't told your employer that you had moved to a different state, generally they can terminate you "for cause", meaning that you would not be eligible for unemployment in either state.

Many comments have referenced DMCA's perjury safeguards.

Is anyone keeping score? Who are the claimants? How many are trolls? How many claims are adjudicated and how?

Surely YouTube (Google) has metrics. Make it all public.

I couldn't readily find Daniel Benjamin Miller's Trial by Jury. Even then, I don't know if third parties (you and me) can see the claimants.

Edit: Found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GKsDpu5D60

OC's video had four separate claimants; Surely at least 3 are invalid, right?

Google's DNA is to shirk any responsibility, shifting all administrative burden onto the afflicted.

They absolutely have the means to bat away spurious claims, but simply choose not to bother. They're hiding behind a rigid interpretation of DMCA, "What choice do we have??", because reasons.
