The Saito Polkadot Arcade is now live! As visitors can see, the Arcade already supports three Polkadot Tokens ($DOT, $KSM, and $WND). We look forward to adding more as we continue our mission to get browser-based games working seamlessly with blockchain assets.

Beyond opening a new frontier in blockchain gaming, the Saito Polkadot Arcade provides a working example of how we believe Polkadot developers should build web3 applications. As visitors can see, Polkadot applications running on Saito offer a better user experience than websites that need external plugins like Metamask, and eliminate the need for centralized infrastructure providers like Infura.

As part of this release, we encourage developers working on Polkadot projects that need in-browser applications to get in touch. We are happy to support the Polkadot ecosystem in getting usable applications running on the Internet today.

While we still have a second milestone to release before the Saito Arcade provides full in-game support for transfers of Polkadot assets, we hope this release gets DOT users and developers excited about what is coming. While we work on delivering our next milestone, we encourage everyone to come and check out all of the open games that already exist on Saito which will be gaining DOT integration shortly: Poker, Chess, Wordblocks, Twilight Struggle, Red Imperium, and many more.

To make the celebration even better, join our Telegram Channel for news on a series of epic game tournaments & events launching soon which will be open to everyone.
Which box? I think results vary heavily depending on what hardware one runs on.
Sadly I haven’t found anything. All there is are those curv25519 key pairs last i looked which is a real pain to manage at any scale, can’t be setup with a ttl etc. That’s probably main value proposition of products like Tailscale tbh
Yes, obviously as soon as you look at more than one place or time. Think about it, the status quo varies. Also the current status quo is neoliberal, which is right-wing for Europe and South Aemrica, so not centrist in absolute terms.
I assume this kind of disaster is why Pink Lady is a trademark.

Exactly. 'Bad' and 'terrorist' is just the word play decision of some politician who surely does not have your best interest at heart.

People are really getting fed up with being lied to on a constant, grand scale.
Nobody is buying an Oculus headset right now because they've been recalled and won't be available until August 24th.

Both really.

I see so many missing plates these days in SoCal. Also no plate on the front. I point them out to my wife sometimes when I am bored, we'll see dozens on a 10 minute trip. I'm told by a friend who is a DA (in California) that police here are not legally allowed to stop you today for plate violations. Instead, they are only allowed to issue fines for plate violations as part of another routine stop. I also have a neighbor has a temporary paper plate on one of his vehicles that expired over 14 months ago. If there's no incentive to care then people won't care, I guess.
One would never know by reading the headline of major UK newspapers that cases are going down. When cases are up, you get alarming headlines. When cases are down, the same newspapers will find something else to be alarmed about. Thanks god there is internet, and I can follow the underlying numbers directly.

It's not yet even possibly to reliably detect the infection because of the closed nature of the device.

I think I'd like to check my iPhone, but I can't reliably do that.

So that, for a start, would help.
Open banking isn't what it sounds like...

You would imagine that with open banking I could write my own code to pay my bills, send out birthday gifts, or pay my employees...

I imagine I could enable a trusted third party to automatically switch my bank account from one that earns 0.1% interest to one that earns 1% interest... Or to detect that I was double billed for amazon prime and auto refund one. Or maybe it would let me create temporary bank accounts for a payment (so that I can't be overbilled).

Yet it turns out that it's not really more than a csv dump of your statement. It's read only, and has barely any more data than the pdf files available from the bank. Pretty much all you can do with it is draw pretty graphs that anyone could draw in excel in 5 minutes. Oh, and some evil companies demand to have access to your bank statement via openbanking to check if you are 'worthy' of a job/loan/school.
Is Lab Meat About to Hit Your Dinner Plate?
It’s called computers at your public library.
Wireguard isn't so different from previous protocols establishing encrypted tunnels. Functionally it's IPSEC tunnel mode with all the complexities of IPSEC removed. With a bit of multipoint goodness (ala DMVPN) sprinkled in.

The reason why it's hyped is because it's a non-encumbered, gratis, libre, fast replacement for OpenVPN.

Yes, it doesn't handle algorithm negotiation. So if there's something wrong with the algorithms it's chosen, then we'll need a Wireguard 2. That's a design choice that trades off one thing (protocol independence and resilience) for another (simplicity and ease of implementation).
Ask HN: How should I spend $500 work at home allowance?
I've got a new job and they offer a $500 work at home allowance. I've already got a good desk, good monitor, good general computer setup (I could probably use a better chair, but I don't think I want to spend for something extreme). Any other suggestions for what to use the funds on?
> doesn't that mean you don't have the prerogative?

It means I've agreed not to cheat. I have the power to do it, I just agreed not to use it.

I won't let them take my power away though.

> isn't respecting licensing models a huge thing for Linuxheads?

Personally I'm not a fan of intellectual property in general. Licenses included. They all depend on copyright which should be abolished.

The only thing that makes any sense to me is the boundary between my computer and their servers. I should be able to do whatever I want on my computer. They should be able to do whatever they want on their servers. If they can't detect cheating server side, that's just too bad because they aren't gonna be doing it on my machine.
> Do you think it a coïncidence that most spy satellites are launched from Vandenberg?

It's not a coincidence, it's geography.

It is desirable for reconnaissance satellites to cover the entire planet regularly. That means high inclination orbits. That means southward launches (as opposed to eastward). That requires a launch site with ideally lots of ocean and not a lot of population to the south/southeast.

The US does plenty of military launches into other orbits from the east coast.

Oculus Rift? More like "Oculus Grift", eh?
No info on how this Facebook account takeover is happening? I wish they would provide details...
Studies like this show how much we humans have no imagination.

Sure, there will be Da Vincis, Einsteins, Pollocks along the way, but they are not the standard not very imaginative sapiens-sapiens by any measure.
The novel thing here isn’t the tech, but the scale at which it’s being developed and the price point that they’re targeting.
I'm stunned at the level of "optimism" in these comments. Guys, we're not going to be setting up colonies on Mars, we're not going to setting up heavy industry in space. There is literally no. point. at. all. Mars is less hospitable than even the least hospitable places on Earth. "Heavy" industry, pretty much by definition, means it's way cheaper to do it on Earth than in space (no amount of rocket development will ever overcome those physics.)

I'm barely, just barely, partial to the argument that there should be a Mars colony so that humanity could go on even if we wiped ourselves out on Earth, but the challenge of an off-Earth colony is so great, I'm pretty reluctant we'll see anything successful in the next 50 years. Even once you figure out all the mechanics of building something in a high radiation/below freezing/basically no atmosphere environment, you have to figure out how to get a few dozen people to work together for _years_ without interpersonal conflicts destroying the whole mission.

Also, uh, why don't we just fix Earth? Oh, that's not sexy? No, of course not, because real problems are always more complicated than simple, inspirational ideas or a colony run by a dictator.
Well Jews lived under oppressive regimes wouldn't you agree? It couldn't get much more oppressive. So their only choice was to try settle a place completely empty or where the locals would greet them. Zionism considered this btw, all plans failed. There weren't that many options.
If people didn't need leap seconds, they would already not be using them. There's absolutely no use case for adding leap seconds for a few decades and then stopping. Either put them in or don't.
Deaths in the US (like in the UK) are barely moving unlike during the other waves b/c of elderly vaccination rates. I really doubt this will budge the aggregate fatality rates much at all.
Then it had better be really urgent unless you're one of a handful of people. Even as an older person, I mostly ignore phone calls if I don't recognize the caller ID--and, even then, unless it's a call I know I want to take for whatever reason.

ADDED: Where I work, chat is a more time sensitive than email but basically no one phones out of the blue.
This recall is only for the foam face insert. It's removable and probably very inexpensive to make / replace. Oculus is sending free replacements to folks.

I am an avid Quest 2 user since ~October. I play Population:one and _love_ it. It's a team-based Battle Royale. I am just blown away by how much fun and social it is. It's been a godsend during the pandemic.

The Quest 2 is only $300 - I strongly recommend it!
700k is very thinly populated.
Sorry, you were saying "git checkout is stupid since it does the same things", right?

(Only since 2014 myself.)
What did you replace them with?
Further, there was an argument way back, that the number infected but symptom-free was much higher than estimated. This would be enhanced by a hypothesised variant, that is more contagious, but less harmful - it would theoretically dominate, because its spread would be unimpeded. I don't know if these arguments have been tested; nor how to test them.

Separately, the physical social graph is not uniform, but complex. There can easily be narrower channels that have a lower probability of conducting infection. Thus, the spread will slow after the easy routes have been exploited.
More like product and customer. Not like Facebook has an incentive to treat your data with any more respect if paid or not.

Just like how movie tickets and train tickets don't get any cheaper with advertisement everywhere.
Enthusiast water cooling would work for you, which if you're not comfortable with yourself you can get from people like Maingear.

But unless you need 4 GPUs, even just 2 GPUs with normal modern air cooling would still be reasonably quiet.

For the overwhelming majority of consumer-oriented products, you don't need water cooling to be silent (or near-silent). Those tower coolers and triple-slot GPU coolers are really good at getting rid of the heat in a noise-efficient manner.
They didn’t have 2FA, so it’s probably as basic as a password reuse attack.
Microsoft saw the concept of touchscreens and bought out "Surface" around 2003ish; and as a result, we didn't get widespread touchscreens until about a decade or so later.

FB buying Oculus feels exactly like that for VR.
Censorship is a tool, not a goal. The goal was control of Afghanistan. Go look at the map of control. The Taliban have made great gains and the US and allies basically are giving up because they have bigger fish to fry. As noted, the censorship wasn’t about disinformation, it was and is just about power.
Great, more cheap stuff from Asia. Let’s send all of our money to owners and managers of sweatshops and dirty factories. I’m a big fan of globalization in general, but this is such a ‘stop hitting yourself’ moment for me. There has to be a reasonable middle ground between naked free trade and ISI, right?
SpaceX has had very impressive successes, some government programs have failed or run over budget. Some government programs were also impressive, both in the US and abroad.

I think we can all agree on those points. The point of the GP that I (and I think many others) react to is the "Only in America things like this can happen" part. I just don't get American exceptionalism I guess.
The play _Our Town_ addresses this a little: given the chance to go back and relive any day, you should choose an unremarkable day vs a momentous one.
So I left one story out of my little rant-- which was my ex-wife would do exactly what you described. She would text and then if I hadn't responded in a few minutes she'd call the receptionist and/or my desk phone. It was infuriating because she rarely answered a text in less than a few hours.

She said that it upset her when she couldn't reach me--and that's one of the reasons she's an ex-wife. Her go to manipulation tactic was this sort of ask for some sort of compromise or make some sort of promise with absolutely not intention of keeping her end of the bargain.

I’m being a bit facetious, but I’m all fairness - most of the crap sold at these dollar stores are made in less than humane working conditions, or is completely automated generating few jobs and large profits for people preposterously more wealthy than the median income.

No, but some things you do can deplete it.
When we're on our computers, email notifications come up unless we're in DND (and even then, they show up whenever your email client is visible regardless).
They should recognize the fact that it's impossible to prevent cheating and stop shipping malware to users in an fruitless attempt to do so.
>I think I'd like to check my iPhone, but I can't reliably do that.

but you can, via itunes backup.
On the contrary, it takes a 56-bit key and a 64-bit block and it spits out a 64-bit block, that's your compression function. 120 bits narrowed to 64.

crypt(3) does that 25 times, the key is your password, the initial 64-bit block is all zeroes - the resulting 64-bit block after the 25 iterations is the hash stored in /etc/passwd

It's just a hash. The hash is too small by modern standards, and so you shouldn't use it. But it's still a hash. You cannot in fact decrypt it, which is why L0phtcrack, still, today, doesn't decrypt it.

I mean, sure, if you knew the password and salt (to make the right modified DES, that's what the salt does in crypt(3)), you could therefore generate the key, and decrypt the hash block 25 times in a row to get back all zeroes. But discovering it's always all zeroes isn't the goal here, you can't break into a Unix system by knowing that the initialisation state of the password hash is all zeroes. The goal of something like L0phtcrack is to discover the secret password and the password isn't encrypted, it's hashed.

Further, there was an argument way back, that the number infected but symptom-free was much higher than estimated.

This argument was made many, many times over the past year and a half by people insisting that <their area has hit herd immunity and everything is fine and we can fully re-open>.

Inevitably, like clockwork, the wave of COVID that would follow would dwarf the previous one.

The only thing that has broken this pattern has been mass vaccinations. It seems that high rate of antibody sero-prevalence in the population only protects you from COVID on paper.
I believe so. It is required by them for store purchases.
Maybe it's an age thing. Maybe if we're coordinating an imminent get-together, but for the most part no one I know expects anything other than a telephone call to be immediately answered and even then understands reasons why it might not be.
German and Californian government should cooperate. They have so much in common and they both love to introduce nonsense laws.
True. Nowadays I play single player games because of this. I simply can't trust these companies. The situation should never have gotten to this point.
Ask HN: When would you learn a new computer language, and why?
I've been learning a new computer language recently, and I'm finding it intriguing. Not yet at the point where I can use it "in anger", but I'm close to the point of choosing it for some of my everyday scripting tasks. It would take longer, but would help me to learn it.

So ...

Would you learn a new language?

What would induce you to do so?

The headline here is pretty misleading.

There is no Bitcoin economy here and the libertarians didn't build the economy that does exists.

TLDR;
A group of bitcoin enthusiasts convinced 20 local business to accept "some form of" bitcoin as payment and also spent years operating in a legal financial services grey zone. The Feds arrested them.

What I did find distressing about this article is the level of violence the police used used to arrest someone with no history of violence.

It was a change in sports betting. You really couldn't gamble on sports legally outside of the major casino sport books previously.

Keep in mind that black market sports betting is/was a multi billion dollar industry in the US so much of what you are seeing now is just more visible.
The complaint has been, for ages, that checkout got that wrong. As designers, these developers are improving: They got it more right on the second try.
Before going to extremes, many hacking victims try the usual routes to get customer service but quickly find out it seems impossible to reach someone at Facebook to help fix the problem.

Same story with AI lockouts at Google. Even if you do have access to "someone at Google" good luck getting a clear answer of what happened or how to fix the issue.

Fixing your run down car will never provide the same level of utility and redundancy that having two cars will. Preferably you do both.

If you live in a somewhat remote location, and your wife is pregnant and you know she needs to go to the hospital because of complications, you don't just make sure your somewhat run-down car is in better condition, and gassed up, you also make sure to find someone else in the area that you can rely on for a vehicle because it's that important. When it comes down it it, there are things important enough that you try to reduce thy impact random chance can have on it. Having all humans on Earth is one of those things to many people.

I'd say Linux directly, since performance would be still better than in Proton. Proton is a gap solution that helps building up user base while developers still ignore the platform.

I.e. some developers don't care about performance much, so they might rely on Windows builds. But others might care enough to make native versions once they see the platform as a significant target.
>>Large content platforms don't curate content

>>it's in platforms best interest to promote engagement

Agree with of what you said, but I have a quibble with the opening line

The large platforms DO curate content, FAR MORE THAN any news org. Your last line quoted above points out exactly how - they actively curate every shred of content anyone posts, optimizing for 'engagement'.

The fact that truth value, moral compass, or societal value (what ordinary publishers generally curate for) is roughly inversely correlated with engagement (which often follows the basest impulses) is irrelevant to the sociopaths who run those large platforms.

This is exactly why a set of news orgs NOT beholden to the clickbait economy - a 'PBS for the Internet' - could be really helpful.
Are you trolling? I’ve used Vue in a couple of projects and honestly have no idea what you are talking about. Feel free to expand on your statements. Otherwise this message doesn’t fit in hn
Yeah, I don’t think this is the dollar store chain’s fault. They are serving a niche. The problem is that this is such a growing niche, that well, it isn’t really a niche anymore.

The problem is poor and low to middle income folks everywhere in America seem to be getting poorer.
> because real problems are always more complicated than simple, inspirational ideas

Colonizing another planet 'is' a real problem?

Also, if we can 'just fix Earth' tell us how we convince all nations to come together and sing Kumbaya, put aside our resource differences and disarm all nuclear missiles (I'm looking at you North Korea)
If we had our priorities right, we first need to engineer humans capable of living there, and until then send robotic missions. The way things are going, sending humans to mars for a second moon landing tells me this is all a vanity show.
> why don't we just fix Earth?

If you’re truly interested to know the answer to this, you can find it aplenty online. And it’s not because it’s “sexy”.
