JSON is more than a string format; it's a data interchange format, and the relevant RFC (RFC8259, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259) says that JSON allows implementations to set limits on the range and precision of numbers accepted. It also mentions explicitly that:

* good interoperability can be achieved by implementations that expect no more precision or range than IEEE754 double precision

* for such implementations, only numbers that are integers and are in the range [-(2*53)+1, (2*53)-1] are guaranteed to represent the same number on all of them.

Hosting companies selling 3 years for $150 of traditional PHP shared hosting are still around. I love how skills I learned 15 years ago still work on these and it feels closer to the older web. Probably can run Perl on them! Also a PHP file on one of these is close to “serverless” - it’s a lot simpler doesn’t change its UI and API every 5 minutes like Azure
It isn't relevant to the author's vision of content-aware diffing, but it is relevant to the author's complaints about how Git's (alleged) text-based-ness makes Git awkward to use with Jupyter notebooks. Has the author tried searching the web for "git diff jupyter"?
Anecdotal and I can't substantiate any of this. About 5 years ago my old boss's wife worked for imgur and it did not sound great. They had constant churn. She was an upper manager of some sort and even she left after a short time. From what I understood, the company was not profitable and like many other tech companies relied heavily on investor.

I seriously doubt their community can sustain the costs of the service. In fact, the quality of imgur's service has declined in an effort to make profit. For instance, all images are compressed now. That used to not be true.

Most platforms you are using today cannot survive without ad's, because their business model is not one that can make a profit without a monopoly first.

For the photon quantization regime, I think we have a photon energy scaled as `hbar THz`, so a noise floor as `hbar THz^2` (1/2 photon / cycle is about 23uW at 666THz [450nm], or 19uW at 600THz [500nm]). Your Tbps is then `log(power / noise floor) * frequency` aka `log(power/0.5 hbar frequency^2) * frequency`. The effect of noise floor (and consequently quantization-regime frequency) on data rate isn't really cooperative with dimensional analysis on account of the logarithm.

You mean, aside from literally everything that makes a platform?

I have outlined how it's different, already, but I guess I can give a more detailed answer:

* You interact with other users with videos in the same way you interact with users on HN with comments. There is a built-in tool to "quote" (aka Stitch), and link your video to a video or text comment that you are responding to.

* The "duet" mode enables a new way of interacting: making something together with other people, take and remix what they've done to make something new. In particular, using audio from other videos made something new: video memes, where people act to the audio that's being played.

If you've ever seen Rocky Horror Picture Show live-acted, it's like that, but at scale.

* Removing the friction for making a video is, in fact, a big deal. The format (vertical video), the very-much unpolished posts (unlike Instagram), the sheer quantity of them removes inhibition from hitting that record button and sending off your random thought about anything out there.

On top of this, one thing that I didn't mention is:

* Algorithm that does a good job of linking people to each other in addition to showing you content. As a result, TikTok automatically forms communities.

If you use reddit, you know how cohesive subreddits can be. TikTok's algorithm creates a somewhat similar experience by bringing people interested in the same things together.

I hope this suffices for a start.

Before further commenting, I'd recommend you actually use the platform. Forming a superficial opinion based on second-hand views doesn't result in being well-informed.
A shot in the dark but maybe implement a wrapper for the protocol in something that looks more like http? Websockets perhaps? Otherwise I think you will have to build your own countermeasures specific to your protocol.

Of course we agree that the JSON representation is verbose. The question is: what is harder to use in a program? A verbose JSON representation that is just dictionaries and lists, or a concise XML one that is represented and manipulated using the DOM API?

How much of this economic weight is real, at least in the case of Tether, is another story. I suspect we'll find out in the next few years as regulation ramps up.

> DeversiFi — a non-custodial exchange that spun out of Bitfinex in 2019

From the article.

And as said, given previous dishonesty from Bitfinex about all sorts of unrelated parties (they claimed to be independent of Tether, until that was proven a lie, and they are heavily intertwined with their bank, Deltec, who says that they have "insight into every transaction and Tether"), I'm going to consider Occam's Razor, here.
It would be interesting to see what kind of innovative products got made if everyone worried about being tut-tutted by self righteous internet critics for everything they did.

It's also a geopolitical issue. Natural gas imports can be blockaded. China has additional domestic coal capacity they can tap, if they get into a tight spot.

I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted for posting the truth, but your article does not refute anything I stated or what the article I posted states. They could both be true. It's better to be vaccinated and have natural immunity than one or the other.

>China cheating on trade including, but not limited to, the wholesale theft of intellectual property through "partnerships"

This sounds almost like it was taken from a political sound-bite. In reality the US have forced the hand of other countries through diplomacy, sanctions, war, etc. to a far higher degree than China (at least so far) if nothing else than because of a longer history of being in a position to do so. It is pure politics and have little or no base in actual reality of the hardware made by the companies mentioned in the articles or Chinese behaviour towards Western businesses.

This is just Us Versus Them. The US have no high road to take here at all and I'm surprised HN seems to believe this has anything to do with China cheating, stealing IPs or whatever they newest accusation is when in reality it should be clear as day to anyone that it is simply the US trying to remain top-dog and force its way on others and nothing else. If China didn't do as they do it would just be some other accusations.

People can get used to practically anything, by small increments. If conditions of those small increments all happen, it's hard even to notice. But even moving to a Bernal sphere, it would feel familiar after a time -- days for some, months for others -- and any children raised there would find it perfectly ordinary. Even, the packing into a heavily shielded shelter to wait for a solar mass ejection to blast by.

The move from a farm to a city apartment is not really a smaller change.
> Would it be possible to develop a computer from linear transformations?

Yes. The transition function of Turing machines and the working tape can be represented as linear transformations. For quantum computers, these transformations even need to be unitary.

This very standard construction does not conflict with the halting problem: you don't know how often you have to apply this linear transform to your state vector until you got your result.

What other explanations do you have in mind? What “different reasons” are there? Do the reasons you have in mind account for the fact that female representation is growing year over year?

I don’t think you’re a misogynist, I wasn’t talking about you. But you are providing multiple comments’ evidence that you may lack historical background and might lack the will to think critically and self-reflect about your own learned assumptions and where you got them, that you might have been trying to make a rhetorical point and aren’t interested in a discussion or in the real answer to the very question you asked - whether women are interested in politics. Answer: they are increasingly. The idea that there are “different reasons” and other explanations besides social bias has historically been a talking point for people who don’t want to either accept or admit that cultural sexism still exists, that’s the undercurrent of your comments even if it’s unintentional on your part. Casting vague criticisms toward me doesn’t change the provenance of the ideas you’ve adopted and shared here. The very idea that there are “different reasons” was suggesting that the discrepancy between male and female representation could be at some kind of natural balance, right? I mean you stated it explicitly, that preferences might explain today’s balance. But it’s not in balance now, and never has been, that’s a fact we know for certain.

The data we have - from the fact that there were basically zero women with political careers as little as 100 years ago, to the fact that the number of women in politics has been and continues to steadily increase - the things I’m pointing out pertain to the question of whether there are any other relevant explanations that matter right now.

I’m not claiming that there are no sex/gender differences, nor that the numbers should be exactly 50/50. What I’m saying is that the fact that women were (and still are) held back by society obviously shadows all other reasons to this day. We can’t begin to ask whether there are other reasons until we’ve ruled out cultural bias, and we have tons and tons of ongoing data that proves beyond any shadow of doubt that we have not yet fixed cultural bias.

Suppose there were additional reasons reasons for today’s gender discrepancy in politics (and I’m sure there are some, like pregnancy). If the reason changed the distribution by 0.1%, would you say that it’s relevant and worth talking about? How would we actually measure it? In terms of what we should do as a society, how would it inform our opinions and policies?

At the top of the thread, you asked unironically “what if women are just less interested in politics?” My question to you is: what if interest in politics is primarily determined by cultural biases? What if women thirty years ago said they were less interested in politics precisely because they knew it was a terribly sexist environment? What if that’s still the case to some degree? How would you actually determine which preferences are determined by sex or gender, and which preferences are the result of ongoing discrimination?
Oh the horror, does that actually happen ?
Something I never quite understood: When you shoot particle A at particle B in some accelerator, how does the formation-and-almost-immediate-decay of particle C affect the end result? Like how can we know that those leptons didn't just come from the initial collision?
The data is clear though, that's the point of the study I linked.

There's more data coming out supporting getting vaccinated even with a prior infection: https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/covid-19-studies-natural-i...

It is also just logical that vaccination + natural immunity is better than one or the other.

It's inevitable that transactions made in error cause problems for the sender or receiver or both, but it is still better to have a human judge scrutinize the case with the ability to impose a more reasonable outcome than the status quo, than to have no such recourse. The position of defi fans that it is better to have no such recourse is ludicrous.

Your example is a good one: that particular case was carefully scrutinized by the court and the judge decided that the outcome was reasonable, mainly because the creditors who received the money were owed the money. If the outcome was obviously unreasonable, e.g. Citibank had simply sent $1B to some random address, of course the judge would have reversed it.
Good. No more mandates.

Yes and no.

Yes, USDC and USDT are different "securities".

But that's like saying that in the regular market that because Charles Schwab and Fidelity are competitors, they don't have a whole lot of cooperation - they do, because at that scale (and with the amount of arbitrage and speculation in crypto), you need to cooperate with your competitors, or you will be iced out.
Which is easy to say, but hard to make everyone do correctly. First you need to ensure that everyone uses an editor with a "visible whitespace" option, and turns it on, so they can see whether they have the right whitespace. Then you get to spend precious programming time turning one kind of whitespace into another since most editors will get it wrong when they auto-indent.

Either use spaces everywhere so you have total control over the layout or forego alignment (other than block indentation). Mixing tabs and spaces is a path to madness.

> Looking for a dead-simple way to share some images but are ashamed of what Imgur has become?

I don't even know why I should be ashamed of what imgur has become. I still use it to host images I want to post to social media, be they funny memes, or screen shots of system/programming errors I'm seeking help solving. It works fine. What's the problem with imgur exactly? I imagine I'm not the only imgur user who doesn't notice any issue with it.

I'm talking about, for example, a company that sells sports apparel contracting with a company that sells sports equipment to put an ad on their website. No advertising company involved, no worries about fraudulent clicks. No javascript needed, just an anchor tag with a specific url around an image tag. The apparel company wouldn't worry about almost all the normal metrics, just how many actual jerseys did they actually sell through this ad on average per time period. If it's more than they paid for the ad, then it was a good deal to have made. It's easy to check for fraud in this scenario. They paid for the ad to be visible for a specific period of time. All they have to do is take a peek at the website to see if they are being defrauded or not. And no information about any users (other than those who actually paid for apparel) needs to be known by anyone.
