When a young woman in particular receives a cancer diagnosis it can be life-changing.

Your life may be severely changed, and you could die. You may potentially lose one of the things that define you as a woman. Your attractiveness will definitely be impacted. Your ability to breastfeed may be eliminated. Your ability to have children may be negated if you want to live, as some chemos are known to reduce or eliminate fertility, as well as your hair, among other things. You may be forced to harvest eggs if you want to ensure you'll be able to have children.

If all these bad things may potentially happen to you, wouldn't you prefer to be able to return some semblance of normality after it is all over, and have your clothes still fit?

I think it is a blessing that we live in an age where, whether for cosmetic reasons, or post cancer, a woman has the option to return herself.

Just like I thank God that I live in 2021 where we have excellent dentistry and that we don't have to live with missing teeth, rotting teeth, and that through things like fillings, root canals, dental hygiene, regular cleanings, and implants we can retain, or rebuild our teeth til death.
Huh? You would have to authenticate with Twitter using your crypto wallet to prove you own the wallet associated with the NFT. Twitter would know the contract addresses of the original NFT so even if you created your own smart contract with identical images it wouldn't be the original...
The Wikipedia page [0] mentions the collection of 5,300 mustards. I was underwhelmed by the 30 presented in this article.

Agreed, and I hope it will become more popular. But right now, since you can't browse IFPS with firefox or chrome, and manual minting is harder than clicking a button on open sea, I wager private platforms will keep their appeal.

Maybe when decentralized service will do all the decentralized hard work for you, take your metamask, upload your content on IFPS, mint it, then let you sell it, it will take on.
No, they are not "pushing" data.

Pushing implies that data is sent by the server without clients explicitly requesting it.

Pulling is when the client requests data explicitly.

I get notifications pushed to my phone by Apple.

I pull YouTube videos.

YouTube doesn't suddenly decide to "push" random videos to my phone in the middle of the night.

Similarly, Netflix doesn't "push" videos to their customers.
> it's a terrible time to start a business now

Hard disagree. I think this is one of those moments it's an unusually good time to start a business. It has challenges to be sure, but they're manageable, and I see more opportunity around me than I've seen in decades.
Makes sense as a hobby. Hope people aren't investing anything on these projects.
First I tried it downloading with wget, but it did not work. Ok, maybe they block wget for some particular reason. Then I removed the wget agent, and it did not work either, which is strange. Are you supposed to copy one of those behemoth UA that pretends to be every browser since 20 years ago at the same time?
Good point, I didn't think about trademarking. Bing changing its button label from 'search' (or 'go' or whatever it currently is) to 'google' would be fun to watch play out!
> Surely the baseball card’s value does not come from the fact that you can hold a piece of cardboard in your hand.

Oh but surely it does.

Cardboard is fragile, and degrades if not looked after. Over time, the average condition of cardboard cards will deteriorate. So, if you own a baseball card in good condition, and can look after it better than the average, over time you will end up with one of an increasingly rare class of pieces of cardboard - an old baseball card that is in good condition.

It’s not hard to imagine that in the distant future there will still be people who place value on the history of baseball who are interested in owning, for example, a collection of mint original baseball cards dating to the original era of each player, for every hall of famer who ever played for the Giants.

So the speculative value of any baseball card includes some expected value estimate based on the possibility that it might, someday, be the last of its kind, and some millionaire needs to buy it to complete a collection.

Can you really tell a similar story to yourself for why the expected future value of any NFT isn’t zero?
The majority of all NFTs are stored in IPFS; source: I run a platform indexing NFT media files.

Also, the art is the token. Data storage is a orthogonal problem entirely.
I've never seen anybody suggest that you can't be bigoted against a dominant group.

I have seen it suggested that specific terms like racism and sexism are not generic terms that apply to any sort of discrimination along racial, ethnic or in the case of sexism along gender lines, but apply specifically to actions that maintain or reinforce the power of dominant groups and existing privileges and positions that advantage them, and that trying to expand those terms to describe all discrimination serves to obfuscate and minimize the existing structural and institutional power disparities.

Or to analogize, if my boss hates me, that's probably a big problem for me and my work. If alternatively hate my boss, that's not really a problem in the same way for my boss. I can't fire them, or decide what projects they can work on. They aren't the reverse of each other, because the power dynamic isn't the same.

If by "type systems/checking" one refers to constraints on "valid operations in context" like comparisons, subtractions, additions (or maybe in a prog.lang context assignment to lexically static identifiers) then physical units of measure (seconds, meters|its ancient cousins, etc.) were the first type system. I.e., one cannot add/compare/etc. meters & seconds without conversion and not all conversions are possible.

This remains the first such system most people learn in elementary school. Historically such ideas arose along with measurements themselves and computations upon their results like comparison/subtraction/even taxation.

Yes, this is all (typically) manually checked and explicit metadata symbols are carried through calculations. I still think it's the primordial example that few mention in discussions like these.
There are numerous reasons for employing a CDN. DDOS protection, for example, is another one.

Many of those reasons will apply to long-tail content like GH of Twitter and offer benefits there.

I was talking about the most obvious benefit of a CDN: caching on edge-servers.
Every organization is dysfunctional to some degree, a smaller company that is less dysfunctional in the right way can easily beat behemoths. I'm not making any sort of claim about Google's degree of dysfunction.
It's very worrying to me that (especially US-inspired developers) people only think of a job as doing something for someone else. I guess it's pretty different in Germany, but a company is also a community, you spent a lot of time with these people. Sure, there are some folks who like to stay at home at all times, but I feel like that's not a majority. Humans are social animals at core, so I don't understand this one-sided discussion at all. Of course the article shits on management. Management enables you to do the work you came in for. I don't know how someone doesn't understand this. It helps you focus more on the stuff you like. Sounds like your management/company culture is shit.
Florida has already so unsustainable that only the US government will insure the structures and buildings. The Netherlands and Venice are also another artificial human livable area. Frozen regions of the world will become habitable so livable landmass will actually increase in northern tundras.
Anyone here like to mix mayonnaise and mustard?
I did a similar thing in the golden days with my AMD Athlon (Thoroughbred/B) processor.

It was 1400MHz out of the box, I clocked it to 2200MHz (200x11). None of the AMDs offerings ran at 2200MHz with 200x11 configuration, so it was blowing everything out of the water, with less heat and noise nonetheless.

Since x11 wasn't an extreme multiplier for it, I was running it slightly undervolted. That system is still running rock-solid even today, somewhere.
having multicast working on the internet would make this extremly efficient for the distributors (i.e. netflix) but the last mile (i.e. your ISP) still would have to deliver the packets to their customers one by one. at Netflix scale it would probably be already very beneficial to do that by broadcasting the stream starting every 5 seconds or something for uncached viewing. (i.e make the player wait for the next broadcast and jump to different ones [or start a new one at desired offset if none exist] when seeking).

Instead of using the internet its also feasible to use the DVB network like this. they could even broadcast a copy long before release so its guaranteed to be ready for offline watching when released. i am almost certain Sky Germany does something similar...

What an odd way of representing data transfer bandwidth: Was it so hard to just say 1.2 Tbps (or better 150 GB/s)?

Also, maybe an ignorant question from my side: Is that bandwidth such a big deal at nation-scales? It feels like barely 1000 homes maxing out the fiber usage. All submarine cables being deployed today are already in the 100+ Tbps range, aren't they?
The Toyota process says - you cannot manage a production line effectively if you don’t understand it.

Agile has become a way for people with no development experience to “manage” developers and that will always be wrong. The West’s obsession with “managerial” experience being a thing you can learn start to manage “anything” from is the origin of much of our malcontent. Management is just something you add on top of knowing how things work. It’s not valuable as an isolated skill.
The same people who feel like Wall Street is fighting against small investors and manipulating the market are the same ones who coordinate on /r/wallstreetbets. They are specifically coordinating against the big firms.

That was the whole idea behind the GameStop thing. They were purposely trying to ensure that a hedge fund wouldn't be able to buy GameStop shares to cover their massively over-shorted position.

If I was writing this code, I would have put something like this in the doc comment:

> The label for the familial relationship expressed by the Mandarin term biao mei, meaning the contact's mother’s sibling’s younger daughter or the contact's father’s sister’s younger daughter. This label variable will also store the name for that concept in Chinese language varieties other than Mandarin. If the identical concept is found in a non-Chinese culture, this label variable will store the name for that concept in the language of that culture.

If they looked up "CNLabelContactRelationBiaoMei" in the documentation and saw the above description, I don't think anyone would be confused.
Sorry, can't resist: you've perfectly teed-up ShareTheBoard. Solves the exact problems you've listed here. https://sharetheboard.com
I down voted you because I felt your comment was off topic to the comment you replied to. I do not see any reason the old CoC or no CoC at all would have preventing banning that user. Just because you should assume good intent does not mean you cannot ban or give a talking to user who make sexist jokes. I see no paradox of tolerance here.
Mathematical papers are essentially mathematicians shipping pseudo code back and forth. There are good reasons for it, but it’s not meant for most audiences.

Mathematicians absolutely do write accessibly from time to time, but when they do so you have to be fortunate enough to be in the audience. Often these are aimed at only the most general of audiences and thus are pretty sparse in detail.

Sure you can call them both coordinated schemes but that's setting up a pretty bad false-equivalency.

Funds that own full percentage points in stocks making pure top-down orchestrated moves vs hobby investors reaching out into the void with their info that may or may not gain traction are simply not in the same league.
This rings true to me.

> I know we're here, but we're not always welcome.

Us graybeards are working in an industry that generally doesn't value experience (mysteriously, it seems to equate "experienced" with "not capable with modern technologies"), so there's the baseline. And the HN demographic appears to be a particular subset of the young, which tends to amplify that.
A redditor publicly posting "Buy and Hodl" isn't unfair in anyway. Everyone in the world can read that comment at exactly the same time and act based upon it.

I was pretty sure it already did this...Just tried it again because you made me second guess myself and yup, sure enough, it already does this.
I think that the problem is that some people read CoCs as essentially _legal documents_; and thus attempt to act as CoC lawyers. Thus the "I'm allowed make sexist jokes with impunity because Ruby's constitution says that opposing views must be tolerated" take.

Obviously, CoCs generally aren't written as foolproof legal documents, and there's no caselaw or court system, so this is kind of absurd. But one approach to rules-lawyering is always to tighten the rules to remove the loopholes that are being exploited, so... Personally I think it'd be better to add language emphasising that the CoC is merely a _guideline_, and that the moderators are judge, jury and executioner.
Funding the IRS would be a great start
The aesthetics wiki needs a warning the same way tvtropes does, I can spend hours going down rabbit holes there.
No, there is only "knowing that communist central planning always ends up in shortages".

See here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19970544 for an example that illustrates the point nicely.
Well that is what this is, so what do we want to talk about?
Not OP. It's anecdata, but our worst candidates all had AWS certified developer as a top bullet-point on their resumes.
You do say it wouldn't work, but just to really spell out the obvious ones:

- no more options/shares for employees;

- significant insider buying/holding is generally considered a positive signal, alignment of incentives, etc. would need replacing with a more complicated compensation agreement linking bonuses to average share price over the year or something.

Slightly less obvious one is that you still have inside information on the index fund, not just that your company might itself be a significant constituent, but inside knowledge of the industry, what's happening to a common supplier, etc.

And by 'index fund' you probably actually mean/want 'significantly diverse pool of shares', an index can be small. Nothing (other than it being silly) stops it being just TSLA or whatever either, 'My Favourite 1' can be an index of my 1 favourite shares, and you can create a fund that tracks it. Obviously that's silly and doesn't happen to that extent, but it might if you incentivised it by making 'index fund' the rule.
Makes me remember of twister and an era when we had SGI.
I understand that people shouldn't benefit from insider information for their personal trading - but there are rules around this.

Blanket banning stock trading has a lot of downsides. Its an important part of everyone's financial wellbeing - esp if you are wealthy or powerful. I left my job in financial industry primarily because of this.

What kind of work you were doing? I'm working in bank and most of my work is finding a bug in tens of thousands lines of logs and then fixing it. It's really slow not because it's hard to solve but because literally everything there is slow. New features consist mostly of integrations on systems so rest call and them data process. It was similarly dumb?
> The majority of all NFTs are stored in IPFS

Oh, I would never have believed it. Thanks for the info. Most people that I know don't even know what IPFS is. Are those human uploaded, or bot uploaded?

> the art is the token

Yes, but why isn't the token displayed in the centered of the page on most popular platforms?

Because human needs a symbol that represent that token.

For most people, the animation and the number are the same. NFT work because people share a believe about them, after all.

And all the strong believe in humanity are sustained using symbols.

BTW, what's the name of your platform?
Well, sure, but that is assuming that the market is exactly 85 people. If we hold the number of people fixed and it is impossible to sell all of the inventory then holding back inventory is much more effective - because we have assumed it is impossible to sell.

The hypothetical in that article would make more money if they sold 80 seats at $495, 15 seats at 900 and then 5 at $1500 (that makes $60,600). There are strong incentives here to fill the seats.

And they are doing the scalpers trick where someone desperate to get on the flight can. As opposed to when the good would be overbought and someone willing to pay $1,500 has to start paying off passengers for their booking instead of giving more money to the people who put planes in the sky.

Plus, if we're both running this strategy, I have huge incentives to offer $1,495 seats to steal your high paying customers off you. It just doesn't work as a strategy unless it is already impossible to fill the plane - which is quite likely the case.
This is totally Peter G. Neumann* territory. Something to add to a second edition of his book, "Computer-Related Risks", if he ever makes one.

It fails to describe what is unique to NFTs, specifically that they are secured and exchanged cryptographically.

It's discussing collector cards that celebrate different methods of cryptography on the actual card. That is not even close to an NFT.
I hate to be a cynic, but the rules have never really applied to the guys at the top of the market. In business school you’re flat out told that “the role of government is to pick the winners”. And the associated cases were generally about compromising regulatory authorities — with the goal of showing why the side with more money almost always wins. Everyone below you on the food chain sees you as a payday and is willing to be complicit for the right price. If (price of regulatory capture) < (expected return), you’ll do it; and the ROI on government influence is pretty high.

Or as the old saying goes, steal a million dollars and you go to jail, steal a billion dollars and they name a business school after you.
I wonder if that's really the case. It's also possible that, if you kept 10% and returned 90%, you'd still have to pay tax on the 100% (that is, the 90% you returned might not be deductible).
Yes, good point. And we aren't going to finger-point our way out of this.

Oxfam press release:

> In 2015, around half the emissions of the richest 10 percent - people with net income over $38,000 - are linked to citizens in the US and the EU and around a fifth with citizens of China and India. Over a third of the emissions of the richest one percent – people with net income over $109,000 - are linked to citizens in the US, with the next biggest contributions from citizens of the Middle East and China. Net incomes are based on income thresholds for 2015 and represented in $ 2011 PPP (purchasing power parity).

From the paper they are linking to:

> The richest 10% of the world’s population (c.630 million people)
were responsible for 52% of the cumulative carbon emissions –
depleting the global carbon budget by nearly a third (31%) in
those 25 years alone (see Figure 1);
> The richest 1% (c.63 million people) alone were responsible for
15% of cumulative emissions, and 9% of the carbon budget –
twice as much as the poorest half of the world’s population (see
Figure 1);

The objection is literally that the proposition benefits "mostly-white, mostly-male" people, so don't stand there and say it has "nothing to do with race or sex." For shame.

What was this before it went down?
This is what happened with real estate in the west. It is for example, not worth owning property in some major cities as a retiree vs selling it for a fortune and moving to somewhere warmer in many major western cities.

Hence we see the explosion of corp/concentrated ownership of real estate and exploding rents (just up to the level you can afford to live with the rest of your income but not much else). Money printing means it’s a great time as a millionaire to buy lots of property, and as an average person to sell whatever excess non-residential property you have for huge amounts. Hence cities slowly become unaffordable/within the very limits of affordability for most citizens.
I completely agree - that's really what I meant by Agile as a philosophy isn't bad - its implementations? Sure.

You hire competent developers that want to do cool things and you give them the basic necessary tools to self organize. You give them sound direction and a reasonable timeframe and they will self organize - maybe have infrequent checkups to ensure nothing is derailing or needs escalation and most projects can be successful with minimum overheads.
Small "a" agile is perfectly fine. I worked in an organization that did "Scrum of Scrums" (aka waterfall disguised as Scrum) and my job description could have easily been "attends meetings".

Kanban paired with CI/CD is the best workflow, in my opinion. Break work down into known chunks, no estimation games, work it through a kanban board and put it in production when its done. A known side effect of doing this process is you may have people work on things that get de-prioritized and they sit there for a while and/or turn into waste. I'd rather have that known side effect than side effects like burnout, endless meetings and death march waterfall projects. Devs can still learn and hone their skills developing things that may end up as waste. Devs get nothing out of endless meetings and trying to meet arbitrary metrics.
