OK, this is actually an amazing framing, because it honestly does seem like way way too many otherwise-smart people seem to prefer the idea of all of their problems being solved by corporate vigilante billionaires--such as Cloudflare or Apple--than government, without seemingly caring about the negative effects of having justice dolled out by caped crusaders who do whatever they want while police are told to get out of the way...
It's very easy to short tether, it costs around 4-5% a year.

You can do it directly on FTX, or you can do it on ethereum by borrowing tether on aave against, say, USDC, and then selling it for USDC.

You can do this in significant size, 8 figures+ if you'd like.

The Wine Country to SF Company commute is a matter of minutes when it's in your pajamas and across the hall.
Their high-end phones have such dark patterns that I will flat-out not buy Samsung anything.

Even if you pay [€$]1000+ for one of their Smart Phones, you can look forward to:

* Uninstallable cruft, as if they were a telcom and you were on a contract and had not just handed over a grand

* ...like a confusingly-similar-looking competitor to Google Contacts that will upload your info to their servers

* GDPR? LOL

* A hard button on the side of your phone located just below the "volume down" button, easy to press accidentally, that is hard-coded and unconfigurable, that will launch their AI assistant Bixby. Don't want to use Bixby? Tough shit. Nothing you can do about it.

* Constant badgering by the phone's native notification to sign up for "Samsung Members", a social media platform. No, you can't turn that off.

* Other, similar bullshit.

3nm? These are such sketchy practices I cannot imagine it won't affect, say, their high-end TVs (they would totally monitor your house and show you advertisements).

Seriously, avoid that company. No, paying for their high-end options will not insulate you from their nonsense.
It's not supposed to be deceptive because the idea is that, say, the 3LPE process provides the same performance as an ideal classic 3 nm transistor.
For example, at the beginning of the pandemic, a famous biology professor was posting valuable information on his Facebook account. Reading the older posts and/or comments requires logging in.

Another example, a local hiking club is cooperating planned trips via Facebook. If anyone wants to join, they have no other option (maybe they can persuade someone already joined to forward the information to them via other means).
And by "up a notch" I think you mean in nuances that are not as expanded upon in the standard course.

That's the value of the masterclass. It's like asking a knowledgeable friend for advice. That won't turn you into a sage on the topic, but you'll come out all the better for it.
Slightly off-topic, but I really love the video[1] embedded in the article. Just a slow motion video, no nonsense.

Most slow motion videos on youtube has a section on the setup, the backyard of the producer, the equipment etc. Just give me a slow motion video without all the interruptions.

The problem with California is that it is too crowded so no one goes there anymore.
Very easy to do on FTX or aave for basically as much size as you'd like. Yes, it costs 4-5% a year to short. If it blows up in the next few years you'd make a killing though.
> Also, streaming protocols tend to have a number of seconds latency, which for certain types of applications isn't acceptable. That's when mjpeg might do the job because it just instantly starts blasting frames down the tubes.

In this case you might run into issues there. This demo is all on TCP which means head of line blocking. That's why you typically see MJPEG wrapped in rtp rather than http.
Well anything can be chalked up to lack of experience -- I'm sure if I was programming OCaml every day it wouldn't be an issue. Nor would I try to categorically claim the syntax is flawed!

But so much of the syntax, particularly around function calls, is simply a long row of whitespace-separated tokens, and I feel like my brain has to do extra work to parse what's what, and figure out associativity, and constantly remember what the ~ and the ? are doing. This[1] section of the tutorial makes perfect sense when you read it, but that doesn't mean you can easily scan a long function call with a lot of arguments, and instantly see what's happening.

The block-level syntax is great. But it got to the point where if I didn't write/read OCaml for a few days in a row, I forgot how it worked. And that's simply calling a function, nothing esoteric.

> I found myself going very deep down that rabbit hole of plugins and tweaks on multiple occasions. Of course, every time I did it for the sake of “productivity” until I snapped out of it.

I’m guilty of this, although I typically don’t snap out of it so much as blow away my vimrc or start fresh.

> Usually after taking a step back, asking myself “do I really need this?” - it turned out I can do just fine without devicons and the latest plugins

Agreed, however the latest neovim + native lsp/lua offerings are pretty amazing. It’s a rabbit hole that I find it hard to stay out of. It’s still early days, but it seems to me that there’s a significant amount of functionality that this combo unlocks while side stepping some classic vim/vimscript pain.

Temporarily gave @dnfadmin access, is my read.

Quite the missed opportunity for "slow mothtion"!
You can't understand any of those things unless you understand what AMP does, and (despite what you claim) the TC article doesn't explain what AMP does. Not understanding what AMP does leads you to make nonsensical statements like that AMP can be replaced with a CSS stylesheet, so users continue to prefer AMP because there remains no better alternative for doing what it does.
I just don't buy the premise that I will profit from spending a lot of time optimally customizing a text editor to my supposedly very unique and special needs.

While you guys are talking about censorship, I just realize how many comments in the thread have been in effect partially "censored" on HN with lighter and lighter font color...
The difficult part seems to be getting someone lending you $1m in USDT, isn't it? From their POV, you're getting exposed to BTC volatility, and the collateral is likely to be too high to make this practical.
You have heard of the tech interview process, yes? :-)
Thank you. My involvement is on the very periphery and I find my minimal interactions useful so far. I think I lucked out with a very unorthodox (RC-wise) teacher.

As for racism - I do believe our culture is deeply racist, resulting in automatic (at least somewhat) racist perceptions for everyone swimming in it. Acknowledging this influence without shame or tension, and making an effort to correct for it is not a bad thing. This is my personal view.
Because it's not a currency. Gold has existed forever but you won't find point of sale systems with good support for gold coins either.
People may be leaving but I don’t think it will start to change anything about CA anytime soon. It could lose 25% of its population and still have more than the next most populated state (TX). That’s ten million people—nearly the entirety of the LA metro area.
Thank you. That does seem consequential.
Again... LA has a surprisingly extensive subway system. NYC, SF, Miami, DC, and Chicago all have robust public transit. Even San Jose and Seattle have non-negligible transit alternatives.

Austin has essentially nothing, the train they built is legitimately the dumbest, cheapest option that was offered at the time, though they are building dense housing along it now. People often choose which side of the river to live on because of traffic. You're simply not going to convince me that Austin isn't one of the worst cities to commute in, because unless you want to bike in 100ºF heat, you literally have no choice but to engage in it, especially if you have to cross the river.
What is the actual mechanism by which AAVE collapses if USDT nukes?
This is awesome. I am not an engineer and am wondering if this tech can be applied to killing field mice. I once read this is a multi billion dollar problem in Australia. Much better to do this than dump poisonous bait everywhere.
Why not laser control of people? You could setup a dazzler which blinds, say, someone pulling out a gun in a public place. You could couple it with an alarm system to have a limited 'area denial' system?
I was doing some reading up on beehives and it looks like there's generally a single entrance to a hive? This could simplify things since if there's a reduced area to guard its possible to control/protect that area to prevent stray lasers.

I discovered a product called the guardian https://guardianbhe.com/ which is mounted by the entrance to a hive and uses red light to obscure that entrance. Wouldn't a similar configuration work, except instead of red light it would incinerate any intruders?

I guess it mainly just comes down to rapid recognition of the beetle. With that kind of info one could hook up any number of deterrents.

Alternatively, if not rapid recognition of the beetle, rapid recognition of bees and just zap anything else.

With a doorway-guard system it could maybe even be done with a tesla-coil-esque thing
I think a lot about exactly the question I want to ask.

Remember the computer from hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy? They ask what's the answer to life the universe and everything.

People fixate on the answer but there is another take away. You could phrase your question to the computer differently. Or in your case the search engine.

Some of this depends on asking yourself what you actually want to know. Some of it depends on using language that accurately fits the question.

The question is also likely not the search term. The search term is usually an incomplete answer to the question you want to ask with the key part left out.

Of course then you have to vet sources, use other search engine tricks, and so on. But that's usually how I start.

So with your question I can only guess but I think a good search term might be "did early homosapiens eat meat?"

When I Google that I get this as the first result:

And yet with all that, their transit is *STILL* worse.
> I suppose though, you can't just go on refinancing forever. One day he will die, and then it will have to come out of his estate, and I guess his estate may pay the capital gains tax then?

This is the best part. The cost basis for assets is stepped up on death to the price of the asset on the day that the decedent .. became the decedent. That becomes the cost basis for any capital gains tax the heir would owe if they sold the asset.
> the SALT cap, which itself will likely repealed!

What's your basis for this belief? My understanding around Biden's tax plans was that the SALT deduction cap would likely remain at $10k.

Just did a quick search for recent news, and nearly all of what I'm reading is doom-and-gloom around the possibility that the SALT deduction cap will be repealed. Which makes sense, since that would lower tax revenue, and that's not something politically palatable with the Dems trying to push through multi-trillion dollar infrastructure spending.
that data uses "congestion" which is the ratio of the worst traffic time to the best traffic time. If you look at average commute times austin is way down on the list.
> The biggest factors were failing to make polluters pay for the deaths and poor health caused by air pollution (42%)

By that website, the lowest ranked state is California (83% graduation rate), the second lowest ranked state is...Texas (84% graduation rate). So...California is slightly worse than Texas on schooling?

I wonder if something else is going on for California and Texas to rank behind Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana? I'd bet that the issue with the standard of measure, not the actual quality of education.
Most comments suggest using BTC in various ways, as usual. I'm curious as to why hasn't a stablecoin been adoptet/gained mainstream traction for this use case yet? They seem like a perfect fit for making digital payments while preventing exposure to crypto volatility.
I'm in the minority in HN, but to me (frontend dev) React is the gold standard. It's simple and flexible, which is everything a framework should be. There are a few old warts and the dev tooling is not perfect, but architecturally it provides a very straightforward structure to what is normally a very chaotic endeavor (building reactive asynchronous UI code). There's not much I would change about it except for removing some stuff (class components and maybe some unused/deprecated features). I almost can't picture a scenario in which you'd need to do something but couldn't do it in React.
That would be worse though. This is like a subdomain changing hands quietly. E.g. you mypage.github.io.
Thanks for the clear summary.

So, the proper, open-source-if-a-bit-dickish way to go about this would have been...

1) Microsoft forks the primary git repository and declares theirs to be "Microsoft-blessed".

2) Microsoft puts a skeleton team in charge of maintaining the Microsoft-blessed version, but mostly they just pull the original maintainer's patches.

3) People slowly migrate to the Microsoft blessed version.

NOT: We flipped this hidden switch under the table and now your repository in GitHub is controlled by us.
The set of unique and special needs follows a power law: you are going to get most of the benefits from a small set of very common commands. The long tail will be rarely used.

Under a reasonable assumption that 'brain space' is finite, not filling it up with editor commands that may be used at most once a month will leave room for something more valuable instead. This applies for many other aspects in the life of an engineer: indiscriminately memorizing the options of ps/ls, specific APIs, etc.
Good catch! I didn't notice that on my read-through. I've updated my post to include this.
Oh, beehave!
I've used esbuild's metadata file to filter npm audit's report and only warn for packages with files that are required at runtime. It's great at filtering out denial of service in the command line parser of my web server.
One monitor is for code and one is for docs, communication, misc programs I don’t need to focus on.

I don’t find this a distraction as my main monitor is code pretty much all the time. A quick glance I find less distracting than swapping desktops.
Article has a whole section on how @dnfadmin was given owner access, in a sneaky way (for a different context) - and how that was a mistake.

According to https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/covid-19-vaccines-update-o..., the incidence in Europe should be 1-10 cases per 100k capita per year, which would be ~1800-18000 in a population of 177M.
How to Live in the Metaverse
I'm beginning to feel as if after I'd put my Android phone though a metal shredder that the individual remaining atoms will somehow still have my ID on them à la QM's conservation of information.

It's been clear to me for quite some while that the whole notion of trying to achieve privacy on the internet is broken - the paradigm we're now using (and have always been using) to achieve privacy is wrong. As no matter what steps we take - such as making browsers more private and less fingerprint prone to, say, sandboxing apps etc., etc. - someone sooner or later will always find ways around our best defenses. As it stands, it's an ongoing incremental battle over privacy that we citizens can never have any long-term certainty about.

Somehow our ID and personal data have to be separated from the hardware, software, means of transmission and IP addresses, etc. in ways that any chance of ever linking them are not just difficult but are also logically impossible. It's only then that we'd be in a situation where no matter the amount of hacking the 'system' would ever reveal or encroach upon users' privacy.

This wallpaper example may still be somewhat of a stretch to implement in practice but chances are it won't be so in the future; its existence only goes to illustrate my point.

If anyone ever manages to solve the problem in an easy implementable way then he/she will either be deemed a hero genius or a pariah. Which of these views one has will depend on which side of the political fence one's sitting.
People will never learn... You really don't own the data if you don't own the servers.
That isn’t what I’ve described. I said “for a time” and you chose to interpret it as something very specific.

> Property tax is higher but there is no state income tax.

I do wonder how much this affects salaries, though. Do employers in states with lower or no income taxes tend to pay worse for the same job than employers in states with higher income taxes?
OP was referring to sales taxes in TX in general, not the highest cities, but point taken.

And sure, property taxes for a $1M home in TX is the same as a $2M house in SF, but that's a mansion in TX and a 2 bedroom apartment in SF. You get way more for your money.

And google tells me that TX does cap property tax increases. Not like Prop 13, but we all agree Prop 13 is terrible, right?

And everyone is ignoring the state income tax which is 9.3% in the $60 to $300k bracket (and goes up to 13.3%). So if you’re making $250k, that’s saving of $20k alone, which is about the property tax in TX.

It’s not even a close comparison in terms of the tax burden between the two.
It isn't easier to accept any other currency online.
Zcash is a great option. You can buy it on Coinbase once you have an account. Zcash has a very usable app on Android. Zcash does not have the speculative crowd like Ethereum or Bitcoin, so the price is more stable. Transaction fees are low. If you buy on Coinbase and then transfer into a wallet on your phone, you must use the public address (Coinbase obviously wants to provide data on what you did with the money you purchased from them). Once the Zcash is in your local wallet, you can use cloaked addresses for private transactions if you want.

Your bet best in accepting crypto directly with minimum fuss is setting up a crypto wallet and not attempting to bridge to fiat. this framework will get you off the ground quickly

you can peg your crypto prices to fiat and advertise the crypto as floating that is final at the checkout. thats standard practice.

The sim2real approach can work pretty well as long as you are very in tune with where your simulator falls short relative to the real world and take steps to circumvent those shortcomings.

Here's some work my lab did on sim2real for a roughly human-scale bipedal robot (Cassie): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPhEmC6b6XU

We were able to train the robot to climb stairs completely by feel/proprioception without any sort of vision. We trained it in simulation, and then transferred it to the real world without issue.

Bitcoin effectively is the reason I stopped leaving breadcrumbs for Twitter researchers in the future. I read his research and see forum posts from idiots we use to laugh at on irc, but I myself participated in the pirate@40 ponzi, as other people did - maybe 47 poor souls if memory serves.

What a lot people can’t seem to grasp about 2012 is Bitcoin miners were flush with Bitcoin and no place to spend it, no place to invest or divest it. So you are bored it’s a nascent market you browse the forum it’s all one big joke anyways- until it’s not anymore. But you are looking for something to do with Bitcoin and you have to possibilities: bitcointalk or #bitcoin-otc of freenode

One of these requires a registered gpg to trade, one is a dang website

So flush with bitcoins We were running Perl pool hopping proxy scripts to game block rewards and jump to deepbit last minute pre next block - boosting profits by 25%. Trendon Shavers aka The Jimmy Buffer PonziMan also ran a mining meta pool gpumax.com where we could buy gpu shares, say 10 million shares of hash power from your 10 buddies running 10 rigs stuffed full of gpus and then you point that at one of the two Bitcoin mining pools that were left paying a Proportional payout scheme instead of PPLNS (pay per last n shares) and take most of the whole pool rewards in a flurry of blocks blocks blocks… kinda like satoshidice except fun - maximizing ROI and exploiting Bitcoin mining pool payouts was kinda neat for awhile

I normally don’t do this, but the comments and citations have me feeling nostalgic and I do enjoy reading u/arcticbull

I'll tell you what the difference is, that no one ever points out...

In the case of a crime being committed in a hotel room, the criminal is the nuisance. The hotel operator gladly participates with law enforcement to remove the nuisance. In the case of something as ridiculous as these plaintiff wedding dress makers claiming "intellectual property" over a white dress, the plaintiff is the nuisance, not the people they are accusing.

They are the perfect application, the problem is that they are generally expensive to use (see ethereum fees). There are efforts to get smart contracts working in Bitcoin, but we’re waiting for full implementation of taproot for most of that to be feasible.

Stellar USDC is cheap to use, but Stellar seems pretty centralized to me, so there’s that issue.

Another problem is that you need to convert USDC to USD, which is yet another step and also considered a trade so there’s more bookkeeping there.
