"designed so that there can be never be criminal justice consequences for any financial action"

I don't see why that's true at all, cryptocurrencies are public ledgers with mostly KYC'd on/off ramps. You can pursue criminals, but it's harder to create collusion-based regulatory monopolies. Users of financial products have more choices through self custody and the diversity of decentralized financial products. The merger of decentralized finance with a better regulatory/taxation framework (+ a few safety features) will significantly dis-intermediate mainstream finance and deal a major blow to Wall Street. It's going to be great.

>If we had an ethereum based loan system, in the ideal, home owners could not get relief for the most abusive contract and those who made those contracts could remain anonymous and inherently immune to consequences.

Smaller scale crimes may be harder to track down but large scale institutional crimes will be easier to prosecute since e.g. Aave will never have the regulatory clout of Bank of America. Decentralized finance institutions adding systemic hazard to our financial system will be more vulnerable to governmental actions and individuals will have more choices to not participate in an opaquely corrupt system of finance that manages to ensnare everyone through savings and retirement funds.

I don't want the money I save to be funneled to the investment banking arm of a mega-corp which then destabilizes the entire country with impunity.
I used to work with a medical software where we turned off logging completely in production, to mitigate the risk of accidentally log patient information.

We needed to log that kind of data during development and just tagging what messages were sensitive would have been too error prone, so we couldnt reliably have any logs once we went live.

We did however have a special crash handler that logged the exception type and callstack, but not even the exception message could touch the harddrive.
>Make the copyright stuff so hard no one will ever bother trying to take over a project.

Also means if the license ever loses a legal case then the project will always be susceptible to that flaw since it cannot be corrected.

Think of a license as code. It currently works, but tomorrow you may find a serious bug, or, in the case of law, laws change outside the project, making a serious bug.

Now you cannot ever fix it.

And, in common cases, it protects the project from contributors wishing to remove their contribution later, breaking the project.

Linus could get a brain tumor and decide to revoke his contributions to the Linux kernel. Or his heirs could do it, since by law they get his copyrights, including all the code he ever contributed. Guess what that would do. Or any contributor to Linux can do it.

10,000 legal minefields is not a good way to run a project.
Is it possible to produce plastics that don't degrade or return CO2 to the environment? Make everything out of plastic, and then bury it in landfills, seems like one way to capture carbon.
I wonder how much it was ever actually attempted to get more community involvement? At least as of few months back IdentityServer4 was not planning on updating the project for .Net 6. This led to Microsoft updating the ASP.NET templates to point use the new, not-FOSS IdentityServer. Seems like a situation like this, or bug fixes, or etc could have prompted community contribution from companies relying on the project.

Frankly, the decision to not update the FOSS project for .Net 6 or accept PRs.. Adds some flavor to the situation: https://github.com/IdentityServer/IdentityServer4/issues/535... .
> No. I criticise this project because it adds value to a device that we should all be boycotting.

That's a pretty loaded, holier than thou attitude.

Keep your politics out of my computing and open source, please.
Deterrence often works until it doesn't, ergo deterrence never works.
Sure, but within that majority, they support vastly different concepts of regulation.

It's like asking "do you think the government should do something about abortion?" Banning it and enshrining it as a right are both "doing something", but the two groups are unlikely to see themselves as agreeing with each other.
> They just don't care.

Exactly this. I can easily imagine somewhere in some OS slack channel in Apple:

hardware dev: hey dear @channel we're breaking NVME spec in couple places and we're kinda running out of time to fix it, would be so kind to address it in you drivers if it's not too hard?

os guy: yeah, no worries those seem trivial, we can easily adjust.

hardware guy: cool, thanks a bunch.
All investments help the rich grow richer. People mine PoW currencies only because it makes them richer.
Good deal. Library fines create more problems than they solve.
There's nothing that previously stopped people from doing that. A fine at the library just prevents you from further use of the library.
> seeks to prevent any group from being excluded from the institution

No group is being excluded from the institution. That's been illegal for decades. Many individuals are being excluded because they aren't part of the "right" group.

The victims of that exclusion are mostly Asian and don't matter to "progressives". The author's proposed "academic evaluations based on academic merit" would open elite universities to tens of thousands of Asian students currently being excluded by race-based admissions.
Assuming you can't also choose to move yourself and your assets to another country offering better terms. That's how the dynamics are changing. Peter Thiel and New Zealand are a small picture of the future to come. Countries will compete. How much of wealth is really tied up in land? If I can zap my wealth from one side of the world to another without anyone being able to stop me is it really easier to stop capital flight?
Yeah, IIRC we got that one blog post and I've been itching for more ever since.
Fines don't necessarily encourage returns, for one thing.
That was the MTProto. The newer one is MTProto 2.0 but they are still on the older method. Also they have servers distributed across regions so there's no single point of failure.
Perhaps they are considering e2e for smaller groups.
I've only got 4 gigs of RAM, and don't think I've seen Firefox crash in years. And I run Jupyter notebooks, browser games, image processing, all sorts of intensive things on it.
Well, a war typically costs trillions. Which is usually just printed out of thin air. On a truly global Bitcoin standard, you could not afford that war. Because even a government would have a limited supply of Bitcoin, and they can't just create new ones.

So the only way to pay for such a war, is to do extremely heavy taxation on your citizen's Bitcoins.

Good luck with that.

What @heartbreak said, but also far more. Vaccines aren't 100% so the continuing circulation of the virus will cause some number of those to get sick. Then there are variants. Kids being sent home because someone else tested positive. Travel restrictions. The list goes on. None of this should be news to anybody who has actually been paying attention, and such a person better not be saying "do your own research" to anyone else.
Bootcamp is not allowing someone to fully boot any OS from the device. It is still a walled garden that limits hardware access, preventing the user from getting full performance out of the device.

You get what you read into it.

Majority of my posts are statements of fact yet they get downvoted because there's no placating the Apple horde with the truth.
There's a neurochemical component to it for sure. Motivation is a complicated process that takes place in the brain, and can be influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and drugs.

Some people's brains are just wired from the beginning to be more of a Do-er. Some people gain that skill through practice or drugs, and some people learn to Do in spite of a brain that seems to be constantly fighting against that.
> Deterrence often works until it doesn't, ergo deterrence never works.

Words don't become true just because you thought of them.
I agree with this and it's a good line of reasoning to explore but unfortunately top-level discussions on this topic never contain this much nuance.
There's a common trope of people being scared of going back to the library because they've racked up hundreds of dollars in fines. This is a rare occurrence, most libraries I've seen have a fine cap of about $5, but I have a feeling that's not something most people are aware of.

By removing fines, you get good press and an easier message to convey. Really, the library just wants the books back, the fines aren't meant to generate revenue.

If someone's going to just take 10 books from the library, they'll take them regardless. Just like grocery stores, a librarian isn't going to pursue you if you set the alarm off; the alarm's there to remind honest people that they forgot to check a book out.

Maybe get your tongue out of your cheek? Not supporting communism doesn't mean or even provide evidence Hitler wasn't leftwing. Often the greatest infighting occurs between groups with adjacent political beliefs. A group must fight for unity among the ranks of those who are close but not in full agreement before tackling those with opposite beliefs.

Hitler hated communism because he believed it was invented by Jews. Marx's parents were Jews, although Marx himself did not identify as Jewish in the slightest. Communism also didn't fit with Hitler's views views on Aryan superiority.

To quote from answers here: https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Hitler-hate-Communism

"From what we can tell, Hitler hated communism because it was a system that emphasized class struggle over national and racial struggle. He saw it as a system that was developed by the Jews to deliberately undermine both national unity and racial purity.

Interestingly enough, Hitler did not apparently have a problem with the economic aspects of communism, or at least most of them. His party was the National Socialist German Workers’ Party and they successfully competed for many of the same workers the Communists wanted to win over. The Nazi flag had a red background because it was a socialist movement, albeit one that emphasized socialism within the nation while those outside the nation were viewed with varying levels of inferiority".

So again, Hitler held views fairly adjacent to communism, putting him clearly in leftwing territory.
> ..The US just elected a game show host president 4 years ago.

^ Was responding to this. He really _was_ an actor prior to becoming governor of California. Actor, media mogul, "game show host", why should it be any different? Even Michael Bloomberg served in politics as mayor of NYC.

If they use the same address forever yes.
That carbon would have to come from the atmosphere in order to be "capture". Converting oil products (already-captured carbon) into plastics is the wrong direction. It doesn't make sense to take a step back just to attempt a step forward.
I don’t think that’s the goal.
This isn't an apt comparison.

Late fees are a designed to de-incentivize a certain behavior. We have little data on how effective it is, but we know it has costs both for implementation and its effects on patrons.

Let's take another example- charging people to use public transportation. We could do away with that as well, and some places have done that- finding that the cost of collection came close to overshadowing the income it generated.

Late fees are not part of the structure of a library except when they're implemented as such.

NYC will now have the opportunity to see if eliminating the late fees will have an impact on patron behavior or overall cost of running the library.

NYC's position is that late fees disincentivize the most vulnerable from using the library. If that's true and eliminating the fees would increase usage and not generally harm the income stream, then NYC- the largest municipal library system in the US, will have been an incredible test case.
The rest of the internet sucked yesterday, and my understanding was it was due to a thundering herd of recursive DNS requests. Slowing down clients seems like a good thing.

If you are asking, "Is Google helping with any C++20 support upstream?" the answer is Yes.

E.g. for standard concepts in libc++:

std::derived_from (D74292)
std::convertible_to (D77961)
Arithmetic concepts (D88131)
std::move_constructible (D96230)
std::copy_constructible (D96232)
std::invocable (D96235)
std::regular_invocable (D96235)
etc.

Google is _big_ and C++ is used for many projects that build with disparate toolchains (even if they are all based on Clang/LLVM); each project can have different needs to adopt parts of C++20 sooner than the others, and different costs for doing so. Moving from Clang modules to C++ standard modules is an effort that, for some of our projects, lives at the nexus of "Are Standard Modules sufficiently done upstream to be able to replace our use of Clang modules?" and "What is the cost of doing that?" and "What is the benefit of making that switch?" For other projects, adopting standard modules is a more straightforward calculus.
Not at all.

CDNs would love to bill customers 20% less for bandwidth used? Customers will be able to move to storing JPEG XL files on CDNs and reduce their own storage and bandwidth costs, but I was responding to the claim that it would be in CDN's interest to hurry the transition, and I think it will be a loss for CDNs.
Cloudflare only charge you the icann fees for most TLDs and don't make a profit on the same. If you fancy saving a few dollars over another registrar it might be a good place?

You should pay attention to what's going on before commenting on out of date news.

Also, a similar case in washington of an old lady florist forced to provide flowers for an event she doesn't believe in. This is like asking a jewish deli to cater the nazis.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/gay-couple-wins-case-florist...

In that case, the SC explicitly denied the request, thus de facto legalizing forcing individual people with consciensce disagreements working in their own business to do business with those they disagree with. This is an obvious violation of the individual right to freedom of conscience.

Meanwhile, facebook, a multi-billion dollar powerful corporation, which does not enjoy constitutional rights neither by nature nor law, is given a free pass to exercise its conscience. Sorry... I'll speak for the little guy.

I personally only see value in the payments aspect. People telling me how I can 10x my money with a payments service are sketchy.

The debt/credit system makes a whole lot of sense and I don't really see any innovation there in the cryptospace. Someone borrows $500k to start a business. The money flows into the hands of people who worked to make the business possible and they then get to redeem their dollars at the business in return. The debt gives the business a pretty good reason to accept USD voluntarily and the money supply is growing with the size of the economy.

The idea that the entrepreneur just buys $500k of Bitcoin and ends up owning $5 million without doing anything doesn't really appeal to me.
Lovely, thank you!

This article [0] from 2019 gives more reasons. Some highlights:

* Late fees disproportionally affected the poor

* Dropping fees brought with it an uptick in library attendance

* Libraries spent more money collecting the fees than they received from the fees

The peering alone should not cost much: I don't announce anything to upstream just receive the full/partial inet table and upstream filters everything that I send over bgp.
I have a lot of respect for Carmack but I wish he wouldn't tweet things like this. It just feeds into confirmation bias. You could say the same thing about the work ethic of immigrants... well yes, it's self selecting. Just like the autodidacts who make careers without formal education. For the vast majority of us, an education has huge benefits. And for the hard sciences and math, it's generally just too hard to "do" without learning first.
PoS is here. I use PoS every day and rarely have usecases for any PoW chains anymore.

Ask HN: I'm a self-taught programmer, what am I likely missing
I've been programming since I was about 10, starting with BASIC, then ActionScript 2 and 3, then PHP, mySQL, Objective C, then Javascript, Swift, back to Javascript to learn React, Node, Next.js etc etc. and using these I've made websites and apps with millions of downloads, had books published.

BUT, I'm entirely self taught, and I feel like I'm likely missing a bunch of things that 'properly' trained programmers know. But you don't know what you don't know, right? I would definitely fail any kind of code test with sorting algorithm type questions for example.

Has anyone also been along this path and realised these important things they don't know? If so, what are they?

You don't realize you're being at least as political as the comment you're replying to because you're a full blown ideologue. We are allowed to talk about what software does and if it is good or bad. And you are allowed to deny the existence of morality - despite the fact that you're appealing to it in the very same sentence. If you had faculties you'd realize this comment destroys yours, but alas I wrote it in vein.
Imagine unironically whistleblowing and stoking outrage that the censorship isn't enough.

It is bad that the company knew that Instagram is harmful to teenagers' mental health and still marketed to them anyway. But "Facebook doesn't do enough to stop the spread of misinformation" is the most ridiculous narrative on something like this I've ever heard, and honestly I'm not surprised such a narrative got a 60 minutes special. The problems I have with Facebook are the real problems, like how it is designed to get people addicted and steal their lives from them, how Instagram is designed to instill envy so as to maximize use. These are real problems, bad problems. "Facebook isn't doing enough to prevent vaccine hesitancy" is not on anyone's radar that seriously cares about the effect Facebook is having on our societies, the only people hammering on this narrative are misdirecting at best, working a propagandistic angle most likely.
Partially depends on how skilled you are at educating and at motivating.

Tech is a very thing-oriented and idea-oriented line of work, and motivating others is a people-oriented task. You need to be inclined toward knowing other people and understanding what makes them tick. Then you can show them connection between that and the work you're doing.

There's no reason one person can't be good at all of that, but the field attracts people who are good at the thing-oriented and idea-oriented stuff since that's the main need.
I'd like it if tabs that haven't been looked at for an hour just closed. Any suggestions on how I can do this?

I think this is a very unpopular way of using tabs though. Most people seem to use it as a sort of work queue and leave tabs open for days or longer. I hate doing that, I'd rather just search for the information again or look in the history.
There is opportunity cost when someone leaves a library book under their bed and no one else can use it. Eventually the library must replace the book. In my experience the fees cap at the value of the book. I see it more as an attempt to recoup costs incurred. If it was for deterrence the fees would need to be exorbitant.
