I'm not sure that's as good an argument as you think it is. For example, if a government somewhere decided that disabled children were a drain on society and should be killed at birth, it would be valid for a pro-lifer to oppose this killing while also not volunteering to personally raise all the disabled children in the society (or even one such child).

Tech and finance types tend to ascribe genius to themselves where luck would be more appropriate. It’s pretty typical of the nouveau riche.

We live in a replay of 1880-1914. Wealth is consolidating towards tech and a large interests now vs railroads and trusts then. Same story otherwise… tech is the great disruptor. Hopefully it won’t end the same way.

The objectivist thought process is useful as it simultaneously justifies a boogeyman to explain the failures of the powerful and those aspirants to power. It’s a sort of fuzzy blanket to incubate conservative and reactionary ideas.
Trust the science! :)
The thing is, once you realize you should be careful, it's probably too late.
> I remember her asking some question that prompted a “Paul Graham” response. I think she was asking something like “so who might your investors be if things go well?” And being 19 and confident, I foolishly felt I might have what it took to run a YC co. Her reply was illuminating, though: “Who?”

I still get that even when talking about pmarca or pg (or even rms) outside of tech circles. Sometimes I think I may be further down the rabbit hole than I think I am.
> You can parallelize with threads!

This is a great example of something that's more than the sum of its parts. A GIL-constrained language and a single-threaded language working together to run code in parallel - something that neither language can achieve on its own.

Although I believe there is a plan to add support for this pattern (multiple threads with one interpreter state each) to pure Python in the form of "subinterpreters".

Lua is so nice, but I don't really use it for anything practical.

I'd like to think that I'd rather have Lua as a language, with Python's class definitions and Python's ecosystem. What I mean by Lua as a language is the interpreter - and luajit - but also its `local` variables and scoping rules (Python's rules are rather strange, which the nonlocal keyword signals clearly).

My eyes take time to adjust to the increased magnification, triggering a brief headache. Then, after I take them off after a long screen session, they adjust back to my normal sight, triggering another headache.

However, staring at the screen intensely without them also triggers a headache.

My solution: make everything bigger on the screen. Terminal, browser, text size. Makes me feel like a grandpa, but it works. I've even reduced my resolution to scale everything.

My eye sight is 20/20 and I have no problem reading small text in books, but something about the screen just makes me feel so much more relaxed and comfortable when everything is bigger.

Again: Petrol does not mollecularly diffuse through solid material and embrittle it in the process.

How many hydrogen storage tanks and pipelines do you think exist today? How are they regulated? How much hydrogen is stored and transported via them annually?

How does this compare with the number of petrol fuel tanks and pipelines, numbering in the many hundreds of millions for automobiles alone? And the volume of petrol stored and transported on an annual basis?

Limited lab, hospital, aerospace, and industrial hydrogen usage is not the same as parking a hydrogen bomb in every residential garage, or assembling collections of them in apartment, commercial, or office-tower parking structures.

EV's are irrelevant to this question, but I've got you covered:

FWIW: I see hydrogen-derived synfuels as a potential / probable option going forward in some uses (marine, aviation, possibly rail), but reformulated into hydrocarbon equivalents of current fossil fuels, probably via something like the Fischer-Tropsch process. That's been uneconomic to date, though it's chemically feasible.

https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/28nqoz/electri...

Alphabet explored this through "Project Foghorn". I'd argue that petroleum is priced far too low, rather than synfuels too high as they state.

> I hope that you will see it without prejudice that it is now a reality.

I've said in the very first comment. The problem is not about now, the problem for BSV is that it ignores dynamic changes in the system across time.

You can not say that anyone "is empirically demonstrating that it can be expanded" for future scenarios by using current conditions. It's a very basic mistake, and you keep insisting on it. You talk about static variables in the system (few specialized miners, others just run nodes) without explaining how this will ever reach an equilibrium.

You keep using circular logic to justify your reasoning: "miners will be incentivized to be honest because the paper says miners will be honest due to incentives" is not a valid argument until you show the calculation of the cost/reward for being honest vs for colluding.

Worst of all, you start with the premise that "Satoshi's design" is the final solution and that everyone pointing out its flaws are just stupid not to see it. From reading your comments, it seems almost like you treat the paper as some Revealed Truth and that the different actors are just supposed to fulfill their predetermined roles.

If that were true f.lux wouldn't be so significant in my experience. I can't watch TV or use my nintendo switch for very long without suffering from pretty bad eye strain that could evolve into a migraine headache and a night of rough sleep.

But, this is the third time in as many months that a youtube video suggested to me has appeared on HN. It's clear that my interests (and YT suggestion algorithm) aligns with that of many HN readers.

It's _more_ interesting that HN is, in very small doses, infiltrated by megacorp algorithms. Promoted content subsuming independent discovery. Of course, 'subsuming' is too strong a word, so don't take it literally.

It was a fully 32bit machine except for the multimedia co-processors which were the Amiga's most distinctive feature!

The Enhanced Chipset (ECS) was just a minor improvement over the 16-bit DMA design of the original chipset (OCS). Due to the slow memory access, high-resolution VGA modes could use only 4 bitplanes (16 colors) and left very little free bandwidth for actual rendering, resulting in an unusably slow desktop experience.

Zorro III accelerated video cards appeared only later, with outdated PC graphics processors (Matrox, Cirrus...) and brittle OS integration (CyberGraphX, Picasso...). Audio was unchanged from the Amiga 1000 era: 8bit PCM with only 4 channels.

I was a very loyal Amiga user, but the Amiga 3000 is about the time when we started losing our technical edge over PCs. AGA machines arrived too late and were still designed around planar graphics... a fatal mistake.
Nah, it's not that hard. The V-111 will pick up about 8-15 stations off the whip on a SW band scan these days on the US west coast in the morning. In very good conditions you may perhaps have to wade through 30-50 stations, and DPRK will be among the most clear.

4chan's technology board were, let's say, huge fans of Terry Davis, developer of TempleOS. One day during his livestream he said he could see the CIA operators while driving because they would glow in the dark.

Now whenever someone is suspected of being an intelligence agency operator, people reply with pictures of a literal glowing person. Usually happens when someone spreads FUD about technology that's believed to be secure. It is assumed that these agencies are running psychological operations in online communites with the intent to dissuade the use of technology that could defeat them.

I maintain a couple of bigger Github repos and blogs and was shocked at how many links break on a regular basis, so I wrote my own link checker in Rust [1] and started donating to the Wayback Machine. Please consider doing so, too as the web would be a worse place without them. [2]

I saw it as a claim about a person's character and intent based on speculation.
Glowing in the dark is something people say when they refer to people from intelligence services. The idea is they stick out when doing dark/stealthy stuff.
Haha. Don’t worry Apocryphon, I got the joke. :)

It is huge amount to die from a illness and it is so limited mostly because of restrictions. There were just few deaths from flu in the same period.

US just has stupid amount of violent deaths, either homicide or car accidents. 3 times more for vehicle accidents and 10 or times more for homicide than in other countries.

For example car accidents from million in 2019
Below 15
US: 21
Germany: 7
15-24:
US: 139
Germany: 49

This is only counting mortality but there are also hospitalizations and prolonged illness. Fortunately it is very huge but it is not small either.

I wonder if you’re affected by the “notice-dislike” bias the dang [1] often talks about?

Looking at the front page now, there are zero business news stories. At least 15 (half) are straight tech, and a further 8 are tech or science related. Of the remaining 6, one is about Covid-science, one is about tech-politics, one is about culture, one is a YC job listing, one is about HN 15 years ago and the last one is your complaining that there is not enough tech content here.

Sure there’s been a lot of content about Facebook scandals /outages this week, and maybe that’s what you’re focusing on.

But there is a “hide” button on each story, so you can always hide all the stuff that doesn’t interest you and just read the tech content, which always makes up more than half the items in the front page.

For those curious:

Atmel AVR Microcontrollers are commonly sold as Arduino.

Some chips (not ATMega 328P but ATMega 32U4) have native support for USB. This allows them to be used as USB HID devices: a keyboard and mouse.

Here is someone else's tutorial:

https://codeandlife.com/2012/02/11/v-usb-tutorial-continued-...

And a shameless plug for an app that I wrote that uses an Arduino to turn your laptop into a keyboard & mouse, so you don't have to carry around an external keyboard for your Raspberry Pi.

https://hackaday.com/2015/06/27/keymouserial-solves-your-ras...

In practice I now use CNLohr's EspUSB because it's even smaller. I dug out the old KeyMouSerial code last week to turn a mouse scrollwheel and iPod clickwheel into a rotary encoder.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPBzOaLbWhM

V-USB can do much more besides: actuators (power switch, DMX), sensors (thermo, hygro), chip programmers, LCD displays... there are 170 projects listed on the Obdev page.

What you're saying to me here sounds to be talking about culture as in clothing, language, food, music, hairstyles, etc.

I find more modern efforts are probably going to yield much better effects on value of education, intellectualism and work ethics. And those are things like actual financial support and investment into better schooling for underprivileged neighborhoods, better access to loans, more access to paid for higher education programs, and yes, even things like accepting more people from those "cultures" into high paying jobs, and good graduate programs and schools, even if they aren't necessarily the top performers, as long as they still show the qualities needed to succeed.

Otherwise you've got a chicken and egg problem, so you need to take the ones that show promise to be able to break out, and really give them that chance and help them doing so, that can break the cycle.

I'm happy to adapt this to not a traditional notion of "race", there are white sub-culture like you say that suffer from these difficulties as well, and I think they'd need similar support.

Tangentially, on the topic of "ice-cream", I think you're simplifying things. It's a well known issue where hiding your culture (as in the way you dress, talk, eat, joke, the music you listen too, etc.) when your culture is surrounded by negative bias, can be necessary for yourself to enter higher financial spheres. Being called an ice-cream doesn't mean that the person was a cop out because they have a good job or make good money, it generally means that they adopted actual white cultural norms, as in, clothing, hairstyles, accent, behaviors, etc. And not as-in, honesty, hard working, and intellectualism.
I would be really fascinated to read about acquisitions that led to actual explosion of the original product inside an organization and those that didn't, apparently like Keybase. Seems like there must be a financial metric where the purchase price should reflect that, or the size of the team divided by the purchase price would indicate something.
I'm simply not at all interested in political topics here and don't care about the (potential) healthy disagreement. Those threads always derail and spiral to opinions and "us vs. them" mentality.

Never have I found a political comment section here that helped me emerge enlightened. I tried for years, eventually gave up and I'm objectively feeling better because of it.
China is already making green hydrogen today at USD $2.20-2.40/kg, in Ningxia, using alkaline electrolyzers. This is in line with the cost of blue hydrogen, and getting close to the cost of grey. Mostly what's missing at the moment is economies of scale, which is coming. For example, a facility ten times the size of the Ningxia one goes online in 2023, in Inner Mongolia. Combine this with standard cost reductions in PV and wind, and electrolysis of hydrogen will likely be cheaper than SMR by the end of the decade.

US has no technical ability to block mass numbers of connections on a selective basis. That's a 'scale' ability they don't have anything close to. I mean, possibly on some algorithmic basis, but there's no agency with the manpower to do that.

Crude operations to shut down certain parts of the web, yes. Ability to monitor individuals, yes.

But the only entity on earth that can do surveillance at scale is China. They've invented that in the modern sense.

You are running a DC with thousands of machines, while $700 is not insignificant, it shouldn't be a decision making factor at that size. You could run package manager locally and save on that managed cost if you really wanted to.

As developers we constantly discount the value of our time. Your time in developing/maintaining these scripts is not free.

From an org perspective, to maintain a home grown solution is not free either, inevitably someone would take over this part of your role, they would need skills they otherwise probably won't need to have (making hiring harder/costlier) and they will need more training and also will have to spend time maintaining it.

This is true even if you are the founder of the organization. I thought being a founder where I am going to go so early on built solutions like yours. It turns out that doesn't make any difference The role always changes . As an employee we become older acquire more skills/knowledge/experience and role changes or simply leave the org. As a founder we grow the company and have to hire more people to do what once we did.
