> Okay, but a mass movement towards ecologically harmonious living would, so what's the hold up?

I think my hesitation is this: don't you worry that the only people that have the life circumstances to contemplate anything like ecologically harmonious living are the affluent, educated, middle (UK terminology) or upper-middle (US terminology) classes? In other words, I think perhaps you're being much too optimistic about what individual humans can achieve, or even care to achieve. Huge numbers of people live near the poverty line; there's no way they are ever going to even think about changing their lives in the direction you suggest with the motivations you suggest. If you accept that claim, doesn't that suggest that habitat-preserving changes have to be mainly driven by institutions and policy/law/regulation, rather than by the actions of individuals?
It's worth noting that the @RomanRaminsky Twitter account it refers to was created today and all of its tweets are to throw barbs at the @bitsdigits account.
Considering BittorrentSync had 10 million installs before IPFS was even born, I'd say you're wrong
> Is this talking about H.R. 3816?

No. The article mentions this is legislation to be introduced next week by Senators Klobuchar and Grassley. H.R. 3816 has already been introduced by Cicilline, a Rhode Island Congressman.
> It's interesting you completely omit the part where he figures out the string in the URL that's a company's ID, and uses that to request a file. In your example it would be "I'm this other person, can you share my own files with me?

The OP was already authorized and authenticated on their own company account. They never falsified their authorization or their identity, they just requested documents at a specific URL and the other party had no problem replying with said documents.
I hadn't known about levels.fyi, thanks.

When I go there.... I see a lot of data points with ~10 years of experience paying ~$140K.

Which is more like I expected honestly -- it's just that OP was blowing my mind suggesting $175K-$225k and up... saying they are using levels.fyi as data too... or discussions here on this post with someone making $175K being considered very underpaid... every time I see salaries discussed on HN I end up confused.
lol yeah: "So can we pay the fine in--" "No."

(Reminds me of Zimbabwe having to come up with money to pay Switzerland for printing their hyperinflating currency.)
I think the biggest thing it will give is a need to go there. Until now, pypy has been able to not do parallelism. But if cpython is suddenly faster for a big class of program, pypy will have to bite the bullet to stay relevant?
Living in the occupied territories is brutal. I wouldn't say it's exactly the same as apartheid, but it's pretty close. There is a general lack of awareness of the history of Palestine and the indigenous people that lived there (and still live there)here in the US. I generally blame our media (news and entertainment) for this. The average American (in the US) is not aware that over 750,000 were forced to leave their land in 1948. My parents were among them. Call it what you will but this is universally recognized as ethnic cleansing and dispossession of land and homes. It's simply settler colonialism (the settlements continue every year). This was well documented by Israeli historian Ilan Pappe (The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine) among others. Most people simply hear news about violence, rockets, suicide bombers, etc. and do not understand the context. It's as if the Palestinians did not exist and the ethnic cleansing did not occur.

As more and more tech workers became aware of the history and context of the Palestine/Israel "problem", they will hopefully consider the moral and ethical implications of their work and make their voices heard.
As a young man in college, you are completely wrong. You're right, you can't imagine - you can't imagine that it's actually better now for all genders.

And yet, there's still a significant amount of bad behavior that goes unpunished despite the claims of many - my partner and friends who are women get harassed all the time and nobody will do anything about it. But sure, men are soooo oppressed on campus...
The official conclusion was that the murderer did probably spot the Palmes as they entered the cinema, giving him time to go and borrow a revolver and get back in time to kill him once the movie was over. I don’t know any definition of stalking that would include that sequence of events. But the topic was data privacy - I strongly doubt that the facts that Palme’s person number and address were public contributed to his death.
I absolutely agree - you NFT devs don't need to pollute the steam ecosystem one bit, your users will find you organically!

I appreciate the humility. So rare!

I think that's it exactly. I suspect HIPAA is a model for this, although not a perfect one. It's like holding health data on large numbers of people -- you need to be registered & bonded, and you have to control access to it. Why is data on your friends & political beliefs any less sensitive than your health?

I hope no one thinks I have a whole manual of how this would operate. That would be the result of a large group saying "This sounds interesting. Let's try to flesh it out."

On the other hand, as I said: breaking up Ma Bell took 14 years. Just saying "break up Big Tech" doesn't answer all the questions, either.

It could just be GP's preferred way of anonymizing their SO without having to resort to the dreaded singular specific "they". Call it light-weight anonymization to make it more difficult to be casually doxxed.
Nope and it's even easier now that Web3 standards like ERC721s and Ethereum exist. It's a few lines of code to make it so that users can sign and pay with crypto, so you don't have to go through third party gatekeepers.
I don't know, I really enjoyed my jailbroken Wii back in the day, so there's definitely precedent for this.
This is a fantastic, illustrative example of why NFTs as they are currently implemented are bullshit.

I'm not sure I'd go so far to call them an outright scam, but they're highly fragile assets that likely won't stand the test of time.

I would be interested to see if someone is working on implementing NFTs in a way that we can feel confident that the digital art will remain provably attached to the NFT for decades and centuries in future.
My biggest question is, if I buy this phone today, with AT&T allow it on their network? My gut says no, they've been brandishing an ugly whitelist around for their big LTE push in February...
I don't disagree, major developers won't use it any time soon. I expect smaller devs will see it as a way to monetise their games. Bear in mind there's a multitude of early access games, the PUBG's, the RUST's, the entire survival sandbox genre who are candidates to adopt NFT's/crypto game currencies.

Big established companies never adopt tech like this until they're forced to adapt.
Really? I've been using compound.finance, and it fluctuates, heavily -- sometimes a lot less than USDC, sometimes a lot more.

> When comparing 2021 larceny theft figures to pre-pandemic 2019 figures, one will find that reports of theft are actually down. From Jan. 1, 2021, to Oct. 10, 2021, there have been 21,842 reports of larceny theft, and there were 31,958 reports over the same period in 2019, which is a 31.6% decrease.

Ok, but this might be very misleading. Wallgreen’s chief complaint is that the laws were changed and police no longer respond to theft under $950. Encouraging small incidence but relatively safe repeated thefts.

So wouldn’t it make complete sense that larceny numbers where police were called, an arrest was made, and a conviction secured would drop if police were instructed to respond only to larger crimes?

If anything I would expect a larger decrease if Walgreen’s is correct.

Not saying this was any plan to “decrease crime by under reporting” or that I can prove the videos I’ve seen of carefree shoplifters weren’t happening previous to the law changes. Just that this might not be the point they are intending to make.
I also thought of VW in this context. The idea that the managers only set policy and it's up to the engineers to figure it out, lesving management with "plausible deniability".
I don’t see companies letting their intellectual property float out onto a public blockchain to be used by any other game. Unless they have total control over how that IP is used, I don’t see any publishers funding games like this. I think it would even undermine their copyright if they didn’t enforce these limitations.

Think about it, a much smaller fish could offer a very similar game that uses the inventories of NFTs from GameA and become a serious threat to the business of GameA overnight by sniping the player base with the promise of keeping their inventory.
When government is so beholden to lobbyists, and lobbyists are paid by corporations, how can you meaningfully get government to act against the interests of those who pay them?
It's a negative for the local housing market, but it's a positive for the seller as well as a positive for the housing market the seller is moving to, because now they have cash to buy in the new market.

Like I said, I think it's a net negative for society, but there are people who get value from it.
They aren't. You're trading one non-fungible thing for a different non-fungible thing.

Alternatively, a game could also offer SFTs (semi-fungible tokens, as described in ERC-1155 [1]), in which case players could trade multiple identical versions of some indivisible asset. Something like a skin or a hat would be an SFT unless only one copy of it existed (i.e. only one player could ever use that skin or hat at any time).

It's been a few years since I last played around with PyPy but while it provided amazing performance gains for simple algorithmic code I saw no speed up on a more complex web application.
Evil plan: Create a network distributed system (kind of like Seti@Home) specifically for doing this. If there was enough participation to make a difference the advertisers would have to invest in countermeasures which could lead to an arms-race that ultimately erodes all profit from it.

That just adds a further complication that you need to find people that want to spend ETH on a game download rather than a speculative asset to hold or flip.
From my advice, try to stay on Python.

I am currently doing the opposite. Moving an old Java stack to Python/Django. Been able to do so under 9 months. I think upgrading to Python 3 should be doable. What's the version of your Django stack? You just need to try to reach Django 2.2. And if you are at Django 1.1, 90% of your code can be upgraded to Python 3. Nothing fancy. You just need to use libraries such as pyupgrade [0] to automatically upgrade your code, combined with black [1], flake [2],... Everything is done in less than 20 commits. From there you jump to 2.2 which supports Python 3.6+ .

It will be very difficult to implement all the goodies given by Django ORM/SQLAlchemy. But ... You if Java/C# is the tech that you feel confortable with, no problem. You have to use it. But, I really think it's easier to understand the "business domain" of Python code than Java/C#.

Regulators are also people.
That's the thing, though, Tether is supposed to be holding all these assets and individuals are able to redeem Tethers proportionally. Leaving aside the strict notion of 1 Tether = 1 Dollar convertibility, just closing up shop would mean all those actual real world assets now belong to... who exactly?

> eliminate lobbying

If Congress is about to pass a bill regulating tech companies, should it be illegal for said companies' employees to reach out to their representatives? What if one of them offers to drive others to D.C. to meet the bill's sponsors in person? What if one of them, say a manager, picks up the gas tab? Would a service that notifies you when bills in your interest areas come up for debate be considered lobbying? Should a Congressperson's staff, drafting a bill to regulate agriculture, be banned from reaching out to farmers for input?

Lobbying encompasses a lot of activities. Some of it is fundamental to citizen-representative communication. A lot of it is sleazy. One of the principal problems the lobby-reform movement faces is in imprecisely delineating between the two.

(Lower-hanging fruit, in my opinion: elected officials "retiring" into padded Board seats and advisory roles. And campaign finance.)
..and you're not allowed to walk into someone's house if they only have a door frame instead of a locked door. they are for preventing criminals from forcefully breaking in. but you don't have to break in to commit the crime. that's why it's called "breaking and entering" - there are two criminal acts committed.
> if I'm missing on any new developments since 2015

Yes, you missed something huge.

Apple Silicon M1 or nothing. It's just too good. Low power consumption allows the laptop to actually be used as a laptop. The power use-to-performance ratio is unmatched by anything on the market. Apple is breaking us free from decades of stagnation on the hardware front.

Nothing else on the market comes close. I expect this to change in the future. Will happily switch to a linux laptop once an energy efficient alternative to x86 becomes mainstream for linux. There's just no way I can go back to x86 after tasting the sweet nectar of M1.
The idea that misogyny among men is responsible for keeping women out of STEM fields contrasts starkly with the considerably higher representation of women in STEM in highly misogynistic countries and lower representation in more equal countries.

I've also rarely encountered commenters on hacker news saying women cannot succeed in engineering, and it's downvote heavily in the rare instances it does appear. You claim it's present in this thread, in your previous comment, yet don't link to any instances of this alleged disparagement. It strikes me as the kind of statement that stems from assumptions rather than concrete observations.
What I’m thinking more of are the people I knew who got into a religion/philosophy, even a diet, etc. where they read a bit & trusted some of the people they met who sounded like they knew a lot more. Some of what they said they believed in a lot, some of it was just going along with their group identity.

If you directly confronted them about an inconsistency or them not personally following one of those rules they’d get defensive since at some point they’d staked that out as something they believed but if there was a way to say something had changed or their hand had been forced, they’d take it and move on.

> An example of one of these, the most commonly cited bad-thing-to-optmize example that I've seen, is typing speed (when discussing this, people usually say that typing speed doesn't matter because more time is spent thinking than typing). But, when I look at where my time goes, a lot of it is spent typing.

I’m glad someone agrees with me on this. The argument that “I don’t spend a lot of time typing” is just false. Furthermore, if you’re good at typing, you free up brain cycles to allocate to higher level work. Slow typers severely underestimate how much brain power is spent on that.
We are talking about totally different things, and I have absolutely no issue with fractional reserve banking and have no conspiracy laden issue or understanding of it.

What you mentioned happens. And requires a charter from governments to occur.

What I mentioned happens too. And simply relies on the tolerance of the market.

One is about banks.

Another is about the amount of unsecured leverage that all individuals and entities can operate with, and whether their counterparties need disclosure or not.

“Fractional reserve” in this context, is more about the ratio of collateral, used colloquially for quicker understanding. “Loan to value” could be helpful for other people to understand. “margin requirements” for other people.

I am only referencing the reality that individuals, businesses, and almost any kind of entity, can have a lower value of assets redeemeable for any liability they issue or accrue. It can be a “fraction” or their “reserves”.
Netflix fires organizer of trans employee walkout
Language is very small part of it. For example me contributing a anx7688 driver for pinephone to make convergence work was C coding, yes, but also reading through type-c spec, battery charging 1.2 spec, usb-pd specs, alt-dp specs, and figuring out how it all works from 0 knowledge, to tie all that together on a quirky HW design, with several hardware bugs that I had to discover first, and non-cooperating PMIC/and type-c controller, on 3 different pinephone HW variants.

C coding is the easiest thing. Hard part is figuring out what needs to be done and getting quite detailed understanding of how everything works on HW level, lots of trying and testing with various USB devices in various scenarios. There's also a lot of reverse engineering, because no HW vendor cooperates with random fucks from the internet and gives them free support. :)
Is this even a NP-hard problem?
> Isn't this pretty much the description of every company?

For the most part, sure. But that's the parent's point, I think. Central banks are not companies, they are part of the public financial infrastructure of a nation (or, in the EU case, group of nations).
Okay? NFTs are still fundamentally stupid and only exist because people can make money selling worthless...nothings. That meets the definition of "scam" in my book.

Bitcoin at least has theoretical uses, although practically it is definitely a negative force in the world. Their current price does not logically make them useful.
