How much money YouTubers with 1M subscribers make
Bitcoin's price "in USD" makes more sense as a price "in USDT". It's completely unsurprising that Bitcoin went up relative to USDT after this news.

The big question is when the peg of 1 USDT ~= 1 USD (or USDC) is going to break. Tether is going to do everything they can to maintain that peg as long as possible.
Note this is no longer possible, since 2017 you have to send it to a specified person at time of purchase.
If you let people import their stuff, it's an excellent way to bootstrap a player base, which is the hardest part of game development by far.
It's a chilling effect. Most of the time it's fine and no problem, I haven't had many issues. But it seems like everybody has a friend of a friend who had a problem and that is often enough to dissuade, even if some cases are untrue or exaggerated, that doesn't matter because thats how chilling effect works. Low likelihood but very high impact.
I think it happens because of reddit. A subreddit sucks compared to a forum, yet it's close enough that separate sites have an extremely hard time getting users due to friction. A discord is different enough that reddit isn't a substitute and most people already have accounts, while providing what reddit lacks the most - personal identity and human relationships.
I accept this as a compromise to my preferred solution of "make collecting & hoarding any personal data you don't strictly need to operate very, very illegal, and make using the data you do collect for anything but directly delivering a service to the customer—no 3rd parties, no ads, no using it to train ML models without paying the customer for the data separately with no ties to or requirement-of-consent for other services, et c.—also very illegal."

I don't like this as well, but it's pretty alright.

SimVLM: Simple Visual Language Model Pre-Training with Weak Supervision
> How many hundreds or thousands of enthusiasts are needed before it's suitable to be a daily driver?

Zero. What is needed is a few hundred developers writing actually code to make it useful. The enthusiasts are at best nice to haves. You can blur the line if you write good bug reports, but right now the pinephone doesn't need end users.

The above will change over time. Millions of users would be enough to force carriers to support activating it on their network, something that developers cannot do (at least not legally). Likewise large numbers of users would be enough to those banking apps written. However today millions of users wouldn't make any difference to the important parts of making it work (except in so far as users sometimes become developers)

Read it as "cost-efficiently externally hosting" then I guess. For a PoC I might host locally just to show it off to others, but I wouldn't want to deploy it there long-term, mostly since I'm not physically near said lab for several months at a time so if things went down it'd be a drag.

I can believe in my theory until it is disproven. It has yet to be disproven, and given how the gender balance in these fields has similar bias in all developed nations I'll likely never get disproven.

Your theory that women are held back by bias would require that every developed country coordinated their biases so they map the same by field. That doesn't make sense, there is no way I'll believe that is true unless some really extreme evidence is provided. How else would you explain that the gender ratio for these subjects in Russia is very close to the same as in USA? It isn't like they share culture etc. There are so many fields, why would biology have the most women, then chemistry, then civil, then mechanical etc? It is too much of a coincidence.
Tolerating the intolerant is made much easier when they provide your oil. At least that’s my take on the western world.
It was part of the colony of Quebec at the time. Since that colony did not declare independence, one of the declaring colonies or later the new United States, would have had to annex and occupy that territory. That whole independence and self-government argument would start to sound a bit hollow.

More practically, the region was pretty well-defended. Upper Canada was strongly loyalist and Lower Canada had come to at least tolerate British rule (which was pretty hands-off about local rule and customs, as far as 18th century empires go). And of course the British had excellent transport by controlling the waters, a major disadvantage for the Americans.

Ultimately, see the War of 1812. It's the proposed scenario, more or less. Some have suggested the US fully intended to annex Canada, but there's no clear historical attestation by any leaders to that effect. In any case, at least officially, the Americans declared war following a string of British outrages, and preemptively invade Upper and Lower Canada. Sporadic fighting over two years results in no significant gains for either side and the whole front locked into a stalemale, until the war ended diplomatically.
> maybe not as many guys will want to marry a 35-year-old.

Maybe! Though if the 25-year-old women don't want to get married, and the 30-year-old women are just starting to think about it, the primary options for guys will be the 35-year-olds.

There are two disturbing things in that sentence. At least the JavaScript I can see a reason for, it can check whether your input is correct and maybe autofill or things like that, and should of course be sandboxed. The telemetry part is more scary.
You might want to look into ways to identify cases where people are used to something but not happy about it in your research process. So many things that shouldn't be normal are considered so and tolerated by people who don't do well with it to the point they don't think about it unless someone asks the right question.

Now people set up ways where the game is “gifted” to an email address where you copy the claim url and send that to the purchaser instead of a key.
Generally money laundering schemes are very lossy, apparently 30-50% isn’t unheard of. This is because dirty money you can’t spend is nearly worthless, and because generally the people doing the actual laundering are agreeing to take on a large amount of legal and safety risk and demand to be compensated in proportion.
Some HN readers have more options than others (airline pilots, truck drivers, ship port workers) to remove their creative energy from building dystopian systems.

That's not correct. These wall drawings are not transferred physically; it would be hard to move a wall.

Instead, draughtsmen will simply recreate it according to the instructions of the artist, as given in the diagram, at a new location.

See for example https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/lewitt-wall-drawing-113...:

"Wall Drawing #1136 can be installed, removed, and then reinstalled in another location, as many times as required for exhibition purposes. As such, there can also be periods of time in which the work does not exist in physical form."
Buying an NFT is most certainly NOT a scam. People do it because they want to. Or is there an approved list of Internet actions that you can provide us with.

Also how is buying an NFT money laundering exactly? Especially if it's done on the blockchain, this seems to be the ultimate in traceability if it's done with ETH, which invariably it will be.

I agree about the monopoly part.
I work on perspective, glad you dig it! We just released 1.0 this week after 4+ years of open-source-first development.

Perspective was, in a previous life, a proprietary internal engine for Python/desktop applications at JPMC, that was ported and open-sourced to FINOS as a web assembly based browser component. Open sourcing perspective had a huge impact on the project, not just from the awesome community contributions and engagement and support from FINOS itself, but (as a huge surprise to me) the perspective project's visibility within our company.
BTW I wonder why async is so painless in ES6 compared to Python. Why the presence of GIL (which JS also has) did not make running async coroutines completely transparent, as it made running generators (which are, well, coroutines already). Why the whole even loop thing is even visible at all.

I’m not sure where my statement implied what you are assuming here. I think you may have your dogmatic blinders on.

Both tether, and crypto unrelated to tether are implicated in what I stated. That doesn’t make tether any less a result of libertarian ideology drawn to its conclusion.
I could tell you, but because this information could reduce my purchasing power, I’m choosing to keep quiet.

so true. I've been writing thread-callback code for decades (common in network and gui event loops, see QtPy as an example) and when I looked at asyncio my first thought is "this is not better". It's entirely nontrivial to analyze code using asyncio (or yield) compared to callbacks.
I bet the consequences are very much intended by whatever lobbying firm wrote the bill. Determine who wrote it and who they represented at the time and we can determine what the likely consequences are.
Err, no. People work for companies farming assets, xp and so on in a variety of games and then sell the accounts on the grey market. For normal games. In the NFT space Axie Infinity has a very similar model and similarly targets people in poorer countries with a pay to earn model although their currency was collapsing last I looked. Although it’s intentional rather than something games companies want to avoid it’s not actually mechanically that different.

> suddenly 95% of new cars purchased were Fords, we probably shouldn't initiate trust-busting action against Ford on that basis alone.

Antitrust law isn't about stopping people from accumulating a dominant position. It's about stopping people from using that dominant position to maintain itself or to spread to other areas. Ford produces the "Amazing Car" that everyone wants, costs $1, etc. great! When Ford uses an RFID reader to force it to only fill up at Ford Gas Stations antitrust steps in. The issue isn't that Google is the dominant search engine, but that it uses that to become dominant in ads. It's not that YouTube is dominant in video, but that uses that to encourage people to download Chrome.
Except now replace "platform" with browser, and you have the exact same dilemma as if we still made desktop applications.

It's sad how many "web apps" (and even more regular sites) only work in Chrome - try using Firefox or any non major browser, and quite a lot of the web simply doesn't work.
I have used both. I'm a BIG Unison fan.
Art is represented beyond just the data itself, it's also the legal rights that come alongside it. However, that notwithstanding you're not buying the art. You're not buying the legal rights to the art. You're buying a URL. A signed museum map telling you where you can find art right now. It may in fact just change to different art at some point in the future or disappear entirely, because you bought nothing.

An old Rolex with papers is worth more than without, but the papers without the Rolex are worth nothing. In this case you're just buying the papers.
Perhaps. But we're, what? 10 years in and so far crypto has enabled 'I encrypted your data!' scams, caused political instability, been a vehicle for highly volatile investment (but the world wasn't hurting for such opportunities...), and served as a fine buzzword for dev teams around the world to get a sack of cash to update some systems.

That's a pretty poor result for 10 years of this much investment and focus. The internet was waaaaaaaaaaaaay more useful 10 years in.

I don't think crypto gets to claim the benefits of the oft touted protection against centralized bullies or scams. Quite the opposite: You need to go pretty deep into political dictatorships before crypto on net balance seems favourable. So far crypto coins are far more likely to be fleeced, and the vast majority of crypto holding folks are working with mostly centralized entities (such as Tether), which rate, as far as trustability and good shepherdship goes, not in a good place. Better than Pol Pot and Mugabe. Maybe.

Oof.

Agreed. The browser route using WebAssembly and WebGPU is the path to decentralized distribution of games to players. This is what our team is working on!

Sorry I wasn’t clear, the use of ‘hands’ in my phrasing was alluding to an idiom: https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/be+good+with+your+hands

Building mechanized and static systems with a specialized subset of tools has been found to be more of interest by men across cultures. Who knows if this is due to natural selection.
I wouldn't say CS is particularly special in this regard. Few people lacking prior mathematics background are going to succeed as math majors. The main difference is that math training is a mandatory part of the curriculum throughout elementary school and much of high school, in addition to being a pre-requisite for most university math programs.

If CS was mandatory from grades 1-12 then things might be a lot less skewed in those first year introductory CS courses. Of course you're still going to run into the issue of kids who take up programming as a hobby at a young age and arrive at university with a large lead in skills. On the other hand I've seen math students who have done the same thing.

Yes. Grey market games aren't illegal and people buy them with real money.
Unless you are talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars though your money isn't really useful. Developers are on the higher end of the income curve and so few people alone can afford to hire them like that. You can donate a few hundred so several projects, it will make a difference, but thousands of other people need to do the same before they can hire even one person (and the first people hired will do more IT or administrative work that needs to be done)

I drove a 1997 Riviera for about a decade (I know I know down vote me because it wasn't a 1986 Riviera). But it had some very interesting interface elements for the time that were less advanced than this but also ahead of the 1999 Camaro I had driven previously. I would have kept that car, it only had about 100,000 miles on it, but one of the neighborhood CHUDs rammed it and no one wanted to repair the door that was destroyed by the ramming because no one knew where to find parts for it. Bay area by the way and it's a real shame because I really loved the car in all its gas guzzling glory.
Considering all the crazy shit that goes down with CSGO skins, which have a much more controlled market than NFTs, I find this pretty unsurprising.

I like this idea. In fact another possibility is to have a thread-local reference count for each thread that uses the object which can use fast non-atomic operations, and then each thread can use a shared atomic reference count, that counts how many threads use the object. When each thread-local count goes to zero, the shared count is decremented by one.

This way, if an object is created in one thread and transferred to another, the other thread wouldn't even need to do a lot of atomic reference count manipulations. There wouldn't be surprising behavior in which different threads run the same code with different speed, just by virtue of whether they created the objects or not.
