When i pay for something online, I am giving away my credit card/ debit card/ ACH information away for them to subtract the total amount of my transaction (Or debit it).

I am trusting that outside entity in a number of different ways; To only take the required amount, b.) encrypt my information to prevent my information from leaking.

Credit card data is leaked regularly in mass uploads for pennys on the dollar. Credit card fraud is mediated by the credit companies themselves and is just an insurance issue to them.

Crypto, I sign the transaction to send it to you. You don't get anything but my public id, amount and block time.

Well said.

One thing i have noticed is that many people trying to learn C++ (or any other language for that matter) don't even do the basic homework (eg. read a book) before asking questions. They expect everything to be spoon-fed and to "easily" understand it all. Even a little effort is too much. They simply lack the commitment and persistence to learn anything non-trivial.
More on TLS and MITM. Even though our security unit deems TLS v1.2 and, until recently, v1.1 (!) to be secure and acceptable for the purpose of encrypting sensitive datasets in motion, I vehemently disagree with them and consider anything that is not TLS v1.3 to be insecure. The best compromise I have managed to coax out of the security unit is that the cost of a MITM for TLS v1.2 is still prohibitevely expensive for most players with nefarious intentions, albeit it is not entirely improbable.
Yeah, but ASan requires recompilation. GuardMalloc and MallocScribble apply to your whole process, and so even malloc()s called by system frameworks (ex AppKit) get checked. I've found several OS bugs this way over the years. Maybe internally Apple has ASan builds of the whole OS, but they don't distribute it externally.
HN was also this. I think you, and a lot of people, probably hold HN in some weird kind of high regard. HN is just another anonymous forum frequented mostly by techies.

Also being a constant contrarian is a special flavour here.

The removal of human trust is the source of the speed.

It's effectively the automation of slow, human intermediaries in the financial network that allows you to create a programmable money that runs 24/7 and is open and permissionless to boot.

And with this programmable network, we can see an explosion of innovation, because nobody needs to wait around for a person to approve anything you want to try.
The way this world is now, your mental health is more important than a job you can probably find somewhere else with the satisfaction you’re looking for.
Yes and no. There is an open bias in US University to make it harder for Asian students to get accepted to uni.

They are discriminated based on their race not their exam scores/capabilities. If you knew that part of your score will be artificially deducted in order to meet diversity quota what would you do?
I’ve been shorting a few bitcoin-related public companies on the theory that in a run on Tether they will have to liquidate large bitcoin holdings and bring down the rest of the market. It’s not as direct, but I’m less worried about counterparty risk. I wrote up my thesis here: https://paulbutler.org/2021/betting-against-bitcoin/
Been working perfectly for me since 2018. Ymmv I guess? Not sure why you'd take that attitude though, really not a great way to get across whatever point you think you have other than that you can rant.
Don’t forget about those of us who wouldn’t mind spending a few hundred on diamonds pretty regularly but dropping $10k is a once in a lifetime event. We also likely have kids who would spend less but non-zero for mother’s day etc.
> When the computer was $3,000; another $300 for a BASIC compiler was easier to swallow

It’s funny to me but I almost feel like computers were a pyramid scheme in the 80s

“You should get a computer for home“

“Really? What can I do with it?”

“Run compilers and some business software”

“I don’t need business software at home, what’s a compiler?”

“It helps you build software. It’s like learning a foreign language”

“Oh, I see. So, I buy the computer, then buy software, to make more software which sounds very difficult”

“Exactly!”

“How much?”

“Roughly a Ford Mustang”

“Let’s do it”
The proposed regulation makes so much sense that it sees safe to assume that anyone arguing against it is likely acting in bad faith. Bad faith arguments on a topic so near and dear to my hear make me feel attacked and unsafe! Hopefully be this policy will help reign such antisocial discourse.

It would be interesting to do a find “stablecoin” and replace with “fiat currency” command on this paper to see how it reads
The core problem is that some freedoms also restrict freedoms. For example, my freedom to play music as loud as I want at 4am restricts my neighbour's freedom to have a good nights rest.

Similarly, my freedom to go out on the street and chant "gas the Jews! Gas the Jews!" would restrict the freedom of Jewish people to participate in normal life without fear. And I don't think these fears are ungrounded, or unreasonable, and can be simply dismissed.

Pretty much everyone is in favour of more freedom, across the ideological spectrum. The conflict is the disagreement where the balance lies between "give people the freedom to do what they want" vs. "people using their freedoms to restrict the freedoms of others".

Yeah, building Swift is not straight-forward. There are several repos needs to be checked out and coordinated in lock-steps.

I genuinely think it’s more likely that we have a prosperous colony on Mars first. And I don’t think much of that.
Thank you! I had all the parts lying around and I’ve not put together a full BOM to calculate costs. But it’s two odrives and four brushless motors plus maybe $100-150 in bearings from AliExpress, then some screws and a couple kilos of PETG. So maybe $850 if you built it from scratch?

I haven’t done testing of its capabilities yet as I just got it working today. Also I am running at 24v but I want to try 48v when I can upgrade my odrive controllers to the 56v version.

Not sure about backlash either except joint 3 has bad backlash not due to gearing but from a fixable issue with the way the output connects to the frame.

But I am very happy with this design! I think it’s pretty promising.
Exactly. Nobody before 2009 would have described a highly volatile unbacked synthetic commodity as a "store of value". That's just what Bitcoin partisans shifted to when they realized it was unworkable for its stated purpose as a payment system. E.g.: https://avc.com/2017/08/store-of-value-vs-payment-system/
It's like RuneScape all over again
by timestamping I didn't mean in terms of, getting the most precise time possible, but in terms of a very difficult to fake-in-large-ways timestamp.

I have at least slightly more trust in the bitcoin blockchain not having the times be falsified in a major way than I do for any of the centralized timestamping services where you are trusting the security of those companies' timestamping servers.

The reason why I say "slightly more" is because I do have a pretty large amount of trust in those timestamping sources.

Bringing up the coal-powered is irrelevant to my point, which is not about whether it is worth it, but whether it has any uses.

Some of these things are so region specific. It's funny that he found everything to be so big in NEWARK though.
I don't think the image used at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna of a woman's face is overtly sexual or that using it to illustrate image processing is "misogynistic". Quoting Wikipedia:

'This scan became one of the most used images in computer history.[5] In a 1999 issue of IEEE Transactions on Image Processing "Lena" was used in three separate articles,[6] and the picture continued to appear in scientific journals throughout the beginning of the 21st century.[4] Lenna is so widely accepted in the image processing community that Forsén was a guest at the 50th annual Conference of the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T) in 1997.[7] The use of the photo in electronic imaging has been described as "clearly one of the most important events in [its] history".[8] In 2015, Lena Forsén was also guest of honor at the banquet of IEEE ICIP 2015.[9] After delivering a speech, she chaired the best paper award ceremony.

To explain Lenna's popularity, David C. Munson, editor-in-chief of IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, noted that it was a good test image because of its detail, flat regions, shading, and texture. However, he also noted that its popularity was largely because an image of an attractive woman appealed to the males in a male-dominated field.[10]'

Yes, men chose the image because Lena was attractive, but that does not mean they "objectified" her.
Don't know if you have any children. I will quote a line from chef in South Park: there's a time and a place for everything. It's ok to have a line drawn somewhere and have a hybrid approach, relax the rules gradually. And I'd rather like to be so when I was a kid.

What. Where are you getting any of interpretation this from?

The post mentions:

> small stationery shops

> or shops of any kind

I can literally walk out my door and in 5 minutes have pictures of all of these on my street.

Webstorm has inlay hints. I’ve been waiting for VS Code to add them.
phone numbers are all well leaked and accounted for at this point, and it's trivial for spammers to build a list of 'hot' phone numbers to try to scam with.
Indeed - the U.S. has some of the most extreme health differences between the top end and bottom end of the income spectrum (roughly correlated to class). At the top end, the outcomes (and health measures) are better than anywhere in the world, while at the bottom end they are below most first-world nations:

Is the car respecting pedestrians a thing everywhere in the US, or just where this person has been? My very limited experience in the US (NYC, San Diego and Miami) has been hit or miss regarding traffic, and I wouldn't trust drivers to stop.

I know the story in some European cities is different. I was impressed in London, and a Belgian friend of mine often crossed the streets of Brussels without stopping to look at the traffic, with blind faith they would just stop -- and they did.

In Buenos Aires (Argentina) crossing the street without looking thrice at the approaching cars to make sure they've seen you and intend to stop at the red light is simply suicide. If there's no semaphore, good luck crossing, even if you're carrying a baby. I hear the Italians are like us, which makes sense because of our Italian immigrant DNA.

I hear the author about the toilet water jet -- we Argentinians can be religious about the bidet. Though there is a trend to get rid of it (to copy other countries, but mostly for cost savings I guess), and I hope I'm dead and buried when it finally takes over.
For as long as the mango in MangoDB is rendered as being pear shaped, they should do just fine.
This is what I'd like to see as who don't care health much. Current metrics like heartbeat, SpO2 aren't very useful unless I constantly exercise or become ill, but blood-glucose should be useful metric since we eat everyday.
> Bringing up the coal-powered is irrelevant to my point, which is not about whether it is worth it, but whether it has any uses.

Indeed, I was being glib. Apologies if it was out of place, was meant more for a smile than relevance.
Fun! In my case all the gears are 3D printed so there’s no sourcing issues. Tho those designs are more finished than mine!
As someone from Europe, who's visited the states many times, the idea that the US is comparatively pedestrian friendly to India to a level worth commenting on is surprising.

I think I'd definitely be run over if I ever went to India now
That makes some sense, since in normal banking you can bleed collateral until you're nearly dry without actually provoking a run, and when you're forced to start looking under your couch cushions for change and ask your depositors for patience, there's the trigger for your run. Tether doesn't have to worry about that...

But if "folks desperately try and exchange their USDT for something they can sell at a fiat-backed exchange" then surely the most desperate will be willing to take a haircut on their Tether to get out of it first, and then the Tether price collapses anyway, through some combination of the exchanges shutting down trading, drawing down their own collateral to maintain the peg (and then running out), and/or the exchange reluctantly allowing the price to float?

Like, the too-big-to-failness is definitely part of why it's still a thing, but that just means that the real buyer of last resort is other large crypto holders who don't want the ecosystem to collapse. That's great for Tether-the-company, and maybe good for Tether the coin, but it seems to me sort of distantly related to Tether allowing direct withdrawals.

There's an obvious mechanism for maintaining the peg if Tether allows large holders to redeem Tether: those holders buy any slightly discounted Tether, then hand it back to Tether and redeem it and keep the tiny profit. This will work but it's just Tether propping up the price with its capital with extra steps...
I've been contributing to the IRC ecosystem again. Working on bringing some IRCv3 [1] features to The Lounge [2] right now.

> they also wouldn’t be allowed to use their credentials as faculty members of the University

Everything I have read from the University and the Professors indicates they are being flat out denied under the implicit risk of loosing their job. There is no circumstance where they can testify and not risk loosing their job from what I can tell.
The problem is none of those things are visible where they matter. Sure your function signature might say what “true” means, and what parameter “true” is assigned to. Your IDE will probably even give you hints as you type.

Those won’t show up in code review. They won’t show up in diffs at all if you rename the parameter and change its semantics.
Getting everything you want can be a curse! My belief is that humans need to struggle towards getting better and things. Maybe take up chess?
don't worry, the most important problem is reading is too difficult to do it for most of students

The United States gets a disproportionate amount of attention online. That could be interpreted as some sort of endorsement.

But outside of that, and looking at specific judgment of the country, the opinions are overwhelmingly negative. Like, impossibly negative.

It's really inevitable that people's preconceived notions will be challenged if they spend much time in the US given how incredibly negative the claims about the US are, despite being the premier immigration destination.

Oh man that's super nice of you to say! Quite a few folks have called/written us saying that they really dig the look of it, but you saying "beautiful" seriously warms my heart--thank you!

We're feeling the same way about the rental because based on the response we've gotten it's not like the people inquiring about purchase are all folks who need cheap shelter (some folks want to live in it, others for Airbnb, still others because they want to provide a cheap full-time rental for someone else). Cool thing is how much feedback we're getting, but the rental direction is definitely the most direct "get people who need shelter a shelter" option.

As for a newsletter, I wish we did. If your email's in your profile I'll make a note of it and make you the inaugural subscriber if we end up creating one.

Bio: I'm Kenan, graduating from UIC in Fall 2022. I've done several internships in the research space mostly doing data analysis and backend work for IoT systems. Most recently, I was a OS & Software Dev Engineer for an awesome grant at Argonne National Labs: https://www.anl.gov/mcs/sage-a-softwaredefined-sensor-networ...
I also did some cool work in 2019 for NASA JPL: (PLEASE DISREGARD THE FACIAL HAIR, I WAS TRYING MY BEST)

I'll work on whatever is interesting! I like working with 'tangible' things, concepts that give me a tall stack to work with, or whatever benefits humanity. I'm trying my darndest to learn drawing and to play volleyball. :))
How does learning two languages work for you? Whenever I try it I get really weird mashups in my head.
Switzerland deterred Germany in WWI and WWII. The Finns made Stalin's minor territorial gains seriously expensive.

Taiwan has the advantage of a hundred mile wide moat.

The two principal dangers are paratroops (which took over Crete in short order) and amphibious landings.

Taiwan certainly does need the missile capability to take out aircraft and shipping.

Taiwan would do well to create a citizen army trained and equipped to make life very difficult for an invading army as did the Swiss:

I played around with Mutation Planet (an evolution simulator) on my old iPad and one of the interesting things was how critical the ‘nop’ instruction was to creatures’ survival. At first the faster creatures always won but as population increased and food become more scarce the balance shifted and the lazier/more efficient creatures thrived while the faster ones starved.

Don't even have to go as far as Reddit. Try HN comments threads about SF or "Silly Valley" (Silicon Valley).

Thing is, for those that are here as interns at a FAANG, things really aren't that bad, because, well, around 6-figures they're rich, and America really isn't that bad for the rich. Never has been. It's the poor that are continually screwed and unless the internship has a module on SNAP/EBT, the interns aren't learning that the US isn't so bad to its poor, they're learning how great it is to be rich here.
I got a puppy and I'm its single caregiver. I love having him around but I didn't realize it'd mean being on-call 24/7 plus the rotations on my team at work when I'm really on-call. That's made for some..interesting times.

Having a furry little companion is fun, though, and I'm getting out and socializing way more than before.

Overall a net positive, IMO. Just a lot of work and responsibility.
Same age, also won the IPO lotto, but not enough to not have to work. Just enough to be financially comfortable with any downturn.
