A majority of long form writing is extremely low information density and, even worse, just designed to retain attention as long as possible. I now dislike majority of news articles which starts with pseudo-literary description of anecdot and a main detail is revealed 3/4 of the way in sentence or two. It’s purely filler and like sugar it has a purpose. I want all long form writing to have sub title to tell the core of story in one line, followed by abstract, or let Twitter guy summarize it for me.
That is vastly underselling they ultility of gold. The electronics industry alone uses billions of dollars a year of the stuff.
Acting on a file not published in any known source and considering it as evidence from Google side, is jsut ridiculous.
In the same logic: investing in Van Gogh art is a ponzi scheme. Indeed, “People invest into it because they expect good profits, and that expectation is sustained by such profits being paid to those who choose to cash out. However,
there is no external source of revenue for those payoffs. Instead, the payoffs come entirely from new investment money, while the operators take away a large portion of this money.”
Yes, the Sotheby’s and Christie’s take away a portion of the money.

Any rebuke to this will work for bitcoin as well: yes, there are people who like a. Van Gogh painting, as well as there are people who like to have weird crypto money.

Off course, this does not mean that I would recommend buying bitcoin. But I would not recommend anyone investing in Van Gogh either.
It looks like a place I’d like to live in <3
Definitely an option, but I don't know if most bloggers know the difference between vectors and rasters.

I also think you would need to balance aesthetics and efficiency. No one will use the browser image library if all of the images are just simple graphics. You'd still want some shots of nature, cityscapes, etc.

To be fair, he addresses gold towards the end:

> By that definition, gold too is a ponzi. No, gold clearly fails to satisfy that definition on two counts.

> First, few if any gold investors have expectations of profits. They generally invest in gold as a hedge -- a "store of value" -- that they hope will retain its value in case other assets go sour.

> Second, as a commodity, gold HAS a source of revenue besides the investors; namely, the purchases by consumers like jewelers and industry, who take gold out of the market (2/3 of the production) for uses other than re-sale. When one buys 1 oz of gold, one gets a chip of a metal that one can sell to those consumers, and thus obtain some money that does not come from other investors.
I have been talking with few companies about switching job but the decided to drop all of them as I would have to work much more and be some kind of mobile tech lead for barely any difference in money. Now I am living by in a company where I do my work in few hours and got a lot of free time.

Besides that I have made a RC plane with fpv system on it and been just flying around. Find that very therapeutic and good escape from reality.

Honestly I am only 27 and been working full time as a developer for little over 5 years but I am having a hard time thinking that I have to do this for next 40 years until I retire, feeling a bit of burn out already.

I am now thinking about going to UNI again to do my master degree and maybe go away from mobile development and work on something meaningful.
I don’t get why storage isn’t sexier compared to CPUs. Vast amounts of cheap and fast storage is the enabler of our current computing paradigm, every bit as much as CPU tech. And it’s just as cutting edge! NAND is working right up against the limits of physics just like every semiconductor technology. There are hugely interesting problems being solved around optimizing cost and performance and capacity and scalability.

But all the buzz seems to be about RISC-V and Apple’s chips, and Intel’s woes. All the hardware superstars are CPU people. Who’s the Jim Keller of storage?
My wife and I briefly returned to Seattle for a work event, and she said the two times she stopped by the CVS across the street from the Belltown hotel there was a mass shoplifting in progress with someone emptying shelves into a duffle bag. The week we moved out of state I-5 had multiple incidents of bricks being dropped into traffic. It is getting pretty bad.

Before moving, the maintenance man at her prior concierge job was sadly killed by a tenant who had made violent threats, because police resources were not available to accompany evictions due to the ongoing riots and CHAZ nonsense.
So you telling me if the people where united in a way that they will organize a strike against a specific company, that company will no longer exist? So workers does matter they just have to adapt to the mentality of strikes.

Also if you read the about pages on the site, it says the post authors are digital people that were bred (...i.e. two digital people mated) on its sister site Celody. You use Celody to earn tokens (by listening to generative music) that you can spend on mating digital people and drafting laws.
This sort of makes sense, as unnecessary movement drains energy. It seems counterintuitive, then, that sleep has survived for so long, but the forces pushing for it must be strong.

It does seem rather coincidental that we sleep for 7-9 hours, which is the majority of the dark time, during which wakefulness would only expend energy with little gain (thinking of apes instead of modern humans)
Well it just depends how much you trust the entity in control of the money and whether they will allow it for things you want. Will they let you buy a plane ride if it's your tenth trip already this year to see your sick mom in Hawaii? Maybe not, too much carbon. Control of money is control of society, even the individual if you apply a little tech to the mechanics. Trump and Hitler were both elected democratically, are you okay with either of them pulling the strings on the only thing you can exchange for your labour?

What about Xi in China with their real life social credit system built by exactly who? Should that regime be trusted with that much control over that much humanity?
There is a lot missing from this story.

How old was the Model S?

How did nobody hit her from behind if it was a four car pileup as you say elsewhere? It was all her plowing into four cars?

What follow distance setting did she have it on?

What were the road conditions? Dark? Light? Snow? Ice? Dry? Sandy? Flat?

What was the speed limit on this highway?

How long had the light been red?

Was the light functioning properly?

Two impacts could simply be a bounce of either your car or her car. Not some mystery, right?

Where did this happen?

Are there any reports online (local law enforcement, etc.) about what happened?

What happened shortly before? (i.e. How long had you been stopped at the light?)

Were the four cars involved all cars that she hit directly, or was it a domino effect?

Where were you relative to the other two cars besides the Tesla that were affected?

None of this is to excuse the Tesla, just a lot of info missing here that would be interesting to hear.

Caveats: This was a few years ago, not sure what the situation is now; Current BTC tx fees make that rather expensive (which may or may not be alleviated by lightning or a cheaper to send crypto).

Bitcoin does not.

This is basically the Quantify Self movement. I have a picture of every meal since 2005. Currently past 15K images. All taken under similar lighting and angle in the hopes I can analyze later. Not knowing ML was coming. i may still do that but what I wish I did more/better job of is health. If in a spreadsheet let's say noted things like mood, energy, times of most production, life happiness etc. Now in my 40's with aliments. I wish I had the data to see maybe when/where/what about things that are taking place now. Including eccky things like BM info like when, type etc... also including lipid panel info etc when you typically do a full blood workup. Moving job to job diff health care to health care. There is no exportable consistent dataset you can "carry" with you maybe until now but even now it's painful as they don't allow for easy export.

How many times have you gone to your doc and get asked a basic "when did this start?" question and/or what were you doing 2 mons when it started.

There is a evolution in health care monitoring going on which can lead to incredible insights into your health both mental and physical, but then so does the world where it may judge you based on what you have now that you can't keep anything a secret.
Honestly index funds and cash from retirement savings is a ponzi scheme as well then
I think when rates dropped below 4%, people already pulled out of deposits and went into tangible assets. I hink it's going to be a long time before people flock back into long-term savings accounts
The firm decides whether to hire at a price the CEO asks; not what to pay. There is maybe a percentage of leeway, but not a lot.

A salary is just what it costs to retain your employment -- that's it. When you can find higher pay elsewhere, eventually you will take the offer. Companies arent donating money.

CEO pay has only become significant in recent years because of equity, ie., CEOs since the 80s have increasingly been paid in shares. That is where the disparaity comes from.

Since the CEOs job is largely to focus on the share price -- do you see why giving them lots of equity is exactly the sensible thing to do?

Have you considered longing a BTCUSDT perpetual and shorting an equivalent BTCUSDC contract or e.g. borrow and sell BTC if you dislike the other stablecoins?

The big risk in your play is that the crowd in a panic will select another stable coin for going on the sideline IF AND ONLY IF such a coin is available. If not they will buy the most stable non-stablecoin which is ... drumroll ... bitcoin.

Of course, long-term effects might be different.

My point isn't that optimization tends to decrease as we get more powerful. My point is that we don't simply scale our use cases towards more resource-hungry applications.

Mobile phones prove my point. As processors became more powerful we didn't simply make them bigger and more power hungry, instead we sought out use cases where we could make the devices smaller and more portable, thereby using the performance enhancements to miniaturize computers rather then simply scaling them up.

Yeah, well there definitely isn’t a requirement for third party sellers to weigh the parcels - in almost all instances the shipping weight field is just calculated based on the packing list and known weights for each item and the packaging material. All large Amazon sellers I’ve worked for did this.

An exception to this is if it’s shipped by Amazon, as I believe they have in-line weigh scales.

Amazon as a company though is almost impossible to deal with if you need to do something outside their regular processes or procedures, and they are heavily bureaucratic from an external perspective (including to their ‘partners’). I suspect you have unfortunately reached a block on their internal flow chart that says “no refund” and the customer services operative has very little discretion to do something different.
What if my document was leaked?
This is so stupid and easily debunked (see previous comment thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28781586) that I suspect it is a covert PR piece for Bitcoin. It even makes people who hate crypto start defending it.

There are many good arguments against Bitcoin but claiming it's a Ponzi scheme by definition is not one of them.

I really don’t get why people keep calling the stock market a ponzi. Companies (successful companies) generate cash flow in a way that gold and bitcoin do not. Absent any other buyers or new money flowing into equities, those businesses will still have to return capital to shareholders either through dividends or buybacks. So the equity market can still appreciate without any new capital as companies buyback their own stock.

Maplesoft Maple 2022 Crack+ Serial Key [Latest] Free Download
I have two "diskless" servers that operate as ephemeral file hosting, like a pastebin. One runs Up1, but in tmpfs. When it boots it copies everything to tmpfs and tells all logging to go to /tmp. I run that one on a t1.micro or equivalent - basically a raspberry pi. The storage is touched on boot and that's it. I never bothered to make the rootfs remount read-only, but that would be fun, too.

The other one is a message queue sort of thing, and I don't want records of the messages (there's way too many), so it's all done in ram too.

Both can be rebooted arbitrarily with a half minute service interruption - and I often reboot them because they run out of 'storage', and I go through and compile "LTS" kernels and patches for the software 2-4 times a year. The nodejs Up1 is so locked down I don't mess with node anymore, though.

If I had faster internet I would host everything on low power computers on-site. It's my favorite way to run systems.
Yes, this articulates what I was thinking very well.

Binary relations / operators are a good example of 2. Things that could be infix operators but can’t because language. It’d be a nightmare if those functions required an object as an interface.

As with everything design, there is no hard and fast rule. Keyword arguments / passing an object make wonderfully clear interfaces in a number of situations and it’s helpful to have them. But applying the pattern everywhere would be a complete disaster.
The authors postulates for classifying Bitcoin as a ponzi is a follows.

1. People invest into it because they expect good profits, and

2. That expectation is sustained by such profits being paid to those who choose to cash out. However,

3. There is no external source of revenue for those payoffs. Instead,

4. The payoffs come entirely from new investment money, while

the operators take away a large portion of this money.

Many other things fit these. Art, Start Ups, Collectable Watches, Non dividend paying stocks, Real estate and many others.

But what most people don't understand is that Bitcoin is NOT an investment scheme, you can speculate on its price, But it not designed to be an investment scheme.

Bitcoin was meant to be a utility (a peer to peer cash system as Satoshi described), like Oil i.e a platform for anarchist banking.

Speculation should be seen only as a by-product use case of bitcoin.

Mostly of these angry "Bitcoin is a Scam" blog posts surface when the price skyrockets.
From this, I suspect it has more todo with the jealousy of watching people more stupid than you getting rich. Not what Bitcoin actually is.

The legacy financial system is rotten beyond repair. We need alternatives that are not run by crooks in good suits.

So what happens when the owner wants to sell it, but forgets the PIN?
to the extent that they involve dishonesty/fraud, yes.

Arguably, when monetary supply increases are publicized, then there is no dishonesty, so not a ponzi scheme.

They have another component though: legal tender laws that force people to accept them for debts, and capital gains laws on other assets that give them an unfair advantage.

So ponzi or not -- probably not what the free market would choose in the absence of such laws.

Exploratory clicking on MDN can help. For the language itself, a recent official ES paper. When learning yet another programming language seriously, I’m usually skimming through the standard library symbols to see the spirit of it, because stdlib/lang creators usually know both design and rationale. I also clicked through all of the tabs in a developer console in my browser to see what’s useful there. I doesn’t take up much time, and is much more complete. Personally I’ve never understood the value of these blog posts, because their appearance on your horizon is erratic and unpredictable unlike documentation and exploration, e.g. this article brought nothing new to me despite I’m only 2-3 years into javascript/web (out of much longer swdev career which taught me to educate actively), but ymmw.

My absolutely respectful but straightforward advice is: stop relying on blog posts, just go and click where you didn’t. It’s not a secret sacral knowledge, it’s you being anxious of unknowns of your development tool and of scary docs which are actually your friends.
I see this argument a lot on HN, but whenever I look at web pages (which is pretty much all day, every day) I don't see very much that could be removed without radically changing the user experience. I understand that some people don't believe reactive single page apps, that are device responsive, that have accessibility features, and that are localized for different languages are a good idea, but if you do think those things are what you want to deliver then websites aren't "bloated". They're just big. They do lots of things. The argument is less about the code and more about people railing against what the web is these days. Fair enough if that's the case, but at least make the argument that you don't like modern websites rather than try to hide it behind a claim it's about code optimization.

The only exception to that is adverts. There's a ton of code delivered in websites that isn't necessary, and it's mostly for displaying ads and tracking people so the ads can be optimized for better conversion.
This argument is old and useless now. It is a ponzi if you are ideologically inclined to believe it is a ponzi, and people will keep handwaving around it.

Each generation chooses its bubbles. The younger generations have been told in no uncertain terms that they are locked out of investment in real estate and many other instruments that are controlled by the aging generations. So they create their own bubbles and they will keep supporting them because every generation wants to achieve some level of wealth. People keep underestimating the intrinsic value of bitcoin as a store of wealth and a means to devalue the unequal economy. Many things look like ponzi but are not, because they never burst. People putting themselves outside the bitcoin bubble are willinging missing the future.
The author conveniently misses all the important points that easily break his argument.

>> A Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud that lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors

Early investors in bitcoin were people who never expected it to cost anything at all. They mined or bought it solely for the idea.

Also if it wasn't created with purpose of fraud it is not a Ponzi scheme.

Someone makes something - people like it - prices goes up. Ponzi scheme? Nope.

I don't know how you read my post and came to the conclusion I didn't know what Kubernetes was.

> Kubernetes is a framework... There is no "one true solution/pattern", only what fits your needs.

Right, this is the opposite of what "framework" means in the rest of software development. If I choose RoR or Spring, it's because I want someone else to have made these decisions, reasonably, for me.

Kubernetes is instead like a random pile of tools, most of which are not directly useful to developers, with minimal guidance on which you should use or how you should put them together. All the sharp edges of the Unix shell, and none of the composability or fluency.
