Good luck with your wishful thinking. The pandemic will end, inflation will not.
Agreed, a USD CBDC is the right answer, but also seems unlikely to happen.
The article has been there with that text since at least May.

Couldn't find what might've been reported on by the CBS affiliate on 4 Sep 2013 though.
Like many things, I'm sure the answer is "it depends" on the skill sets and location--and I'm sure the situation is even more confused when commercial computing was very new.

But my impression from working in the computer systems space was that there was not a real salary distinction between the electrical engineers and the software people in the 80s through early to mid-90s. And California did not generally offer a sufficient premium to cover CoL at the time. [ADDED: At least this was my experience as a Boston-area person who was recruited by some West Coast companies. One reason I stayed put.]

And, oh, you almost certainly needed a CS or at least an engineering degree.
I think you should ask yourself why you're willing to expend so much energy shaming a startup for choosing a short name, but not expend the same amount of energy denouncing corporations for doing things that are blatantly illegal.

Perhaps the issue here isn't that a company chose the "wrong" name, but that large amounts of folks like yourself have become so complacent, that they're just willing to accept corporations illegally steamrolling any startup who has the nerve to defy them.

Despite your insistence that you're not excusing large corporations for their behavior, you've just done exactly that by attempting to shift the blame.
I started programming in 1981. I bought Turbo Pascal up through Delphi 7. That's all the software I needed to develop and support a commercial application for a decade that was used to report equipment inspections in Electric Utilities.

Computer systems, peripherals, floppy disks, etc. were more expensive back then, before mass production and larger markets drove down prices. Retail software prices, for me, were a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of it.

> Too bad that nobody ever managed to find any of those tiny super spy chips, even three years later.

I wonder if some data center workers received a list of serial numbers that had to fail in the next few days and get decommissioned.

Maybe the request came from the same people operating exit checks in the worker's home country.

There's no way of knowing.
The main point of this thread is that I don't know how to actually get an investigation to happen!
Sure, but the stock collapses are always correlated to income issues

> Naturally there is room for both, but I have learned a ton from practitioners (for lack of a better work) who are decidedly average compared to Warren Buffett's mentors (or Isaac Newton).

That's fair, and it might even lead to the truism that access to a mediocre mentor could actually have better results than reading books by the best mentors. But we must also take into account that different people learn best differently.

Me, I've never really gotten much out of the mentor/mentee model, possibly because I've never had a good mentor. But I feel it goes farther than that - even good lectures have problems holding my attention, and for reasons said elsewhere in the comments, I've found well-developed written sources to be immeasurably beneficial to my learning.

One thing that strikes me is I wonder if there's any correlation to those who can work well remotely and those who learn better from books. This whole "in-person is always better" smacks of the chauvinism the corporate world suffers from in regards to work sites.

That said, yeah, you have to apply and practice eventually. And having someone to imitate or model after, or better yet impart constructive criticism, is invaluable. But there's a whole heck of a lot that can be imparted from reading a book.
Thank you; your two posts have given me more of a practical understanding/faith in cryptocurrencies at large than any number of passionate posts over the years.

I guess it pays to think of Cryptocurrencies other than BitCoin (which is in 90% of headlines), and imagine what CAN be / what superior systems are and can be out there.
I loved Console Wars, and while Nintendo is the competition in the book, I think the real antagonist of the narrative is Sega of Japan. It’s really unfortunate that the two groups couldn’t act as a unified company. (Though I grant that this telling of the story may carry its own bias)

I think that's fair because right now, most or almost all crypto apps are circular.

Yet, I have found it useful to try and separate the fundamental innovations from the current set of assets being manipulated.

Here is a partial list of fundamental crypto innovations:

- non-custodial wallets in general to protect people from predatory institutions or governments

- smart contracts that always do what they say they'll do

- inherent global jurisdiction of blockchains, ie. borderless

- vastly reduced transaction costs to stand up and operate new, networked financial instruments and other kinds of digital asset systems (property registries, etc.)

The fact that these innovations are currently majority operated on dog money, Bitcoin, ETH, etc. is a temporary characteristic of this early stage of crypto's growth.

In the future, these same innovations will operate on everything in the economy.

For example, Tesla stock (backed by custodially-held physical shares, not synthetics) has been available on Solana for some time.

As promised, here is the response I received from Santa Barbara County FD:

Thanks for reaching out to us. While the Munger Hall is not our review responsibility, we are working very closely with the UCSB Fire Marshal in his review. We have a great working relationship with the Fire Marshal. We have had numerous meetings on this project and the Fire Marshal is open and willing to suggestions when it come to fire and life safety issues. We will continue to meet on this project and it is our hope that all fire and life safety issues will be addressed. I am available if you have any further questions or concern. You can also reach out the University Fire Marshal.

So, not a lot of detail (I expected that) but it is interesting that they do seem to allude to there indeed being fire safety issues which need to be addressed.

So many questions. Is this a widely-known thing in the NBC archives? If so, what was the original context and why has it been left up (the CMS entry is dated 2013)? If not, how did the submitter find it? I tried incrementing the URL and got 404s, so the path isn’t discoverable.
Here’s one: in chrome dev tools, hidden behind two menu clicks, you can enable additional tabs including “media”. This is, afaik, the only way to get error messages from video decoding
It does work! I have called for help in a non-life threatening situation with no cell service by using APRS to SMSGTE while doing some off-roading. Even better, you don't even have to have a digipeater nearby. About once every 1.5 hours you can get a chance to send the packet via the ISS during a pass. SMS via space. :-)
No "economic" indicators such as government statistics per se.

The supply chain looks ready to collapse, along with public confidence in all of our institutions. History doesn't repeat, but it sure is rhyming, quite loudly right now.

There are many many months of rent and utility bills that haven't been paid. Due to the massive shift to remote work, commercial office space is likely to experience a 50% or more occupancy drop (maybe even worse?). Our large urban centers have a funding model that is suddenly unsustainable if this happens.

Everything to me, at least, is screaming danger, danger Will Robinson.
> that were wrong about crypto years ago

No, they were exactly right. In ten years, cryptocurrencies have produced nothing of value except speculation. This is like saying the Dutch that didn't sell their homes to buy into the tulip bulb craze were wrong. Sure, people have made huge gains, like all ponzi schemes generate. Most are bagholders, though.

> even as crypto is clearly changing the world like the internet did in the 90s and mobile in the 00s.

Crypto hasn't changed a single thing about the world. There is not a single popular thing backed by crypto. Every example you gave in this thread was either weak, like that DeFi Pulse link, or just straight not even using crypto, like Eco.

When you as an expert can't even identify a popular product using crypto at it's core, it doesn't speak very highly.

> I have been full-time in crypto for years. I could write you a 10,000-word essay on crypto's promising use cases. But, I believe that you, and many others on HN, don't want to hear it.

I am an actual cryptographer and would love to read world salad like that.

> That's too bad, because you guys grew up on sci-fi and rigor, and now you're ignoring that crypto is both rigorously successful and cypherpunk sci-fi come to life.

Stop. Libertarian dorks that don't understand the history of finance is hardly the sci-fi we want.
The UK tolerated child rape gangs for decades, arguably still do. Yet they want to prosecute hurt feelings. Joke of a country.

This isn't a helpful way to frame a question. You may get better responses with more information on <people group>, and by challenging your assumption that they are "fake".
>> If Autopilot poses a significant risk to other road users, then an investigation is warranted.

> Except there's no evidence that it does.

It sounds like you two are talking past one another.

I don't believe op is presenting evidence that it does. Instead, they are saying that there is at least one antidote (TFA) and that someone (presumably a government agency) should investigate it.
It’s been previously ruled that notoriety counts as a commercial gain. The authors could later add monetization to MangoDB, or leverage their increased reputation for gains.
Keep in mind that the Linux Foundation has an incentive to come up with a large number. Still, this is over 10 years old and suggests $1 billion for the Linux kernel and over $10 billion for all the software in a Linux distribution: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press-release/linux-foundati...

And of course Facebook et al. is building on top of a lot of that open source development.
Turbo C went for <$100 new when I bought it around 1987. Admittedly I only ever shelled out for a handful of programs in those days (of which that one was totally worth it), and of course people's resources vary.
Same. The way I see it we're paid for our expertise - not our time.

In terms of free time, I've tried to fill it with hobbies, side-projects, and learning. A lot of my time goes to my son now that he's here. But before that there were some periods where I just did not do anything. The thought has crossed my mind to work two jobs or maybe start a consultancy.

I think the real trick is to find friends. But I'm 30 and its difficult making friends at this age. C'est la vie.
> If there was a way to make them more efficient that did not involve throwing risk models out the window or regulatory arbitrage, someone could just do that in the traditional economy without crypto.

This is assuming there is no value in regulatory arbitrage, which is wrong.

The value of this is proportional to the dysfunction of the existing system in any given country. In countries that impose currency exchange limitations or other authoritarian policies enforced through the financial system, cryptocurrency has more value.

You could capture that value by reforming the laws and governments in those countries, but that hasn't happened.

And one of the benefits of cryptocurrencies is encouraging those reforms. If you can't use the financial system to impose authoritarian policies because people will just use cryptocurrency instead, you might as well not try to use the financial system to impose authoritarian policies, at which point people can use the more efficient ordinary banking system instead of cryptocurrencies. But we're not there yet, are we?
It's fine to remove Huawei from important network equipment in western world, but it shouldn't be banned from Android phone market in worldwide.
Openreach in the UK are deploying 0% new Huawei for FTTP and have basically stopped using them for FTTC because of the 30% rule. EE still use Huawei for new 5G deployments - but only in the access leg and for no more than 30% of their new builds.

They've already forced removal from core/security-critical roles, but that takes serious time to actually implement.
> I was made vaguely aware of the existence of C

This exactly.

When I was in grade school programming games in BASIC in the late 80s, my dad heard from a programmer friend at work that the C language was good for graphics.

It took me a few more years to actually put two and two together and acquire a copy of Turbo C.

Then I actually had to learn the thing, which meant many walks to the brand new Barnes and Noble with a spiral bound notebook and a pen so that I could hand copy information out of books I couldn't afford.

The good old days!

EDIT:

> You turned on your Commodore and it booted into a BASIC prompt

This is also very true. You really could just be like, 8 years old and boot right into a simple programming interface and type some programs from a magazine (and tweak and edit them) and the computer did amazing things.

There is no equivalent of this today.
Yes. The Problem with Document Layer it implements MongoDB API v 3.0.0 and has not been significantly updated for years.

Plus if you use it you need to know how to Operate FoundationDB while MangoDB is stateless Proxy for PostgreSQL which lots of people are able to run.

Jawa | Frontend or Full-stack | Remote (US/CA timezones) | Part-time or Contract

https://jawa.gg is the place for gamers to buy and sell PC parts. We're building a community-driven marketplace where great parts (and builds!) are sold at reasonable prices, without scalping.

We're currently in beta and have a super engaged community on Discord. These are early days, and we're looking for a frontend of full-stack developer to join our small team on a contract basis. As our first engineering hire you'd be working closely with the founders to make our site excellent for our users - especially custom PC builders.

Our tech stack includes React + Next.js on the frontend, and Node.js + Typescript + MySQL on the backend. Ideal candidates would have some experience with the frontend stack and enthusiasm for PC building and gaming. We're a fully-remote team and are keeping things lean right now, but if the fit is right we'd love for this to transition into a full-time position as the company grows.

If this sounds interesting, shoot me a message at andrew at jawa.gg.
I think you have it figured out.
You get reviews for free, so you give reviews for free. It does go both ways.
My remark was merely a rhetorical device :)

That’s true if there’s faith it comes back up from $.90.

If it starts falling to $.99 then $.98 then $.95 then $.90.. you have to decide if it’s really a dip or the end.

How to Run Google Play Store Android Apps on Windows 11
What’s stopping Apple switching its default allocator?
It's kind of a dumb question, to be fair. It should be fairly obvious that I'm trying to sway the people reading the comment.
I can't speak for everyone, but...sometimes it's easier to ask a question in a search bar than heading off to the docs and navigating their menus in order to find where in the docs you need to be looking. Maybe SO links come up first, maybe the actual docs do. However, with the back-n-forth exchanges, it is sometimes easier to grok an SO link than dryly written docs. The first example jumping to mind is AWS related questions.
The only people that have no issues with centralisation are the people who are benefiting from it.

World Bank estimates 31 percent of people globally do not have a bank account. Decentralisation helps these people.

When you deposit money into a bank account, it is not your money. It is the bank's money. You aren't allowed to use it, or spend it how you like without the permission of your bank. Crypto doesn't have this issue.

There are financial tools that only people with net worths of over $100 million have access to, such as market making, arbitrage, liquidations, insurance lending etc. Crypto solves this.

99.9% of banks in traditional finance run their systems on outdated, closed source, barely maintained and bug ridden software. Contracts, money and agreements than can happen in seconds in crypto, takes weeks and months in centralised finance.

If centralised finance had the potential to be more efficient, there should have been more innovation decades ago. Centralised finance needs to catch up.

Yes. Working for an aerospace company, we bought commercial software at commercial prices in the early 1980s. An Ada compiler for VAXen was $40,000. Interleaf, which was like Microsoft Word, was originally $60,000, and came with four Sun workstations and a laser printer. Getting a copy without buying hardware took negotiation, and was still over $1000 per copy.

We had a formal license for UNIX for VAXen. We got that free, because the aerospace company and AT&T had a cross licensing agreement. The free license was a formal document that arrived with the embossed corporate seals of both companies. I made a copy and put it on the side of the CPU, while Legal kept the original. With that in hand, we could then run 4.1 BSD.
> Share buybacks aren’t a stupid idea for Airlines either. If they have too much cash on the balance sheet better to return cash to shareholders as a one off in a tax efficient way rather than pay a regular dividend that they have to cut when the economy turns down.

That's what they thought, and what they did, and then they needed a bailout. Companies that don't save for a rainy day deserve to be wiped out.
Bad faith involves deliberately hiding some truth. It doesn't mean "thing you call someone when you can't win the argument".

And I suspect you know that, which means... ;)
