Taxation could be a solution though, with rebates for low-income people and individuals. This means that the disadvantaged still get access to cheap power, where as crypto miners have to pay the (taxed) price which makes their operation less profitable.
How about a new topic every week? From areas you're interested in or at least journeys along your way. Stories from, ideas about or advice on how to be a good manager; what makes good mothers; how to think clearly; how to plan for the future; your pov on how to fix politics/tech/industry/manufacturing/foreign relations/media/cities/the future; how to be a good human; how to bring up kids right; how to run a business; how to drive safely; how to manage your time and all the things your want to do; how to connect with people while doing everything else; how to travel well; how to prep for the end of the world.

How to, or how you, up to you :p;) xx

Basically if you were to leave something behind on this world to benefit future generations... What would you want to contribute? What do you think you could help other people with, save them some pain, bring them some relief or even joy? Best of luck with it all :)

Yes, that's critical. We've used entire stand-ups to discuss how to make stand-ups more effective. Finding a way that makes it quality time for the team is ideal. The goal is for everybody to be able to work and communicate better together.

My favorite version is one in which we just went through the daily Merge/Pull Requests in the system and let that be the check in. It set aside regular time for small code reviews and let everybody showcase things clearly, with room to ask people to dive in for a deeper review right then and there.

IMO it was much more effective than the normal standup ritual.
I don't know why people are surprised by this. Rarely, if ever, has humanity stopped and wondered if the technological path they are about to embark upon may not be the best for the greater good.
There was a video I've seen someone, a year ago, setup a 'pre-heater' for their home heating system with a mining rig, so that the home heater doesn't have to use nearly as much fuel/electricity to warm the home. I forget how efficient it was, but the summary was that the net decrease in cost to run the heater was observable but not significant enough to justify everyone doing so.
If the food is worth the silence, I'll try it out. I understand the policy as Japan is a collectivist country. So it's not quite hard to follow the rules.
If you are not a manager, that sounds a little agro. I can stand for my untouchable lunch break, but the rest is not up to me.
It is you rewriting history.
Mandatory testing before you are allowed to leave house? I see that as next logical step. And really should have been the chosen method instead of vaccination passports.
The anecdotal evidence also has a negative bias. Given two results from a research paper a person is more likely to share a negative result to a positive results. This is anecdotal evidence .
He did not try to say it was turing complete. He was making an analogy: CRISPR:mRNA::Turing Complete:Non-Turing Complete. Not sure how deep that analogy is, since non-turing complete systems can still be very powerful. But I think it gits the idea across OK.
>A lot of electrical stuff like radios and TVs are still useful after 20 years.

Like my incandescent light bulbs? Plenty of things should not be kept around for twenty years simply because their replacements are better for the environment. At a certain point the accumulated impact of an old thing will exceed the impact of making and operating a new thing to replace it.
the FPS is really smooth - and the floating point (?!) calculations of the raycasting engine seem to be totally "on point" ?!?!
Monero is a proof of work cryptocurrency. I like PoW, it is the most secure distributed consensus algorithm we have discovered. If Monero was as popular as Bitcoin, it would use something similar to the energy. None of it is a 'waste of energy'.
Such a great setup! I wish my team would follow something like this. Everyone seems to be in their own silo or they interact with people only for doing a specific task.
True, the study did focus on vaccines, but I would have also thought perhaps a statement in that quoted paragraph along the lines of "And authorise available anti-viral treatments ASAP" would have brought a little more balance.

I do wonder about, and would like to see, a calculation of the cost of widespread anti-viral availability versus the cost of vaccination programmes. The current global COVID-19 death rate is at around 2% of total infectious cases, or around 5 million people.[1] Vaccination will have by now certainly assisted in preventing this number being even higher. I wonder about the cost of producing and distributing globally 500 million anti-viral treatments, versus an also very high number of vaccines and the cost of education programmes prompting people to accept vaccination. Would the current pandemic situation (health and economic) be different if the early focus had have been on anti-viral treatments rather than vaccines?

It is frustrating that anti-mandate crowd ignores this comment, in my mind this is the singular reason that strict measures should still be required.

A functioning health care system is a cornerstone of any modern society. Until we get to a point where subsequent covid waves aren't overloading the healthcare system, then we need to keep fighting this thing.
This spells the end of privacy on the Internet. Your phone 100% identifies you. Plus, if you lose it, you may lose your account as well. I just got an email from Twitter support, saying that I could “restore” my lost access by creating new account. I thought this email was some kind of a joke, but no.
I already have an rtx gpu. It nets about 8$ of eth a day. Uses 250w. So that's around 1$ of power a day. And enough wattage to heat my office. So I can get paid to keep my room at a nice temperature. This is why I mine now
This was what Bourbaki's Elements and Whitehead/Russell's Principia Mathematica were about. These books are admired and influential but very few people actually read them. As you might expect, they're too long. They're for giving a different perspective to people who have already achieved the highest levels of sophistication in math.
A standup, or daily scrum as it's called in scrum, is a simple daily coordination for the team. Nothing more nothing less. It's there for the team to gauge the progress towards the sprint goal and in some cases give a status update on team relevant stuff. You can use it to evaluate prioritization, perhaps a team member is sick, perhaps some task took longer than anticipated. How do we need to adjust to still meet the goal, or are we unable to and should notify the relevant people.
I've been getting this for years. This announcement doesn't seem like a major change to their overall policy, just a ramping up of the roadblocks for CGNAT and the like.

Rather than giving users options, Big Tech has decided to paternalistically kill passwords in favor of less convenient and less secure methods (my email is much less secure than my password store). Even from residential IPs, it's become the norm for banking websites to harass you with snake oil "2FA" every time you login. The only solution is to split up your online activities so you can conform to their demands with one VM/browser config, account for the extra annoyances as the price of using their services, and move as much activity as possible to freedom-respecting technologies.
i mean it depends on what your goals are, if you love the product building experience end to end, startups are your jam, sometimes with a big payoff, if you want faang salaries, then its better to get good at one thing and practice leetcode.
This is the main reason why I liked/chose vue over react at the beginning; SFCs felt like a reasonable way to break up widgets and minimized the learning curve
I didn't find this article compelling. The analogy between the "phases of automobile development" and standup wasn't tight. The only reasons given for ditching standup were "decentralization" and "ShapeUp"– which isn't necessarily at odds with standup– and the author didn't develop these.

In my experience, my business went from no standup to standup and it was a huge boon. "Decentralization" for us was a euphemism for disorganization and chaos. Obviously you can do standup way wrong, but that's a matter of fixing it not ditching it.
Thanks for introducing Automerge, and pointing out the pros/cons! Will dig deeper.

> This is a non-sterilizing vaccine. It was never designed to stop transmission.

Nobody really knew in precise terms what the vaccines were going to do because there was initially no long-term data about their efficacy or studies about transmission.

But it's simply a fact that the vaccines were sold to the public as The Way to end the pandemic and return to normalcy. Did you completely miss all of the talk about "herd immunity"? Are you not aware of all of the places, like California, that ended their mask mandates and told vaccinated individuals they could gather indoors together?

If the vaccines were never intended or thought to significantly reduce if not stop transmission, why was "herd immunity" ever in our pandemic vocabulary? Why did the mask requirements get lifted? Why were vaccinated individuals told they could basically resume normal activities in the company of other vaccinated individuals? And why are some places pushing so hard on vaccine passports?

It's okay that the vaccines haven't proven to be as effective as we had hoped in ending the pandemic. But there is a real issue with the way the vaccines were sold to the public. The messaging that was used to encourage people to get vaccinated was way ahead of what we knew in terms of the science and unfortunately, this is likely going to cause long-term issues. Specifically, I think it's going to be harder and harder to get people to take boosters. I'm predicting that each successive round of boosters will see fewer and fewer takers.
Assuming you mean face and not a coffee mug, can you give an example? Most companies using facial recognition are using 3D maps of facial features using IR or other sensors, not a camera image. Windows Hello and Face ID come to mind, hence why they work in the dark.
Your point of view in evolution is called Adaptionism, but there are those who believe otherwise, and use the term "spandrel" to talk about the "useless" things that evolution carries along.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spandrel_(biology)

Of course, something that is currently useless may become useful as the environment changes. Or it may not. Personally, I find a healthy sense of detachment from purpose, and certainly from any sort of teleology, is necessary to become philosophically consistent with the evidence from evolutionary biology.
Although haproxy and nginx cover (for me) almost all use-cases I had to deal with (with OpenResty [1] as a backup), I see one place where ATS could shine: plugins. From examples [2], C API looks sane and well documented, and this is very important if you want to add some custom stuff inside your proxy server without losing your hair. And no, lua isn't the solution here ;)

Those who had to deal with nginx plugins, I feel your pain...

The point is not in explaining "bad faith", but in explaining how and why the comment you're replying to is "bad faith". Was not clear to me at all that you were being sarcastic.
Google's 2FA is very frustrating to say the least. The forced use of a mobile device with a Google app installed as my primary 2FA device is nothing if not annoying-- I already have 1Password set up in the browser to autofill 2FA codes. Google doesn't seem to like this because after sign in I always have to wait for the prompt saying "open the google app on your phone", then scroll down and click "try a different way" and THEN click a selection to enter a 2FA code. Very very frustrating.
"A vector is a thing with both magnitude and direction" isn't really a good definition. Cars have both -- an SUV is larger than a sedan, establishing a magnitude, and they obviously point in a direction -- but I don't think anyone would mistake them for pointy arrow vectors. If you use the more rigorous definition that a vector is an element of a space that obeys the vector space axioms it becomes easier to invert a vector "semantically" (a thing that doesn't obey the axioms) but quite a bit less useful. Cats don't obey the axioms, nor do punctuation marks.
Your toolkit should abstract all that away. We have these wonderful things called dynamic libraries, that X was designed for a world without because they didn't exist under Unix yet.
Yeah, I discuss that in the whitepaper for the protocol. You might find it interesting, and it's not terribly long.
They don't think the phone represents you. But the combination of proving you know the password and that you have physical access to a trusted device increases the confidence that it's you by a lot.

Depending on the form of second factor you use, it can stop phishing attacks (and don't say you'll never fall for one, anyone can make a mistake). The "send a notification" option for 2FA gives you information about where the login request is coming from, which is a chance to check that someone isn't sitting in the middle of login process. And something like WebAuthn makes phishing impossible outside of a browser exploit since the domains won't match.
I see. Heat pumps must move existing heat from somewhere though. Won't those come from burning fuels?

I have a lot of solar panels in my home. I'm generating more energy than I'm using. I don't consider efficiency to be a significant concern at the moment.
> Addresses that you actually need to memorise are, in practice, only as long as your routing hierarchy is deep.

The prefix I get from my ISP is 56 bits long. And there's no hope of using :: in there. So yes, the public addresses are long and unmemorable.
Competition Is for Losers with Peter Thiel
Under your analogy we shouldn't regulate car exhausts before we regulate cargo ships. At any rate, article says 250k mining devices there so the electricity usage is likely more from mining but not orders of magnitude more, and even if it was it would suggest they are not banned because of how useful it is (arguably gaming is even less useful) but because of size. But sure compare to gaming + TVs then.
You're talking about the broken window fallacy. I don't think it's immediately clear that a more robust and stable electricity network wouldn't lead to additional economical and societal benefits thus making it a positive sum game?
>yet it is the most mined coin

Not a surprise when it is the most valuable one, a day of drops and the corresponding surges that come afterwards can set you up for a long time if you're not from the EU/US, it also appreciates faster than a house, which makes it a great asset to hold.

Not a surprise it is the most sought after, looking at it from the supply/demand aspect.
You know - I bought a piece of salmon the other day. A piece of Salmon, in Pittsburgh, in November, shipped from the Atlantic.

It was $10.99/lb. Which is an increase from $9.99 and felt “expensive”. Then I realized that my $9.99 is paying for the workers at the grocery store, the electricity to power the cooler, the refrigerator, the truck driver, the ice for shipping, the loading dock, the boat, the fishermen, and every other piece of work that went into getting me that fish, in Pittsburgh, in November.

If I wanted to go catch a Salmon in the Atlantic, I could work for the next 5 years of my life and probably not be successful. I’m terrible at building boats, I wouldn’t know what bait to use, or where the fish would even be. I’d probably die at sea.

I write all of that, because at the end of it all, ANY meat or fish for <$10 a pound is an incredible bargain and a testament to our society and specialization in the US. And I think we are living in an incredible time of abundance that is likely unsustainable.

So! What’s the solution? I’m shifting to hobbies with a “buy once” view that may have a high up-front cost, but a low long term recurring cost (e.g. disc golf, guitar (except for string replacement).
Ramen isn't exactly a social food anyway. The food is individual by design, it's hard to eat it with good manners, it's best eaten quickly, and it's cheap so the expectation is that you don't linger and chat.
I'm an avid fan of EVs, but a lot of issues are still there.

For eg, Ola hasn't made a single delivery yet. Also it is too costly for poor people. Forget delivery, they haven't even kept a single vehicle for test drive

Poor people in India struggle with eating twice a day, the ones who have to choose between grocery and medicine don't have 100k to give Ola for an electric 2 wheeler.

The price of petrol 2 wheelers is also shooting up.

Activa cost 40k INR jjst 7yrs ago. Today it's touching 100k INR.

Also range is a big issue as is the availability of chargers and electricity in general.

I read an interview in a newspaper where a daily wage labourer / small office worker said that he earned 500INR daily and has to travel 10km on his petrol bike and it's getting difficult to have any savings. I think.his exact words were "Can't explain to my kid why I didn't bring him any food item or a toy. I just don't have enough money as majority goes in petrol"

Also ruling party ministers have made bizzare claims like "only 5% ppl use petrol"

My agent was traditional and would get a standard 2.5% commission if I went through with the purchase.
It looks like the only person who described them as useless is the editor who wrote the headline, and they did it in an incredibly disingenuous (and grammatically incorrect way) by putting quotes around it. That implies that someone in the study used the word useless, which doesn't actually appear to be the case.
Ask HN: Any programmers here who work for cruise lines?
What's that like if so? I imagine it isn't your standard Rails development, maybe more focused on IT infrastructure or something but was just curious to hear people's experiences.
They're expensive because they are provided by humans. Almost all "stuff" is built by machines and robots with very minimal human involvement. That's what makes them cheap in comparison.
delta completely out competed the original variant, but for the sake of due diligence it would be nice to see data on how effective the vaccine is against the original variant
That's also not what they wrote, they used it as an analogy - in the sense that mRNA can express one very specific thing, and CRISPR can express a much wider variety of things. It's not about literal turing-completeness.
I don't mind them, but I would like if people keep it short. I work on feature X, I have this problem, I need help.
Or I work on feature X, I don't need help. It always devolves into whole blog posts.

Also when you are in a small team and communication is fast and efficient, they are superfluous. Team members already can ask for help and you know what everybody is doing.
Maybe so, but they generate crypto, which heat pumps don’t.

Why is taking the address of a parameter legal? Doesn't this depend on the ABI and could be a register?
Comments like this are antivaxx because they attempt to use a misinterpretation of "science" to negate the benefits of vaccination.

You also have no idea what the FDA or CDC considers or why. Instead you posit your own interpretation of what an approval is or should be.

How to Pull Off Afrocentric Fashion
Actually, the 64/64 split is not always the same.

I cannot get my ISP to allocate me a SINGLE static ipv6. So it's much MUCH more expensive to get an ipv6 address than an ipv4 static IP address.
It has 10000 commits in its git history!
To say it generates no value is a misstatement. Proof of Work offers some value, it is just consumimg too much.

Think about as providing some form of uncensorsable money, eg for orgs like Wikileakd, Tor Project, etc.
The general public doesn't have the best grasp on crypto to begin with. If it starts messing with their ability to go about their daily lives with consistently available electricity at inflated prices then mining in those impacted areas may die a quick political death. Or have their facilities burned down by mobs that need those fires to keep them warm.
Brian posted a histogram a while back on HN showing the backup size distribution of the unlimited customers. There was one customer backing up over 400TB. But, more than 50% of customers were backing up less than 300GB. IOW, they are paying $7/mo for flat-rate unlimited that would only cost
$1.50/mo on B2. Sounds like a good business plan.

To add a Linux plan, which could be lots of larger servers, I would add something like $7/TB/mo rounded up to the nearest TB. This is priced similarly to the flat-rate plan but also accommodates larger servers.

1) It has the same advantage of the unlimited plan that most customers will not be backing up a TB, increasing their margins

2) even if they do backup a TB, B2 is currently priced at $5/TB, so the Linux backup is higher margin

3) there will be an average unused space of 500GB per backup, even for customers backing up more than a TB, further increasing their margins
Public transport costs are increasing as well.

I used to pay 10rs for a shared auto per 5km, now it's gone to 15/20.

Public transport aka buses are still cheap but number of busses and their frequency is low
And yet Mojang did build it.
> I haven't read the article,

lol. tl;dr (apropos in this case): "So, 8.5% hydrogen in helium appears to be non-flammable, whereas anything
above 8.7% is flammable. Eight percent hydrogen really doesn't provide much in the way of cost savings. You probably ought to consider another question concerning your airship business. Are the cost savings by using a 8.5% mixture of hydrogen worth all the trouble and effort it will take to convince your customers that the mixture is safe, as opposed to avoiding the safety questions altogether by using 100% helium?" [implied: probably not]

> but I presume that the use of hydrogen is a non-starter. No-one wants a flaming fireball raining down on them.

it'll probably work just fine on coastal or oceanic automated shipping routes. And oceanic routes would slightly mitigate the risk of someone catastrophically holepunching one with a Class IV laser.
The stand up ritual is a complete and utter waste of time/resource for everyone involved. It can be replaced entirely with an async chat bot if anyone is actually interested.
There's nothing in the comment that "questions" CRISPR, it's just pointing out that due to the larger space of possibilities more care needs to be taken with it.
>Fire police.

Really?
I lack sufficient football knowledge to carry the analogy much further. My understanding is that there's no real discussion...the play is called by the coach, the QB (I expect) relays the play to the team in the huddle, and they execute it per the playbook that they all study. To be comparable, the standup would be where you get your work assigned for the day.
> that's not that high a return for the amount of capital required to be invested.
