The last 40 years have been a period of high inflation, shrinking (real) wages, and "shrinkflation" losses in quality of life.

One could argue that this has happened precisely because financial institutions can invent "wealth" independent of creating things with intrinsic value through labor/industry -- leaving an unproductive segment of society nominally wealthy by fabricating dollars for themselves. For example, in the past two years, "elites" have handed themselves trillions in fabricated dollars.

Something that couldn't happen, if dollars were gold backed.

I’m using them in a css-based design tool I’m working on. The “canvas” is inside of an iframe so that I can completely control the styling irrespective of the application itself.

There are definitely a few scenarios where they are useful.
It doesn’t mean that the US stablecoin would be easily usable on different cryptocurrencies, and easily swappable across different cryptocurrencies.
When the KMT left China for Taiwan they carried a (figurative) boat load of Chinese Cultural Masterpieces with them. Those objects are still in Taiwan and China (I'm not a fan of the current administration) deserve to have them returned. Why trade those objects back to China in return for independence?
If I can resell it, or services made possible or higher value by having made the investment, generally no.

And there is no E2EE on desktop. People should really stop talking about Telegram when we are talking about secure private messaging apps. Telegram DOES NOT HAVE E2EE on desktop and it is opt-in on phones.

Briar is the best choice on phones, and it is also available on desktop which is under development. For now, Ricochet is the best choice on desktop (only). I get that it would be nice to have a piece of software working on both desktop and phone, but still. For that I just use Element.
Oof, my bad. You're of course correct.
What is international democracy? We currently have the UN, but in practice it draws on the resources of the US to enforce its decisions (such as Iran sanctions).

So what system do you have to propose, and how is it better? Remember that your explanation must explain how International Democracy avoids interacts with conflict between nations, how it maintains the global economy, in particular the safety of the shipping lanes and banking systems / currency exchanges. You must be able to adjudicate border disputes and prevent large nations from claiming large swaths of sea as territory. You must be able to explain how your system avoids becoming a tyranny of the richest, strongest, or most cunning states, as well as how it remains stable and doesn't become anarchy.

Good luck.
This is really cool. I'm 30 right now, and only just recently finished my bachelors and have been looking to get a PhD, but it's really hard to find a program that will let you work full time while doing it. It doesn't help that a part of me does sort of feel "too old" to do this sometimes. The PhD system in the US is really tailored around the assumption that you haven't entered the corporate world yet.

Anyway, it's really inspiring that someone almost three times my age pushed himself through the program. I guess it's important to remember that you really shouldn't give up on your dreams.
Yes, with credit cards, there’s little reason to keep money in checking unless you have a low credit limit. I hold physical cash for real tail risk, and you can always deposit that if need be.
Either markets work or they don't.

Sure, in the short term, unregulated markets can be manipulated.

But Tether's been around more than seven years, more than enough time for the "smart money" to profit by obliterating them.

You can sell Tether on Coinbase for U.S. Dollar deposits to your bank account.

The fact that Tether maintains its 1:1 peg to the dollar is a signal that maybe all the smart guys who have been confidently predicting its imminent and inevitable failure for the last seven years might be missing something.
It did happen at Gox and Quadriga, although I suspect you're probably right that the market will equalize above zero.
Are you 100% sure of anything? That there aren't any NSA employees bribed by the CPP? Just like Chelsea Manning and Snowden took gigabytes of confidential information right from under the US government nose, they could do the same without any elaborate techniques. Soviet spies were very successful and stole atomic bomb secrets.

But let's suppose everyone working for the government or subcontracted by them is 100% loyal and CCP never manages to blackmail them.

What does it take to bribe a DPD guy on minimum wage delivering your 'American produced' equipment, who can't afford a dentist and is in pain every day? Let's say you ask him to 'mistake' one package for another, and have millions at your disposal?

You talk about "techniques even under X-ray to mask a rogue chip", but do network operators even bother opening the casing of the router to validate the motherboard has not been replaced entirely?
What if it's networking equipment where China replaced a single chip, who is ever going to find out?
Does the network operator validate firmware of every single chip?

We have security holes all over the place, this talk of 100% certainty is basically fantasy.
Speaking of alternative keyboard layouts, I'd love to keep a Blickensderfer [1] around the house and learn DHIATENSOR. Unfortunately it's one of several aspirational hobbies of mine that's a complete and total anachronism with zero utility (like learning Morse Code, running an SGI Indy, or building tube amps) that I can't justify spending time and money on :-/.

Money transfers across borders. I have friends who live internationally and crypto has become our defacto way to transfer money.

But frankly, your presentation of the question leaves me doubtful you are looking for a meaningful answer here. The reality, as others have pointed out, is that there are lots of platforms in the space offering plenty of compelling services. You personally may not desire those services, but that doesn't change their viability.
Being a morning person or a night person isn’t only a personal preference; it’s also genetic.

I’ve learned a huge amount of sleep lately and every cell in our bodies is regulated by our circadian rhythms.

There are five forward facing cameras on a Model 3. Was it all five of them that were blurry? How could you tell? Or just the one selected as the frontmost one on the dash cam video?
Was looking at dusty bakers stats the other night and he played professionally for 30 years, took 7 years off and started coaching. 15 years of coaching later and he’s in the World Series.

I looked at my profession like that and I realize I’m on the cusp of retirement, but only from the physical tool that my body can’t handle anymore. I see all the new kids around me with no purpose, no way and I think about what an effective leader could do for them. Someone that could hone their skills into excellence. I realized that my time as an engineer is nearing an end and I need to get some coaching skills under my belt and then lead a team to the promised land.

Like 50 said, get rich or die trying

I don’t buy that they’re closing the stores due to theft. What I can believe is they’re unwilling to increase wages in one of the most expensive zip codes to have low paying jobs.

If you have the time and feeling lost, I suggest you to spend 10 days for a vipassana meditation camp. They have centers worldwide. Happy Birthday btw!
I didn’t have this realisation during the retreat, but in the months that followed (because I had been regularly practising).

During the retreat, however, I did experience more clear mindedness, and more compassion than before. There was a moment when someone’s behaviour irked me and kicked off a spiral of negative thinking (all very easy to rationalise by the way!). But I soon snapped out of it and felt compassion for that person and let it go. It’s a process.
thanks! i only mention it here because I do think it sort of falls under the hacker ethos. At least my motivations for it are similar
I've done side projects before, but I feel like I don't have a knack for business. I decided to try and start writing after it was suggested to me many times.

I work in the finance/crypto space, so decided to try and write some articles about the basics on my personal blog (https://machow.ski).

So far I am enjoying it, though it's a lot of work! Getting people to read what you write is also not straight forward.
The US government is required to do this.

It is called the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution

> .... nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

The US government decided to make a judgment call on the legality of Huawei; the US government in keeping with the Law, paid just compensation to the owners of the equipment.

It is the right call to make.
I am so jealous. I always wanted to do a PhD and was even accepted to a good program.
Ended up not going as I could not gather up the courage to leave my job behind.
I sincerely hope the experience getting the physics doctorate was all that he had imagined!

This isn't a "bail out". Government is essentially paying telcos to replace all of this gear, after previously having no problem with the fact that they installed it in the first place.
Ask HN: Was Python created with S/S+/R in mind?
Professor here.

You definitely aren’t too old, but I would never take on a PhD student that wants to continue working elsewhere. A PhD is a full-time job. It took me 6.5 years and was hard enough with very little outside distractions.
There are five forward facing cameras in a Model 3. So you're not being told the full picture here.
i don't think it's about the grass (which generally they say not to walk or sit on, so as to not cause damage). Colleges/universities are run like schools (our schools are strict, have to wear uniform, mandatory attendance etc. etc.). So the level of freedom mentioned by OP in the U.S College, compared to India, would be 10x different
You need to understand that Madoff is one thing and the people stealing formula because they don’t have the means are on entirely different universes.

Punishing these people “severely” will generally lead to the same kind of behavior happening. You can’t punish these people out of poverty.
That's pretty much what they are. Hard drives are binned based on the yield of each production run. Server drives get the best lots, then tier one OEMs, etc. External drives are the lowest bin before the trash bin.
China doesn't need to go to war. It is already on track to become the 'Number One' country within very few years. A war would only slow it down.

On the other hand, the US is paranoid about the inexorable prospect of being demoted from 'Number One' to 'Number Two'. It's only way of stopping that IS a war.

The trouble is, the US has left its run too late. War or no war, the US is destined in a few years to be demoted. If it chooses war, it will be destroyed like Germany was in 1945.
My point was Rossman's use of the phrase "refurbished" really means "fixed under warranty". Whether a refurbished is worth the risk is of course, one's own evaluation, but the video is not a representative of Apple refurbished store processes.

What an incredible story. He is my pole star.
Yes, this would be nice idea!
Imagine being referred to like that: "a blonde chemist", "a short philosopher", "a small-nosed mathematician" or "a brown physicist".

Edit. Unless the title really meant "a student of the brown physics department has earned PhD at the age of 89".
COVID the pandemic ended back in May when the vaccine was widely available. What we have today is COVID the Culture War, screaming about The Science, and narcissists showing how much better they are at following The Rules than you.

My daughter has spent nearly half her life wearing a mask 50 hours a week for a disease less risky to her than the Flu or RSV. The vaccine has a ~6x risk of myocarditis for her than COVID itself. Who does that protect?

We squandered our opportunity to open up months ago. The vaccine apparently DOES rapidly lose efficacy, as more data has shown, and one political party wants a booster subscription model and outright refuses to commit to any sort of end.
I think the fact that kleptocracy, brain-drain and mis-regulation are real problems are part of the reason for the (relative) popularity of objectivism.

You can't get people to buy into your solution until you get them to buy into the problem.
And again, there is no E2EE on desktop. Telegram looks nice, and it ends there.
This is the advantage of having 1.2 firearms per capita in the US. If there are paratroopers landing in Boise, they're gonna have a bad landing and it won't be because of the parachute.
This gives me hope. I'm not even half his age, but already worry about my brain going. When I was 17 I could do basic calculus in my head. Today I struggle to carry numbers in long addition problems.

It already has me thinking about my career and future - it certainly is downhill from here.

Then something like this happens and just makes me feel like a big baby. Hats off Mr Steiner.
Keyboards are much more fast and precise.
Didn’t the heart bleed exploit originate from an open source library?

I don’t think open source is the panacea you think it is, exploits will exist as long as they’re profitable and state actors have incentives to stock pile zero days. My guess is it’ll make it even easier to identify zero days if everything was open source.
Yes! The internet is a fine example of people acting out their hidden anger and then “justifying” it - perpetuating the dream that they are stuck in.

Another “justification” that is often used is that anger is required to spur people into action else we’d be, like you said, “emotionless robots”. This is a false dichotomy. Negative and positive emotions are two sides of the same coin and lead to clouded thinking. Being aware of these emotions allows us to access the deeper joy and wisdom within us. Being mindful of our emotions doesn’t make us emotionless at all. Once someone experiences the clear-mindedness of not being stuck in a cycle of negative and positive emotions, it is hard to not recommend to others. It truly is very freeing.
This sums up my feelings about the show pretty well. Loved the books, hated the show. It gets rid of everything that was interesting about the books - the high level narrative about civilization and power projection mechanisms and replaces it with generic Hollywood sci-fi tropes, with cringy romance subplots thrown in. The second episode was so bad I stopped watching.
Most current cryptographic hash functions have no lookup tables, multiplies, or other data dependencies and are constant time even when used with a secret key as in HMAC. Obviously variable input length varies run time as with all symmetric crypto.

I'm European and everything in the article is the same from this perspective, except the scale of class differences, which tends to be even lower here (or inverted: I don't have a single friend who owns a car, and I'd be afraid of being ostracized if I ever bought one)
Is/ought. Person you’re responding to is not saying “we should trust org X”

They’re saying “org X wouldn’t tell us even if they found evidence”
Briar is far superior. Yes, there is support for desktop as well, but it is under heavy development.

For phones: Briar

For desktop: Ricochet

Yes, I get it, Ricochet lacks a lot of goodies Telegram has, but having stickers != secure. For secure chatting only, Ricochet does the job. No one will even know that you are using it. :)

For those who have forgotten, the US won Operation Desert Storm in the most overkill way. It was so insane and completely overwhelming. I highly recommend watching this series about it, no one has dug into history like the Operations Room channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxRgfBXn6Mg
Except DocDB is not a drop-in replacement despite what Amazon says.

People have tried and failed to get our software running on DocumentDB, whereas another developer got it running on CosmosDB with minimal changes upstream.

Oh, I came to that conclusion after I had checked the image URIs which shows they are all in a subdirectory titled aipeople LOL
I have the same experience as the author. Not having physical buttons at the bottom is a dealbreaker for me. I use the trackpad with the thumb on the buttons and move around with the index finger, and never felt the need for a trackpad larger than the 8cmx4.5cm that I have. I feel bigger trackpads just get in the way more

Not exactly that but I’ve been thinking about some ideas around social networking, messaging, media (photo, videos) and so on, but focused on private networks such as extended families. All with privacy being the core design element.

Exactly. How hard can it be? It would make it way more secure for almost no effort. I would use Signal if it did not require a phone number or an e-mail address (whichever it requires).
> Huawei kit has been extensively analysed by GCHQ. They found nothing untoward.

That's not true. GCHQ looked at source that was provided and found many unpatched vulns, and then found that the firmware binaries were not matching the source that was provided (with a single exception), so only Hwawei really knows what their devices do.
I'd love to see a resurgence in this early-50's art deco style. It would be a nice and mature evolution of our bland, minimalist metro art styles that dominate corporate handouts and web ads.
I like the huge touchpad on my MBP 13". I don't miss the smaller ones at all.
Just had twin girls. I have a feeling that will be my life for a while.
I have exactly the opposite issue. Apple's trackpads are so good at responsiveness, palm rejection, and overall smoothness that it's the very reason I can't ever seem to switch off of Macs.

I even use a Magic Trackpad at my desk.
Had they left them behind, there's a good Chance Mao's PLA, red guards, or workers' unions would have destroyed 'symbols of oppression' or 'symbols of bourgeois' or 'anti-proletarian symbols'. In any event, they would have been symbols of the Four Olds [旧思想 旧文化 旧风俗 & 旧习惯)] which needed to be extirpated. They went so far as denounce, burn and destroy historic statues of emperors, buddhas, etc. So... maybe not.
I did a masters in physics when I was 24 and thought not getting paid a meaningful sum of money was incredibly frustrating. If my two remaining brain cells still function at 84 I'll certainly take on a PhD program.
I'm convinced that people who want physical buttons and small touchpads, or worse: people who like the trackpoint/nipple mouse on ThinkPads just haven't used a quality touch pad.

I don't really like macos at all, and their laptops are overpriced, but Apple has had best-in-breed touch pads for years.

I actually prefer the touchpad to a mouse for most tasks.
