Most companies like Airbnb, Turo, Boatsetter (airbnb for boats) offer some insurance they negotiate with an underwriter like Geico. Getting this sort of insurance individually is much more costly or next to impossible, which is why we don't see people short-term renting expensive assets to each other on Craigslist. I imagine negotiating the ability to dole out these sorts of policies at scale with Lloyd's of London or GEICO is fairly arduous, but it seems like one of more key pieces for these companies to successfully get off the ground to me.
Forums are awesome for this context. It is most of the time better for privacy as well.

But is it just me or whenever I use Discourse forum, my FB container in Firefox shows it has blocked something which FB uses to track me! This is in multiple discourse forums self hosted and otherwise. So am assuming it is bundled with Discourse. This bugs me the hell out. And Discourse is everywhere too since it has an open source version.

Wait until it does but by then you might not get replacement parts or the skills needed to fix the code might be rare.
I'm not the one ranting here. Biden has

1) put a moratorium on oil and gas leases in Federal lands and waters

2) cancelled one pipeline already and is about to cancel another (which means prices go up as trucks need to ship in the fuel)

The above makes oil and gas more costly to extract and to ship, which raises the price.

Moreover he is lobbying to remove all investment tax deductions for Oil and Gas (even though other industries still obtain them)

Modern-day privateers?
That is true but doesn't fully explain the OP's "what's relevant or even correct" bit. The truth is that OG wikis needed a special kind of moderators---affectionally called WikiGardener or even WikiMaster---who clean up things and deal with conflicts without removing values provided by prior authors but possibly removing the contents themselves. If this sounds absurd that's because it does; it is waaay harder to maintain than typical forums and even encyclopedic wikis popularized by Wikipedia. And without those kind of hard and thankless moderation non-encyclopedic wikis generally end up with being a dump of uncurated informations.

Love and sex are two different things. There's a reason we have two separate words, not just one.

And, people can love their parents, children, and siblings. Does not mean they want to have sex with them.
> Anybody actually uses crypto for legal goods and services?

I regularly use my crypto-backed (ie balance is in cryptocurrencies) Binance Visa card to make purchases. I have some money in cryptocurrency exchanges because their lending (used to lend to margin traders) systems have better interest rates than my banks savings accounts do and when I want to use the money I use my crypto-backed Visa card.

I suppose you can argue this is only possible because of the margin traders, but for me it acts as a higher interest savings account that’s a good place to keep some money that I don’t need immediately accessible (I need to move it to the card to use it) but is still accessible if I need to make a purchase with it.

In the past I’ve also used cryptocurrencies to transfer money between myself (I’m in Europe) and family in Australia, as a cheaper faster means of transfer than international bank transfer or western union.

So there are at least some legitimate uses, even if the criminal uses outnumber them.
They're horrifically expensive, but something like an electric brompton as most of those same advantages. You can also usually take them on a bus or train.

I'd disagree on the looking suave bit, it might just be because so many riders are clueless (and this perception being reenforced by selection bias), but someone on an escooter always looks far sillier to me than someone on a dutch style or folding bike, or even someone in lycra.
It could work even if the kidnapper knew it in cases like this:

* kidnapper distracted by other things

* kidnapper distracted by having been on the road long enough to be spending all their energy on "not falling asleep" and "paying attention to the road ahead"

* victim in back seat, partially hidden

* kidnapper has temporarily left victim alone in a place they feel confident flight is unlikely

If it starts to become too popular then once stories start spreading of victims who managed to escape despite their kidnapper noticing them using this sign, then new signs will be suggested and circulated. Asking a bartender/waitress if they can make a particular (nonexistant) drink. Blinking in a certain cadence. Crossing your arms and tapping your upper arm five times. Whatever. Language evolves.

I've been in the women's bathroom in bars and seen signs posted out of view from outside that say "if you need help escaping from the person you are with, say this innocuous but specific phrase to the staff". This was long before TikTok existed, and maybe before this gesture existed - I dunno, maybe I just never got shown it.
Conspiracy is very probably a viable charge.

RICO is quite dicey--the main charges in these indictments are 18 USC §1030 charges, which do not qualify as predicate acts for RICO charges. But the 18 USC §1956 charge (i.e., money laundering) does qualify, although the fact that there's only one count in these indictments means it's going to be harder to describe the necessary pattern for RICO. If it does, then I believe the other elements of 18 USC §1962(c) could be straightforwardly shown. (In particular, the defendant and the enterprise are clearly different).

But IANAL, and the details here can be incredibly convoluted, so make of that what you will.

Good. Hopefully all major banks get hacked and it creates a mess.
this is not accurate/correct (anymore). there was a point in time when Melbourne was not "the worlds most livable city" and as such we have/had a train network from the 1950s, including the control systems which mostly ran up untill 2009 under connex' tenure post privatisation.

Metro Trains which is a consortium took over the train network at this point and was contractually obligated by the state to upgrade all core and edge technology systems.

I worked at MTM circa 2016/2017 and all the truly legacy operation control systems had been replaced.

there was a heap of funding allocated for fun things like maintaining OCMS/IT systems and updating customer facing/passenger information systems.
What to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.
No it isn’t. Love serves no purpose.
> can anyone explain me the intuition of naming these types decentralized and distributed?

> Both seem decentralized and distributed

Decentralized is being used in the sense that there is no single node that at the 'center' of the network (that is, a single node that all other nodes must connect to to participate in the network).

So, yes, a distributed network is 'merely' an extreme example of decentralization, but the term isn't usually used that way.

In practice, however, most successful distributed networks aren't 'pure', and have portions that look more like the decentralized diagram, at least temporarily. Sometimes this is forced by the underlying transport topology (eg. network 'backbones'), and sometimes this is an adaptive feature for increasing efficiency and throughput (eg. 'supernodes', etc.). In general, though, as long as such optimizations are adaptive and ephemeral, we'd still call such networks distributed.

Meanwhile, using email as a prototypical example of a decentralized network is somewhat misleading: if you only look at the servers, the network is actually distributed (any server can connect to any other). The lumpiness of decentralization only emerges when you add all the email clients. Except that these days most of the clients are web based and so the decentralization fades back into a distributed-ish model. The browser that you use to open your webmail account doesn't really count, as it isn't itself participating in the network of email protocols (POP, IMAP, SMTP).

This finally seems like a legitimate use of crypto, thanks for the patience. What’s the main benefit for your case of using crypto over wiring fiat currencies?
> And a rate of a trillion worth of goods per year will stop flowing into USA

A 1% tax would not cause a trillion worth of goods per year to stop flowing into the USA. Honestly, I think you are reacting too emotionally. The nice thing about a tax is it can be gradually increased to reduce foreign investment. There are actually many that have discussed taxes on foreign capital inflows, it's not some random idea I just cooked up.

>Your explanation here is like saying [crazy stuff]

No, it's nothing like that. If you have some substantive disagreement, let's here it over the doomsaying. Note, the real downside here is just somewhat higher equilibrium interest rates, which is why now is a great time to do this.

> crash will be horrible.

`~/.ssh/config` is pretty awesome
Never ever ever ever give your phone number to Google for verification or authorization. People just don't understand how easy it is to find someone's phone number and then steal it for long enough to steal e.g. emails. Has happened, will happen etc. Like ssn, phone numbers were never made for this purpose. In fact phone numbers and services (e.g. SMS) are just the front end and are setup to be easy to redirect.

We had incidents in the past just because the colleague had given the number to Google and those were corporate accounts.

Every time a service moves to SMS or phone calls for 2FA a cry can be felt across the universe by any security engineer/cryptographer.

If you are a person responsible for this: please don't. If my antiquated bank that is insured and doesn't really care can understand this, so can you, if you care just a bit.
What’s a “tax pool”?
Most of the economy isn't tradeable though, including major sectors like housing, education, health care etc.

If other countries get sick of buying US bonds, the relative value of the currency might depreciate. But as long as it doesn't happen all of a sudden that might not be catastrophic - other countries having stronger currencies might reduce US imports and increase exports (narrowing the trade deficit). Plus increasing automation might mitigate the cost of manufacturing in the US vs overseas.
I believe that many of you commenting here about the terrible dangers of social media's addictiveness and so forth more likely than not simply live in a bubble where you yourselves and the circles of people around you are unusually addicted to it.

I can spend a few minutes on Facebook or Instagram a few times a day and that's it, no problem leaving and few problems with self image anxiety because of some influenciar or other people's profiles. Most of my friends are more or less similar, and if they use their own social media profiles for anything more heavily, it's because of work obligations, but outside of those obligations, they simply don't qualify as addicted.

Of course, my own story may be coming from a different kind of bubble of its own, and after all it's no more than an anecdote, but I'd love to see a concrete, empirical study that shows just how many people out of a given population (broken down by age or demographic groups maybe) really do get emotionally crushed by social media addiction, and how many people are more or less casual about using it and don't take it too seriously. The harping and woeful lamenting that I keep seeing on HN (ironically full of people who benefited financially from and helped facilitate this very technology in their careers) about how social networks are creating an emotional wasteland is no substitute for real data.

All the above aside, the big social networks are indeed fully, empirically worthy of criticism for their endlessly parasitical scrounging for personal data and perpetual monetized surveillance of every person they can push into "engagement". This however doesn't necessarily mean that they're succeeding as much as some like to think at the mass emotional manipulation aspect. The two things need not strongly correlate.

After all, as many other seemingly contradictory comments on this same site have noted in the past, much of the ad and content suggestions that sites like FB or Insta push on people are often laughably off the mark at guessing interest or preference, yet at the same time, these same faulty algorithms somehow supposedly devastate the self images and belief systems of millions of people? So, which is it? It could be both, but that seems rather doubtful.
until the bubble bursts and bankrupts shittons of people causing bank runoffs and failures...like in 1929 and 2008...

Well, humans are selfish, regardless of their mode of transportation. That's why we need infrastructure (and laws) that ensures that the selfish choice is the socially beneficial one too.
The problem with all these sertipious signals is that there would essentially be so many of them that all kind of innocuous behaviour could be misinterpreted and people would become unsure and it'd all come full circle. It'd end up in comedic farce.

With regards to the bar examples, they may work in a constrained context where the victim is familiar with the venue. They wouldn't work in the case of victim being transported around under the control of their attacker.
It doesn't address the Trust On First Use (TOFU) issue.
But the current inflow of goods has nothing to do with foreign investments, it has to do with the US government printing a ton of money and ultimately that money gets used to buy goods from other countries.

And no matter what finance trickery you do, fact is that USA will need to stop consuming so much. Your solution would lead to the same decrease in consumption, just with different means. And when that happens it will no longer be able to attract foreign workers as easily since American consumption is no longer privileged. And when that happens the domino effect will cause issues all over the economy.
In defense of government, they need to have an audit trail and (in functioning democracies) can be held accountable when things go seriously wrong, so it means they only have a select few orgs to choose from that have passed all the certifications/due diligence. Connex (the company running the show at the time) were a private operator who has lease of the rail system for probably long enough to justify modernizing some of the systems, but maybe not enough to justify a full rewrite. Rewrites of systems with big safety implications, like civil transport, would have a different risk profile to upgrades of less consequential legacy systems

Virtualization detection could also be addressed by using tooling that resists detection. Are there publicly available tools in this area and does it work against rootkit style DRM?

There seems to be a fair bit of pubished research under the term "sandbox evasion" at least, in the malware research field.
I'm trying to pitch a flat section of roof on my house because it leaks. Flat roofs are sometimes flat because of too-low or badly-defined building height limits.

Boringness also probably comes from increasing numbers of people involved in approvals. Try getting some wild thing through public hearings and city councils. Much harder than a cube. The boringness is a feature, not a bug.

I bet there's a ton of other factors too, like the cited attention cost of detail.

What you say is true. Unfortunately I don't think you can trivially switch it to a C++ compiler, because they use {[FOO] = ...} initialization.

It would be cool (not necessarily useful, probably not a good use of time) to rewrite it in Rust while keeping the dependency count in the single digits. It would be helpful to contributors to add architectural documentation.
For me the first step to managing ADHD was to realize that the name "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" doesn't really tell me much that's useful. It doesn't have any useful attack points. Consider instead: "difficulty Organizing and Sustaining a Directed Effort". I work on each of these three issues separately.

Directed Effort: it is hard to take the time to explicitly declare exactly what I want to accomplish. I struggle not to just jump into an effort, but that is pathological.

Organize: having declared what I want to accomplish the next step for me is to explicitly organize exactly how I am going to go about pursuing that direction. Again my tendency is to just jump in and "do it". Again that is pathological.

Sustain: My commitment to any effort decays rapidly. I need to create an explicit schedule of sessions for reviewing my progress and refreshing my understanding and commitment.

The one key word that makes this work is "explicit". It's painful, but without making the effort to write it out in complete form, my projects wither away. This is not a magic solution, because even then it is a struggle to get to completion. I use an outliner for this.

I have struggled with ADHD for 75 years. That is my best understanding of the problem.

The more I read about this subject, the only thing that becomes reinforced is that nobody really knows what the hell is going on with the markets. The inflation / deflation debate has been raging on for years now, and it's still not clear what we are experiencing in this virualised economy of ours.

Gun to head? I think it seems that 'inflation' is not really inflation - but a kind of profit tax that seems to be being priced in to charge more for things because everyone else is doing it. A lot of debt was paid down with the stimulus, rents/real estate are frickin skyrocketing, so it's difficult for me to believe that there is a huge surge of demand because everyone is suddenly flush.

As for the the supply chain issues / trade war / materials shortage - again, that doesn't seem to be inflationary or a demand shock, but a temporal supply-side issue not being able to keep up with regular demand as things reboot.

What little research that has been done on asexuality puts us at closer to 1%.
I'm certainly an outlier, but it seems intuitively likely that
I'm experiencing a subset of what other people experience, rather than a disjoint. Ie, other people feel the socio-emotional component as well as the lust component, with me lacking the latter.

However, it might be difficult for most people to orthogonalize these two components, since for them they occur simultaneously. That's the relevance of my asexuality to my comment: I suspect it allows me to experience the socio-emotional component without also experiencing the lust component, and thereby more easily see them as different.

If it's true that there's both a lust and socio-emotional component, it still seems inaccurate (or at least, idiosyncratic) to refer to the combination of the two as "lust".
Because we made it that way, cars had nothing to do with it.

Reverse-engineering of even simple binaries tends to be difficult enough, without the stakes being as high as the program safely running the train control system of a major city. I can't pretend to know what conditions this was originally engineered under, but these kind of systems today are subject to intensely rigorous testing, and sometimes formal analysis. In a safety-critical system it's just not going to be worth doing that. Plus, if the original source code has been misplaced, the original requirement documents are probably gone too.
