Everyone is born with different privileges, traits, circumstances, and opportunities and I would separate intelligence vs skill vs knowledgeable.

I meet a lot of people who think very highly of themselves because they can recite a lot of information at me and can explain how something works. Generally I see these people as extremely knowledgeable but that doesn't necessarily entail they are somehow more intelligent.

The same can be said with skills. You may be the worlds best at a task or hobby but let's not automatically assume you are somehow more intelligent.
How is a NFT enforceable in contrast? There's no way to prove who owns what address, e-contract, etc, that doesn't just fall back onto standard established contract law.
>What is it in your psychology that makes you

it seems like you missed the punchline

>I'm bipolar schizoaffective and borderline.
If I come to your house and steal some piece of art that you hold an NFT for, the NFT isn't going to get you your art back.

If I sell it, the NFT isn't going to notice that it is on display in a museum and take appropriate action.

And so on. Smart contracts are neat, but they depend on all the same mechanisms that other contracts use.
This scam doesn't seem to have anything to do with actual Zelle aside from using it to enhance the social aspect of the phishing. If Zelle didn't exist, they'd use some other service that gave their scam a patina of truth.

How to Read Local JSON File in Angular
I am tutoring my son in law and we started with Scratch following cs50. It was thankfully (to me) only 1 lesson before jumping to C. Do you have references for Scratch being more efficient in teaching basic concepts? Or just intuitive because no syntax (which very well may be true)?

Scratch is slower interaction for me just because I have muscle memory for text/ide/command-line, but I can see how Scratch would be a lot faster with novices given the pervasive threads and click-to-run.

Work on boring yet important problems, to maximize your impact.

Super smart people will work on interesting problems. They don't care if something important or not and as a consequence don't make much money.

Smart people work on interesting and important problems.
More easily owned by groups?! We have well established legal processes, company structure and contract law to determine who owns what, and you're to say that NFT makes this more efficient? I don't see the parallel to shipping containers at all.
> It's difficult to articulate the specific drawbacks. It's more organizational than operational. Imagine that you have a server dropping at random times. The logs say something ambiguous, and now you have to become full time sysadmin to some elusive problem. No one in your organization will want to deal with these sorts of issues, nor will they want you to burn time on it. There will inevitably be other tasks higher on the list. Operational issues gradually build up like other forms of technical debt. No one receives applause for updating the server BIOS over the weekend. Operational discipline/maintenance inevitably becomes last priority.

This sort of thing happens in dedicated hosting too. Unless you want them to just swap a box (which is OK I guess), chances are their support team doesn't know what's going on, and isn't going to spend all day diagnosing your weird issue that only happens sometimes. So someone on your team needs to do it.

I don't have enough experience in cloud hosting to know, but I'd guess it happens there too; although I'd guess if you see weird issues, swapping to a new VM is standard operations there.
Do you know basic electronics? I bought one of those cheapie elegy arduino starter kits on Amazon and actually found it to be great. Lots of common commodity sensors and parts, and a useable manual to walk you through them. It helped springboard me into larger projects, and move on to ros.

I fell for this, and I have never fallen for a computer scam in my life, nor even had so much as a virus in the last two decades.

However, it is very sophisticated. They somehow managed to actually get a fraudulent charge on my card. When I got the spoofed message from "my bank", the first thing I did was log onto my legitimate account. Sure enough, there was a charge I did not recognize.

The rest was just a series of unfortunate "rookie" mistakes on my part. But the person who called me was highly professional, easily could have been a real customer support representative and spoke English perfectly with no accent.

They took the max, $5,000. My bank thankfully refunded it.

,,Also going to the gym is pretty easy, so if you know “the path to happiness” why not just take it?''

I'm doing it but I'm 40 and the gains are not the same...my girlfriend left me for a younger and much stronger guy (and no, just younger wasn't enough in itself). Also in the 90s whenever I asked a girl if she likes muscular guys, they usually answered ,,not that much''. They are much more open nowdays about what they want from a man than 20 years ago.

Use cases that depend primarily on CPU and do not need significant GPU processing show similar performance between the Pro and Max chips with have exactly the same CPU core count. 10 cores = 10 cores

It was pretty clear when Apple released these 2 variants of the M1 chip that the purpose of the Max was to provide a significantly larger GPU for specific processing needs. Many applications spend most of their time using the CPU with only moderate to minimal use of the GPU.

This is the expected outcome.
I searched for less than 5 minutes and found four examples pretty handily. Anyway, the point was that you could pay with BTC and high transaction fees killed that use case. Feel free to substitute "anywhere" as you please.
California Pizza Kitchen spills over 100k employee Social Security numbers
I have had the same feelings for the last few years now.

I started strong at 18 with an explosive growth in knowledge and skill till about 23 years of age. I was praised by pretty much everyone around me and that had turned into a positive feedback loop.

The plateau started when I started giving time to other things in life like relationships and a few other changes.

I am sitting at 29 now feeling that I have not made any progress since I was 23 and I can't get myself to do something about it, much similar to you. I get started sometimes but do not follow through till the end which has now become a behavior.

Recently, after some self assessment and after talking with a close friend about this, I have observed that the things that led to my past success were - time available to commit to a single purpose, absence of any other priorities in life, youth and energy and the biggest one being social approval/appreciation, even if it was on a very basic level (being praised by teachers and friends who were regular people)

In my opinion, if I were to start socializing more in situations where I get to share my interests and knowledge and work with other people interested in the same field, I would start getting feedback again and can learn a thing or two from others at the same time. This would surely revive my interest and keep me motivated to do more, so I can share it with someone.

For us who work professionally, our words of appreciation/praise for others become shallow or emotionless over time and work becomes just work, hence work is rarely a place of motivation for most. (May be things are different at FAANG or fancy startups where people are more driven for excellence)

Another observation I have made about myself is that I have a tendency to day dream grandiose scenarios where I master a technology without anyone's help and build something so cool that the world is going to be in awe of me and I am going to get back to my glory days. This may be true in theory if I were to commit myself to learning or building something and keep making consistent progress but it never happens cause they are just day dreams.

I have a better chance at success if I put myself in a position where people around me are interested in learning and mutual growth. I haven't figured out what would be the right medium to do this yet.

Satoshi Nakamoto will be revealed to be an extraterrestrial info-warrior sent to destroy humanity by tricking us into turning all our carbon fuels into random numbers. This will happen sometime in April.
I too have felt this same feeling, it's normal that everyone experiences this in ebbs and flows in life. Ultimately though, there's hard truths I had to face in order to get through this hump:

1) I tolerate this pain, which is why I am not changing my circumstances.
2) I believe that I myself don't have control over my own happiness/life.

Once you have hit that point where you can't tolerate the pain, make the change. Say to yourself that you don't want to live your life this way, and start doing what you like without caring what others think about you. Hope this helps!

It should be easy enough to compute the "center of mass" (quite efficiently too, by considering a weighted average of component centers of mass recursively) for the objects, rather than something even more naive like the center of the bounding box. The former, being a sensible physical quantity is much more likely to be well-behaved under physical transformations.
The really inexcusable part is they killed off Lite models and jacked up the entry price to where they are.

" he was apparently good at managing the program."

That's one thing a lot of people don't understand. A lot of these monsters aren't just monsters but they are also very capable. Beria was a good manager, so was Himmler who led the Nazi SS. Stalin also was a hard worker and a master bureaucrat.
Unfortunately financial companies act outside of the best practices that make it impossible for the consumer to distinguish.

Out of curiosity, have you done typing tests? I did once with some keyboards I was comparing. For me there was a difference. At least in the moment. It's possible I was just better on one because it was similar to what I had already been using.
Under the heavily populated category of Solutions That Aren't, here's my approach. ^_^

Use ncal because it provides the week numbers and can start weeks on Monday (personal preference). Pipe to sed, fold, and then to Perl. (Perl is awesome.)

ncal -w -3 -y -b -h -M | sed 's/ /*/g' | fold -w 27 |
tail -n 99 | perl -w -e 'use strict;
my (@g1,@g2,@g3,@aAccum)=((),(),(),()); my $tog=1;
sub clearQ{ (@g1,@g2,@g3)=((),(),());}
sub doAccum{ @aAccum=(@g1,@g2,@g3); clearQ();
print @aAccum; @aAccum=(); }
for my $wk(<>){
my $LN=$wk; chomp($LN);
if( length($LN)==0 ){ doAccum(); next;}
if($tog==1){push @g1,$wk;}
elsif($tog==2){push @g2,$wk;}
elsif($tog==3){push @g3,$wk;} $tog++;
if($tog>3){ $tog=1;}
}
doAccum();'
The big difference is that if you send a packet with a spoofed source IP, the reply won't get to you. The phone system allows you to set up a full two-way channel without the receiving party ever needing the correct identifier for the caller.

It was hilarious, but not very accurate. I don't expect accuracy from a film like that, but it's good to keep in mind. Beria was even worse than they depicted. He was a sadistic serial killer and sexual predator.

This reminded me of a tight-packed binary format we used in the trading systems domain almost 20 years ago. Instead of including metadata/field names in each message, it had a central message dictionary that every client/server would first download a copy from. Messages had only type IDs, followed by binary packed data in the correct field order. Because of microsecond latency requirements, we even avoided the serialization/deserialization process by making the memory format of the message and the wire format one and the same. The message class contained the same buffer that you would send/store. The GetInt(fieldID) method of the class simply points to the right place in the buffer and does a cast to int. Application logs contained these messages, rather than plain text. There was a special reader to read logs. Messages were exchanged over raw TCP. They contained their own application layer sequence number so that streams could resume after disconnection.

In that world, lantencies were so low that the response to your order submission would land in your front-end before you've had time to lift your finger off the enter key. I now work with web based systems. On days like this, I miss the old ways.
> by that logic neutron stars should be highly transparent

Neutron stars aren’t uniformly crushed to the limit where they couldn’t interact with photons. That would be the point at which they’d be on the verge of collapsing into a black hole, and photon scattering would be irrelevant.
I understand your comment but I don’t think it makes a difference. I could be wrong of course.
Buckled spring is about as mechanical as it gets though. I really hated those back in the day because of the clangy noise and the heavy resistance.

At the time I thought it was made to appeal to the tastes is mechanical typewriter users who were still very common in those days. I just had a cheap BTC foam-foil one which was really nice actually but did need a full take-apart and clean every year or so. But the touchwas so much lighter than the model Ms at my dad's work.

Ask HN: Drinking Alcohol While Working?
TL;DR: Do you drink alcohol while you work? How does the drinking affect your work?

----------------

Under lockdown last year I tripled my drinking. I'd drink moderately all day, pretty much, which adds up to a lot. "Day drinking", I think they call it.

Was working remotely. Still am.

Didn't really affect my work. I continued to be as productive as I used to be. (I do some coding, some teaching, some investing.)

But I took a total break from alcohol for 2 reasons:

1. a couple of times when I wanted to drive my car out somewhere I couldn't because I was probably over the legal limit (and I never drive with alcohol on my breath).

2. I'm well aware that alcohol in large quantities cannot be good for health.

I've now had six months of complete sobriety. The result: my productivity, my drive, my passion for work have gone down. And no, I don't crave alcohol.

So I'm going to re-start drinking alcohol intermittently and moderately to see if it's what's missing.

My question for HN'ers: please share whether you drink alcohol while working, and how much. How does the drinking affect your work. And please also clarify what kind of work you do (e.g. Coding, People Management, Media Creative, etc.).
The reason that sports pros and movie stars have agents is because there are limited numbers of movies made per year, and a limited number of slots for sports. Additionally, there are a very limited number of "stars", whether movies or sports.

In the tech world, basically, there are an unlimited number of job openings. There are also a lot more great programmers, and this is because there are so many different facets of technology. A security superstar can't be the best in microchip programming or OS programming. A superstar that programs on the IBM AS400 RPG III is different from someone who is an expert in COBOL programming for bank transactions.

Finally, unlike sports or movies, the computer programming world does not have unlimited money for talent. The sports and movie world are driven by consumers, and who is popular with consumers, and which stars make or break a movie, or which pro athlete brings the team to a superbowl or championship. In programming, you are dealing with businesses, who just are not going to pay $30 million per year to a programmer, just because they have an agent working on their bahalf.

Additionally, since the worlds are pretty small, why would a computer security expert want to give up 10% of their salary to someone, when it is they who have the contacts into the different companies who need them?

.

That being said, you can look for someone on craigslist or indeed or reddit/r/forhire and take an advertisement for a salesperson. But, personally, I wouldn't work for less than 20%, as I can get that kind of return other places.

And, now much can a contractor make in a year? $250,000 at the max? Let's say that for argument's sake. So an agent, at your percentage, would make $25,000 per year. Nowhere near enough to live on, so they would need many different independent contractors. I suppose that would be ok, just like there are agencies that handle multiple movie stars or pro sports players.

If I were you, though, I'd try to advertise to get a salesperson to work for you. And when someone calls, you will also have to tell them that they would need to get multiple independent consultants to make it worth their while. Because nobody is going to work for a maximum of $25K per year. If you can even generate that many billable hours in the first place.

But, if you have rare mad skills that you can earn $500,000 per year and you've done it before, well, let me know, I'll help you for 20%.

Is asking for the texted passcode really necessary? Can't they just SS7 hack that part since all SMS is vulnerable to this? Or is it really necessary to just carry the conversation flow forward by asking the victim themselves.
No this is basically an entirely new computer in an old chassis.

I don't know why these types of projects keep using mediocre Intel 11th gen quad cores though. I love old ThinkPads too, but I couldn't justify the expense for something that's already so outdated.

Maybe down the road there will be some affordable off-the-shelf Arm or RISC-V CPUs that would make for a neat drop-in motherboard upgrade for these old machines. Something really, really low power in a big honkin' ThinkPad chassis might have pretty incredible battery life.
Over time I have come to view mock- and stub-heavy tests as next to worthless.

Yep agree 100% I am slowly learning to accept that if I only want the results but don’t want to pay the price (thousands of hours working to accomplish the results) then I really don’t truly want it. You have to pick the struggle you want and the results will be the outcomes of that choice.
Sorry but like most of the 70% the up arrow has "shift" on the left, and "end" on the right.

The closest is the GMK UNIQEK C70, with pagedown on the right... but shift on the left. I might be able to remap FN, and to find a cap with the right slant... but then it's not low profile.

Mother Teresa is an inspiration for me. She wrote "You can do things I can't, I can do things you can't. Together we can do great things". I went to India once to volunteer at her place and my eyes were opened that there are so many things we can do for people. We don't need to be Einsten or somebody super smart/talented to be able to help people around us. We just need to find what sort of things we can see ourselves consistently doing for a long time that can help people around us. It doesn't necessarily need to be a big thing.
Time + Commitment = Improvement

You can improve in a few months what it takes another a few years depending on your circumstance. There are no shortcuts. Find ways to increase the amount of time you can devote to your dreams. This will compound. And if you stay the course, you greatly increase the odds of success, whatever that is. Being satisfied with your accomplishments.

I'm not saying it's easy. Everyone has things outside of their control that demand their time. But a lot of people don't make attempts at changing that circumstance. There are a ton of ways to optimize a bit here and there to gain time that compounds.

Use it wisely.
