>It seems to me that people who don't like crypto are equally as guilty of assigning it to their identity in a religious way

And where did I do that? I've pointed out that the majority of BTC strength lies in the critical mass of people speculating on it increasing in value and attracting more people in when it does, further inflating the bubble. That's why everyone I know online and IRL bought in, the FOMO when they saw the crazy returns others made (by cashing out into fiat of course so they can actually spend their gains).

>People like paying each other with Paypal. Unless they don't, and they prefer Zelle. Unless they don't, and they prefer Venmo (which I think is crypto based now). Unless they don't, and they prefer Monero.

Please, Paypal and crypto payments are not the same. With Paypal you still pay and receive fiat at both ends of the transaction.

Back to my main point, people keep tooting that BTC is a payment method but I have seen no evidence of mass adoption for that uscase in most of the west and the number of users who actually use BTC for (legitimate) payments is minuscule, due to the high transaction fees and low adoption of it as a payment method, compared to the mass of big and small HODLers that's just using it for speculative gains a.k.a. gambling, gains which are turned back into fiat in order to be spent into the economy, further defeating the point that BTC is a viable currency.

The taxman does not, nor the car dealers, nor real estate agents in my area take BTC payments, only EUR. When that will change then I'll grant you that BTC is more than a FOMO driven speculative pyramid scheme.
Biomarker predicts severity of Covid-19 infection early on
Visit their old demo pages from early on (5 years into their existence though, after they had time to work out the kinks) where they had examples of DOI links that supposedly will never break:

https://web.archive.org/web/20050305141724/http://www.doi.or...

Don’t just follow the links as they are on archive.org, because that wraps the links and you get an almost comical series of ultimately unsuccessful redirects (unlike many redirects on archive.org which often ARE successful when not using DOI links).

No, try the DOI links themselves by copy pasting them without the archive.org wrapper. I think you’ll find many of them (most of them?) are not working. This version of the page is from after “the handle system” had been up and rolling for a few years.

To be fair, maybe some browser plug-in is needed?

Notice also how thickly the web site is festooned with copyright, trademark, and registered trademark notices and the like. Feels off to me.
I needed to learn dotnet for my new job, and I use MacOS and Linux when developing. Took a course on dotnet and entity framework, and when it came time to set up the database stuff of course both the tutorial and documentation on the official dotnet framework page showed instructions specifically for Visual Studio. Had to do some googling and reading GitHub issues to find the command line solution.

When the .Net Foundation was announcing that they were going to drop the hotreload support from dotnet watch in favour of supporting it in the Visual Studio editor I was again reminded of how (some parts of) MSFT think that dotnet should still be a fully integrated development platform for Windows, rather than a multi platform, open community and open source project. I guess there might be some internal power struggle there between various business interests.

There are already more Linux VMs on Azure than there are Windows VMs. And if they still insist on making the dotnet experience on Linux and MacOS subpar compared to Windows they will very quickly find that people who develop for these OSs will move towards Java or other languages and frameworks with better support for these operating systems.

I have some news for you: Gold has been both deflationary and inflationary over historical time... because its supply varies based on how much miners can dig out of the ground. That quantity may or may not relate whatsoever to the amount of value the economy created over the same time period. Instead of being at the mercy of a central bank you're at the mercy of the mining industry and how many gold deposits have been found.

When the Spanish brought their stolen Gold back from the Americas it more or less ruined their economy by flooding it with cheap money (tons of Gold chasing too few things of value). A similar crash in Silver happened when the Comstock Lode was found.

If you imagine that a precious metal standard would make the economy more stable you are absolutely wrong and history proves that. Gold is only preferable when the monetary authority has lost so much credibility they can't control the value of the currency anymore. Pegging one's currency to the US dollar is a modern equivalent of that idea. Of course now your entire economy is at the mercy of (US Dollar/Gold/Silver).

If things go really well and you produce 25% more widgets... well congrats, prices across the economy must fall because there is a fixed amount of gold available to circulate or be stored. Of course that's not really possible so the distortions happen in lots of other ways and people inevitably turn to privately issued paper or bartering just to make life possible.

Bitcoin has many of the same problems (inability to adjust money supply to economic activity) but it is slightly better than gold: we know it is deflationary (the supply of new coins decreases over time) so in theory all BT loans can have negative interest rates to account for that (deflation "cancelling out" part of the negative rate).
I think so, I was looking into the fees paid by merchants to accept a card payment on in a physical terminal.
Yes, and some currencies do lose value because the government and economies backing them have lost trust.

The demand for USD comes from people wanting to do business with one of the biggest economies in the world. The demand for Bitcoin comes from people wanting to make money by hoarding Bitcoins.

It could be different, but right now it is not and I'm not sure if Bitcoin (or any other cryptocoin) would survive a transition to become a currency or something else less like a pyramid scheme.

This is hard to do because all the other characteristics of all the circuits would have to be changed, you need different engineers, etc. Over the long run maybe this switch will happen, but the supply chain issues will be gone before anyone with an existing complex product like a car has a chance to start replacing individual ICs with FPGAs
I don't see that necessarily as a negative.

50c FPGAs with 1k LUTs won't directly compete against Xilinx or Altera's flagship offerings (or in many cases even their low-end ones, as you rightly point out) - but it will create a new market for low-cost, low-power semi-complex custom glue logic.
Haha.. Yes it's obvious in hindsight. I think a few factors played into it.

First was an underestimation of the half life of caffeine. It stays in your system for a while, and stacks when you have multiple throughout the day.

Another was my personal sensitivity to caffeine with regards to sleep. I know many people who can't drink coffee at all and others who can drink it as a digestif. I'm somewhere in the middle.

The last is being embedded in a coffee-drinking culture, without personal awareness of the above two points. So I would drink it later than I should with people who didn't (or didn't know they) have a problem drinking it at that time.
to add to that, I absolutely despise any IP related blocks, Since most residential ISPs use Dynamic IPs, you can easily end up being on one of these "IPs" with poor reputation and have to restart your router because cloudflare blocks you.
I believe this is why ethereum was so popular, as it introduced the idea of "Smart contracts". So the transaction is dependent on something occurring in the real world.
Obviously there have been a ton of developments since then with newer crypto currencies, including increased privacy, anonymity, linking to applications, etc.
For instance, I think Chainlink rewards people for hosting datasets (like ML datasets, or waybackmachine) on ipfs, and also inherits the smart contracts from ETH.
Additionally, I think Monero has made developments in smart contracts as well, and the price seems to be more steady, since people actually seem to be utilizing it more for buying things in the real world, like computer services and such.

I have seen people deploy php this way but I'm not aware of anyone who'd do it today.

Locally however it is save, alt-tab, ctrl-r and immediately you see the result. Absolutely no waiting.

These days I rather use Quarkus for this but until Quarkus arrived this was a huge advantage that PHP had over every other language and framework I was aware of.

Also the documentation was fantastic compared to most of the stuff I have had to suffer through on Java, .Net and even React and Angular.

Every thing you may reasonably wonder about was described in a clear, straight forward way and included examples.

> whole gamer subculture is really rude and elitist

As with many things in life, you've not found the right people. I know some high level players (perhaps a level or two below the best) in a niche but well-known game community. They're very welcoming and are happy to play against me repeatedly despite the fact they all crushed me without a sweat. That said, I do think that the industry wide move towards skill based match making has made games far less endearing than they were in the past. It used to be that people could find the server that was right for them, be it competitive or casual, and do what they wanted. Now most big games don't give you the option to play against people outside of your skill range and you're constantly facing people about as good as you. To me, that's pretty boring long term.
Ask HN: Cloud provider accidentally deletes instances
Anyone have an experience with a cloud provider deleting your instances, volumes, resources, etc?

I work for a small org that utilizes a cloud provider (not top 3, but top 10). Yesterday we noticed that all our instances, attached volumes, sec groups, network resources, from our Test and PROD environments had disappeared. After scrambling we found an audit trail, that showed all the deletes were from an SRE working for the provider. Apparently they were doing "cleanup" and somehow our account number became part of that.

We were told we needed to recreate everything from scratch shortly after opening a ticket. Luckily we host our Terraform and config management on-prem, and a few snapshots and volumes they weren't successful in deleting. Still a lot of manual rebuilding as not everything is automated.

Two of us have been working to recover things for many hours. Lower environments will likely take a lot longer.

Just curious if anyone else has had something like this occur. I have a hard time gauging if this because our provider is lacking, of if this stuff occurs in top three as well. Any recourse with the provider? We are small potatoes (probably 100-120 hosted resources) so don't have a lot of institutional weight to use.

The nonchalance coming from the vendor (at least initially) was pretty infuriating. After that it was putting bodies on a zoom call, which were not much help for the most part.
"It is just this" is something we hear very often when it is about user surveillance.

Is there any effort to prevent using web3/blockchain to host ilegal content?
I am not aware of any web online blockchains could prevent being the next host of pedophilic contents, piracy or way to permanently difamate people publicly.

Is anyone aware on how such moral issues can be prevented in the direction the whole web3/blockchain trend is going? Is there any out of the box solution or voting in the network the only current solution?

I know it is a hard topic, this question is mostly regarding how to use technology to prevent part of the warranties it brings us, in a jugdement that often is totally subjective, and even sometimes doesn't have social consensus.

The other open question I see is: how to prevent mobs of people trying to censore´contents they do not want to exist in a decentraized network? this problem is specially important when differences between human morals and values arise, such as in politics and religious believes.

> use PHP over other decent modern languages and ecosystems

There's not a lot that is comparable to the PHP ecosystem when it comes to bespoke web-based e-commerce, or anything to do with bespoke customer or content management.

If you're trying to integrate with some weird 3rd party API, chances are there's going to be something written in PHP, or you can easily pay someone to do it for you.

Not only this, but there are agencies providing long-term support for parts of this ecosystem.

Other languages with strong ecosystems in this area would be Java, or Ruby, I think. I like Java for the same reason, and would probably like Rails. Anything that has "batteries included" is good to me.
Self-Hosted vs. Managed Kubernetes
Politics wasn't fundamental to most people in identity sense for most of humanity's history, for the simple reason that most of them didn't have any political power to speak of, even notionally. Which, to be fair, is still true - but we've got better at pretending otherwise.
You’d be surprised how many boring/conventional influencers there are out there with huge followings. People who literally are just doing up a house or something incredibly benign.
How does this solve the rudeness angle? I’ve read everything and I can only see that they think their UI is pleasant enough that people won’t mind. Which may be true, but that’s not a direct solution.

Compare the readability and editability of:

If I got the syntax wrong, just focus on the first part then, nature.com versus 10.1083. One is more readable than the other.

Do you have enough domain knowledge to be judging the incentives ? What do you think would be a fair amount ?
Cinny is pretty, but with no link previews, no video embeds, no custom emoticons, and very limited user options, you'd be quite hard pressed to get people to leave their current Matrix clients for it, let alone Discord.
The divergence is not as big as in the US then, but your incentives are still not perfectly aligned.

If you want to outsource your health decisions to someone else, who may be more knowledgeable in general, but may be less knowledgeable on any specific matter you dive into, and whose incentives are only generally aligned with yours - by all means do.

I don't, and this has paid great dividends for me so far. People who are capable of reading and understanding research (not all are), and have the ability to reach far out to well informed people and consult with them (not all can), are also likely to be in this situation -- and those people potentially lose dearly for not doing so.

The bigger and more interesting point is how to navigate the world of research where everyone is convinced their way is the only right way. I paragraph-TOCs, but my reviewer insists on including it. This article is an example.

We need a better way to establish consensus for things that can be standardised and we need more taste and tolerance for things where opinions can differ.
