What do the pentagon UFO releases have to do with war with China? You say it's completely related, would you elaborate?

And a peasant revolt in China? That's a big statement and I'd like to know more about your reasoning.
It turns out in history lots of people committed crimes where the evil party was not the criminal, but the state deeming their actions criminal.

I remember reports telling Dogecoin was one of the safest cryptos to invest in, as it doesn't promise anything, accepts itself existing only for a meme, and all the reports were underlying its honesty, telling "it is what it is". Then it skyrocketed and became a purely speculative one, of course it's not Dogecoin's fault but more like Elon's.
Of all the things you could do with a blockchain, it's probably the worst.

The legitimacy of voting outcomes depends critically on everyone understanding and in principle being able to verify how it works, and it being resistant to tampering at scale.

Very few people would understand a blockchain based voting mechanism well enough to really verify, and any implementation error could give an attacker complete and untraceable control over the results.

Does no one understand the situation with nukes? All out war with China isn't even possible. Any major war between nuclear powers would inevitably lead to nuclear war. It will never happen. It can't. If it does then chip production is moot because we will be living on a dead planet.
Just because the future is uncertain doesn't mean you can't do research to make a reasonable forecast. Typically speculation is specifically buying/selling without any reasoning other than 'I think someone will pay higher for this in the future'.

Many assets don't even have to appreciate. A car is an asset if I have paid it off. I don't expect someone to pay me more than I paid for it unless it is a collectible or I live in the year 2021.

On your last sentence, I don't know who thought real estate was 100%, because nothing is 100% safe as a store of value, but I guess they paid for it in the end.
> Any application that could be done on a blockchain could be better done on a centralized database. Except crime.

In a weird way, this quote is a good explanation of why cryptos exist: they give the possibility of creating systems evading state controls.

Crime is a relative thing: moving money outside of certain countries is prohibited, in others it's owning property for certain category of people.
>I have gone from IDEs to vim + language-servers.

I have a love hate relationship with vim. It's super fast and efficient to edit huge quantities of text, but as a tool to really understand a code base? IDEs reign supreme. This is coming from someone who steadfastly refused to use an ide until his last year of college, and then switched, being able to see call hierarchies, having smart completion, etc made my life much easier. I still fall back to the term and vim if I need something quick and dirty.
Your other option is the back button.
How does this work in terms of Postgres connections/pools? My understanding of this is that you'd do something like `SET SESSION user_id TO 123;` which sets the variable `user_id` for that connection. Subsequent queries could use that variable to do row-based authorization but they need to use the same connection. Is this how Postgrest does it? (guaranteeing the same connection for the lifecycle of a request that is)
When I started using it 3 years ago I was concerned about using Kotlin (a language developed mostly by one company) or choosing a framework with a small community. After writing hundreds of audiovisual programs in Java, Kotlin, C++, JavaScript and some other languages I can say OPENRNDR provides the most frictionless creative experience for me. I enjoy it every day. Still, to appreciate what it has to offer I think it's better to start with Processing or p5.js and write growing programs until they become hard to follow. Then it makes sense to have a good IDE and a beautiful API.

Haven’t been on the website for one minute and you already shoved a popup in my face asking for my email. The options are “submit” or “No, I'm not interested in joining a fun community or a chance to win an awesome VPN”.

If you’re going to be as annoying and manipulative as every other scammy website out there, why should we trust you? My reaction was to close the page. Considering you’re posting this to HN, I doubt I’m in the minority.
this is interesting and out-of-the-box, so I will try an "add"

people are not entirely the same individual through their life cycle. Adolescent/young adult patterns are driven largely by a desire to break out of the mold of the past, while parenting/administration is driven by stability, perhaps efficiency or perhaps grandeur.. creative drive is more likely attributed to the adolescent side, while overwhelming strength is likely built on the stability side.

Political leanings change with external circumstances, like a group responding to an external threat; and internal circumstances, a person or group's worldviews. The WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic) may believe in the individual drive, but raising children and running a business are group activities. The values of the group, in most places, in most times, are going to drive political choices.

Summary? a voter will change over time, secondly their social circumstances drive that change as much or more as the individual.
Honestly, I think _that's_ the thing: It's not really about making it optimized for "either" side, it's about "bringing the sides together". People from the technical side always wring their hands and moan to the heavens about how Javascript/CSS is so terrible and wonder how it came to be the juggernaut it is. The truth, I think, is that it did better than any other language/community in creating a safe space for creative folks to cross the gap to the technical side and visa versa. It's that "maelstrom in the middle" that truly wonderful things come from.
ECS and EKS have configurable functionality to blackhole IMDS. You can also configure IMDSv2 to have a hop limit of 1, preventing any bridged networks (such as containers) from accessing IMDS.
I would tend to agree for most languages I have touched (Python, C, ...) but I have mostly worked in medium codebases.

Do people think it is still the case for large code bases and Java? I find the ability to quickly jump to definition in the IDE a huge help when on boarding into a new codebase.

This sounds like the difference between basic understanding of the idea, and mastery. Mastery would always take a lot of repetition and diverse problem-solving -- true even for algebra.

Basic understanding is a lower bar, and I'd suggest that most students leave Algebra 1 with just basic understanding. Hopefully a little better than Dragon Box.
You'd think a party with such an iron grip on its citizens would show s little more self assurance. Confident people can take a joke.

It's probably better to get the business point across.

Because it better correlates with building a business which is what venture capital is for.

And it might be good practice here in the sense that selling your business to VC's is analogous to the key task of selling your business's product to customers. Good luck.
NFTs Frequently Asked Questions
Asians in the past who came over 100 years ago and have lived in the US did not have selective immigration rules based on education. Their prodigy are doing better than blacks who have also lived here for generations.

Some Asians were even put in concentration camps 80 years ago and were heavily discriminated against.

I understand the argument about Hispanics since many are new immigrants though.
Could it be that "radical right" is the only option they have to vote for that is not explicitly "more of the same" or "much worse and harder" policy wise?

Compounded by the labeling issue where anyone not "dominant party" or "socialist left" is "radical right" in the same way people used to call those they didn't like Satan worshipers.

"Robots" is just clickbait. Suggested headline for someone selling to these outlets: "Sexbot usage increases support for Price Controls" ... Trust me. By the time it gets through editing, it will be timely.
It is generally a smart idea to get consent first, especially if the imagery is intended for monetized use, such as ads and posters, especially since such use can result in law suits if done without consent. The one thing that might outweigh this general rule, is if something newsworthy happens, or something that would be deemed important for the public to see, such as a crime. Where I'm from (Norway) the general rule is that a person cannot take up the focus or majority of an image without prior consent. This makes it possible to video or take pictures of public events without needing to ask everyone on the stadium, for instance.

Not being "100% tech bro" is usually a positive. Assuming your technical skills are where you say they are, I would focus on your communication and making sure you are able to clearly verbalize your thought processes in an interview. Having just this post to go by, I notice you don't use proper grammar or punctuation when you write. You also use many run-on sentences, as if you're just spewing out what is in your head before formulating it clearly. But I know HN is not a formal place, so maybe this is not how you write in professional communication. Do you feel that you can confidently express what is in your head when faced with a question during an interview? Do you put effort into writing professionally when communicating with potential employers through email?

Another thing that stuck out at me in your post: being able to "confuse" experienced devs with things is not usually a good thing. As a senior, you need to be able to communicate and explain concepts clearly in a way that is _not_ confusing to people.

Finally, a question: since you are applying for a senior position, I am guessing you already have a few years of junior and mid-level jobs under your belt. Is that a correct assumption?

All of Stellar, Hedera and Algorand have a big centralization problem, they have solved nothing. Stellar and Ripple aren't even proper cryptocurrencies unless you allow for a very lenient definition.

> the know-it-all condescension really rubs me the wrong way - do they clone these people or what? Where do they all come from?

In my experience the people being very optimistic about crypto real world use cases usually have their first exposure with economic theory from within the crypto sphere and lack the real world experience to know some actual pain points of the current economic system. For example the oracle problem is severly glossed over by smart contract approaches, which mostly try to solve trust issues that are essentially solved issues in the real world.
> You inevitably run into these issues with random third party dependencies on other platforms, too, but it's further from the norm, so you end up with awful bespoke toolchains that contain instructions like "download Egub35.3.zip and extract it to C:\Users\brian\libs."

On Windows, there is a very clear solution: for any 3rd party you need outside the Windows SDK, you bundle it into the MSI installer you distribute. When installing the MSI, it can check if this particular 3rd party is already installed, and avoid it.

I don't think I've seen anything like the manual instructions you discuss for more than 10 years. Even OSS projects typically ship with simple installers today.

I believe, but have not tried it personally so may well be wrong, that similar mechanisms are common on MacOS with App packages.
Can you describe your anticipated role of decentralization under China or US regulation? Do you simply expect and plan a parallel black market?

If the rest of the btc cannot be recovered, likely when he is released from jail or custody, assuming he is even convicted, he will still have it. If he is not extradited and charged in the US, then he is pretty much guaranteed to exit with his fortune intact. Canada has pretty lenient justice system.
I wonder how much of this is due to Windows font rendering currently being so focused on ClearType. At 4K and 27", you don't need subpixel rendering anymore, because your regular pixels are small enough, but you do still need grayscale antialiasing. As far as I can tell, Windows no longer supports grayscale font smoothing — it's subpixel or nothing, and "nothing" still looks bad except for bitmap fonts being displayed at exactly the size they were designed for.
It does not for me. If the current command line is not completely empty it will not do anything (both with bash and fish). So if the terminal does not close after pressing Ctrl+D I will know that something is wrong and check more carefully.

> Same, most of the tech people I know have no aversion to these things, plus Chrome, Facebook, stock Android or other Google products.

I have an aversion to all of the above. But when it comes to Android, it feels like the options are very limited. Either use iOS and only be able to use the device the way they want you to (for a steep price), or use Android and be tracked like crazy. As for Google products, YouTube is lacking competitors, I use YouTube vanced and NewPipe, but those aren't available everywhere.

It seems like the options really suck right now if you want to participate in the modern world with even some of the comforts that are available.

> So banning a book from a school library does seem to be a fairly strong suppression of ideas. Libraries have usually been the place where you go to find ideas outside the safe circle of whatever is permitted by your (usually insipid) curriculum.

Baloney. Yes, I'm sure we can find some 1 in a 1,000,000 exceptional case of some bright student from a marginalized community who just couldn't obtain some obscure reference book in their high school library because conservatives had "banned it" (i.e. chosen not to include it in their limited selection due to content concerns). However, I find it hard to believe that 99.9999% of students, who probably haven't even used their public school's library more than a few times in their whole life, would be absolutely unable to obtain anything they could possibly want, for the price they already spend in a week on video games or music.

Reminds me of that straw man example used to demand ID-less voting for EVERYONE - cherry picking that obscure case of the 87 year old guy who was born in a rural bayou of some southern swamp state, and who had no birth certificate and had never registered to vote or learned to drive or paid any utilities or taxes in the last 8 decades, and who now had trouble getting an official ID at the local DMV in another state he'd moved to recently.

Come on, man. Examples like this apply to like 0.001% of the population, and instead of spending tens of millions of dollars and years fighting for insanely insecure voting rules, the left could, you know, just spend that time and money helping the tiny minority of folks who might have this actual problem.

Likewise, I have never ever heard of any adult using a public school library (e.g. high school or elementary school) to obtain books or other media for themselves. To be honest, in the US in 2021, as a "child free" middle aged male, I'd be hesitant to even go into a public high school as it seems my demographic is not exactly welcome around children, even those whose education, meals, etc. I'm forced to increasingly subsidize each year. But God forbid I have any say in what materials these children are forced to be indoctrinated with in public schools, which they are forced to attend, by the state.

OTOH, I've seen 0 instances of conservatives demanding that books be censored from EVERYONE at the source (i.e. publishers, sellers, retail outlets, etc.) whereas there are dozens of instances of the left mob going after these entities in an attempt to keep the books out of the market itself.
IMO java for gamedev is pretty much un-viable due to the lack of control over memory layout. You clearly can make it work (see Minecraft), but it just sounds painful, and there isn't a clear benefit.

The UX is for the user. Given that this takes vital information away from the viewer, it emphasizes that viewers are not the main users of YouTube. Rather, this change is for the benefit of the companies that advertise on YouTube since skipping videos (which would happen if someone saw that it was a low quality video via negative response) would mean fewer opportunities to show ads.
It's beneficial for consumers because businesses can charge less for their products since they're don't have to account for as much shrinkage. I know at least one business that charges substantially less for crypto transactions because of this.

There seems to be three guys (at least) and it doesn't look like it competes with crypto as much as it is a product for financial firms.
For a crypto-skeptic, this is actually a stunning admission:

"Any application that could be done on a blockchain could be better done on a centralized database. Except crime."

If you acknowledge this, then you acknowledge that crypto has a unique value proposition of being able to shield ones financial transactions. From there, you have to pull in a lot of assumptions that the only time this will be valuable is crime, not to mention what seems to be an assumption that all crime is morally determined to be crime.
