Just being completely random imagine the internet is now the multiverse. And everything publish on it is an NFT, posts, videos, images, comments. Like the current internet but everything has a value. Creating a comment on StackOverflow could get you paid instead of just reputation

The NFT concept seems stupid at first, and a 60 million NFT is definitely stupid.
But imagine Youtube is the metaverse where videos, or NFTs, are published, and the owners will forever receive royalties from Youtube advert/membership profits. People can upload similar videos, but then there is, for example, music rights violation arbitrated by the site that some or all the profits of the video revert back to the original creator. And generally all free for the consumer. By no means perfect

Mining could be people caching, and serving NFT content, through which they could get paid, and preserve internet. Partially replacing web hosting, and preventing censorship.
Using your neighbors pcs to speed up video encoding

URLs can be NFTs, and have rules.
If a site is referencing a URL and is profiting, a part should go to the URL owner, but if the URL is clicked then a part goes to the site that referenced it

You might say that people don't like these new concepts, or mining is bad for the environment, but right now we can make them what we want them to be. The internet will evolve somewhere and if we don't think about it, someone else will and we won't like the result!

Over a decade ago there were articles in there which were so obviously terrible tuat even a freshman could refute it. Sadly I can only vaguely recall a few curves from the cover and that it was shockingly bad.
What's wrong with that? Read it with skepticism, just like you read the corporate outlets pushing propaganda on behalf of the USA with skepticism. Hopefully you'll find some clashing ideas/narratives. There is a lot of good content on Russia Today e.g. Chris Hedges' show.

China is a genocidal fascist regime that's suppressed the virus through the most draconian, totalitarian system of control and surveillance that's ever existed in history. If becoming more like China is part of the cure, I'd rather have the disease.
It depends a lot on what you're working on. If you are building a front end with PHP as your templating language, then yes, the ability to instantly see your changes is huge. In my experience, when working on back end, the difference isn't that significant because you really want to be using unit tests anyway, not constantly interacting with the front end to test your work. In those back end cases, having a strong type system makes a huge difference.

I'm working on a project that has a legacy PHP code base and a new JVM code base. What kind of naturally happened is that we end up doing most of our front end work in PHP and all of our new backend work on the JVM.
I think the #1 sci-fi book that everyone should read is We Are Legion by Dennis E. Taylor.
If by "kinds" you mean abstract classes, yeah. I just checked, there's no special handling for those since requesting them from the container makes no sense. I suppose a constructor could depend on an abstract type and expect an actual implementation, though. I haven't thought about that use case actually, but it's possible to configure a substitute for this case. Other IoC containers may handle this one better, since you may want to have different implementations depending on the current scope.

If you mean classes with private constructors, those are technically illegal. According to the PHP manual, constructors must be declared public. The fact that private constructors work at all should be considered an implementation detail.

Breakage occurs when something is said to be a class, yet isn't a class but still appears in the parameter list of a constructor. The container would instantiate a ReflectionClass of whatever is being requested and pass that around. At some point it'll call newInstanceArgs either with configuration-provided arguments or with auto-wired dependencies. The first case could still work, but foregoes auto-wiring.

It goes back to the iPod days.

Apple used to buy up the flash memory in advance. Leaving competitors to pay more for smaller yield or inferior quality.

It doesn't always work. Apple once invested a huge amount in making sapphire glass for their watches. I can't remember the company name but they failed completely at delivering to Apples required spec and the deal was scrapped (leaving the supplier to face massive debts).
Car washes are low maintenance, so it's an easy way to make a little cashflow whipe primarily owning the land for landbanking purposes. With the land freed up for something more productive, other businesses will be set up which are higher effort but higher returns.

Basically car washes are the slightly-harder version of land banking, but there is still enough value in the land that if the land was put up for sale, some other business would purchase it and utilise the land better.

If the car wash owner wanted to maximize returns they could set up a more profitable business today, sure. It's just more effort than they can be bothered with.
That's what I have been starting to figure, but while I can clean the bottom tray easily enough, there tends to be a build up of 'stuck-on' detritus in amongst the elements and other places that aren't really possible to clean without taking the whole thing apart.
Ask HN: Nestjs 2021, what do you guys think?
Enterprise and startups are mostly using C# and Java. Some are using python (DRF) for their core, however Node are mostly used for small services and not as a main choice.

With the latest post about Remix (and all stuff that has been happening in JS/TS world), I think Nestjs is also a solid choice on building scalable applications as a core of a startup. For the past few years it has been gaining tractions and many sponsors, going to the right direction as well.

Has anyone ever used NestJS for their side project that went off? What are the challenges that you get?

I'm trying it out for my next project
Are you sure about Java? http://titanium.cs.berkeley.edu/doc/java-langspec-1.0/ talked about interfaces in 1996 and I don’t remember any version that didn’t have them.
Variants will continue to to be generated as SARS-CoV-2 is almost certainly endemic. We should be focusing on developing and testing therapeutics and treatment protocols to help as many people as possible, rather than focusing so heavily on vaccinations.
UK has already red listed SA because of this. Probably means it’s a worry.
If interest rates go up, homeowners are instantly underwater on their mortgages.

Purchase cost on housing is very, very tightly correlated with the interest rates, because shoppers' budgets are determined by their monthly payments, not by the total cost of the house.

When interest rates go up, potential buyers can't afford to borrow as much money, and prices have to fall.
This. Currency speculation has been called currency speculation for decades, and yet in case for crypto (much riskier, less protected) it is somehow called investment.

As far as I can see, we don't have any idea as yet how well current vaccines will work against this new variant, although there is reason to suspect they could be less effective.
>In New Zealand you will not be able to work (remote or not) if you don't get the vaccine.

>Is that similar to the k-12 "mandate"?

Yes. In the US, you largely can't attend k-12 (remote or not) without proof of all your vaccinations either. Ironically, those required vaccines don't include COVID yet. Many jobs also require proof of non-covid vaccinations. If you aren't vaccinated for something, you put those around you at a higher risk for it -- even if they are vaccinated. COVID isn't a special case here.
Thanks to nix.dev, I can run some commands and get a feel for what nix is in a single night rather than wading through the documentation. Apart from how to use nix, I see the need for resources on what problems it solves and how it solves it.

Are there any resources on taking a production example of issues we face on a daily basis and solve it with Nix and explain in a way without someone has to actually learn all of Nix in the first place ?
The MI25 line predates when I joined AMD, so I don't know much about it. Were they for sale to the general public?

It's not very special from a historical perspective. It appears to be very similar to HCoV-OC43.

I haven’t looked for a TV in a long time. However Amazon frequently is not the cheapest place vs how things were a decade ago.
> Seems like you are just redefining middle class.

No, the people trying to prevent working-class solidarity that sold the idea that a vague upper-income segment of the proletariat with no clear or coherent definition, and none of the type of differentiation in fundamental relation to the economy that defines an economic class, are the “middle class” in capitalism rather than the classical definition in which that is the petit bourgeoisie were the redefiners.

It was called “computer class” but most of it was touch typing (you had to type with a cardboard box over your hands).
also - they aren't really that great I hate to say. after a couple decades of using them I still get the firmware confused by excessive modifier usage and have to jam on all the keys to get it back again (spend a while with a support engineer trying to make it reproducible. they did try, that was something)

the keys don't actually last all that long. they will sell you a new flex/key assembly for the left or the right side though - which is nice...oh yeah, and the function keys stop working pretty quick if you actually use them.

but its so much more comfortable and speedy
ML Engineer: Why does inference for this model take 0.9s per-call?!

Data scientist: I have no idea, inferences take 0.1s on average in my environment?

I jest but I've also lived this experience with data scientists developing an algorithm on Windows with one set of wheels, and the same code being deployed to Linux with a different set of binaries and the whole thing running 10x slower. We fixed it, but it was an unnecessary headache.
I agree that I've boiled it down a bit too much and so I should also add that beyond patriotism the CCP have actually had a positive impact on the material conditions of the rural people of China, as well as engaging in extensive modernization -- compare Shanghai's Pudong district between now and 20 years ago and it's night and day.
I went from a mid-six figure salary to basically zero because I wanted to do a startup. Unequivocally worth it.
Banks don’t plan to hold that mortgage very long and so aren’t concerned about interest rate risk. They quickly flip it to the secondary market, which is backstopped by Fannie Mae, who can afford to overpay.

Why would they do that when it's not certain that the vaccine will work against the virus. I would suspect such news promoting hesitancy and people waiting a while longer.
Exactly right. But I wouldn't be sure those who agreed to the new coalition agreement understand any of this. Germany's legislature is hopelessly clueless when it comes to tech stuff (and other matters).

It also appears to me that even many who do understand the danger aren't thinking their stance through properly. We live in a data world now more than ever. Data is power, data can be used as a weapon. I'm completely against mass surveillance, the same way I'm against war. At the same time, if the EU forbids any data collection in that regard, even by private companies, then the ones producing and controlling this data will be the likes of the US and China without doubt. Already facial recognition is used in machine learning, to auto-verify IDs, to catch criminals on the run, and for all sorts of other purposes. This is part of a much larger problem. We're under surveillance not just by cameras but microphones in devices all over, satellites, the various sensors in our phones, digital payment, social media activity, and so forth. Heck, most EU citizens have "smart" meters monitoring their electricity use now, which have been found make the leaking of all sorts of private information possible. The internet makes it all possible and in all cases I know about governments have not been proactive in legislation making. A blanket ban seems like an absolutely helpless and populist "solution" to the problem.

So you all must think I ma some anti-vaxxer with all these downvotes. Well, I am not.

If you are not a mental coward then debate me on the logic and the studies that back this up. The vaccines help, just as much as the flu vaccine does, and even vaccinated people (flu and covid) die from the virus.

Vaccines are great but you need to take some responsibility for yourself.

The advantage of the world-computer is that everybody agrees with your results.

There are some problem domains, like advertising, where giving every person their own reality increases net wealth. There are other problem domains, like money, where giving every person their own reality makes them utterly useless. Ethereum expands computation to problem domains where it's critical that everybody gets the same answer.

Everything you just wrote applies equally well to traditional mass media.
Yes... and no.

There is selection pressure on the virus to avoid severe symptoms, because hosts that are up and being sociable are better vectors for the virus than hosts that are in bed or hooked up to tubes in hospital.

However, there is also selection pressure for the virus to infect cells more efficiently and reproduce in greater quantities. These traits tend to correlate with the virus being more dangerous to the host.

The way the virus transmits before the host becomes symptomatic is quite an effective strategy for the virus, and means the selection pressure for the virus to not cause symptoms is less than it otherwise would be.

> Hacker news has a rule about not editorializing headlines, they have to be posted as they are on the linked site.

I added some small editorialising to a headline I posted a few hours ago, and it wasn't removed... But changed into different, and IMO worse, editorialising: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29342306 went from "Is the new 16-inch MacBook Pro a pro-only machine? (+Video)", where the addition in parentheses was meant to indicate "Also includes video", to "Is the new 16-inch MacBook Pro a pro-only machine? [video]", which to me seems to imply it's only a video clip.

But Idunno, maybe the latter idiom is usually read in the sense I meant on here.
