Marijuana was like a barely existing Spanish slang promoted at the beginning of cannabis being illegal in the first half of the 20th century to make cannabis seem more foreign and worthy of a ban.

It's definitely suspicious at least. If you really want you can view it as more cynically exploiting existing prejudice than prejudiced in and of itself, but I am not sure that is much of an exoneration.
I think you misunderstand. The answer is most likely

3. A consortium of permissioned parties. I'm assuming at least the 3 major banks and some if not all of the 70 companies.

This is similar to Diem (aka Facebook Libra). PoA (Proof-of-Authority) as opposed to PoW or PoS.

The point is that the parties keep each other in check, and collectively have some level of fault tolerance. At the scale of a national economy, it's desirable to not have a single point of failure on an institutional level.

If you think "Signed Git+Raft/Paxos", that's pretty close.

I'm curious if they'll allow some level of unpermissioned access to the chain and/or for individuals to manage their own keys. The pessimist in my thinks no, but one can dream.
It's not just NAT, you may also need split DNS, and it's a constant drag on everything because you keep needing to map between two sets of addresses. And it gets way harder when you have multiple or large companies involved, because you do start running out of RFC1918 space.

It's particularly silly because none of that is necessary at all. v6 means that each side has unique prefixes and you don't need to do any of the above. Even if you need to connect to someone without v6, all you need to do is NAT each partner's RFC1918 space into 64:ff9b:1:N::/96, with a different N for each partner. Then they're all accessible in a single unified address space.
Do you have more details about software?
Yes, optional is fine.
Isn't the log factor only in the alphabet size?
Who said they don’t enjoy it?
It's not that simple. The components of a chip go through something like 40-50 countries, and include tens of thousands of suppliers. Involved in this are some of the most sophisticated technologies known to man.

To centralize all of this in one country is most likely impossible. It's not even a matter of throwing money at it. $100 billion won't get you there.
The reason yields are low has nothing to do with the denomination of the currency but with the macro economy. Like gravity you can't fight it.

I hope it doesn't turn out that you are your friend's potential cofounder, but he decides to take his venture solo and becomes a huge success without you.
I'm in the computer vision space and have looked into the effect of color spaces and encodings.

People had basically exactly the epiphany you described. For example, there are several color models which try to be more lighting-invariant or (racially) color blind (this is a very similar problem, humans are all more or less "orange" hue-wise due to melanin's spectrum). TSL is one such space, there are others.

The characters weren't just poor, they were in crippling debt or desperately needed money for other pressing reasons.
> From Bitcoin, to Ethereum, to Uniswap, there is a strong development of the early ideas and technology.

To do what useful thing, that isn't crime?

> From what I can tell massive segments of finance are just money games. This is a form of that, which is a real and tremendous market.

For what, except speculation and crime? What application? It's been twelve years. Crypto is almost as old as the smartphone.

> A natural progression that people who say “high frequency trading provides no value” or “banks shouldn’t be allowed to deal in derivatives” will hate.

Derivatives have obvious economic value. I can go into a room and write an economic model for them and it will agree with everyone else's because there's an objective theory that can be applied to get answers (and I have successfully done this in the past).

Any economic model for the value of cryptocurrency gives it a zero value.

More, crypto people don't have any competing valuation model or theory or explanation or anything. The values for all these coins simply come from nowhere.

> It seems nonsensical, until you go learn what all these quants are getting paid millions per year to do for hedge funds and you think to yourself “oh, it’s a similar thing. There is demand for this.”

You are wrong. I did this for a living for years.

All you are doing is adding the present value of future cash flows together to get the value. The tricky part is dealing with volatility, for which there's an "arbitrage-free" (no magic cash) model called Black-Scholes - and then there are a zillion details.

But cryptocurrencies _have no cash flows._ No cryptocoin produces or destroys fiat currency. The _only_ way you make $1 out of your crypto is if some Greater Fool buys your cryptocoin for more than you paid for it.

Eventually, there won't be a Greater Fool, then everyone will be left with a crappy and expensive payment system with huge transaction costs and nothing else. Everyone will rush for the doors, but there's no liquidation value and no fundamental value and no market makers.
Is there a storage controller like a SAN that can do provisioned NVMe?

Something like you insert a RPI into a backplane, and it auto-provisions some storage and makes it available to the RPI, in addition to providing power/ethernet.
I get your point, but do you realize your clothes are made in china? Sometimes with cotton from Brazil, styled in America on even another country?
It's what happened with my family. In 2019, we fostered my gf's sisters' kids in addition to our own 2. My gf was forced to stop working because there were no daycare slots available for the toddler, and then when COVID hit, we weren't about to send the kids to any of the daycares we could afford because of how crowded they all were.

Now it's a year and a half after the first big panic, half of the daycares are shut down, and the rest of them are overcrowded. Those who were left without jobs at daycares either took unemployment or were able to find better paying jobs (because literally nothing pays worse than a daycare teacher's salary... even in a Dallas suburb the starting pay was $8.35 - $10 an hour at most daycares). Raising prices would force a lot of kids out of daycare, so most daycare owners would rather run understaffed facilities than pay their people a fair wage.

The entire childcare system is convoluted and broken from top to bottom, and it's usually the mothers who are expected to put their careers on hold when there's an issue. In our case, it made sense because I make about 4x what my gf does and she's pursuing a degree. For many others, it's probably a serious drag on the entire family.
The books being on the school library or on classroom shelves connotes that the educational custodians of our children, who have literal and legal responsibility for their safety and well being on multiple levels, have approved them. Not so much to promote every idea they contain, but at least that they express things in a way that is psychologically appropriate for kids at their level of development.

What kinds of ideas cross this line of appropriateness you or I may disagree on, but the point is that it exists in a school setting, which the article seems to pretty much miss altogether.
I'd argue that git is a distributed blockchain that has been pretty impactful, it just doesn't use proof of work for validation.

Why use screen when tmux, an improved version, exists?
Holding the coins is one thing, transferring is another. I just transferred my bitcoin out of my paper wallets. I can promise you there is absolutely no way for a non-technical person to do this safely. What are they going to do? Visit some random website to sweep their wallets and hope their private keys are not stolen (which they will be)?

I haven't used a hardware wallet - I suspect they solve the transferring problem. But what's the risk my hardware wallet still works a year from now? 10 years from now?

I decided trusting Coinbase in 2021 is the most reasonable option for the amount I have. (Different calculus back in 2016). I admit I don't know what I'd do with 8-figure balances though.
Yeah to be honest with you, I don’t believe much at all in this talk about “real world” integrations. If you’re interested please check out a couple other comments I made on this thread that touch on that. My opinions are developing as I go.
Make what up, The Tesla link? I just asked the question, I have no info either way, notice I said "Wonder if".
I looked through all comments mentioning Postman in the last month and all several pages of the last year.

I can't see many conversations, even less dislike. Some users mind the price and switch to Insomnia or Portman. Some mention Postman is bloated. Some doubts if the company valuation is justified (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28223553) but that's the same for many companies announcing a billion dollar valuation.

My first thought was Hermes, since he passed messages, defined scope, and was an important figure in alchemy. Alchemy, with its pseudo-scientific approach, its reliance on vaguely understood concepts, indecipherable symbols, and unreproducable results, best describes my relationship to programming.
No.

There is precedent in various US states and a handful of countries.

Cost benefit analysis of what is actually happening in these places is a key motivator for the continued wave of legalization around the world.

You can try subjective benchmarks. These ARM SBC's are as powerful as workstations from the 90's, so try to use them with as demanding software as what was run on a workstation from the 90's.

ACES (AP0) is an archive format for when you want to be absolutely sure you’re not clipping any colours. As a working space it’s terrible and AP1 should be preferred, either as ACEScg or ACEScc
People often forget the 3-2-1 rule should also apply to the secrets you use to encrypt/store your backups. If you can't decrypt it, it isn't a backup.

I use a crazy long passphrase to encrypt my backups, but should I forget - it is also printed on archival paper inside a sealed envelope in a friends safe deposit box (I also have a copy of his backup passphrase for mutually assured destruction :)).

Also, every once in a while run a fire drill and actually restore something from each of your backups. This is when you find out the rsync job has been stuck for the last 80 days.
TL;DR 3-2-1:

3 backups

2 different media types

1 off-site
Yeah, I see this happening a lot as well. A prime example is Spotify. Their app is done. It has all the features it needs. Instead of just focusing on making those features work more reliably, they seem intent on doing a big UI redesign every few months, adding bloat to the app and making it more frustrating to use. It’s really rare to find companies that just build a thing and stop adding features once the core functionality is done.
Nope. Apportable went the other way, compiling Objective-C on Android, and linking against the Android NDK. They did have a tool for automagically converting .jar files into .frameworks (that ultimately just linked against JNI) so you could code against the Android SDK (or 3rd-party Java libraries) in Objective-C as well[0], but J2ObjC translates Java primitives and standard library classes into their corresponding Objective-C equivalents, eg java.lang.String -> NSString (although Apportable did do a few of those as well for better interoperability).

[0] There was this grand idea to make Objective-C the language for mobile development, with an "Apportable NDK" on every platform (but iOS). It wasn't that far-fetched. The NDK was terrible at the time, and Apportable's was faster, less crashy (free couldn't call malloc in low memory situations, for instance). And then Apple released Swift. And then Google came along.
Drastically Faster Bundling in React Native
The interesting one was the NWS bulletins as well. I keep a weather radio, with battery backup and tuned to my county and with just emergent alerts to audibly alarm set on my nightstand.

It’s worked for…I dunno, a decade maybe. The settings are saved on a small SoC peristent memory chip so even if the battery dies I don’t have to set it back up.

Why mention this. Because a tool like this CANT depend on internet connectivity. Usually when it’s needed most basic power and even internet are either not available or intermittent at best. I live in a hurricane prone area that also by proxy is sometimes succeptible to weak tornadoes. I would NEVER trust that to a “smart device”. It’s just not necessary.

And that’s beyond things like smart bulbs kinda baffle me. I get it, but I would never have one myself. Similar to things like yard services.

I do have some smart things and n my home, like a Honeywell thermostat or even some wifi mouse traps that generally save uneeddd crawl space trips. But other things like bulbs, fridges, even alexas I don’t get. But also understand I’m not a primary market for that either

"If Apple discovers activity consistent with a state-sponsored attack"

I am really interested in understanding more about a "state-sponsored attack" as someone who works in Ops and has experience in CyberSec. All these years working in the industry and I had no idea you could identify an "attack" that easily.
And if you get in a car accident and don't check your email for a few days? It's extremely hard to understand how a company with their resources is able to send a notification but not able to shut it off if that's what the customer wants.
To be fair, they are often just following orders: "Maximize shareholder value" with a quarter/year schedule.
I don't know about 'woke' but when people make generic comments like "you're not supposed to understand" and "the real goal is", followed by something dark and sinister, you're certainly not contributing substantively to the thread. That is flamebait and therefore off topic here.

If that works for you, great!

But consider this:

1. How does one know one mastered the material? I've often thought I knew it, but found out I did not.

2. How does a college know one mastered the material?

3. Even when doing things one loves, there are always some boring things that need to be done, too.

BTW, in learning to program on my own, I later discovered there were yawning gaps in my knowledge that were conventional knowledge taught in CS classes. It was embarrassing.

By not knowing about them I mean that the customer/company never defines the roles as part of onboarding, etc. In this case they define the restrictions per-user.
I'd like to share the following:

- "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari

I believe it is a pretty common book amongst the HN crowd, no need to expand over it.

- "The Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good?" by Michael Sandel

Currently reading this book. I find this book amazing. The arguments are well thought and the language is easy. I think Sandel is one of the top Philosophers of our time. Sandel, it seems, has a level of empathy that most well educated people are lacking. The topic of meritocracy interests me particularly, so I bought another book which is a meritocratic proponent "The Aristocracy of Talent: How Meritocracy Made the Modern World" by Adrian Wooldridge. The two held a really interesting debate at intelligence squared ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOpdahGGoxE ) not long time ago.

- "The Burnout Society" by Byung-Chul Han

This book is hard, as most books by Mr Han. To a large extend the book is like a thesis: dense, technical vocabulary, etc. Those not too deep in modern psychology and philosophy, like myself, will find following through challenging but IMO the idea of the "self-slave" is extremely prominent in the tech industry.
In all fairness, Lockheed Martin made the cover bright red.

That should be a quantifiable metric?
you're saying seemingly contradictory things (that would best be resolved for me if i just dug into clash, so i will):

>HLS generally means you compile a very high level description of computation to VHDL/Verilog.

...

>Clash is not itself coming up with a digital circuit like HLS is doing. The developer is specifying the digital circuit.

...

>Clash is a compiler closely based on GHC that compiles Haskell code

what does it mean for clash to compile haskell code but not to come up with a digital circuit? haskell code (afaik) doesn't represent combinational or sequential logic. well maybe it does using clash (thanks to haskell crazy metaprogramming faciilities) but then what does it mean to "compile"? verilog isn't compiled, it's still synthesized to gates and luts and whatever right? what does clash compile to natively if not verilog/vhdl (which then gets synthesized)?
How exactly is it bad judgement? I’d argue that working at google or investing and making money at google signifies equally bad judgement then, seeing as how it is a company that is eroding freedoms, regularly caught breaking laws, and rife with unethical business practices all in the name of innovation and technology. And yet nobody is decrying the evils of selling their stock in google to make some $.
Is it because it's using APIs that don't support fine grained permissions?

Has anybody else here had “SmartRent” thrust upon their apartment? My management recently installed a smart lock on my door that I hate. It is an order of magnitude slower than the key I used to use, not counting the time it takes for me to pull my phone out, unlock it and open the app. And my door is now arguably less secure (although I guess lockpicking isn’t that hard).

Why do apartments do this? Is it marketing? Tax breaks?
A lie? Americans have the highest median disposable income in the OECD after adjusting for government transfers like healthcare and education and for purchasing power parity. And it's not even close. US is at $54k, second place is tiny Luxembourg with $49k, Germany is at $42k, United Kingdom and Sweden at $35k, and Korea at $27k.

What is the less-engineered alternative to header files?
-- Easy maintenance. They need food and cuddles, but they don't need to be let out to potty ten times a day or require excess walks.

-- They have a remarkably complicated inner life. This appeals to creative types, who also often have a lot going on mentally.

-- They are conducive to the lifestyle, apart from wanting to stand on my keyboard. They will sit in the cat tree or on my lap for a long time, just wanting to be near. They will remind you when it's time to stand up and stretch.
I think Californians know about expensive houses but most of the USA is pretty cheap. Places like Europe/Canada/Australia didn't go down in price in the 2008 crash like the US did - its been straight up for decades.
Jefro, good point. Note that this is only a temporary discount for the first 50 buyers. Then we are back to our original price of $18/year.
For local documents I find it way easier than cloud stuff.

1. Local disk

2. Time machine ssd

3. Backblaze backup agent

For cloud stuff the services make it so hard. I have been working on a service off and on to backup Google photos to an SD card and then mail it to folks. And the amount of limitations, rate limiting, and random errors out of Google's API can be frustrating.
Why would you ship an application with the debug versions of the DLLs though?

To be fair I think the fuck-up was on gparted's part, it's supposed to handle this kind of thing for you during the resize. That being said no tool is ever bug free hence backups :).
