Well, this is exactly what I meant: you need to know your tools. Rename is very basic functionality. What makes real difference is, for example, automatic removal of unused variables/classes (quickly search for all occurrences, review the list, and then apply). Or rewrite some deprecated construct with a new one. Or structural search and replace (works on a code structure, not text).

There is way more to a fantastic language support in an IDE than symbol rename.
>The easiest (and probably the only) way to prevent a war with China is to convince the US to not start it.

Yes, if there's one thing we should have learned from WWII, it's that capitulating to land-grabs results in the bad-actor stopping. If we just let them take over the entirety of the South China Sea, Taiwan, and maybe just half of the African nations they've been lending money to who will never be able to repay their debts, they'll definitely be satisfied and stop. Korea, Japan, and India have nothing to worry about. Nothing at all...

Corporate rent seeking is proper up by a strong welfare state.

You must have missed a significant portion of my post if you do not see why I do not believe those are equivalent.

I'll reiterate: the number in the database represents an amount of tokens guaranteed to be accepted by the government of the country I live in. Cryptocurrency 'coins' carry no such guarantee, only the possibility of greater fools.
Aw, thanks! Not everyone was so enthusiastic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29327905 and so far nobody has responded saying something like "what about the problem of fretting in the soda-lime due to thermocycling, won't that make it impermeable to gas?" or "why don't you just scrub the air directly with the lyewater?" or "actually chlor-alkali plants only get about 5% of that efficiency" so I think maybe HN was the wrong place for it.

HN is structured to reward gut reactions, quick dismissals, and claims of authority, not essays, "What if?" explorations, humility, and careful calculation.
I don't know but if you were waiting for a signal, Samsung built another, larger, and more valuable fab in Austin a decade ago. And if you are judging by fab capacity the question you should have asked is when Texas will overtake Arizona. There really are very few semi fabs in California.
I built TechSpecs API - the fastest way to get detailed specifications for phones, tablets, smartwatches etc. Simply plug in a phone's name and get detailed specs in seconds!

Mobile Developers often need to get the detailed specs of their users' smartphone for debugging purposes or to help them better understand their user demographics. While it's possible to get a phone's manufacturer and model data using functions like Build.Manufacturer & Build.Model. there's no easy way to get the phone's specifications which makes it difficult to determine how fast or slow each user's phone is. TechSpecs API will help developers get the CPU, RAM, processor, display size, and more of their users' phones so that they can optimize their apps for maximum performance.

TechSpecs API will also make it fast and easy to create a product search and comparison tool. or to automatically embed detailed specs in any website.
I doubt it, that's what Venmo, PayPal, Cash app, and a thousand other services solve. Crypto isn't nearly as convenient as any of those.

if you aren’t wealthy you are effectively priced out of the US law/judicial system anyway.

If I took $5,000, maybe even $10,000 from you right now there would be almost nothing you could do because the legal efforts to pursue me for that amount would likely equal or surpass that.
The Texas grid has been diversified and transmission upgraded. The problem is that it hasn't been winterized. While this is costly, I doubt this is the main reason why prices are low. Texas has a large, cheap supply of natural gas and good areas for both wind and solar.

I see your perspective. There's another perspective from which you could look at the details of your situation.

You deferred to a trusted party to secure your wealth and because that third party was untrustworthy, you have to defer to an intermediary.

Had you deferred to yourself to secure your wealth you wouldn't be in this situation. The ledger would be the canonical one of ownership and possession, and you wouldn't have to defer to anyone.

Basically, you kept your bitcoin in a traditional, legally enforceable arrangement instead of the bottom layer, algorithmically enforced environment and now have to defer to the traditional system to restore possession.
And yet ExpressVPN is rated 5th on your site. A reputable review site would have ExpressVPN and NordVPN rated 0.0, or even not rated at all and shoved into a separate section, "VPNs to Avoid."
It's curious that your #1 listed VPN NordVPN has a pretty tasty affiliate program but I can't see Mullvad (no affiliate program) on your front page at all in spite of it being most peoples' favorite ;-)

I tried to start a site similar to this one in the past. I gave up in the end because honesty and $$$ just wouldn't mix. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't square this circle. Economically I think it doesn't even work on a theoretical basis. The mullvad of most industries just wouldn't have affiliate programs whereas the scummy companies would have the best affiliate programs.

There is a cycle that has existed for a while:

- More powerful PC. Mainframes have latency et all.

- More powerful Server, browser cannot handle that much computing.

The energy prices are low because Texas has tons of oil and gas and wind. The energy grid is actually more efficiently managed than California, which has had similar problems with electricity supply.

But the main reason Texas comes up is it has a very long history in semiconductors with a big workforce and lots of semiconductor companies.
Is your working memory sufficient in unfathomably large repositories? Or are you also excluding that from your argument?
One should not assume that those who are not keen on being photographed in public are unconcerned by the high level if institutional snooping, or that they have always felt this way. What has changed is the environment.

Until relatively recently, there was comparatively little institutional snooping going on, and most of that was not disseminated: for the most part, it stayed where it was taken for a couple of weeks, then the tapes were overwritten. These days, it is likely to last forever, and make its way into the hands of those companies that have made it their business to find out everything about us.

Similarly, when someone takes a snapshot on the street, it is very likely to be sucked up into the cloud. Even though I have no account with Facebook, I have little doubt that it can recognize me in the background of other people's pictures, and has a file on my whereabouts and activities.

Therefore, the issue is not the taking of the pictures per se, but the use they are put to by third parties. While I do not spend much time worrying about what could happen as a consequence, I sure do not like it, and I don't think I should have to justify that dislike.

The most important is probably the difference between lossy and lossless compression...

That's just complete nonsense and displays a fundamental misunderstanding of reality. There is no such thing as "completely stealth" or "perfect stealth" , just varying degrees of observability. Terrain masking is only even possible in limited areas, and flying at low level (dense air) drastically reduces range. Turboprop aircraft like the Super Tucano also can't carry the sensors necessary to strike certain targets in all weather conditions; there's no place to even put a large radar.

The days of building mass quantities of cheap, expendable tactical aircraft are simply over. Even if we were willing to tolerate higher aircrew casualty rates that approach is no longer cost effective. It's just too expensive to train more pilots and maintain larger numbers of aircraft in peacetime even if the initial procurement cost is lower. You have to look at the full lifecycle cost to achieve the target level of capability.

For naval aviation the constraints are even stricter. A carrier can only fit a fairly small air wing, so it's essential that every aircraft be highly capable. Even if that means the aircraft are extremely expensive, it's still more cost effective than building another carrier.
Crypto is used as a commodity and for scams, very rarely as a currency. Given that transferring crypto is hard, slower, more expensive, riskier, public, and more wasteful than real banking, I don’t see why these would be related.

> In candid street photography, I think what people fear is exactly that: bad intent, a willingness of the photographer to exploit the images in order to show ridicule or maybe even obtain sexual gratification.

That cuts both ways though -- I would be much more worried about the "intent" of someone looking up my face in particular and/or storing a database of millions of face-recognized surveillance videos than any possible malintent a human photographer could have. The former has much more potential for sinister outcomes originating from sinister intents.
Streets/Subways are public, you have no expectation of privacy in public. Consent is implied. If you go into publicly accessible areas you will be on camera.

However, a professional photographer despite knowing this would have asked for additional consent given the nature and subjects of the photo and their intentions on how the photo will be used.

I agree. Just the fact that he lumps Doge and Bitcoin together into "meme coins" tells me he has no idea what he's talking about or that he has an ulterior motive.

Whatever you think about those two coins, they are not really similar, especially given that some nations have made Bitcoin legal tender at this point.
As someone who is interested in this space, you have a proper way of looking at it. Most tokens are just scams outright, or if not scams, have communities which are totally unwilling to solve the technological problems inherent of their coins (see Bitcoin's high fees, limited block size, lack of privacy). One example of a decent currency which runs counter to this trend is privacy-focused Monero, though the developers/community don't bother to market it in the same manner as many other coins, to a point that on of the main criticisms of it is its comparable lack of volatility, amusingly enough.

tl;dr There are quite a few innovations that have been made by various actors in the cryptographic currency space, most of which are entirely drowned out by a torrent of mind-numbing get-rich-quick scams and stubborn, close-minded speculators.
Have separate admin-facing and user-facing RBAC. Don't try to force them under one roof. You have an organization, and a product. Both have different authorization needs (many products don't have any), even if they may use the same authentication mechanism.

I tend to keep admin RBAC simple and group-oriented. It's mostly for direct data access permissions (per table, etc), but can add others too. Different groups for different departments. Mainly for internal CRUD apps at first (e.g. Django Admin).

OTOH, User-facing RBAC is project-oriented and uses the virtual policy system described by Tailscale. The users themselves, in a project-manager role, can manage their own policies, memberships, and resources tags. I like to provide sane defaults and support for modifying policies should they even need it. Importantly, one user can have membership in different projects with different roles.

You'd create a project with the 15K resources, add the customer to it in a manager role, and then they choose the policies, tags, and roles to make it work for their organization.

Ofc, admins can also be users. Simply create one or more projects for internal use.
Cryptocurrencies can also be legally seized. Anything can be.

NTFS is old, so I think they're actually just sequences of 16-bit values, once upon a time these were presumed to be UCS-2 characters, now they're presumed to be UTF-16 code units, but either way just as Unix filenames are actually just [u8] the Windows filenames are just [u16]
He probably did, but there's wisdom in his typo.
But the alternative here is that you have to place all your trust in an unknown and untrusted 3rd party to ever actually make an exchange.

Even the silk-road used an escrow service that required that the seller trust the buyer, and both parties trust the silk-road. (a buyer places coins in escrow with the silk-road, the silk-road confirms it has the coins to the seller, the seller ships the product, the buyer unlocks the coins escrow upon receipt)

So the whole things boils down to "trust" and it turns out that the ledger can't actually provide any trust.
In many ways the current democratic party could be cast as 'conservative' in the classic sense of 'to conserve'. They are trying to conserve the status quo - institutions, democratic processes, norms, how government works/what it is, globalism etc. This also means they are tightly enmeshed with corporations and corporate interests. It means that the progressive part of the democratic party are generally disappointed, because the party at large isn't trying to make things change.

If the democrats are 'conservative' what are the republicans and the people that are voting for them? They are reactionary. They do want change - but as a reaction. That the things desired are not compatible or even necessarily well defined: `religious values based government`, `returning culturally to a previous era`, `small government/government is the problem`, `reversing globalization`, `blowing it all up to rebuild`.

It is also reactionary in terms of being against whatever the democrats are for. So much so that they will reverse their previous position, if the democrats agree with it. An obvious example of this would be Merrick Garland. Or the ACA.

There are other more mundane 'conservative' values that remain - like low taxes, corporate interests, maintaining the social/financial hierarchy, traditional family values perhaps. They remain, but arguably aren't as significant as they were in the past.

Assuming this is correct it means: republicans want big changes. That it's largely undefined what these big changes would actually be in practice. Moreover it is logically impossible for them to deliver in practice. They can appear to temporarily deliver on being 'not democrats'.

It is the only way to have such a stance. The more you know, the more you empathise.
> ...(besides crime)

First you have to define "crime." If by "crime" you mean "any activity outside the purview of regulatory authorities" then you're defining everything that isn't a bank account as crime. It is circular logic. "Its only use case is crime because using it is crime." If you more narrowly define crime as criminal acts besides just unregulated financial activities, then you can start to see the value proposition.

thanks for this highly interesting comment about the fab floor.
Explained simply, while there are indeed users acting as the middle man verifying transactions, you don't have to worry about trusting them because the system is built in a way where you know exactly what they're going to do.

To add to this idea of mining, theres a more grandiose theory that smart contracts are the additive tool that we can use to build all sorts of incentives in our society for people to collaborate effectively. You don't have to force people to collaborate towards the greater good if you can just incentivize them to build the thing you need. This allows them to mine out the value and build a better and more trust-less community at large. It's like a bug bounty but for problems in society.
> It feels insane to hope for but I'm really hoping that by the time 2025 rolls around we see some modest affordable arm chips that have Thunderbolt built in. Perhaps even multiple Thunderbolt. If nothing else, there better be some decent PCIe available by then- 8x PCIe 5.0 or better.

In the shorter term, I'm hoping the RK3588 actually comes out, is as good as promised, and has a reasonable price. [1] 4 lanes of PCIe 3.0 + 3 lanes of PCIe 2.0 + 2x USB 3.1 + dual gigabit Ethernet total at well over 10X the bandwidth of the Pi's single PCIe 2.0 lane. Also things I care about for my NVR project: faster video decoding, built-in TPU, and SATA (which I didn't count above because it's multiplexed with the PCIe 2.0).

I don't think the 4x Cortex-A76 + 4x Cortex-A55 is in the same league as the Apple M1, but still quite a bit faster than the Pi4's 4x Cortex-A72.

I think there's a happy medium to be found here. I don't have a tonne of smart home devices but I have some that have been very useful for me.

The deadbolt on my front door can sense my key fob. This means when I come home and my hands are full of groceries I just touch the deadbolt and it unlocks instead of having to juggle bags while I dig out my keys.

I also have smart light switches in parts of my home. They aren't set up to be smart though. I bought them because they always return to a central, neutral position. Instead of toggling randomly for a three way switch I know that up is always on and down is always off.
