Lightning is a PoS method built on a PoW network. Lightning is useful for staked transactions that need lots of little updates. Those little updates were too expensive for the B blockchain, so thus Lightning.
All it takes is one exposure, and your "indoor" cat can infect your remaining pets (and you).

This entire topic is is marred with silly nonsense like "your only risk is mishandling cat feces", which totally ignores things like:

1) The cat litter box is covered in microscopic parasite-containing cat feces

2) The cat tracks feces-covered litter out of the box into the living space, which further spreads the parasite. If you walk barefoot through your house, you will step on cat liter pieces eventually which are again covered in microscopic feces.

3) The cat steps in litter covered in cat feces from other cats, gets it on its paws, which it then licks, starting the infection cycle over again. Multiple cats can easily keep a perpetual infection cycle going.

4) Cats, even well trained ones, routinely climb on top of furniture/eating/cooking surface and coat them in their feces. My parents were shocked after installing an interior camera when they saw their "well-behaved cats that never do that" walk all over their dinner table, kitchen counters, open and go inside cabinets etc etc. They are smart enough to know when you are around or not, and to not act like this when you can see them.

5) Cats have sharp claws, and even well behaved ones can accidentally scratch you or scratch a toddler that gets too close etc. This will then directly introduce cat feces to your blood stream.

Once exposed, the initial symptoms are mild flu-like symptoms and not a huge deal (unless you are pregnant, in which you will likely experience a miscarriage. Pregnant women should not be exposed to cats, or be in a household that has indoor cats). The real issue is the long term cysts they leave behind in your brain, causing a latent inflammation and immune response that seemingly interacts with your dopamine system in poorly understood ways. For example, latent cyst-stage toxoplasmosis significantly increases your risk of developing schizophrenia.

These stories never disappoint, no matter how many times we read them....
(That's the joke)
I’m at Walt Disney World right now. It’s certainly expensive and plastic and rather boring (which is fine since this trip is for the kids), but not any worse than pre-Covid experiences at Disneyland.

There’s a Lightning Lane system that lets you pre-buy slots in line for the rides. The mobile app is pretty useful and takes off some of the pain in negative experiences like waiting for the awful food. People wear masks indoor as required.

Sure, corporations slowly spoil everything, but I don’t think Covid has been a particular turning point for the Disney theme park experience.

I think this is just a function of the internet expanding in functionality. Back when the internet was wild, dangerous and unpredictable, the internet itself was pretty small and insignificant. Now the internet has become the backbone, and for it to become a backbone it has to be safe and sanitized.

Now if you want to find the wild, dangerous and unpredictable, you have to look to various parts of the internet. For all the hate that Web3 gets, it's really the new wild west of the internet, just like the internet itself was back when it first came out. Eventually Web3 will be tamped down by regulations and corporations and become a safe and sanitized place just like the rest of the "mainstream" internet. But for now I really cherish just how nuts that whole space is.
I believe that "low skilled attack" also includes the ability to search the internet and watch a video. There are literally thousands of videos on YouTube with demonstrations of low skilled attacks using improvised tools.

For example I made a shim and opened a lock I own in less than 30 minutes after watching one of his videos that featured a similar lock. I had never opened a lock without a key before that day, don't have much use of two fingers on one hand, and my toolbox fits in a kitchen drawer.

For your list of common low skill attacks which have widespread effectiveness I would also include shimming, hammering, and cutting. Also in the case of locks with electronics associated with them, strong magnets.
Short lines (about 72 chars) are easier to read prose.
But most code is tabulated, and is much less dense than prose.

I tried a few different thresholds over the years and I finally chose 100 chars.
It is a good compromise, wide enough to not be obnoxious and enabling long names.

And still narrow enough to display two columns on a single wide screen when needed.
Arabic/indian numbers, when written in arab writing direction from right (lowest significant decimal) to left (most significant) can just be read logically without scanning ahead but in order small to big.

Maybe german borrowed this RTL reading order for the 2-digit numbers.

German borrowed the word 'Ziffer' (= 'digit') from the arab word for 'zero', so there's some connections.
I think there’s some post hoc ergo prompter hoc with blaming recommendations if someone doesn’t want to watch what’s being recommended. If you watch what’s recommended to you and you don’t like it…that’s a bad recommendation. If you don’t even watch it, then there’s likely other factors than the recommendation that are barriers to watching.

Again apologies for my ignorance
It probably differs a lot per person, and I usually do find graphical explanations of stuff easyer to graph. But that formula was way easyer to understand for me than the other explanation. Maybe it is related to the fact that I am pretty ok at math, but I got kinda bad dyslexia.
There's been lots of headlines about South African reports that it has mild symptoms. And lots of complaining that early observations from small and young sample groups should maybe not be reported as uncaveated "it's mild" headlines. (personally: start looking in 2-3 weeks, then there might be useful info, and it's not like it being reported as bad or not-so-bad in the mean time actually changes anything for me. Trying to get anything useful out of this early reporting seems for now fairly pointless.)
Germany! Yeah, I feel you on the socially "stuck" part. I've been over here almost 6 years and it took at least 3 to get a social life going. Perhaps I'm just not outgoing enough, perhaps there are a lot of other factors at play. I would say that making friendships in US is a lot easier on the whole, but this is based on anecdotal experience and not any sort of hard evidence. There are many US immigrants here who echo similar experiences. I found my first good friends were also immigrants and then later made a few close German friends.
You'd hate my display which is often in 9:16 mode :-)
This. As someone who helped to run a theatre company in the USA, it is incredibly hard to do it as a for-profit except at the very high-end, e.g. Broadway.

My First Wife was an actor by career and most for-profit productions survive because they pay their actors so little. And you're only paid for performances, so those many weeks of rehearsals where you are perhaps driving 10 miles each way are going to eat up most of your income from the production.

I feel BMW missed an opportunity here to market this as an advantage rather than disadvantage...play on 'we listened to customer feedback'...and the safety angle.

I think that would have played better for their sales, at least that's my hunch.
Apple do this quite nicely. I don't have mac equipment, but I see the integration is good where the grass is greener. In linux it is replicated using the websites for messages(android)/whatsapp/telegram and signal has an app.

When I used to have an iphone (4s days), I loved the move to android (pixel) which gave me so much freedom. Cloud apps weren't restricted to Apple PCs (I think this has changed now), and I could just plug into my linux laptop and just drag and drop files to read on a journey. Also tethering always worked nicely on linux.
It might be a way better experience if they doubled the price. For me the crowds and wait times are the biggest negative.
I personally think they are, many of the lawyers honestly think they are doing the right thing

They have tons of money, they’re highly educated, well connected individuals, are they not? All they have to do is spend one Saturday reading up. With the money they have, they can even hire researchers to do some original research for them. My guess is that they don’t want to know. Money has a way of suppressing one’s good side.

I am having a hard time sympathizing with these lawyers. They go after students, poor people for downloading a song or two. They’re the reason for the sorry state of copyright laws
Been working on a webapp on-and-off using Kratos for a bit and it is a massive relief to be able to delegate the hard parts of authentication to something else.

My only real pain points are the docs and the JS SDK - the docs can be rough depending on what you're looking at, and the SDK has no documentation at all. I get that it's automatically generated, but it's enough of a pain to figure out that I resorted to just making the HTTP requests myself.

If word-of-mouth marketing is important ("Mom, my friend went to Disneyland last year, why can't we go?") then attendance may drop off more quickly with a price increase than for other goods. The cost of recovery might be high. Also, we don't know the balance of sunk costs and operating expenses, and the expense of a marginal guest.

Walt Disney designed the company to have its various activities support each other, so each in isolation might appear underpriced. Is the goal of Disneyland to make a profit on tickets, or to sell toys and a Disney+ subscription when the kids go home?
WTF!?! Why the hell do you think I want to "cheer them on to try again"!?

I'm fine with the claim "the Soviets intended to destroy Russian cooking". I said so myself.

I want to know how "Communism" destroyed Russian cooking but not Vietnamese or Chinese cooking.
It's amusing to me that the article body seems to be wrapped at 80 chars.

I think all of this stuff is an art not a science but I'd rather people didn't go much over 100 chars, it becomes really difficult to read and I'd argue in most cases there should probably be descriptive names given to parts of a long line in the form of variables/constants. Maybe this doesn't apply to kernel development but I love to name things really descriptively rather than giving things short names or building clever one liners.
Reading the review, i cant help but feel that the author was always planning to return the unit. They did not seem to spend much time actually using the tablet and invest in learning how to use it, they just took advantage of the return window, and from tge sounds of it, was always planning to.
I have often wondered why they don't charge >$1,000 per ticket. I imagine this wouldn't deter 90% of their guests, but I'm sure Disney has done the math. If it worked out, they would've done it.
It forces you to stop and parse the numbers because you need to invert them in your head. For me, it's the same effect as writing something down because your brain needs to process it.
Who is behind the app? Company? Person? Impossible to find anything than a "hi@" e-mail. The Github repository has no people-members, commiters have no real location...
How? What is a common modern day use?
Couple thoughts:

* 400+kB of compressed JS for a landing page seems excessive

* in the video, having the company name _clearly_ dubbed in by a second person (for instance, at 0:16) seems very weird. Name changes happen, but somehow there's enough budget to re-make the motion-graphics but not re-record the whole voiceover?
Totally disagree. SICP is the most boring and hard to read book ever written and I don't recommend it to anyone.

Good work there. Imagine if we had a universal feed generator that could generate a feed out of everything. No more manual checking labor.

It varies by trim level. For example the entry level outback has physical climate controls, but the "premium" one has tiny little buttons on the touch screen
But it isn’t an improvement since nothing else changes. They’re just charging the same (or higher let’s be real after dealer markups) for fewer features.
Sounds like we have a similar problem: start doing something and immediately do it very intensively and cause more harm than good to your body. High intensity + each day sounds like a bad idea almost always. The only people who do it with a good reason are professional athletes and they still have injuries all the time
Poster didn't mention musical theatre, but that is a much easier sell to the public, IMO, than straight plays. You don't see many indie musicals produced though compared to say the number of Shakespeare productions that are probably going on in any city right now.
I made the same mistake as you a few years back. Had no indication that they were closing early for holloween (and letting in others plus a parade). I was pretty annoyed that I couldn't pay more to stay (same situation .. was sold out). My thinking was that this is locals crowding out the tourists. When I considered what I paid compared to annual pass, it was clear that the hard core disney fans in the area were getting a far better deal than I was.

I was also appalled at the number of people (popular rides like guardians of the galaxy had 1.5-3 hour waits). I did not understand Fastpass (my bad but come on .. it was visiting a theme park for my kids .. why do they make it so complicated? I am on vacation to avoid complexity.)

As a parent with little kids who could not go on every ride, it was simply terribly over priced. It was not like this when I was a kid. Basically, my experience made me swear off Disney .. it is like the big mac burger .. the picture of the burger is amazing. Reality is different.
>what's called a "sand bath" by rolling around.

I'm sorry, but is this a joke and I'm just missing it? I find it hard to believe that you are seriously suggesting a cat rolling around in a feces-covered litter box is "cleaning itself".

>freshly cleaned litter box

There is essentially no such thing as this. You would need to completely remove the litter and sanitize the box with bleach _each time your cat poops_. No one does this, they scoop out poop and put the contaminated scoop in a bucket or something. The next time the cat enters the "clean" box it is covered in it's own feces, and your scoop acts as a cross-media reinfection device. Litter boxes are, in practice, perpetually dirty things.
You'd be surprised how quickly you can kick a door down when your psycho (ex) girlfriend deadbolts your door and says she's going to burn your house down because you are evicting her.
> There was language that might have implied this was the case, but it was not clear or I was oblivious, probably the latter.

For what it's worth, the language and layout was probably A/B tested and painstakingly tuned to maximise the probability of you making that mistake. Don't blame yourself when there's this unfair power imbalance, blame them for using their power against you maliciously.
How about single-letter Chinese labels? because that is my background and that is what I am comfortable using.
This is not entirely relevant to HN but his work touched a number of cultural intersections across music, fashion, tech etc since so many of those things intertwine these days, not to mention being a voice/movement for societal change and up'n'coming designers etc. Not the biggest fan but it's still a shocking loss.
Let me give you an alternative view: DRM is a highly effective way for the movie industry to make money. No, it is not perfect, but DRM creates a system where:

1. Sharing is hard. Plenty of people legally purchase a movie, and then want to give it to their friends; DRM makes that difficult and thus generates at least some additional sales.

2. Forced obsolescence -- people who buy media legally can be forced to buy it again and again every time they buy a new entertainment device.

3. Creative business models -- in a world without DRM, you could not offer "rental" downloads, "streaming" would just be a form of "downloading," and the industry could not offer special "deals" like "family" passes that permit more than one account holder to view a purchased movie. All of these are ways to make money that could not happen in a world without DRM.

Yes, DRM is always broken after enough time -- that is not as much of a problem as you might expect. As long as the time between a DRM system being deployed and being broken is long enough that the industry makes back more than the cost of developing the DRM system, the system worked. Developing new DRM systems from time to time is just the cost of doing business, not really a problem for anyone in the industry, and as you point out it may even work to the benefit of certain participants.

I am not a big fan of DRM (in fact, I would argue that the entire movie industry needs to rethink its business model, embrace the true power of file sharing as a means of distributing movies and focusing more on using movies as a draw or value-add for other lines of business), but it is not as if the movie industry executives are a bunch of buffoons who continue to waste their money after decades of broken DRM. If DRM was not adding to the industry's profits they would have stopped bothering with it -- see e.g. the music industry, which has a somewhat different business model and which has largely given up on their DRM dreams.
German numbers are actually mixed-endian when they get to three digits and above. “136” is “one-hundred six-and-thirty”.
Nothing. Not feeling very expansive at the moment.
You "don't do drugs" in Sweden so that won't happen, publicly almost everyone is against pot. This might be changing but not in the near future.
I wouldn’t worry about it. Bitcoin incentivizes energy development. As the world moves to a Bitcoin standard, we will unlock new types of energy that were previously unproductive. It’s likely that energy will more cheap and plentiful under a Bitcoin standard, leading to downward pressure on transaction prices as mining is more economical. Also, more transactions are likely to move off chain to Lightning Network and sidechains.

Still plenty of scaling left in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
What's the diff between EU and US when it comes to free days?

How many paid, free days per year that you can take in almost any amount in a row do you have?
It's unclear why 'monopoly over making copies' is called in your comment by confusing term 'copyright'. Why something that is not 'right' and cannot exist as 'right' called by this strange term? How one can have 'right' over what others do? May be you can explain also that?

If such 'right' even exist then it belongs to people who wish to make copy of something isn't it?

It's hard to see why how and who on earth is entitled to prohibit to anyone in having right to make a copy as long as a person who makes copy doesn't present such copy as original.
Also the experience-impacting changes they've made to accommodate crowds, like the removal of benches from most walkways.
> I find it highly dubious that any HR endorsed riots, I have never heard of an HR department or really anyone endorse violence.

Then you're just not familiar with SF latte liberalism, or you're being dishonest. Every company in the Bay Area was "making a statement" on BLM events that were characterized exclusively by massive vandalism and violence. They were taking defamatory positions on Rittenhouse, which itself was caused by a riot due to outright lies about what happened in a previous criminal case. All while strapping BLM Marxist fists over LinkedIn pages.

> I also find when people post that someone endorsed violence, such as top democrats endorsed it, it’s actually they endorsed the right to protest and condemned violence.

This is all part and parcel of plausible deniability. But everyone knows why we had a year of outright misrepresentations of racial crime during 2020. And it wasn't because of the good natures of left wing urbanites. (Strangely, the fact a black Hebrew Nationalite ran over 60 white people, killing 6 and 6 more critically injured at a Christmas parade last week is not cause for corporate statements or "a conversation about race".)

The pages of HN are littered with decriminalization, removing bail, anti-police for years. This is what SF gets, and if they cared more about their city than their egos, they could fix this problem.
The best world would be if every language had a decent formatter so everyone could view code as they wish and it was checked in at some standard width for a company. Or, a world where git didn't see a formatting change as a code change if there were no change in logic; where it sees the AST rather than the textual content. Then, I could use whatever width I want and you can use your preference, and neither of us have to care about the others settings.

Go further, and you could even have a file to map one or more variables to a different name, so that is someone prefers "avg_val" and you prefer "average_value", then you could both see the different name, although that starts to get dangerous as you discuss the same code with different syntax but the same semantics.
No. Tex is procedural. It's an execute-only language, not a declarative one. It would result in documents as rigid as PDF documents.

The other direction, constraint-based layout, is more useful. A is above B, C is to the right of D. Put all those into a constraint analyzer and come up with a layout. This is a 2D geometry problem and should be solved graphically, not procedurally. Nobody knew how to write constraint solvers thirty years ago, and they can be compute-intensive, but those are solved problems now.

A good example of a system which does this is the 2D sketch system in Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360. Those are true parametric constraint solving systems. Plus, unlike web systems, they can do curves.
