So true. In my opinion Stephen makes the mistake of mixing the technology (Blockchains) with the Ponzi schemes that some people use them for. To give an analogy, the internet is used for crime, but it would be wrong to say it was invented for that purpose and it should be abandoned. Blockchains are the only known way of having a digital cash system without a Central authority. Period. A small percentage of people are getting richer and richer with the status quo (banks, payment processors, etc...) They are milking people with their transaction fees, interests, cross border fees, etc... They are also bailed out with taxpayers money when they mismanage money. It's about time we cut out the middle man, and crypto is the only known way to do that!

At first I thought it was a parody about overdesign and CV-driven development.

This kind of feedback loop can be done in hardware without even an IC. Or an 8266 microcontroller (2 euros on aliexpress) if you really need WiFi.
No one has mentioned VirtualBox yet?
The quality of life difference Autopilot makes is worth $100k+ (though you don't need to spend that much anymore with the Y/3). Your dig at the end about phantom braking is kinda interesting, but I think you are underestimating how much of a different Autopilot truly makes.
I acknowledged this, what I was trying to get across is that the existence of obsidian obliterates the need for something like Typora as its functionality is baked into obsidian sufficiently for me
What's your experience with Tailscale? Have you compared it to alternatives (ZeroTier, Nebula, OpenVPN...)?
This is the most out of touch thing I’ve read on HN in a while. When did we start talking about whether couples bringing in $400k/year could retire at age 50. You are clearly an outlier, even when compared to software engineers in the states, let alone Europe.

Can you elaborate?
The "kicker": your "doubts" don't get any more credible when you say "I sincerely doubt" and "I cannot believe."

So you don't like his conclusion that "green" technologies may be harmful? Thus you "doubt" the whole piece. Smart! Also you get to compare it to other things you don't like. Motte-bailey much?
In British Columbia as of Friday, “91.0% (4,219,790) of eligible people 12 and older in B.C. have received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine and 87.6% (4,060,193) have received their second dose” and “Past two weeks, cases hospitalized per 100,000 population after adjusting for age: Not vaccinated: 38.3; Fully vaccinated: 2.0”

If this new variant of concern is highly lethal, I expect that post-pandemic we will have far fewer people around who reject facts and simple math. Maybe then we can solve some of the other crises facing this world.
I’ve been looking for a modern space cadet keyboard, but this isn’t it. For one the space bar is way bigger than it ought to be and that reclaimed space should have at a bare minimum comfortably thumb accessible control and meta keys. Or whatever you want to progr As it is my thumb has to travel all the way to my pinky just to hit the first modifier key.

If you’re calling your board keymacs it should have exceptional ergonomics for default emacs style binds. They did get the parentheses right though which is nice.

I want to see this small family business succeed and I would consider low four figures for the perfect emacs board so I hope they iterate on this.

Most VM support nesting of hardware virtualization, with glaring exceptions being Windows's HyperV (until W11 apparently) and Xen.
What recourse do Indian citizens have if SpaceX decides to not honor its agreement? They cannot be sued in Indian courts. It’s entirely justified to be extremely skeptical.

I've been working on a music player that combines audio analysis and shaders to create music videos that play alongside your music. The videos are similar to the style of edited music videos you can often find on youtube and the like, but are done in real-time!

edit: to clarify some confusion, this app is basically a music player similar to wallpaper engine but with more focus on visualizations. the trailer contains an example of the videos produced - you load your images into the app, and the app uses it to create a visualization synchronized with the music similar to the style of edited music videos.

Sort of tangential to the point that you're trying to make, but if I were in Sweden I'd probably be okay working longer because I could actually travel outside of 1-week segments once a year like I have to do in the US.
Don't be absurd... You need to keep the first round for post-mortem analysis to try and figure out what went wrong and how to compensate for it.
That's not what your asking. If you can quantify externalities una suitable manner then do so and hold them responsible? If you can't and you decide to ban instead that tells us it's more about control than anything.

Fuck are they gonna do, blanket jam the signal?

If I'm desperate enough to buy Internet service from a satellite provider, I couldn't give a fuck about the gov's license.

Best they can do is confiscate the dish in customs.
The financial argument is valid but nobody wants to pay money for a service they would want and then receive an email saying we can't provide it because "Indian goverment deemed it so". One scenario is the government doesn't communicate with the public and then Space-X doesn't get its license. Telling people to be cautious is okay. And anyways if Space-X has enough capacity, pre-orders shouldn't matter.

There's nuance here and sound policy lies on a spectrum between fully free trade and protectionism. Free trade in services without free movement of people is nonsense in my opinion. It almost always benefits the incumbent.
Opposing parties choose to come to the US for that very reason. They trust the US courts to uphold contracts more justly relative to other jurisdictions. The US’s trust is it’s most important asset.
Just what is inside modern software? Why is Windows 95 Word tiny but office 365 Word needs gigabytes of RAM?

What is happening there? Putting 100K of integers in a linked list gives you +100K of overhead. Putting 100K of text in Word gives you 100M overhead. Ridiculous.
Why Texas and not Arizona, or Florida or some other state?
Zeiss Axio Imager research grade upright light microscope with DIC, phase contrast, and fluorescence. It's easy to use without training if you've had at least a high school or college bio course with a real microscope. It's stable and sturdy, the lenses rotate into position with a lovely stop, the stage moves steadily, the lenses are fantastic. All the microscopy perks are there, but just the way the basics are assembled into an instrument make it a gem, from focusing the eyepieces, to focusing the image, centering the stage, aligning the beam in the optical axis, inserting prisms or filters. It reminds me of my 40 year old Husqvarna sewing machine, built solid and heavy and designed to be used with controls to be handled.
My general understanding is that Twonky Media was originally developed specifically to be a DLNA-compliant solution. Plex was not, but had DLNA support added as a bolt-on feature to the server. Plex had better UX than Twonky but I don't think any of the Plex clients ever functioned as controllers, so Plex wasn't quite "real" DLNA in the sense that Twonky was, it was more of like a compatibility solution to allow embedded DLNA clients to access your media in Plex (I believe this still works but... don't have any DLNA clients around, so who knows). Twonky was "first-class" DLNA but never felt very high quality and didn't survive to the modern era.

While UPnP was accepted as an ISO standard and by extension DLNA was very ISO-standards based, I think the ISO angle tends to be a distraction... the meaningful authority on DLNA, including the specifications and certification, was always the DLNA incorporation itself (a non-profit partnership of its promoters). Many DLNA implementations predated ISO acceptance of UPnP A/V on which its based, and the way to get the specifications was not by paying a hefty sum to ISO but by paying an even heftier sum (membership dues) to DLNA Inc. So DLNA was an "open standard" compared to e.g. Plex that does not intend to be a multi-vendor ecosystem, but it was not as "open" as you would hope which was no doubt a factor in its limited adoption... some device vendors like Logitech and Sony bet on it pretty heavily in hardware products but it probably would have seen more of a software ecosystem if the specs were easier to obtain.

This is of course not dissimilar to many other "open standards" like USB (controlled far more by USB-IF than by any other standards body). Of course USB versions are typically submitted to general standards bodies like IEC, but when there's already a domain-specific organization promulgating standards usually the only reason it gets submitted to general standards bodies is for compliance purposes, e.g. it's not unusual for government customers to require that things be standardized through ISO (which is basically the origin story of POSIX). In the case of USB I think IEC acceptance is mostly driven by safety regulations in some countries that require electrical interconnects to be approved by a recognized standards body. I'm far from an expert in this field, this is just what I've observed about the interaction between implementation groups and general standards bodies.
The large investors will buy even more.
It might or might not be easy to catch someone. But, if things are anything like in Pakistan, if you do get caught you will be in trouble with the military, which is no joke.
Lots of comments dunking on Indian Government as grandstanding or too corrupt and quoting extreme examples to justify this position. Sorry folks, not every other non Western or non Western-allied country is a banana republic. India does suffer from endemic corruption but that doesn’t mean that every decision is tainted by that for fucks sake. It’s entirely reasonable for the Government to ensure that a foreign corporation is going to offer a legitimate service, and has proper mechanisms to address grievances, before it’s allowed to take money from it’s citizens.

What a graceful way to handle levels beyond what you had the resources to include in the game. They could have wrapped around, but that would have been boring, they could have switched to random generation but that would have required additional code. Instead just let it slowly cycle through ROM and use whatever is there.

I'm not sure it was on purpose, but a nice solution.
It's in the IC path. The teams being led will have some number of people-managers attached to them.

Viruses evolve to become more mild because very sick or dead hosts are bad spreaders.

Covid has a long incubation period before symptom onset (when somebody notices and isolates or becomes bed-bound). So Covid, especially Delta, spreads well for days, whether or not ultimately symptoms are mild or ultimately it causes death.

Therefore a mild version of Delta wouldn't necessarily outcompete a non-mild version of Delta, all other things being equal.
All of this reads like a Dickensian nightmare, where corporations have bought up all the water and air.

This is ridiculous, we need much better regulation on this stuff.

I wonder if higher property taxes would help a bit? If you own a 'home' then you're going to be paying for the water, school, electricity infrastructure whether you use electricity, water, or not.

Of course, that would be gamed hard and would have to be strongly regulated as well.

But that, and vacant property taxes, limits on some other things, and some other adjustments might help.

What's this based on ? Is there some R-value or Mortality ratio at which natural immunity is better ? Besides vaccines are cheap, nowehere expensive enough to put a dent in people's pockets.

It sounds like you're asking for specific examples of pandemics that didn't happen because they weren't detrimental enough to endanger people. That category of respiratory viruses is often broadly described as "the common cold."
This is an interesting place to bring up the ethics of Thanksgiving given the demographic. However, given my primary avocation is philosophy, I'm interested in how you arrived at the ethical ideology that turkeys are indeed sentient and that they deserve a life devoid of human consumption. I am not a moral relativist and I prefer justified beliefs so I'll give you some context that you missed in your original comment.

My wife and I purchase local, farm-raised, organic (free of hormones), free-range poultry and we eat turkey _once per year_. It could be argued that our abstinence of industrial turkey consumption is the ethical way to justify the one I eat on Thanksgiving.

The standard treatment of animals is _arguably_ immoral in a lot of cases (certainly not all), but it depends on your view of animal consciousness, the role they play in the advancement of human life, and whether or not we have a moral and ethical duty to protect them. I'm not opposed to having ethical debates, but this seems hardly the place for it if you're interested in _authentic_ and _educated_ dialogue. Your appeal to emotion using (incorrect) words like "genocide" and "needless slaughter" suggest a strong ideology and lack of objectivity, which suggests a disinterest in philosophical pursuit of knowledge.

Genocide implies the targeted extinction of a human demographic. Thanksgiving turkeys are raised _to be food_ from the beginning. I don't believe large amounts of people are hunting around for wild turkeys a few days before Thanksgiving. Also, given their role in the US economy, I think that extermination would be bad for capitalism. Bioethics considers the immorality of raising animals for food, but I have not heard of it referred to as genocide by any reputable author. One could argue that since carnivores are not unique to humans it is "natural" and therefore not unethical. Remember, just because you consider something "icky" [doesn't make it immoral](https://www.philosophyetc.net/2004/09/moral-emotions-yuk-fac...). The opposite argument here is that humans are aware of their actions and therefore held to a higher standard. There is nothing objective about this claim since we have no access to the [qualia](https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qualia/) and consciousness of animals.
i was think about this like one hour ago, start why i need to config docker to make php website, then migrate to when i start to think i don't funking know anything in linux(after years of using it), how x11 works(like really),not talking about multi threading in the kernel, the idea of know how anything works is relic of the past,i work in some next.js project have more file than some of the old legacy UNIX, this is become insane but i don't think this will slow down any time soon.
I guessed that it was a math loop causing the slowdown, but I wonder what actually killed it. Naively I would have thought that you just missed a frame like many other games on the NES (see SMB1). It is surprising that a missed frame actually kills the game.
My understanding is that Australia can be pretty picky. Dick & Pip Smith drove an Earthroamer (a $500k offroading RV) around the world and when he got to his native Australia there were several things he had to alter, even though it was titled in Colorado, had Colorado plates, and had a 12-month Carnet from the government for it. The ones I remember were he had to install wider fender flares to ensure full coverage, and replace the red rear turn signals with amber ones. Being famous there apparently didn't help.

At present trajectory this is a reasonable outcome, in the case of a major correction saving your money will also mean you benefited from the bubble.

There used to be stories from the .com bubble of people who only knew a little html getting six figures. On being told this around ‘08 everyone would nod and think that it was ridiculous - after all fresh college grad backend engineers could be hired for just 30k at the time on the low end in the US.

Flash forward to today and we’d think a front end engineer or designer with technical knowledge for those rates would be a steal even after adjusting for inflation.

I don’t doubt techs impact, or that the big tech should be the most valuable companies in the world. But I would be surprised if software engineer became the highest paid profession on a permanent basis, which with current salary progressions is a given without a correction.
Maybe not a joke: Turkish lira crash at every Thanksgiving?
I would not be surprised if the apparently constant significative fluctuations of the Turkish lira around every October/November is somehow the result of a higher presence of the term "Turkey" in the media before Thanksgiving.

yes, I am (a bit) serious :) :)

Indeed I would doubt any modern "smart" predictive model would not take into account the frequency of that term in communication (from the news to even search terms in a search engine).

Summary: For moving blacks from poverty to the middle class, nothing outperforms Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Key takeaways:

- "The unique contribution of this study is to examine students from the bottom two quintiles of household income ($46,000 or less)—and then find out how many later make it into the third quintile or above."

- "While HBCUs educate only 10% of all African-American college students, HBCU grads account for 80% of black judges, 50% of black doctors and 50% of black lawyers."

- "An HBCU graduate working full-time throughout his career will earn $927,000 more when compared to non-college goers and black students at non-HBCUs."
I'm aware that we are not on the gold standard. I'm also aware that money supply is a number that is closely tracked. I'm also aware that countries get in trouble when they try to print new money to get out of a crisis. That's about the extent of my understanding.
I was thinking about it as well. May I ask how you figured out what products to build? Did you stick to the same business domain, learned about their problems, and then built a product?
Right, there’s not way to know that without the clinical trials that are required even for small formulation changes, our quantitative understanding of biology is not that good.

But there’s plenty of supply chain and manufacturing aspects of the approval that seem like wouldn’t need any more stringency than the ongoing monitoring for the currently approved vaccines, from my lay persons perspective anyway

Your calculation needs to take loss in quality of life due to a) contracting long COVID, b) suffering a COVID-induced stroke, or c) living with brain damage post-COVID into account. Furthermore, you should consider that mutations will run rampant if laissez-faire policies are implemented; a variant with increased lethality might come along and cut your life short.
Which variants survive in the wild is natural selection. Too deadly and it kills the host before spreading. The viruses that spread the most are the ones least noticed.

Example: common cold viruses. They're essentially always there and only make you sick when your immune system weakens a bit, and goes away quickly as well.
