How new Linux users can increase their odds of success
This is already happening; centralized exchanges and staking pools like Kraken make up a high percentage of ETH2 validators (just as PoW seems to gravitate toward large mining pools).

Despite that, PoS has the benefit of offering decentralized staking pools like RocketPool, and the fact that they are growing may indicate that the chain will over time become more decentralized and less able to be centrally attacked[1]. The PoS mechanism itself is also perhaps more resilient to these kind of attacks, see [2].

None of this mechanism is as simple as PoW (which has worked quite well for BTC and ETH so far), but the environmental cost makes it worth exploring an alternative mechanism.

> Both support PC but only Bedrock supports other plattforms.

Both support windows, but only Java supports other open platforms (where you can install external software, like Linux and Mac PCs, or others OSes/HW architectures).

Bedrock is only published on closed platforms (games consoles, mostly, and app stores) and windows.

Java is the only edition that supports mods.

The android version of bedrock is also unofficially playable on Linux.
Why is the base case 3? H(1) contains one colour of horse. H(2) when removing one horse contains one colour of horse.

The problem afaics is that there is a supposition that we are talking about sets of horses with the same colour. So if you "suppose for all sets of n horses, every horse in the set has the same color" then you can prove that horses in that set have the same colour. If P then P.
I am curious. Do you think it was just the 'how' that got this result? More specifically, if they opened with an actual money offer or grudgingly moved to that point eventually, do you think you would sell it. Or was the relationship kinda strained to begin with.

> transcoding and finding the damn things

I'm sorry, this is bullshit.

I spend _less_ time if I torrent stuff.

Example: I want to watch the last season of Expanse. Ok, go to iTunes (Apple TV). Nope, not there (Australia). Hmmm, may be Netflix? Nope. I remember it was by Amazon or smth? Oh yeah, it's in Prime.

How much time did I just spend? And I also must pay for all of those?

Torrents:

- go to my favourite tracker

- search, find bunch of options from SD to HD with bunch of audio tracks and subtitles that not a single commercial pos offers

- copy magnet link

- paste in transmission UI

- done, took less than 3 minutes.

Whenever I feel like watching it, open Infuse on iPhone and watch it from my Emby.
I quite like the idea of being skeptical of something but still hedging on its potential success. Thanks
The Veloren developers seem to have forgotten to provide a page of information _anywhere_ giving a non-negligible overview of what the game is about. The main website has little more than a paragraph listing some other games as inspiration, followed by some Minecraft-like screenshots. It also has a manual which is clearly focused on developers and contributors, as it provides next to no information for a new person who just wants to know a bit more about the game without having to actually download it. How is it similar to Dwarf Fortress? How is it similar to Minecraft? How is it different? What do you do in it? Why is it so much work just to find an overview of the game and what it has to offer?

At least Singapore and Dubai allow money to be laundered officially.
I've pushed java far past its breaking point in previous modded minecraft worlds (30 second GC every 30 seconds, some AE2 leak when millions of items are stored).

I like many aspects of bedrock edition, most related to performance. I want a gregtech-like experience in bedrock so badly that I'd go as far as making it myself. I just wish the command interface wasn't so janky. When I've done test blocks and interactions in the past I've run into limitations that would prevent my vision. This was maybe 18 months ago, so I don't think much has changed yet.
I tried a bunch of additional keywords before asking. I also did think of "Single Page App" but I doubted how it could be relevant.
Maybe it should be accepted that the dominant form of "desktop Linux" will be Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL, especially WSL 2), now that WSL accommodates Linux GUI programs.

How do you measure that? I'm sure there are some overpriced sets but overall the set prices don't seem particularly excessive to me.

> Lego has serious competition: Cada and Mould King

They might be fun for adults, but they are absolutely awful for children. Even as an adult I just despise Mould King in particular. The building instructions are non creative, the designs are largely stolen and you're almost guaranteed missing pieces.
I agree that posters need to be careful about undefined acronyms, but, pro-tip, you can always check Wikipedia for overloaded terms to narrow down to the right one. Here it will give you a section for the meanings in the context of computing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPA

Edit: also, I suspect you’re being cheeky there, because when I Google “SPA”, the top results are local spas (even in private mode), and thus not “places to go for a holiday/vacation”, as if you only guessed what a Google search would give and had decided to make a joke about the ambiguity and most common lay meaning of (case-insensitive) SPA, rather than express an actual frustration at an honest attempt to look up the meaning of that term.

That's because you have erroneously conflated several different variables. A diesel generator is by far the cheapest way to generate that much power.

ex: caddy felt the same, but that may have also changed post acquisition

Well of course, I didn't give instructions on how to write a Regular Expression to parse legal contracts, I assumed that OP would still apply the semantic rules of English to his reading
Well I wish that is true. But It isn't actually your property. You are only purchasing a perpetual right to use that item under the terms and condition. It is the sad state of things Silicon Valley decided ownership is no longer a thing and everything should be "service", so they gain the control of all asset management right.

There is some part of me that increasingly hate Silicon Valley.
There's more than one technical meaning. One is web-related and another is cryptography-related. All possibly relevant.
So that people can install and update the tools via the same habits they’ve already learned.

> Users who can’t do that shouldn’t be using CLI

Users who can do that will still find it an odd departure from convention.
There's a question that isn't answered and that's why would users care about those details of the backend. In the end, a solution can be as technologically elegant as you want, but the thing it really needs to do is improve from the users' point of view. And I don't think it does.

For most people, a decentralized platform will usually be worse (speed, latency), and only very rarely better, than a centralized server. The "paying to access a database" will introduce a lot of issues both for users and developers, no matter how you implement it, for barely any user-facing improvement. And centralized processors appeared to make things easier, so you'd need a payment platform that is as least as easy and, also, that protects you against scams (AFAIK, you can't do too much if someone steals your crypto wallet or you forget the password).

So while I agree that web3 could provide identify + payments, it doesn't need to be technically elegant, but user-facing elegant.
Don't leave anything of significance walled in behind a Google, Apple, Amazon, or really any other account. Only physically accessible copies of your data belong to you. Everything I upload to "a" cloud, I immediately mirror to my backup rig. Do the same, don't trust.
Interesting article. I think the reasoning about multiple identities and adresses is spot on, as is the use of signature and stamps to limit spam.

I do think, however, that use case of receiving mail from strangers is a much bigger case and can't be handwaved away.

I was thinking of something similar lately, coming at it from the social networks angle. I was thinking about personas in social network setting (what google+ attempted with circles), ownership of your data and social links, and the thought process led me to something very similar to what OP is describing.
It's probably not, but how many people are willing to go to court? Something similar happened to me in Germany in 2020. I consulted a lawyer and gave up. Going to court for someone with my personality is a very harmful process, and there is still no assurance I'd win.
The insane resurgence of vinyl records
They do have a collaboration with Ikea on some storage boxes for kids. Sadly those boxes are way too small to be useful (the smallest box should really be the current largest box). They should also make a table with storage and a base plate on to, we ended up making our own using an Ikea table, a large base plate and glue.
One way Microsoft improved the product was to remove all mentions of Markus "It's OK To Be White" Persson's name from the game.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_Persson#Controversy

>Controversy

>Persson has received criticism for political and social opinions he has expressed on Twitter, such as referring to feminism as a "social disease" and claiming that most feminists are "overtly sexist against men."[50][51] In June 2017, Persson faced criticism for referring to video game developer Zoë Quinn as a "cunt".[50] Later in June 2017, he tweeted in support of a heterosexual pride day, calling opponents to the idea "cunts" and stating that they "deserve to be shot".[51] After facing backlash, he deleted the tweets and rescinded his statements, writing "So yeah, it's about pride of daring to express, not about pride of being who you are. I get it now."[52] In November 2017, Persson was criticized for posting a tweet which reads "It's ok to be white."[53] In follow-up tweets, he said he believed privilege is a "made up metric".[54]

>A March 2019 Minecraft update removed all mentions of Persson from the game's menu, though his name is still in the credits.[55] Microsoft did not explain this action, but its timing led multiple news outlets to conclude it was related to the controversies associated with him.[55][56] Persson was not invited to the game's tenth anniversary event later that year, with Microsoft saying that his views "do not reflect those of Microsoft or Mojang".[8][57] Microsoft then dissociated from Persson due to his controversial comments on his Twitter account.[8]

Hell yeah. Some rare older sets that aren't sold anymore can go several times their original price, especially in mint condition.

I guess Lego saw the huge markups on the second hand market and thought they were selling themselves short and so decided to capitalized on it themselves instead of the sellers, by raising prices and focusing more on limited edition sets with various IP branding partnerships, turning what was once a kid's toy into a collector's item or even a potential investment opportunity.

It's just corporations being corporations.
"in the course of" meaning, related to. personal work on personal time is not 'In the course of" employment. It's that latter bit that the GP is obviously asking about. The contract he linked has especially egegrious language.

It's not worth negotiating IMO. Any employer that even tries to get such language in is showing their cards.

Once you have the equipment and the knowledge, it takes around $2 of electronics to turn any random simple device into a smart device. Speaking for myself at least, it took around $1000 of tools and 3 months of trial-and-error self-teaching to reach that point…

Definitely good fun though :)
When Google does this it is fully expected, IMO there is never an expectation of customer support with Google with any of their products. That is, they have no good reputation to keep or to lose when it comes to customer service (imagine calling Gmail or YouTube as this user did).

If Apple goes down this path it will literally destroy the company, customer service is one of the most important competitive advantages they have.

The executive team that answered this email should be focused primarily on ensuring it never happens again as we speak.
I've used it with a 3070. I love it. Getting it running requires a little reading and experimenting rather than a toggle in a menu, but when it's running it's wonderful.

You mean this?

California Labor Code Section 2870 provides as follows:

Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either: (1) relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or (2) result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under California Labor Code Section 2870(a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.

Will it be relevant to UK employment too?
That isn't what he said – just it's the employer's by default. So get a contract that makes your outside work explicitly yours.

Austrailia decriminalised gay sexual activity in 1973.

Other neighbouring countries, Indonesia by comparision (aside from Aceh) has no law against it, nor does Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, East Timor (that's not to say LGBT people don't suffer obstacles and discrimination in those states, but all are more progressed legally).

Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Myanmar are the holdouts in SE Asia.

Reality probably means that LGBT is more acceptable in Singapore than in some of those countries, but the law really should catch up.

Ask HN: How to implement parental oversight for web user accounts?
Say, a mother has an account on an educational web platform. She now wants her 12 year old daughter to also use the platform. But as the daughter is a minor, her mother wants an oversight into the daughter's account to identify bullying, threats and abuse.

How would a web authentication and account management system be built for this requirement? What should be taken into consideration when building such a system?

One way to achieve this is to let more than one person access the account(in the above example both mother and daughter can access the daughter's account, even simultaneously). But this could give rise to lot of security issues. How does one mitigate that? Or are there better ways to implement parental oversight into web accounts?
Hey! Well, that's a coincidence! :)

Initially I thought you'd be setting yourself up for getting sued. It being your second name might complicate matters though. In any case, it will certainly cause confusion!
Dogecoin is a copy+paste of bitcoin with a few config values changed.

That's why it shares the inflationary model.

The reason bitcoin is often described as deflationary is that many coins are lost, and the inflation is somewhat priced-in.

The value of every BB(n) is well-defined in ZFC. It can't change if we consider a stronger (and consistent) theory than ZFC. Proving that BB(n) equals to a concrete integer is a different matter – it's either possible or not within your theory.
I clearly wrote:

Plus, if we're still arguing the logic, how exactly does symptomatic/asymptomatic make any kind of difference here? You fail to explain how I'm "completely wrong". Asymptomatic spread is what's made Covid overall so transmissible in the first place, it's not a feature particular to Delta.

The recipe for a successful virus is one that spreads easily. Viruses don't have any particular drive to kill (or even hurt) hosts. The less it hurts us the less we give a shit and the more we allow it to spread.

Just look at Covid now. If it didn't kill people we would never have put up any measures and everyone would've had it many times over already.

But from there if it were to mutate into a variant that starts hurting people, we would start putting measures in place to stop it. Evolution-wise that variant wouldn't do as well as the first one.
