There are now countless studies showing lockdowns don’t work and that the PCR tests used to detect covid are next to useless (primarily because the cycle count is way too high). The only statistically significant predictors of covid outbreaks seems to be the level of vaccination, but not in the way you think. The vaccinated countries have more covid, not less. Look into it. The second is widespread use of ivermectin, which absolutely nukes the virus. Look at Peru before and after they outlawed the use of ivermectin and Japan.

And yes, they are concentration camps and Australia is a police state.

We’ll see just how “temporary” those concentration camps are too… probably as temporary as the patriot act from 2001 that’s renewed every six months like clockwork.
> With bitcoin is more complicated, because trying to control self-custody is basically trying to ban maths. All you need is an internet connection and some google to find software capable of self-custody. Hell, you can do that with excel if you really want to.

That would be a shame if the software you downloaded stole the coins from you wouldn't it? Or if your ECDSA implementation in Excel contained a typo and you lost everything.

The only reason cryptography ban in the 90s failed was because everybody in the business world needed to have access to strong crypto for to use security reasons. If people had to roll their own crypto, the NSA cryptanalysts would have had a really fun time because almost all of them would have been utterly broken.

No, they should work towards not being poor. For example by starting businesses that are run in the way they like.

Even if you make the argument that the individuals are too poor to do anything, if they would pool their money they would be able to start businesses.
Well no, not an actual computer algorithm. There might be a linguistic case for a classical human-powered algorithm, if we extend it past things like logic problems: "a set of instructions for solving a problem or completing a process/task." But even as a mathematical concept, people were creating and applying the idea of an algorithm literally thousands of years ago because we're the original computer, right...so...kind of a throwback here lol
You know what else is selfless, free, and easy?

Self quarantining. We know for a fact this works.

You can't spread the virus if you don't come in to contact with others -- minus animal transmission.

Given the vaccinated can still get infected and spread the disease, it begs the question if they're not being totally selfish by not self quarantining at the expense of everyone else?

Their “philosophy of total compensation” used to actually penalize you for past RSU grants appreciating beyond projection. Even with a strong review you’d hear things like you can’t get a salary bump, because you’re already over your target compensation. I wonder if that’s still the case.
Less lethal or more slowly lethal? HIV is no less lethal now than it was decades ago. It spreads without issues because it kills the host a few years after infection instead of immediately. But HIV is as much of a death sentence today for people who do not seek or do no have access to treatments as it was 30 years ago.
clang -S -emit-llvm xyz.cpp generates an optnone attribute.

This is an excellent post and I'm excited that my post on handling CSVs in AWK[1] at least somewhat inspired it.

Some responses here are missing the idea that csvquote enables the use of CSV files with standard UNIX tools like AWK, head and so on. If you are building some data processing pipeline then converting to a binary format makes sense, but I'm not sure that is where tools like this shine either. It's for a different case.

This makes him more qualified in my eyes to write about crypto currency. He's bearish on it. I'd be a fool not to listen to all sides of the argument.
Whenever Bitcoin is an option I pay in Bitcoin. Standard Notes for example, allows you to pay in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.

Check out the Lightning network, it's much more about currency/goods/services as a Bitcoin service.

One should consider that breakthroughs in longevity research would be disastrous for humanity. The first to benefit from it will be the super rich, and various dictators. Economic inequality will rise, Stalins, Maos, Kim Ir Sens will rule without end.

The fact that politicians and the media were talking about Wall Street ten years ago during the Great Recession, and talked about it less after economies started to recover, is not all that surprising.

Similarly, the fact that politicians and the media are talking about big tech at a time when social media is being used to (depending on your politics) plan insurrections or deplatform the most important person in the world, doesn't seem like a misdirection from more relevant stories.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting is the purpose of these narratives, but I think you need to be careful that you're not implying that there is a sinister group of people who control the world's media, financial, and political systems, and are using that control to direct people towards "scapegoats" to distract the public from their own nefarious plots.
It only makes sense to talk about "buying power" when you can actually exchange a thing for goods and services which are priced in that thing. That doesn't apply to bitcoin, but it does to the dollar. This isn't arbitrary.

Efforts to control cryptocurrency may be doomed to failure but the reason would be because a critical mass of rich and powerful people own them and thus will not allow them to be de-valued.

Your reasoning that it's "the maths" that makes crypto unassailable shows a lack of understanding of how governments exercise power and control. The law does not care about your worldview and geeky conception of the abstract mathematical nature of cryptography—and guess what—they don't have to: it's purely a question of enforceability.

The different between encryption and cryptocurrency is that the former cannot be targeted, but the latter can. Consider the purpose of encryption: to make communication between 2 or more individuals private. This can happen in many different ways, from whispering in ones ear, to using postcards w/ one-time pads. It can't be regulated because there's no stable target, any group of people that needs privacy can rig up their own scheme independent of all others and change it as necessary. The value they derive is directly from the privacy and depends unqiuely on each situation. The only way for a government to defeat this is through oppressive totalitarianism with direct threat of violence and imprisonment.

Cryptocurrency on the other hand has no direct utility other than its monetary value, and that monetary value is a direct function of the global belief in that value. It would be exceedingly easy for a government to make a specific cryptocurrency illegal because the mechanisms are concrete and public—you can't just swap out the maths for a new implementation. In other words governments can outlaw and devalue cryptocurrencies faster than you can establish and build trust in them.

Not that I think this will happen in practice because governments are already taxing cryptocurrency and riding that gravy train as well. But the fact that they are able to tax it is clear evidence that cryptocurrency is not in fact above the law.

I would still prefer something that appreciates in value over long term, like bitcoin (https://www.statista.com/statistics/326707/bitcoin-price-ind...) over something that looses value over long term, like $dollar (https://www.officialdata.org/us/inflation/1800?amount=1)

This might change in the future but as long as we're sticking to the past performance, bitcoin doesn't need defending. It's vastly superior to $dollar.

I think this says that mortality appears to be lower for Omicron, and that the need for oxygen treatment is lower in severe Omicron cases. Looking forward to Fauci not talking about this ever.
Up until the end of the 90s, Microsoft stock was booming enough that it was reasonable for them to compensate employees with less salary and more stock options. They survived the .com crash, but the stock basically flatlined for several years, making options not desirable as compensation. At some point, I think in the mid to late 2000s, they switched to higher salaries and actual stock grants instead of options. So there were a few years where it was paying less than other companies, but they corrected for it.
> The notion that somehow aging is “special” and therefore shouldn’t be regulated like “normal” diseases is not convincing. The same argument could be made about any number of other conditions. For example cancer – for years we’ve been told it’s not one disease but hundreds of diseases, and therefore we need to think about it differently. And yet, cancer medications including personalized therapies such as CAR-T seem perfectly capable of getting approved within the existing framework of the FDA.

This seems to miss the main point about regulation that the longevity researchers face. Aging is not recognized as a disease by the FDA, so aging treatments are not allowed to have the same treatment and development pipeline.
To 'be regulated like “normal” diseases' is in fact what many longevity companies would benefit from.

Who say things should start magically? Isn't HN a place were we hear a lot of stories about how hard it is to start a company?

You never know. While working in an ITAM role, I've had a manager point out a line item asking why we need 30 DisplayPort cables. This was in an org with multiple sites, 2000+ employees, using dual monitor setups both in house and remote. Whether physically, or in the cloud, companies whose primary business isn't tech-related see the IT side as an annoying cost center rather than a cost of doing business in the 21st century.

That's the story people tell themselves, not the value proposition. The actual value proposition is/was it's an appreciating asset and FOMO.

Chess.com has the "personality bots" that supposedly play with the style of various well-known players, streamers, and GMs.

But I remember watching Hikaru Nakamura stream once playing through each of these bots (and beating them fairly easily). He commented that several of the bots were doing things the real players would never do, both in style and even the opening move (1.e4 for a player that almost always opens 1.d4)

It was fairly early after the personality bots came out, so maybe they've fixed it by now.
Hmmm, maybe I had bad examples, my point was that we rely a lot in our daily life that other people do their job right and that even if they don't there will be checks in place that catch problems.

We even rely on organizations and parties to lobby for our interests.

So we kind of accept that we need to rely on other people.

I probably should have said "We relay that the people in the restaurant know how to cook and keep their ingriedients clean and fresh and we rely on checks that catches mistakes"?
