Can I trade my wine in the weekend? Ah no, sorry, stock market is closed then.

Can I trade my wine at 5pm? Ah no, European wine stock market is closed then.

When you really 'own' the ticket, you can trade it anywhere you want, without being dependent on some exchange that's only open whenever and takes some fixed cut without any competition.
> Totally crushes Apple with straight up numbers and pure unadulterated objectivity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtd7UzLJHrU

I don't know a lot about either of these monitors, but I don't find it surprising at all that a 30,000€ monitor would be better than a 6000€ monitor. Saying that the reviewer objectively crushes apple by using these two monitors in a comparison seems quite misleading.
I mean, that video is comparing it against a Sony HX310, which costs $30,000. If you have a budget of $30,000 to spend on a single monitor, by all means, go for it.
> Besides, it isn't that expensive.

Okay, but the argument was that it should be "extremely expensive".

> It's only expensive when compared to the US system where you in most states are only paying for a piece of plastic, not tens of hours of people's time training you properly.

I definitely paid my driving instructor. The labor cost at the licensing bureau was only about 15 worker-minutes.
I liked the old internet where people posted content out of passion not for money. The quality has suffered and many think they have a right to get paid.
A few years ago, Turkey's president tayipp, made comments about how Turks were invading Germany and Holland through breeding, since they wouldn't let him come throw political rallies there.
I'd argue there's a difference between planned obsolescence and products that are of such a nature that it's just about impossible to pull them apart. (Now, whether that means the latter category of products is defensible is a different question)
You can argue that (and I'd generally agree in most cases above a certain complexity size) about dynamic vs any static language though?
Found something non-paywalled, its in German though, might need to Google translate it: http://blog.prof-x.de/2018/08/26/gehoerresonanzen/
> According to a Google Drive link posted in the YouTube video's description, Cacioppo allegedly spoke with a person who said he was 15 years old on Grindr, the social networking app for gay, bi, trans and queer people.

I bet you could take half the conversations that occur via that app and call the feds over them.
> So 6 years is actually a very short window to claim causality

They're not claiming causality.
If you are writing some very important function, you may write it in assembly and it will be faster than e.g. a C implementation (CPU). But how often do you do that? I think of e.g. CUDA as assembly for the GPU as you have to know about batch size, and special operations and annotations, but Futhark is like writing C or Java for the GPU (it actually compiles to CPUs as well), and it is just a much nicer experience, and I think 99.9% of all people will write faster code because GPUs are simply so complex
Ok, I understand it cannot be comparable with a 5k iMac. But is text good enough? with €5k+ I can build a pretty serious linux rig with a couple of 4k monitors and keep the macbook air m1 just for mobile use. It's a shame that my 10+ years old macbook pro with High Sierra can render text better on any external monitor than my brand new air m1.
It's not quite the same. Cloudflare aren't going to rejig their global service every time someone wants to benchmark their code.
There are two logical somersaults embedded with the crypto scene in its various mutations over the last decade that undermine the whole proposition irrespective of any other value system or vision.

* That digital decentralization is somehow equivalent to the tightly coupled blockchain architecture. In fact, if people were empowered to run their own "nodes" in a display of increasingly scarce digital self-sovereignty, there are infinite possible ways to connect devices over http (or gopher or ftp any other protocol the future may spawn). NB: The web was born decentralized. Many of those ways will arguably be much more useful in solving real problems as they do not put artificial constraints on how information flow is organized.

* That one can create artificial digital scarcity and put the genie of zero marginal cost back in the bottle. In fact already the very proliferation of thousand of cryptocurrency variants shows that digital scarcity could only ever be achieved by oppressive means. This is the very social malfunction purportedly (some) adherents of crypto are fighting against.

Why are we still talking about a set of ideas that is so distorted and orthogonal to both the true nature of the digital medium and our needs? Blame it on the self-financing juggernaut of bitcoin that triggered every possible speculative instinct out there, whether a new generation of noise day-traders, widows or orphans or professional blood-suckers.
The reality is that programming with a language like Rust or C++ takes a higher level of expertise, those are more sophisticated tools than web technology.

You need to invest a lot more to use the tool well, but then the tool can do a lot more.
Top 31 Buzzwords That Employees Truly Hate
They've changed that, but so far I've only seen the change on French Wikipedia. I think they test it on us before broader release.
An excellent explanation. Unable to participate
Reader mode is good though, when available
No, the basic problem is ownership rights over physical objects can't be enforced without coercive power, but blockchains and smart contracts can't use coercive power, therefore they would have to rely on an external entity to enforce such rights. But then the system is no longer "trustless", "permissionless", or "censorship-resistant", and therefore we have none of the supposed benefits of blockchains but we do have all of the inconveniences, which means at this point we're better off with a centrally-managed registry which at least is cost-effective.
> Off-ramping is a non-issue.

It is. The moment any of those fictional tokens are used for anything other than meaningless exchanges with other fictional tokens, they are worthless. For now they are only perpetuating their perceived self-worth.

> It's like saying the stock market is worthless

Stock market is almost entirely worthless. It's the same speculation not rooted in objective reality.
Is the idea that multiple people are looking at a product supposed to inspire me to purchase it? I really struggle to understand the logic.
Ask HN: Best VR headset for productivity? (multiple screens, etc.)
Hi! I just bought an Oculus Quest 2 to try out VR. I figured that enough games looked fun (e.g. Eleven Table Tennis) and it might offer a productivity boost (via an app like Immersed).

I noticed that the Oculus Quest 2 almost seems to be there, but the DPI seems to be a bit lower than I'd like. I do think I'd be able to get used to it, so it's not too much of a problem. With that said, I do think there's a lot of room for improvement there.

So my question to you is: according to you which VR headset is the best for productivity?

I don't have the money for it, but I figure that one could really pack a punch with the Varjo XR 3 (multiple screens in AR). The pricing isn't really consumer friendly though.
I doubt that people were building paper planes thousands of years ago given the fact that cheap

Just need a tiny, stable black hole and some way of containing it. And then some way of scaling up the Casimir effect away from nanoscale electron microscopy.

Maybe you could create a collider scale facility and warp particles? From what I can understand, there's nothing wrong in principle, it's just that the conditions are currently absurdly beyond our reach.
Would be interesting to see what the effect with tadalafil is. Sildenafil is rather short acting while tadalafil is much longer acting. Tadalafil is also used in smaller but daily doses as a treatment for benign prostrate hyperplasia, so there should be more data on longer durations of use and effect.

> Twitter agrees

The worst argument ever. Of course it agrees, it is an echo chamber full of terminally online people where you can find any type of opinion unless it was specifically banned by Twitter admins.
You can do all those things without a blockchain. It's just more practical using a blockchain.

I used to survive without a cellphone. It wasn't hard. You just called your friends when you and they were at home.
Conversion to PowerPoint messed up my equations. But thank you for the suggestion :)

Yes but the impact of a wasm buffer overflow is completely different to a C buffer overflow. A C buffer overflow can (sometimes) let you execute arbitrary code. A wasm one will just result in data corruption.

That data corruption may be exploitable (e.g. if it lets you overwrite a password) but those kinds of attacks are much much rarer than the kind that wasm prevents.
It was more of a $1500 external display ;-)
On one hand, the murderboard guy raised the kind of valid concerns that make an engineer great.

On the other, I really don't like units that pride themselves on being difficult to the point of abuse. It's often glorified in film, but completely unnecessary in real life. You can have high standards without being mean.

In any case, this was an excellent story.

In my opinion, text rendering on 4k@27'' is nowhere near sharp enough. In my experience there isn't a continuum from low-dpi to high-dpi, but rather there's a sharp transition where text suddenly becomes sharp and 4k@27'' is below that line.

In fact, once you see these new 280dpi displays, even 5k@27'' barely makes the cut. I wish it were sharper.

Since you're on HN, I'll give you the benefit of assuming you're working a nice, solid, salaried job.

Retail is hell. It's the worst on-call you've ever experienced times a thousand.

If you haven't worked retail in the last few years, I'd actually suggest doing the following: Go on the dating app of your choice and put out that you're legit looking for coffee with folks who work hourly retail jobs. You're vaguely tech adjacent, you can automate those swipes. Literally just ask people who match with you to tell their worst experience in retail.

Ask those retail folks: Are you trained enough? Are you understaffed? Does your manager give a shit? Do you actually get the tips you're supposed to get? If you could walk away right now, would you?

Invite 'em to have a coffee/tea, etc in some public place. Talk about what's going on. Genuinely give a shit. What you'll learn is that most hourly retail folks are living hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck. A friend of mine in college was making $7.70 an hour as a shift manager at a Taco Bell. The straw that broke the camel's back was when his manager suggested he take a *decrease in pay* and an *increase in hours* in exchange for "maybe getting salaried". He left and now is paid $35/hr to sell marijuana.

As someone who works a salaried job at a MANGA/FAANG Forbes Top 100, I feel that some of us lose sight of what our retail-facing hourly folk are actually doing. Retail folks get the most abuse from both sides that I've seen.

Last week, in the grocery near me, I looked at a dude who was mad about a few labels being misaligned, screaming until he was red in the face at an employee about how he was being ripped off, about how this was terrible. It wasn't until I walked over and (legitimately wanting the thing he was mad over) asked him to politely shut up and get over himself for not reading that he stopped, stomping out of the store. This store, like many others, basically demand that these people be happy in the face of abject abuse. The security at the door? That's only for shoplifting. Being a complete jerk to the floor workers? Not that poor fuck's job, and they can be reprimanded for stopping a fight from happening.

In the face of [Nine dollar paychecks for 70 hours of work](https://www.today.com/food/working-mom-received-9-paycheck-7...), a [rising wage theft issue that accounts for billions in unpaid wages](https://www.epi.org/publication/employers-steal-billions-fro...), it's no wonder that [suicide rates of retail workers is going up](https://archive.md/VrvBu).
Being less wrong is probably as good as it ever gets.

Hover; The easiest navigate through links without leaving your current tab
Hover’s chrome extension saves your time by letting you view a link’s content or a plain text by just hovering over it without opening it in a new tab.

1. Hover to view a link: Whether you are scrolling through a social media newsfeed, an e-commerce catalog, or even a mere link you have received, Hover lets you view the content of the link without leaving your current tab. Hover over any link for 2 seconds to view the content in a lightweight popup box. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. Hover on a link-> Indulge on the content as a pop up-> click on the parent screen when you are done and continue on the same tab.

2. Hover on a selected text to research-> You want to do a quick google look up on a certain text/phrase without leaving your current tab? Stop wasting your time opening a new tab and copy/paste to search. Hover lets you look up the text via a lightweight popup by mere hovering over the text after you select it.

3. Hot Key to research: Press CTRL+SHIFT+H to access the hover pop up to do a quick google search without leaving your current tab.
Scotty, did you install the new NVIDIA warp card?

Och, Cap'n, they're still sayin' delivery is delayed due to supply chain disruption!
I think instead of reading what I wrote, you read "you need a blockchain to do this".

The anti-blockchain narrative on here is constantly attacking the strawman of "literally everything must be decentralised".

I'm arguing that a decentralised medium of exchange through which separate points of centralisation can interact is still a useful construct.

You're comfortable with your assets being codified in a thousand different databases in a thousand different representations but the concept of having a common database representing them as "meaningless numbers" is suddenly unacceptable.
I disagree. I used trackers for decades but I’ll take piano roll any day.
I like that you felt you needed to point out that a supervolcano explosion would be worse than oatmeal on the wall.
We need better definitions then. Apple uses 1440p/1600p on laptop screens. At normal viewing distances using that on a 14" laptop and 4K on a 27 inch external screen works perfectly with the same scaling. I know because that's what I use with just font scaling that's the same across screens. With my work 14" 1080p Windows laptop 2x scaling is needed on the external screen. If 4K 27" is not HiDPI what do we call 1080p in that size which is still the normal resolution for those screens?
There’s a lot of debate on this. So here is my spin. Charge them $1000 to not turn up. Why? Because by not turning up they get used to figuring it out without you which is long term more valuable for resilience and beneficial to them.
The internet is not decentralised name one application or website which does not require a server in the middle between two clients.

Edit: but I agree there are already ways Web3 things can be done, and decentralization can be done without blockchain - the question I think is whether this impressive engineering is better than the existing ways
Cool product. saves you from opening tons of tabs.
Uhm well, I upgraded from a Cinema Display. Granted the LG has a plastic frame, but I've paid for 3 replacement glass screens for my Cinema Displays because they chip so easily.

Color-wise, the LG is fantastic - and I was very skeptical about getting it. The old one wasn't very good when I compared it side by side with an iMac Pro (Apple Store, Union Street, SF). I'm not sure if they changed the screen quality, but it seems on par, if not better than my old Cinema Display.

EDIT: yeah, my first purchase was via Amazon as "Used - Like New", which turned out to be a 2 year old model that couldn't talk to the Mac. I found a new one at a great price via eBay which works great, but the manual was in Cyrillic...
Are you seriously claiming Ethereum has invented futures contracts? Futures contracts have been around for decades, maybe even centuries.
There is a macroscale non-warp solution for that already available in the form of normal bullets. No need to make it more complex by adding microscopic warp particles.
Just because they say he would be fired does not make it so. We don't know what sort of follow-up torture was planned if the original poster didn't just up and leave.
> the one place I find Rust truly a joy to write is OS dev, and similar low-level projects

That's what Rust actually is useful for. And what C++ should have been used for. It has grown in the abomination it is, because the people (well, yes, me too ;) abused it as language for 'everything'. I do actually fear that the same will happen to Rust.

Btw. most people use Rust to write web services because most people actually write web services ;)
Viagra/sildenafil no longer requires a prescription in the UK, so I'm now imagining public health advertising campaigns telling older people to remember their Viagra.
The difference is that you can pick the exchange where you trade your token. Because the ownership of the token is really yours.

If the central party charges 1% transaction fee, it's a 1% transaction fee. If they only open on weekdays, you can't trade in the weekend, etc.

When it's your token, you can trade it wherever you want.
You'd still need the old wikipedia to edit any articles and you'd still need a browser extension to redirect regular wikipedia links to your favorite frontend.

Also just like with open source projects, just because you are allowed to fork does not mean that you should as you could end up hurting the original project by e.g. confusing users.

The title and the final sentence of the first paragraph made me think I'd be happier not reading on. Anyone braver than me want to summarize what I'm missing or just tell me it's as depressing as I assume.
The fact that you can't trade on weekends is not because some technological problem, it's because there's no demand for trading on weekends. Do you think the technology suddenly stops working on weekends?
I have a 4k 27" LG monitor and it is awesome with my Mac. I use it with 150% scale and the font is ultra sharp, best monitor I've ever seen so far
Most people are not like you.
Angular resolution is much more important than the actual surface DPI. Depending on you viewing distances and the quality of your vision 4K on a 14" laptop is needed or 1080p on a 27" screen is more than enough. Your requirements are extreme compared to most.

This flavor of moralistic grand standing with respect to ads is prevalent on HN and I just don’t get it. It is so obviously not rational.

Why do you get to decide what is “right”? What funding model do you propose that is superior? How and why do you think labor happens (I.e. it’s motivation)? What is the harm done to you or others? Why don’t you just withhold your patronage if you’re so offended (instead of performative moralizing in HN comments)?

This idea that advertising is innately bad is a near religion among some on this site, and, like religion, it appears as those its adherents haven’t really thought through the implications of their beliefs in a holistic way.
If that's how low the bar is set then most of the US media would be legally liable for the war in Iraq.
I think that you are being unreasonable. Logic gives you zero demo trial period and its price is significantly higher. Most audio software is relatively expensive, if you have any experience, which I doubt given your claim that this competes with audacity. Audacity competes with Ntrack, perhaps. This competes with Ableton or Bitwig. Go check their prices
Ableist? Why does the US always ruin perfectly fine English words (if it's the one I'm thinking of)? In French for example there's no negative connotation for the same word, it's what you use if you're late for something...

There's also a lot of perfectly fine technical uses for the word: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/retard

I mean, go on any highway in Canada and there will be sections where 'retarder' breaks aren't allowed. Those going to get cancelled?

Edit - also associating people with mental disability with that word was a slang usage in the first place, it was never the primary usage.
I think Apple is trying to force the hand of monitor manufacturers towards 4k or higher. The entire external monitor industry is such a no-innovation, customer-hostile dumpster fire.

Buy the GHR1050PQS75-UHW204773! It’s got garbage white uniformity, terrible black levels and IPS glow, cheap plastic housing and settings software that feels like it was created in 1994. Wirecutter recommended!

Compare this to the TV industry, where you can get amazing picture quality with OLED and at least somewhat decent levels of software competence.

Meanwhile desktop monitors (something most of us spend 8 hours a day in front of) are stuck using 30 year old LCD tech and most aren’t even 4k yet.

The entire PowerPoint/excel crowd seemingly has no problem spending most of their waking hours staring at giant pixels all day, even if the laptop screen they have sitting next to the monitor has almost 3X the pixel density.
Do you mind sharing the details like amount of crypto(s) / USD, interest rates, repayment terms etc.

You could scale all money numbers (not durations please) by a factor if you prefer.

I'm interested to see a real-life example
I ordered one with blue switches but they came brown by mistake. Very cheap keyboard, from the brand RedDragon. It was my first, and I really like the feel. I was actually glad for the mixup, because the brown is pretty noise already. I'm afraid I'll wakeup my wife when I type during the night, or even the neighbors!

Blue switches would be a nightmare.
