The internet there is not great. I will say I don't know how good Starlink's internet is but the idea of like being on a random island/boat and having internet... that's pretty nice. It sounds like a dumb dream as I'm afraid to travel but it's a bridge I will cross at some point. Have blood-families there though they're practically strangers to me as I haven't had contact with them for almost 20 years.

My father (why I exist) was an expat/had kids with random women but he had money in a poor country. I wouldn't feel safe being in that situation (as a yes man). Somehow the dude had a 60' sailing yacht and was just bumming around hong kong/nearby islands. He was in the wars (flew Hueys in Vietnam for ex.) but he did run a diving/tour kind of deal with this boat/was a street smart guy. In the end his life decisions caught up to him (taken out by strokes) under 60.

I think about it because I have a fear of going there and not being able to return to the US for whatever reason. I like living in a developed place but that area is also a paradise you know cliche blue water/tropics. Alternative is own a small piece of land somewhere in the US/do stuff, live a regular life. I also can just completely shut that side of my life off and live here but as I question if altruism is a thing, I've been supporting them for the last two years. Feels like a drag but they literally live on dirt/I got a well installed in their village.

Anyway... I will be CTO of this thing taking a new direction, hopefully it becomes something. Will check back in 3 months ha, gotta finish my last month at my current job before I lose 50% of my income and health insurance, oh well. I haven't been to a doctor in years so a gap is not a huge concern, will figure it out. At least I have ownership of this thing/a co inventor.

Sorry for the unrelated rambling.
Out of interest are you a kiwi? As a kiwi it would be interesting to find out the CEO of Supabase is a kiwi.
The reason it's "better" for international transfers is because it has decided to ditch all legal and financial safeguards that have been introduced, often with good reason, in regular banking. From a technical standpoint, crypto adds nothing to the process that a centralized system can't provide cheaper, faster and safer.

Additionally, a hedge is only as good as its performance in case of a worst-case scenario. If the stock market takes a dive or war breaks out, crypto will dive just as hard - same as it had done in the past.
>I bought some crypto early on as a hedge against global politics going to shit (US, Russia or China going into proxy wars) or economics taking a dive (and governments/central banks deciding to devaluate, ...).

Genuinely asking as a newbie to this kind of thing, what's the advantage of using crypto over assets more traditionally used for this purpose such as gold?
Thing is, your quality judgement is questionable by society as a whole.

Less regulation -> more crime.

Better privacy -> more crime.

Cheaper -> more unstable currency markets.

Faster -> more unstable currency markets.

There is a balance to be found, but at the moment most cryptocurrencies are a nightmare from the perspective of people who value stability and order in social arrangements. And none of the current players seem particularly interested in finding that balance, because they know very well that most of their customers are interested in keeping it wild.

They're cheap. HA is for their customers to pay more, not for Amazon which often lies during major outages. They would lose money on HA and they would lose money on acknowledging downtimes. They will lie as long as they benefit from it.
> passwords are a symetric key, hence if the server is compromised, so is the password

Pretty sure that’s not how it works, iirc passwords are stored one-way encrypted. And if it were true, then anyone with root access to a box could comprise every other (Unix) user’s key, which seems like a potentially bigger problem…
This is something I've wanted for a while too. With TeamViewer I can get the client, log in, and then I can see all my other logged in machines and do remote control or exchange files. I don't need to worry about NAT or dynamic IPs etc and it works across Linux and Android and even Windows.

I'd really like to replicate this, even in a really simple CLI way but I haven't found all the right blocks to fit together. Naturally I don't have TeamViewer's account servers to rely on, and ideally I'd not use any centralised/third-party service at all (e.g. Zerotier or Tailscale).

My current idea is to make a GNUnet VPN and then use avahi to discover SSH or VNC servers, then I can use Remmina as a fancy GUI. This will probably be slow and difficult.

There are plenty of FOSS tools that do almost what I want, but none I've found quite gets there yet.
Just like those so-called "hypersonic missiles", 3D-rendered on Mosfilm, and even poorly rendered at that!
Because in the most common use-case it allows for the the same functionality as PasswordAuthentication, so if you want to disallow password-based logins, it also has to go. Note that newer openssh version (don't remember how new) renamed this to KbdInteractiveAuthentication. So check your documentation,
and double-check everything you read on the internet.

If the way it "solves the problem" is by not following the regulations that everybody else has to follow, I don't know if it's actually solving a problem so much as cheating the system.

It depends on how limited the international payments are for your particular country.

Bank payment from Spain to Poland is cheaper than cryptocurrency; bank payment from Nigeria to Peru is likely to be more expensive than cryptocurrency; and a bank payment from USA to Iran is effectively impossible while cryptocurrency can work.
I believe the user you are replying to was also joking, given that many of Banks' ship names reference the g-word

I happen to be a biochemist, and I find your view of what a scientist does to be excessively narrow.

We're also not talking about formal logic (I clearly started my comment by saying "in more practical terms", did I not?), we're talking about a distinction between an appropriate and an inappropriate heuristic. I highly recommend you finish reading the article I posted.
You don't think Yale does this for PR and that using the term trap house should include consequences like that? Should the student be reprimanded?

I would prefer to bury Jira, not to replace it. Julius Caesar style.
You would do well to steel man this line of thought.

"Reality" can mean the physical patterns of atoms and electromagnetic radiation, which nobody suggests psychedelics change (although it's worth noting that you cannot completely eliminate subjectivity from your measurements even here, thanks to quantum physics). However we don't perceive atoms and radiation directly - we filter our senses through countless layers of filtering, interpretation, and abstraction. "Reality" for us encompasses a lot of concepts that are not so clear cut as "this pixel is that color". The clarity with which you perceive the world when sober is illusory, as evidenced by the widespread perception of paranormal phenomena by sober people - or even simple optical illusions.

My personal experience was the opposite. I'm currently trying different approaches for building a Bomberman AI for the Bomberland competition that was discussed here on HN a few weeks ago.

"IMPALA with 1 learner takes only around 10 hours to reach the same performance that A3C approaches after 7.5 days." says the paper, but I can run A3C on a cheap CPU-only server but to get that IMPALA timing, I need to spend a lot of money. But my biggest roadblock so far is that I need compute far exceeding what the papers claim.

The diagrams for IMPALA show good performance starting at 1e8 environment frames and excellent performance at 1e9 frames. By now, I'm at 2.5e9 frames and performance is still bad. In my opinion, the reason is that the sequence lengths for Bomberland are quite long. To clear a path, you place a bomb, wait 5 ticks for it to become detonatable, then detonate it, then wait 10 ticks for the fire to clear. With 7 possible actions per tick, the chance of randomly executing this 17 tick sequence becomes (1/7)^17 = 4e-15. If I calculate optimistically that all moves are valid, too, while we wait, then I can get up to (1/7)(5/7)^5(1/7)*(5/7)^10 = 1e-4. But that still means that at 1e8 env steps, I only have 1000 successful executions to learn from.
Use one key pair per device. If you lose the device, remove the associated public key from the server's authorized keys.

Using a password on they key isn't a bad idea either.
OCaml is currently going through something similar, with some solutions in sight. The "motivation" part of the eio (https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/eio) documentation is a great introduction:

"The Unix library provided with OCaml uses blocking IO operations, and is not well suited to concurrent programs such as network services or interactive applications. For many years, the solution to this has been libraries such as Lwt and Async, which provide a monadic interface. These libraries allow writing code as if there were multiple threads of execution, each with their own stack, but the stacks are simulated using the heap.

The multicore version of OCaml adds support for "effects", removing the need for monadic code here. Using effects brings several advantages:

1. It's faster, because no heap allocations are needed to simulate a stack.

2. Concurrent code can be written in the same style as plain non-concurrent code.

3. Because a real stack is used, backtraces from exceptions work as expected.

4. Other features of the language (such as try ... with ...) can be used in concurrent code.

Additionally, modern operating systems provide high-performance alternatives to the old Unix select call. For example, Linux's io-uring system has applications write the operations they want to perform to a ring buffer, which Linux handles asynchronously."
Pretty sure I heard a USAF general make a similar argument for the way ahead / 6th gen aircraft development: that airframes need to be iterated faster, with sensor and weapon packages being much more plug-and-play. So we should be able to stuff the same AESA + Distributed Aperture Sensors in a single seat/single engine fighter, a tandem-seat strikefighter, and a side-by-side seat penetration bomber. You replace the airframes as your materials science improves and your desired flight envelopes/mission profiles change. You replace the internals as your electrical & software engineering improves. Alternate between the two, like Intels old "Tick/Tock" cycle. Far better than doing clean-sheet designs that need to debug EVERYTHING new simultaneously.
You could consider using a library like boardgame.io for this.

pretty sure passwords are sent to the server in a way that reveals the actual password to the server. any chance you are thinking about key-agent?
I think it is less about not having regulations and more about bypassing the current establishment of banks and exchanges.

It feels more like a union of those shunned by the current establishment, trying to get a piece of the money pie.
My biggest fear is that institutions & governments jumping into this pyramid scheme, throwing our hard earned money to make billionaires out of snake oil men.

Bitcoin was fine as long as it was a small geeky fun currency with actual small transactions. It became a pyramid scheme once speculators jumped in.

I am open to government or industry backed crypto or digital currency.

Its all a massive guessing game.
Many people tend to assume goto is bad design, and while it definitely can be, there are some great uses for it especially on low level code.

I feel like this idea of goto being bad dates back to Djikstra's essay about the subject. I think quite often people tend to reference this and based on that declare that goto is always bad while missing the point that Djikstra was actually talking about goto being harmful when proving algorithms, not necessarily in real world code where there are great use cases for it when used in moderation.

I can have all the individual responsibility I want. It doesn't protect me or my loved ones from other people who aren't responsible.

As examples: if Facebook spreads misinformation, my government gets worse. I may even lose individual liberties, like women currently losing the right to medical privacy.

If Facebook gives children eating disorders, my health insurance premiums go up.

Even if I only care about myself and police myself, Facebook can still rip apart the society that I live in.

No they don't. You seem to have forgotten about externalities.
That's why a product like Quant Networks is going to survive the bubble which is surely on the horizon.

NFT's like offered by NBA Topshots (basically replacing physical collectibles in a digital form factor) have their appeal if your into collecting sports stuff). 20 pixel unicorns for 1 ETH? Not so much..
And we are not even done yet. The Networking TS seems to have fallen out of favor and now it seems we are going to get executors + senders/receivers, which I personally think is pretty cool actually.
Are manned fighter jets obsolete by now? Surely we can produce drones that are just as capable, if not more so, and they would be vastly, order-of-magnitude cheaper than the planes that have to protect squishy human beings.

Being cheaper means you can have more of them, which then could mean you don't even need to worry about the expensive stealth features. So what if the enemy detects one and shoots it down? The four other drones can carry on with the mission.
Afaik most % of mining happens close to the energy source where it can't even be transported or where it's already being wasted. At least that would be the most economically viable solution; hence hopefully what everyone will eventually be doing (doing otherwise would not be rewardable).

Actually in a way the market price is not only defined by speculation but also how much "paying for energy" compares to "getting the bitcoin reward". So in a way the market price tells us how much people are willing to pay for energy (globally).

But yeah I agree it all sucks that it's going to mess up our planet even more.
Thanks for sharing your experience :) I haven't had any issues so far, but then again I also didn't need their support yet.

With JLCPCB on the other hand, I've had things stuck in customs for 2-3 weeks multiple times due to documentation issues and then I had to hunt down someone at JLCPCB with the authority to provide me with a fixed invoice.

That said, I've heard that the JLCPCB DDP terms work great (where they pre-pay customs for you) but they didn't allow that in my price range.
Perhaps I'm just being naive, bug I still fail to understand the animosity towards the SSPL license.
It's not the same thing. It has been illegal to insult people or calling for their murder. The new laws in contrast are very vague and give the government much more room for interpretation.

For example, from Wikipedia, "agitation" is not allowed.

Merely disagreeing with a politician can be considered hate speech.

It does not take a lot of effort, either, just using certain words can be sufficient.

Germany now also seems to have the concept of "protected groups" that you can not critizize in any way, which I think is probably new. I am not a lawyer, though.

I looked at nomad hoping to find a more lightweight alternative, but when compared to Kubernetes options like k3s, nomad is a complete resource hog. No idea why GP dislikes nomad, but I know for me it’s always either missing built in equivalents for k8s features, requiring more engineering work to make it an acceptable option, or it requires more system resources than is acceptable.

Bitcoin have to be worth something in the same sense that a leaf of toilet paper isn't actually free - just very cheap. We don't know what the long term fair price of a bitcoin is and it isn't at all obvious that we are in a bubble.

For all the naysayers and the evangelists, at this point it is clear that cryptocurrencies have staying power and the broader market (not going to pick out bitcoin specifically) seems likely outlive the US dollar. Decentralised protocols are more reliable than the US government.
Yep, same here (in the EU).

People were saying the same doing soviet days, it seems to be some kind of jingoistic fantasy that have never really played out in the real world i.e. every time nato/us supplied forces encounter competently operated Russian kit they have had to fight it out based on numbers and logistics rather then depend on the technological inferiority of the opposing forces weapons.

The same goes for say French, Swedish or Indian planes who does tend to hold up a lot better in real world conditions then the derision they get from the pentagon propagandist doing procurement suggests.

The truth is that the technologies involved is so mature that any largish economy can put out reasonable effective platforms the reason nobody else then the US is making stealth have more to do with the limitations of stealth then the fact that it requires secret knowledge only possessed by the US.
