Granted. But there are accepted rules surrounding "first country". It seems to me that if you are crossing 2 or more borders, you are no longer a refugee seeking asylum. You are more likely an economic migrant. In the case of mass migration to Europe, the vast majority would appear to fit the definition of migrants rather than refugees.
Must it be 2049? Can't we go with 2048?

Daily anti-blockchain/web3/cryptocurrency posts from people uninvolved in the space are not interesting to me.

I get that this is a massive echo chamber, but it really is getting boring hearing the same inaccurate straw mans and opinions being thrown around.

Spending more creates more bureaucracy and makes government less effective, which was the point of my sarcastic quip.
Of course, even better strategy is to just sit at home and create a small fleet of drones that can use Sun's gravity as a lens to observe planet surfaces in nearby stellar systems with resolution in kilometers per pixel.

At least this could be accomplished within our lifetimes.
I'm not a licensed physician.
But I can help you find your path in life and work on killing your depression.
I've helped quite a few people overcome their feelings of being lost in life, and their depression. myself included. I did so by guiding them through getting over their social anxiety, by fixing their diet (an almost-keto diet worked for me and two more people I've worked with). I know this sounds odd, but eating sunflower seeds as snacks. Can help with sleep and can improve serotonin levels.
I know everything i've written above sounds cliche, but that's exactly what works. Something else that works is going to a licensed physician, doing bloodwork, getting tests done and receiving the proper medication for your condition.
But if you don't feel like doing that or if you've already done it and it hasn't fixed your current status, try me out and see if it works.
If you're committed to bettering yourself, give this a chance and see what transpires.

Depression is not about logic. You can't think your way out of depression. Depression has emotion at it's core, and that's where you want to beat it. To start feeling good and balance your system, you need to do some trial and error to figure out what's wrong. If it's diet, let's say carbs give you adhd-like symptoms (like it did to me), that also translate into less quality sleep, you will get anxious and depressed.
If it's a magnesium imbalance, say your digestive system doesn't absorb enough magnesium from your food or maybe you need more magnesium in your system. Then a sunflower snack 2-3 times a day for a few days might improve your condition.

> People move across borders when they need to.

Both Hungary and Poland have shown that a modern state can largely prevent illegal crossing of its borders. We have the technology. It's not that difficult. Even easier when you have a sea acting as a barrier.

When the migration happens on a massive scale regardless, it's usually with tacit or explicit establishment's approval.
You still have the question of directionality.

Suppose humans migrate to Europe from Africa, then have some local divergence from their ancestors. Then those humans interbreed with neanderthals, so that those divergent genes spread within the neanderthal population as well.

Putting aside the question of whether the existence of interbreeding makes neanderthals not a separate species, it's going to be difficult to tell where those genes originated.

Suppose the first person to have those genes was a human who bred with both humans and neanderthals, but it so happens we have fossils of some of the earliest neanderthals with those genes and not the earliest humans with them.

Then you could have the result that some "neanderthals" descended from humans but not vice versa, and be unable to distinguish that from the other way around.
no, because they belong to a residential ip block. it is easy to test... and the error message is without ambiguity.
There are 11 million people in the US who "moved across borders when they needed to". Is there a country people want to migrate to that successfully keeps them out?
Could you point me to where I can learn how to do it?
I've had a series of conversations elsewhere over the past several months on the question. My own view being that classifications are based on usefulness to the classifiers, and we have terms for things which we both 1) experience (there's much of the Universe we've yet failed to classify) and 2) based on our own interactions with those things.

Ideas are interfaces. And interfaces provide utility.

The very notion of "biological species" is based on the underlying notion of philosophical species, that specific classifications. Evolution turned this on its head by noting that species evolve (that is, change), over time. There is no such thing as an absolute species in the earlier philosophical sense.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/species

So the question becomes "where is it useful to define boundaries between species?", with various arbitrary boundaries proposed. The question isn't of their arbitraryness, but of their utility.

And those definitions are ultimately a relationship between us and the universe we're attempting to define.

You can drag in Wittgenstein and a whole bunch else. Knowing some of the philosophical background is useful, less so because a particular view is right, but more because virtually any argument or viewpoint proposed has been offered before, and many of the strengths and weaknesses discussed. Usually to great length.
People are replying "it's better than what they had" but that's often not true.

Many are promised something that does not exist, go through lot of danger only to discover that they were better off where they started. But now, they can't go back.

You're right that I don't keep up with it. The post is an explanation of why I don't: I look into how things are progressing every once in a while, and none of the things I want are solved.

What is an “economic refugee” anyway? Are Norwegians immigrating to USA “winter refugees”?
The Egyptians adopted the new fighting style; it's how they defeated the "Sea Peoples" attack in the Nile delta (there are famous depictions of this battle in Egypt).

Babylonia was soon afterward conquered by militaristic Assyria; Assyria also adopted the new approach and, later in the early iron age (as the neo-Assyrian empire), became the dominant superpower in the Fertile Crescent.

The others? The Mycenaeans were closest to the part of Europe where the new sword technology had evolved and matured.

I suggest you read both Cline's book (there's a new edition out) and Drews', and compare and contrast their takes on the subject.
The EU is paying Turkey to make sure people do not show up to request asylum in the first place. You think there's someone from the EU making an assessment of how many people in Turkish camps would be legally entitled to asylum, reporting back in a way that determines who gets held in those camps? Please. The EU is already taking steps to hold back migrants, whatever their need for aid.
Check out rekt.news if you want a long list of defi hacks, including many decentralized exchanges.

Of course, the code running a DEX is fully auditable by anyone, unlike the code powering a centralized exchange.
> Why they have a poor track record is a separate discussion.

The whole point is that if you're trying to dismiss an obvious option for it's track record, even though it is quite capable and able to do the legwork, then being aware of the root cause of that problem, and the fact that it's an artificial constraint with ideological roots, is very much central to the discussion.
Yeah, but what if the contract implementing the decentralised exchange has a bug?
I was hoping to be proven wrong, as I stated. But I admit my tone was a bit incendiary, even while stating that I am actually positive towards crypto.

(My dismissal was of the smart contracts of the OP, not crypto in general, which many commenters seem to assume.)

EU migrant problem is their own creation. They go to wars in middle east in america; destroy countries, kill innocents and then cry about migrants pouring in.

Continuously dump their waste and trash in Africa. EU has created the largest electronic waste landfill in Africa.

Kudos to the Natick Police Department for doggedly investigating this case. Most would have shrugged and ignored it.

It is a travesty that Wenig is not doing hard time right now.
This also means that nobody needs to be poor. Anyone can just get some money since its tied to nothing.
It really does boil down to a bunch of ignorant hot takes thrown around to convince each other that they are morally superior for maintaining an uninformed skepticism presented in bad faith.
The carbon emissions would still be there, but they might not be nearly as toxic/hazardous. (See my reply to a sibling comment.)

On the other hand, they'd be happening over land, where people live; instead of over water, "merely" killing marine life, so that might be a wash in policy-makers' minds.

To be clear, though, I'm not arguing against using cargo ships for domestic logistic as a concept; just the current implementation. Cargo ships that didn't use bunker fuel would be an unalloyed ecological win compared to both domestic ground logistics, and the current implementation of domestic marine logistics.

No one has seen any of their collateral or knows how much of it they actually have. I believe the finance people call this being over-leveraged but I'm not an expert. Seems kinda weird that the SEC hasn't looked into it.

AFAIK vbdos came after the Windows version. It was fun to play with but a little slow.
He was a full blown functional amphetamine addict. Some artists really are something else on drugs, can’t really take away all the stuff he made on it.

Someone else can go vet this, but found this with quick googling:

Afterward, according to Kyle Arnold’s biography, he was taking speed by the handful. “He stuffed his refrigerator with thousand-pill jars of amphetamines” and “told his mother he consumed a thousand-pill jar per week.”

There’s a fine line with all of this, and he is lucky he didn’t enter full paranoid breakdown (that we know of). Zappos CEO pretty much operated in the same way and it got his life.

YMMV, for real.
I wouldn't be surprised if the latter. I don't know that the Rs had anyone who could compete with Clinton on charisma which is always dangerous. Hell when Bush Sr ran he didn't realize what he was going up against until it was too late.
It comes from the arabic spelling of Gadaffi: قذافي‎

The ق at the beginning is a mix between a glottal stop and a k sound (depending on the dialect). There's no real way to spell it in English, hence the variants. This is similar to Osama/Usama (أسامة)
> I don't believe that the American people are somehow genetically predisposed to having a bad government.

I sure do. Nothing is going to change until rejection of authority is no longer foundational to the culture. We literally convinced ourselves that dysfunction and gridlock are features of the system, not bugs.
NO. Uniswap does not work. There are too much details but. In short it just works when there isn't volatility and there aren't many people trading so their trades doesn't invalidate each others trades because of high slippage which has to be set low because otherwise arbitrage bots exploits slippage tolerance.
Modern social media has ruined many careers unnecessarily. The mob mentality sometimes wins and destroys people that it shouldn't. Social media can be as much a disease as a benign influence.
Yeah, it'll be interesting especially positioned against facebook's META / Oculus products.

On HN folks trash apple (closed systems, supposedly phones don't hold value etc). Reality for most folks outside of HN, Apple is just far far more trusted. Facebook has a ton more users, but I'm not sure about trust levels (though we will see if that matters, for facebook so far they have done fine).
This is a site about entrepreneurship and venture capital, both of which have Web3/Crypto in their crosshairs. I think reporting on the subject more than average makes perfect sense in this context, considering how much money is getting poured into crypto VCs.
Half a billion, of which 95% is replacing older money going out of circulation. So really the comparison is 25MM.
It's even more boring to find the "I am so tired of people who don't understand the majesty of the racket I've bought into" comment in every thread on an article that is critical of blockchain-related things.

It's just a suboptimal implementation that nobody has bothered to optimize, because running Kubernetes on a laptop has never been a priority.
This is a temporary situation with relatively few people involved. Counterexample: the US - Mexico border.

Keeping an airtight border is a very expensive task. You can probably be harder to get into than the next country, but in the context of the EU, that's not really a solution, it's just a way to make the problem worse.

Btw we made that guideline a bit more general recently:

"Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting."

I expect it can be generalized further still, but I wanted to make it unambiguously cover the generic flamewars about things like "why is this on Twitter instead of a blog", since those come up a lot and are super repetitive.

Funny, I had the opposite question when I started using Linux more often. NetBSD is like Solaris. Running out of memory is not a big deal. I use RAM for the filesystem, so it does happen occassionally. On Linux, the effect of running out of memory was quite a surprise.
What actually matters is the nitrogen, not the pod.
Agreed! Matthew is such a great character. I relate a lot with him too. I get the same feeling watching the character as I do reading the book of Matthew, which makes me appreciate the gospel even more.
> which strongly suggests it is

I'd say correlation != causation, but it's not even correlation because it's literally a single data point. In no other context would people from HN try to extrapolate a single data point into such a strong claim.
Author here: I was actually pretty excited about XLM, until I flushed about $50 (at the time) of it into the void from the Keybase thing. I still don't really know what I did wrong, other than it never ending up in my (since liquidated) Coinbase wallet.
Speaking for myself, I'm reminded by the advice about other people's advice to youth - it's not actually how I'd done it in my early 20's - but whatever I'm lacking currently at my current old age that I wish my younger-self would have put in the work to make it easier for me right now lol.

Like many others, I am feeling the money pressure as I get older; hence the advice to younger self just to graduate early and learn to save, invest and compound (never mind my younger self tried to chase the dollar and were constantly insecure about chasing internships and make the grades to do so). Like many others, I'm feeling more the social isolation and feeling stagnant as I get older; hence the advice to younger self to get out more and acquire more social and dating experiences (never mind how my younger self have tried and how the pushback were with how insecure, superficial and immature some people and I were back then with undeveloped pre-frontal cortices).

I'm reminded by how some thing that I've held in such high regard back then - has turned utterly meaningless and almost cringey with age. Like losing your virginity for the first time or penetrating into a summer internship at Faang or penetrating into a trendy clubbing for the first time (pun intended). Not these things weren't important but it's how much I chased and were haunted by these external milestones every hour and every minute and second - just like I'm now haunted in middle age on how to compound to multiple two commas net worth, FOMO about my friends professional accomplishment into high management, making out with real estate and/or family formation.

The things back then I do not regret and wished I had done more: learning and playing guitar, working at a genomics lab for all 4 years in school, spending time with friends and going to the beach.

> The only good thing about crypto is how it occasionally decreases inflation in the US every time this digital "gold" is lost.

when they buy the crypto - dollars are sent to the seller. Only thing "lost" is the crypto coins themselves.
I don't see that as a problem that can be solved. It's not like it's a new issue. The most direct equivalent is Ethernet cables. If you don't have the right category of cable for the speed and distance you're running, it's likely not going to work. Or it will work, but it will be slow due to packets constantly being retransmitted. Power cabling has a similar and more dangerous issue. Don't buy a cord with the correct wire gauge for your load and the length of the cord? That's a fire hazard.
Theoretically that wouldn't be a killer issue, since fertile mules are extremely rare, so you could refine the definition to say "is very very likely to produce fertile offspring" (while horses and donkeys breeding is not).

The bigger problem are things that have massive morphological differences but can still successfully interbreed, such as dogs, coyotes and wolves. They produce fertile hybrids and there is good evidence that this occasionally happens in the wild, but nevertheless it is rare and they have clear, stable morphological distinctions, even in areas where they overlap.

Even worse, that definition is entirely useless for paleontology, as it is impossible to know if two individuals species could even interbreed, nevermind knowing if their offspring would be fertile. Even modern genetic evidence (which is extremely rare for fossils anyway) is very open to interpretation on the matter of potential interbreeding ("Neanderthal" genes in modern humans could more or less as easily be common genes older than both H. Sapiens and Neanderthals - we have far too little evidence to be sure, and no chance of genetic material from an older ancestor).
I like this idea. I hope to use the language someday and translate (upgrade) my Rust code to it.
This is a fraction of the actual population which would happily move to the US but is kept away by immigration controls. 11 million on a population of 330 million is 3%.
The decentralization of the internet should be increasingly important as we see government and corporate censorship increase. I couldn't care less about the money aspect, I look forward to decentralized apps replacing corporate controlled public spaces.
Help find research experiment seen on Hacker News
In the past year, there was either a post or a comment mentioning a specific research experiment. It went something like this:

Two researchers had a disagreement, over whether mental states/energy levels could move from person to another. So they designed an experiment.

There would be an experimental participant in a room, completely separated from the researchers. One of the researchers would lead the participant through tasks — and during the experiment, they would take measurements of both the lead researcher's mental states, and the participants' mental states.

The hypothesis for one researcher, is that the lead researcher's mental states would be observable in the participant. The hypothesis for the second researcher, is that the lead researcher's mental states would have no observable effect on the participant.

Here is where things got fun:

These researchers were both present during the experiments to observe what happened. When the first researcher, who believed there would be an effect, led the participant through the tasks — there was an observed change in the mental state of the participant (affirming the hypothesis). When the second researcher, who did not believe there would be an affect, led the participant through the tasks — there was no observed change in the mental state of the participant (rejecting the hypothesis).

And the interesting conclusion of this was, it seems that perhaps the researchers own mental states/beliefs were correlated with the outcome of the experiment.

Can anybody help recall the name of this experiment or the paper where it was published?
