Re #1: Not forwarding the transaction.

You can tell within about 15 seconds or so if a transaction hasn't hit the memepool. Just look up you wallet on blockchain.com/etherscan etc. It's a standard step that nearly every send/receive UI offers a link after submitting a transaction. These services mark mempool transactions as "pending" before they are inserted into a block.

For example, here's a wallet for Gemini, you can see pending transactions under the "Age" column as they hit the mempool [0]. They are "pending" while in the mempool and then are labeled with a time as they are added to blocks.

I'm continually impressed with how resilient the system is, even more-so after our thread about a hypothetical adversary.

(Again you can run your own mempool service on your own node, and publish transactions to it, but in our hypothetical situation you need to instead issue it out through a Whatsapp channel manually.)

Their business model is literally profiting off of poor customer service (as a service).

Get your credit card from a local credit union with at least one physical presence near you.

Do your own backups or contract to an independent company whose primary occupation is doing backups.

Manage your own email either directly or through an independent email provider. Buy a domain and use that for your email address to increase flexibility to move from one provider to another.

Diversify.

Anything else increases your risk of getting caught in a personal and financial wood chipper.
Yeah this is annoying and frankly terrifying. These companies are too big and we have all been way too reliant on them for many many years now that losing the accounts will be very tough to recover from. Given how important these accounts are these companies should really staff up to have actual people respond to these kind of issues. Even though it’s algorithmically done and it’s just one account out of billions for them, it’s a huge thing for the impacted.
>A common fear of ID cards is that, once everyone is supposed to own one, some government comes along and decrees that you must carry one at all times. Then the police are given powers to arrest anyone not carrying ID; and finally, to stop and search anyone on the suspicion that they are not carrying ID.

And can you point towards a European country that isn't in the grip of a totalitarian state where this currently happens?

It's typical British exceptionalism, like unarmed police and Brexit. We'll massively inconvenience ourselves out of principle, while sensible populations look on in bemusement.

>Also: the novel 1981 was written about a future UK.

I'll assume that you mean 1984, which is fiction. Orwell, after all, was English and you would expect him to write political allegories based here.
Ask HN: How would you have done high school/college/university differently?
Knowing what I know now, I would have approached high school and college much differently than I did. What would you have done differently? And if you think that your mistake was a common one, what would you change about the system to prevent others from making the same mistake?

For example I didn't take enough risks which I think hurt me in the long run. I'm not sure how to fix that for current and future students but thought the HN community might have some thoughts
And notably, many of those categories have disproportionately high medical costs.
Well, what many other games (System Shock, Half-Life etc. etc.) had, and the id games definitely lacked, was simply a coherent story (other than "go in, shoot the monsters/bad guys and try not to get killed"), which (at least for some players) adds a whole layer of depth and motivation...
How did you come up with this mechanism? It's very clever, simple yet powerful. Once I saw I could associate upvotes with channels, I realized how useful this could be! It's like making your own subreddits that fill up with content automatically. I think after you reach a critical mass of active users, this could really take off.
This unnecessarily complexifies the subject.

Download your free copy of Debian. Install it. There, you're done.
Surge protectors are absolutely enough for most lightning related surges which are absolutely not the full current of a lightning bolt going through your equipment, but a little bit finding the path through to ground though your stuff.

Back in the dialup days we used to lose a few modems a year to lightning, our computer didn't explode into a ball of fiery doom. (and the ancient phone would ring for a fraction of a second and you'd think "shit, I forgot to unplug the modem, there goes another one".
Have you looked at the data before making the claims? Ethereum far surpasses in use Bitcoin by pretty much any metric you look.

For example, in the last 24h Ethereum processed 1.24M of transactions and netted a revenue of $ 60M in transaction fees.

Bitcoin processed 0.24M transactions in the same time period and netted a revenue of $ 0.88M.

> The biggest challenge with the whole setup was finding a SIM from a provider who would let me top it up once per year and maybe send half a dozen texts in that time without deactivating the SIM, for a reasonable price

Good point - so-called "pre-paid" SIMs seem to be hidden subscriptions nowadays. Does anyone have a table of suitable low-usage, long-term SIM vendors?
Cautiously posting this link. If discussing please take it as a personal challenge to keep it intellectual and devoid of emotion.
We're not talking about Tesla Superchargers here, but things that let you charge overnight. On the scale of civil construction, it doesn't seem to be more difficult than highways, street lighting, sewers, etc.
I journal. Looking back over old notes makes me more grateful for what I have obtained because I can recall the day I didn't have a certain thing / experience, and it's like the jigsaw is becoming more complete with each day. I like the way progress 'compounds' over time. There are exponential leaps that can be made if you put in the work.

uh, maybe we just disrupted the market for slaves, so it isn’t so profitable it justifies the risk/backlash anymore (for all but a tiny subset anyway)? Which is good.

Mass murder still seems to be on the menu though, unfortunately.
I don't know if you would enjoy it, but keying off the idea of lifetime crafstmanship is the documentary film Jiro Dreams of Sushi[1], he was 85 at the time and ran a small but world famous sushi restaurant - no chain of stores, no growth at all costs, instead pursuit of excellence.

Quotes:

> Jiro Ono: Once you decide on your occupation... you must immerse yourself in your work. You have to fall in love with your work. Never complain about your job. You must dedicate your life to mastering your skill. That's the secret of success... and is the key to being regarded honorably.

and

> Jiro Ono: I do the same thing over and over, improving bit by bit. There is always a yearning to achieve more. I'll continue to climb, trying to reach the top, but no one knows where the top is.

By "explain" I hope no one hears "justify" (although someone will do it anyway):

You see this with the Romans, too: they tell a city to surrender, it doesn't, the Romans conquer it and practice unspeakable brutality on whomever's left.

So what's happening? They have very limited resources, you forced us to expend them, maybe lose some of our own soldiers, and waste a valuable campaigning season - ok, now you pay the price, and let this be a warning to the next city: if we tell you to surrender, you'd better surrender.

What if the city does surrender? Are those people killed or sold into slavery anyway? I don't think historians bother recording those episodes.
It doesn't have a hard requirement on fossil fuels, no. But if Bitcoin is using clean energy, that means it's using clean energy that could otherwise be used for things that provide actual utility - lighting homes, running businesses, charging electric vehicles, etc.

Fiat currencies are real because we all agree that they're real. You can pay your taxes with them, you can buy a house or your groceries. I don't think Bitcoin, or other crypto, can yet claim they're real because their worth is expressed almost exclusively in terms of fiat currency. Even if some business does accept crypto, it's expressed as a conversion from an underlying price in terms of fiat.
That's pretty straightforward and nice. I'm curious if there are some good references to where the cheapest US SIM+plan would be if you only care about sending SMS messages.
You have a three day old account and all you do is post negative comments about crypto. Seems like a lowly way of life.
It is not complex and doesn't require much background knowledge ("critically" reading a couple books like So You Want To Talk About Race is enough, or you can just skip those and read Cynical Theories). This "critical sense of the term" is basically a political wedge. There are two almost completely unrelated issues at play:

1) Institutions, like in most of the world, sort people by class and reward success; therefore, they may propagate class divisions and allow (or even amplify) differences in achievement.

2) Due to the history of the USA, the class in the USA is tied to race to a considerable degree.

(2) can and should be solved separately with policies ranging from affirmative action to reparations/better redistribution; however, this is not what (or not everything that) activists want. Books like New Jim Crow for example are explicitly ambivalent about affirmative action, because it allows some people success while leaving the rest of the poor behind and distracting from the struggle/compassion for them.

Leftists instead bundle those together and use it as a wedge against unsuspecting/apolitical center - if you are against "solving" (1) with leftist policies, you must be a-ok with (2) and therefore you are racist. When in reality, (1) in isolation is one of the greatest things for a society and should not be "solved" at all. Kendi is the most explicit and obvious example of this that comes to mind, others may be less explicit about it.

It's important for Americans to distinguish race from class, and to understand that, just like in the rest of the world, inequality as such is totally fine, and in fact good for society; "equity" is evil beyond school age, as proven thru history every time it has been tried. I grew up ~poor in Russia surrounded by other ~poor people, all white; that made me extremely classist. I personally cannot wait for a wonderful day where every kid has a chance to make a life for themselves, and a representative (M% white, N% black, etc.) upper-middle class in America can look with a slight pity and disdain at similarly (M% white, N% black, etc.) poor and say "you've had your chances, so why cannot you be more like me?" :)

It's sorta my superpower. My record is 4L of water in an hour last June when it was 95 in Bentonville @ ~88% humidity. Lot of my riding buddies had to head into the A/C, I just get popping Nuun tabs and emptying my water bladder in my backpack!
Nice to know repair is still possible in this generation of the product. I repaired a trackman marble the same way some 10 years ago. It’s nevertheless sad that the design is flawed like that.
Why would it be a problem if they were related to his day job? Keep in mind the libraries he was inspired by are open-source apache licensed code. Your argument only makes sense if you assume the code was related to proprietary tech and not just a piece of code you find on the internet.
I think it's clear in context that the fig tree is symbolizing the kingdom of Judah, who's leaders Jesus is very critical of. In the gospels, he says they will be disowned and their kingdom given over to another. The fig tree is a symbol of the kingdom of Judah and it really works in context.

Technology always feels like this: the breakthrough and the “revolution” are often separated by many years. If this is hard to grok just remind yourself the internet existed in the 1970’s!

We are at that same moment (post-breakthrough, pre-revolution), for genetics and biotech. CRISPR has changed the world, but most of us haven’t noticed too much yet, and I think we can’t imagine what it’s going to be like any more than the network engineers in the 70s could imagine TikTok.

Another breakthrough that may be imminent is Fusion power, if the new magnets and associated materials the current crop of Fusion companies are touting really do make the difference to economical fusion. Geopolitics will change astronomically as the importance of fossil fuels wanes, but if it happens “fast” due to economical fusion then it may be a lot more “revolutionary” as compared to a more gradual transition via renewables and batteries.

There’s tons of exciting stuff on the horizon. It’s just hard to perceive it coming until it’s arrived :)
The robot dogs are a gimmick, and Singapore's police force is far less prone to violence than American police. Singapore is heavily surveilled, but so are New York, London and Paris. Locking down migrant workers for an extended period of time is pretty unconscionable though.

Picking a few anecdotes about any city invariably paints it in a reductive way. I'm not sure what the solution for this is other than actually visiting or living in a place.
I wonder what kind of witty comeback he'd have for that.
Arcane Dimensions is fantastic. There’s no campaign, but a bunch of different individual levels made by different mappers. An individual level in Arcane Dimensions has about as much content as an entire episode of the original Quake. Level design is very sophisticated, with lots of reuse of areas. Can be easy to get lost if you’re not paying attention.
Which still requires some additional configuration effort compared to today, though.

Speaking of HVAC on a generator - have you heard of the Hyper Engineering SureStart devices?

They put less stress on the generator and compressor when starting up. I got them installed on both of my AC units, and they work great on the generator, and the generator doesn't bog down when they start.

It's not quite so simple, since we are looking at single examples. Alexander was predated by leaders (Cyrus the Great) who ruled in a much more progressive gentle way. Recent history has shown major powers performing very cruelly (genocides under colonialism) and there's definitely at least minor world leaders who would want to be just as cruel. So the question becomes more of why was it effective and strategic to be cruel at that scale in the past but not in the present world, and I would attribute that to technology: better communication, travel, and interconnectedness of trade.
10% more productive part is hard to prove. My company tried switching between webstorm and vscode, there was no discernible difference in team productivity.
I'm fascinated by this view, where do you find support for it in the texts?

To me, and most Christians, it looks like jesis is appropriately angry, sad, happy and generally experiences a full range of human emotions in the gospels.
Cotton ball vacuum sounds like very useful trick, thanks for sharing!
For geeking this is great. For getting my existing containers running I would use Google Kubernetes service GKE with Terraform and be done with it in minutes.
> The best operating system for gaming is Windows.

Disagreed. Windows is just a system with most users, so games developers target it most.

Linux is just fine for gaming.
it's long past the time that we need a digital bill of rights for "services", content, etc. Esp content that we own like our own photos, docs, etc that are on the cloud. They may be able to take music, books, and games you purchased but not your own content.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca: The two lives of a Stoic sage
They changed supplier for microswitches some years ago, to one that makes switches with short lifetime. Presumably someone got a nice bonus.
I’m sure you can find someone willing to charge you $50 on Amazon for an equally-bad charger.

Again, without some sort of standards enforcement, how can the end-purchaser differentiate between a quality cable and garbage.
I went through multiple Logitech Anywhere MX mice (two at work, one at home) because the switches they use have a short throw and the part of the top shell that pushes on them is a small sliver that gets indented over time. Once the indent is large enough, it's impossible to keep the switch depressed. libinput can help deal with switch bounce, but it doesn't help with momentary releases that screw up click-and-drag operations.

Now at work I use a cheap Dell wired mouse that works perfectly, and at home I have a Razer Deathadder Elite (or is it the pro X ultimate creator edition RGB plus max turbo..), and aside from being a little goofy-gamer-y, it works great too.
The general consensus is that Mark was written fifty years after the fact, Matthew and Luke à century after mostly based on Mark and John at least a century after with some thinking even later from who knows what source but with a clear political goal. We are clearly in the decades if not centuries range.

Being a catholic doesn’t excuse everything.
That only works if he wrote them during work hours. If he didn't then why would the company own it? Anything you do off the clock is none of the company's business.

This religious ban does not include pictures of human remains, does it? And the warning mentioned in the root comment of this thread is located on a website.

Edit: I wonder what is downvoteable about my original comment. My Jewish colleagues do not eat pork, but they do not avoid depictions of it, such as photos in a menu. I guess it should be similar in the case of Kohanim being forbidden to come in contact with human remains. Direct contact is very different from a painting or description.
The tiny chef’s hat icon signaling the end of the essay really makes it great.
What You Are and What You Can Become
Are you trying to build a platform (as a service or otherwise) that many developers will deploy many applications into? Strongly consider Kubernetes.

Are you trying to deploy one application you're also the developer of? Then use some existing platform as a service unless and until you hit limitations that no commodity offering can overcome and you need to roll your own.

Are you trying to deploy a static site or something consisting mostly of informational content that isn't really an application and doesn't have meaningful uptime requirements? Fire and forget some VPS with httpd or nginx serving a directory you update with rsync, or maybe pick some templated off-the-shelf Wordpress thing.
If there was a regulated issuer of S&P500 indexed coins then indeed these platforms would provide normal margin investing. If crypto lives a lot of stuff will go away and hopefully a lot of tokenized promised governed by laws will enter (because that is the only smart contract to real contract bridge). But I doubt the lending platforms would budge.
Theranos was going to have portable blood testing kits the size of an iPod. WeWork was going to build its own schools and neighborhoods.

That behavior is separate from science. Sports fans harbor a same type of attitude, as do a lot of things that are considered 'cult' or underground. The issue is separate from science.
They have been resistant to change until now, but also seem unable to accept that people did think about the subject in the past, any plans that I see treat the whole subject of using computers for materials science as a completely new field.

I added support for materials data to STEP over 25 years ago, they could just use software and data formats that are already available.
Grid is much more reliable in richer countries of Europe than it is in the States. This is one of the areas where US infrastructure is really lacking. Our power is cheap, but the reliability is bad.
>> Also, pro-tip if you're on Ubuntu: the latest golang version in the default repos isn't compatible with this. You'll need to use golang 1.16 or later, which can be installed manually from the website, or installed via apt with a custom PPA (https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu)

Thanks! I was about to give up

PD: Couldn't install it either with the new binaries:
"package embed: unrecognized import path "embed" (import path does not begin with hostname)"

I think they should revisit this issues if really want widespread adoption.
Features can be added as long as they are backwards compatible, by adding another tag for it.

For example, the tag could be your public encryption key. Then, your email app, whenever it receives a public key from a sender, the app now knows their public key and can send them encrypted messages. Those without the public key, get the plaintext email.

This can all happen completely without any action on the part of the user.

Over time, it will gradually become ubiquitous, like https did.
I wrote a framework that does regexes of the Common Crawl. The Common Crawl is a series of captures of billions of pages of the WWW. Each member in the series has ~60 TB captures.

My framework runs a fairly simple pipeline: for each 1GB file, stream it from S3, decompress it, search it with a regex library, stream results back to S3.

A1 spot instances have consistently been cheaper for this task when measured on a $/GB scanned basis. Part of this might be that the framework doesn't need lots of RAM, so paying for more than 2GB per core on the non-A1 instances is just wasted expense for me.
The point is that typically when you make something illegal, it is still physically possible to do the thing that is forbidden. That's why it's not at all strange or unusual to ban this very particular usage of "math".
> To answer your question, the difference from kickstarter is that grants for public goods don't produce products - they produce public goods.

There are Patreons that work like that, where the work being funded gets released publicly (for example, Evil Hat Games was releasing Fate RPG books as "pay what you want" downloads on RPGDriveThrough. Patrons just got early access and similar privileges). Reminiscent of the Street Performer Protocol: https://www.schneier.com/academic/archives/1998/11/the_stree...
