> the U.S. should be focusing on longer term existential issues that affect the whole world

Should it? Many US citizens believe that the country is at risk of betraying its fundamental values and becoming something they cannot countenance. Resolving our differences will be hard.

Foreign instigators are poking an existing wound. They may be aggravating the injury, but they didn't create it.

There's no question that the long term interests of the US would be served by staying vigorously engaged in foreign affairs, including in the Ukraine. But does the US have the capability to do so when it is so riven, internally?
That article is ten years old.
How do you prevent this anyway? If you want to make money from insider info you can trade it (on a truly free black market), if you want to minimize the risk of being caught.
Caring about others is normally called "empathy," not socialism.

A trivial example of this would be any example of someone caring about someone else for non-selfish reasons prior to humans inventing socialism. Take your pick.

An ethereum transaction takes under a minute and costs a few dollars.

Transferring funds uses an extremely small amount of gas. You clearly have never used the chain so stop making things up.

Here I sent 11K USD to another wallet for a fee of $10. It was confirmed within 5 minutes. There is no other service outside of crypto that is that fast and that cheap. https://etherscan.io/tx/0x3edc74a15742f65d166dfc9ddb567afabf...
People keep equating Christianity with the concept of religion. It is a religion, sure, but only one particular religion. But it's a bit like saying "I dated Christy she just wasted 10 years of my life, it's clear I must be aromantic"
Ask HN: Anyone using Redis cluster and streams?
Wondering if anyone is running Redis for message queues, not caching, at a moderate to large scale. My impression is that you'd require cluster mode + streams to get some (rough) parity.

Has it been easy to operate? Is its durability story reliable? Can it be used as a lighter-weight alternative to Kafka?
I've never had a problem with it. You just need to use virtual environments.

Because this time around, MS can point at the entire FAANG and say "why aren't you doing anything about _them_?" Which would be deflection, of course ("whatever, we aren't talking about FAANG right now") but politically strong enough, IMO, to make it scary to sue any of the big tech unless you're willing to go against all of them.
Adding to this that many of the scriptures were censored from the Christian Bible. Emperor Constantine and his council left out some notable scriptures such as the Book of Enoch. That is a fairly significant redaction in my opinion. I would suggest reading up on it if anyone has the time.
SF is always like some sort of skit. The person crossed the street, SFPD warned them about traffic, they walked back and got hit by a car capable of self driving that was driven by the safety driver.

This is false.

The bill [1] makes it harder to access records for e.g. Congressional staffers [2]. But insider trading restrictions for everyone remain. And the disclosure requirements for members of Congress are virtually untouched.

Python/Django developer here, but I've found Digital Ocean+Dokku to be a pretty decent cheap alternative with more flexibility than Heroku, especially for an early-stage side project where a single server is enough for your needs.
This is where I was before I picked up Rails. What I realised was that while I preferred SQL in general, what I actually cared about was the ability to really go to town on the 5% of queries that actually needed attention, and the other 95% were boilerplate and entirely unsurprising. Letting the framework make those ones just go away under a layer of syntax I didn't even have to specify, but that got automagicked up from the database schema, was a breath of fresh air.

> I believe you and some other HNers are exceptions to the vast norms of how people operate.

Absolutely, but in the same way that moderators and admins are also outside the norm but still have a substantial impact on how/if communities grow and develop (provided a community has them). Communities in general rely on a certain percentage of people in them doing community-maintenance work, and at least some of it needs to be done due to love of the community. We're weird, but we're also the people who ran around showing a bunch of people Google in 1998, or who were encouraging people to switch from MySpace to Facebook in the 00s. We're the ones who articulate to the normal people why they should switch platforms, where they should go, and why the new place will solve the problems. Building a platform without us is difficult, and so is maintaining one if you're relying on community spaces.

I definitely think you're right that the situation is more complex than it was, but I think you're overselling the differences. Things are bigger so they take longer now, but that's the main difference. That and the financial interests involved; if anything is constraining platform death I would say it's that platform death costs MONEY now.

> My entire point was to not use the platform deaths of the 00s as a reasonable direct retort to the shakiness of current web giant platforms. Especially when it includes things like wondering if others remember internet history. As if people who remember Digg’s fall are wise to something.

Fair enough. I tend to err on the other side because so much of the Web is built to strip information of context and I adore digital history; there are so many things discussed where anything more than 5 years ago might as well have not happened. Still, there can definitely be an undertone of 'stfu noob' to stuff sometimes that is offputting.
They've changed it. I have Brave set as my default, for instance, and can change apps to tell them which one to open.
Interesting. On the iPad on Firefox in the link preview when long-pressing the link it shows "Hello World", but "Hello Apple" when actually opened. On the same iPad in Safari, it says "Hello Apple" both in the long-press preview and the full page :)
The transition will be hard for the possible reasons toy give, but long term we should again return to a normal age/population pyramid. The tricky part is managing the shift.
My contention is that we have very corrupt politicians leading the country. That corruption will not go away with the imposition of term limits. It's a bad response to the problem of corruption. I don't know what would solve the problem but strongly feel term limits is not the solution. I know you aren't saying that term limits are the answer; I'm clarifying my position.

I do agree that politicians aren't even trying to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Their response seems to be that in the absence of absolute proof of impropriety then any appearance of it is ok.
I meant to add that autodiff is a feature we'll be working on this upcoming spring, by using JAX arrays as the buffers. Until we have autodiff, backpropagation won't be possible.

This is the result. After 10+ years they deemed it safe and gave it to 60% of the planet.

Youre saying youre waiting for some "results". The scientists say they are satisfied, but you say you cant hear them say they are satisfied. It's not that they arent, its your, in as polite of french as i have, fingers in your ears.

Youve decided they arent satisfied, despite their statements to the contrary.
The median lawyer salary is $122K. Whether that's ridiculous is a matter of opinion, but it's only a little higher than software developers. And the average lawyer has more education.

All of these issues are functions of a growing population.

You know that our species has a problem when the solution to issues becomes "we need to shit out more babies." This modus operandi is no different than that of a replicating virus or locust swarm. When you are part of the swarm, it's easy to justify your actions as a means for survival, but from an outside perspective, one sees nothing but chaos, environmental devastation, and widespread suffering.

We need to stop the rampant breeding and plug the hole in this sinking ship known as planet Earth.
When I was shopping for groceries today, I saw something strange. The buses have displays to show what Line they are, today all of the buses I saw had blank displays. On my way home, I could see the display on the bus driver's seat, which only displayed an otherwise blank Windows Embedded CE 6.0 start screen.

Oh, and the thingy you put your ticket in get the stamp was out of order on all the buses.

Made me wonder if that was due to some component involved was using log4j? I don't think it's very likely - why would the bus display or the ticket stamping machine be affected in a way that requires turning them off? But who knows, maybe somebody overreacted, or maybe these depend on some backoffice infrastructure that is temporarily offline due to log4j.

It was weird, though. This is the first time I remember a security vulnerability made the national news (in Germany, if it matters). I don't think even Heartbleed got that much attention outside IT news outlets.
I more or less agree with you, but I would note there are some fairly well known Japanese Novels (maybe not literary great) that remain untranslated. I mainly know them from sites like this one, where some fully translated popular anime will reference some novel that remains completed untranslated, and good translation notes will note that then say, well, you're on your own on actually reading this lol.

At the moment I am thinking of Dogra Magra, which has a fan translation on a blogspot somewhere that only covered the first few pages IIRC, and a Machine translation bootleg being sold on amazon. No other translation I am aware of, though I have not searched exhaustively.
Casio did make at least one smart phone around 2014. It was ruggedized and waterproof. Not very powerful and the operating system was out of date the day it came out, but I remember it fondly. It was great for fieldwork, since I didn't have to worry if it got wet slogging through streams or busted against riprap on the way up the bank.
BMW Will Show a Car That Changes Color ‘With the Touch of a Button’ at CES
I generally disagree with respect to L4. A car that is fully autonomous under a precisely defined set of circumstances, especially certain types of roads and possibly under certain environmental conditions could still be extremely useful--assuming you can fully hand off control. A lot of driving is fairly predictable highway driving even if it doesn't help people who want a door-to-door robo-taxi.

I explicitly claim to use a "citadel" archicture [0] when talking about breaking off services for very similar reasons. Having a single microservice split out from a monolith is a totally valid application of microservices, but I've had better results in conversation when I market it properly.

I've found this to go so far as to have "monolith" understood to mean "single instance of a system with state held in memory".

IIRC, Flask was originally written as a joke. It was also created in the era when using thread locals was still somewhat common but going out of style.

AI models definitely have intelligent aspects to them since they perform tasks we can't write algorithms for manually in a straightforward way.

But a movie or a book is nothing like an AI model, they don't process information, they are static. AI models can react to numerous inputs in various ways.
I know someday I will be punished for some of the evil, uncalled-for cruelty I have inflicted on poor Microsoft Access when it was all I had available to me.

> I would personally view your software as invasive malware

Your view is objectively incorrect. Something cannot be "malware" if it is intentionally installed for a purpose beneficial to the installer, doesn't contain hidden anti-features, or doesn't make itself intentionally hard to uninstall (modulo the obvious cases where that's a feature, such as find-my-stolen-device tools, and this one).
As an Amiga-owning Brit living in the South of Europe back then, as much as my eye was cast homeward culturally, it was also eyeing Germany quite a lot. You guys made great games too (never mind the demo scene, which Germany and the Nordics kicked British ass at) and I used to tune in to some German radio station on Saturday nights on Satellite radio and hook it up to a tape recorder so that I had electronic/dance music no one else in my school even knew about :)

I realise now, reading back, that you said East Germany. I forgot that was A Thing, for shame.

I definitely think it is a neat app, but I just didn't see the value proposition personally. Others probably do. I know the macOS software market is usually higher priced than iOS and others.

Is that really a fact, that 10% of the value locked into DeFi was stolen this year? I would think that most of the TVL would accrue to the more blue chip protocols (Aave, Uniswap, Compound, etc.) and to my knowledge these haven't been affected much by these big hacks.

One of the top stories on Reddit right now is about Nancy Pelosi, and one of the top comments is calling for her death. No moderation, only praise for the murder comment.

It just takes one newspaper to highlight that and it's over for Reddit as an advertising platform. And it can't be stopped because the moderation is local.
Small nit: I think the Wikipedia entry is saying TON 618's mass is greater than all of the stars in our galaxy (6*10^10 solar masses, according to the article), not greater than the entire mass of the galaxy (~10^12 solar masses, according to the Milky Way article).
No, the claim is that civil servants are not directly responsible to the constituency. Like it or not, Representatives are elected every two years by their constituents. Representatives get to do what they want as long as their constituency is ok with it (within the bounds of their own body's rules, which they get to vote on)

Forcing the use of edge for features that should be browser-neutral like Bing web search from the start menu seems very wrong in terms of user choice. However, if this is Microsoft's version of "Electron" in order to implement parts of the OS, then blocking other browsers seems pretty reasonable. It makes technical sense because they can also directly provide a Windows Login cookie for linking to their apps on the web to make them PWAs for which the user would then already be authenticated.

Maybe all that needs to be done is change things like Bing Search to normal https URL, and maybe remove browser controls like the address bar or bookmarks so they can't be used as a "browser"?

Exactly. Level 5 or bust. It’s fiction to believe anyone can quickly take over — it is not how our brains work. If anything less than Level 5 does a good job much of the time, that only reinforces to the driver that they can completely disengage. It takes many seconds to not only respond to a call that they need to put down their phone and look up, but also to then grok the scene and keep moving. It’s just not cognitively realistic.
No. The person I replied to wanted a traditional bank in the crypto space. I told them how to replicate it.

Only if humans in different places are fungible, which they are not, and only if young people are willing to shoulder increasingly high burdens to take care of old people, which is debatable.

And the “solution to aging” stuff is pretty optimistic. Modern medical technology has barely pushed the boundaries of healthy life at the top end. The first five American presidents died at 67, 83, 90, 85, and 73. The two that didn’t make it to their 80s died of a viral disease that still affects us today (influenza) and a bacterial disease that we do have a treatment for today (TB).
Right, but a big project in Rails has all the problems you can think of:

- slow to compile and run

- easy target for spaghetti code

- test suites get sluggish

- hard to upgrade

- won't scale well

- with no static typing, large scale collaboration can easily break things

- metaprogramming hell

Employees of many companies, especially financial companies, are subject to obnoxious restrictions on trading to protect their employers and their employers' customers from insider trading and front running.

I'm reminded of this all the time whenever I want to do a side project. I think to myself I should checkout a new framework or language and aside from Phoenix/Elixir and Rails/Ruby I have not found any that use conventions that allow you to concentrate on features and your product decisions as much. Node is a clusterfuck of technical decision making at every step in comparison.
Per capita out-of-pocket is about $800, barely changing that number. The top 5% spend an average of $8000[0], which still puts compensation ahead of countries like New Zealand, Norway, Japan, Sweden, and Finland, and that's not even accounting for the higher income taxes many of these countries have.

As for retirement, most public school systems have extremely generous pensions. Illinois, for instance, has over ten thousand former employees with six figure pensions - not just administrators, but teachers, too.

Do you have any evidence American teachers work harder than teachers in other OECD countries? For instance, US class sizes are just under the OECD average, although this is skewed by China's unusually large class sizes, at about the middle of the pack and behind countries such as Japan, Germany, France, and Australia, and the countries with smaller class sizes aren't that much smaller.

Is it really?

If I have an OS and I want to deeply integrate the browser into the OS for use-cases other than general browsing of the web, why can't there be browser specific URLs to accomplish that?

Is there a complete list of microsoft-edge:// use cases? I know there is a News integration to the taskbar.

I love standards but sometimes you have edge use cases that the entire world doesn't need or can adopt. Why can't a browser have proprietary features along with URLs that make sure that a browser supporting those URLs be used?

How do you even QA or support a deep browser integration into your OS when the browser can be switched to a 3rd party one?

If those deep integrations (News, etc) also prompt you to change your default browser for general web surfing then yes, that would be anticompetitive behavior. Does it do that?

I agree, although I don't look at Christianity as religion, from my understanding of the new testament..Christ was crucified basically because he didn't follow "the law of their fathers"..religion essentially.

The aim is not to convince though, but to raise the question, why does our generation think that anything scriptural cannot be treated as fact. Why are newtons laws fact, but not his convictions? Are we so taken up by being "scientific" in our own eyes, that we forget the very premise on which science is based, God?
