> If the value of the coin dropped then hash power would decline, but the rewards for out-hashing someone would also drop - it wouldn't affect security

The coin rewards would drop, but the rewards for being able to steal whatever else is running on top of the chain stay the same. So to be secure the layer 1 chain has to stay more valuable than everything else that's being secured on top of it, otherwise it becomes worth doing a 51% attack on the underlying chain to get the stuff on top.
It might mean that complex numbers (real plus imaginary part) are real in the physical sense.
I think looking at DNA as "source code" that either gets "compiled" into proteins or "commented out" really betrays the way DNA actually works... making it a poor analogy.

DNA inside of cells has a 3 dimensional shape within the cell nucleus... The so called "Junk DNA" mentioned in the article can greatly modify the 3D geometry of the DNA and thus insertions or deletions of junk DNA can have large biological consequences (by influencing, for instance, the distance between an enhancer and promoter).

This video provides a nice visual representation of what DNA actually looks like:

> I think the problem is closing the window shuts down the screen link but not the whole pairing session, but people don't realise they need to separately end the call.

Ah hah! This is totally it. Closing the screen share does not end the call (intentionally). I can decide I don't want to see your screen any more, but still want to talk to you. Definitely a debatable design decision, though. It actually used to work the other way.
This happened November 2021, while the software was used to attack public prosecutor and advocate in 2019. That means that they never reviewed the targets, and only reacted after the NGOs published a list of illegal attacks.

(Eavesdropping advocate is illegal under Polish law.)
This is a good example. I never saw it written about so directly: Short, simple sentences, with small pauses between. It is a very good idea. When I get stuck speaking with non-natives in my own language or another, I repeat the sentence but use synonyms where possible. That also helps sometimes.

Depending upon the local culture, it may be acceptable to "gently" mix languages. Example: Maybe you can say part of what you need in French, and part in English. When I say something in English, then try to repeat another language (or vice versa), the non-native listener is much more likely to understand me.
It's good for very specific things. Voice actors. Bass players. People who do those gaudy effects on screenshots. People who reverse engineer apps. People who gloss up photos. Someone to have conversations with.

It's an assembly line. You probably shouldn't give long job descriptions. Just reading that is going to cost $5. The professionals sometimes have instructions on how to write instructions.
I think one of the big issues is there just isn't the need for accurate long-range fire from ship-board guns like there were in World War 2. The eletro-mechanical systems used on various warships during the war were accurate enough that other environment factors became more of a problem than the fire-control system.

Improving on a system that was already the peak of performance is difficult. And this is made even more difficult when long-range gun accuracy is less of a concern because naval guns are no longer the only weapons available to a warship. Missiles have become so common and powerful that modern warships have little to no armor protection. Point-defense weapons like Phalanx are used instead.

There is still a place for artillery, both naval and land-based. It's just a smaller role than it was a hundred years ago.
The "big tech bad" complaints seem valid to me. Big tech companies are willing to accept a certain number of false positives, and that sucks for the people who are caught up in them. Algorithm-influenced decision-making is likely to lead people to change their behaviour to please the algorithm—one obvious example is the oceans of shitty content that we all have to wade through to find useful information because Google's algorithm has led to changes in publisher and writer behaviour.

Both of these are, at best, a cause for concern.
Actually, would an RTG have fit the power requirements?
I agree with you. I think that having multi-AZ is the first thing to figure out before wanting to do multi-cloud, which is just another buzzword taken out of management's bullshit bucket :)
I bought Doom Eternal and Overload (spiritual successor of the 'Descent' franchise) over the cyber-Monday, and still haven't spoiled my uptime by booting Windows play them. With Steam's Proton there's been almost no problems or even obvious performance loss. Smooth 4k 60hz experience for both on Ubuntu 20.04 w/ Geforce 1070. No tricky optimizations or drivers.

The only issues were some audio crackle in Doom before I implemented the forum wisdom to set PulseAudio to 48khz, and, the annoyance that 'tab' stops working in game if I alt-tab out and back.

Poland is able to keep its unemployment somewhat down, by keeping the zloty weak relative to the euro, and therefore helping Polish exports. And before anyone says "Poland has a lot of unemployment" compare it to other weak Eastern European countries on the euro. Poland could end inflation if it wanted higher unemployment, but for now it accepts the higher inflation and weaker zloty so as to help exports and so limit how bad unemployment might get.

A couple of years ago Tinder only hid the profile pics with CSS in their web client so I installed a custom css to get the functionality you had to pay for free.

Unfortunately, as I recently got single again I discovered that this wasn't possible anymore.

To be more on topic, Tinder is a very american company. I haven't had personal issues with the company but I think their new features of weird matching from some shitty interactive videos is a sign of classic over-engineering. It seems like the app is "done". Maybe they should focus on creating something else than add useless features that no one seems to use ( at least where I am from ).

I'd like to see games integrate a "trust score" mechanism where known configurations like immutable distros e.g. Fedora Silverblue, cloud gaming platforms and consoles don't have to run a client-side anti-cheat at all because they already are using known, unlikely to be hacked configurations. This way competitive gamers can opt for more restrictive platforms to play games from, but then don't have to install a rootkit.
yeap. it's sloowwly getting there.

That's not what I'm seeing with VSCode on macOS though: the highest priority task when sitting "mostly idle" 'Code Helper (Renderer)' at 0.2%, which is at 7th or 8th position (and for instance below an idle iTerm2).

I suspect that the applications that use up a core when idle would do this also if Electron is not used (e.g. it's a property of the development team, not of the framework).

FWIW I seldom got any likes on Tinder in USA. I would consider myself in the top 10% of my own country in height and looks but not the same in USA. I realized that US women do not consider me attractive at least based on limited data that a Tinder card shows.
Not at this rate.

I remember we had a power outage in 2006, it actually took one of my services off air. Since then of course that has been rectified, and the loss of a building wouldn't impact on any of the critical, essential or important services I provide.
Perhaps is us, the customers (and our customers, and the customers of our customers, ...), the ones who should get used to the status of "things can go wrong"? Except for some specific scenarios (medical-related stuff, for instance), if my favourite online shopping place is down, well, it's down, I'll buy later.
Where's your Tinder bio in this article? I can't imagine creating a new account and publishing something obscene on any social platform today without being flagged or worse.
Probably depends on the GUI framework they're using. QT uses Chromium for its QtWebEngine. I think that would be one of the most sensible choices to achieve cross platform support.

1. I assume you’re trolling.

I mean from the explanation[0], assuming that is correct (I don't have evidence to suggest it's false) - you don't need to be multi-cloud, and you don't even need to be multi-region. As long as you're spread out over multiple availability zones in a region you should be resilient to this failure.

Somewhat surprising to see how many things are failing though, which implies, either that a lot of services aren't able to fail-over to a different availability zone, or there is something else going wrong.

> In the unlikely event that US falls, I don't think anybody would switch to anything else when communicating cross culturally, because people across the world are more likely to know broken English than even a single word of Mandarin.

I hope you are right; but it's one of the observations of sociolinguistics that a more "prestigious" language eventually wins out, and until recently, prestige was synonymous with power. I hope that with the arrival of the internet we may be past that, and that English has reached sufficient critical mass to stay dominant even after the fall of the US; but if history is any guide, a new superpower may eventually replace it with its language. This happened to Greek, Latin, French and German; it could happen to English too.
If you have to worry about banks banning you, you maybe shouldn't be in a position where you need to take financial advice from HN comments and you're likely better off with cash than an unstable asset that you can't easily eliminate without involving a bank.
Yes, almost as if performance doesn't happen on its own. It must be a stated goal and the whole team must work towards that goal (you really don't need a "dedicated performance team", with or without Electron).
You're free to believe whatever you want. They originally advertised a position which paid about twice as much as what I ended up taking. They expected years upon years of specific experience, I showed them a couple of mobile apps I made and they decided to hire me at a lower rate.

That job changed my life, I'd rather just accept some people are going to make more and some are going to make less then create a dystopia where you need 10 pages of documentation to justify every hiring. There's no way this law is going to work out the way people think it well, if anything it encourages less full-time work. If you run the risk of being audited by a fairness officer, why not just outsource it instead?

Why not lean on consultants more?

As discussed elsewhere, many companies are just not hiring people from Colorado, which has a similar law. I can't find a better example of this not working.
Same here. The butterfly felt much better than the Magic Keyboard. I also liked the way it sounded.

What I didn't like is that it went bad after 2 years of not very heavy use (I have an external keyboard). If Apple could make a reliable butterfly keyboard, I'd love to have it.

OTOH, I appreciate the new ones having a keyboard that feel closer to the pre-Magic ones (same feel as the pre-butterfly laptops). It's OK, if not a revolution.
I just wish there was anyone making good 4:3 monitors with modern panels that do not cost an arm and a leg. 4:3 is still my preferred screen ratio without a doubt for everything except watching movies, all current wide screen rations feel to vertically squashed for me, I always end up with half the screen unused and wishing I had a decimeter height more.

So I'm probably buying one of these if the price is not too outrageous, it seems like it's close enough to 4:3 to capture the same feeling.

It conveys reality, that "fail-safe" isn't literal, as if anyone believed that.
Moreover Tinder has an incentive to keep the paid users paid my making sure it is difficult for them to find a match. The most lucrative customers for matchmaking sites are the most desperate. Even with a lot of competition due to network effects most of the people would always be driven to the most popular sites.
He says he did nothing wrong anyway. They all do. Maybe he is telling the truth but it's hard to know.
My criticism on the original comment is not about his take on crypto, it is about taking that stance about quite literally anything.

If one refuses to argue because they believe the other side is irrational, then abstain for conversation instead of just name-calling/shitting on the thing on a public forum. This is somewhat equivalent to posting some egregious opinion and then saying "don't @ me".
Off the top of my head, there are at least two plausible explanations:

* Some user reported his account as "fake" or otherwise "inappropriate"

* The algorithm thought he faked his position

Neither one requires any intentional wrongdoing. It is what it is.
Anecdotally, I find myself thinking about what might make my accounts look like I'm up to something, and avoid it. Also anecdotally, I've seen others on HN talk about doing the same. People may not know what the algorithm is, but they can make some reasonable guesses at what it might take into account.
This is quite interesting as they claim their datacenter design does better than Uptime's Tier3+ design requirements which require redundant power supply paths. [https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/uptimeinstitute/]. I really hope they publish a thorough RCA for this incident.
The political competition in Poland is between the center-right and the far-right. If you look at someone like Donald Tusk, the stuff he promotes is all right-wing stuff: free markets, foreign investment, free movement of capital, minimal government oversight of the economy. It's pretty much the standard right-wing agenda of the last 100 years. He's simply moderate compared to someone like Kaczyński.

Maybe, but it seems there’s something about development teams that choose to write native apps that avoid that because I’ve never guessed an app was electron and been wrong using this method.

He didn't post screenshots of his profile so we have no idea what's on there, it's completely possible (likely, even) that his profile text did violate the TOS. Instant perma-ban might be a bit harsh but we have no reason to believe one side over the other and no evidence pointing either way.

They openly say in advance that they'll ban users who they think violated their terms, regardless of whether they actually did, keep their money, and never tell them why, except in South Korea where they already know that crap doesn't fly. It's only a matter of time till that gets thrown out by more courts in more countries. Until then, it seems foolish to give them any money.
