This doesn't look like a fit and healthy man and I don't some that isn't fit and healthy should dole out advice on how to control a chaotic system such as human physiology using engineering.

Perhaps - and this is a theory I subscribe to: less fat/weight loss isn't what we're trying to achieve as a goal. Perhaps just being fit is. And fit looks different for different people because genetics. And what I mean is, is there lean muscle mass on a person's body (irregardless of % of fat, to a large degree). If I look at this photo of Mr. Walker, to me he looks skinny fat, which I think is just as bad as being "fat".

Just as an idea - as one who has a BMI of 25.8 and who could also run a marathon, then pump out 10 or so pullups. I think fat % or weight in general is just the wrong metric to use.
Totally, but as the article points out, you only have the URL. You can't store more than a few bytes on chain so the link can point to a Facebook URL, OpenSea URL, etc which you don't own. So unless you are going to store small messages, what's different?
> It would be easy to look at the very early computers, which were perhaps not all that useful, and shrug — but that take wouldn't have extended well into the future as the technology scaled.

Early computers solved problems they were designed to solve. So they were plenty useful. Your statement is nonsensical.
The child benefit thing was a complete clusterfuck and racism was only part of it.

Basically the tax service decided some people were scamming the child daycare support system and turned on them. Any attempts to fight it from the parents were stonewalled and people were fined and got into massive debt and some even committed suicide. Most of them had done nothing wrong. The problem here is the Dutch tax system that has a "guilty unless proven innocent" setup.

Then when it was brought to attention by some politicians they were stonewalled and eventually even sidelined. The mainstream politicians kept turning their eyes away.

Eventually it did blow up in the media. The government fell. However the same people that turned a blind eye are now incumbent to government once again. The whistleblowers were rewarded with a snarky remark to "find a function elsewhere".

The racism here is bad but it's only the tip of the iceberg.
There’s already an exception of up to $2300/year for a nanny tax. Less than that, and you don’t have to file for them. Yes, they should have dramatically increased the nanny tax exemption - ideally up to the standard deduction.
This article also helps me appreciate how important the "small node" approach is. Bitcoin and Ethereum nodes can run on $200 of hardware (a basic Raspberry Pi + 1 TB drive). And even that investment is inaccessible to most.
There is no such thing as perfect alignment of incentives.

If this were the case, real estate brokers wouldn’t on average have their property on the market longer, and sell for a higher price, then their clients. The classic Freakonomics example.

80/20% profit split is a nice round number, it’s unlikely that this is where perfect alignment is found. If the split was 100/0 or 0/100, we definitely know incentives are not aligned, and so reductio as absurdem there are split points at which the incentives aren’t aligned. In fact, there is likely at most 1 equilibrium of perfect alignment, and the rest aren’t. Furthermore, if 80/20% is fixed as your company changes and administrative costs, production/resource cost changes, then the incentives for each party is constantly changing.
> So essentially, red-pilled means "I learned(or at least think so) something which the mainstream(god I hate that word in the political context) does not know."

I think the definition is narrower. I think it's something that completely shifts your persecptive, that is relvelatory. I know things about certain policy issues that the mainstream doesn't - or about IT, but it's not the same.

> if what you think you've learned is objectively true, then you were red-pilled, if it's objectively wrong you just invented a new conspiracy theory.

This is the nature of all knowledge - there is no way around thinking critically, using all the skills (empiricism, post-modernism, etc.); it's never easy.
> It basically means hypocrisy and/or insincerity toward popular progressive causes.

A bizarre claim only made by people who attack progressives.

That's Bitcoin's intent as the first sentence of the original whitepaper. The intent is on transactions. In practice, it's an ossified store of value now.

It isn't the Monty Hall problem if the host doesn't know where the prize is. The problem is generally stated, up funny, the host knows where the prize is.
The issue isn't poorly worded, it is that a lot of people can't understand how two doors don't represent half and half.
You are correct, in that if that just randomly selects one of the two doors, occasionally he will reveal the prize, changing to odds. Which is why it is usually started that the host knows and selects she empty door.

It says that dismissing anything therein can’t have any of those qualities. It presupposes accepting the topic or the discussion thereof.
It sounds like my issue.

If there are scripts that fix it, those scripts should be run automatically by the installer. Otherwise, it's just not a desktop replacement. I'm sorry to have to say this, but to call it a desktop replacement means it has to:

1. just work

2. failing that, detect the problem and explain what to do. Crashing is just not acceptable anymore.

I do support all the time for the D compilers. In my experience, if the install does anything but "just work", you immediately lose 50-90% of your users.

Every error path in the installer needs to be gone over and engineered to "just work". Messages like:

"Unknown Error: TXerr 66x53 failed, aborted"

are so 1980's :-/

It is costly, but not inefficient. This is what we do at my company and our products monetize our blockchain indexing operations. We are doing it all open source and are in the process of decentralizing our operations, so that:

1. anyone who operates a node can contribute time on their node for a share of our revenue

2. anyone can host one of our blockchain crawlers for a share of our revenue

3. anyone can contribute storage to our platform for a share of our revenue

We currently support Ethereum and Polygon, and are expanding to more chains.

I found this an excellent article, but the HN discussion (not calling out your comment specifically) seems to miss the fact that, as programmers, it is fully within OUR power to create the world we want to operate in.

Edit: To clarify - we run our own nodes. Currently on AWS but we are running out of credits soon so soon in our offices and living rooms, and eventually in data centers.
>Even now, almost everything is led by a white person. Even in animation, almost everyone is white. Or look at sci-fi movies, where there are often as many or more alien species as non-white humans.

If not "almost everything [was] led by a white person" it would be an under or over representation of multiple races, at least if it is supposed to be a "representation" of the western world*. You can google "us race demographics" and it will conveniently bring up a table showing 76.3% white and 13.4% black. I think some people forget that a motely crew of exactly one of every race is someone's utopian ideal with no basis in reality. And it's not hard to extend that idea to any arbitrary subset of humans in almost any context.

*The entire world isn't any "better": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_world

Edit: googled "actor demographics":

There are over 19,730 Actors currently employed in the United States. 32.1% of all Actors are women, while 63.9% are men. The average age of an employed Actor is 37 years old. The most common ethnicity of Actors is White (59.5%), followed by Hispanic or Latino (15.6%) and Black or African American (13.9%).

If someone's personal experience with actor demographics doesn't reflect that, its most likely because what they typically watch doesn't reflect it and not because of a systemic imbalance.

That's 4 years runway in my country, living a comfortable life. I'm certain I could build an app that makes more within that period of time. Or even if it's not a profitable app, it would be substantial research into... something.

There's an untapped customer market of Solo RP. Basically people who take something like D&D and become the player and the GM, but most don't enjoy playing both roles. It's not necessarily D&D; there's hundreds of tabletop rules that people just want to experiment with but can't find interested friends. Video games don't really work because they're railroaded and don't give as much agency.

There's some basic tools like Mythic GM emulator, which is basically a set of rules to make things surprising. This is something that can be done 10x better with just an app, and done 100x better with an app + GPT-3.

From that, you can branch into a new genre of gaming based around AI.

Some will bring up AI Dungeon, but the downside there is that AI is terrible at maintaining state. The game is good at simulating a date between you and your possessed spear. But 15 mins later, it will forget about your demonic spear boyfriend. Humans are great at maintaining these states, and making the call whether this should be a big part of the game they're playing or not. AI Dungeon is poor at conflict resolution - you stab the dragon once with your magic spear and there's maybe a 50% chance of instantly killing it, because it's not tracking injury or difference in strength, or even plausibility. Humans and RP systems handle this much better.

Can something like this make over $200k? I'd bet on it. AI Dungeon certainly did.
HH is less likely than H (.25 vs .5), but HT is also less likely than H and by the same amount. HH and HT are equally likely. This extends to HHHHHH and HHHHHT, and so on. There’s no way to frame the gambler’s fallacy that makes it a better bet.

The probability that there will be one T somewhere in the sequence is a lot higher than the probability that there will be no T. That's only because there are a lot of somewheres for the T to be, but only one way for there to be no T. But once you have already seen 99 H, you still have precisely zero information about the next fair flip, and there's no way around it.

If you must make predictions about the streak as a whole, you have to lock them in before the first flip. Otherwise you piss off both Claude Shannon and Tony Soprano.
Hard to believe that Mr. Daniels is still alive all these years later.
The FDA could've had the policy that the data is scrubbed and made available as its ingested. And, quite honestly, I see this complaint of theirs as one made in bad faith. Once they have no other choice, they'll comply in a lot faster than 3/4 of a fucking century.

Really, I see FOIA requests as failures of government; as in they represent the government being poked to be transparent when transparency should be the default.
This. Every few months I think that I should get an iPad as a light weight browser / video player alternative to traveling with my awesome new (but heavy and large) MacBook Pro.

"Institution-grade store of value?" Maybe if you mean an asylum.
I never thought about it this way before: Are we in a dirty industry? Perhaps we should be cleaning up the place, as a responsibility and as enlightened self-interest.

I have a degree and I'm extremely suspicious of any study that wants to extract strong statements from only experimental evidence connecting (1) a very basic ingredient of just about any foodstuff (2) the gut microbiome and (3) "memory function" as only observed through further experiments.

You could make your career from studying just tiny tiny parts of 2 or 3 but instead we got a study that is trying to solve for the world.
Anything that we enact into law is "lawful", it's circular reasoning. It doesn't say anything about the ethics of the situation. If 80% of people agree democratically to murder the other 20%, it will be lawful, but does it suddenly become ethical? And if they change the word so that it's "lawful execution" does that make it OK?

In the same vein, I'm using the common definition of "robbery" without any legitimizing window dressing. I'm asking "under what circumstances is it ethical to rob people?" and "under what circumstances is it ethical to enslave them?"

Surely some exist. For instance, being drafted to fight a war and being enslaved are basically equivalent in terms of lived experience. We've decided that yes, in order to defend society against existential threats it's ethical to enslave people. I don't disagree, and would like to point out adherence to the maxim of violating liberty only in direct defense of liberty.

But this does frame the draft to fight WWII and the Vietnam War differently. It's much harder to make the case that North Vietnam was an existential threat to US liberty, so drafting/enslaving people to fight there seems much less ethical.

Following this line of reasoning, the question is "Is it ethical to rob people to pay doctors?". And since lacking a doctor doesn't deprive anyone of liberty, the answer must be "No".

You'll note that all of this can basically be derived from the following (from the Declaration of the Rights of Man)

> 1. Men are born and remain free and equal in rights...

> 4. Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights...
Last time I tried Zelle, it did not support my credit union, so it's a non-starter.
Thanks for the info. Yeah a monastery would be nice. Definitely goals.
Coming up red 10 times in a row is expected to happen once every 2000 rolls. Given 45 spins an hour that means a table will spin red 10 times in a row once a month. Given a casino with 20-30 tables you can expect to see it once a day. Hardly a reason to shake your faith.

To disagree with the post: I have always wanted to run my own servers. But for most of my time on the internet, my upload speeds have been garbage, my IP addresses have been dynamic, and my computers have been behind NATs.

The basic networking architecture during Web 1 wasn't suited to Web 1. Had it been, there might have been more people experimenting with running home servers, more work going into developing home server solutions, and thus more momentum to building that version of the web.
Something tells me you have more ideas on how to make a language or programming environment more welcoming, and less intimidating for new learners. Please go on :-)
Whether or not the host knows where the prize is absolutely makes a difference. There's a reason why it's stated twice in TFA, very unambiguously, that the host is intentionally opening a door they know does not contain the prize.

In the case of a host that doesn't know where the prize is, your odds don't improve by switching. Think of it slightly differently: Imagine you pick a door, and then the host, who has no idea what's behind the doors, also picks one. Then the remaining door opens and reveals that there's nothing behind it. There's really no difference between your choice and the hosts.

> Can you offer your software as a SaaS service with value added features? This is the best way to make money in B2B software and gives you protection against copycats. The usual model is to let people try out the open source version and then run a SaaS version that removes all the pain of operations.

Well, it's a build system along the same lines as Nix and Bazel. I've thought about offering something like Nix-as-a-Service or Bazel-as-a-Service. But I don't know how attractive that would actually be for companies.

We have built an open source tool that you can connect to any node (on an Ethereum-based blockchain) and instantly start building datasets about contracts that you care about. All you need is their ABI.

https://github.com/bugout-dev/moonworm

We are committed to keeping this code free. Our policy is only to charge for our operational expertise, but all the code that we use is open source. We are in the process of opening our platform up for decentralization (so anyone can contribute node time, storage, etc.).

Intellectual property is theft.
I always thought of this as a bullshit sleight-of-language problem. Realistically, it doesn't make a difference if you switch, because the chance of the prize being behind any door is 50%. The choice doesn't 'carry over' it's probability.

You make a decision on one door out of 100. The odds are 1/100.

Then all doors are eliminated besides one door and the one you already chose. the probability of the other door is 50%, BUT the probability of choosing the same door is 50% as well.
> Can you please cite examples? I've never seen any software do that.

Well, almost no one actually says “input is read from fd 0 (stdin) and 4”, for example. Generally you say “input is read from file1 and file2”, and then the user can pass “/dev/fd/0 /dev/fd/4” as arguments. This copes better when the parent process doesn’t want to close any of its inherited file descriptors.

A better criticism is it's impossible to come up with an objective definition for "top" for seed stage companies, it's really just their opinion of who they like the best and they're masquerading it as being successful investors. They don't have a track record and they're just regurgitating what every investor says - "we pick the best because it's our job!"

They're spewing bullshit. That opening line alone tells me they're copying every other VC (and most VCs lose money) while simultaneously portraying themselves as being better than every other VC.

YC succeeded by completely subverting what everybody thought VC had to be. You can't expect to be better by doing the same thing as everyone else.
This is true today. But the standard approach in this industry is to start by offering access to an open service and then quickly build in value-add services that aren’t available in the open service. So for example, the smart move would be for Infura to offer a proprietary chain or rollup that gets widely used but isn’t available outside of Infura. If they can pull that off, competition could get much harder.

The lower exemption is intended for like, occasional babysitting. A full-time nanny earns more like $40-50k around here; somewhat less elsewhere, but not less than half that. Still -- why should nanny income up to the standard deduction not be reported? Other workers making similar income have their income reported and are responsible for filing and paying taxes.
