It could if you're a hobbyist buying/selling over $600 worth of used goods. Lots of online communities advise buyers and sellers to use PayPal goods & services for its protection.

Now, folks are on the hook for self-reporting. Previously, the thresholds were $20,000 and 200 transactions, which were maybe too lenient. Had lawmakers just halved the threshold to $10,000, I don't think most people would care. The $600 is too low, e.g. guitars easily fetch a grand, and Leica M bodies are easily over that.

Also, what are Nancy Pelosi's stock gains compared to any folks that might have been not reporting their illicit <$20k income?
If you want to pretend that Russian collusion was a fabrication, you have to explain why Senate Republicans found that Paul Manafort was exchanging internal campaign data with a Russian Intelligence Officer. So far, no one who I have encountered who believes that collusion was a hoax is able to explain this uncomfortable fact.

Here's what the Senate Intel. Committee concluded:

[B]ased on the facts detailed in the Committee's Report, that the Russian intelligence services' assault on the integrity of the 2016 U.S. electoral process[,] and Trump and his associates' participation in and enabling of this Russian activity, represents one of the single most grave counterintelligence threats to American national security in the modem era.

Again, that was the conclusion of the Republican majority Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, chaired by Republican Richard Burr. What about this is a fabrication?

What happened in 2020 is not that the election was more secure per se (although there was some foreign interference reported at the time, it was not as bad as in 2016), it was that Paul Manafort was not Trump's campaign manager. He was the main vector between the Trump campaign and Russia. And honestly at that point, Russia didn't have to do any work to get their propaganda on American airwaves, because Fox New was literally doing their job for them -- e.g. broadcasting the position that Ukraine was responsible for the 2016 DNC hacking, not Russia.

> the transfer of power turned out to be mostly peaceful - as usual.

Mostly peaceful? A violent insurrection at the Capitol during a joint session of Congress, sent there by the defeated President, with the explicit intention of preventing the transfer of power through force is not "mostly peaceful", I'm sorry. It actually marked the ignominious end of a 200+ year streak of peaceful transfers of power. Even during the Civil war something like 1/6 didn't happen.

You can set up all of the shell companies you want, but what you can't do is fake notarized statements and induce others to take actions based on them by transmitting them "over the wires."

Don’t care at all. Neighborhood character in California almost always either means McMansion from 90s/2000s or cheap 50s-70s ranch with some additions.

So basically web3.0 is just json-rpc calls to a cluster of peer servers that host distributed databases(e.g. blockchain that records your write-operations in stone) via a few portal servers, the portals are the gateway to the pool of blockchain-peer-servers and themselves are also part of the blockchain pool.

I've heard people complaining how hard IPv6 but I've never see a plan that is actually easier than migrating to IPv6. It's always massive CGNAT investment or making non-backwards compatible changes to IPv4 that is somehow "easier" to work with.
[name redacted] sexually assaulted me and emotionally abused me.

[name redacted] stalked me for weeks at my home while having me blocked which prompted me to reach out again from a different number.

He clearly did not want me to move on and sent several messages stating he was in love with me but needed me to “change.”

That change was accepting verbal, emotional abuse, infidelity, and sexual assault as well as giving up all my hobbies and friendships.

The abuse was so brutal, I could not believe someone that said they loved me so profoundly would do those things to me.

Perhaps he’s found someone that’s willing to accept abuse, but that’s not what the law says.
This was a very interesting article.

I started learning Solana recently to try and see what the fuss was all about. After getting beyond the basics I took a look at the technical concepts behind NFTs and my first reaction was literally - "this is creating something out of nothing". It was the equivalent of just inserting some rows into a database except that the operations were all logged in an immutable audit trail.

While I appreciate the value that a decentralized system of record with immutable log entries that the blockchain offers, I struggle to see how NFTs have value. But who am I to argue when buyers put their money into it.
Freelance and being a landlord is in fact a business and you do in fact need to pay business taxes as appropriate.

Again, this does not change personal taxes.
> pretty much nobody uses the actual STL anymore: What we use is called the C++ Standard Library.

I won't deny your prior, but my prior is that people who complain about the use of the word "STL" to mean "C++ Standard Library" (and ignore that the latter is 10 times as many keystrokes) do so only to flaunt their knowledge, not because anyone actually experiences confusion nowadays.

Supporting evidence: https://github.com/microsoft/STL
This law actually exists in Oregon and parts of Minneapolis. ADU laws were only in Oregon and Washington until recently, California's State-wide ADU push was part of a nationwide reform towards ADUs. The same is happening for SFRs.

Our federal governance structure doesn't provide enough $$$ for housing that isn't single family homes—until we change that, infill single family development is inherently subsidized by fannie and freddie -> I anticipate that other desirable areas will have to do this to stop out-migration and stay affordable.
Yep. Has to be using a large net of residential addresses in each country to not get banned by Google.
Re "early days," servers as clients, etc: There are a lot of very real problems with crypto, and the solution always lies in new technologies. Slow settlement and high gas fees? L2 networks. Limited global TPS? More L2 networks or alternative L1 chains. Wasteful energy use? Proof-of-stake. No connection to real world data? Oracles. Relying on centralized APIs? Light clients are in the works. Can't trust that you'll get an untampered version of the dapp? I don't even know the solution for this but I saw a very complicated flowchart about it, so I assume there is one.

Every layer adding more complexity and more fingers in the pie.

All the while, nothing ever actually seems to get fixed. Like, high gas fees has been a conversation for years and clever people have made dozens of solutions, but everybody seems to still use vanilla Ethereum.

And these problems don't seem to be the usual problems of new technologies dealing with limited feature sets and primitive tooling, these problems fundamentally undermine the whole point of blockchain. It's not like you can only make simple distributed apps and more advance stuff will arrive as the space matures, you literally can't make a practical, truly distributed app at the moment.

The more I learn about web3 the more it seems like vaporware, and the end result will be a bunch of web3-in-name-only, VC cash-grab apps.

flatpak requires a desktop session so one straightforward difference is that snaps make sense on servers and iot devices which has to be said is probably where 90% of linux systems live on, and I think where Canonical's business focus has been.
> On Thursday my father passed away from cancer. I was with him in his last breaths.

I was there with my dad when I was 11 and he was 46. I think about it almost daily 25 years later. I can still see him and feel his hand in my mind.

It is the most rotten gift you can receive and a pain that you could someday cherish. To think of the potential discomfort and maybe even fear as life comes to a close yet have their child there with them, for you to see your parent off, is a moment that many people don't have. A moment of which many people were robbed with the pandemic and isolation in hospitals.

Grief will come and go and time makes everything better.

None of us get out of here alive.

This is strikingly different and has a different impact. I was a volunteer firefighter for a long time and worked accidents with multiple casualties along with weeks of multiple calls and fatalities. Please talk to someone you trust or can relate to what you experienced. My details are in my profile if I am that person. Thank you for your act of kindness.
I’m not terribly up to date with IPFS (so feel free to correct me), but if I’ve understood it correctly, it’s not dissimilar to Bittorent where files are seeded by interested parties and if no one happens to be seeding any longer, the file is essentially dead?

It’s almost like you want some centralised entity to preserve copies of the images these NFTs link to.

I wonder how many IPFS-backed NFTs are only being seeded on nodes run by the big players like OpenSea?

Which invertible commutative string operation would you choose for + ?

This might be nice from a math point of view, but I think users are going to be confused using "string"^3 for repetitions (instead of "string"*3). + and * make too much sense to the unwashed masses.

At any rate, explicit is better than implicit.
Does the receipt actually give a number for how much CO2 emission was caused by each item? It would be interesting for customers to be able to compare that to something like the CO2 emitted by their car on their journey to and from the shop (assuming their car is at least partially/indirectly powered by fossil fuels).

Also I wonder if the amounts should be net of some minimum amount of CO2 per calorie. Assuming people aren't going to opt to not consume enough calories to live, and given that there is a minimum carbon footprint necessary to provide those calories, then I think that should be counted as a baseline or "allowance".

There is always a danger with gimmicky policies that they exploit the brain's "availability bias" and make us think we are having a big impact on a problem while actually distracting us from less obvious but higher priority (and higher impact) solutions.

This is effectively the usual "Let the charter system cherry-pick the good students and slag everybody else onto the public system."

This is "indemnity plan" vs HMO healthcare problem all over again. HMOs look really good while most people are on indemnity plans. The problem is that the more people wind up on HMOs, the more the expensive people wind up on the fewer indemnity plans. Eventually, the indemnity plans collapse and now the HMOs have to deal with everybody. And suddenly everybody is worse off because the HMOs were set up to bleed money out of the system in profit rather than simply cover people's healthcare.

The problem is the HN contingent always thinks that they won't be the ones with the child stuck in the public system. And that's probably mostly true--until they have the child with the behavioral problem, the learning disability, or the bad luck to get caught up in a disciplinary mess and now they are barred from these better schools.

Then ... EPIPHANY! ... Magically they realize that things are so horribly, terribly unfair.
Hypocrisy that is borderline unethical.

Why not import the built-in functions too? The only thing not requiring import can be import.

from python import def # now you can def

That should be even easier to track things; now you don't have to deal with the difficulty of def not being defined anywhere in your code. It's traced to an import, which is telling you that def comes from python, liberating you from having to know that and remember it.

Zelle is a fucking joke. I spent 2.5 hours between three departments because Chase locked my account because I tried to use Zelle to send money. They locked my account until I reached the right department, which had this very important concept for me, which I will now share with you: If you give someone money, the money is no longer yours. After sharing this mind-blowing concept, they unlocked my account. Bank of America was slightly less aggressive, and merely flagged the transaction as fraudulent (which required another phone call to complete - and they had the same concept to share with me).

By owning both ends of the transaction, the UX of Venmo is so much better it isn't even funny. I will never use Zelle again if I can help it. Zelle's limitations (set by each bank) are as bad as Venmo's (eg can only send $2,000/month to a recipient), at which point I might as well just keep using Venmo.
Though things are never cheaper to maintain than at the beginning of a tech bloom. Its only going to get more expensive to create and maintain as the node and the APIs get more complex.
This only makes your tax situation _more_ complex if you're intentionally engaging in tax evasion. If that's your use case, then I guess you have a valid complaint!
That's an expensive mistake. Isn't the business charged some small fee for every refund? It's not as bad as a chargeback, but I know it can't be free.

I’m well aware. It’s still their choice. It is absolutely a choice for them to behave this way. Why would any of us take the side of Lufthansa over the side of another airline? Possibly one that is actually flying passengers around? I’d respect them more if they said “we actually believe it’s a stupid idea to burn fuel pointlessly, we’ll take the side of the world’s good over our own medium-term interests”.
Periodically wipe and restore your phone from scratch or a known clean image, periodically change your number.

I wish more developers would abide by the old saying "don't fix it if it ain't broke." It's one thing to update because you know a newer version has fixed a bug you're experiencing, but if everything is already working as you'd expect, IMHO you're just asking for trouble. There's a reason a lot of the infrastructure systems that many people don't even know about --- until something breaks --- hasn't changed in literally decades.

(Of course, "everything is working" might not be true, in which case you could be trading one bug for some others. But the sad state of "modern" software development is a rant I won't go into here...)
The issue is always, that 3D printing saves on framing. Framing is a small part of the total. You can't print windows, doors, appliances, electrical or plumbing out of concrete.

You're right—we are limited in what is and isn't an HOA—the public data isn't great. We're working on it!

For space—you'd be surprised what we can fit, but there are certain lots where it will be impossible without demolishing and re-building a smaller home. We don't currently do that, so in that case, you are out of luck for now, but you can go it alone. We do love fighting with HOAs!
Ah, gotcha, fair

I see you live in San Francisco, presumably you haven't lived there long, and presumably you've never actually talked with a homeless person or a "less wealthy" individual who would benefit from your ideas.

SF spends over a billion dollars a year on the homeless, and I have trouble finding a homeless person who receives 10 cents. The money, I'm suggesting, is almost all stolen, it ends up in salaries, pensions and political donations - with almost nothing reaching the homeless.

Collectivism is a great concept. It's academic, and you have the ability to accuse strangers of "not caring about the less wealthy". Personally, I think you are a fool who is being taken advantage of by politicians who are stealing your money to pad their pockets.

My challenge to you, is try to find some of the billion dollars SF spends each year on the homeless to reach just one individual. Just one person. Then come back and ask me for more money.
I'm with you. Usually when it comes up in pop culture, it's not mentioned that the host can't open a door with a prize. That's the only reason it's confusing.
I'm not sure that's a correct interpretation of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29840535. To me it read like the generic "why is this on HN" comment that people routinely post when they see a story that's non-tech or otherwise doesn't fit their (mistaken) model of what HN is supposed to be. (What annadane accurately called "the usual tired trope": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29840915.) It shows up a lot on "$Person has died" threads, among other places.

> I disagree. AMD has offered ECC support for a while and it’s not catching on. It doesn’t make sense to blame this on Intel.

It does make sense. Imagine if only 50% of web browsers supported a feature, would you implement it in your website?

Point being, the low market share of ECC-compatible setups means that the market demand for ECC is low, which means that the selection is low, which means the prices are higher than they could be. So yes, absolutely Intel has contributed massively to the issue.
Seems like a by your own logic comment here.
Surely a global shortage of a certain very specific good is different than a local shortage of everyday consumer goods.

I hope you are right that this is not a serious issue. I can only say that I ran into this, as well as being unable to reliably get on a flight, as well as being unable to easily aquire a PCR test required for international travel all within the same 3 week period.

The mongoid repository (https://github.com/mongodb/mongoid) doesn't have issues turned on and instead points people to JIRA. That's one way to avoid users reporting issues like this - I'd see JIRA and "nope" right out.
Zelle also has major issues like holding your money for undefined periods of times without any way to do anything. I’m talking about values like $1000. Under $2500. Have never seen this happen on a Cash App or Venmo.
A deed is to land, the land still exists if the house is gone. Your example is more like owning a title to a car that's been shot into the sun. It has 0 value.

I like the wording in the MATLAB docs (since Matlab committed the original sin, the axes/axis/figure API has been around since the late '80s, matplotlib is just a port to python):

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/axes.html

So they emphasize the cartesianess of the axes.
An unfortunate thing is that process substitution does not work in git bash on Windows. (at least it was the case last time I tested; googling around I found a random comment in random github repo saying it's been fixed in 2.25 but I don't have a laptop handy to test it now).
No they refunded everyone immediately.
