People have always used dollars on countries that prohibit it. On Brazil we used to have even official black market prices, that were announced nationwide on TV every day.

Anyway, yes, non-discriminating electronic money movement is a great product that improves the lives of many people. Blockchains are a very bad implementation of that concept and remove a lot of its potential value. If we are able to get some other one working, it's for the better.
After reading only the headline, I'm not surprised.
As a person with a minimalism view on possessions - I've often wondered if with today's technology such as self vacuuming robots, etc. if we designed new houses around said technology and what it could do today - could many more people be able to have robotic house cleaning.

If you could spec out a house to have only unscratchable concrete floors, rounded corners, all furniture must have adequate clearance, a Roomba would be way more effective.

I'd buy a house with a spartan bathroom if that meant I never had to houseclean.

Let’s all hope Match loses, they have a pattern of buying out every competitor, and ruining the experience by filling it with bots.

It takes a ton of courage to stand up to a bully who knows they can just bled you dry in court. I will never use a dating app again after a very scary experience, but competition needs to exist in this space.

Best of luck!

Hopefully this sets a precedent where big companies can’t just bully anyone who wants to compete.
Thanks for explaining, both of you.
For programming, I can see that, definitely. But when I'm writing an essay, there are many times where I can't type as fast as I can think, and it drives me nuts. I end up resorting to using a voice recorder and transcribing it later. Because sometimes the ideas can come out quickly, but it's still easy to forget them if they're not written down.
Is there any reason you wouldn't use a standalone pocket sound recorder, or alternatively the sound recorder app on your phone?
Great: carmakers keep adding more technology to distract drivers - huge in-your-face screens and phone-related junk - and now will be adding more tech to see if you're driving poorly.

At least people can sit on the side of the road and check their Facebook while waiting for the car to reset. Seems better than having them on the road doing it.
I don't know about DPRK but I have been to Cuba for a 2 weeks vacation, so I had time to go out of the default tourists spots.

What I've seen is this: Those who have access to tourists or to the government are rich. Corruption is rampant as I've seen people bribing police right at the airport to have their things sorted out.

The mainstream corruption in society revolves around casa particulars and taxis. Essentially, you have right to rent a room and you have right to ride a taxi but there are strict limits on how much you can do it. So what more entrepreneurial people do? Simply distribute the business ownership to their friends and relatives on paper and keep growing and running their enterprises.

Also, there are two different types of shops and businesses: Locals only shops, locals only restaurants, locals only buses that are at very poor quality and I believe they are free or heavily subsidised and there are better quality versions that have prices similar to the European countries(prices way beyond a person with a salary can afford). So who do you think eats at these expensive restaurants? Yes, tourists - but also people who have access to tourists and people who work for the government.

One day a wandered around my casa particular in Havana and ended up in a place with very nice houses quite close to governmental buildings. I took some photos, enjoyed the place and ate at a restaurant. Then I noticed that the restaurant got very busy with military personel and well dressed people. Those were definitely not tourists, those were people from the nearby governmental buildings having a dinner after work.

Very interesting experience overall. Almost completely positive, full of life lessons about so many things including classes in the society where they are not supposed to exists. I'm also convinced that consumerism is not the only way to a happy life and abundance and excess are not necessarily the answer. The first week was hard, the second week I was completely happy to have only 2 options for beer and 1 option for chocolate.

The Argentinian govt. could just as easily put the same restrictions as it does on USD today. They can (if they want to) also ensure that no commercial establishment accepts BTC.

No experience with Twilio, but yours makes me glad that's not the case.

As another small biz, I've had very good experience with Phone.com over the past several years. Prompt and solid tech support the few times I need it (mostly for configuration and 'is there a way to do this peculiar thing?' questions), and mostly just works.
I always start with HAOLE
Ye since private computer chatting essentially died out I see no use for fast typing anymore. When I and all my friends communicated via computer text typing fast would have been really convenient.

Ergonomic typing however, I guess is important. And I am bad at that. Looking down to find the keys might be a bad habit? I have almost trained that away.
They had a perfectly working browser and replaced it with a broken one with no support for extensions, printing/PDF, and WebAuthn.

about:config is currently disabled, so for instance setting proxies no longer work. Ah, I see one of the … 18 supported extensions is a proxy setter.

Basically they shipped premature beta software and abandoned the stable working version.

Land is expensive because everyone wants to live within the same 5-mile radius around the "good jobs". There's lots of land in the U.S; there are very few corporate headquarters of growing companies.

At the same time, it's hard to fault buyers for this. Commuting sucks (what price do you put on 2 hours out of your day?), and the difference between a "good job" and an "okay job" can be an order of magnitude in income these days.
Read the last two lines again. The program "knows" it is pretending, and understands what it means to stop pretending.
If more countries ban crypto mining we can successfully perform a 51% attack and destroy the value of Bitcoin, which should eradicate this useless and wasteful technology forever. Hopefully more countries follow suit and the attack can begin.
> It would be amazing if an Omicron infection produced antibodies that fought off COVID & Delta, as that could rapidly bring relief to the pandemic, but I haven’t seen that suggested anywhere yet.

There has been a study that suggests Omicron infection provides protection against previous variants. This correlates with data from the UK that suggests Omicron is displacing Delta.

Mental effects are unfortunately pretty hard to measure reliably or even control, so people trying to do "cold hard science" tend to disregard it. It is easy to write off claims as unscientific if they are hard to replicate in lab conditions, but it does not mean they are necessarily false.
Finally an impartial institution goes after the crypto/climate question and will disclose the results in an open source fashion. That will be a milestone.

Perhaps the question is: do banks / fiat money institutions cause more damage to climate, or crypto mines. My gut feeling is a close tie.

> I also like how they cover only copying the files you actually need, particularly with things like vendor or node_modules, you might be better off just doing a volume mount instead of copying it over to the entire image.

I'd highly suggest not to do that. If you do this, you directly throw away reproducibility, since you can't simply revert back to an older image if something stops working - you need to also check the node_modules directory. You also can't simply run old images or be sure that you have the same setup on your local machine as in production, since you also need to copy the state. Not to mention problems that might appear when your servers have differing versions of the folder or the headaches when needing to upgrade it together with your image.

Reducing your image size is important, but this way you'll loose a lot of what Docker actually offers. It might make sense in some specific cases, but you should be very aware of the drawbacks.
I think the point of touch typing is not about being able to type a novel per month, but about spending less mental effort on typing. No matter whether you touch type "properly" or not, the ability to keep focusing on the screen eliminates micro context switches between thinking and typing.
UH, you guys dont recall that this keyboard came out in the 80s?

And it was designed so that you can have them on your thighs and type whilst standing with arms at relaxed hanging?

I loved the idea of chorded-keyboards and I posted in the past about an engineer famous at intel for coding on them on his recumbant bike he would ride to the santa clara campus down san thomas expressway - connecting via a satellite phone and coding in binary in his head as he rode his boke and typed on these guys...
My point was that he might have been fired for the way he communicated the content and not so much the content. After his essay was removed from the internal forums the first time, he fought tooth an nail to get it back. Either way, this is also a sign of a poor cultural fit (regardless of whether the culture was good or bad). I am not saying whether it was justifiable to fire him, just that there are more aspects than just the message.
Appreciate this insight and I agree with you.

And I can definitely circle back here when our limited use tier goes live. Agree on that too.
That article doesn't seem to say anything about "100% prevalence".
It depends on the crime. If I bought drugs on a darknet exchange how would the researcher know to include that in the 0.15%?

They don't. Not unless, e.g. that exchange gets busted and leaks all of its data.

This title should really be "easily identified illicit transactions constitute 0.15% of trading volume".

Which I'd say counts as a lot.
Really hard to generalize. I think people get such varied offers, and depending on what year they’re on & how their vesting schedule works it could be higher or lower. Companies also change vesting schedules and such, and I assume levels.fyi data would get stale too.
I did about the same and I got alot better, but I think I need to practice a bit more to not fall back when I don't think about it.

Crippling ecological cost? Think of the crippling cost of printing actual money from cut trees. Pressing daily newspapers can be considered insanity.

Cryto is fixing economic structural problems for the parent poster.
> Most people in HN who are among the wealthy end of spectrum have no idea how inflation is affecting most people lives.

There are numerous articles every week about the “great resignation” and staffing shortages in foodservice and other industries as everyone leaves for higher paying jobs.

Wages are going up. It’s not the end of the world.

> Most are desperately looking for opportunities to make enough returns.

Stock market has been outpacing inflation just fine. Classic investment advice still holds.

Those “returns” in crypto can only come from selling coins to someone else in the future. It relies on a constant stream of convincing new people to turn over their real money in exchange for virtual money.

> While most shitcoins and NFTs will tumble, the topcoin rallies are not going to stop until the economy gets roaring back

What a weird thing to say when the economy is roaring, unemployment is low, and top cryptos are steadily declining.
If it matters almost the same thing has been happening in my country (Romania), only that around these parts of the world we have FB as a replacement for Twitter.

I personally regard it as a coping mechanism for the people that follow these newly created Covid personalities, the bad thing is that in most of the cases the mainstream media copy-pastes those posts/messages and presents them as the truth, even though there are many devils hidden in the statistical details most of the time.
My evidence is arithmetic? Someone who is leveraged with debt into assets now owns a larger piece of the pie (which we can loosely define as wealth) than they did before if the money supply increases compared to people who aren't levered into assets or just hold cash.
Interesting, thanks, I'll have a look at Mapbox terrain RGB.
Will be interesting to see the resolution of a LIDAR tile set if Mapbox are going to have one, I've found that I could sometimes find low-resolution free data (5M / 10M etc), but that higher resolution 25cm/50cm/1M etc was often commercial and very expensive, but that gives much more accurate results in city areas. I'll have a look at Nextzen also.
Ok glad you agree it can't be stopped.

It definitely is not extremely difficult. Even tangible stuff like pot that doesn't have nearly the value density (you can fit billions of USD crypto on a wallet stored on memory smaller than 1/8th bag of pot) was extraordinarily easy to obtain for me as a kid in a place where it was illegal both by state and federal government's law. And there's no drug dog to sniff it out.

A chinese citizen could laughably easily obtain crypto.

I believe the k in “15k” is a suffix and thus not beholden to the rules of SI prefixes. In this case it is used as shorthand for “thousand”, and this usage is prevalent even in countries where SI units are not commonly used.

Insisting on changing 15k mAh to 15 Ah is the same as insisting on changing 15000 mAh to 15 Ah - which seems to be a matter of personal preference more than anything.
Those kinds of heists are probably 1% of illicit transactions. We're talking more about buying drugs and exchanging crypto between two seemingly clean wallets.
They rewrote it recently, and not only a lot of features didn't make it through, but it also lost most of the extensions.

Still beats Chrome hands down. But it used to be better.
You can use "--squash" to remove all intermediate layers

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/#...

The downside of trying to jam all of your commands into a gigantic single RUN invocation is that if it isn't correct/you need to troubleshoot it, you can wind up waiting 10-20 minutes between each single line change just waiting for your build to finish.

You lose all the layer caching benefits and it has to re-do the entire build.

Just a heads up for anyone that's not suffered through this before.
Every now and then I break out dive and take a look at container images. Almost without fail I'll find something we can improve.

The UX is great for the tool, gives me absolutely everything I need to see, in such a clear fashion, and with virtually no learning curve at all for using it.
yup, i've always made this point as "we're all experiential learners" (the active and constructive). that some folks can get by ok with passive learning (aural, textual, etc.) is just a bonus for them.
True. I also forgot about Java ME...
The article doesn't seem to do much... in the 'why'. I'm inundated with how, though.

I've been on both sides of this argument, and I really think it's a case-by-case thing.

A highly compliant environment? As minimal as possible. A hobbyist/developer that wants to debug? Go as big of an image as you want.

It shouldn't be an expensive operation to update your image base and deploy a new one, regardless of size.

Network/resource constraints (should) be becoming less of an issue. In a lot of cases, a local registry cache is all you need.

I worry partly about how much time is spent on this quest, or secondary effects.

Has the situation with name resolution been dealt with in musl?

For example, something like /etc/hosts overrides not taking proper precedence (or working at all). To be sure, that's not a great thing to use - but it does, and leads to a lot of head scratching
No, it’s one keystroke, executed in 1/32 second.
It seems that you are just ignoring my comment, and ignoring the overwhelming wealth of research and expert opinion on this topic.

Do I understand correctly that you are saying, for example, that lockdowns will somehow eliminate a virus from animal reservoirs? Or stop spread within a household? Or ameliorate rare but important cases in which a host remains contagious for much longer than is typical?

Horizontally interdiction is sometimes possible with pathogens with spread via the fecal-oral route, or STIs, or arboviruses, or hemorrhagic fevers, etc.

But a highly contagious respiratory pathogen with robust, worldwide animal reservoirs? I do not agree that it is "scientific fact" (whatever that phrase even means) that mere separation of humans can achieve a reduction in adverse outcomes (setting aside, as you rightly acknowledge, the collateral effects).
It costs about $20 to buy the carbon offsets for a single bitcoin transaction (at least according to the first article I found on Google), so double that for the two transactions to receive and then sell. Carbon offsets in practice are often not as much as what you're paying for, so you would probably need to buy more of them to truly offset.

You would also have to factor in the pollution from e-waste generated by miners buying and replacing ASICs, although that's harder to quantify.

But we should also consider whether engaging in such a transaction is worthwhile as a matter of principle. If the organization's goals include environmentalism, does legitimizing Bitcoin by advertising their acceptance of it run counter to those goals?

I work in container shipping in Europe. Everything is coordinated by e-mailing EDI files (baplie, coprar, iftdgn etc.) Back and forth. Tens of millions containers per year.

Even though it should be a standard, you can't just e-mail a file to someone and except it to work. There's always integration work needed on both sides. Even then, errors frequently occur where you have to manually adjust something. I work on the operational side, but have become quite the edifact expert just to be able to do my work.

I see, thanks for following up!

We did try to reduce the permissions as much as possible, but I believe at this time every permission is required by some feature. I get your point though, and I'll try to see what else we can do in this regard.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, just to be clear we don't log every visited site (or log browsing in general); the only time data is added to the database is when the user actively adds a comment/creates content.

Currently we send the URL as is; its only stored though if you are writing a comment or sharing the site with friends. I do like the hashing idea but ultimately when someone does leave a comment or share it, we do store it without hashing so later users can filer it and so on. Please let me know if I misunderstood your question!
If you treat people and the history of their social relations like so many petri dishes, and nothing more can be believed or assured than inputting variables and observing the output, I can see how you would have your conceits. It is just, to me, a lonely and empty way to think about humanity. Want to believe we can do better, or really just believe anything at all, which it doesn't seem your worldview would allow. But that's just me.

People forget that it knocks so many people down at once in a short time, and with quarantine rules in force. It is more contagious than flu/cold. Imagine what would happen every year in winter if this becomes the new normal.

No, no it is not. These are legitimate consentual messages, regardless of the content. Please stop applying mechanical interpretations of obtuse rules and pretending it's some profound wisdom. Twilio and the rest of Big Tech are already doing this enough, thank you.

Ultimately I think this problem is the end game of companies finding ways to absolve themselves of any liability through contracts of adhesion. When there is no downside to harming 1% of your customers besides losing 1% of revenue, biasing for egregious false positives makes financial sense. Same thing with terrible customer service policies crafted around keeping costs down, that prevent easily correcting these terrible automated decisions. About the only thing one can do is signal boost so others stay the fuck away from services built on broken assumptions, hopefully turning that 1% into maybe 10% where it starts to hurt them and they're once again encouraged to do competent system design.
