This guy is what you call a piece of work. Here's one of his more interesting quotes:

“And on the climate change issue, just a little anecdote, when I first heard about this was when I was working at Forbes Magazine, and somebody was saying, well, they’re claiming that we’re going to warm up the climate, and it’s going to get up to about nine degrees warmer. And I turned to the person and I said, you mean that we’ll be able to have palm trees growing down Fifth Avenue in New York now? And I didn’t see this was a particular problem.”

But you could already tell this was a bogus article, just from the glaringly misleading bar chart up at the very top.

Unfortunately I doubt that "recaptcha solver" can be built as browser extension. Most of advanced bots for parsing automation built on proprietary platforms like ZennoPoster and they basically heavily modify Firefox / Chromium.

Also latency of human-recognition service is quite high so while you wouldn't need to solve it you'll need to wait for number of seconds anyway.
TinyGem is built exactly for this purpose.

It automates the process of discovery based on previous interest.

> the ports, the farmland, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley serve to paint over the rot.

In what universe are these things a coat of paint? In California's economy, these things are the whole damn tree: the roots, the trunk, the leaves, all of it. It might have a couple rotting branches, but it yields so much fruit that people just don't care.
But then it’s just back to trust based web2, you’re trusting internet archive. That’s his point: this isn’t leading to trust less decentralization in practice. To do that, you’d have to store the NFT data on chain, which is prohibitively expensive

Is there any market pressure that will demand a change to the cryptographic hash? Is any of the current speculation concerned in any way about the content hosted at the URL, or just the current value of the NFT and what you can sell it for.
I just want to cheerlead the Hacker News community for a moment. You’re all awesome! I scrolled down expecting to see the inevitable negative comment, and there’s zero, zip, nada. It made me hopeful that in 12 years or so my son or daughter might be able to do a Show HN.

Keep it up everyone :) Just really happy that people are so encouraging.

And of course, great work Varun. I look forward to what you make next!
Does this need to be done for things like splitting rent? I'm charged the full amount monthly and my partner sends half to me.

It's also annoying if you're driving down the turnpike right after a snow-storm. The turnpike is clear but the attendants are snowed-in. Once waited for over an hour for the only attendant to pump, but we weren't going to make it to CT on that tank.
Not excusing his lying or fraud but this is an excellent way to get things done even in ethical contexts.
IPv6 was poorly designed, and will never be fully adopted because of this. Unfortunately, we seem to be stuck between IPv4 and IPv6 when really, what we need is a new solution, something better designed and easier to adopt.
Can you talk about why the price needs to be at the 20-30$ level and what infrastructure and engineering needs to be built / maintained / expanded on to run a search engine?

Having reviewed even just a few diffs with Synchronized since joining Facebook, it absolutely should not be part of the standard library (nor, I would argue, part of folly). I have found far too many cases where engineers have threading issues in their code because they're saving references to objects after .lock() has returned.

Writing thread-safe code isn't easy, and it isn't made easier by libraries that offer footguns like Synchronized. It's easier to get it right with compiler thread annotations than with Synchronized.
Most banks support Zelle (formerly ClearXChange), which uses ACH on the back-end but delivers funds essentially right away.

The problem is that (1) most consumers don't know this is a thing, and (2) as you said, the UX of sending money through Venmo is generally far better than having to log in to your institution's mobile banking app, get past MFA, and then find the option to send money to someone. Zelle also lacks the concept of requesting money (I think), and that feature is a big QOL advantage in my experience.
"The breaks occasionally fail, so we did away with them"
I guess for the most part I am not using any the clients - I just point my home router DNS, my Android operating system DNS, and any browsers that might bypass. I erroneously assumed those profiles could only be chosen if the client was being used but it looks like I may actually be able to create different profiles and then still just point the devices network settings to the correct IP. Too bad for "LinkedIP" they dont let you manually specify (it looks like you have to click the button while you are on a machine using the network you want to link)
It is shady, but it's interesting that it's "wire fraud" to me. The laws allow for shell companies, and I assume he was paying. And the thing he was skirting feels more like a TOS, contract rule, etc. It doesn't seem much different from things large companies do for tax purposes, etc. They can sentence up to 20 years per count for wire fraud.
I remember as a kid messing around with early desktop-computer photogrammetry software: the kind where you have to print-out some black+white marker circles and place them around some trinket you want to capture in 3D.

..it worked, but the output *.3ds files were low-resolution and the textures only looked good from one direction - and the material's lighting was way off.

So the concept is nothing new, but it's never as simple as taking even a bunch of photos, let alone 1 photo - there's so much information necessary for future renders that cannot be captured from photos alone.

Indeed, you are correct.

It is a Volvo S60, 2016 or 2015 I think. So this shouldn’t be a problem, yet, it is. Even if you’re pushing it with your own finger, it pops out less than half of the tank full. Pretty weird. Does this at every gas station I think.
Personally I find C++ more fun to use than Rust, even though I use Rust as part of my day job. I'd genuinely love to find a full-time C++ gig and spend the rest of my career focused on that single language. There are tons of flaws with the language, sure, but they're documented and known flaws. And best practices to get around them. This really appeals to me.
I quite like how fish does process substitution.

Hey, that’s pretty cool!

I have a question about your method - Are all messages broadcasted to the server? If only the ones with an OTP, are OTP messages for all apps broadcasted to those people?

In Auto-OTP, the OTP can be forwarded to different people app-wise. For example, you may choose who should receive the OTP for app1, who receives for app2 etc.
> But then it’s just back to trust based web2, you’re trusting internet archive.

Correct, because it's clear storing the content in web2 Internet Archive is superior ("you’d have to store the NFT data on chain, which is prohibitively expensive"). They will persist regardless of web3 shenanigans, and hash addressing ensures content integrity. You could even use a torrent to store and serve the content (again, which uses hashes to identify and preserve integrity of content).

Why would one trust a distributed ledger over a centralized archive run by folks whose primary focus is on preservation of the bits they're storing? The economic benefit of running storage nodes of encrypted content is unlikely to ever be sufficient to provide the same economic incentives a corporation or non profit realizes by offering the durability a centralized service provides (due to scale).

EDIT: @Ragnarork It seems like web3 is making some promises it can't keep?
I agree, one can’t easily tie an NFT to a physical object. Nothing guarantees that the watch and NFT change ownership in tandem.

All I’m saying is that a serial number doesn’t really prove anything because it’s trivial to copy. A private key inextricable from the object would be better, because it could generate timestamped signatures as proof.
If even 10% of america bought something like this the product is a wild success, and it would be enough pressure to ensure silos are unable to totally wall themselves off. I'm sure apple would love to drop support for SMS, but they can't, because some large percentage of Americans don't use apple devices, and so those that do wouldn't tolerate being unable to message their friends without apple devices.

I know people that aren't tech savvy at all that would buy a box they just plug in, boot up, that for example synced their contacts, pictures, ran a social media server just for them (mastodon maybe) and an email server and IM server and all they had to do was run an app on their phone and enter a password. You could build something like that and offer it to people for under 100 bucks. People don't run those though, because it's not as simple as that. Most people would rather have a product than a service. But the product is less profitable than the service, so companies build services, and so people use services.
It talks about the drawbacks of having a single Go struct serve as both the schema for the database and the schema for the API. It recommends (correctly) that developers should avoid this, and write two Go structs, one for the API and one for the database, and then manually write some glue code between the two

That's been the standard in just about every enterprise Java app I've worked on. Having separate internal and external data models is critical for managing change and preserving backwards-compatibility of your API.
Describing the right to influence legislation as a burden seems exceptionally strange to me.

Maybe that's because I've always lived in a direct democracy where it's commonplace to propose or challenge new laws, and while engaging in that process does require a few hours every now and then, I've always felt that's more than worth it.
A perfect blend of antiquity, weirdness, and art. Now we just need to train an AI on this and I can see myself evolve (devolve?) into any animal I desire.

The same is true in the US. ACH and wire transfers can be free (unless you're with a bank that offers "free checking" but comes laden with hidden charges). And we also have Zelle, which offers much faster transfers (it works within minutes) for free.
We aren't solving the affordable housing crisis in one fell swoop.

We are bending/slowing the insane growth in SFR prices and slowing/ending homeowner displacement.

As we scale we'll make a meaningful impact, but the solution to affordable housing is not just loosening artificial supply constraints, and is bigger than any one private (or public) organization.

Minister of the future intro about a heat bubble gave me nightmares.

It make me think about how we could prevent death in case of a massive humid heat wave, and how we could do it at a low enough cost, especially in a situation where the grid fail. My best guess will be some tent with high isolation fabric (think emergency blanket) cooled with a tank of liquid nitrogen.

This is obviously not comparable to white supremacists setting police departments and other businesses on fire.

On my S8 it doesn't resize the images and instead just complains it's too large for MMS, so it's pretty useless like that. I know, who uses MMS these days...
I don't know of a good design that won't lead you to make errors when you don't want the spaces. You'd need some piece of syntax which indicates whether you
want a space there or not. For instance, there could be a rule that a string
literal ending in non-whitespace cannot joined with a literal starting with non-whitespace:

"foo" "bar" // error
"foo " "bar" // OK
"foo" " bar" // OK
"foo" "" "bar" // OK: "" doesn't start with non-whitespace, since it's empty
"foo" " " "bar" // OK

The nice thing about this is that it's perfectly comatible with existing C.

All we have to do is to implement a compiler warning which detects when the rule is violated.

Users who implement it have to fix situations like "foo" "bar" into "foo" "" "bar".

Probably the rules should be smarter. Some kind of tokenization concept could be at play
so that gluing together two letters or digits is bad, or two punctuation tokens, but
letter/number and punctuation is okay.

"foo" "1" // error? OK?
"foo" "bar" // error
"foo" ".bar" // OK
"1." "2" ".3" // OK

"1." ".2" // error: punct-punct
There's an alternative version where the host opens a door at random. If it is a goat, they proceed the same as the normal version. But if it reveals the car, the host says, "Sorry, the car was behind door C. You lose."

And a third version where the host only asks you to switch if you initially picked the car, and otherwise always ends the game early.

The best part is that during the game you can't actually tell which rule set you are playing with!
Take a look at a globe. Where does east and west start and stop?

When you find yourself in a binary quandary, you are nearly always going to be arguing yourself into complete twaddle. Think: East:West, Black:White, North:South, Man:Woman, "Normal": ... . That way lies madness.

It is trivial to slide into exclusiveness. I try to be inclusive. Back in the day I was the fat child left on the sidelines when picking footie teams. Then I went to a different school that also offered rugby as well as football. That's an odd form of inclusivity but I found my place for a while: I had quite a lot of extra inertia and kinetic energy and discovered how to apply it quite efficiently.

Back to your comment, which I don't think needs down votes but questioning. Where do you perceive East and West colliding? Turkey?
>Please, use this line if you ever end up defending yourself in court! I will bring the popcorn.

At least now we understand you take joy in suffering of others.

>don't expect most civilized, equity-minded people to agree with you

You say that what they vote for represents them. If what represents them is bombing little Afghani kids or staging coup in central and south America (and by your statements, it does), I have no desire to be in agreement with such savages.

>Sorry, but you don't get to opt out of democracy because you don't like the tenet that binds everyone to the laws made by our representatives.

So your response is basically, fuck you do what I say and follow my political system, leave, or get gunned down by government agents if you resist inevitably being ordered to court. You sound like the selfish, others be damned one not I. Wow, how "fair" that sounds on a thread that was originally concerning fairness.

>and that we should all just look out for ourselves

This is a presumptuous and arrogant statement that ignores the charitable and personal contributions I've (and others) made to others without taxation. You think I haven't looked out for others with contributions performed outside of government? Not everyone is so selfish as you may be that they wouldn't help others if not forced at gunpoint.

>there are probably other countries that would welcome you.

Except I would still have to file US taxes and report bank accounts unless I renounce US citizenship, but that cost thousands and has to be done abroad. Even if you leave the US, you can't escape the coercion of US government nor US taxes (either at least filing, or paying the ~$2000 "exit tax" of renouncing). FATCA mean merely having US place of birth many worldwide banks are afraid to take me, US citizen or not.

If it’s only possible to run full nodes in datacenters, paying people to run them is fairly pointless.
Your mental model is wrong. Employers don't pay for time they pay for value.

If one developer automates a task previous done by 10 staff, they are more valuable than those 10 staff.

Could Tim Cook be more valuable that 1400 staff? Easily.

If you don't like it, become more valuable.
So the answer is centralized storage?
Hey!

The primary use case is for multiple people wanting to access an account that is behind 2FA.

Example of such folks are -
1) My dad wanting to access my bank account details without having to trouble me
2) Me wanting to login to my brother’s OTT accounts (hotstar, prime etc.)
3) CAs needing bank access for small business owners
Agreed. I’d go as far as to say they were irresponsible to not tell Stripe to delete/deauthorize the tokens.

In fact, why does any customer in their database have ANY connection to Stripe after they’ve canceled? I haven’t used stripe but I’m guessing there’s some sort of customer ID/token. If they’ve canceled why are you retaining that?

So that’s two things. Even if the code encountered a bug like they did here, it shouldn’t of been possible to actually trigger a new subscription.
A lot of people freelance, landlord or do other activities that are classified as "businesses." So it, actually does personally affect a lot of folks who aren't even full blown businesses.
> So you assert that moving Tim to another company would see that company grow as the same rate?

No, never said anything of the sort.

> Tim Cook is a caretaker CEO who didn't add that value himself.

The market cap begs to differ. He is far from the product visionary that Steve Jobs was but he is great at execution. There is a reason Jobs picked him as his successor.

The centralization of apis (infura, opensea and ethscan used by metamask) is the biggest problem. I could be wrong, but I don't think we've seen that fast consolidation in other early tech. I remember in the late 90s there were a number of search engines but no one really owned the space. Only 20 years later did Google emerge as the winner and is (IMO) by far the best in terms of relevant results. But that didn't happen overnight, and there wasn't a search engine dominating 90% of the market within a few years of the beginning of mainstream acceptance.

How hard is it to create a competitor to infura? MetaMask should be incentivized to do this as they're core offering is controlled by one party.

[edit] Never mind, metamask and infura are owned by the same company (ConsenSys). It's even worse than it appears...
Well, in this case I apologize because my assumptions were clearly incorrect. Sometimes I'm wrong (more often than I'd like, clearly).
Thank you for engaging and I'm sorry Sam.

I grew up in a real estate family and while I don't think we personally engage in nasty behavior, I'm all too familiar with the games and schemes people play to get ahead. The large sums of money frequently attract unsavory and selfish actors. It makes for a rather ugly business sometimes, instead of being able to focus on the goal of helping people find a good living situation.

Wish you all the best, we're all stuck on this rock (and more frequently on HN, around the Bay Area) together, whether we care to think about it or not - we're all more connected than we may realize.
*Macs, at the time. Apple did not even make iPods back then.

And it was not that insight. Lots of people knew that. But not a lot of people had the skill to "do something about that".
Wish something like this existed for starting intentional/ecovillage communal living places...i.e. paid for the land, and maybe using a portion for glamping/etc and then using that to fund supplies for container homes, and setting up vertical farms, rainwatch catch systems, solar panels, etc... Then maybe charge residents like a $200 HOA fee, or something that is used to better the community's shared things. We'd have a library-like facility with commercial kitchens, maker space, shared tools, recreational vehicles to borrow (and rent to glampers), etc... in tiny homes space is king, so if we all don't own every tool/power tool etc...and share more we can utilize less space which is also better for the environment and means less to build.

We can add recreational things too so we don't have to go far from home to have fun...like a climbing wall that converts to a drive-in movie screen.

If this could become repeatable...could factor in some sort of travel program too where all intentional communities could have glamp sections and give free or cheap access to traveling members of other communities..so if you go to disneyland you pay like $10/night for your whole family instead of $100. Or nomads could relocate and stay in semi-permanent housing for the same $200/month rent/hoa fee. (fee could be like a flat $100/person in household, or $200...the goal being make it so anybody can access these as an alternative to normal rents that are exorbitant).

TLDR: my idea is essentially being to make more resilient, community strong, vibrant and affordable housing developments in rural areas backed by income producing assets/resources (glamp camps), and rental fees (not free, but affordable enough for McDonald's wages).

Increasing homes/rentals also has the added value of raising supply, lowering demand and everyone's rent goes down...
