The value of a currency comes from it being backed by a government, and that government accepting taxes in that currency.

This puts a hard limit on the number of currencies, and how much they'll dillute the dollar (or any other country's currency). Since you'll normally only see a single currency per government.

Cryptocurrencies on the other hand, aren't tied to any country.

There's no hard limit on the amount of them. So every time a new one shows up, they'll they'll take a piece of the cake from the already existing ones, since the space is limited by the number of people willing to invest in them and how much these people have to invest.

Yeah, its the same with a trackpoint or trackpad. It isn't meant to replace a mouse or keyboard. Its meant to compliment it. A gamepad ('controller'?) has the same issue. Even a trackball. There are going to be use cases where one or the other is going to be better, and there's a very good reason the mouse is the default pointer device (although I heard a vertical mouse is good to avoid RSI, and I heard the same about trackballs).

I'm very happy with the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 on my Macbook Pro. I used to be very happy with a nub on my ThinkPad (trackpoint), but the trackpad on it was terrible compared to the Apple one. Right now, on my gaming desktop I use a wireless Logitech Hero mouse and a wireless headset (Logitech G933) and I'm well aware they deliver worse latency than wired (I do use a wired keyboard, by Wooting). To me, that's OK.

I'm also an outlier when it comes to touchscreen keyboards. I'm slow with it compared to youngsters. So I bought a 10 EUR 'air mouse' (I don't even use the mouse part right now) which has a physical keyboard. Its also very light. Not the best quality though, and not standard qwerty (but almost). I use it for my Nvidia Shield because I hate the manual typing on it.

With regards to this tool, I wonder if it would be useful to have region keybinds together with a trackpoint or the thingy on a GPD Pocket 2.
How does denying someone my cooperation injure them?

Kind of impressed by how civil the discourse has been, both moxie's original post and this response.

SMS messages were green for years before they introduced iMessage, so I doubt they chose that colour to be intentionally annoying or abusive.
> The reason Kepler ran out of fuel when it did was that it was expending more maneuvering fuel for attitude control because two of its four reaction wheels failed. Hubble and the ISS also had similar failures.

And to calm down anyone afraid of JWST sharing the same fate - construction of reaction wheels have been changed some time ago to make them significantly more reliable. The source of issues on Hubble, Kepler, FUSE, Hayabusa, Dawn and TIMED was electrical arcing between metal parts of reaction wheels. Static charge was building up like when you rub a ballon against your head. That charge caused arcing that in turn caused metal pitting and increased friction leading to failures. That failure mode was understood only in late 2007, when Kepler was already fully build and ready for launch.

JWSt uses new generation ceramic bearing in its reaction wheels, they have been used in spacecrafts since 2010 with great performance.
What this little pretentious kid doesn’t get is that public school has always been like this and the majority of kids wing it through K-12 (many even wing it through a bullshit degree in college). There has never been serious learning going on, and kids love any and all disruptions to class.

Bomb threats is one that kids in my school used to call in as pranks daily when I was in school. For weeks everyone missed the first 3 periods of the day. Everyone loved the disruption. I can absolutely promise you nothing is bringing more joy to the kids than this COVID fiasco.

Now, is education really being missed here? Not really. The kids that were going to excel anyways have somewhat involved parents that will expect them to prep and score respectable grades in standard tests/classes (your ap classes, SATs). Those kids already know they have to study more than whatever bullshit goes on in school. The parents/kids relying on the school system to help them achieve were never going to achieve just due to that reliance (it’s always been the case in public school).

So what is this stupid post about? It sounds like business as usual to me.
It's ends up breaking group messaging and Android people are left out due to the Hassel of having an Android in the group chat.
They did. Well, sorta. Google adopted RCS[0] for Android (and even added end-to-end encryption to it), and despite mostly only being pushed by Google, is an open-access protocol that any carrier (or company) could implement themselves.

That is if you're using a single host network. If your simulations go beyond a single VM it can be useful.

In general when performing malware analysis you want a logging DNS cache to keep track of any lookup the software makes.
You're right that a one-off forging is so expensive that a hogout will be used instead. My point was how expensive one-offs can be compared to multiple ones, and I used extreme examples as illustrative.

Even in custom machine work, the cost is in the setup. A machinist can make two identical cuts on two parts for not much more cost than one cut on one part.
I agree that iMessage is a huge benefit to Apple because it keeps people locked into the ecosystem more than because of technical merit. I disagree that it is monopolistic, because they don't have a monopoly!

Think about airline mileage programs and status. They keep people locked into the airline's ecosystem. But no single airline has a majority market share, and labeling a dozen active competitors in a market "monopolistic" would make no sense.
The green bubble implies that iPhones are a symbol of wealth (of the middle class variety, not significant wealth) and therefore status. That's basically everything to most teens.
EVM based chains, like Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain require a token to meter usage of smart contract calls.This is called 'gas'. Complex calls require more gas. The gas price (acting as a price auction on transaction priority) is denominated in the token of the chain.

'gas coin' in the scope of Binance Smart Chain would be BNB.
The evidence is always nice and comfortable as long as YOU aren't the one being affected by it. I contracted COVID from my kid, who got it from another kid in her class who went to school for 3 days after a positive test because that kid wasn't showing symptoms and their parents had nobody to watch them.
I noticed the short section on changes to Bevy's UI. I expect both GPU rendering and ECS will be important capabilities to consider for new GUI systems, and Bevy does both well. How do you imagine Bevy fitting into the budding Rust GUI story a la https://areweguiyet.com ? An entrant itself? The backend for one? Would you consider pure GUI applications an important use-case for Bevy now, or perhaps some time in the future?
> What about the ~25% of US adults that are not vaccinated? Are you in the "they've had enough time to get vaccinated, so if they haven't done so yet let them get COVID" camp?

How is this even a question? Of course they've had enough time, and they've made their choice to face COVID with their natural immune system. I'm talking here about people who still purposely refuse the vaccine, and I'm not talking about people who are unable to get it for medical reason.

As a society, we are not obligated to take measures to prevent COVID from reaching people who refuse the main act that will truly protect themselves.
I mostly agree. I think it is certain that vaccinations slow the spread somewhat; probable that they're stopping medical services from becoming overwhelmed; and almost certain that they will not eliminate covid from circulating.

You'll probably catch covid, whether vaccinated or not. Your elderly relatives will probably catch covid, whether you and they are vaccinated or not.

They'll probably catch it even if everyone on the planet become vaccinated tomorrow.

Vaccination is simply one tool to moderate the effect. It's wonderful that we have them, but having 20% of the population stay unvaccinated is not going to drastically affect the spread of the disease.
It's the unit you use to pay for operations on the Ethereum blockchain, distinct from the eth token, to which it is related by a variable price based on supply/demand.
Its less valid because the state of the network has changed to make the argument irrelevant sometime over the last half decade
Of course you can.

If you made a game, an app, or any software, and have a good portfolio that demonstrates your ability, a college degree becomes less meaningful.

Anyone and their dog can get into college nowadays anyways as well, so the quality of that piece of paper is not what it used to be.

Just do it.
> Is NortonLifelock whatever charging a fee? Or does this refer to gas?

It seems that NortonLifeLock takes about 15% of whatever gets mined. In addition to that, you'd probably have to use and external service to sell your ETH (an other article I saw mentioned Coinbase as the only place where you can move your ETH from Norton) which Will charge its own fees and then there is the gas fee.
its not an argument against bitcoin at all.

go walk into a starbucks with a gold bar. it certainly has value. they certainly want to give you coffee for value. it's just not the write medium. bitcoin is gold bars. not ready for retail but certainly ready for a hold of value. nothing wrong with that.
How rude you are.

When it comes to automatic introspection (ie noticing when you're thinking/feeling something, processing that, and making a CONSCIOUS decision in response), I am not aware of a better solution than meditation. It literally trains your mind that the constant stream of information passing through your brain (thoughts and cravings included) can actually be "watched" and responded to.

If you don't have a sufficient level of awareness, it'll be really hard to catch yourself thinking "man, I don't want to do X, I'm just gonna lay on the couch." You'll just go lay on the couch and your brain will continue on to something else.

To break these kinds of patterns, you essentially need a "supervisor" process running in your brain that can catch and evaluate thoughts, especially negative or harmful ones. Then if you catch yourself thinking "I don't want to do X right now," you can proceed to thinking about that feeling rather than laying on the couch.

Takes about a month or two of daily meditation before this sort of thing really starts becoming effortless.

I miss my meditation routine...
> The key one is that it’s very difficult to convince an iMessage group to use a different app.

As someone who managed to convince half the WhatsApp group to migrate to signal where we held out for a couple of months, ended up cross posting so the ones who were left behind didn't miss out and eventually abandoned signal and went back to WhatsApp I can tell you this has very little to do with Apple.
Honestly that doesn't sound like much money. Especially since these projects aren't solely funded by one country, even if one foots most of the bill. Also, $1bn over it's lifetime is really cheap even just for the US alone.
And if we continue burning fossil fuels it might never be cold enough for snowstorms any more, problem solved! /S

Who the fuck is this guy writing that stupid ass article... How about you solve the problem of terrible American driving, and lack of winter tyre regulations. Hah, he takes Norway as an example, the country where you have to learn ice driving conditions to get your license..
My entire household uses Apple products. A few years ago I got fed up and went all in on Linux and Android. I liked a lot of things about it but ultimately came back to Apple. When I switched back to an iPhone my wife told me "I'm so glad you're back on iMessage..." like she'd been holding this dark secret inside her the entire time I was out of the fold.

It's baffling honestly as messaging was the least of my problems. Sucky apps, weird driver issues, and just general friction with simple things like printing were what finally got me.

> In very basic, the computers you and the receiver own do the processing work for you. Think of it like you're the one mining your own transaction. Instead of fees there's tiny few seconds worth of extra power being used by your CPU

The real amount of work needed to process transactions is extremely minimal. Bitcoin and other proof-of-work coins adds unneeded work that is taxing to systems and therefore, the environment.
I don’t know about teens, but something that annoys me as an adult about non-iPhone users is that I can’t be sure that they’re seeing what I’m seeing when I send them a photo.

If I take a photo of a sunset in my iPhone and send it to another iPhone user, I can be assured that:

- The colours will be correct

- The high dynamic range will be preserved

- Live photos will work.

Etc…

With Android users, all bets are off. The colours will be shifted or wrong. HDR will generally not work.

(The same thing applies to Microsoft Windows users. If I email them something, chances are that it’ll be mangled in some way.)

Google, like Microsoft, just doesn’t care about quality or interoperability, and consumers like me notice.
Yeah they downsized a number of years ago but your comment is inline with their overall situation. :)

I got fairly lucky and got my start with a townhouse around 2000 just as everything really started to run up. A friend of mine bought his house on a third acre for 210k about four years before me

Pretty tough situation for young adults today with such high prices.
So the point of the article is, because (maladjusted?) actual laws are against it, don't try anything? I understand the worries, but I personally can't wait for a way to easily and quickly give money to someone which doesn't involve Visa or MasterCard. In a moving world where new things are created daily, I don't like the monopoly those two have for years.
So you paid 12k for a feature that was delivered to you 3 years after getting your car?

USD is backed by nothing. Nothing.

There are no limits to currencies. No limits to how much money governments will print. No limits to how much the banks will inflate the money supply through loans.
It has solar panels, so it can't be in shadow. IIUC the advantage of earth-sun L2 is it's away from the light and shadow of the earth and moon, while being reachable by radio year round.
The transition period of any new tech is usually horrid.

But now that things aren't buggy, being unable to modify them in place is a good thing. It sets a clear boundary that this is not how you do things on a modern system, so you can always expect systemd to be the same, consistent, non customized thing it always is.
I try to avoid Chrome.. what roadblocks?
The comment I was replying to was about technical problems, like high gas fees.

You can use fiat for speculation and black markets.

It would be weird to define "crypto works" as "people have to use it for shopping". It would be nice to be able to use it with more shops, but that is another matter. I know people who keep their savings in crypto and pay with credit cards that are backed by crypto.

Whether you "need" for example becomes an ideological question. If you agree with governments monetary politics, I guess you don't need it.
The first thing that I do when I setup a new server is rip systemd out completely and replace it with regular sysv init scripts.

The model generated this as a question that the MIT undergrad Number Theory course could ask of its human students - helping develop the course is part of their goal. It's a laughably easy question at first glance, though.
All RAM should be ECC. This intel ECC paywall is terrible. I have no actual need for ECC. My business is in cloud and personal doesn't really benefit too much from it.
Your link doesn't lead to any data, I'm assuming you meant to link to something like this instead: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page#daily Of course that says 44 deaths in the latest 7 day rolling average, not 38, and it loudly warns "Data from the most recent days are incomplete.", so presumably you meant to link to some other page...

Your interpretation of the data is also just flat out wrong. You can't divide cases from today by deaths from today and get a case mortality rate, because deaths lag cases very significantly (2-8 weeks was a number studies were showing early on, not sure if there's a more accurate one since). A month prior to the latest day with a deaths number (01/04) the 7 day rolling average of cases in NYC was 2404 (data from my link above). That's also an inappropriate number to use, given that the recent giant spike in cases means that a disproportionate number of deaths will be from relatively recent cases, but it serves to demonstrate the point about your derivation being completely inappropriate.

A 0.1% mortality rate is also really bad if you're talking about students, but we're not, the data your citing is for the entire population... for the entire population it's just bad.
These large corporate lease agreements aren't done through the dealer network in the UK - they are done through a lease company which liaises directly with the car manufacturers.
It's unfortunately that the "with" vs "of" question has been politicized and corrupted.

The standard line on the far-right is that the millions of COVID deaths were actually attributed to the co-morbidities. They pretend that people died of obesity and not COVID, because COVID hits the obese worse.
OK, no, I measured level 3 BLAS, and it sounded like a blanket dismissal of OpenBLAS. I'm surprised at it falling apart at all, but I haven't considered its LAPACK much and I value understanding from measurement. The set of R LA benchmarks I ran on sandybridge in response to theories about the Microsoft R distribution did include Cholesky. (I think the operations are a thin wrapper over LAPACK ones.) In that case OB was actually better than MKL for Cholesky with the versions I had then, so I'm puzzled. Probably I should revisit that sometime.

OB seems to me a better general default than BLIS, though its threading implementation may not be robust. BLIS is even broken on POWER9, and I don't remember whether the dynamic micro-architecture selection ever added for other than x86.

For really small matrices on x86, I'd front BLAS with libxsmm, but I don't remember where it starts winning, or know the threshold for BLIS' non-packed kernels.

Anyway, thanks for the info. I should be embarrassed never to have made time to look seriously at Julia.
I have the almost exact same story as parent.

Some people cannot get vaccinated.

A friend of mine can't because she's immunocompromised. Their family has done their part by staying home and finding new activities for their kids to accomplish in the house (which, fortunately for them, is pretty easy because they're huge nerds and aren't hurting for money). They're lucky because her husband is a self-employed remote contractor and she is a remote special education teacher.
That doesn't sound right...

> Carl Sagan played a leading role in the American space program since its inception. He was a consultant and adviser to NASA beginning in the 1950s, he briefed the Apollo astronauts before their flights to the Moon, and was an experimenter on the Mariner, Viking, Voyager, and Galileo expeditions to the planets. He helped solve the mysteries of the high temperature of Venus (a massive greenhouse effect), the seasonal changes on Mars (windblown dust) and the reddish haze of Titan (complex organic molecules).

> For his work, Dr. Sagan received the NASA Medals for Exceptional Scientific Achievement and for Distinguished Public Service twice, as well as the NASA Apollo Achievement Award.

Tesla owner says he mines up to $800 a month in cryptocurrency with his car
this is so silly obviously... we need similar website when you assume it really know so it asks you 50 questions including whether you smoke, etc, etc and at the end it shows you this: "nobody knows when you die, but assume you may be dead tomorrow morning. So do you: [checklist] - have a last will? - made sure you told your family how much you love them? - made sure your life insurance is up to date? - made sure you give banking credentials to your spouse or parent so that they don't have to wait months before government and courts do their job. etc etc"

That would be somewhat more useful....

On HN it's generally best to post about a startup once it has actually launched. You guys should definitely come back and do that then!

See https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22336638 for some tips on how to do this.

If you want to see the guidelines we give to YC startups for launching, they're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/yli.html. The logistical parts don't apply to non-YC startups, but the communication parts all do, and they will help you write in a way that HN is more likely to receive positively.
Delivery confirmation has got to be #1, right? There's no feedback from SMS. Messages get lost or sent multiple times as dups. All without having to install an app or use a Meta or Google property.

Edit: Creepy read receipts can be turned off too (I think they're even disabled by default?) Delivery confirmation is one thing but almost nobody likes forced read receipts—they makes text messaging icky like a phone call, because once you pick up you either respond immediately or the other party knows you "left them on read."
