> Another point is that US healthcare is considered the most expensive and worst-performing in terms of outcomes compared to the other developed countries.

In what way is it the worst-performing? I mean, what are the outcomes that are measured to determine its performance?

Yes, healthcare is a lot cheaper in Europe (even if your employer wouldn't pay their part) compared to the US, but the quality of the service is rather poor with very long waiting lists, stubborn doctors who don't want to perform certain tests (as simple as a Vitamin D or a testosterone test) so they don't have to justify it to the insurance.
If I read the article correctly in v2 each file will contain its own root hash, which is calculated by using 16KB "pieces", the piece size for the torrent creation is still used for data transmission between peers and integrity checks.

Even in clean countries, electric companies aren't willing to invest in additional capacity due to Bitcoin use. It's too unpredictable. (As quoted in the article.)
> I see you also follow my rule: When buying a laptop, always buy top spec.

ive become a believer for both desktops and laptops.

the ratio of hardware performance to software performance requirements increases over time, but its linear and the slope is small. knowing that, you can buy cheap machines frequently or expensive machines infrequently and hit a similar $/time expenditure - but one way you get fast puterz and the other way you dont.

the details matter of course. $/performance hits a sharp breakpoint and turns exponential around the 80th percentile. for my money - and everyone i know uninterested in the bleeding edge - a couple notches below the best is an incomparable deal that also saves the time of frequent research/upgrades/purchasing.
But wouldn’t a single “good” provider quickly undermind the business of the existing ones? Or is the entire thing rigged in favour of the current healthcare providers?
The [US]CDC director just said over 75% of “covid deaths” occurred in people with at least four comorbidities. Since the US administration can’t shut down covid, suddenly all this data is getting shared publicly.

You have to say you need a meal and need help to see it. It isn't for you if making a meal doesn't feel overwhelming right now.
This field is growing so quickly the ratio of experienced to new devs is out of balance. It takes a critical mass of experienced devs on a team or in an org or the scenario you're in is the default.

And even that critical mass won't be enough if leadership implicitly or explicitly reward shiny visible progress and ignores structural work and integrity.

The experiences we've probably all seen of new buildings going up quickly and then looking like trash just a couple years later are great examples. The problem is that approach "works" during boom years because everyone can move on fast enough to make the problem someone else's.
In Holland they learned the hard way that you have to physically cordon off half of every road for bicycles.
But you have to remember that just putting some paint on the pavement is a lot cheaper so that's what the government tries first.

The reason why roads were taken back by Dutch cyclists and pedestrians is that they never stopped doing it. At some dark moment in the 1970s the number of children run over by cars was too much for society to ignore.
It was a battle won by blood.
Giving how well public transportation works in Milan and how expensive it is to own and park a car in the city center, I am surprised at how many people still insist on driving.

Personally I can't wait for reserved bike lanes everywhere. Milan is small in size if compared to other European main cities, you could probably bike across the city in half an hour

I was trying to get away from Google EVERYTHING,found DDG really stoked about it specially when it was my turn on the waiting list for the filtering of the emails. Then all of a sudden my emails weren't coming thru, an I noticed when I'd go to search a website the last site was still open or still sitting there ready for access. At first u thought it was me, but then i started seeing my history an open past sites.But what ended my DDG relationship was when I was asked if I wanted to stay with Chrome or open new tab with DDG? When I have Chrome an Google disabled. Looked into DDG like i have Google an they are NOT as PRIVATE as they say.So if privacy is what your after please do your homework and take a little deeper look at DDG.Maybe Tor,Bravo,Dark Onion. And just so you know out there it is possible to live your life "Google Free" they say you cant but you believe it you can.Good luck with what you choose to do.
Wow, that's a bummer, had no idea the people behind the hollowing out and filling with shit of µTorrent include the actual creator of the protocol itself.
Yep, a lot of people are unaware that this is covered by a separate, wildly different program. The coverages are outlined here:

https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp/cicp-vicp

CICP only covers severe physical injury or death, has a 1 year filing limit, only covers related reimbursement (not pain and suffering), and is eligibility is an administrative decision (not a judicial one).
it's a cult and HN is worse for people even talking about it. Also, ban twitter posts from HN!
Your explanation is nonsensical.

> If we continue the analogy with paper, then a NFT is a piece of paper with a unique identifier that cannot be copied. If you have that piece of paper you know that A) No one can have the same piece of paper without having that actual paper and B) no one can fool someone else they have that same paper (based on the ID).

This is where the entire argument falls apart trivially. The problem is that NFTs are just random pieces of paper containing a pointer. They're not guaranteed to be the only pointer, the content on them can be copied, they're not actually scarce resources, and everyone can (and does) fool everyone else about whether or not they have the same paper and/or the same pointer.

Additionally with NFTs, the pointer is often to some random centralized resource holder/single server in the 'centralized fiat' world of trust, and quite frequently that turns out to be a $5 VPS running apache that someone stops paying the bill for.
I think it's tricky really. The only way it can work well is if a council starts closing certain roads to motor traffic or to through-traffic but this does cause a knock-on effect that is not easily fixed. There are lots of people who can't realistically use public transport (at least not until it is better etc.) and so if they are completely screwed by traffic decisions then that isn't really fair.

However, what they are currently trying to do by keeping the level of motor traffic and simply slotting in lanes for cycles where there is space clearly doesn't work.

I think a few places like Bristol have been a bit more forceful but they are large enough to have alternate routes for motor traffic.
It's more complex and doesn't always go like that. If X' is a superior product objectively, then company B can find investors willing to back them and take on company A. Company A could itself be an investor in company B
The code you wrote a year ago should have good points and bad. If it is just bad, then you either started programming a year ago, or should perhaps start thinking about changing jobs.

If you are actually improving then there should be some good in there (you got better from two years ago right?). If you can't identify that good, then either you are just chasing fashion (that perfectly good construct from two years ago is now out of fashion so it is "bad"), or you haven't improved your ability to tell good code from bad and just calling it bad because you are unfamiliar with it.

If you want to actually get better at code then you should do a real review of the code you wrote a year ago. Where did bugs occur in the code you wrote? Is there something that you could have done to make it less error prone? Is there code you wrote that is easy to understand? What design choices can you make so that more code ends up in the good code camp? How were the bugs detected? Can I integrate that in to what I do for testing? Then actively practice moving your code in the good direction and away from the bad.

Anything less is chasing fashion and using familiarity as a good and unfamiliarity as bad. "As is" it is a pithy blog post for Coding Horror, but won't get you there. Pursuing greatness requires directed improvement
> The "Bitcoin energy problem" has always been a short term issue, as it exposes the problem of under-priced fossil fuel that do not yet capture externalities (fossil fuels are subsidized by governments, and most countries do not implement a carbon tax).

Bitcoin _fundamentally_ is difficult to mine because it consumes available resources at a rate that takes time. If it becomes easier to mine, they'll just make the problem harder. It will _always_ find some resource limitation that slows mining.

If energy is no longer an issue, then one can imagine physical hardware will become the next resource limitation. It just pushes the carbon problem from electric generation to manufacturing.

> This isn't as big of a problem in the long run because renewable energy from solar, wind, geothermal, are now the cheapest forms of energy, and will probably get even cheaper.

You assume. Soon we will hit against other issues though. Even if electricity generation costs nothing, you still need to implement infrastructure to move it around. In reality this means massive power stations, large cabling that travels long distances, etc.

This is not something that gets solved in the short term, it's one of the (many) problems that will slow down the push for EVs too.

> Combine this with improvements in batteries and other complimentary technologies (solar roofs) and the future of self sustaining, affordable renewable clean energy is very promising. It does not make sense to use fossil fuels for mining in this future when fossil fuel gets priced correctly.

Don't swallow Elon Musk's promises, batteries have not really changed all that much. It's difficult to improve on batteries much further than we already have - hydrogen stores may still be the way forwards (and we may regret abandoning them). Solar roofs are better than solar roads, but fixed-position solar panels that do not track the sun are inefficient compared to those that do.

Bare in mind also that most renewable energy is dependant on seasons and/or weather conditions. No sun, no solar power. No wind, no turbine power. No gas, no gas power. You only need to checkout the most recent global energy shortage to see this possibility is very real. (Germany will soon regret turning off their nuclear power stations.)

Fossil fuels if anything are currently massively overpriced (at retail value). Checkout how much tax your government currently put on them - it's hardly subsidized. Bare in mind also that the oil supply is artificially controlled, it's very heavily tied into politics.
What solution?

The DeFi space is a lot worse than the traditional economy by just about any measure right now: inequality, theft, fraud, instability, market manipulation, etc are all way worse.
Using NFTs offloads asset management to a generalized third party solution so you don't have to implement your own marketplace and trading, the decentralized claim being the main thing making it viable (otherwise you'd just be handing over the keys to your digital warehouse to some random entity). Whether that is desirable or the right fit for your application is another question, but the tech clearly has differences.
Two things you are missing is:

1. With NFTs games can take a cut of resales. With something like cs:go there was a substantial secondary resale market for things like skins, which valve wasn’t able to capture but with NFTs they could have taken say 10% of each resale.

2. Because the data is public it’s possible for other games to bootstrap off the data (we have seen this with “airdrops” in the crypto land). Meaning a game which is coming out can give some perk to people who own X in fortnite because they think their game is similar and want to entice people to try their game, especially people who they know like fortnite.

In the tech world we are always talking about how valuable data is. The blockchain makes that data public so secondary products can exist to serve needs the game doesn’t care about. And provides the ability for the original game to capture part of that market if they wish because they own the initial contract. But because the data is public, other games can also use that data how they want.
No offense but your comment reads like some who hasn't read wealth of nations but has read plenty of criticism of it.

Its a common straw man to treat capitalism as equivalent to greedy businesses screwing over everyone and everything in the name of profit.

That's not what it is. And I think you will find that everybody aside from said businessmen find that reprehensible.
I think people see it as a manager being kind and trying to involve their future employee in decisions that will impact them directly. (Assuming they are not expected to be actively leading the calls…)

I can envision a scenario where someone could complain for not being included in these conversations. Imagine you start a new job and the manager says “btw, we signed a contract with this vendor two weeks ago, so this is the tool you’ll use for the next three years. We thought about asking your input, but you technically weren’t an employee then.”
How is this ethical? What does the PhD student get from this?
How do you prove to the judge that you didn't sign the tx that transferred the NFT to the thief's wallet? (Assuming the thief makes that claim, which they'd be stupid not to.)
No thanks. This approach violates the spirit of FLOSS by encouraging developers to focus on popularity rather than quality in order to make bank.

It takes away the collective aspect and replaces it with extreme individualism. There's already a software model for that: closed source.

Also, you posted the same URL many times. Please do not spam HN.
> However I must be able to use colors for free if all I'm doing is getting it for a non commercial project of mine.

Nope. IMO it's safe (from the floss side) to assume companies won't be cheating.

Don't get me wrong. They will most definitely cheat. Maybe 95% of them will cheat. That should still make tangible revenues for FLOSS maintainers. (though IME most companies really do care about the licenses they use, and they don't mind paying, like I know actual companies who bought Qt licenses)

In my understanding, the goal from the article is not really to force companies to pay for FOSS, but rather to simplify it. You could say that putting everything under AGPL forces them to pay. That's technically true, but really, it's more of a way for people who want to pay FOSS inside the company to push to actually pay FOSS. Donations from a company to a someone isn't really a thing an engineer can push down to the finance department.

Don't get me wrong, with the same wording, there is a fine line between "companies are stealing from us, they need to give money back" and "we know companies would like to help us, but it's hard for them, so let's make it easier for them" which is very easy to cross. For the moment, FOSS financing has no plausible solution (nor incentives), assuming companies are lawful neutral. Even for lawful good companies it's pretty hard. So let's start by making systems to give those companies way to help FOSS, before thinking about potential cheaters.

In theory the regulators, as part of the government, serve the will of the people. But the state under capitalism serves no one but the massive corporations which these regulators are meant to govern. So we end up with fossil fuel guys running the EPA and Verizon lawyers running the FCC.

There is no one to regulate the regulators because the state in its entirety is isolated from accountability to the public.
Great post!

I am the main consumer of most of my legacy code, so I make sure to do the best job possible.

Environmental damage? My electricity is 99% hydro electric and we have a surplus of it.
Or it represents one real thing that has multiple purposes outside the code and so the code can't fix that.

There are cases where military aircraft pointed their lasers (likely invisible IR lasers) at photographers. It's unclear if this was intentional and what kind of laser (e.g. rangefinder or designator) it was, but the laser likely wasn't meant as a weapons system but still fried the camera, with visible scorch marks.

I can't imagine eyes faring much better than the sensor if hit.
I haven't actually read the legal documents of NFT creation sites in detail, but given the general trend of digital content contracts, it is very likely that (even were the NFT itself not a copyright violation in the first place, as sibling comment describes) you are not the legal owner of the copyright in that NFT anyways. What you would instead own is no more rights to that NFT than, say, HN has to the copyrighted content I am writing in this textbox, which is something along the lines of:

> a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty free, fully paid up, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to copy, display, upload, perform, distribute, store, modify and otherwise use your User Content for any Y Combinator-related purpose in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed

Lay low and pray no one escalates the matter into a frivolous lawsuit, although the incoming driver is clearly at fault. Continue waving people in when slow traffic conditions warrant, as this is a very normal and nice thing to do.

For some reason you only decided to include VISA, while I meant the whole traditional finance system, including central and other banks. VISA can't operate by itself.

> This guy abused Github to distribute malicious code to thousands of projects.

1. AFAIK he didn't abuse Github. He used the typical method of uploading code, into his own repo.

2. He didn't distribute the code, that was npm.

3. The code being malicious is your interpretation. Can code not contain political or nonsensical messages? I think people should be free to share code with political messages, or with nonsense if they want.
well its not neccesairly a pod per person but more a pod the city owns that is shared when i need it.

That's like saying that the rules of chess describe instead of prescribing. Perhaps it doesn't say anywhere that you should play chess. But neither does it suggest that the rules of chess "describe human play better than the rules of any other game."

Capitalism describes a system where ownership over all capital is marketized. A society can adhere to that system or not. Under Feudalism, for example, land ownership is instead attached to hereditary titles. You can argue that Capitalism is the best economic system for a society, but it is hardly the only one. In fact, compared to the millenia for which Feudalism lasted, Capitalism is very, very recent.
Nobody sane and financially literate runs electric resistance heaters if they need heating with any regularity. Heatpumps are 3-4x more efficient for heating.

Nobody sane runs electric heaters which heat the great outdoors either.
Capitalism without fair competition is not capitalism. There needs to be rules and regulation to have a level field. Huge barriers to entry, monopoly, oligarchy and so on all pervert capitalism. Currently, it's far far away from a good place.
Two things can be bad.
You have `PubkeyAuthentication` and `PasswordAuthentication` both set to `yes`, which is confusing to me. I thought you were saying they were disabled.

When I connect without a `-i` parameter the SSH client attempts to authenticate with all my keys, succeeding with none, then succeeds with authentication type `none`. When I specify -i `/dev/null` the logs are confusing as to what's happening:

$ ssh -i /dev/null -v serveradmin@50.116.13.30 2>&1 | egrep -ie 'auth|attempt'
debug1: Authenticating to 50.116.13.30:22 as 'serveradmin'
debug1: Will attempt key: /dev/null explicit
debug1: Authentication succeeded (none).
Authenticated to 50.116.13.30 ([50.116.13.30]:22).

I guess what you actually did was not disable authentication methods, but enable empty passwords, and set the account to an empty password -- and SSH does not even ask for the empty password in this case or even call it the same name as password auth in the logs. I guess!?
