Fascinating. I bought an assignat as a gift, a relic of belief in fiat from 1789. I did wonder which successor French state would honour it. (Obv. None)

You notice how much more than face value they have in some circumstances. After 1919 if circulating not valuable but even 1969 mint or uncirculated is worth significantly more than face value.
With all of the deadly important issues in the US and the world today these folks have locked their compass on "the legalization of sharing movies, music and other art online"? Is this not satire? Perhaps these "pirates" should watch some illegally downloaded copies of "Don't Look Up." And their wisdom should be so plain to see that we trust them to come up with good decisions later for small details like the world outside of file sharing? "Aye, matey! I'll have me platforme on global warmin' just after I finishe a-pirate-watchin' this last season of 'ye Witcher!' and several other crucial arts, perhaps a-playin' some cracked games in which I'll learn about what's called the economies."

I'm not trying to deny that intellectual property issues can be important, even extremely so. It's argued that Germany's rise was related to a lack of copyright[1], and we can think of patents on medicine and many other areas where copyright is crucial, even foundational. But please...

That hasn't answered my question though. Name one advantage of using a blockchain for insurance policy management over the systems that we have now.
I think the non sequitur argument you're making is that somehow humans are not to blame because natural cycles have caused greater extinction? The latter implies nothing about the former, it's an invalid argument.
How many people would make the same comment if she would be a he? That it's normal for some people, doesn't make it less sexist. Many, especially women, see it as a harmful and a lack of respect that women are casually reduced to their appearance like that, with the effect of shifting the attention from their real success.

I deleted my twitter account a couple of years ago but started to read a couple of people on there during the us election and the pandemic. These last couple of months twitter has clearly decided to try to clamp down on people reading without an account (the way instagram did with their website a few years earlier). They have tried a couple of things.

First there was a popup blocking the screen and scrolling telling you to log in or sign up if you clicked on any post, image or other user. At first you couldn't dismiss it. Then they changed so you could dismiss it but it would move you back to the point where you clicked (essentially as a back button). You could get around it by reloading the page instead of dismissing the popup, then you got to the page you wanted. Now they're testing activating the popup after you scroll through the feed a bit with no option to dismiss.

I imagine everyone posting to twitter have no idea this behaviour have been introduced and that twitter is trying to wall their garden. This is especially depressing since there are a number of pandemic related posters (Kai Kupferschmidt among them) who have interesting feeds, but no other communication channels that I know of.
I can confirm that our induction stove is very fast, much faster at boiling water than the (domestic) gas stoves I've had experience with.
A pot of water really does boil in under two minutes, so I wanted to question your math, but it seems correct :-). The problem here is the quantity, why are you (gp) boiling 7 liters of water?

edit: the boost is more powerful (3.7kW for the largest zone), but still. That's time limited (10 minutes or less), and limits the current to the other zone on the same phase.

I love cooking on gas. As you mentioned the convenience is unmatched and it is a pleasure compared to cooking using induction or hot plate. Induction certainly seemed more efficient with how fast it used to boil water, but when cooking food, gas always wins for me. Not to mention, lot of pans I have will not work on induction or hotplate.

You can only complain up to a point. Twitter cannot stand in for your own judgment about who to follow. If you blindly follow the recommendations of a free engagement machine you will get what you paid for. Twitter is big enough that there is a huge variety on there, and almost always the solution is to follow better people. You cannot do that overnight. I have a great experience on Twitter, because I follow some really excellent people. It took 5-10 years to get there, and it should, because you can't speedrun the process of figuring out who you want to listen to and what you care about.

That’s what I see a framework as being - sane defaults. It’s a way to get started quickly without having to write everything from scratch.

I would argue that “frameworks” like Bootstrap, Tailwinds and their ilk are more ecosystems than frameworks, but that’s just me. :)
I disagree. Concurrency (including parallelism) only defines a partial order on events, not a total/global order. This leads to one of the following:

- We assume there's a total order anyway. This lets us use Gallilean relativity, but is an incorrect model, which manifests as race conditions.

- We impose a total order, by introducing causality between every event (e.g. synchronisation, or data dependencies like counters, etc.). This lets us use Gallilean relativity and maintain correctness, but it is no longer concurrent/parallel.

- We only assume a partial order. This avoids race conditions, but allows races between independent results (which can therefore be calculated in parallel). This is inherently relativistic, since independent events can occur in a different order for different observers (in the case of this article, the observers are CPU cores).

Maybe arguments of IE insanity were once vaguely qualified because it took an extra step of testing and learning, a straw that breaks a camels back. IE is dead now, years past sunset and about to be eliminated in June 2022, so these arguments no longer apply. The fear and insanity remain nonetheless.

Recommendation algorithms really need to come with extensive UIs for tweaking, tuning and cleanup (less like this, more like this, don't include this, you're seeing this because of... etc...), maybe completely new 'exploration UIs' to actively find new stuff at the edge and beyond my own bubble.

For instance, having to open random YouTube links in private browsing mode just to prevent that the home page is forever "poisoned" with this specific type of crap is kinda bizarre.

IMHO recommendation algorithms could be really useful if they allowed the user to play a more active role. Give us a "power user UI".

I've had two induction stoves over the last two years, one newer and one a little older. I came from a lifetime of cooking with gas.

First complaint - exactly the same as yours. Even a little boil over can sometimes just shut everything off.

Second complaint - "smart" pan sensing. I have a few pots that don't really fit the rings on the stove perfectly, and they have been relegated to the "useless" corner of the cabinet. The temp setting starts to either flash whenever the pot isn't big enough to cover the ring, or just takes forever to heat up.

Last complaint - some of my pans are not perfectly flat on the bottom, from either a rough life or warping in the oven, etc. Those pans are also useless on the induction hob.

Please can you tell us which one you bought ? I’ve scoured the market in the UK for a decent beknobbed induction stove and come up with nothing !
I agree with you here. I like that they are looking beyond left and right. But it should be clear where. It could be center, center-left or center-right.

But I do understand why though. The people weren't even ready for Bernie Sanders this election. I found him as the better candidate among the lot, with a better plan. So adding the "centre" or "centre-left" party maybe way too much.

But I think the file-sharing/pirate party movement is a lil way too late. At the peak of Pirate Bay, they really were revolutionaries giving chances to new artists and new ideas through their front page campaigns and what not. But we have bigger problems like climate-change right now. File sharing would be not in my priority list in the current political environment.

Another pontificating article without knowing what causes people's lives to become messed up. Surely they of all people will know that those around someone can mess up someone's life. Surely the COVID lock downs is proof of this!
The BJP, India’s ruling party whose leader is Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has an active paid “IT cell” and a coordinated army of trolls. The party also has enthusiastic civilian supporters whom opponents call “Bhakts” or devotees of Modi. These people regularly mobilize to discover and shut down critical commentary anywhere on the Internet.

The commenter is saying that HN is often subjected to these devotees’ campaigns. He is probably right, in my opinion. I am Indian and most of my friends and family are devotees. They often coordinate their outrage on WhatsApp groups. Someone will post links to critical articles and the others will jump on them.
I believe the promise of having an insurance contract publicly verified by a decentralised system is to reduce the inherent costs of the current regulated system.

In my country,and I assume in most it's the same, in order for you to sign a buy contract for a house, there has to be a notary involved. The whole process costs a significant percentage of your already heavy purchase.

A blockchain won't solve all the problems here, but it may cut a few middlemen. And it doesn't have to be on ethereum or bitcoin. The Estonian (or is it the Finnish?) Government already uses a blockchain for their digital id system.
Then your code is too tightly coupled to an instance without you writing error handling or any kind of fallback. That kind of fragility is not limited to the DOM and can occur in any programming.
Yeah, it's also my take that one should be careful correlating ups and downs to things eaten -- it might as well be stress or just bad luck.

That said, if I can get some placebo effect benefits from believing that reducing processed food helps, it might be worth doing -- if nothing else it reduces cancer risks :)

Also, things are more recyclable there. Just have a returns program for dead batteries and people will probably do it.

Thanks, that was a perfect example of whataboutism. Why do you assume that IPR law is not an "important issue"? It's certainly important wrt. economic development, as you point out that Germany has benefited in the past from having looser IP restrictions. And a stronger economy helps us deal with all kinds of other issues, including climate change.

Not only is modeling ridiculous in the context of human action, the model itself is loaded. It only allows individuals to receive payments which are a fraction of their existing balance. Therefore, under this model individuals wouldn't be able to receive a paycheck greater than their bank balance. So much for the rhetoric of living "paycheck to paycheck".

>1. All people (or, in model-speak, “agents”) start with equal wealth.
2. For each transaction, choose two agents at random.
3. Calculate a percentage of the poorer agent’s wealth. This percentage will be the amount exchanged. (If they have the same wealth, it doesn’t matter which you choose. This will be the amount exchanged.)
4. Randomly choose which of the two agents will receive the exchanged wealth and which will lose it.

While inequality is a symptom of a dysfunctional financial system, equality isn't a good unto itself. Systems which institutionalize inequality through cronyism are the problem. Not surprisingly, these half-baked economic models are used to double down on interventionism, resulting in further cronyism.
You're missing the forest for the trees. Bitcoin is broken and will never be more than a speculative asset with no intrinsic value. Blockchains can solve problems. Decentralisation can quickly become federation. Example: a global id system where the "miners" are countries. It removes the need of physical passports and their associated costs and delays.

Well, 50% of programmers are at most mediocre—or worse. And only maybe 1% of programmers is able to write significantly better code than all others.

So in result, just by the means of statistics, all code is necessarily crap. (Besides the extremely seldom pearls written by some independent geniuses).

Frankly this is unavoidable on an industrial scale of production, I guess. At least as long as we can't clone "10 x programmers".
Because you're taking a loan against it, duh. Therefore you want to keep it. Just like taking a line of credit against your house. You don't sell your house immediately.
Not having to speak to anyone to do it. I don't know if blockchain is going to go anywhere but I think there's inherent advantages in not talking to anyone (and being able to do it programatically) to do banking-like things. What you get in exchange is lack of security, no recourse when things go wrong, and possibly being in the same space as criminals. But there's a palpable advantage to not having to interact with any humans in order to do things that historically require a lot of meat space interactions that now can be automated by anyone in their home.

It's like having access to a completely deregulated bank ran by the mafia that has an API anyone can use. I think there's use cases for that, though maybe not the ones the community usually mentions.
every Fisher writing is gold
FWIW, I think a notary signature in the US costs like $4. If verification is the only problem that blockchain solves, it's not a very cost-effective solution.

I was struggling to find why does
a = [1, 2, 3]
a = b
b = b + [1]
return a different value as compared to
b += [1]

Looking into the source code, everything became clear. The + operator returns a pointer to a new list np containing all the elements from a and b, while += merely appends and returns a pointer to the original list

- They fail to work with non-standard sized pans.

- You can't use a wok on them.

- In fact, you can't use them with lots of other things, or in many ways I use my gas stove. Yes, these are "off-label" uses, sometimes not even related to cooking. So? Tools should be flexible, not fight back.
We're using mssql, on bootstrap we're running all migrations, seeding database, then backing it up; each test file restores its own database from backup which is much faster than alternatives; e2e tests run against simulated environment that has single database; e2e are split into concurrent runs with distinct set of tests to speed things up.
Ok, I will bite :) The gateway rewards are becoming less and less every month because more gateways join the network. So in a certain way that feels like a pyramid scheme because the people that joined earlier have an advantage (they also took the most risk by backing this project in a early state). It is quite normal to reward the first movers to your platform (PayPal even gave away free money to grow their user base)

There is a twitter account that publishes the DC burn rate hourly/daily/weekly: https://twitter.com/HNT_DC_Burn. Last week they burned $1,064,348 in data fees so the revenue is way higher than the 3 million per year you described, but you make a fair point for the gateway activation fee and not sure how much of the DC burned is because of this. But focusing on growth by giving out rewards for early hotspots is not a weird tactic and the question is indeed if the pricing make sense for the long run. Nowadays most priced stocks or other assets don't make any sense to me as well, so I would have agreed with you 10 years ago, nowadays I'm not so sure. They are also expanding to the decentralized 5G market and the packets send will be way more than the LoRaWan network, so I think that is priced in the helium price as well at the moment.

Your last statement I don't really understand. If you participate in a network by investing/running the hotspot you would want a compensation and nowadays a gateway would earn less than 600 dollars a year because of the increased hotspot amount. There will be an equilibrium that the market decides otherwise people would shutdown their hotspots.

I think the problem for a lot of people is that on Twitter you're not subscribing to information/topic streams but to personalities.

I follow almost only information security accounts but I'm still subjected to authors' extreme politics, conspiracy theories, and rants touting their personal morality clogging up my feeds.

I think that it's Twitter as a medium that is a flawed method of communication. Also it doesn't help that the only method of self-categorization (hashtags) penalizes the author by further reducing the limited character count.
