I would argue yes, that atoi is defective. Stripping characters is equally defective.

A QA walks into a bar and orders "123hello456" beers. The correct answer is not for the barkeep to give them 123 beers, its to ask "I beg your pardon?" So the truncation in general is the problem. If the operation fails - too many bytes, wrong encoding, string too long - the operation should fail. It's not the db's job, that is the business logic's job.
Having dealt with complaining users (of FOSS) for a much smaller project than yours who want free fixes by <date> and angry comments about <not including this feature that was asked for "ages ago"> I can definitely see why you are going the route you are going, best of luck now and in the future! :)
A top of the line M18 fuel impact (a $300 tool, before the $100 battery) is only equivalent with its air analog on the 1/365th of the year shop pressure runs at 90 because the OSHA guy is poking around and it's a heck of a lot bulkier.

When you start getting into 3/4 and 1" it's not even a comparison.

The cordless is nice to have but it's a luxury/convenience tool, not a replacement.
I wondered it this might be a reason for Intel disabling AVX-512 on it's most recent chips.

>Electromigration is the movement of atoms based on the flow of current through a material. If the current density is high enough, the heat dissipated within the material will repeatedly break atoms from the structure and move them. This will create both ‘vacancies’ and ‘deposits’. The vacancies can grow and eventually break circuit connections resulting in open-circuits, while the deposits can grow and eventually close circuit connections resulting in short-circuit...

In Black’s equation, which is used to compute the mean time to failure of metal lines, the temperature of the conductor appears in the exponent, i.e. it strongly affects the MTTF of the interconnect

https://www.synopsys.com/glossary/what-is-electromigration.h...

Intel's new chips already run hot and running AVX-512 instructions has required increasing the voltage.

>One of the big takeaways from our initial Core i7-11700K review was the power consumption under AVX-512 modes, as well as the high temperatures. Even with the latest microcode updates, both of our Core i9 parts draw lots of power. The Core i9-11900K in our test peaks up to 296 W, showing temperatures of 104ºC, before coming back down to ~230 W and dropping to 4.5 GHz.

There are a number of ways to report CPU temperature. We can either take the instantaneous value of a singular spot of the silicon while it’s currently going through a high-current density event, like compute, or we can consider the CPU as a whole with all of its thermal sensors. While the overall CPU might accept operating temperatures of 105ºC, individual elements of the core might actually reach 125ºC instantaneously. So what is the correct value, and what is safe?

That perception is generally correct. Even having switched to tech from another field I took seriously...it's still luck that I was able to do so to a significant degree.
Aldi's distribution has been hit particularly badly. A couple of weeks ago, my local Aldi had run out of salt. I never would have imagined a grocery store could run out of salt.

Nigeria lifts Twitter ban from midnight, government official says
Purely from the perspective of their mortgage it is at worst neutral. Sure it sucks that other goods will be increasing in cost relative to the mortgage but even if you got no raises at all over the lifetime of your mortgage and during that period there was positive inflation you are in real terms not paying any more on your mortgage than you were when you got it.

* Assuming a fixed interest rate of course. Don't put that evil on anyone.
Interesting. That looks much like what the proposed idea (using SQLite) is. Use both clients and servers. No?
No, mandatory vaccination triggered the "Great Self-Dismissal of Fanatical Antisocial Psychopathic Science-Denying Anti-Vax Menaces to Society and Dangers to Themselves and Others", not the "Great Resignation".

Many of them go on to overcrowd the ICUs and morgues, so they are actually unwittingly doing their former employers and co-workers and evolution itself a huge favor by resigning and letting natural selection take its course, to smugly "own the libs".

It's kind of like Mitt Romney's idea of "Self Deportation", but for Trump supporters and gullible Fox News suckers instead of immigrants, and they're self-deporting themselves from the Earth, not just the USA.
I basically lived this arc in fast motion that week. Monday I was like “huh, interesting”, Tuesday I had some laughs with my Dad (who works in banking) about how crazy it was, then Wednesday I started seeing a lot of my friends who work in retail and food service talking seriously about getting Robinhood accounts and kicking themselves for “not getting in on the ground floor”. By Thursday I was texting close friends trying to convince them not to dump their paycheck on this bonfire.

All along the way, there were some people who were calling me a killjoy and saying that everyone on board was in it for the lulz. But the people I saw doing this were not ironic memelords or anything, they were earnest working class folks who were taking the memes at face value and throwing money at what they believed was a chance to take down wall street while make money doing it.

Yale is a great school, and there's nothing wrong with being an autodidact. A lot of the people here are as well. It doesn't mean you don't know what you're talking about. I'm also agnostic regarding dark matter. Let the lovers of phlogiston talk, and time will tell who is right.
>but this is never used to discourage all participation in the labor force because employers are often shitty.

Because not working is not a viable option for any significant number of people. But you can certainly work without union representation.
There are 10s of thousands of open source projects out there going smoothly, please don't make any drastic decisions based on anecdotal evidence.
Wow, do you know if it's because people quit or were sick at home with Covid? I remember the week after New Year's going into a grocery store (Ballard Market here in Seattle) and there were probably around 50% of the employees normally working there. I assumed it was due to people being at home sick, but didn't ask.

Last I checked, wireguard had much better performance than sshuttle. May or may not matter for your use case, but it's a reason.
Uber and Lyft execs: let’s take a 30% cut of every driver’s income while trying to classify them as contractors and avoid employee costs and other bothersome rules.
Well, to be fair it also came from billionaires, hedge funds and financial institutions getting in much later than you did, along with at least some genuine utility, some of which benefits people suffering in corrupt political regimes.
There are only 7,157 subscribers to /r/poor

There are 194,177 subs in /r/coinbase and 3,780,323 in /r/bitcoin.

Given the low numbers and selection bias of subreddit membership, it seems hard to draw any meaningful conclusions.

If you assume everyone who subscribes to /r/poor is poor

AND everyone in /r/poor is also on crypto subreddits

AND crypto subreddit users are representative of broader populations (very tenuous assumptions), that means our lower bounds are:

- /r/coinbase is 3.7% poor

- /r/bitcoin is 0.2% poor

Both of those are well below the general poverty rate so... who cares?

/r/poor subscribers probably are not a representative sample of poverty anyways, so these are pretty meaningless statistics.
> I expect the civil war will end with a whimper and reunification.

Why do you suppose China hasn’t already prevailed?

Taiwan is a hard target. China’s ships crossing the strait will be highly vulnerable, as will aircraft.

What Taiwan needs in order to maintain the current status quo is an improved asymmetric threat leveraging anti-ship and surface-to-air missiles. Ideally such missile systems will be numerous, highly mobile and concealable.

If China knows it can’t land a viable invasion force, hostilities will never begin. That’s aside from the likely involvement of the US and regional allies like South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and Australia.

I'm curious about what exactly a "small fortune" would be to post an image to the Bitcoin blockchain.

For example, the Bitcoin Whitepaper PDF was embedded into the blockchain as 20kb. Here's a link to the specific transaction, encoded as a transaction with 947 outputs that hold the data: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/54e48e5f5c656b26c3bca14a8c...

Looking at the record, this transaction cost 198724 bytes. https://btc.network/estimate suggests that a transaction with 198724 bytes would cost about $200.

Not bad! Anyone up for posting a picture of Tank Man to the blockchain for $200?

Ah I googled to check and -- of course it's already been done in 2017: https://www.vice.com/en/article/z4k73w/someone-put-the-tiana...
My investments knowledge is limited, but I think ARKG is an ETF, but not an index funds.

It is actively managed, meaning that specific stocks are selected to be part of the fund. This is the opposite of an index fund, where the goal is to buy the whole market.

That's why a fund like ARKG can sometime outperform the market, or, like recently, under perform. An index fund would match the whole market performance, no more no less.
That could work, I don't know what the backend software is, maybe node.js. Our in house web apps are built around Telerik but I don't know much about what it does.
This is basically the 1930s stock market crash all again. Once your nannies grandma starts talking about crypto you know the bubble is due to pop soon.
I tend to agree with you, but Apple doesn't want to leave that pile of Benjamins on the table! And AFAIK, what Apple is doing is legal.

There should be the iPhone price and the Android price. Just charge iPhone users more.
Commenters don’t seem to understand what the metric means. This is saying that a subscriber to r/poor is 118x more likely to engage with r/btc than a randomly chosen redditor.

It doesn’t mean that bitcoiners are more likely to be poor. It doesn’t really mean poor people are likely to be on btc either if r/poor is just not representative. But the initial statement does seem solid.

The size of the group doesn’t really impact this assuming it’s not tiny.
Ok, but please don't post this sort of shallow riler-upper to HN. We're trying for something more interesting and less repetitive here, and subthreads like this end up choking that out.

Edit: for example, after I downweighted the current subthread, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29914127 became the top subthread. Talk about from one extreme to the other...

everyone on this site thinks they're an expert after reading an article or three. this site is kinda insane that way.

almost no one here is willing to admit, in the heat of a discussion, that they don't know everything about the topic at hand, and it is maddening.
Here we go again. Hopefully the person Krebs is doxxing is actually the real culprit this time.
There is a lot of propagation delay where a few key bottlenecks radiate out though industries that have transitive inputs in those bottlenecks.

I'd think that the root supply issues were easing over last year, so much of what we are seeing is still an echo what's already come.

If omicron blows through as fast as it arose, I'd say things are looking up. Still team transitory.
What information? The only thing I can think it's easier to find on the Dark Web than on the open web is illegal drug prices and shitty grey hat software, because like you can't check ebay or Amazon for those. Everything else I found at least from the wikis and link sites was conspiracy bullshit or porn.
sshutle's page is terrible at explaining what it does. It mentions a common problem ("I have that, yes please!") and then just says "get sshuttle" and ends there.
This seems cool. A python-based CMS that can (optionally) generate a static site:

"Wagtail will allow you to generate static sites using django-bakery and the Wagtail Bakery add-on package. It allows you to easily serve static HTML pages to end-users creating a frighteningly quick site with all the advantages of a content management system."
The U.S. has the consumer products that have reached global scale.

And they probably want to deal only with engineers from the U.S. for legal reasons.

And up until recently, they’ve only hired in the Valley.

Finding qualified distributed system engineers with that funnel would definitely reduce the pool to several thousands.

The title seems click-bait(ish). There's no data here specific to HN to demonstrate that this general observation applies on HN as well. There are also levels of engagement: A person who never comments might not creat content, but their upvotes would still influence what people see yet it seems those folks would be counted outside of the 10%.

It would be really interesting to see stats on unique user view to HN vs Unique posters and commenters, I suspect HN might violate to 10% rule, but without that for the headline to make that claim one way or another is just silly
If I understand it correctly, it's suggesting that a user of /r/poor is 118 times as likely to comment on /r/btc than the average user. I don't think the crypto subs being large has any significance whatsoever. If anything it just strengthens the signal when you're looking at it in that direction.

Reversing the direction doesn't mean much. It just means that users of crypto subs have stronger links elsewhere, like to investing.

If you were going to try to draw a really big conclusion from this (you shouldn't) it would be something like "a large portion of those who are poor are involving themselves with crypto," not like "being into crypto will make you poor."
There's nothing "toxic" about wanting to become wealthy, and taking steps to do it. In fact, it's the basis of the American economy.

We all have iphones, for example, because Jobs wanted to get rich.
>>>Have you read the actual documents? Most of it is Murphy’s unsubstantiated opinion.

His letter to the Inspector General lists reference documents. Even a cursory search via DDG yields some of them, which were covered on HN when they were released back in September ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28965770 ).

>>>Nowhere in the documents is any proof that DARPA rejected the research due to gain of function concerns.

Here's the rejection: https://drasticresearch.files.wordpress.com/2021/09/hr00118s...

"The team discusses risk mitigation strategies to address potential risks of the research to public health and animal safety but does not mention or assess potential risks of Gain of Function (GoF) research and DURC. Given the team's approach does potentially involve GoF/DURC research (they aim to synthesize spike glycoproteins that may bind to human cell receptors and insert them into SARSsr-CoV backbones to assess capacity to cause SARS-like disease), if selected for funding an appropriate DURC risk mitigation plan should be incorporated into contracting language that includes a responsible communications plan."

Major Murphy's letter also states: "When synthesized with the EcoHealth Alliance proposal, US collections confirm EcoHealth Alliance was performing the work proposed. The analysts produce their reports in a vacuum, absent the context the proposal provides. As a fellow at DARPA, I could see both, and can do the synthesis."

Do you have access to the intelligence agency collections plans, and/or their analyst outputs? What information do you have that contradicts his statement that his conclusions are corroborated by Top Secret intel analysis?

>>>Everything else is fan fiction by a soldier.

I see empty shelves in our local Targets here in SoCal quite frequently. Pasta has been hard to get, and dairy items are sparse.
> I think this is simply that crypto subreddits are big, and so if you try to find the overlap between r/poor and anything else, a big subreddit will be high on the list.

These are the largest subreddits https://frontpagemetrics.com/top. There's not a lot of overlap.

For whatever demo visits r/poor, they have a significant interest in crypto.
> Imagine Google pulling the same stunt for inclusion into their app store and it quickly becomes apparent how the pricing structure is laughable at face value.

As of September of 2021 in the US[1], both Apple and Google's mobile app payment policies have converged[2] as Google mandates that all app developers use their payment platform and only their payment platform, along with mandating a 15% to 30% cut of all app payments. I believe Google's policy matches Apple's when it comes to this example.

I don't know how you're supposed to discover this, but highlighting a file result in Spotlight and holding the Command key will show you where it is, and Command+Enter will open the parent directory in Finder with the file highlighted
I handle this pragmatically by using different VMs with assorted browsers, browser configs, and exit addresses. For the context of buying from CVS (realworld nym, heavy surveillance), I'm running NoScript and slowly enable domains until the site works. Doing this for some sites actually speeds them up considerably (eg Home Depot).
The real problem is treating them like investments, when buying/spending is what makes them valuable.

I bought $1000 worth of BTC in ~2006. If I'd held onto it I would...probably not be a millionaire today, even if the math says so, because it was band new then, and using them is what makes them valuable.

It's a tragedy of the commons problem I believe.
While other more knowledgeable folks than I have pointed out some very important things about your highly-declarative statement about dark matter, I'll raise one minor point about this research finding, which you can glean by reading the abstract of the actual paper [0].

The galaxy in question, AGC 114905, is described as lacking dark matter _because_ its rotational characteristics are readily explained by its baryonic matter content alone. MOND, therefore (and your entire argument), does not apply. You may have mistaken this for a regular galaxy with "missing" matter that also happens to lack dark matter, which would then suggest the need for an alternate explanation.

EDIT: The abstract also says, among other things: "We also find that the rotation curve of AGC 114905 deviates strongly from the predictions of Modified Newtonian dynamics."

Gamestop is still up 500% YOY. I'm pretty surprised it's held so much value.
This is the case in r/WSB for stocks but I've rarely seen stuff quite like that in crypto subs (check e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/top/ ). The discussions are low quality and people do obviously believe they will make money but that specific type of post isn't all that common.

Of course, I don't visit the smaller memecoin subs which might be like that and same for possibly the Dogecoin one which is the largest one which I imagine might have that type of post.
No, I'd rather use my own machines, and anyway I don't have the network bandwidth to upload photos.

Alright, so then if microsoft wanted to ban alternative web browsers, or engage in anti-competitive practices that are currently illegal, and they lost the court case for, your answer is "Yes, that should be allowed for microsoft to do"?

Most of society would agree that laws that outlaw anti-competitive behavior are a good thing.

And if you opinion is the naive "just vote with your feet, lol" position, then you need to bite the bullet and just straight up say that you think that anti-trust law is bad. Just say that you support the standard oil monopoly, or the microsoft monopoly and be honest about it.
Of course I agree with my peer comment, that the alternative to an H-1B isn't open borders. There are a number of other countries with much more reasonable immigration programs - Canada and Australia for instance - which prioritize immigration of individuals that would provide the most value for the labor market by assigning skills and attributes a point value. It's important to separate out the quantity of immigration, what they do/where they go, and how they're restricted in the process.

With that in mind, consider also that 'and according to a 2018 study by the National Foundation for American Policy, immigrants founded or cofounded 55% of the United States' billion-dollar companies.' [1] It's not a zero-sum game, and stapling would-be founders to companies they would rather not work at for decades (H-1B for Indian born folks) hoping to get the freedom to found the next unicorn is quite a waste of time, talent and their risk-on years.

As an aside, it's interesting that folks want high wages, high disposable income, low inequality, low prices and low inflation all at the same time. I strongly suspect that these are fundamentally incompatible goals. Feels like, at most, a pick-two kind of thing.
