Mercenaries? I doubt it. Cheap rent-a-cops to burn in a hire & fire way, like their fulfilment center slaves seems more likely.

Which after a while leads to enough people knowing about their ways, and enables easy sabotage :-)

Flat bottom wok doesn’t really work. You lose the heat going up the sides. I bought one of those butane table top burners just for wok use. Induction is great for everything else.
The application of Bitcoin is also crystal clear: distributed, digital money. It’s like gold, but electronic, and therefore much faster/cheaper in certain scenarios (and slower/more expensive in others).

Reasonable people disagree on whether this application is actually something we need, or will need in the future. But the application is clear as day.
Note that you specific left out the contextual clue where I said "In my experience" that is not how it's used in practice as an immediate follow-up to that sentence about how it's used. I am not making a general case, but talking specifically about safety-critical code from the very start. I am not saying everyone must use my definition in the general case. I'm saying in the very specific subset of cases, there is an objective definition for good reason.

Let me try a different tack to see if we can get off this pedantic merry-go-round. You've agreed that cognitive biases affect decision-making. So let's say as a developer you are working on safety-critical code that is in danger of being over schedule and over budget. Their manager says if the project isn't successful, your company will lose future work to a competitor and that might leave you out of a job. But if it is delivered on time, you're company will get a massive windfall in terms of future contracts and profits, and likely lead you to a big promotion. What do you do to ensure those cognitive biases do not influence you to incorrectly discount risks and ship the software early before the risks are properly addressed?

(Btw, it's a really bad method of communicating to use absolute terms like 'everyone'. For one, it makes it look like you think you're smarter than you are and more importantly, it's easily falsifiable. That type of communication belongs more on r/iamverysmart than HN)

Not sure there is a strict necessity for "losers", either, if you want to go to positive sum, but claim some gain more than others lose. Situations where in a small world both sides gain (ie no loser) are conceivable.

Edit: I flatly reject the notion that strictly someone's gain requires someone's (non-proportinate) loss, ie that there are always "losers". That notion is also not really a current macroeconomic position.
It’s cool that we can now root the latest firmwares, but the 50-hours limit for dev mode has an easy workaround. I’ve been meaning to blog about it, but basically use the webos sdk to ssh into the tv, get your tv session token stored in /var/luna/preferences/devmode_enabled and then have a cronjob somewhere that curl https://developer.lge.com/secure/ResetDevModeSession.dev?ses... every day or so.

This keep resetting the timeout - the dev mode app still shows the wrong countdown but apps will still open. Been using this for ad free YouTube for a few months.
I think it comes down to what motivates your music, and what you prioritize. My focus is sound design, so the quicker I can get melodies written, the better. Now you might reasonably think: "but if you memorize all this stuff, you won't need your handy app with an interactive circle of fifths!"[0]

And that's true! The trouble is, the last time I tried learning using techniques like this, I could never remember it with any amount of practice, and it made me so down about music that I quit for years. If I cared much about melodies, improvising, and/or performance, I might have the drive to invest effort past that hurdle, but I don't. I did have the drive for sound design--which is at least as complicated as foundational western music theory--because the whole thing fascinates me, so that's what I prioritize.

> You buy a bitcoin and you can be fairly confident in a decade or two you'll still have it.

You’ll have a copy of some hashes. That doesn’t mean anyone will want to buy them at the price you want or even that there will be an operating network around them.

This is especially important to learn when it comes to NFTs: blockchains are too inefficient to store the media so you’re still dependent on paying for outside hosting (yes, even with IPFS). Because you’re buying a link but not the rights, you would also need to make sure you have the right to even make your own mirror, too.
Those per transaction limits are for YOUR protection so in case someone hacks into your account they won't empty it and you can ask the bank to raise the limits.

Banks ask you the reason for transactions beyond a certain amount because they have to report it to authorities.

Large transactions like paying for a property don't happen at the drop of the hat. You won't just wake up in the middle of the night and decide to buy a property immediately right then.
Not a volcanologist here but I've always loved volcanoes.

It's probably gonna depend on how long it keeps erupting. Volcanic eruptions are rated (VEI index) on volume of material ejected, but each level has 10x more material than the previous.

If this were a volcano on land... I'd guess we are at a 4 or so. As this is a volcano that just barely breached the surface and thus interacts with water alot... maybe a 3? Volcanoes like this create really violent explosions (like the ones heard yesterday), but that doesn't necessarily require more material.

As said though, it'll be hard to tell without knowing how long the eruption went on and seeing the state of the island.
Certainly the case with electric cars.

Subsidy in the form of a tax credit (so you need to front the government the money until tax season), so that you can buy something that basically only works if you own a house, into which you've already installed some infrastructure, itself subsidized via tax credit.

I can't help but think it would have been better to subsidize the purchase of used hybrids (or, you know, transit)

Consistent reflection is a huge force multiplier, but it's sadly underrepresented in self-improvement because it's not sexy or fast. Yet it's the only sustainable solution.

You can't fix what you don't know. Once you find out what's holding you back, you can put a plan in place to address it. This is a slow , iterative process - but it works.

Shameless plug, but this is my free program to cultivate regular reflection: https://themoai.org/intentionality
The problem is, you need a source of makeup air entering the building to actually move that much CFM out. Even with my basic 400 CFM (likely overstated) hood, it's only when I crack a window on the other side of the kitchen that I clearly see all the steam fly up the hood.
In the US the majority of people are over 30. Those numbers could easily just be describing the age of a population that uses Facebook regardless of age.

They can't interfere with what you want to do. They could try to prevent you from interacting for a while but it would be futile. There are heavy disencentives, and decentralised enough. Which is why this has basically never happened. Talking strictly bitcoin and Ethereum here.

In honesty I have no experience with a pledge asset line but I can guarantee you that if the institutions involved in conducting it wanted to, they could cancel it on you anytime. With a correctly coded smart contract on Ethereum, you could ensure that never happens.

One system requires trust in third parties. One gives you the option to design a system to minimise or eliminate it.

> How are you calculating those odds?

I truly have no idea what the answer is, but as someone well versed in economics, econometrics,and statistics, to me the relevant odds are not about independent coin tosses etc. I would like to know P(A|B) where:

A: sequence of 30 nucleotides appears in a virus identified in nature

B: sequence appears in a patent application that predates discovery in nature

Seems to me that would involve a whole bunch of arithmetic, but that ought to be calculable using this database.
The PlayPump: What Went Wrong
I would be surprised if this was not the case for the last 10+ years.Every new player gets to a point where if they're relevant they will be offered a paycheck.Refusal of that paycheck means war, and usually the older and bigger player wins, sooner or later.The reasons being simple: a new player often provides new interesting features, but scales very hard due to lack of resources.The old player just has to effectively copy these new features into it's existing product(which takes less time than scaling infrastructure).

Again, this is not news.Besides actual leaks we've had tv shows/movies depicting this phenomenon for at least a decade, and usually mainstream pictures hit the screen when it's already obvious that something was partially true.
You can go into any bank and get a document notarized for free or a few dollars.
I'm thinking of a blockchain where the ledger is public read (for verifications) and write-constrained. How can you verify the.legitimacy of the introduced data? Probably some other tool. But it being federated across countries would have the nice property of non-gatekeeping. There are politics in play, but if the UN is possible, só is such a system.

This is all just my theoretical assessment, anyway. And I agree that other standards and toolchain is necessary to add value. Blockchains don't do KYC nor identity verification and a lot of other things.
What is actually a heretical view?
I agree it is a very competitive career, mostly a winner take all world, and require a certain audacity and ego to make it through.

I would disagree that, just because a small percentage of them succeed, the artist path is a waste of resources.

The small number of big successes over the history have more than made up for the majority of failures in art.

Perhaps a more hacker news analogy is this: just because most start ups fail does not mean that pursuing start ups are a waste of resources. The competition creates a dialogue for people to tinker and figure out what really resonates with society.
I got some airly (https://airly.org/en/products/airly-sensor/) air quality sensors in my neighborhood that are using Helium and you can see other solutions that are using https://www.helium.com/ecosystem. Not sure about the actual usage over time from sensors vs new hotspots joining the network and paying the DC fee, but I'm following https://twitter.com/HNT_DC_Burn and this should increase if the Helium network will be adopted more by sensors/IoT companies. Also the 5G hotspots they are providing in the US will probably add some value as well. You can check the helium twitter feed for companies they partner with or are using the helium network.
This would be so helpful. About a year ago I got the combination of FZF and bat working for my command line history. It’s wild how much better and easier that makes it to find complex commands from the past.
I had a total shit thing happen with Paypal. Someone, I had no idea who, sent me $80 for a supposed transaction (which I think may have been legit they just did the wrong email address). Then they asked for a refund when they realized it was in error. Which PayPal wanted me to pay a fee for. I filed a dispute they auto refunded and charged me $20. So I refuse to use it now. They won't let me close the account either.

Such an MITM-powered phishing attack is certainly possible, but in practice it’s not quite such a problem as it seems at first:

ⓐ With a suitable HSTS and max-age header, it’s roughly only the first time you access the site at all that you’ll go via HTTP;

ⓑ Anyone can submit their site to the HSTS Preload list <https://hstspreload.org>, which solves the problem completely for a particular site (including subdomains);

ⓒ It only applies to people typing in the URL manually: if your users come from a link from another site, that link should be HTTPS.

This final point is really the key to it all, and the place where I wish browsers would hurry up: they should be shifting to interpreting URLs typed into the address bar with no scheme as https:, not http:. There will certainly be some rough edges that need to be caught with it, and you might want to set IP addresses and a small number of names to default to HTTP, but even without that, Firefox’s HTTPS-Only Mode has all the required ingredients: if I type “neverssl.com” into my address bar, it pops up the about:httpsonlyerror page, “HTTPS-Only Mode Alert / Secure Site Not Available” with explanatory text and buttons “Continue to HTTP Site” and “Go Back”. They could do something like that specifically for typed URLs. (You might think “just downgrade automatically”, but that’s an attack vector—they can just block port 443—where requiring manual user intervention with a mildly scary warning mitigates it somewhat.)

The default really should be HTTPS by now. A little while after browsers all finally flip that specific thing over, I think we could collectively shut down port 80 for good, because no clients will ever try it any more.
This is a known trade off between safety and convenience. Arguably we have enough expertise/data to move the set-point toward convenience with better automation.
One of reasons of large prison population is long sentences. Shorter sentences with better enforcement can be a better deterrent.

Do you know of any logistics company that actually uses it? What exactly do they store on blockchain? Who gets to add blocks to the chain? Are those permissioned blockchains? Can a private permissioned blockchain even be called blockchain? How does a private blockchain differ from a centralized database?
> Why is it so hard for many HN readers to consider that cannabis might cause schizophrenia?

Currently, approximately 129M US adults have used cannabis and there are 3.2M schizophrenics in US. 16% of schizophrenics use cannabis, while 27% have a history of using cannabis. This makes any correlation, if there is one, extremely difficult to see, because currently, at best, only 864K schizophrenics of 3.2M have ever used cannabis. This means, if there is actually a causation, then using cannabis entails a risk of 1 in 149.3 of causing schizophrenia, which seems high until you consider schizophrenia affects 1 in 300 people worldwide. So it is possible that using cannabis doubles risk of schizophrenia, but we wouldn't say it caused it. 100% of schizophrenics drink water... why isn't drinking water researched as a cause of schizophrenia?
Probably. Or I think another trick might be to put the container holding the milk inside another larger container of water. As the water goes to boiling, it steams away, and I think the boiling temp of water is slightly lower than milk.
"distributed group of participants to take it upon themselves to temporarily and physically enforce"

Do you think I should risk my life to enforce your property rights? I have two kids and I want to watch them grow up, I can't die because someone with a gun claimed ownership of a stranger's house.

Without an organized government of some kind, society does not scale beyond about 200 people. We just cannot keep track of relationships and trust and whatnot beyond that. I live in metropolitan area with a population of 25 million people; a distributed group of vigilantes enforcing property rights is not even remotely workable here, and this is not even the largest city in the world. My in-laws live in a suburban area with a lower population density -- their town has a population around 20 thousand, and that disorganized group is not going to work there either.
There is a legitimate reason to oppose header bidding: it results in higher latency than using traditional ad services. Ads served at lower latency tend to get more clicks, and so they have more value. Unfortunately, that means that header bidding results in less money for the website.
You could look at the Citi Double Cash card, it's 2% back on everything and they support "virtual account numbers" directly.
A nitpick is that [2] isn't front running. Front running is where you figure an institution is going to buy lots of some stock and get a buy order of your own in first, typically done by brokers.

Making fake trades to make the price look like it's going up can be called market manipulation in this case I think. This is also called painting the tape. A similar but slightly different scheme is wash trading where you basically sell an asset to yourself to make it look like that's the price and that there is trading volume going on. There's a lot of this kind of thing going on with NFTs.
I tend to agree with this. I'm not anti-formatting, but it seems that in the majority of cases, the "formatting" isn't done artfully, and actively makes it harder to read command output, etc.

With gas the challenge is to ensure the flame hasn't gone out.

With induction the challenge appears to be partial cycling (microwave-style) or simply just reducing power down to bare minimum.

For some things, say an authentic bolognese sauce or a chakchouka, I desperately want a tiny amount of heat, but neither modern gas cookers, or most induction cookers, will give me that. Xiaomi (yes, that Xiaomi) have a 0-99 induction cooker that nearly got me there, but even then I had to utilise a diffusion plate.

> some types of suffering - such as intense physical pain, or grief - simply aren't possible to be ignored or meditated or 'enlightened' out of. As long as you're feeling that pain, you're going to be uncomfortable.

On the contrary, one of the points of Buddhism is exactly that pain and suffering are not the same thing (and this agrees very much with modern neurology and psychology).

A corollary to this is advice my boss gave me, “while you’re trying to get to tomorrow, remember to live today.”

It’s easy to get into a cycle of constantly pushing things off in the hopes of a future where everything is fixed.

If you take time to take care of yourself now, you’ll be much more efficient in the long run.

In my own life, I’ve had to accept there are things I can’t control and I have very real limits on what I can do. I want to be better than I am now, but the pace will always be slower than I want. If I remember where I was before, and see where I am now, I know change and progress looks different up close and it does in hindsight.
There should be a reckoning. NASDAQ is not allowed to trade on its own exchange with more information than their customers the way Google does. Even _Coinbase_ isn't allowed to trade on its own exchange in an unfair way. Google is an exchange, a broker, a buyer, and a seller, and there are no financial regulations for the ad markets. Facebook is the same.
It also produces a tiny amount of light they say 15lm on the page - by comparison my cheapo IKEA ceiling light does 1800lm at 45W. I can't imagine this being an optimal lighting or power solution for anyone.
Agreed. Unless you have the context of the authors journey from their book or other works, it can read both ways. Usually it’s the whole “I embraced my mess when I became aware enough”. How do you become aware enough without first trying to change? Catch-22 in my opinion. That’s why I think changing for the better sometimes starts with no awareness, but rather a feeling inside saying you need to make a change (Japanese concept of Yugen)
