I knew when I bought crypto it was being manipulated. I don't give a fuck, I use it as a medium of exchange usually dumping it within a few minutes of buying it in order to buy some goods online to avoid credit card fees (precious metals).

It's true dollar is manipulated. It is true crypto is manipulated. It is true many people such as myself purely is it as a medium of exchange. Just like with dollars, I dump it as quickly as possible to buy physical assets or other investments, lest the government inflate my fiat or manipulators manipulate my crypto.

In short, currencies are usually bad choice for store of value. Fed intentionally destroys USD by target of 2% a year to intentionally sabotage store of value.

Back to the point. Pretty much all coins are manipulated. Even commodity money. Best to avoid regulation so government's hand is out of the pot. Also I recommend people not use crypto as investment, that is probably not smart idea to consider long chain of cryptographic signatures and hashes as a large portion of investment on your future. Or piece of paper with a president and a number on it on it either.
Do you happen to have any open source code for this that I could look at. I am looking to do some interactive graph viz and would love to see if there is something I could reference
The "Mandela Effect" is the dumbest of all meme "Effects." It should be renamed the "I didn't pay attention to apartheid or notice when or how it ended" effect. Until you linked me to the wiki page, I hadn't realize it was coined by a "paranormal consultant."
interesting, and thank you that was enough information to find it:

http://blog.summer.squeak.org/2009/

that's more than 10 years ago. bummer.

and it looks like it was a gsoc project for squeak with an attempt to port to pharo after gsoc was over, and apparently it was never fully completed to begin with even for squeak. the author then probably dropped it because life got in the way. that's an unfortunate outcome of some gsoc projects. not all end up being successfully integrated.

getting this to work on pharo now would be a bit more effort than merely keeping up with pharos development.
Someone else here pointed out that it's likely the total budget for the 4 person core team is $30k, not $30k each.
Working in the us is difficult for citizens of most countries. While there is treaty relations us/Canada/Mexico facilitating work, employment visas are required: H1b or “expert” or “company transfers”. This takes time and effort and money which companies might not want to expend. Even in the era of remote work companies need a tax nexus to handle workers.
It is disturbing to find one's intuition failing in higher dimensions.

You can always specify the type.

let foo: T = bar.parse()?;

// or let foo = bar.parse::<u32>()?;

baz(foo);

In my experience I've never found this to be surprising behavior, or unclear.
You mean this page doesn't run javascript when you click the button? How is this possible?

What do you think BLM is? Would it surprise you to learn that the vast majority of the BLM protests in 2020 were completely nonviolent? Or that more than a couple of marches led by MLK were marred by violence?

MLK was hated by many at the time. To see why, just look at the comments opposing BLM today. They are conspicuously similar in tone and content.
It’s the same logic that drives how they handle OS licensing.
Finally, something new in this space that I haven't heard of or read before. Thank you for sharing.

It's even worse than that because of the algorithms.

They show you more of what they think you like, but the bubbles are quite narrow. For example, suppose you want to see what's going on with all the vaccine skepticism.

There is a bubble centered around Joe Rogan. They're talking about how the existing vaccines aren't as effective against Omicron as they were against previous variants, and debating whether the (in both cases low) incidence of myocarditis in adolescents is higher from the vaccine or from the virus.

Then there is a bubble centered around Alex Jones. They're telling you that Bill Gates is putting microchips in the vaccines and that the vaccines cause protein folding and therefore prions.

You click on the wrong thing and the algorithm decides you want to see more of that. It surrounds you with the people who already believe those things. Now you're the skeptic and they're the establishment and you're trying to remember enough of high school biology to describe the relationship between protein folding and prions while conceding that maybe Bill Gates does suck and maybe that does make him technically a vampire, but could someone explain what that has to do with population control?

Meanwhile there are plenty of scientists who are happy to explain it to you, but once it decides you want to see fear porn, you don't get to see the people debunking it anymore.

And Alex Jones is just the canonical exemplar. The bubbles like that form everywhere. You have people who still believe that the people Kyle Rittenhouse shot were black, or that Julian Assange reports to Putin.

One of the most self-perpetuating ones is the myth that "misinformation" is caused by not banning "bad" people, when it's actually caused by not exposing everyone to contrary viewpoints so that they lose the opportunity to have their mistakes corrected.

But telling people what they want to hear sells more advertising than eat your vegetables, so doing the wrong thing is more profitable.
I imagine it would be implemented as mundane looking levers and configurations. Especially easy to do in ML powered systems with lots parameters and moving parts.
The #1 answer is factually correct but wrong from a practical standpoint.

The trouble isn't that he came across a file that starts with a byte order mark but rather if you are going to inhale large amounts of text from the web and other low quality sources you are going to get wrongly encoded text.

The BOM is allowed by some specs but it is really junk, it dates from an age when 16-bit encodings that might be big or endian encoding were hypothetically possible. In real life you never see those unless somebody is screwing around with Notepad in Windows. You occasionally see the meaningless BOM and it's not that different from the random iso-latin-1 character as a single you see from time to time even in a document that also uses proper utf-8 multibyte sequences. All the time you see multibyte sequences that are wrong according to some readings of the spec.

What's unacceptable is crashing when you get text like this so you should be looking at the errors option of open.

Shaders: How Do They Work?
It started as an answer to the "restore nature, kill all humans" environmentalist ideologies that appeared at the 70's to 90's. It then became an attack at the "I don't care about Nature" anti-enviromentalism from the 80's to 00's.

Nowadays I think this comment has no target, it's just repeated as a joke.
This is the first time I read about a price increase and thought, “do I really use Netflix much?”

Right now I use prime more often and I bounce around with various add-one’s. Right now using Paramount Plus.

And the voice-overs on Netflix are down right annoying. I wish I could hide content with voice overs. The translations are terribly comedic as they try to match the mouth movements somewhat. It’s terrible. I’m tired of sifting through them.
Lol. I mean they probably did go through some of these motions but there is no way to trust the predictive value of such methods in a constantly-changing and competitive industry.
> A counterpoint would be that what some call the intrinsic value is the expected future share price based on expected future revenues.

Sure, but plenty of tech companies have never paid dividends and never will. FB's shareholders would have legal claim to a portion of: a) a buyout (but nobody could afford to take FB private), b) a liquidation (so, you're buying in in case FB goes bankrupt), or c) future dividends (but FB's boy-king privileged stockholder doesn't want to pay dividends)...

Which I think was Ben's point.
This subtitle thing is a real mess.

Netflix content that is available in .nl and .br (I'm in .nl, my wife speaks pt-br) only have a couple of subtitles (english, german, sometimes dutch) and the same content in .br has totally different set of subtitles.

appletv+ and disney+ and amazon prime simply offer all available subs. So it's not a UI issue, simply have a look at how they do it.

And then they wonder why people pirate and use opensubtitles/legendas.tv ? Should be really really easy for them to fix.
And also something he gave more speeches (sermons) on than anything else, was that on the topic of the Bible, and his faith.

Yes, this is kind of stupid.

Certain people have been doing this sort of thing forever. It was never a good idea. Whenever you probe why they thought it was a good idea, all the reasons (where they are expressible at all) turn out to depend on falsehoods. Most usually, though, it amounts to laziness about learning anything new.

You can see effective use of Modern C++ in SerenityOS, to excellent effect.
> The promise of low code.

Not exactly. We still have shitloads of code. It has just been modularized & standardized such that each component can now mostly be configured by SQL the business writes.

Our product is a B2B application, and each one of our customers has very precise & unique business rules they would like to see applied.

Every customer uses the same code pile, but with varying configuration (SQL).

Any system that runs off anonymous messages is going to have a spam problem. There isn't anything special about how email is designed that enables spam past that. If you were to design a new system you would have to have signed messages. But we could just do that now with email.

It isn't a design choice, it is a choice that we make every time we send an unsigned email.
Absolutely. It feels like playing battlefield. Just like you do not see the soldiers in that game, you don't know where the buttons or clickable things are. Does this page when scroll? Who knows. Maybe it does.
The document I've linked is written by an English speaking government, to convey to other English speakers on how to properly write the name of something within it's territorial borders. That same writing convention is also used by the local government, the citizens who live in that location, and indigenous population. This is not akin to multiple names for various locations in different languages (e.g. Vienna and Wien). The name of the island in English IS "Hawai'i" as defined by both the government who controls that island, and the culture on that island. Ergo, when writing the term in English, we should use "Hawai'i".

Misspelling "Hawai'i" as "Hawaii" is an understandably common error akin to how sometimes people use "Holland" and "The Netherlands" interchangeably (despite one being simply a region in the other). But make no mistake, the name in English for the country is The Netherlands, and the name in English for the region is Holland. Similarly, the name in English for the state is Hawaii, and the name in English for the island is Hawai'i. I find it strange that you are so insistent on this.
I tend to agree that dates and times are awful to work with but storing everything as a Unix timestamp still seems to be the easiest way to avoid most of the headaches, in my experience. there's nothing worse than trying to reconcile a database filled with naive dates with no associated time zone information. is it daylight savings? is it in this timezone or did they enter it while traveling and their computer automatically updated the time?

The simplest way to minimize these issues, in my experience, is to put the logic for converting local time into UTC in the program and only store the Unix stamps in the DB.
Ad exchanges are not a regulated activity like stock exchange is. That means there is no SEC equivalent for Google's ad market activity.
Right, because cash has never afforded anonymity... always good enough for the government agencies.
This is an entirely boring and tired trope.
How about the simple ability to transfer value across international borders, free of extraneous % fees imposed by unnecessary middlemen? That alone is enough of a use case to justify adoption. Banks have reaped rewards unearned for long enough. Those capable and responsible enough to manage their affairs can do so
> Users are consistently choosing locked down Apple ecosystem over more open Android. How are you going to explain this?

Not true in my part of the world. I don't know, maybe people over there see iPhone as a status symbol? Or just think it's the best phone? Or maybe they trust Apple more than they trust G. I'm glad they can make the choice!

> You also need to realise that you’re not an average user. You’re in 0.0001% of the population when it comes to use of technology and your preferences might not reflect the average Joe.

I fail to see how this is relevant to the discussion.

> Most phones would quickly fill up with apps doing malware, phishing, spam, crypto mining and DDoS attacks.

I disagree. Most users would consistently choose to stick to a locked down store they trust; in your part of the world, perhaps that'd be the Apple store if they trust locked down ecosystems as much as you think. But in a world where the platform's blessed app store isn't a monopoly, they'd have other alternatives to choose from.

A small fraction of users would be tricked into installing malware, but it's not as if they were immune to that right now.
For the rest of the world who might not be aware why this is up, this is a speech an American Civil rights leader gave about 60 years ago at the height of a lot of issues in the US with race relations.

Today in America it's "Martin Luther King day", a public holiday celebrating his birthday (15th Jan), many businesses are closed. He was assassinated in 1968.
I found cytoscape to be annoying because it assumes you are using npm.
Ted Lasso is the best thing there, but far from the only thing. The catalog is pretty solid. I personally loved Mythic Quest and Schmigadoon. I have mixed feelings about Foundation as an adaptation, but I like it pretty well as a stand-alone thing.

Looking forward to trying out For All Mankind, See, Macbeth, and Invasion; the first two seem especially well liked by friends.

Bounced off Physical and Dickinson, but that had nothing to do with the quality of the shows; they're well made and have excellent acting.

The wide variety of stories and genres are lacking, but I think the quality of the average Apple TV+ show is quite a bit higher than the average Netflix show, on par with most of HBO.
I was put through through multiple gifted programs in both middle school and high school (Southern US). I loved the challenging course work from dealing with college level science classes as early as the 7th grade. The main problem with gifted programs is it really makes normal public schooling extra miserable once you are back with the general population. Uncaring teachers, scantron tests, and large classes sizes left me depressed with schooling quality.

Once I got to college after graduating from a boarding school for gifted teens it was like a culture shock back to the world of horrible professors. I nearly failed out of college due to being completely uninterested with the lack of engaging materials in first semester classes.

Ended up with a degree in broadcast journalism because it was an easy path to graduating in less than 3 years. Especially because I was graduating during the 2008 financial crisis and just wanted to be done with school and find whatever job I could to get a start in the real world.

It's a nice piece of paper for HR to nod at and let me pass the degree hurdle.

My favorite moment was working a shit retail job in 2010 and running into another graduate of the same gifted high school working a fast food job just to survive.

EDIT// I did have some classmates go to found companies, work for NASA, etc. They were driven people who could have prospered in any scenario honestly.

You should leave when you have a better opportunity elsewhere. No more, no less.
For anybody wondering, the Cuckoo's Egg (written in 1989 by Cliff Stoll) is a wonderful read about tracking an early hacker. I highly recommend it.
I think it's a relevant anecdote, don't you? That the very place where King advocated for civil rights 60 years ago is now attempting to white-wash it's racist history.

Not every part of the US is. But that one certainly is.

Whatever overarching point you want to make about the state of race relations and debate in the United State in the 2020s, it is a fact that in the "Land of the Free", open discussion of historical injustices is being suppressed.

I'm sure someone might raise the point that some anti-gay/trans bigotry books are ALSO being suppressed, so I'll preemptively state that these are not the same thing.
If your livelihood is tied to an app in the store being published, you gotta play ball.

If you can survive with or without the app being published, then I'd definitely take a crack at trying to explain to Google what their problem is.
While I agree with the gist of your message, it must be noted that the State of Hawaii did not sell an island to Larry Ellison. Rather, most of Lanai, the island you are mentioning, was previously owned by a pineapple company. And Larry Ellison bought that land.

I highly recommend spending some time in Lanai if you find yourself on Maui. It’s a short boat ride, there’s a couple good beaches, some interesting geography, and about 1/1000 the volume of tourists you run into on Maui.
That's not how SPACs work. You can only use the funding raised as basically a dowry for a merger with a private company. It's low risk to investors because they simply get their money back if 2 years pass without a merger, and the people who run the SPAC lose everything they spent on getting their SPAC to the stock market. Right now, the market is saturated with SPACs, but there are only so many private companies looking to go public.
Oh I did take a quick look at the repo but didn't notice it was in the SQL. Thank you!
Hmm, interesting.

I'm using supabase which essentially autogenerates the entire server-side part. So all my logic is client side. What's missing is tighter integration between swrv/vue-swrv and the supabase client so that when you run a query it can be smart enough to know if you apply it locally or remotely.

No, it's just fraud. It makes plenty if sense for the person taking the money.
I don't think it's that silly since there's a very real risk to water supply contamination. As we saw in Flint, MI, apathy absolutely allows mass degradation of important infrastructure to the point of failure. But we accept it because it's not happening in our community.
:) It's not a niche use case for me either; I was just trying to account for the fact that it is likely niche to most of HN's (likely US-centric) readership.

Well - I think the idea is mostly to replace the collaboration aspects of Git. I mean - I think Git is great as a version control system, but feel it's a bit lacking when it comes to collaborating. I just don't think merge conflicts are a good way to consolidate changes.

This is why the tool places emphasis on feature flags and provides them as a built-in part of its solution. To give developers the power to work in the same branch without tripping over each other's feet.
This is excessive cautionary crap. It won't do anything to reduce the spread. It just makes people excessively fearful of a virus they are going to contract no matter what they do. Instead of telling kids to be strong and enjoy life, they're robbing these children of their precious childhood. Fear and toxic paranoia is the worst thing you can spread.
> Taking an action that causes a finite resource (fds, memory, ports, etc.) to be allocated and used up is fundamentally different from just flipping a bit in a resource that already exists.

The lock itself is the finite resource. Only one consumer can lock it at a time. And there are very much systems where semaphores are kernel objects that can run out (although they tend to be older systems that thankfully we've moved away from for the most part).

> Is automatic storage and block scopes conceptual baggage too then? I think that is only true if you reject the execution model that implies a stack.

RAII very much uses the stack model of functions and blocks at its core too; defer doesn't have a monopoly on that.
The other problem is, you have to specify table and column names in queries (duh, how else), but that means the entire persistence model is hard coded and need manual tweaking and so on.

This resonates with me If I understand you correctly, with RDBMS/SQL, the structural decisions you make in the database to represent your data "poison" your application making it difficult to change over time.

I wonder how much is companies playing on the expectation of inflation. Inflation is a mass psychological phenomenon - if people expect prices to rise, they do, and also businesses can raise them with less loss of sales volume.
Blue is generally training [0], but the standard loadout for the A-10 was a 5:1 mix of depleted uranium API and HEI rounds. (per wiki [1]) I think there was a move to change that ratio given that they were much more likely to be shooting unarmored technicals than T-69s, though. (And you wouldn't put HEAT in a 30mm projectile anyways, far too small diameter)

Their argument is that road budgets are a consequence of the same poor designs that lead to conditions that promote crime as well. Busy streets tend to be safer. Additionally, places that aren't economically self-sustaining drive people to property crime. All of this is addressed in the first pages of "The Death and Life of Great American Cities".
No commitments - but I'm hoping to get the terminal sharing parts out the door in a month or two!
During his lifetime, MLK was far more highly regarded by those outside the US than he was by those within it.

Mainstream America never really accepted and embraced him until after his death and with a heaping dose of whitewashing. (As seen by far too many folks who only know his Dream speech and Selma march.)
