You are right and I misread. I will edit my comment. That being said 20-35 billion are estimates for the current year, which are already close to projected revenue estimates for Pfizer (not BioNTech) from the vaccine.
The idea is that for the Bitcoin network "knowing the private key" is 1:1 entriely equivale to "being the legitimate owner of the wallet". Onve someone has found out the private key of a wallet, they have the exact same access to that wallet as anyone else who knows the private key.

This is different from finding out someone's password or even password + MFA on a centralized service, say Gmail. There, Google and/or the court systems step in, ascertain the legitimate owner, reset the credentials to the account, and give only the legitimate owner access.

There is no way to do this in Bitcoin, by design. Even if the US Supreme Court decided that you are the only legitimate owner of this wallet, there would be no way to prevent someone else who knows the private key from moving "your" Bitcoin. Of course, they could be punished for this, in principle, but it would be impossible to prevent it from happening.

It looks like the top 11 delegates control around 40% of the vote[1], so nearly effective control. That does seem like a small group, but if a delegate was acting maliciously, I'd expect a number of their holders to change delegation.

There were DARPA-funded projects back in 2004 to try to avoid doing it like this, while it was being built. They were funding investigations into assembling the satellite on orbit, e.g. send up the segments one at a time and dock them together on orbit. Those projects were cancelled in W. Bush's second term after he pushed for manned missions again. To this day, I still think in space assembly would have been cheaper and possibly lower risk.

God no. constantly repeating the same thing over and over, looking for someone else's failures.
It is. I hate getting my car repaired. Now that I work from home, if I didn't already own a car, I very well might not buy one.
This is being done because of that.

Google does not want to lose the PC market. Amazon will get it, if there is no Google alternative.
Why does it costs more?
- cars will certainly soon have the state's "black box" in them

- Your ID card already has RFID, and it will only get more powerful

- credit, payment, banking, passports, air travel ... all getting centralized.

- Go ahead and fallback to paper, that just means the paper is entered into a computer when you hand it in and they "review" it. What will probably happen is that the all-paper route will become FAR MORE ONEROUS will submitting to facial recognition, DNA samples, and the like to back-verify your identity, higher fees, wait times, until you submit to practical day-to-day needing a on-body computer device like a phone.

- all democracies know laziness is the key to functionally subverting rights, it's only going to get worse.

- even if you don't submit, all they people you know WILL, and the government can track you by tracking the people you know. So I guess, no friends for you.

Now, for every place I said government, cross that out and put in "multinational corporation that is a monopoly or cartel in all its markets"... and it's all there, turnkey, same policies, but even less legal / constitutional protection.
I just pushed back on a unsupported statement, not sure where you got "hell-hole" from. God forbid we admit America isn't the greatest country on earth in everything.
I used it for years for writing a daily journal. I'd press a shortkey such as Alt+D and I'd get an entry for the day and write. Simple useful tool with an awesome author.
I've also noticed this. I have covid right now. I'm double vaccinated. I was planning to get my booster shot, but now that I've had covid what's the point. It's not likely to increase my immunity and it comes with risks.

At some point the government will probably change the definition of fully vaccinated to three shots and then I'll be in that unvaccinated group I usually make fun of.

Somebody I know lost their job because they wouldn't get vaccinated (but they'd already had confirmed covid). That seems very unfair.

I'm very angry at the dumbasses who haven't been infected and refuse to get vaccinated, including family of mine who died because of that. But no distinction is being made of those who have natural immunity. Which, as you say, is unscientific.

I feel like partly that's because many people think they had it, but didn't, and partly because it's easier for the government to just tell everyone to get vaccinated.
poaching is a macho crime and there is little "desperate" that I can see in that. From random other information, it seems that high powered automatic rifles are quite common in some populations. How much money does ammunition and service of many hundreds of high powered automatic rifles cost?

My take - markets do not price at all rationally in the wild lands, and human nature is the driver here.
> Another reason is because of tax loss harvesting. To make that work, you have to avoid wash sales. The wash sale rule applies to you and every account you own, taxable, retirement, across brokers, etc. So to make TLH work, the broker needs to have a complete view.

It doesn't really. They like saying that because it shows off their product, but the IRS doesn't know what's in your retirement account and probably no-one has ever gotten in trouble for this. There are robos that don't coordinate it, even.
Pfizer sells a coronavirus treatment.[1] So more cases are good for their bottom line.

In a pure sense don't think so in this case since it's a non-interactive zero-knowledge proof, would love to be wrong about that though. For a more practical approach though get your copy of the unique zero-knowledge proof signed by a trusted source first and that should do. Could be a trusted 3rd party or even a large blockchain. Or just switch to interactive zero-knowledge proofs in the first place.
I think everyone should get vaccinated, but at this point if you aren't...you aren't going to. So, it's a waste. I think it's time to move on from this. It is understandable that people are afraid of getting sick, dying etc., but 2-3 years is a long part of your life. It's ruining lives in more ways than just people getting sick.

I feel bad for people that live in a constant state of fear in states/countries that have been incredibly strict. My state has been more or less the same now, nothing in my life has really changed aside from the price increases and shortages in both goods and labor. I can't travel to many places I want to though because of fear I'll get there, and everything will be locked down. When this first started I was upset with people going out, etc. but as time has marched on, we know enough about the virus in terms of prevention, treatment, and the low chance of serious infection.

I think my opinion is pretty popular among the populace, but it's astounding how it has not been treated as such in the media and government.
Maybe this person's popularity only looks polar to you because you're making things out to have a team L and a team R, whereas it's more like team R is real and hallucinating a bogeyman team L where surely folks worship named figureheads as much as team R.
It's mostly overloaded because there are more patients than usual though. Ask anyone that works in a hospital. Some literally ran out of physical space to put people, despite staffing. Do you think hospitals are faking their physical dimensions in order to get larger budgets?
Definitely agree with the trend risks. The question is how to reverse it?
Using ZIM on a daily basis for more than 10 years. I use some of it's features more often than others:

- check lists as todo lists

- daily log

- drafting slides for presentations (using export to Presentation option and S5 option)

Primary way of syncing to other devices - shared nextcloud folder.

Pro: plain text files - can be edited by any available text editor in case I want to edit notes on an unsupported devices.

Cons: I don't like when it automatically creates notes for all phrases written in CamelCase. It is a wiki, but i don't use it as a true wiki, but as a bunch of notes.
While this is a valid point, there are some ways to deal with it.

For example on reddit, if you go to the profile of an user and downvote every post, it does not count the downvotes. You would have to open up the post and then downvote. (We could probably also detect if it is a "natural" visit or not) So you can make the process very time consuming at least. Sure there are bots but these can also be detected.

So yes, it can never be fully stopped but on the other hand you can do similar manipulation without downvotes so I feel it is more of an parallel issue. You can still have a group voting each others posts up or straight up buy votes.
Ask HN: Why do companies issue crappy machines to developers?
Companies are willing to pay big money to developers, however they issue crappy laptops as development machines. Laptops are designed for mobility, not for performance. Sure, you can use a dock and plug a keyboard and external monitor(s), but a Core i5 laptop with 16GB of ram running at 1.6GHz won't cut it as a dev machine. I would imagine that companies would want to provide the best tools for their developers so that they can be happy and productive. What is the rationale for companies to do this kind of short-sighted thing?
That's good advice. I'll set up an appointment.
I kinda like this idea, although I'm unlikely to implement it (at least in the near future). A question though.

Where would you propose keeping the information for UID 0?
I too have the WF-1000XM4 and I only have the function to turn off the notification & voice guide that will stop making the sound that tells me what mode it is in. But it will happily scream in my ear that its either connected, almost empty or on / off.
Regarding the bugs I experience on a regular basis:
- Every off week the Speak-to-chat is somehow activated and than it drops me out of the music with the sound amplified.
- The standby function does no longer work since a month or two and I find it empty every time I forget to either manually turn it off or put it in the charger
- The multi device is so odd that I need to disconnect all devices in the surrounding and start connecting one by one
- The dual bluetooth sometimes struggle to work with both Windows and Mac.
- The connection with Windows was something I actually needed to Google as I couldnt get the quality to work, I somehow had to read somewhere that I needed to wait for ±1min till the actual device pops up in the list (Its registered as two seperate devices) but for this I actually blame Windows
- Teams often refuses to play with the main device, but rather prefers the crappy audio system one.

To finish off and it's not a bug, but the microphone they advertise is so laughably bad that roughly 80% of the people couldnt hear me properly on the other end of the line. But reading the reviews I find myself one of the few in this situation.
I should probably update that post. I took it down because of some issues with my hosting and then never really got around to bringing it back up. at the time, it only had about 20-30 items though.

I can tell you the export to HTML functionality is solid, but for something like a wiki you really need searchability which as far as I know zim templates do not provide. The available templates are also not responsive other than maybe the eight-five-zero theme that i modified for my site.
I didn't realize there were so many eccentrics on HN, or is there a campaign?

It makes sense to talk about verdicts when comparing cases, as is the context here.

"X was convicted for doing Y, but Z was not convicted for doing >>Y" is an interesting comparison, even if (or especially if) X later won an appeal.

As someone who live in Quebec this make sense to me and apparently the vast majority of the population. There is more opposition to vaccine mandate to access retail store than taxing the unvaccinated.

I don't think anybody would be surprise to hear that smokers pay a tobacco surcharge for their health insurance in the US.

High pressure from covid patient is causing healthcare system cost to skyrocket. You have the 10% of unvaccinated who are causing for 45% of that load increase.

In a system with universal healthcare system, where everyone pay for the system with taxation, surcharge have to happen with taxes. If a few decide to get vaccinated great but I don't think it's the point. Honestly, they haven't announced the specific but I doubt the tax will be high enough to account for the real healthcare cost of population vaccinated.
> no restrictions for vaccinated individuals

We're talking about natural immunity
it's just sad, that the clouds make this so complicated. they could easily publish data per month how much something costs in a json or xml file format. but it seems to much to be of an advantage not to publish cloud costs.
Oh, now I understand.
This opens up the opportunity for some kind of distributed file submission tool where you can compare hashes of segments of your document with everyone else's documents in some kind of zero-knowledge way, so that no actual piracy happens until enough people submit their document information for the system to create a de-DRMed copy of the document.
I don't dispute the underperfomers are the typical case. But I've seen plenty of glaring exceptions. The point is: things aren't always what they seem. And we can't automatically assume that the people who make these decisions are making the right decisions, or even know what's happening under their noses.

BTW if they put the guy on PIP then that basically means they were in the process of firing him already. So if they called it a "layoff" that was for cosmetic purposes.
I see. Well, YMMV but you could try a different type of cable. There are cables not using metal wires that you bend around the ears, but the same thin flexible cable throughout the entire length. I have not had problems with one in more than a couple of years of use.
Well, no, which is why we don't mandate vaccines against viruses which don't cause once-in-a-century pandemics. But that's separate from what I wanted to respond to, which was the false equivalence between seatbelts/helmets and vaccines.
Interesting, reminds me of the student loan debt bubble.
Plenty of sites I use daily have nice features and reliability and while they aren't all perfect -- they help me do my job, learn and communicate. It's pointless to go down the rabbit-hole of identifying which sites I find useful or interesting with those that I don't enjoy using. Opinions will vary, but my point is that it's not in any way helpful to make generalizations about the "modern web" hating users. The "modern web" is a meaningless term that (in the OPs question) seems to define as the definition of "modern web". These two sites do not represent all modern websites in any way, they are mainstream content driven apps with the end goal of monetization, eyeballs, and user persona profiling. How are nitter or teddit not also the modern web?
Hospitals are overwhelmed by people who are vaccinated, have mild or even asymptomatic covid, and are certain they are going to die.

I'm sure there's plenty of actual sick people too. But we need a serious change to our messaging.
The cost cutting for some of my local music stations has achieved new lows. I'm pretty sure a DJ (can you even call them that at this point?) records a series of 5-10 second clips that are randomly mixed throughout an oft-repeated playlist. An entire station could probably be run from somebody's laptop with a bunch of voice clips and a Spotify account.
> newer consoles feature operating systems that are highly compatible with Microsoft's desktop operating systems, allowing for shared applications and ease-of-development between personal computers and the Xbox line

Microsoft created its Universal Windows Platform (UWP) to enable software to run across multiple Windows devices from desktops to tablets to consoles. It has not really been a resounding success, though it has some inconvenient limitations as well as business restrictions such as being tied to the Windows Store.

Even the Windows Store has moved away from UWP by supporting Win32 apps.
This is great and is remarkably similar to a project that I have been working on :-) Instead of using a bookmarklet, I am extracting URLs from the Reading List feature of Safari. I realized hat I had collected over a thousand links in my reading list and it was getting difficult to manage this manually. One nice thing about working with the reading list is that it is shared between iPhones, iPads and Macs if they are all signed into the same Apple ID.
i don't know if it's limitations of the bluetooth protocol, or necessary optimizations in order to maintain battery life, but in my experience most battery operated bluetooth devices seem to have pairing issues.

i suspect that it's probably a combination of three things:

1) reliability is hard when on a power budget. if power was free, they'd just always be looking to renegotiate, but since power is limited, they probably are very miserly about this process which leads to getting stuck in states that require power cycling to force retries.

2) interoperability is hard with open standards, especially old standards that are complicated.

3) open standards come with limitations that sometimes cannot be worked around. (this is where i'm surprised apple hasn't just cheated as they usually do when open standards result in ux they find unacceptable, this leads me to believe the problem itself, of distributed consensus between multiple wireless low power devices with potentially noisy links, is actually very hard)

when you think about it, the technology behind wireless earbuds is nothing short of astounding. they're little battery operated wireless two node compute clusters that can literally fit in your ears, stream audio and maintain nearly perfect synchronization when rendering that audio in the most absolute basic use case.
Sorry, the gist of the question I thought was "is this not useful, _because_ it is based on a stablecoin?". I answered that question.

If you're asking what in general the Diem code, used in the 0L project, is useful for : 1. well it's technically a BFT blockchain, like Tendermint. That tech is potentially useful because it can provide a decentralized ledger like a PoW blockchain, but with significantly higher throughput and significantly lower energy use. It's arguably more advanced than Tendermint because it's written in Rust and has a native smart contract VM (move language). and perhaps 2. it's a collaborative project -- there's no sponsoring company or foundation or fund raising with a token and what not. This is attractive to some for various reasons. Bitcoin had that property and some people are interested in blockchains with new tech that share that organizational aspect.

Let me know if that doesn't adequately answer the question.
How many times do you typically get hospitalized per year?
"The council also voted to require gun owners to pay an estimated $25 fee, which would be collected by a yet-to-be-named nonprofit and doled out to community groups to be used for firearm safety education and training, suicide prevention and domestic violence and mental health services."

I find these government-NGO partnerships disturbing. The government mandates a tax, but a private entity collects it and decides who spends it? Elected officials really like to avoid responsibility for the consequences of their votes.
I've tried a lot of note taking apps and Workflowy[0] has been my favorite for the last ~5 years.

At its core it's a bulleted list that you can expand and collapse. Super simple and works just as well for quick ToDo lists as for in-depth ideation and project tracking. Recently they've added features such as tags and boards, which I mostly ignore, but the core product is super simple, powerful, and flexible. 100% free and with good web, mobile, and desktop apps.

The problem isn't Gemini, the problem is Gemini marketing.

Gemini enthusiasts (or, at least the ones I've seen posts from, most notably ddevault) market Gemini as a replacement (edit: in whole or part, it doesn't matter, the argument is the same) for "the web".

Then, when you point out that Gemini has basically none of the features of "the web" (and is incapable of supporting the vast majority of its content, and even the vast majority of its good content), they then say that "oh, you don't need those features, inline images are an anti-pattern!" Or something.

The problem isn't that Gemini has no features, the problem is that it's being marketed as a replacement (edit: in whole or in non-trivial part, it doesn't matter) for the web, which is it clearly unsuited for.

Gemini is bad at conveying almost any content except text, which also means that it's unsuitable for scientific papers, education, browser games, social media (even for less "social" social media, like Reddit and HN, where you could be exchanging purely technical information), web services, web applications (disclaimer: I think that web applications are generally slow and dumb, but I'd much rather use HN from my browser than download a dedicated .deb just for it), wikis and encyclopedias, Stack Overflow, search engines, and various other web things that your life would be significantly less great without.

So, by all means, use Gemini. Just don't say that it's a "replacement" for the web (edit: not even part of it - Gemini does so little that the comparison is entirely invalid), or "better" than the web (or associated technology). It is its own thing with its own community that is entirely complementary to the web, and nothing more.

If you want to go back to the internet dark ages without Wikipedia, Google, Stack Overflow, Compiler Explorer, and Shadertoy, have fun - just don't drag me down with you.
