On the other hand, the most popular (?) stablecoin, Tether (USDT) doesn’t have a one-to-one relationship with USD deposits, and the amount it really has in USD is believed to be very low (I don’t know the numbers, but have read that there haven’t been any audits or published audits).

I don't see it working out well for Apple to become the USB charger and cord enforcer for the world.

If this is a counterfeit Apple charger, then yes. If this is a charger that was purchased from Apple as the distributor, then yes.

However, if this was a 3rd party charger purchased from a street vendor or online merchant (that has difficulties with counterfeit products) that could be used for anything from the cat water fountain pump to an Apple iPhone - then no.
In the past, I've thought of bitcoin as worthless hype but the persistence is impressive. I mean bitcoin just doesn't represent anything and can't be used much, it can just go out in flames and nobody would step up to help those poor crypto-holders. But thinking about other things like gold. Nobody uses gold to pay and while it's used as a resources, people who invest in gold just trust gold to be valuable. Maybe crypto is like gold, it passed the critical mass of people thinking it's valuable and now it stays valuable. It will go up, it will go down, like gold. You don't buy gold to use it, it's just to park some money in something you trust.

Curious that they needed to fork their messengers and servers rather than apply a custom policy layer to instruct Matrix to disable federation and restrict registration/room creation. I can see why the fork was necessary, but perhaps the folks over at Matrix might use this as inspiration for management features that some institutions clearly require.

The only difference in investing in currency than other asset classes is that the value of currencies is entirely relative to other currencies in ways other asset classes aren’t.

In practice that doesn’t make a difference because all the mechanics are the same as any other form of investment decision.
At first I couldn't find the song that I'd like to find the similar songs such as Beautiful Girl by Hose Marichan, Bad Day by Daniel Powter.

Then I found a song with correct album art and title, but when I play it, it's a different song played out, I try to look up Sway by Bic Runga.

But finally I strike gold with More Than Words by Extreme, although I couldn't find the exact song, just a cover is enough to bring tons of very similar songs.

There might be some things still need to be ironed out, but overall I love this service, the ability to find similar songs to your favorite song is invaluable :)
This is kind of a broken analogy, since we do usually know that an out-of-bounds memory access is definitely an undesirable thing, but how do you know idle CPU activity is an undesirable thing ?

In fact, the entire complain is because suspending background processes _is_ annoying, and may even lead to data loss.

To put it in another way:

> forcing by default to segfault on every memory access outside of process bounds which is a real annoyance.

Is forcing to segfault a real annoyance ? Can you show me an example of where it is an annoyance ? Do you prefer to let processes continue accessing obviously undefined memory and/or corrupting the memory of other processes or the system ?

On the other hand, suspending a process on idle is an annoyance:

* If it was a service, you've just caused a Denial of Service attack.

* If it was a timer/cron/alarm of some sort, you've just caused it to miss important events -- the user will arrive late to their meeting.

* If it is a client, it suddenly stopped talking to its server, with unknown consequences.

* If it was even a simple editor that is just saving the user document as a background task, you've lost user data.
Since C++17, compilers are now required to elide copies and use RVO: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/copy_elision

There are probably exceptions and loopholes just like with literally everything in C++, but there's this line:

> Return value optimization is mandatory and no longer considered as copy elision; see above.
At the risk of this discussion devolving into a flamewar, I would just encourage you to do your own research about this situation.

Regardless of all other arguments about location-based pay, Google et al have been paying their temporarily-remote employees 100% of their salary up until now.

These companies would need to spend lots of resources to legally navigate pay cuts to already-agreed-upon contracts.

And they would also have to weigh the risk of those employees leaving for better pay elsewhere.
It's also worth noting that BTC is virtually even (down 1.6%) to where it was 6 months ago.
I have no idea how operating systems work, but at a wild guess. If you're running the OS off the same disk thats threashing the io, and, its queued too many read/write operations to handle the reads for the OS? And maybe FreeBSD is just so small it effectively caches itself into memory and doesn't need the IO so it appears to function still?

Curious to know the reason.
Have you read the article?

The author explicitly defines what the question is (and how the question of irratonality of numbers is resolved there).

As a matter of fact they explicitly mention that the algorithm in question only requires polynomial memory space to compare N sums of roots of arbitrary numbers.
How does Guix compare to Nix? It seems like by using a scheme-based DSL instead of an ad-hoc configuration language, it solves one of the main complaints the author has about Nix.

I started to - I went to law school with the intent of switching, and ultimately cut that short to go back to tech. I just didn't enjoy working with attorneys. I'm sure some people do, so my rejection of that industry should be taken with a grain of salt... but I'd take time to get to know who your professional community would be before committing to such a change.
Same here, tried NixOS for ~3 months, I tried to go all-in too, I spend time to really read the docs and work out an intricate configuration that leverages features like flakes and covers my system setup and dotfiles (got inspired by Lissners NixOS configuration) and was ready to handle multiple systems in preparation to roll it out to my 2nd and 3rd machine.

Ultimately there were warts that I was able to solve, but still annoyed me greatly and felt ugly and forced me to step outside the convience of my nixos config system (like wifi with iwd, btrfs + swap files) and at one point I was no longer able to `nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade`, the command kept failing even on versions of my config that I was able to confirm working, I spent some time trying to find the problem but eventually came to the conclusion that it might not be worth it in the long run.

In the end I went back to my previous distribution of choice. I still find the whole concept interesting and I will give Guix a try next.

Fixing NixOS problems that the community hasn't encountered or solved yet really fills me with a special kind of dread compared to regular distributions where finding a solution to a rare problem is usually just a mix of taking a look at upstream and writing a patch or adapting general solutions from other distributions.
I agree.

Nothing there seems to deliver explicit customer value when switching to FreeBSD.

How will switching help you deliver your service? Or is it just a "nice to have thing"?
I was also disappointed by this overly simplistic and cheerful view.

Async communication, like most things, isn't equally well-suited to all scenarios (never mind people).

I worked in a primarily async environment and while I, as an individual, like many aspects of this manner of work it is sometimes a terribly inefficient way to get things done. In some instances a meeting with a handful of people can save you weeks of back and forth on Slack, each time with a bunch of context switching.
Since C++17 I believe this is guaranteed.
I hear people always complaining about 'needless' changes like systemd over init. But I sure like how my modern database servers reboot in less than 30 seconds, vs 5-12 minutes when they were running RHEL 5. (yes, some of that is because we moved from BIOS to UEFI)
Rejoice, Lenovo is introducing a ThinkPad that finally lets them scrap this excellent setup for a mainstream rectangular keyboard: Z13 and Z16. Doubly sad because those look like a kick-ass AMD Ryzen implementation otherwise. Trippy sad because they also found a way to get rid of the physical TrackPoint buttons and still call it a ThinkPad.

The writing is on the wall, just wait for Lenovo to finally extinguish their ugly step-child of asymmetry and deprive us of the last good arrow key layout left in portable laptops.

The predicates < and > are strictly semidecidable, meaning that if two real numbers are equal to each other, then no algorithm is guaranteed to terminate. The complexity is thus RE, which is worse than PSPACE.

But the real numbers which show up in the sum-of-square-roots problem are from being as general as possible, so the complexity is PSPACE at worst.

The foundations needed to understand general real number computation are listed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30057794
The US equity market is behaving predictably. Assets were overvalued per their fundamentals and Fed actions are being taken to cool them off. A correction was widely predicted as is the eventual recovery. Crypto is meant to be immune to these effects yet it had an even more dramatic reaction than traditional equities. And while it's recovery seems likely there's still no fundamentals on which you can hang your hat and say what will drive it. It could keep dropping, it could stay flat, it could hit $100k and there's nothing you can point to as evidence it will do any of those.

> A Google employee interviewed by Reuters commutes two hours each way to the company's Seattle office. That employee was considering switching to remote work permanently when the company reopens its offices in October. But then the employee looked at the location-based pay calculator and realized the switch to full-time remote work would mean a 10 percent pay cut--in effect, rescinding the raise that came with this person's most recent promotion. "I didn't do all that hard work to get promoted to then take a pay cut," the employee told Reuters.

This is absolutely insane. A 10% pay cut is absolutely worth 4 hours of your day back everyday and this person is completely irrational.

We have many political reasons for housing to be blowing up.

1. Inflation is very real and real yields on mortgages are negative. Basically free money is being printed by politicians.

2. Number of construction workers are in decline. Which means we are reducing our ability to construction homes. This is heavily due to politician decisions. In 2010 women only are 9% of those in construction and when women do work in construction they hold a sign.

3. Politicians are making decisions that also restrict or reduce housing construction. In way too many ways, many listed in article.

4. Politicians are allowing in very significant numbers of immigrants who need a place to sleep. telew

5. Politicians have done nothing to restrict things like airbnb and other investment strategies.

6. Politicians have under invested their generation expecting to indebt the next generation for their retirement. Which is actively not working because of inflation.

The entire housing situation has been crafted by politicians intentionally.
Thank goodness criminal computer activity didn't exist before cryptocurrency--had me worried. But once we get rid of cryptocurrency (soon), those problems are solved thankfully.

Excel for me. Add the known expenses and income from the past couple months, have a separate column for the yearly cost of less frequent things (quarterly or annual bills, etc). Works well for me and is pretty accurate. It's really not much paperwork once it's set up - just adjust the amounts or add a new row.

I think the real question is, what are you expecting to get out of it?

All it will really do is show you how much income you have and where the income is going. It can help you hit a savings goal or cut costs to know how much is left after expenses or what your biggest expenses are. The action of actually using that information is up to you.
I drive a 2019 Toyota Plug-in Prius. This past summer I was getting about 30 miles of electric range. This morning, it was down to 23 miles.

In my case, running out of electric range isn't catastrophic, since it automatically switches to gas when the battery is out. The difference in acceleration performance between gas and electric modes is noticeable. After all, it's a Prius so I'm not winning any drag races, but in electric mode it is very responsive.

I'm pretty happy about this car, I feel like I'm getting the best of both worlds. The majority of my driving is electric, without the range anxiety. If my daily commute were longer (mine is about 12 miles each way), that might tip the balance into driving full electric with a longer range or just falling back to gas entirely.

I'd say Ponzi-scheme is a justified classification, since returns are funded by new entrants or additional purchases, instead of the asset producing value itself like a company stock or a house.

Even something like gold with no value production - whose price is quite stable because of that by the way - has value because people want it for jewellery and industry.
> Tough love: if you are currently making needed payments out of an account invested primarily in volatile assets, you have invested it incorrectly. More likely you left the 529 money in stocks because it's a tax shelter, not because you were actually setting that money aside for tuition.

Not exactly, so I'm not down 9% in my 529. I set target dates and my financial institution has shifted them to more stable assets based on that. I just checked and it's only 19% stocks.

As an aside, using a 529 for a tax shelter wouldn't work very well because of the penalties incurred if it is not used for education. 100% of the funds I have saved here are for tuition purposes -- I started doing this years before we had children.
Exactly, and is a little ironic because when it really does go on sale, people become afraid to buy meanwhile deep pockets accumulate.
I deposited most of it in a binance savings account. Left some in my mobile wallet. Unfortunately I had to cash it out in order to spend it. Wish I didn't have to but nothing else accepted it.

This isn’t a crash in historical terms. It’s simply repeating previous patterns. If we do have a true crash that wipes out most of the stored value and takes a decade to recover, like the dot-com crash, the effect on tech sector wealth in particular will be profound.

Right now, this is just the usual ebb and flow.

What I think is interesting about crypto is that it has the potential to go to zero because it has zero intrinsic value, unlike for example dot-com stocks, many of which had some value in the form of cashflow.

The two most likely scenarios that could cause a crash to zero, in my mind, are an unrecoverable vulnerability in a blockchain, or a brutal and global regulatory clampdown. The latter may not cause a crash to zero if some underground activity remains.

The probability of the globe simply falling out of love and discarding this new value store like a wilting tulip is unlikely in my opinion.
