1 and 2 are interesting but I have some doubts about the feasibility in my region. It is already quite hard to find people interested in automation with Home Assistant, so having someone who would be willing to understand the setup and scripts of someone else would be really tricky.

3 could have been a solution but my kids are not interested in development (if they would, it would have been my first solution)
It is truly mind-boggling to me that funds can just effectively vanish in the system with no sense of recourse. And that no one thought this could go awry
What is your opinion on cloth masks and has that been your opinion throughout the pandemic? If not, why did it change and why was it different previously?

Look, I hate cryptocurrency as much as the average HN commenter, but I think at this point it should painfully clear that there is plenty of liquidity in crypto.

$500K in ETH is really not that much anymore.
This is the kind of information you shouldn't post online, especially when it can be traced to your real identity.
I actually had this formatter thing happen at work. We have code that generates more python code. Now the quotes are changed and we need escapes because a rule it being applied. Escapes are harder to read and look messier.
Yeah, tubes are complicated by the fact that one tube size fits more than one tire size, plus there are two different kinds of valve stems, and some contemporary wheels need extra long stems.

One favor you can do yourself is to start patching your tubes if you're not already doing so.
assets will not go up every year, year over year, but I'm fairly comfortable in the fact that assets will go up over a 30 year period.

why do I think this? because the individuals and groups that control the financial market created it in such a way that they can make money from it. they make a lot more than me, but I can still hitch my cart to their engine and go along for the ride.

barring some huge financial collapse of global proportions, the likes that have never been seen except for maybe the bronze age collapse, or fall of the western Roman empire, I'm comfortable knowing that the assets I purchase today will be worth more in the far horizon (even adjusting for inflation) that they are today.
The one who has the private keys to that account could give them the ETH back, yeah. But if no one has the private keys, they can not get it back, that would defeat the entire point of cryptocurrencies in the first place.

In this case, not really. User was calling a "ROM"

What you describe are dry runs.
Considering that the Big Dig was financed on super low interest rates - my understanding mostly in ~2000-2004 dollars (which have turned into $0.5 or less and are headed lower) - it really wasn't THAT bad of a deal.

It'll cost ~$21Bn total with financing - but that goes until 2038: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.boston.com/uncategorized/no...

That comes out to ~$500M a year - which sounds absurd - but that pretty massively benefits ~500k+ people per year. That's ~$1000 per person per year - which still sounds absurd - until you factor in that half of that will be paid in $0.5 and a quarter of that might be paid in $0.25 or less.

And then when you factor in that that monstrous highway is gone forever, and Boston will likely be around much longer than another ~20 years - it honestly doesn't sound like a bad deal.

NYC's second avenue subway - at ~$3Bn per stop - if each stop increases ridership by ~30k people - which generates ~$48M per year in revenue, which is theoretically ~30% less than the ongoing maintenance cost (https://media4.manhattan-institute.org/sites/default/files/f...) - is pretty similar.

IIUC - currently MTA runs at loss of about $7 per month per resident. That seems like an absolute bargain even for people who don't take the train. The reduction in traffic and cars should be worth way more than that to most people in NYC.
Since you’re implementing this anew anyway, it’s worth exploring STAR voting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STAR_voting

It has two major advantages: respondents can express how much more or less they like different candidates, and respondents can rate two candidates equally (or can rate them differently).

This enables it to do a better job determining the respondents’ preferences: http://electionscience.github.io/vse-sim/VSE/

In a municipal election, STAR has implementation downsides (lack of existing use, new ballots, voting software recertification, etc.), but those don’t really apply to your situation: you’re implementing it anew, everyone has used a 5-star rating system, and nobody has a preconceived notion of how your interface should work. Might as well optimize for the more representative result for the least respondent effort. (A simpler system called approval voting delivers almost all of the utility that STAR does for less effort, but since you’re implementing it yourself and aren’t subject to existing constraints, you may as well use STAR. They’re both much easier to tabulate than ranking.)
That’s the going price.

I used to use Replicolor in Salt Lake City and I’ve used photoworks in SF. Both are quality places and cost about the same.

You could save some money buy buying your own scanner ($500 for something high-ish quality, probably 250 used.
Cryptocurrencies use mnemonic phrases as a master key for a wallet. All the private keys are generated deterministically from the master key. BIP-39 mnemonic phrase is a list of 12 or 24 words. It is quite easy to write down on a piece of paper or metal, and/or memorize. Offline hardware wallet is usually used to securely generate and use the key for signing transactions.
Same. That top reddit comment that crypto is not ready yet is absolutely right. This feels like a small bu2ow er trting to digitalize their whole operation on 1978 micro computers and getting burned for it.
No. These kids were schooled but pressed into working at the factory, they didn't drop out. They don't do it for the money, and it is possible that neither them nor their families receive any compensation. The alternative would have been doing homework at home or playing, not the kinds of "jobs" that you've mentioned, at least not in this particular case.

Such a practice is/was actually quite common in (ex)communist countries specially for seasonal work when regular workers weren't enough, like during the cotton harvest in Uzbekistan, and was also organized by the teachers. Shocking for us but culturally acceptable out there.

This is just a modern version, a stopgap for labour shortage, that happened to make it to the papers only because a western company was involved.
I try to assume good faith but at this point the fact you're still equating the internet and the web, not acknowledging the drastic advantages blockchain had in 2009 vs 1989/1993, etc is extremely suspect. The web was created at CERN and they have an exact date for what they consider to be the birth of the web: April 30, 1993 [1]. When it comes to the web I'm going to continue to use their date.

For kicks let's go with your date of 1989. 13 years later in 2002 the internet/web had 587 million users [2]. Anything blockchain related has 100 million.

I can't understand how even without your understanding the difference between the web and the internet, my being generous and using your (wrong) date, and yet the internet still growing at well over 5x the rate of blockchain helps your argument at all. I don't believe your ability to understand this is the result of stupidity or ignorance - I think it's the kind of blindness and rationalization that can be brought on by faith and greed/financial self interest.

In all seriousness and with the utmost respect - how much crypto do you hold?

I think you can do just that with ganache-cli.

I haven‘t tried it, because I don‘t do much crypto stuff at all, but I thought this specific functionality, to dry-run any scenario, from any account, was very intriguing.
Mildly ironic and also a clever way to repurpose existing infrastructure and training

So, there are a few reasons it isn't fair to compare to std::sort.

The C++ standard requires that std::sort work for "move-only types", so you can't copy the pivot. I suspect this is where quite a bit of the slowdown happens -- as the pivot has to be taken by reference/pointer, the compiler optimises worse.

Could std::sort implementations optimise for when the pivot can be copied? Certainly! Particularly when it is a "small value" like this. I worked on this years ago for libstdc++ (g++'s std::sort), but it turned out to make the code really horrible, so it was never merged in.

std::sort implementations already use an alternative sort (usually insertion sort) for small sized lists.
> Why would you ever want to “shred the check”?

You don't, and it's not what technically happens, but it's the closest I could find as the actual behaviour can not be replicated in the real world.

The actual behaviour, at least in my understanding, is that the bank check goes in a box to which only the ATM has access, but the ATM was never coded to look for bank checks in the box, and it's not possible to update it, so it's not possible to get the bank checks out of the box.

In the real world you could take the box out and force it open, but in "the blockchain" the contract has sole control of the wallet, an updated version of the contract would be a different contract with a different address.

> Is this the intended functionality or a bug?

It is, in the broadest sense, a bug: the contract was not coded to handle anything other than ETH inputs, so it ignores everything else, but the other things were still moved into the box.
Right, it's completely fine. You'd have to be an oracle to write software that never rots at all. I'm not criticising anyone who has written or signed off on adding code to any standard library that was later deprecated.

However, in hindsight it was the right call to not add some libraries to Rust's standard library. In some cases, they turned out to be dead ends (rustc_serialize) or needed a lot more time to bake (rand).
If you’re in Portland, try Citizen Photo. I don’t know if they’re still around because I bailed when the tech companies moved to town and caused a rent surge. I know Citizen Photo moved at the same time, I think to somewhere on Sandy Blvd. I miss those guys.

$15-20 is about right for develop + scan costs these days.

You can try to save some money by having the lab develop only, then scan yourself. Though, in my experience scanning takes up an entire afternoon so the extra $8 for those Noritsu scans is worth it.

If you're open to mailing film, it looks Citizens Photo in Portland is the least expensive: https://lenslurker.com/film-developing-by-mail/
You're probably OK as 700x32 is a fairly common designation. The ETRTO for that tire is 32-622.
Counterpoint: maintaining an entire language is really hard and time-consuming. If you increase the surface area to a large stdlib, you're suddenly requiring core maintainers to spend a lot of time debugging libraries just to release a language version.

Also consider that PHP, which has an astonishingly huge stdlib, still has native classes that handle SOAP requests that must be maintained for backwards compatibility.
Tolerance is not a weakness, what you're referring to is an inept government and broken society. A strong culture and society has no issue with creating reasonable rules to live by that work for the majority of people.

Misinformation is an artifact of our decaying society, so what exactly is the "paradox" here? The paradox of suppressing discussion that tries to deal with societal rot? To what end? Why not actually fix the problem?

This problem should be easy to solve, but isn't because someone is getting in the way.
I’ve never thought about that but yeah you’re right, that’s cool. I’m not a fan of Go’s imports either but this makes it make a little more sense to me.
There are hundreds of people who know C++, live on the west coast and talk like a pompous idiot. Elon Musk is one candidate of hundreds.

You should do some statistics research and realize that just because one celebrity matches your description doesn't mean that they're the sole candidate for your search. I'd argue that you're acting pretty clueless here, especially since Elon himself has denied creation of the spec. Without any further evidence, you'd need something utterly damning to make people believe you. There are real ways that you can prove that you built Bitcoin; you can step forward with keys to the wallet with the genesis block or you can render passwords to any of the accounts Satoshi used online. Not only has Elon Musk done neither of those things, he's outright told people that he didn't build it when there was every incentive in the world to acknowledge himself as Satoshi.

If anything, I can see why all these Bitcoin accusers never got anywhere as SpaceX employees. Rocket science doesn't make progress with guesswork...
Wow who peed in your coffee?

The parent said they were interested in alternative coordination mechanisms. I pointed them to where to find more and how to approach it. This is how curiosity works. I'm not selling any "light". There's little glimmers spread across lots of projects, even the ones that completely fail or grapple with seemingly small issues.

ENS just turned the management of 300,000+ name service records over to a DAO. Now they are grappling with how to update registration prices when domains expire. They have a delegate and voting system for decision making. Registration on expiry prices for ENS itself is pretty boring so reading more about this is likely only interesting to someone curious about alternative coordination mechanisms.

Is it still uncool to like both? The Atari ST had objectively worse game graphics and sound, but it was better than the Amiga for things like MIDI and DTP.
So I guess, when it comes down to the wire, what wins out, the needs of real users, or the documented description of a protocol?

The fact that said protocol is incapable of addressing real needs is a failure state, and historically this has been addressed by building better tooling on top of the protocol, or replacing it wholesale.
AFAIK it's the same in the US (the US mint is in charge of both producing and destroying money), because treasuries want to keep track of the physical money supply.
Obviously, my comment applies to people wishing to do transfers via cryptocurrencies, for one or another reason. Sometimes it's not possible to do transfers via the traditional financial system, or desirable. My comment was written for those who wish to use it, but want to make sure it gets right.
> Actually it pretty much is, or at least is limited to the area of "force".

Fortunately Neil Young lacks the power to enforce his view, but make no doubt, his view is censorship.
There is no association between two artists* because they are both on spotify. It's an open platform meant to have essentially everything available.

That is a far cry from performing at the same event or socializing in the same room. I would 100% support Young if that was what he was objecting to.

But Young's situation is more like refusing to play on a university that doesn't shun someone he thinks is wrong. That's censorship.

*(not sure I'd call Rogan that but for lack of a better word)
Exactly.

Excel occupies that magical space where the users aren’t really thinking about coding, they are thinking about solving their business problems (and don’t even realize they are coding)
What if you start building your own distribution for privacy-related content? Start a Substack focused on this space.
> I don't think Python is a good beginners language anymore with all its complexity

It's not like the simpler parts of the language have gone away in recent versions. You can still program in python like it's 2.7.

Just as you can still program in C++ using C paradigms.
Distribution matters because it triggers legal consequences--you need a license to distribute. The FSF can't rewrite the law. So they can't say "doing X is distribution" and then claim that doing X requires a license.

So whether the FSF calls something distribution in their own FAQ is irrelevant, unless the FSF is your lawyer and giving you legal advice.
What's funny is that serde pretty much dominates the serialisation space in Rust. It's as close to a de facto standard as possible. I would bet decent money that it remains the top lib in 5 years time.

But your point stands - in an ideal world it would be nice if there was one obvious way to do it, and that obvious way was in the standard library.
I usually at least make a decent attempt at resolving these types of conflicts before reporting to AMEX. Even though AMEX's chargeback process is probably the best of the credit card companies I've used, it's still not as ideal as simply getting the refund from the merchant, if possible.

Oddly enough, I've NEVER had this issue with DoorDash. I think DoorDash simply makes restaurants unavailable if they don't have drivers, whereas UberEats ALWAYS takes the order and then simply doesn't fulfill it if they can't. What you say about "preparing your order" is 100% correct. There isn't a "waiting for driver" status, so if there is no driver on the way, it stays at "preparing..."

This is a particularly terrible customer experience since you almost always time your deliveries so you eat them right when they get there and you are hungry when they arrive. By the time you realize Uber is not going to bother fulfilling your order, you've already probably been waiting 30 minutes, cannot cancel then without being charged, and have to start making other plans for food as you get hangrier and hangrier. It's even worse when you're getting food for the whole family delivered and have to deal with hangry kids!
> Don't interact with contracts directly unless you 100% know what you're doing.

But if you use any of the exchanges you described, you have to trust that they 100% know what they're doing.

It seems safer to avoid smart contracts and cryptocurrencies altogether.
No. And it's not censorship if Spotify doesn't renew Rogan for exclusivity either.

But blacklisting people for political beliefs is quintessential censorship. Can't believe that has to be said.

Young is asking for him to be banned from Spotify.
But that's not the standard to which solid state storage is tested.

Stack Overflow says [1] they're going to focus on helping companies execute their Employer Branding Strategy [2] through advertising.

This makes sense on one level:

* Employers are paying Stack Overflow, not candidates. Employers are therefore the real customers.

* Employers want to look unique to candidates, not like "just another job posting"

* Employers want to feed candidates into their recruiting pipeline directly, rather than let Stack Overflow manage more steps of the recruitment process.

I would recommend FlorisBoard[1] to anyone looking for an alternative to Google/OEM apps. It is in beta and lacks a bit of polish, but the rate of development is very high and the results already much better than some of the other open source keyboard apps which have stagnated for a long time.

Are you talking about the user from https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/sfz4kw/did_i_just... ? And do you mean "read-only memory"? I'm not sure how that's relevant. The contract they made the transfer to is read-only yes, like any contract on Ethereum. But they could have tested the contract call with a smaller sum before actually performing the bigger one.

Just like the people writing the computer that took us to the moon, I'm pretty sure they tried it before in small-scale simulations before hooking it up to the rocket and letting it go to the moon.
From the time I was about 8 until I was 25 I probably shot 2000 photographs on film.

The first year I had a digital camera I shot over 2000.

I was happy with both, but now that I'm back on film, I'm VERY selective about my precious film.

Look through your film photographs and ask yourself if it was worth shooting each one and why. What value are you getting from capturing that moment. There's a chance a roll of film may last two weeks - cutting your cost in half.

For what it's worth, New Jersey Film Lab does good work.

And if you want to try developing, find a high school or college that has a lab and see what options they have. Black and white is a couple of hours to learn and develop your first roll. And, just as creative as the image capture process.
The only certified UNIX you've listed is macOS, and it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that their frankenkernel doesn't fully comply with POSIX spec. Besides that, I don't know what to tell you. The whole business of "true UNIX" is pretty much thrown to the wayside these days anyways, the list of server-ready POSIX-compliant OSes is tiny, and their market share is even smaller.
Maybe I'm silly to think this, but I don't think the reason for the unequal treatment is because the other creators were men, but because the boobs on the statue Naomi made were positively humongous, by the standards of the abstracted/idealized female nude figure which we are accustomed to treating as art. I remember being shocked the first time I encountered a nude statue in real life (had to travel outside the US to find them). I've gotten used to them now, but I would be shocked again if I encountered a city square with a naked statue with boobs this in-your-face big. The video might have been saved with just the elimination of the nipples. Male statues are actually a bit more restricted, because the ancient pieces like Michaelangelo's David that we are used to seeing in art have artificially tiny wieners. Won't be seeing any Jonah Falcon statues in public parks.
This just seems like a classic example of how to lie with statistics. And that assumes the comparisons are even valid -- it is notoriously difficult to compare measurements that sound the same on the surface between different countries that have differing methods at calculating the value.
When an article or website clearly showcases their agenda, you should expect that they cherry pick and misrepresent data.

Conclusions need to be data-driven, rather than agenda-driven.

A good sign of this is when data presented doesn't demonstrate a clear conclusion, and when different articles show analyses that initially seem to support different agendas.

Truth is about nuance and nuance complicated and confusing - often seemingly contradictory on the surface.
I just realized SO was sold to some random investment fund in June and the corporate speak is now on Meta and Blog. I used to love theirs startup culture. I wish it was sold to a tech giant instead. Tech giants may have their problems but at least the are not speaking this way and I can relate to what they are doing.
