I would caution people reading that site to double-check anything they see there, or simply consult a much, much older version from archive.org.

Sheldon passed over a decade ago, and the site has been modified over time by a guy named John Allen. He fancies himself an expert of similar caliber, but has a tiny fraction of the hands-on experience Sheldon did.

He's made a number of edits/additions injecting his personal opinion. For example: about belt drives, of which he clearly has no personal experience.
No, it is his house's fault for deciding to catch fire.
I think that's a different point to the OP, which was more about Hypercard (which would not support your app idea as it's not multi-user).

That said, there are also alternatives in that space:

* Drupal

* WordPress - particularly with Forms and Elementor

* SquareSpace, Wix, Netlify all have free tiers (depending on what your troupe users can do)

I think this article underestimates the difficulty of finding great talent in Latin America as a remote company. Everybody in Latin America wants to work remotely at foreign companies, yet few actually do in practice.

I was born and raised in Argentina, but studied and worked abroad (UK) and never was in the Latin American market. As an Engineering Lead at a London-based startup, I interviewed tons of software engineers who were applying remotely from all over South America and Central America. However, we didn't hire more than a bunch of Latin American engineers compared to dozens of Europeans and North Americans. The skill gap was pretty noticeable.

I've observed similar things with friends/family in South America which are into engineering. They find it very hard to be qualified enough to get offers from remote companies/startups.

> I assume that if you just want to use ETH to buy and sell stuff, you don't have to get involved with any of these smart contracts

Correct. If you want to send someone money unconditionally, you can just send it without a smart contract.

> What was the person who lost half a million trying to accomplish?

Why/when to use WETH? From the beginning:

Like Bitcoin, ETH is a crypto currency that has it's own token called ETH (or Ether), you can hold it, send it from one address to another address and earn it by mining. Providing a basic finance and value excahnge platform.

In addition to ETH, Ethereum supports (via Smart Contracts) things called tokens, that are effectively alternative cryptocurrencies. Pre-Ethereum, people needed to create a new chain for each new token, for example you have "NameCoin" and "LiteCoin" and "DogeCoin" and so on. Each has it's own network, initial block, wallet client, mining pools, etc. It's a copy and paste and edit of Bitcoin each time.

With Ethereum, you can create a new token with it's own separate initial supply, precision, allocations etc. on the same blockchain (Ethereum) using a Smart Contract. People can use these tokens on the same network, using the same tools. However there are limits on how different they can be - you can only do what the Ethereum tech allows.

Now as time went on, there were a lot of tokens, and so they developed a standard, ERC20, which is like a C# or Java interface that defines a standard token. With this in place people can write code that interacts with "any token".

I could create a stock exchange contract where people list, place orders etc. to swap tokens. Even once this stock exchange is written and deployed, people can create brand new ERC20 tokens, and because those new tokens meet the interface, the stock exchange will work with it.

This all hots up and of course people naturally want to use these stock exchange, and other contracts (be it gambling, lending, escrow or whatever...) with the original ETH token, since everyone playing has ETH (you need ETH to pay network fees), and it's value is going up and wotnot.

But ETH is not a smart contract. It's hard coded into Ethereum. It was written before ERC20 was standardized. So you can't use Ethereum as one of the tokens in your stock exchange.

WETH offers a way to wrap Ethereum in an ERC20 token and solve that problem!

Since smart contracts can define rules about deposits, withdrawals, etc, and smart contracts can own their own Ethereum. This wrapping can be done purely in code. No need to trust "WETH Inc"*.

WETH is basically an "adaptor" from the gang of 4 design patterns.

* Other wrapped coins usually require trust. For example "Tether" wraps USD, but it requires a company to manage the bank accounts. People may decide they don't believe that company really has the funds, or the parent company could be put out of business by a government. WETH on the other hand is wrapping something on the blockchain in a code-automated way.

You can make mistakes (like the OP) but unless there is a big security hole no one has discovered, you can't have the money stolen or confiscated unless your private keys are compromised.*
DOS Navigator baby !!!
Even under the GDPR, the right to be forgotten is not absolute or unconditional.

If a person revokes consent for their personal data to be used, the data must be deleted if "there is no other legal ground for the processing". But if a data processor has an overriding "legitimate interest" in storing data about you, then they have legal grounds to do so without your consent. The details of this will vary depending on the situation (and the jurisdiction) but, for example, fraud prevention is explicitly called out as a legitimate interest.

Do you mean their private cryptographic key?

Besides being a statisical feat along the lines of being struck by lightning every day for a year while also winning the lottery every day, whomever got that key would potentially be obscenely rich. However, spending the money would be a challenge.

That said they'd have to be very very careful. Hopefully the only kind of person that would find that key would have the additional good sense of security and paranoia that Satoshi also had. They'd keep their mouth shut and work hard to keep the secret of their discovery to themselves.

If I had that I'd break it up into a few tens of thousands of smaller wallets and then transfer those directly to different exchanges before chashing out. Or maybe try to find a big company to sell them to.
Geologist here -- happy to answer any questions about this! The underlying paper [1] and the older one it builds on [2] are both open access. The rj-MCMC for the time-temperature inversion used an existing program from the thermochron community, but we made most of the figures in Julia.

What’s crazy is that the closure came as a surprise to many - I and most of my friends didn’t see any notice of it at all. I would’ve gone to the Seattle location one last time to get in some Third Strike.
I don't know Apple Music. All I can say is that the recommendations in Spotify are perfect. Seriously, they are so good I end up adding 90% to my playlist. Sometimes I don't even know if I'm still listening to my playlist or Spotifies recommendations based on my playlist.
But Slartibartfast designed every single one of those Glacial Fjords personally!
And I worked for a company where it worked beautifully; the remote folks (who were very carefully picked) meshed perfectly with the team (and better than many of the native folks).

It's an eternal topic on HN of course. Whether it works or not seems to depend on multiple factors (not simply language issues, or remote versus local), in my view.
Yes, but there are a few things you should consider too:

* Avoid CSS, too. (Fortunately the program I have, has the option to disable CSS, so I use that and it looks better, then.)

* There should be a better way to display math equations (e.g. using MathML, possibly with a JavaScript code that only executes if MathML is not implemented in the client)

I usually just use plain text files myself. However, Fossil uses HTML, and I would prefer to make it a different HTML. I started to make one using libfossil, but have not completed it yet and it lacks some features.
This is just your speculation. A bunch of other people in this comment tree say it's not about outcomes in an unequal society being worse than outcomes in a (hypothetical, possibly unachievable) equal society with the same resources. Instead it's about a hardwired biological stress response that people lower in the social hierarchy have when they observe people higher up.

So before we go lecturing about how it "isn't that complex" let's make sure we understand what this thing is that's supposedly not that complex.
I wonder if the reverse is also true, or if we're about to see white collar wages in the US get crushed.

On the one hand, American workers now have the ability to work for more companies, including outside the US. On the other hand, there are a lot more people outside than inside, and far fewer large firms outside than inside, so off-shoring could be net negative for American workers.

I wonder if we're about to see protectionism expand from blue collar politics into white collar politics.
Thanks for ruining the surprise :(
You posted a shallow dismissal that didn't engage with anything interesting or specific in the article. Your comment simply reacted to a single phrase ("slips of paper"), snarkily jumped to an insinuation of authorial stupidity ("These are called...") and then dove into flamewar tropes ("How does this make it into..."). In the context of a classic flamewar topic like everything cryptocurrency-related, that's easily enough to restart the same old generic flamewar that we don't want here.

Btw, posting like that also breaks these site guidelines:

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful!

Yeah I figured it was shell customization gone awry early on, with 'mkdir --' in the mix. But if they'd figured that out immediately it wouldn't have been a fun post; busting out some custom unix plumbing tools and showing how cool they are is really what the article is about. Also gotta admit they have a pretty darn fun github.
As others have alluded to it's not just to play a game it's also a social thing.

I can't think of any other social activity I was involved in outside my home as a teenager. I was shy, quiet, no friends etc. but at an arcade there was a common interest. Watching someone else play or 2 player game with someone you didn't know.

The smell too arcades had a certain smell the plywood cabinets, sweet smells of food, and for a certain period in time cigarettes.

1. Crime causes stress in high crime neighborhoods.

2. Crime impoverishes neighborhoods by causing people to spend money to protect themselves, hiring security guards, armoring their businesses, and simply driving businesses away.

3. Crime impoverishes families when members get jailed.

4. Crime impoverishes criminals because a criminal record greatly restricts opportunities for productive employment

5. Crime prevents criminals from getting an education

6. Crime is a zero-sum, adversarial economic system. Cooperation in a free market is far, far more productive to those who participate in it

A person committing crimes will impoverish himself, his family, and his community.
It is not meant to be profitable but it is meant (we hope at least) to provide infrastructure for a society in domains that are not profitable for businesses while trying not to extract too much wealth from taxpayers. Maybe it would be a good thing as it would make the state less dependent on being able to get credit at a good rate and thus less dependent on financial institutions. Do you not agree ?

COM is (IMHO) one of the great underrated technologies. Registering all the classes, interfaces etc. in the registry - not so much. But IDL's, versioned interfaces etc. etc. are all reinvented every five years or so. And it's fast as hell.

DCOM was awful.

Of course using the intuitive systems setup for the

Experiencing this in a FAANG microcosm is what made me realize the same thing of the economy as a whole. When government (Latin for “control of the mind”) controls the incentives it never has to get its hands dirty accomplishing its goals. The economic reward means someone else will inevitably do it for them, even when that reward is something that’s literally worthless[0] except as an idea which much be mutually agreed upon. The very existence of billionaires is the exact same kind of individual bonus, but on a global scale.

[0] RE: https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Currency/Pages... “Federal Reserve notes are not redeemable in gold, silver or any other commodity, and receive no backing by anything. This has been the case since 1933. The notes have no value for themselves, but for what they will buy. In another sense, because they are legal tender, Federal Reserve notes are "backed" by all the goods and services in the economy.”
The problem with straight HTML, as opposed to one of the markdown-to-HTML pipelines, is that if you want to change something, it's really difficult (bordering on impossible, depending on how consistent you've been).

I migrated my blog a year and change back from Blogger to self hosted Jekyll (a rather consistent theme on this post...), and having the content, the "scaffolding" (HTML templates and such), and the render pipeline being separate means that it's trivial to change things if I want to.

As a recent example, I realized a few months back that my blog didn't render at all with Javascript disabled. That's not OK to me (it was a quirk of how the template I bought did a "gradual fade in" once the content was loaded - looks good, requires JS, I do not care about that sort of thing). To eliminate JS requirements, I had to eliminate that fade, and I had to change image embedding for a lot of things such that it didn't use lazy load - there was some JS based lazy load that meant post thumbnails and such didn't load. All I had to do was change the templates, re-render, and re-upload the site (I rsync stuff up). That would be harder to change in HTML.

The same goes for images and such. I end up with several versions of each image used - if your browser supports picture sets, it will "pick the best" based on what the browser thinks is reasonable, in terms of size and formats. I currently render to a few different resolutions of jpg (or png) and webp from the original source images. If I want to change that, add a new resolution, or add a new format, I just update a config file, re-render, and I'm done. That sort of thing helps with keeping the site "modern," if you care about it.

For an absolutely basic "few pages" site, sure, you can do HTML. But for anything with regularly updated content (I have ~260 blog posts and nearly 6000 images), it's well worth having some helpers to separate content from layout/formatting/features/etc. Despite that, it's still very much a personal only site, I'm the only author, it (now) renders without JS, sets no cookies, etc.
We're not really exporting work as much as hiring people to come over here. Or, it's not as clear cut as just exporting manufacturing.
A kind of bit-rot. It's not a directly mechanical process, but the entropy of large institutions. It's the same reason that Gmail sucks now. It's the same reason that higher versions of software gets code bloat.
> America's ethnic cleansing and de-facto segregation, let alone chattel slaver

but there you go .. from a reasonable observation of very real tensions among certain people and groups, you then "mix" all of that into the worst, and call it American. It is at the least unfair to those that stayed true to teachings of real liberty for all people.
Anything can be done using a fork. But the days of a chain (read as "only bitcoin & ethereum") doing any kind of deep state change and coming out the other side as the winning fork are done. The stake holders are so diverse and so invested in the values (i.e. immutability, scarcity) that any such fork is doomed to failure.

We found out with previous Bitcoin forks, how influential companies and miners are. 21M is non negotiable, and which stakeholder would want to dilute themselves?
Regulators have brought quite a few successful GDPR fines. The reason that people think the GDPR isn't enforced, in my experience, is usually that they've been misled about what it does and doesn't require.

For example, the author you linked to is demanding a portable copy of all his personal data from all sources, which Facebook has no GDPR obligation to give him. He seems to have been misled by a form letter he found, which incorrectly conflates Article 15 data access (isn't required to be portable) and Article 20 data access (isn't required to include data that he didn't initially provide).
Why should we totally avoid CSS? The default CSS is most web browsers is not great for reading (no maximum width, mo margin, etc.).
It feels somehow significant that the Facebook reply ended up being its own message in a bottle.
Right, it's plausible but I think most of the plausibility it due to the data being very sparse. Like how a blurry video of a figure is plausibly Bigfoot.
I’ve hired French engineers in France and they’ve done great work. Hard workers too.

But the impression France has is probably a turn off for many. There are other problems too like it taking 3 months for a new French hire to start. Getting rid of them is extremely difficult as well. There are lots of additional taxes you have to pay the French government too. There’s just so much risk in hiring there that you’re better off going elsewhere with more modern employment law for skilled, high demand workers. Don’t remind me of the monthly paperwork we have to send the government to assure them the French employee isn’t working too much and is taking vacation. An absolute joke.

The French government doesn’t make French engineers very attractive unfortunately.
In the mountain bike world, there's really only two modern standards - 650b (also called 27.5in) and 29er's. 26er's were a thing for the longest time, but really no one makes new bikes in that size anymore.

We're mostly riding on wider tires, 2.3 seems to be a rational minimum for real trail riding, and you'll often see widths of 2.6 and beyond (and fat bikes of course go way wider) on both 27.5 and 29in bikes.

When everybody would use it, and ISPs would sell access, that could help the users to regain control over their data, and make privacy on the internet finally first class.

The author mentions using server logs for understanding traffic:

> I am not using any cookies or additional ways of user tracking. Instead, I am using GoAccess to generate static reports based on the webserver logs—no user-facing parts are involved, and IP addresses are anonymised.

I've considered doing this as well, but I'd prefer not to have to run and maintain my own server, if possible.

Is anyone aware of a cheap hosting service for static sites that provides HTTP logs (even if only in aggregate)?

Do you sell off ownership and lose control? What’s the point of taking any business past that threshold? Seriously, now what?
