Obama did take a number of jabs at "country folks" for instance his "cling to guns and religion" comments.

Some minority of people didn't care for his race undoubtedly. But also he was a liberal community organizer from Chicago at the head of a bright new rainbow coalition of social justice (in theory, in practice not so much) and many traditionalists just didn't care for that whole image.

As far as president, he was a good speaker but that's about as far as it went.

He didn't do much of the stuff he said he would, the wars went right on, he weaponized agencies against his political opponents, no radical social justice was achieved, growth in GDP during his time was basically deficit spending (ditto for Trump). He really wasn't as good as people think, he just talked nicely.

To be fair talking nicely seems to be the majority of the job. I'm unsure how much we can really credit or blame a president for the state of the world and even what the government does during their presidency.
The whole point of legal tender is that it overrides any terms you may have agreed to beforehand.
Because Obama and Co castigated anyone who disagreed with policy as a racist. Also Joe Biden during the 2012 campaign said that Mitt Romney wants "to put y'all back in chains"

Clearly your programs don't handle binary data.
Sure. Since it's less of a theme and more of a custom configuration, here is a link to the installation (it's a portable install, so no need for folders in `AppData`. Just place this anywhere, and run foobar.exe): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j9yfv18j8b2mss4/AABgDgZUfm0KuvEi6...

Additionally, I use the 'Fira Code' font for the UI, so you must have that installed if you want your foobar to look the same. That font is freely available here: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode

Back before SSL/TLS became a thing, ARP poisoning was all you really needed to find out some fun details. It was basically pretending you're both the network gateway and a client.

This and some poor decisions on my part ended up with an expulsion my senior year, never had a phone call like this - just angry people from the state.
I did catch a few changes it recommended that did not work. Though it is better than my own, obvious shortcomings. When I was at school(70's 80's), I thought such grammar and spelling correction would be easily automated away and yet.

Though it may not be perfect, it is testament how hard grammar can be, translated into a rule set.
I agree with you. This is a big part of my current philosophy of life. Do and read and learn.
> This is availability heuristic. Many financial innovations work out well and power everything we do today without a second thought. Credit cards, internet banking, mobile banking, etc etc etc. Should we ban all financial innovations because a subset can cause collapse?

All of these tools are strictly regulated specifically to avoid that collapse. Because we learned from when they collapsed before not to let them run wild and do whatever they wanted because it's a bad time.

> For stablecoins, the difference here is that all data is open.

Only some fraction of the data is open. You have no access to exchange books. You can see where things are on chain, but the backing is completely opaque. Have you seen Tether's audits? I haven't. I know they wired all the cash to back one attestation over from Bitfinex the morning of the attestation and wired it back. Hat tip to the New York Attorney General. And they're far and away the largest.

Trustlessness can by definition only extend to what can be wholly represented on chain. Stablecoins cannot.

> For ICOs, this exists today as well in our regular regulated markets as well. Don't tell me you think AMC or GME is worth what they are worth.

They're not good investments because they're overpriced, but they're not zero-sum. They have customers and the intrinsic value of the shares increases (ideally) through dividends, buybacks and capital reinvestment over time. This means returns aren't exclusively generated by other shareholders but instead through a third party (customers).

Not every equity will win, and you can of course lose money buying them, but equities are positive sum.

Don't conflate a stock being "worth what they're selling for" with them being a zero-sum game like token offerings.

A bit of nuance is important here to prevent false equivalency.

Fox News was explicitly started with the intent of being the media arm of the GOP. They employ a bunch of “talk shows” which spread blatant lies and disinformation: all allowed because the org admits that these aren’t reporters, they’re just hosting a “show”. On a channel called Fox “News”. Do most viewers get that distinction? Who cares.

While other channels are guilty of doing similar shit to certain extent, Fox News is several orders of magnitude different in how far they go with twisting facts and misinforming their viewers.

I think that my mistake was caused by this, that some manual I read in old days was claiming that m68010 was the first one which was able to run proper unix OSes, because it had correctly implemented privilege levels. And I somehow conflated it with MMU.

Calling it a Ponzi shows a rather poor understanding of the area as if you say look at the Wikipedia article on them say, or similar sources it is apparent that Bitcoin isn't one. A passage from Wikipedia for example

>The scheme leads victims to believe that profits are coming from legitimate business activity (e.g., product sales or successful investments), and they remain unaware that other investors are the source of funds.

Bit like anti vaxxers saying the vaccine isn't a vaccine because it doesn't have 100% sterilizing immunity. It just goes to show the argurers are not very well informed on what vaccines and or Ponzis are by the usual dictionary definitions.
The issue that I had with Minikube is that I couldn’t get it to work with my employer’s VPN enabled. I realize that this is more the fault of my employer’s strict no-split-tunneling configuration than Minikube’s, but sadly that is the reality I live in.

I ended up using lima vm, which has an elegant port forwarding solution to make everything running on the VM appear as if it is running on localhost.

Having made the switch, I also prefer the simplicity and transparency of know exactly how the VM is configured, and being able to make tweaks to the provisioning script if necessary. Minikube on the other hand felt a bit automagical at times.
How is that a lesson for privileged kids only?

True, but industries tend to follow each-others trends for better or worse at least in short-term cycles. Its entirely possible for a whole industry to lean towards a bad solution for 5 years before course correcting.

The most recent has been the proliferation of Streaming services and original content to try and own unique content per-platform. Netflix and HBO did well from 2014-2017, and everyone else hopped onto the bandwagon to mediocre effect since
Could you clarify which definition you're using, in that case, and where you obtained it, and explain why it's a better definition than the US Code?

The Constitution gives the Federal government the exclusive right to mint currency. Arizona isn't allowed to do that.

Consider the possibility that if you're not aware of this basic fact, there may be other lackings in your knowledge.

Article I, Section 10, emphasis mine:

"NO STATE SHALL enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; COIN MONEY; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility."
And yet Spain (and Italy) are relatively stable first world countries. Damn, I live in the US, and I would say there is way more hustlery here than back in Spain.
I disagree, maybe they want it to do more but they don't know it is possible. Heck, I can code just fine but some problems I need to ask a proper software dev if they know the right algorithm/ datastructure,etc... to make it possible. And don't even get me started with security issues that arise when people are hard coding creds and screwing up permissions on prod data.

Definitely true that they had a remarkable result, but I don't know of anyone who actually works/worked that hard and 'failed' (by any reasonable definition). Most people tend to dramatically overstate their persistence and work ethic.

People can be anonymous but still accountable. Require users to post a cryptocurrency bond to post, and let others lay bets against the user's future score in some sort of crowd-sourced karma system. This lets other users gain if they successfully predict that the user's post will be disapproved of (get paid for reporting, e.g. obvious spam!) while conversely rewarding the user for good content that others are maliciously trying to bury or "cancel".
Where this apparatus gets really interesting is the addition of AI.

Suddenly cross-referencing pockets of activity in the giant trove of permanently stored data can be done for every citizen, not just ones of interest.

You can start modeling and simulating behavior off that data to predict future actions like in Minority Report.

But if you look far enough into the future on that trend and link it into Microsoft's recent patent on resurrecting dead people as AI chatbots from social media data, the treasure trove of all online activity for every citizen becomes a curious anthropological artifact as the people in it die off.

Did you have a nuclear scientist on the verge of a fusion breakthrough die before they could finish their paper? Just feed the entirety of their digital life into the system and extrapolate the non-digital using generalized "human experience" models built off everyone else to resurrect a copy of them (or many copies) in a simulated continuation of their day to day thinking and working.

Very few people fully understand the extent of the digital footprints we are leaving behind in the context of trends in big data.

The data we are leaving behind in mass collection will eventually take on (literally) new life.

> Agreed, but "runs bus service every ~30 minutes where a single bus would make the entire bridge overweight" would be an entirely new level of "I can't believe it."

structural damage is incremental. situations where the trigger is dramatically smaller than peak load are quite common. consider the florida condominum: it collapsed in fair weather, despite that under rain load it would have hundreds of tons more support carry. you've seen many videos on youtube where a sinkhole opened up under a small car on a large road which carries freight.

this is one of the things you're taught very early in the relevant schooling.

you've tried to pull my card in fairly aggressive ways several times in this thread. it's making me somewhat uncomfortable.
I enjoy this series quite a bit and read more than a few but these books are far denser than people realize. After each manga section there are several pages of an afterword of sorts that feature some of the densest textbook level explanations you'll ever see simply because they can't give the needed depth in the manga parts of the story if their goal is to actually teach something.
Ah ok, I see what you mean.

The other commenters have pointed out that it _is_ based on another open standard, but admittedly one less common than say, JSON. So you'll generally have to implement your own metrics producer or use a client library, that's true.

However it's also a dead simple format and you can probably implement it with a for-loop or a shell script.
I love that they don't allow side-loading. Long live the walled garden. (I mean this non-sarcastically)
My Provençal partner with an interest in etymology, thinks that négo chin, "dog-drowner" refers to the kind of ugly box one would use when euthanizing a dog, rather than hinting that a dog might drown if it took a ride in the boat. We just assumed that this black humor was too dark for an upbeat American article on traditional craftmanship :)

Not absolutely certain on this, though, but I thought it was an interesting commentary on southern French humor and sentiment.
I'm a kdb+/q[1] developer. It's a proprietary timeseries database used in finance/trading, but also for IoT/sensor data.

But for your usecase I think TimescaleDB will be the best fit. It's an opensource extension for PostgreSQL, so you can use any PL/framework which can work with Postgres.
And you have all the felxibility of RDBMS and can use standard SQL queries.

I was in high school from 2007 to 2011. Half of it in rural Alabama, the other half in the Bay.

Even being in the tech capital of the world, the school administration's views on technology and information access were so backwards. Our school basically didn't allow accessing any websites that weren't on some allowlist. Teachers had accounts to bypass the content filter.

We had a game design class that happened after school. Usually that period was reserved for making up classes you failed, but ROP courses that didn't align with the district's curriculum goals were taught as well.

Needless to say, pretty much every resource we needed was blocked. So the teacher would give out his content filter bypass credentials, because the school wouldn't entertain any exceptions to students not being allowed to have them even though they knew there were classes on campus that would have tremendous difficulty. A couple of times a student would leak the credentials to others on campus and it'd take all of 5 minutes to get to everyone on campus via social media.

They'd always treat everyone who knew the bypass accounts as "guilty unless proven otherwise". I ended up in detention a few times for even knowing it. Parents complained to the school a bunch, school just always blanket said "bypassing the content filter as a student is against policy for any reason. No exceptions."

Makes me think back to 1st grade in 1999 when I was first given internet access and being told not to use Google because "it wasn't safe". Couldn't have been that bad because it took another half decade for me to inadvertently end up on the "adult" part of the internet.
I have been DuckDuckGo 100% completely the last month and from these messages I am super happy I did. Google is tanking fast. Even a general public of r/askreddit noticed, with a huge thread and similar experiences. If I was Google, I would be very worried, and if I was DDG I would be pulling out all stops with advertising.
You are trying to move the goal posts. Both Solaris and QNX are still examples of "superior technology" to Linux, despite both being dead for a long time. Kernel architecture is also highly relevant, ever wonder why Android phones only get a few years of updates?

> Proof of work combined with the deflationary nature of these currencies is literally the antithesis of efficiency.

1) First of all, are we discussing crypto as a currency or blockchains as a technology? Your criticisms seem all over the place here.

2) Maybe talking negatively about the dangers of deflationary currencies while we're in a period of economic inflation and peoples' purchasing power is being deliberately destroyed is not the best idea.

3) I'm not convinced that deflation in a currency is a bad thing. Mainstream economics schools hate deflation, but the Austrian school writes very favorably on the merits of deflation: https://mises.org/library/deflating-deflation-myth

4) Proof of work might or might not be around in the future: who knows? But that doesn't mean that blockchains are unworkable, just that one implementation might not stand the test of time.

> No system that relies on human inputs can prove to be perfectly transparent or eliminate corruption.

Look into what Oracles are and how they can guarantee the reliability of information and the concept of cryptoeconomic security. Who knows where this ends up going and if it's widely used or not, but there's a very high chance that all of the theoretical objections you would make here have been addressed.
You really should avoid Budapest then.
Netscape was required to severely cripple SSL to be allowed to export it in the early 1990s. Since "export" included putting software on an FTP server, this meant no open source crypto software could be on US servers. GNU addressed that problem by hosting some software in Europe.

I find it implausible that 4 school chums from Liverpool turned out to be musical geniuses. It's much more plausible that they were reasonably smart, really loved music, and worked very hard learning to play. Once one learns to play well, moving into composition is a natural step.

It's unsurprising that the Beatles' music they created as a group was better than what they did afterwards (much better). After all, if you're John Lennon, who is going to tell you your latest song sux, and btw, here's an improvement to it? Nobody but a fellow Beatle.

There were enough stories at this time online that I knew it was best to say nothing. Did nothing bad, just explored, learned quite a few things and well was surprised how really easy it was to do things.

yah, I have actually thought about this. Tbf, I'm not advocating strongly for or against blockchain. I'm just keeping an open mind in the same way when web 1.0 was being developed and researched.

I think it's fairly destructive to just discount new technology based on feeling. It really is a fun technology to learn and the more minds like we see on HN that research the topic, the more likelihood we will have in expanding the usefulness and security of blockchain use-cases.

It's kind of ironic reading this comment given that at the time you posted it, I was screaming at gcc's stupid code generator for wasting bytes recreating constants that were already there in that very register! That code needs to fit in a couple hundred bytes..

And half an hour ago I was (once again) checking out hosting providers and lamenting the fact that most don't seem to offer support for loading custom ISOs so I could install a 30 megabyte distro and make the most out of the cheap plans that only offer something like 10 gigabytes of storage. Half of it is wasted after you install one of the these obese mainstream distros.
