But even in a world where everyone is a good actor, bugs and accidents will still exist. Then what happens when someone accidently sends money to a wallet where the owner is dead or unreachable?

Why would anyone want to put their life savings into that situation?
Why don't they post? For the same reason I don't post much if anything on Facebook: my posts won't reach my friends except by happenstance. Everyone I know has observed that when you go to look at your friend's profile you will see posts that you've missed because they have never been shown to you before.

It's like only one in ten SMS texts would actually reach the other party: people would complain about SMS being broken just like they complain Facebook doesn't show them what they want to see.

Instead of your friend's posts you will see half a dozen random posts from your friends each day, too often from one prolific poster, and the rest is ads or group spam. Why bother writing anything relevant, deep, or fun when only a fraction of your friends will ever see it.
>I really don't understand why anyone would assume that Tesla owners are less likely to have those traits than non-Tesla owners.

I think it was a comparison to Autopilot rather than Tesla owners. Robot drives can't be drunk, don't need sleep etc.
Well I am writing this on a new M1 MacBook Pro which is the best laptop computer I have ever owned. And that is because Apple developed their own chips that are an amazing leap forward in power efficiency, so I can have a laptop which I do heavy, CPU intensive work on all day without worrying about the battery.
Well, your bookmarks form a _very very_ small web, with only pages that are guaranteed to be interesting to you.

You're inadvertently hinting towards an elegant solution: forget about trying to organize bookmarks. Instead, just hit a button to add that page to your micro-web, and later only use Google-like full text search for retrieving things.

It's the content search part that browsers are missing -- can anyone confirm whether Raindrop or other bookmarking services do it well?
Sorry for asking basic questions, but how could I play it in todays hardware?
Is there an emulator for Linux that could play it?
Yes, but with such restriction that it effectively still gives plenty of room for the government to be able to use marijuana as a reason to abuse people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_Mississippi

Sure, Mississippi is making progress, but it is 2022, we have the internet, a decade plus of other states actually legalizing it and making it easily accessible to everyone of age, and so my expectations of “legalizing” it are much higher than they were 20 years ago.
We shouldn't be proud of that. The fact that the market is a duopoly, with the 50+% option being an expensive, locked down, "luxury brand" that gets taxed and controlled like a dictatorship is not good. Spying or straight jacket protection racket. Gross.

The market should have way more devices, OSes, and shouldn't rely on advertising.

The DOJ needs to break up both Apple and Google so we have fairer competition and better options for consumers and small businesses.

I really hope Framework, Pinephone, Fairphone, DuckDuckGo, Mozilla, et al. can find cracks in the giants and grow. But it's really hard when they have so much unassailable power.
Younger does not necessarily mean faster. I’ve done process improvement in the past and it boils down to three things people, tools and process. Take a look at YouR tollchain (ex do you have any code suggestion ai in there?) and the delivery process end to end. If you’ve exhausted those two take at look at how you approach problems. Make an list of changes and start with the simple improvements. Rule of thumb is you will gain. 80% speed improvement with 20% extra or 0 effort depending on what process area was changed ( people , process, tool)
> There are plenty of legitimate concerns about the effect of social media on individuals and societies, but as both a smoker and a former FB employee equating them is a stretch.

True. Tobacco breaks encourage us to connect with our fellow human beings, social media mostly makes us hate each other more ;P
People have many reasons for disliking Facebook.

We have the personal data usage and integrity problems.

Then they wanted to get clean from this and did it by way of censoring and silencing what can be called conservative voices.

And now they want you and your kids to waste your life in some VR "meta" world...

Facebook does still serve a purpose. It's a popular and easy way for local communities and associations to stay in touch.

I couldn't stand Facebook though so I find myself not being able to join these conversations. Hoping something better comes along.
I would counter your evolution point. Evolution hates brains and wants them to be as small as possible, because they cost a lot of energy. Saving energy is the reason our brains rely so much on biases and heuristics.
Noprob! just a clarification.
Sorry for this possibly stupid question - really not into crypto space (and not in small part because of these types of stories).

But, these hackers walked away with $320M in ether, but is what they did actually illegal or did they just exploit a flaw in the code that allowed them to make huge profits on someone else's mistake, but wasn't actually illegal?

Does the FBI even get involved with cases like this? or is it just the wild west out there, and may the best hacker win?
> Where do you find employees, even $500K/year ones, you would trust not to pick up $300m just sitting there in the open for the taking?

As with any crime, you rely on the risk (and potential punishment) being higher than the reward. In this case, because it's based on blockchains that are public, immutable and very easy to trace, it'll be hard to impossible for the one doing the drain to actually get away with it. They can try to go to a exchange to get actual money out of it, but the exchange will most likely have blacklisted the addresses involved. They can try to tumble it, but the exchanges will mostly likely blacklist your account if they see any tumbling involved as they can't fulfill the KYC/AML laws then. They can try to sit on it for the future, but eventually they are gonna want to cash out somehow, and then the two previous issues get in the way again.
How can I ask for a temporary exemption to new policy?
I have read through most of the comments regarding my question. I must admit I was amazed at the number of responses I got, so many I was nervous about reading them, but after a day I have read them and think your comment hits home to my current situation.

I would not say I am independently wealthy but I am not carrying a mortgage or any debt and do have enough squirreled away to last me another two years (Depending on inflation) at which point it will have been 5 years since beginning this venture. I would estimate between the property value, equipment and infrastructure I would have between 400K and 600K USD if I was to sell it all today.

I think part of the reason I asked the question is that I have experienced a grave loss and what used to be a shared dream that two people were working towards, now feels somewhat like an overwhelming task that I now must face alone.

I have decided that I will stick it out for another year and then reevaluate my situation, one good thing about my living situation is there is no outside pressure to change it.

Also I know you were joking about the 12 hour days but truth be told from the time I finish my coffee and get to work till the time I put the last logs on the fire and crawl into bed, it is more like 16 hours and the days only get longer from here. (The animals don't care if I'm discouraged they want their food and water and let me know it, especially the roosters which being someone who never lived on a farm, I thought they only crowed when the sun came up, not two hours before!!)
To put it in perspective, average price for ALL new cars was north of $45K in 2021. So we are speaking of barely 25% difference. Which is mostly yes, because electric cars for now tend to concentrate to the luxury-ish segment.
I have good news for you. Male/female/other, once you pass 40 they will mostly stop asking.

(I am assuming you are under 40 because people are still asking)

So you have to ask yourself the question that really matters. The one you're hoping you know the permanent answer to: do you want them to stop asking?

The pandemic meant that really only one person has asked me that question in two years. And the reality is that as I bear down on 50, the actual answer is mostly irrelevant. The choice gets taken out of your hands eventually.
> Even in 2D this would be very enjoyable.

I can confirm that it was.

I remember reading Richard Bransons autobiography, and there’s a line in there about him watching what his kids where into that led him to get into some business that’s was a huge success. Don’t remember any more details, but they are the future consumers. Heck, FB used to only even be available to broke college students!
Watching the film I knew where I have experienced these exact same problems:

When I thought my wife and kids to drive!

Incredible how many of the exact same mistakes it makes as they did.

I am currently building a similar tool to this called Conote (conote.page). Conote lets you highlight and annotate by simply pasting in a url instead of downloading a browser. You can therefore have discussions with others based on your annotations by sharing the link with them.

Conote is currently in early beta and there are a lot of rough edges eg. it currently only supports Chrome and Firefox desktop to create highlights (soon to be fixed). I have plans to add much better knowledge retrieval searches etc but for now am focusing on making the core ability to add context to your thoughts.

I welcome any feedback you might have :)
I have an internal Nextcloud Server that I can access through VPN/Wireguard. The Nextcloud android client can edit files (either in plaintext, which I prefer, or markdown rendered mode). For when I have no mobile internet access, I use Markor [1], installed from F-Droid. The files in Markor are synched to Nextloud, when online or in home wifi again.

Hell, Microsoft is pulling stuff with Edge now that pales in comparison to just shipping IE by default. Google, Android, same thing.
What is it with cryptocurrencies and HN that makes people make low-effort comments like this? Seems so emotional if you compare to other subjects, even threads about Facebook has better arguments for/against Facebook than with cryptocurrencies. In general HN commentators seems to be relatively emotionless and focus mostly on facts, while as soon as cryptocurrency stories appear, the threads get filled with comments like this that doesn't actually try to make faithful arguments but rather appeal to peoples emotions about cryptocurrencies.

I see it happening from both sides (pro/against), but always around cryptocurrencies.
Oh no!

...anyway.
I already linked to Apple's own privacy policy on ads where they describe exactly this. If that's not a sufficient source, there's nothing better I could do. To quote:

> We create segments, which are groups of people who share similar characteristics, and use these groups for delivering targeted ads.

> We may use information such as the following to assign you to segments:

> ... The music, movies, books, TV shows, and apps you download ...

> ... The topics and categories of the stories you read and the publications you follow, subscribe to, or enable notifications from ...

> ... Your name, address, age, gender, ...

> ... your App Store searches and browsing activity ...

> ... information stored on your device, such as the apps you frequently open ...

There is absolutely no suggestion there that these segments would be per-app. In fact, they cannot be per-app given some of the data they say they're using is only collected from places with no ads. That is not an exhaustive list by the way, but just representative examples provided by Apple. The only data they explicitly promise not to use for ads targeting is:

> No Apple Pay transactions or Health app data is accessible to Apple’s advertising platform
I would not characterize Apple giving people the choice to not be tracked by Facebook as governing commerce.
Before you do please educate yourself on many instances where folks have lost access to gmail with no way to retrieve their data. There is no support in google for consumers
Changes the feel way too much, ruins the point of it being a Japanese game if it’s all just being filtered through the humor of one American who didn’t have the talent to create something that grand anyway.

Intent of the original writers should take priority over the translator wanting to put their attempts at jokes in.
I also quit Twitter a long time ago. Unlike OP I don’t feel I’ve missed out on any important conversations. Twitter is awful at being a communication platform.

There’s no concept of on-topic or off-topic, so in order to get the little morsel of useful information you have to wade through political arguments, pictures of pets and who knows what else. Using Twitter feels like a chore.

In place of Twitter I use discord, various programming subreddits, HN, and I get way more exposure to important information when it’s not hidden amongst every shade of anger and banality.

It's as if The Other Provider is an ad company themselves =)
So during my time at FB I spent most of it on ML infra for ads and IG.

But I did spend 2016 in a content moderation group. And 2016 was both the inflection point of everyday people saying “FB is fucking with elections” and believe me or not, a totally clean election at least as concerns the outcome (I voted for Clinton FWIW).

Most people’s objections to the effect of social media on politics, and I used to do this for a living, seem to boil down to: “It’s the platform’s responsibility to put downward pressure on stuff I disagree with”.

I don’t mean to be flip, but one person’s “misinformation” is another person’s “free speech”.
Is it really more than a Craigslist copy? I mean, I guess it succeeds in replacing Craigslist, but there’s no way it’s gunning for Amazon.

I used to think the same thing, and had personal experience backing it up when buying my Quest a few years ago. I simply stopped using it after a while when the novelty wore off. What has actually happened though is that I started returning to it and can now spend many hours a day in VR (both for workout and for entertainment).
A lot of companies acquire to expand. What has Cisco invented since the router in the early 90’s? Their entire product line can be traced to an acquisition.

Not every company needs to be Apple to succeed.
The key is manual curation. Once you need to find a library, you do a bit of Googling/Reditting, and after 30mins you have the full low down on what are the actual alternatives and the differences. All the automated library tools don’t work.
An option here might be things like COM and DCOM. Individual, possibly embedded, components and a well defined communications mechanism.

Historically the Amiga was quite nice here with systems using AREXX to communicate (but not embed), and Linux/POSIX has things like DBUS for the same (but less flexibly since there's no middleware between the two for coordinating control between systems, the components need to know about one-another directly - kinda).
Just a fun fact: there are dozens of papers released each year, which claim that they have proven that P=NP, or P is not equal NP. E.g. they "prove" it with soap bubbles: https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0406056.pdf
The Formation of IPv4 Address Markets (2021)
If I take notes on something I read on the web, it goes into either my Obsidian offline notes or into the knowledge base on my website.

I assume that any given useful website may be gone in a month. This may be a holdover thought pattern from the 90s, but for me if it's worth knowing, it's worth writing down in my own system - which is app-independent, and could be printed from the source files without loss of information, should that become necessary.

Oh, and if the page author is here - please, reduce the resolution of that painting image. It's unnecessarily massive.
You conveniently left out how Index is $999 + the cost of a gaming PC whereas Quest 2 is $300 with everything you need to play.

It's hard for me to hear your argument when you don't address the most obvious criticism.
> Is this a naive fantasy on my part, or actually possible?

Possible, yes, desirable, no.

The issue I have with all these end-to-end models is that they're a massive regression. Practitioners fought tooth and nails to get programmers to acknowledge correctness and security aspects.

Mathematicians and computer scientists developed theorem solvers to tackle the correctness part. Practitioners proposed methodologies like BDD and "Clean Code" to help with stability and reliability (in terms of actually matching requirements now and in the future).

AI systems throw all this out of the window by just throwing a black box onto the wall and scraping up whatever sticks. Unit tests will never be proof for correctness - they can only show the presence of errors, not their absence.

You'd only shift the burden from implementation (i.e. the program) to the tests. What you actually want is a theorem prover that proofs the functional correctness in conjunction with integration tests that demonstrate the runtime behaviour if need be (i.e. profiling) and references that link implementation to requirements.

The danger lies in the fact that we already have a hard time getting security issues and bugs under control with software that we should be able to understand (i.e. fellow humans wrote and designed it). Imagine trying to locate and fix a bug in software that was synthesised by some elaborate black box that emitted inscrutable code in absence of any documentation and without references to requirements.
FB buys TWTR, only short-term distraction tactic I can think of right now. I jest... I dont think that would be a good idea for many reasons. But FB seems it will only innovate through acquisitions - and now would be the time.
Disagree, they've never said it's gone for good, just postponed, if you have a link which contradicts this I'd be pleased to read it.

> Apple said its decision to delay was "based on feedback from customers, advocacy groups, researchers and others... we have decided to take additional time over the coming months to collect input and make improvements before releasing these critically important child safety features."
Thats brilliant, something like that but weekly and pushed to my ereader would be great.
I think it's pretty much inevitable.

As Facebook is getting larger and larger, it gets harder and harder for them to grow users/revenue/time on site. So they start adjusting some things so they keep growing. But these things also make Facebook less compelling for existing users, which leads to eventual attrition.
What? 97% of U.S. people have potassium-deficient diets, which is greater than the 68% of U.S. people who have magnesium-deficient diets (according to your source). I agree that anyone who is taking potassium supplements should carefully monitor their potassium intake, but almost all foods have low enough levels of potassium that excessive potassium consumption is extremely rare. The FDA limits most potassium supplements in the U.S. to 99 mg per dose, an insignificant 2% of the Daily Value.*

No that is not accurate. Krita is excellent at editing graphics and photos.
Only for certain apps. I have friends that got a lot of motion sickness from the original DK2. They don't get it anymore except in games where you walk with your stick. But playing let's say Beat Saber is fine.
They just need to make it cheap and good enough. And of course have an ironclad EULA about the tracking and spying stuff that people agree on.

And make it hard enough to root so that people just don't get a cheap phone and install vanilla Android on it.
No. Given that the link was used as a source, I thought I would see a list of countries where the payment feature is supported.
Does that mean they have to do a take per camera? Or have every shot pre planned rather than editing them together I suppose.
To what degree, though? Some people get sick using vehicles in real life, and they still tolerate it for the most part.

It seems probable that motion sickness in VR will be less of a problem in the future as technology and techniques improve. Most people seem to be able to cope with it at the current level.
I know nothing about the company but I do know about UK company law. A UK company is very easy to open, there's no oversight, you declare the truthfulness of your statements and that's it: it takes about 10 minutes, you could have a UK company by the end of today. The directors of the company in question are not British, so even in the worst case scenario where they break the law and are pursued, they can just skip the country and face no real recourse.

There are some opportunities that can be a meaningful demonstration of credibility, like registration with the FCA, but I don't see any evidence of that for this company. I would consider their incorporation (as a cic, not a for-profit company) meaningless in determining if they're credible.

* Avoid OOP in JS (don’t use this). It buys you nothing, greatly expands the size of your code and vastly complicates maintenance.

* Be clear about requirements. If the requirements aren’t clear push back before doing any work.

* If you are working defects expect reproduction steps, a test location, defect state, and desired state. If this isn’t clear push back on it.

* if you cannot deliver code, because the work environment is shit, then deliver better documentation.

The problems I encounter at my work is that just about every is slow. Those who aren’t appear to hoard product knowledge and are really shitty at communicating. I really want to say that is intentional behavior but I just think it’s actually a mix of shitty code, fear of writing, and aggressive posturing by people who want attention compared to everyone else. The key failure here is that the employer rewards hard work without quality checks.

While I agree that learning and understanding actual protocols is useful to do anything practical with networking, I don’t see how reading packet diagrams would be useful during a Computer Science degree, where the focus is on concepts, rather than actual implementation.

For example, it really doesn’t matter what TCPs header layout is, what’s more interesting is how it solves the problems it’s designed to solve (e.g. reliable, ordered transit on top of an unreliable base; congestion control etc.), which are independent of the exact TCP implementation.

I also think RFCs are suboptimal for this. They will contain all the details, however this means they have to also explain uninteresting implementation details, whereas a good textbook can present the topics much more concisely.
