> I don't need your sympathy

But you do need the sympathy or at least respect of the Australian electorate and by asserting obvious nonsense to the vast majority all you’re doing is empowering your opponents.
Hasn’t it only recently started to be supported by phone carriers? How widespread is that support?
I wish I remember where I saw this but someone described crypto like this: imagine you're a smart person who is super knowledgeable about something like software engineering, distributed systems and consensus. That's great. But then you make the mistake of thinking because you're really smart and good at this thing you must be smart about something completely different, like oh I don't know the financial system. That's crypto.

Basically, we're going to go through a process where a ton of people realize that things like reversible transactions in the traditional financial system are a feature not a bug. Thing like KYC/AML are a feature not a bug. The idea that crypto is extragovernmental is a myth. And things like smart contracts and NFTs only really work when they're completely self-contained on the blockchain. Like, I can create an NFT for a song but that doesn't mean I have the legal right to sell that (there's lots of scams like this). Even if I do, you still need traditional systems to enforce such rights anyway.
The state of NH makes it an option for lottery winners to keep their identity private. I know this decision was praised but to me without full transparency those close to the process will be tempted to pass winning tickets to themselves/family/friends.
My kids play roblox and minecraft and watch roblox/minecraft videos on youtube, hours and hours long. Some youtubers make 1 hour long movies, these 100 days on minecraft sagas. Just to put into perspective there are basically ongoing minecraft/roblox soap operas on youtube... Amazon has even picked up on this... My kids even make a few tiktok and youtube videos and have gotten huge engagement. Even the youtubers who do (in real life) IRL videos adopt things from minecraft/roblox /among us.

It is absolutely unreal.
GP doesn't suggest having the car turn on cruise control on its own (nightmare!), but instead to remind the driver that this may be a good opportunity to switch it on themselves.
If by 'lose digital citizenship' you mean 'kicked off Facebook' I think that's probably overstating. I got my first domestic internet connection in 1996 and have never had a Facebook account yet don't in any way feel deprived of 'digital citizenship'. Perhaps I'm unique!
Apple is now cancer dressed up as sustainability, security, privacy, and good design.

Well, the emperor has no fucking clothes on, Tim — we can all see!
Yes. Which is so tragic. Perhaps I'm not aware of what is a Pro-Israel source or not, but when googling "mowing the grass" as the IDF's tactic against Gaza. It appeared as if most political sides agreed that is the tactic being taken. Different political sides viewed the morality and usefulness of that differently. But they all appeared to agree.

Hamas isn't "mowing the grass". The IDF is.

I'm not sure what a solution could actually be. However mowing the grass has clearly shown it benefits the evils of Hamas and other higher ups in Gaza. It keeps the current status quo in tact which gives Israel some benefits too.

Let's (I am using "let us" as an American whose country is allied with Israel and as someone who supports Israel's right to their land and do not want innocent people to die) not "mow the grass" any more.
The President’s branches can only do what Congress allows them to do. If Congress prohibits him (the IRS) from doing this, he can’t Executive Order his way around it.

(It’s more complicated than that, but that’s the idea)
Thanks for your response. I’m just kind of blown away by the possibilities of such a revenue model and have never heard it talked about before. I had no idea it was possible to get a cut of the merchant fees.

One of my competitors is doing this. They offer their service free by issuing a card to the customer, and make money on interchange fees whenever the customer uses the card.
Right now, it's generally hard to always know what the default volume should be and I consider that a failure. One day tech will be sufficiently advanced that it can adapt to the environment and user and consistently pick an excellent default volume.

We're improving though. Volume settings are an unnecessary annoyance in a great deal of apps already and you won't need to tweak it in many apps that pick good standard defaults for notification sounds, mic volume, etc. It's grating when apps pick bad default volumes and it immediately assaults our ears. Unfortunately, users sometimes still have to tweak a global/system volume setting, but hey, things aren't perfect and it's good to have a fallback when software fails.

Two people may indeed have different preferences, but that's no excuse to force users to configure a bunch of knobs and switches themselves. Good design adapts to the user. When it doesn't, then settings cleans up after the failure.
Not yet. If Facebook can produce so many conspiracy theorists and so much radicalization, what will TikTok be capable of?
you claimed you know it well. i think it is an acceptable synonym
That is customer that are currently being covered. It is 40k to 80k at both West Coast, Midwest and Northeast so that is Times 3 plus the rural area of the West and how many that is. Then we have Europe. So I feel like there is a lot of bandwidth for millions. I can't find the coverage per satellite. How much ground do they each cover?
Addendum to my previous comment (as an in-depth technical review):

Check out the source code of wp_insert_post() [0] on line 4407, you'll see three hooks that trigger: "edit_post_{$post->post_type}", 'edit_post' and 'post_updated').

Then after that, these other ones trigger unconditionally: "save_post_{$post->post_type}", 'save_post' and 'wp_insert_post'.

For the cherry on top: wp_after_insert_post() is called, with several other hooks on their own.

Try to evaluate each configured workflow whenever every one of these hooks triggers. Your WordPress installation will get slow in no time.

Somebody designed this function this way, and that design is inhibiting effective WordPress automation.

Lots of people have long-distance relationships.

But even if you're not very into socializing online. You'll be able to sit and work at an EMPTY desk, with no monitor and no mouse, put on your lightweight headset, and suddenly have 3 large monitors appear in front of you which you can manipulate with your hands (think Minority Report, Tom Cruise), while working in a more aesthetically pleasing environment.

You'll be able to sit in your empty living room, put on your VR headset, and suddenly have a 100 inch TV in front of you to watch movies -- without having to buy this TV in real life.

Buying a monitor may seem as ridiculous as buying a fax machine.
Isn't TikTok just videos though (I don't use it so I'm guessing)?

It doesn't really seem useful for sharing the same kind of information that people use Facebook for (mostly text based information, questions, etc).
It's possible you're not in the same market as us. Lots of small businesses have no interest in running and updating a website, especially when there's a free alternative that most of their customers have access to.
Exploit is a more apt description than hack.
From the first thread:

> A commit was made ~9 hours ago replacing usage of load_instruction_at with load_instruction_at_checked, which actually confirms that the program being executed is the system program. It's interesting that this commit was made ~9 hours ago and the exploit happened a few hours after that. Possible that an attacker was keeping an eye on the repository and looking out for suspicious commits. Could be that the Wormhole team spotted the bug, patched it, but the attacker got to it before the patch could be rolled out. Super important to keep these sort of patches lowkey and to try to stuff them into larger commits.

> It looks like maybe Wormhole tried to do this by including the change in a much larger and unassuming commit called "Update Solana to 1.9.4". Not sure exactly what happened here, but a clear lesson to try to deploy before making any patch details public, if you can afford to do that. Of course this ends up being at odds with Web3 ideals, so not always clear how to best handle these sort of things.

One thing that would be healthy for the larger ecosystem would be for chains to build in regular "maintenance windows" where trades are halted by contract, at which time sensitive security patches can be rolled out to the codebase and then to the network by the maintaining team. Of course, this requires a lot of foresight. But the alternative is something like this.

Also - why would you ever set up a system where the majority of its assets can be drained by a single transaction, whether legitimate or not? Just because it's not centralized doesn't mean every transaction is made equal; one could require timeout periods for transactions above a certain amount, or any size of transactions could trigger a halt once a certain amount has been bled in aggregate, that requires supermajority consensus to "unlock" the chain. That this wasn't built in, in an ecosystem where hacking is rampant, by a team focused on creating a cross-chain transmission utility, is surprising, to say the least.

There are far, far worse things than a halt on trading. There are many domains where unsupervised 100% uptime on systems with access to a substantial portion of an organization's assets is ideal; finance, whether centralized or decentralized, is rarely one of them.
I've gone this route as well. I had good luck with certain SD cards, and earlier versions of the Pi for small things. But I've tried to use them as wireless APs, and they fold under any real use. Wireless firmware hangs requiring a full reboot to fix. Pi4s have given me a ton of trouble, and I've been on the losing side of the SD card roulette and had USB drives fail under load. There is always some kind of IO or sagging voltage problem with a power supply wigging out or I got a bad one.

Moved to using low power thin clients on liquidation for similar pricing, and it's all been a breeze. I get real disk IO. I get a real wireless card which runs an AP night and day better. I get a real USB power budget with a much more trustworthy OEM power supply. Power profile and size is about double, but it's a very worthwhile trade. I like the 1L system profiles and lean to the HPs.

I don't mind ARM in the cloud, but at home I just want real hardware.
It was a walled garden in a slightly different sense. AOL tried their best to force companies to buy AOL “keyword” so that the clueless user doesn’t have to type .com or .net at the end. If you want a comparison, that is like Google putting “I am feeling lucky” as the only option and then auctioning off that result.
because the killer feature of facebook is staying in touch and meeting people. the path to monetization and revenue burned those features and overloaded them with spam and shit no one wanted. it got to the point where people stopped using facebook to meet and stay in touch with people

a similar pattern is happening on instagram although to a lesser degree

the metaverse bet is a good one to try and make something new where the value requires you to be on the fb platform. we will see if it works. i personally don’t see it going anywhere
I've wondered this too. Three reasons:

- It's currently easy enough to hack the same money. Way less effort.

- Doing something physical puts the crime into areas where law enforcement is used to working, used to catching people, and leaves physical evidence in the world. At least in the developed world, kidnapping rich people goes to the head of the line for police resources.

- Most large projects use multisigs. This means you may need to kidnap a half dozen people in multiple counties. Doable, but the odds of none of these failing and exposing the whole operation goes way up.
I find VScode really slows me down. Gotta WIMP things that are 'wired' from my brain to the kbd via emacs. I honestly do not at all understand why anybody would use VScode except to cut people's productivity. At least, for me, anyway. I work in the embedded space, so C on the metal, and lots of python elsewhere.
It seems like they also don't have users' trust, which is well deserved. And like a person standing in your bedroom IRL feels more invasive than online tracking, user tracking in VR will feel more invasive than on a website.
Musk is likable but im personally in no hurry to buy anything any of his especiialy his hyped up robot cars .. here's one almost killing a pedestrian (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnp0VChf1_k) ... execute one algorithm to avoid car yet oops we forgot to program it executing additional ones in this situation .. let's ship out an update. Progress is going to be a killer!

Starlink seems to be more hype too like his HyperLoop.
Mathematical physics oddly enough.

I got tired of having units mismatch in physics equations so I picked up a ton of type theory and used it for everyday work. Using it, rather than talking about it, has given me a very different perspective on it than anyone else I've talked to.
For those curious about the technical details of how he did it:

> Here’s how the Multi-State Lottery Association’s random-number generators were supposed to work: The computer takes a reading from a Geiger counter that measures radiation in the surrounding air, specifically the radioactive isotope Americium-241. The reading is expressed as a long number of code; that number gives the generator its true randomness. The random number is called the seed, and the seed is plugged into the algorithm, a pseudorandom number generator called the Mersenne Twister. At the end, the computer spits out the winning lottery numbers.

> Tipton’s extra lines of code first checked to see if the coming lottery drawing fulfilled Tipton’s narrow circumstances. It had to be on a Wednesday or a Saturday evening, and one of three dates in a nonleap year: the 147th day of the year (May 27), the 327th day (Nov. 23) or the 363rd day (Dec. 29). Investigators noticed those dates generally fell around holidays — Memorial Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas — when Tipton was often on vacation. If those criteria were satisfied, the random-number generator was diverted to a different track. Instead, the algorithm would use a predetermined seed number that restricted the pool of potential winning numbers to a much smaller, predictable set of numbers.

What is the significance of it? Wouldn't adding bandwidth be expected?

(Do even Y Combinator companies get as much coverage on HN as Musk's?)
> Relm used a tone of speaking that was not appropriate for kids in Japan. Choosing to "clean up" her language too much alters the story.

If you play the fan translation of Mother 3, there's similar effort that goes into preserving Kumatora's crass vocabulary that I really appreciated. She swears somewhat infrequently and makes a number of offhand comments that don't necessarily feel unnatural, but certainly wouldn't get approved in a first-party North American release. It's a great little touch of flavor that helps contrast her character more from the more timid Lucas and duty-bound Duster, plus a generally enjoyable curveball for a game that's earlier hours are dominated with less personable, stoic villagers.
"We’d like to offer you a whitehat agreement, and present you a bug bounty of $10 million for exploit details"

So, um, wouldn't the person pulling off the exploit be a fool to try and accept this "bug bounty"? Even if the offer is fully sincere, the legal system doesn't run on "code is law", and it seems like the original hack could be prosecuted under CFAA whether Bridge wants that or not.
I've never really understood this MBA mentality because growth must stop at some point. There are only so many humans on earth. The expectation that a company can grow forever is impossible, at least until we find an alien planet with a population willing to sign up for Facebook.

> What exactly are they comparing GNOME to?
To everything else that is not GNOME. I gave many examples along the article.

It's not a matter of being 'frozen in time'. Changing just for the sake of change doesn't add much. As I said, new UI paradigm is welcome but it has to be at least more efficient, which is not the case.

> Name one complete desktop application platform from the last ten years that doesn't come with an equivalent to WebKitWebView.

This 'last ten years' may be misleading. GNOME was created more than 20 years ago. Does it count? If you mean, desktop environments that are still being developed, which includes GNOME, then I have some examples that don't depend on any browser engine: LXDE, LXQt and Xfce.

> you can always right click on a blank space, or click the current folder in the breadcrumbs bar, and choose "Open in Terminal".

It works, sure. But it is less efficient for no good reason, and that's my point.

> And I'm sure XFCE can be built in five minutes if you just grab a prebuilt libgtk, but you should probably be asking, where did that library come from?

GNOME also depends on GTK. Actually, it's worse than that: it depends on both GTK3 and GTK4. But anyway, GTK3 compiles in less than 15 minutes on my machine. :)

> You're welcome?

Thanks, but you didn't get my point.

> Anyway, choose a less inflammatory title next time.

Thanks again. You have a point here, indeed.
Acme FTW!
A related story on the Darknet Diaries podcast about how the Puerto Rican lottery was rigged:

something strikes as peculiar/funny about discussions of walled gardens, but then blogging about it on medium.
This is an interesting perspective, but it may not be necessarily true that: 'If you aren't the sort of person to feel any sort of "delight" about good tools, then the job probably isn't a good fit for you because the responsibility of the job is to build tools.'

A professional can be perfectionist (in a good, not procrastinating way) and hold high standards to their work about creating good tools. Perhaps this is captured by 'delight,' but the language seems phrased in a way that 'delight' means showing positivity, bright energy, and explicit enthusiasm for work.

I think it's better for both the individual and the organization when there's a certain level of detachment with the work (so there's commitment to perfectionism but not super high enthusiasm that can be lead to burnout and health problems), but still high standards to ship a good product.
Which book, do you recall?
No, ed. The standard editor.
Get rid of 'store of value,' 'decentralization,' 'smart contracts' and all that's left is a ledger. Its really not that complex or special - if that's what fascinates you then you can just as easily approach the topic from the examples of traditional credit or even the history of semi-arbitrary currencies.

If your implication is that the only thing backing crypto currencies is an expectation of reciprocation then you are mistaken. The qualities you want to hand waive away, and most importantly (though often trivialized), is the inability to roll back the chain which is a function of "consensus power." Consensus power simply quantifies the cost of rolling back x blocks. Bitcoin currently has the highest cost to roll back blocks and therefore the most assurance.
shoot, i just replied with the same sentiment. then i saw your message.
Just in case anyone cares, this gracefully aging guy has found a reliable way to refreshing sleep every night for many years:

-- Learn some form of qigong meditation (not East Asian myself, but lived there many years). Just before bed, it's a huge help to quality sleep.

-- Practice a calorie restricted diet several times a week. On days I eat ~400 kcal., my sleep heart rate dips 5-10%.

-- Listen at bed time via earphones or otherwise to audible recorded books, selected for the sonority of the narrator and the subject matter -- not too boring, not too arousing.
Yeah exactly, a web-browser-as-a-text-editor.
I had always thought that the FDIC was a division of the Fed! Thanks for the correction.
Crypto also needs laundering. If someone forces me to hand over $50MM in Eth, I’ll file a police report with the addresses and they’ll get exchanges to block any funds coming from it. The thief may try to anonymize it with something like Tornado Cash, but that would take a very long time due to the largest pool being 100 ETH.

The alternative is demanding payment in a privacy coin, but it will be difficult for any potential victim to get as much as you need quickly enough.

Even with a privacy coin the attacker still has to be in close enough physical proximity to the victim or hostage to threaten them which leaves behind physical evidence.

Overall, I’m not sure you gain much by demanding payment in crypto over cash.
This doesn’t need to be a debate.

For those not following the space, solana has a smart contract language (a DSL in rust) that is new. Ethereum's primary smart contract language is solidity which has iterated many times & has linters and auditors that have learned their lessons through plenty of bugs in the past. (e.g. the DAO hack that split ETH into Ethereum and Ethereum classic) was a bug of the type "re-entry", it still crops up.

The new language & platform will likely need to learn the classes of bugs that can crop up through a similarly painful process, although this one was using something that was unknown to be unsafe :shrug:
because you can get claims approved pretty fast after making cheap policies for specific protocols and transactions. consensus on unexpected behavior of a smart contract is pretty quick. the insurance pool is filled by the risk tolerance of people wanted that form of passive income.

If it doesn’t function as intended then complain about that and launch a competitor.

That's very "pigeonholey" way of looking at things though, no? Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you can't become good at something else too. If you're super knowledgeable about very technical things, learning other hard sciences is feasible as well given enough time.

At the end of the day, if you create anything that's worthless, it will be worthless independent of whether you're an insider or outsider.
Agreed. I'm part of the Guitar Hero community, and that removal definitely lessens the impact of the headline. This guy caused a lot of damage along the way. The sad part (as is common with game cheaters) is that he was a top level player, and yet he still misrepresented his skill. There's a difficult, strummy chart for a song called Novae Ruptis by Keep of Kalessin. I personally witnessed him hit 100% of the notes without missing or overstrumming ("full combo") 16 times in a row. I'm very proud of how the community handled it. He was quickly ostracized from the community, and others have already stepped up to fill the void left by the lack of his presence.
Serious question, what DPI do you estimate VR goggles would need to have in order to replicate the experience of looking at a 4K monitor from 30 inches away?

If this fantasy technology were actually invented (and made comfortable to wear and affordable) then I'd buy it, sure, but I'll believe that when I see it.
"Large" is subjective, and the vaccine moves the decimal point one or two digits in the correct direction.

Also, as a matter of practicality, you don't want a steady state where a rotating 10-20℅ of the class is out with whatever the current covid variant is.
