> The question must become "what is the other mechanism?".

For one, in theory, one useful aspect of a stable coin is to allow a user to get in and out of numerous crypto currencies while minimizing fees and delays.

Any engagement with the fiat banking system will typically cost time and/or money basically due to the potential for fraud and existing anti-fraud measures both for the banks as well as the exchanges.

As such, stable coins in theory should be a reasonable proxy for fiat for folks who trade crypto aggressively (e.g., day trading).

In practice, you get the train wreck that is Tether and Bitfinex. I realize that Tether is huge, but it’s not the best poster child for what a stable coin should be or can be.

I think some smart folks have realized that running solidly backed stable coin — that is, with actual currency rather than proxies like more crypto, bonds/loans, etc. — is a something worth pursuing. Perhaps for reasonable profit, perhaps for power… who knows? I think proper stable coins will become more prominent moving forward.

A second mechanism, and I think this is a big one, is that stable coins managed directly or indirectly by nation states (specifically US and China and maybe EU) will be a big deal in developing countries for both savings as well as transactions. China is already doing this on a small scale. Without getting into the nitty gritty, being a winner in this area will provide the issuer of the stable coin a tremendous amount of influence on the world economy.
I don't wanna ruin the conversation here but:

> Great question

This is exactly how politicians (or whoever is doing something nasty) will start the answer on sensitive question.
Shady business.
>...Either those hold true and for some reason these people who have invested heavily in ice distribution are for some reason deciding to stay home on a day of the highest demand because they can't increase the going rate more than 5%,

This is covered in the article:

>...But no such mass movement of resources to their highest valued use took place. North Carolina had an “anti-gouging law,” which made it illegal to sell anything useful at a price that was “unreasonably excessive under the circumstances.” This had been widely interpreted to limit price increases to around 5% or less. Each instance of violation of this law could result in a fine of up to $5,000. So, ice that happened in Charlotte, stayed in Charlotte. Why drive three hours to Raleigh when you can only charge the Charlotte price, plus just enough for gas money to break even?

>...So in your example, there isn't an issue getting ice for your insulin because of rationing _and_ you didn't have to pay a premium for it.

In the particular example I gave, it wouldn't help if people are limited to the amount they can buy - in an emergency situation like that, when there is no electricity, the demand for ice will be far higher than the local supply. The goal should be that the limited supply goes to the most valuable uses and that there is an incentive to increase the supply from other areas. In the long run, it would be even better if the local supplies of goods was more resilient to a natural disaster.

As I wrote:

>...In the long run, high profits during a shortage also mean that suppliers in general will be incentivized to keep a larger stockpile of goods that have a good shelf-life since they know they will be able to make good money the next time there is a shortage (more than the storage costs). (Or the potential for high profits will incentivize spending money to be more flexible in production in case demand increases for a short time.)
If you are going to literally make it illegal to try this, then you better have a government be willing to spend its tax dollars on creating a stockpile - when the pandemic started we saw that all the talk of the national stockpile the federal government supposedly had was greatly exaggerated.

>...your first citation is from a far right think tank dedicated to the removal of government influence on all aspects of life, and the second is a polling of economists connected to a specifc branch of economics known to be rife with groupthink.

You don't need to stoop to trying to poison the well with ridiculous comments like the above. If you have a point to make, then make it. Shallow dismissals are against the guidelines of this site.
Definitely matches my experience. Maybe it relates to the reasons why one drink - I did it because I felt like I was my real self when I was under the influence, and because drinking alcohol was the only conscious activity in my repertoire to ease my anxiety. So what was my experience of giving that up? A bunch of deep shit because I felt disconnected and anxious. Sure, at least I wasn't hungover, but instead of the usual highs and lows, it was a droning monotony of feeling like shit.
I suppose you'd be better off staying away from them anyway.

CCL was a hugely popular implementation for a long time. One of its main strengths was extremely fast compile times, and very predictable performance/assembly. The runtime also had a lot of nice configuration options.

I think its usage has declined a bit since development of CCL has slowed down.
The vast majority of bank accounts offer abysmal interest rates. And holding a stable coin is nothing like a bank deposit its like holding cash in your wallet, you and only you have control over the coin. And there are opportunities to "stake" the coin and earn an interest rate.

The primary reason for delays between buying crypto and actually receiving it is your bank. Not the exchange. Your bank is fucking around with your money and not sending it to the exchange immediately and even after they send it they have the ability to reverse the transaction, so the exchange needs the guarantee the money will not be taken from them.

The rest of your comment is just nonsense. Tether is a cryptocurrency I don't even understand how you could argue its not. You should look into all the laws traditional banks break using your money too.

Why did you choose this over WP? Or was WP not even considered as a candidate? I mean the ecosystem of WP seems to be a magnitude greater.

A third path would be to frame the addition of solid state LiDAR as purely an enhancement to their existing cameras, framing it as a camera upgrade instead of a new separate sensor.

Ask HN: How can I “prune” my omnibar matches to the longest subURL I want?
Consider:

https://www.abc.net.au/

and

https://www.abc.net.au/news

and

https://www.abc.net.au/news/justin.

My question is twofold:

1) is it even possible to prune the history of omnibar searches in Chrome, such that the LONGEST url match is the "top" match, not the prefix?

2) if you wanted to describe this problem in a search in google, how would you write it?

I ask 2) because these kinds of meta-questions can be extremely hard to compose, without matching ludicrous numbers of unrelated questions.

"prune search to longest match omnibar history chrome"

Was actually not a bad hit, at least contextually right in some ways.

on a mac, the specific recipe which works (shift-DEL to prune terms from history DB in the local instance) was in this 1st page search, but buried. And of course, much harder on mobile devices.

This seems an under-documented tool.

I think "structural editing" is a better way to talk about it. You manipulate code as units of S-expressions. You don't type parentheses so much as you create and modify (trees of) S-expressions. So things like unbalanced parentheses or improperly indented forms are not possible since there's no way to create them in the first place.

In a somewhat vague sense, the "units of editing" are not characters.

There are some videos on YouTube demonstrating ParEdit and SLIME.

It's just a generic DNS packet parser, it has no any resolving logic (or it is not used). For learning the resolving process, it is a perfect combo.
I changed the title, as the original was misleading and clickbaity: "Elections Canada: 205,000 mail-in ballots were not counted".

The original reporting this is based on is by Blacklock’s Reporter [1] which looks like a better source, but unfortunately it's behind a login/paywall.

[1]: https://www.blacklocks.ca/205000-ballots-not-counted/

---

PS: I found this older article [2] which covers the same issue. Apparently, if my understanding is correct, this number (~1/6 of the mail-in ballots) is much better than the 2019 election [3]. I guess that is something you could expect. Also, I'm not sure what a cancelled ballot means. Does it include the case when someone simply forgets to return the ballot?

[2]: https://www.mapleridgenews.com/news/1-in-6-mail-in-ballots-n...

[3]: Ibid. "Elections Canada says there is typically a gap between the number of mail-in ballots that go out and the number that come back every year. In the 2019 federal election, only 55 per cent of the domestic mail-in ballots and 61 per cent of international mail-in ballots were returned on time. The remainder were either returned late or not at all."
Arms race: help evolve 802.11bf with deep understanding of risk management. Sell souped-up localization and CSI countermeasure devices, e.g. for industrial laboratories. Work with two celebrity neighbors on a sanctioned, comedic public demo of seeing through home and business walls, in advance of Wi-Fi 7 launch. Publicity will mean a larger market for both attack and defense products. If it's done early enough, it could materially influence the WiFi Sensing standard and thus devices racing to be the first to support not-yet-official WiFi 7.

As I like to say, Lisp's reputation precedes it more so than any other $TECH.
Lisp projects also tend to keep the dependency list short.

In the best case scenario, once the foundation is laid and the project has momentum, you end up with what feels like a language finely tuned to express solutions to problems in your domain.

In other languages, you may reuse useful routines but it's not as powerful. Additionally, as the dependencies are added the interactions between them can become a real headache.

What's interesting to me is that for some problems Lisp feels like a cheat code and it goes exactly the way I just described. For other problems it feels like a weird old language with a lot of parens. Perhaps I'm just not good enough at Lisp though.

In addition to it being a historically popular implementation, from the MCL days, there was a period of time when SBCL was still pretty rough while CCL was mature and performant. They've swapped places IMO in the past decade or so partially due to the excellent work by the SBCL developers while CCL has been less active over the same timeframe.

This is awesome. My word was cleam though. That was hard.
We humans often roll a stop sign (hopefully at a lower speed than 5.6mph) because we are impatient and because we have quite a lot of faith in our general intelligence and situational awareness to be able to make a reasonable call in these situations.

Still we often get this wrong and somebody gets hurt.

A computer is not cursed with our human impatience so why program it in?
But more importantly the computer has none of the general intelligence and situational awareness that a dim human has, and they won’t for a long time.
I believe the source is available on github and the team accepts pull requests. Single user license is free.
I hear people say this but I haven't even desired to use a !g for several years now (good riddance). I wonder if it is for certain types of tech.
I’ve easily built hundreds of WP sites and Gutenberg makes me sad. Anyone raving about the block editor has clearly never used one of WP’s paid page builder plugins like Beaver Builder and Elementor, they’re in a whole different league. You of course can continue using these plugins, but the absolute chasm in quality separating these plugins and Gutenberg highlights Automattic doesn’t have the technical or design know-how to push WP forward. And with WP being my bread and butter, that’s a little scary.
I love OSMAnd too and used it in places where Google Maps was subpar, e.g. in India or places in the middle east. But also all over Europe when roaming data was still expensive and recently when I crossed Canada east to west by car. The benefit of the map data coming from the open street map community paid off massively where there was little commercial interest for Google to map the area in detail.

I also love that you can edit and add POIs to OSM right from within OSMAnd.

On a side note: If you like to improve details of OSM, have a look at Street Complete, a gameified app to add details of your area to OSM. One of the tasks is to check/provide opening hours of nearby facilities.
Niche? They are both well-known successful unicorns.

As for why you would choose them over WordPress, please just read the conversation. I was replying to somebody who had already tried to start with WordPress and gave up on it.
IIRC, you are right. But it works beautifully.

Except, I’m realizing it just now, it’s maybe why LibreOffice looks so bad on my Mac.
> I didn't know chrome offer multiple profiles. I wouldn't even know how to use them. Do you mean signing in with different google accounts?

It can be a Google account or it can be a local account, both are treated the same.

> For firefox, you would type it in the run box under windows from the start menu.

In Chrome you don't have to know to leave the browser and run a magic command, you just click the profile icon built right in the browser. When you do it has stuff for managing the current profile as well as adding new profiles. If you add a new profile you can switch right from the browser window. It also creates the separate shortcuts to launch straight to the profile on the desktop and names them based on the profile. Part of creating a profile is it gets a unique theme automatically (or you can pick one of course), it's not something the user has to think ahead about or implement manually. This is all pointed out on the initial out of the box experience walkthrough as well as by in browser tooltips and descriptions. It'll also default to the profile selection window on a generic launch (e.g. another app triggers a page load) rather than require you follow any of these special shortcuts manually.

For some visuals I created a quick local profile: https://imgur.com/a/5nQhh3K

> Whatever plugins or bookmarks or changes to the toolbar will help me tell this isn't my profile. If I haven't customized why would I care this isn't my profile.

Remember most people don't use plugins, on top of the whole "you don't need to do anything for the profile to differentiate itself" difference. The bookmarks bar is also off by default. And even if there are minor differences it's a backwards way of telling which profile a window is in - the window should tell me the profile obviously, not just my memory of the settings for a profile and matching them to a Window. Worth noting profiles are also differentiated with the user profile picture in the taskbar button overlays and any shortcut icons automatically so this integration extends even outside of the browser window without effort of the user.

> If I am an average user am I using this feature?

I'd say most by percentage aren't. The most common use cases are kids with personal and school Google accounts or adults with personal and work Google accounts but even then it won't be every user. The number of multi-profile users on Chrome as a percentage of user population is significantly higher than on Firefox because of all of the above though.

I love Firefox to death but the profile UI is absolute garbage which is just crazy considering they are the ones that made all of the excellent UI around containers.
This actually happens in Japan, and until now I assumed it was not advertising.

Without reading the paywalled article, is this because the US Health System sucks compared to most other wealthy countries? Don't get me wrong, if you've the money there are doctors in the US who do amazing things, but I'm talking about the Health System overall.

I recall the panic over that back in in the day, IIRC it was near-visible infra-red, not UV - if you didn't have sufficient IR filtering over the sensor, were using flash (and the flash included a decent amount of IR), and the subject was wearing something thin, you'd potentially get unintended skin detail with the IR reflection.

As I understand more or less a solved problem on modern cameras such as on your smartphone... instead of a bulb you tend to have white LED for your flash that doesn't really give off useful (any?) IR, and there's better/more consistent IR filtering on the sensor.
Yeah, it's bad for OpenSea, and another example that the achilles heel of web3 are the (centralized) web interfaces on top of it.

In this specific case, the NFT owners had, at some point in time, listed their assets for sale on OpenSea. The issue was that you could re-list (e.g., at a higher price) and the transition would be stored in OpenSea's off-chain db, but not complete the on-chain cancellation (supposedly because the user didn't want to pay gas fees, and/or the UI was confusing).

OpenSea would show the transaction cancelled/relisted in their UI, but the on-chain contract still had the item for sale using the original price. If you know where to look, you could skip OpenSea's UI and interact with the contract directly, thus yielding a handful of Bored Apes for a fraction of their current price.

Clearly folks exploited a loophole, but at the same time "code is law" and all of that, and clearly OpenSea's fault for not preventing this from happening in the first place, so it doesn't surprise me they are stepping in and covering the costs.
