I wonder how many people glancing at the landing page have browsed over to the download page, and discovered that this a paid font? To the tune of $69 to $239, depending on the options you want.

If this were something really revolutionary, then okay. But this looks like every other Bitstream Vera Sans Mono variant, just tweaked to be a touch wider than Fira Code or Jetbrains Mono. But half of the fonts on https://www.programmingfonts.org are Bitstream Vera Sans Mono variants, a touch wider than Fira Code or Jetbrains Mono. And they're all open source and free.

> Not a single tx has been reverted on BTC network in 13 years (well, except of couple of early bugs that caused network split)

The article mentions that the networks tends towards centralization, at which point the guarantees BTC was supposed to provide no longer hold. You can say that the big miners still won't do it for $REASON, but the point stands that it's not irreversible nor uncensorable, due to this centralization.

> No one is able to prevent a tx from going out, as we just witnessed - FBI wasn't able to revert a $3.6B theft transaction without getting hold of private keys.

The money stolen is not relevant, the budget they were willing to spend to retrieve the funds is. I don't think this was in the billions as you implicitly state. Preventing the transaction from being mined is also completely different from reverting it several blocks after it has been mined.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Network#Limitations you still need a "watchtower" to ensure things won't go wrong, so if you consider everything, it's not completely free. I don't want to guess what the exact price will be because it's a futile exercise (we'll see soon enough if it gains traction), but this suffices to show that you're sweeping some costs under the rug.
Modern phones already have DRM running in TrustZone, even if you flash a custom Android build. pKVM is actually better in that regard as the DRM will be moved to a protected VM under Android's control, so you could choose to disable it on a custom OS.

Okay but the thing about torture is, in order to be torture you must be prevented from leaving the situation. Are they literally trapping people in their homes? No. You just really really don't like them and so are trying to delegitimize their protest with use of loaded language. Torture means things like having your skin pealed off or your fingernails removed. Torture means things like being imprisoned and repeatedly being made to feel as though you are drowning. Constant honking must certainly be annoying! But as far as I'm aware, protests are supposed to be uncomfortable and annoying. This is not torture. It's like terrorist. The word terrorist now means somebody did a thing that the government doesn't like. Are we going to do this same thing with torture? Because I'm not here for it.

It doesn't work quite like that, but yes, our knowing that we might be suffering from this illusion can make us feel even worse.

I don't think it's really about my self-worth. I'm happy with who I am. I often talk about how truly fortunate I am to find something I like doing that happens to pay really well. I know several teachers who are smarter and harder working than I am, but the job market doesn't smile as much on their career.

It's further harder when you actually have been the imposter. In my case, I went to a small school and was one of the smartest people there. I worked for two small companies and was their little rock star. Then I landed a job at a company that was made of rock stars. Try as hard as I could, they were more experienced and probably more talented - I just couldn't keep up. A year and a half in, they told me that wanted to try filling my position again. They were super awesome, let me stay on while interviewing, gave me great references, and I found something more at my skill level. Still, I keep wondering about where I fit in at my current job.

I think the Peter Principle can apply to everyone. I also got promoted until I reached my level of incompetence. Fortunately, most of us reading Hacker News are in an industry where jobs at every level are plentiful. It's not too hard for us to take a step back if we need more time to prepare for a higher level. It still just hurts to have to fail, job hunt, and be the new person again.
It is trailing 170 P/E, obviously trailing earnings are not so useful for high growth companies but question is Tesla really a high growth company any more?

I was going to say basically this.

Let me add a thought. You manage something that needs managing, that is to say, problems. If you see people as problems, then you are the problem.
I would love to know as well, because I’ve been looking at MirkoTik as well. They are basically the only European manufacturer of network gear I’ve been able to find, for “consumers”.
I have a pretty simple system. It starts with social media -- a bunch of my friends are still there (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc).

For the ones that aren't there, I put a recurring item in my calendar to remind me of their birthday. Then I text them on their birthday.

The last step is going through my text message history, which is conveniently ordered by last contact. I skip down about two months, and then work my way down the list pinging people I still want to keep in touch with, either with something relevant (how's the new job, how's school) or generic (hey it's been a while how are you?).

That pretty much gets me everyone. I usually do a deeper review of my other contact methods (email, niche chat apps, etc) once a year around Christmas to make sure I didn't miss anyone and wish them a happy new year and try to get their number so they are in my text list instead.
If that were the case that too much money was printed, then one might expect broad economy wide price inflation, but instead it's really focused only in areas that have supply bottlenecks.

But too much money printing wouldn't cause the major auto manufacturers to majorly underproduce less than they typically do, and it wouldn't cause energy to go up. Of the 5.5% "excess" points of inlfation, the breakdown of cost areas is:

2.1 vehicles (of which 1.6 is used cars)

1.8 energy

0.7 food

0.6 housing

And except for food, there are clear supply bottlenecks there. For food, beef farmers have been complaining about monopsony from meat processing plants for more than a decade. There's likely a small amount of rentierism going on there. As there is for the housing crunch. (Though housing also takes a long time to respond to changes in demand patterns, such as the one induced by the pandemic)
not just speed limit signs. Mile markers, exit numbers, distance signs. There's millions of them all over the US. It would cost unfathomably (lol) large amounts of money to do that, and for arbitrary reasons.

Thank you. I do system admin (mainly Linux) and programming. I never describe myself with the term "devops" because it seems to mean everything and nothing. The tools for system administration have proliferated and mostly improved with servers in the cloud, but infrastructure and security and deployments got more complicated at the same time.

Confusing learning a tool with knowing when and how to use it properly plagues both the system admin and programming fields.
I'm a fan of the exit review. Something that is no longer being used (for any reason) and there is now perspective. I first saw bunnie do it at https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=242 quoting the first two paragraphs:

> I think it’s time to start a new kind of gadget review: the exit review.

> Gadgets always seem to arrive on the scene with a lot of splash and hype, but rarely do you find an article telling you how the gadget fared in Real Life. The Exit Review is something I’m going to try doing every time I retire a major gadget of mine; the idea of it is to reflect upon how the gadget performed over its duration of service. Of course, reviews like this are all hindsight, so they don’t drive sales — which probably explains why nobody does them, because there’s no money to be made doing them. However, as a design engineer I think there are lessons to be learned through reflection, and as a consumer I believe that apples don’t fall to far from the tree — a good gadget maker will get my business again, and a bad one will never see another dime from me.
Terminus is a great one, but right now I'm partial to the Atari ST 8x16 font.

Super yachts are not pushing the boundaries of what is fundamentally possible and contributing to the opening of a new frontier or building infrastructure that helps us more profoundly understand our universe.

That's a distinction people are really missing here. Super yachts aren't doing that much to push anything forward besides super yachts. Maybe a bit of interesting tech for ocean going vessels gets prototyped there but nothing anywhere close to the magnitude of what SpaceX and Blue Origin are doing.
The Science of Tokenomics
Nitpick: "single shot" and "bolt action" are a contradiction in terms. A "single shot" rifle has no magazine, only a single cartridge can be loaded at once. A "bolt action" rifle has a magazine to hold more than one cartridge, with a bolt that the user manually actuates to eject a spent case and load a new cartridge from the magazine.

If actually proposing legislation such distinctions would be important. For an internet discussion what you meant is clear enough.
They could be logged, but unlike blockchain currencies they aren't logged right now which means historical analysis is impossible. And logging isn't inherent to cash. The transaction chain would be broken by anyone who doesn't keep a log. On top of that, the scope of who can see the logs would be limited.

I guess the assumption here is that retailers and the like would be compelled to provide that info to the government, but I'd still prefer that over the info going to absolutely anyone who wants it (since "the government" is a subset of "anyone").
I'm a VPE at a small-ish org (30 devs or so, currently), and I regularly skim through commit history and keep an eye on various technical chat (we're fully remote, so there's lots of chat). I don't think I spend more than 15 mins per week looking at git history, but that's very informative -- it is not enough to make robust decisions but it is good enough to spot issues once in a while. (I have written my fair share of code in the past, so that helps.) So it's like going to a book shop, reading two pages from a book and deciding whether I like the style or not.

Your link doesn't describe anything as "illegal weapons." It just says "long guns" and "handguns" which are both pretty broad terms that undoubtedly encompass guns that are legal in Canada.
An open S3 bucket is a huge red flag that this feels state manufactured. Most people aligned with this protest probably possess the technical chops to know to do better.
Get busy. Throw yourself in, over commit, offer to help. You'll be too busy to get caught up in it.

That's not a solution, but it is a treatment. Because you can't fix it over night.

For treatment 2 thinking exercises help me:

* Remind myself it's their problem if I'm the wrong guy for the job. Your boss/client/coworker will soon say something. And if they do you can't fix it. And if not then there is nothing you can do so why worry.

* Just get good enough at one thing to show one person how it works. Then remember that feeling of teaching someone else: the opposite of imposter syndrome.
That reads like corporate doublespeak to me. It just so happens that their managers said they all have to return to the office. Another article says they are adopting a hybrid approach which will bring more employees back to the office. So probably both.
A mentor of mine got her start working with a Big Giant Brain as his assistant - he only programmed by reading fanfold paper output and writing his code down. She would type it up, run it, and then bring the output back for him to analyse.

Strict adherence to this principle would not allow the language to evolve and improve.

If the mainstream were aware how much better advert-less browsing is, by using adblockers on Firefox mobile, that would probably solve the problem.

> GPS and live traffic data are both "route me to X". I don't think people really have another use case for either, although in some cases the "route me to X" may include "X is a close gas station" or "best route is to wait 45 minutes before leaving".

None of this is true.

> Do people really choose new restaurants while out (unless on a road trip)?

Yes, very often. Maybe I'm at the pub with my partner and we decide to get dinner somewhere. I'll use reviews to find something. It's a very very common use case.
What is easy here? In Chrome, on macOS, it's command-` to switch windows and command-shift-m to open a new window in with a specific profile.

Also, links always open in the profile that is currently in the foreground. Is that possible in Firefox? Last I heard it isn't, but I haven't checked in a while.
Agreed, these are the macro-level events that really drove user adoption. The narrative (especially the Mr. Robot thing!) are totally out of proportion to their actual impact on user adoption and aren't the all-or-nothing tests of credibility or integrity that people are suggesting they are.
>Why is Firefox losing marketshare

very simple answer, because Mozilla doesn't control the infrastructure that runs on 80% of smartphones in the world and ships Firefox as the default browser.

It really has nothing to do with the bespoke features that people on HN pay attention to. Firefox doesn't control any platform and defaults matter. There's a reason Google pays them a gazillion dollars to be the standard search engine, which you can change with one click. It's also why Safari is still going relatively strong.
Oh, so the 'debunking' is not on whether or not an attempted mass murder/arson occurred, but that there is no "direct linkage" between the occupation and the crime.

What that likely means is that they don't know who the people in the video are. It seems pretty likely to me that it's related to the occupation, especially since there was a 'confrontation' earlier that day with residents of the building. It's not like buildings are burnt down in Ottawa every day.
there's not really "smaller than an ounce" that is commonly agreed upon, so milliliters for liquids and milligrams for solids wins out by default.

Same thing with manufacturing. Most places switched to being able to do metric measurements by the 80s, but for older parts it's still in "thou" and other metric sounding divisions of inches.

Drug dealers on the other hand talk about eighths and teenths, though. But everyone knows that a nickel is 5 grams. Both literally and figuratively.
> What is one single reason to use Firefox?

I have many reasons for using Firefox.

However the one reason that instantly pops into my mind is containers. I can easily have multiple "accounts" without mucking around with multiple browser profiles. This alone is worth it switching from Chrome to Firefox for me.

Considering the author of groff became the SGML expert, with SGML supporting custom syntax parsing ranging from troff-like line commands all the way to markdown or Wikimedia syntax or subsets thereof precisely for unifying ad-hoc syntax, and SGML the basis for the HTML vocabulary from which these want to run away, I'd rather say tech is re-invented in generational circles.

I'll definitely add such a feature soon. Even if things don’t break - waiting a minimum of 6+ months or 50—100 minimum uses really makes a review relevant. Recurring reviews could be a good way to track the whole lifecycle of a product.

After every year, the reviewer will receive an automatic reminder like "hey there, did anything break or deteriorate?"

Letting the user set the frequency of reminders could make sense since it will vary between product categories. In addition, if the user has nothing to add, a simple click on a button "Condition unchanged" should be enough.
