On-chain data is basically useless when it comes to Bitcoin investors. The vast majority of people who hold Bitcoin for price speculation do so through an exchange like Coinbase or Binance. There the Bitcoin is just held in an exchange's wallet, commingled with millions of other customers, and the exchange holds a private record of each customer's individual balance. The exchange generates a wallet address for a customer only when they want to send crypto to their account.

It's the civil libertarians, criminals, and tech aficionados that hold Bitcoins in unhosted wallets. When there's on-chain activity for these groups, though, it's usually a transaction rather than a trade. They hold Bitcoin for the activities they can do with it, not for any hope of the price rising.
Very impressive product- I certainly applaud your efforts and agree that the price is competitive for what it is. You can even use ultra wide monitors at similar resolutions as a comparison point. (Though of course they end up way ahead in terms of ppd)

Yes, the cabling will handle it, but you'll need a media converter (e.g. [1]) for each device, so probably not a win for most use cases.

A) I call BS on "never". It's one thing to not consider them, but another to say never ever. And what does that say if he's truly never even read one?

B) This isn't something to be proud of, and certainly not something others should emulate. Ignorance isn't what makes you successful. (likewise, neither is millions of data points).

c) Business plans and balance sheets are still very useful and applicable, and fair to say they aren't everything.
> I am not sure how Sci-hub can get past this

Quite trivially, actually, thanks to the good old analogue hole: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30084193

All sci-hub would have to do in this case is download the same paper through three or more accounts (different institutions, networks, countries?) at three different times, rasterize them and keep the common denominator. If a pixel has no common denominator, they'd have to fall back to a default value. This is by no means a perfect method and it has its weaknesses and pitfalls, but the resulting PDF will be far less useful as a means to de-anonymize accounts using information from the PDF itself.

Publishers still have other sources of information to de-anonymize accounts if the multiple accounts/downloads aren't truly isolated from one another.

If you don't need more than 100mbps, you can run two parallel 10/100 connections per wire. There are dedicated splitters for this on AliExpress.
Dark stores have raised a lot of money during the pandemic.
It depends on what you are doing. For office/lab space, twisted-pair (Cat6 or better) is really compelling. You can wire an office/lab space and support both 1- and 10-Gigabit connection.

That being said, it's a good idea to do one of two things:

1. Run some fiber to a centrally-located faceplate in each space, with MT-RJ jacks (or something else, like LC).

2. Run a conduit (an inner duct) to each office/lab space, with a pull tape, so that fiber can be easily pulled through in the future.

I personally prefer #2, for reasons like this: We have a few buildings with fiber run into offices/labs, but the fiber run was multimode. That's fine if you want to connect to a switch in the floor or building network closet, but it's not going to be compatible with the inter-building fiber, which is all singlemode.

> Security theatre. If your browser is attacked by an 0day of any sort, or malware or whatever, it will have access to the shared credentials and information inside your browser.

Yes running a VM won’t protect against this threat.

Running a VM will pretty much eliminate that 0-day from infecting the host OS, where it could become a persistent threat and have access to a range of sensitive data.

This is not security theatre. You just have incomplete threat modelling here.

Reclining can be a nice way to take a break from weight and pressure on head and face. Which can require modding a headset, to pad a back-of-head knob, etc. And hmd thermals aren't optimized for reclined. But here, perhaps this compute unit might be made detachable?

Browser VMs are not the only option. Regular OS wipe/install is another, e.g. rotate between two dedicated browsing devices with native performance. One indicator of a compromised device is a reduction in perceived performance.

HP SureClick or MS AppGuard Edge is another level of complexity: every network connection and browser tab is a separate stateless micro-VM whose output is dynamically composited into a single display, with optional analytics of traffic and malware within each isolated micro-VM.

As for "I'm not important enough to be a target", some humans are on education or career paths to change that calculation. Some adversaries may see value in early access to up-and-coming targets. As the cost of targeting falls, the bar for "important enough" also falls.
s/(complex)|("complex") websites/complex web pages/g

Perhaps a better way to explain why "head-of-line blocking" is a problem for "complex" web pages is that this model of a web page is one where the page is built from various components. They could come over different connections or the same one. HOL blocking may only apply to the second case. Regardless, the HOL problem arises because the page is not deemed "complete" until all the needed resources have been retrieved. Further, one retrieval might need to precede another. This gives rise to this idea of "loading" a web page. Please wait... (for header bidding to finish)

This delay while a page "loads" was used to thwart competition as part of "Jedi Blue" as alleged in the Texas, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota and Utah v Google, LLC., based on internal documents produced by Google: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/ima...

The way I do HTTP pipelining does not require mutiple components to "complete" a page. There is no "loading". There is no header bidding. We treat a complex page as "simple". No external resources. No Javascript. No CSS. The process is simply a sequential downloading of one page then another, catenated them into one HTML file. Some HN commenters loathe this usage of HTTP because it is useless for building complex web pages and inserting resources hosted by third parties into the page, namely, advertising. It restricts the ability to create highly artistic pages. This type of web use is basic. Boring. Rudimentary. Efficient. It works consistently. It's fast. (Yes, even when we have to wait for one request to finish before the next one begins, it is still fast. Plus, we do not have to worry about putting the responses into the correct order. They come back ordered correctly.) Catenated HTML pages look great in a text-only browser. Plaintext information for rapid consumption. No ads. No BS.

If one is not building a "complex" web page, then HTTP/1.1 works well. As I mentioned I have not seen any proof that HTTP/3 is superior for this type of web usage. Until such proof is presented, I will be sticking with HTTP/1.1, which works on 100% of websites, not 8% of the top 10 million.

1. Market, then Business model/unit economics. The latter is less problem for VC-funded startups - they assume it can be optimized/fixed later.

2. In many places it's just hand-wavy. Many case studies, but no formal methodology how to do Build->Measure->Learn feedback loop.

3. The needs and desires at a particular time/situations. Personas don't work. For example the same person may want a luxury meal in one situation and a hotdog in another. See JTBD.

This has been happening to me for the last few months.

What gets me is that my email address is not even in the recipients list most of the time. Much of it was sent to my email userpart @aol.com and somehow I'm receiving it in gmail. It seems like if you send a valid gmail userpart with an AOL domain to a gmail server it's just not bothering to spam check.

The filter rule that's doing the best job of weeding out this spam is that the email doesn't have my email address in any recipient field, but does have an AOL version of it. I have no idea why gmail would be accepting these messages though.

How?

Facebook had a multimillion dollar business (yes, million, not trillion, but this was solid) in the form of FB marketplace. That was the one part of FB that was super useful and if they hooked it up with a secure payment system that worked with these kinds of transactions it could have been amazing. Instead they squandered it on ads, as they always do. The platform is now unusable.
Interesting. I wonder if this is because it has really sucked in the last 6 months and this is some sort of hail mary? I have 2 machines with the latest VMware Fusion on it. An iMac (Intel) and a Mac Pro (2013). Both ran all versions of macOS flawlessly until a few months ago. Big Sur and Monterey have massive issues. I couldn't install from scratch anything Monterey. I had random hangs, installing new macOS guests. Just so many issues. It forced me to try Parallels Pro and I found it works fine. I'm in the process of switching over.

> I think you'll find that Discord is lightweight, relative to the majority of users.

Sorry, Discord is nowhere near the concept of being lightweight. I use both web based and desktop IRC clients and none of them make my laptop sound like it's about to be launched into outer space. Sure, they may not have all the features that Discord offers but both of them let me talk to thousands of users, which is what I expect.

Again, third party clients would definitely help here but Discord is hostile towards them. Spotify is a good example in this case. Their website is just as sluggish but at least I can use several desktop and terminal clients and not worry about buying a better laptop or more RAM.

> This is internet moderation in a nutshell. If you're surprised and disappointed at this, administering internet communities probably isn't for you.

I'm more suprised and disappointed with Discord than this behaviour by people on the Internet. Their rules say that they don't allow spam and raiding servers and even when we provide detailed screenshots of people talking about raiding us and leaving spam on our servers, they don't bother the least bit about taking any sort of action. The only response that we got from them, just once, after sending them multiple reports was "ban them". No shit, I didn't know I could do that, thanks Discord.

Fair, investments too. That’s a recent trend.
That's a thing nowadays. Trevor Noah talked about this type of biased thinking recently.

Go to your local Indian store in April/May. That’s mango season in India. Get yourself “Alphanso” or “Kesar” variety of mango.

> I would say hedonism, but I think even that ascribes a ethical imperative to seek pleasure

Describing hedonism as an imperative is wrong IMO. Hedonism is a drive not a directive. Personally I think that it's the most accurate truth in the world that people do things only because they want to and not for any other reason[1]. I help others because doing things that I think helps others brings me pleasure, not actually because of anything else.

1 - Actions of course don't exist in a vacuum and often doing one thing precludes doing another. So certainly one might work a shitty demeaning job because they want to not starve to death on the street more than they want to not work that job. But a person doesn't give money to a homeless man if it doesn't make them feel good to do so.
> Problem is you're not the customer.

What do you mean by this?
Something like the Canon Cat. One big file with quasimodal search. Embedded images and probably arbitrary files. Maybe spreadsheet-ish features (ability to dynamically fill out data generated from code).
100% agreed with OP. I learned to turn off my camera and not look at the screen during these meetings. Live video is simply not there yet. Live audio however has existed ever since the early days of AT&T. I treat it as a group phone call.

If I am forced to turn on my camera the same thing applies, I don't look at the screen at all, unless if I need to quickly look something up. All my notes go on physical paper.

Ever since I made this adjustment (along with exclusively using email and refusing to use slack unless absolutely necessary) my workday has become much more pleasant.

Also, wow, this comment section is a trashfire.
> Why freak out over calling someone by their old given name. It doesn’t seem like something that should have this level of shame attached to it.

Because some people deadname people maliciously and so even if it was a mistake your action could be perceived as intentionally hurtful. People don't seem to maliciously use maiden names
Seems to be the reason. In Brazil, everyone knows what Facebook is. Very, very, very few people would know what is Meta.

How ironic is it that you need to move from a brand name to another because you have bad reputation, but still have to use the old name because even with bad reputation, it's still more trustable to handle money than your no-reputation new brand?

Caveat:

The date's range isn't always 24 hours exactly.

Leap seconds can make it slightly longer.

A daylight savings change makes the date's range 23 or 25 hours, depending on the direction.

Dates and times are crazy.
What's funny about this is that it exists, but owned by Xilinx... In the early 90's NeoCAD created multi-vendor P&R tools. Xilinx bought them, their software became basis for Foundation and then ISE.

Lattice also uses the NeoCAD tools for their FPGAs (at the time, they were AT&T's ORCA FPGAs). Basically Lattice Diamond and ISE are almost the same tool..

Good thing power isn’t primarily coal powered in most of the US ;-) In CA, that’s a total non-issue, for example.

No argument that their valuation has gotten way ahead of where they are, but the thesis is probably that it doesn’t take too many years of doublings to 10x, and companies that appear likely to decline take a significant discount to even what their current production would imply, because shareholdings are a claim on future earnings, not just where they are. Toyota really whiffed with its focus on hydrogen, frankly.

This is a pattern that has always been there but it seems to be a lot worse for some reason in the age of video conferences:

1. Business types: "Is {vague and half-baked feature idea} feasible?"
2. Engineer: "Why yes, it's not a perpetual motion machine so I think it should be feasible."
3. Business types: "Okay, great. So we can expect it to be shipped next week?"
4. Engineer: "Well first we would want more detailed specs and we're waiting for an API we need from another team and we have three other projects that we are finishing up to ship next week..."
5. Business types: "We need this feature next week so let's schedule another 45 minute meeting with 15 people to figure out how we can get this done by next week."
I’ve always defined a `comment` macro that expands to nil. It works in most situations but it returns a value
1. A simple text editor and a file system. Then I can create notes and folders at will, and mix in other file types like PDFs, emails, images, MS Office docs, whatever. I can search them, and if they’re in my iCloud I can view them from the phone or iPad, and edit them from iOS in a pinch (this is last resort).

2. I do pay for MacOS hardware since it has a good stable shell (compared to Windows, or Linux) and by “stable” I mean feature set and interface, rather than crashiness. But there’s not a single note taking app or feature I would pay for, and I’ve tried many. None are worth paying for in my view. They suffer from problems such as lock-in and portability, and while I will occasionally accept lock-in and non-portability, I need to get something really good in exchange. None of the paid note-taking apps even come close to offering anything that good.
