Many people do actually do the division in their head, I certainly do and not just for the trivial divisors either. In fact, I would find it odd if any of my mathematically, scientifically, or financially inclined friends did not do it in their heads, at least for quick calculations, to the point where I actually find your position that people would just memorize it instead of calculating it kind of shocking. It is truly amazing how people can have such different life experiences.
Fair point.

Clarifications: no, using the tool directly is not a problem for us.

"Everyone" - appreciate your question and not guessing :-) I meant everyone at my company. That phrasing maybe speaks to my mindset :-D Basically I really mean legal and those in charge who might listen to legal over tech.
Have you ever looked at Reddit? It's a huge site with a wide array of interests, with lots of technical niches, gaming communities, minority safe spaces and so much more variety. You won't find racism on r/lisp.
The features alone are useless without an ecosystem.

What industrial usage?

This would amount to a even worse cookie banner. I hope the EU has learned something from the embarrassment that is cookie banners.
the wikipedia article on the Rod of Asclepius tells the story of the parasitic worms, so while the GP perhaps should not have mentioned Caduceus, he's referring to an actual story associated with the medical symbol.

And in the age of Covid, perhaps the Caduceus "ancient and consistent associations with trade, liars, thieves, eloquence, negotiation, alchemy, and wisdom" is just perfect for the state of medical science and public health and laboratory gain of function experiments, horse dewormers, and mRNA vaccines which turn out to be no so much like the vaccines we're used to.
The solution to that is QUIC over IP, i.e. removing UDP from the stack.

Interesting idea. However I once turned my most up-voted reddit post into a blog post and no one gave a shit. So that's my anecdotal counter.
Add this to the list of how hard it is to break the Silicon Valley (and their political allies) hegemony.

Not only do you have AWS, App Store bans, email provider bans (mail chimp banned babylonbee for a while although claimed it was algorithmic), you also have to contend with building a product that is going to be attacked by hackers the second you are moderately successful.

The only fair player I can see in this is cloudflare, at least they have some sort of principle of being an infrastructure provider and not siding with a certain political side.

Good point let's factor that in. Let's say 4% per hear or 1,500 Bitcoins are lost per day as of 2020 (crappy sources but let's use them as an example) (1)(2). That puts us at 547,000 Bitcoin lost per year compared to 350,000 from scams across all cryptocurrencies.

No, I get it. It might just be that mental division is a weakness of mine that I should brush up on.
I wouldn't say it's "waning". This is more an over-estimation of their own self-importance by specifically Facebook. They're a net negative on society. If they left Europe I'm sure most European leaders would say "please do, and thank you".

If for example Microsoft would have said the same thing the reaction would have been very different.
The backwards compatibility remains a huge feature of DOS and Windows.

Sure some new games are cross-platform and work in Linux and Mac, but for anyone who's been gaming for awhile, most of your favorites are PC, and a lot of 'em will still work. A few of the ones that used oddball custom memory management near the end of the DOS era won't work on a modern system. And some that used custom VB controls in the Win-95 era. But a surprising number overall still do.

One that amuses me is SST.[1] Written in the late-60s to early 70s on a mainframe, then ported to PC in the early 90s, still works just fine in Windows 10 (last updated in 2019). Still has a teletype terminal style interface, but also it still just works. And sure, a lot of that was due to the porting done in the 90s, but a lot is also just due to the basic stability of the platform.

That's a game my dad might've played in school, and my grandson could play now.

I wonder how much software written today will still 'just work' in 30+ years? Sure, we can use virtual machines and emulators and such, but without that, will anything written today still 'just work' the way old software does? So much now is constant churn with monthly/weekly/daily updates and dependencies and everything - constant maintenance to keep it running. So many network dependencies even for things that don't need them. I'd say most of us aren't really building software to last.

And if nothing is built to last, that great value of backward compatibility and longevity is lost. Which is kinda sad.

As if the whole platform was specifically built for that event.

Where does the law say that hacking websites you don’t like without their permission is OK then?

I use Gephi a good deal to visualize connections between tables and schemas in a messy production MySQL database, mostly with the aim to stop people (read: consultants, junior developers, managers trying their hand writing SQL) from developing ad hoc duplicate tables for their own niche purposes.

Gephi lets me show how this kind of table bloat happens over time and helps explain performance degradation.
Fortunately, on gliders where specific knowledge of airflow over your plane is very important, yaw string become pretty much standard equipment, traditionally applied with electric tape.

Though imagine rewatching after years scenes from The Final Countdown, and noticing that the F-14 have your well known yaw strings installed in very familiar way (and finding out later that it was unauthorized, but very common, modification known to increase accuracy heavily).
I don’t think this is considered a normal tourist trap, but it doesn’t match any of your stated interests.

I don't understand what the product is from the webpage nor from the video - so does the website stay online and hosted on your server? Can I download it and run it myself on premise via docker or something?
Yeah. And to take it one level further, a language that let's you lock up / burn a coin in any fashion other than a very explicit Burn() command is equally reckless. The platform needs to provide guardrails for developers too.
Your question is not that clever. Obviously this like everything else is better resolved without "the institutions".
> you won't do the long division in your head, so clearly, you'll have to memorise

I think this assumption is false; at least for me, doing these types of divisions in my head is doable, I think we actually had to be able to do these types of calculations mentally in elementary school.

Eg in your examples you say 72/2 = 36, so then 72/4 must be 18.

I think the number 72 was chosen specifically for this property, that it divides easily for common values of interest rate (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 all divide cleanly).
its called being based
Maybe also not a bad thing, given that the real return on those assets will likely be negative for years to come.
I was one of the technical guys on a Danish standardization project called OIO - Offentlig Information Online (offentlig means governmental in this case) - at one time they decided that we needed 'titles', so I and one other guy decided we would call ourselves XML Architects as a piss-take on another part of the project. Got the business cards and everything, but ADHD me lost mine.
I'm not sure that gives the right impressions of what's to come. Can you really imagine the likes of Amazon, Google, and Microsoft - who have such diversified income streams, and who provide the technology that underpins the vast majority of business in the modern world - to simply go bust?

I believe it's more likely that they'll be broken down into smaller companies as a result of regulatory pressure.

Not sure about Meta, though
Crypto can never manage that because the infrastructure running it, the power needed to do that and all the people using it are in countries already.
I don't understand, you were looking for olive-based recipes and were happy to find a description of spaghetti with oil and garlic, with no recipe in sight?

I believe the GP was looking for specific cooking advice, while the wikipedia article you link to as expected, simply describes a dish in relatively vague terms. It happens that aglio e olio is such a simple dish that you don't really need more than that simple description, but if you were looking to bake a cake or cook a boeuf bourgignon, I don't think turning to wikipedia for help would be wise.
I am aware of this one and I think it’s an interesting case. I think 99% of people wouldn’t have an issue with this and stormfront probably does have people actually breaking the law.

I also think it’s interesting how prince basically said - this is the ceo making a personal decision in the shower. That honesty was good, and at least it showed that prince was torn about it and admitted this is very hard and he will try and be an infrastructure provider in the future.

This is much better than the coordinated attack of a faceless bureaucracy of tech companies like with Parler
Yes, I also was there in those years. Perl snippets were shared by everyone, but almost nobody knew how they work, much less how to tweak them to adapt to new scenarios or how to contribute to a library. I remember a snippet that read a FASTA file and counted the GC%, but it had an error somewhere that made it fail when it reached the 1001 sequence. Nobody was able to find the error, they just splitted the FASTAs in smaller files. Until someone wrote a less esoteric Python script, and the Perl snippet died.
I find when I have a need for certain knowledge to solve an interesting real-world problem I'm working on, that drastically improves my ability to learn said knowledge.
Depends on what side of the AB test you’re on. If you clear your cookies, you’ll find that the default web interface forces you to login after a random delay or after a few clicks.
Right, platform specific. On FreeBSD, we have SO_REUSEPORT_LB for load-balancing.
Cortex-M7, actually! The STM32H7B0 is a surprisingly capable processor.

The main limitation of the Game and Watch platform is the lack of any standard external interface -- while the system has a USB port, it's only used for charging. I've seen a couple of creative solutions to the problem, but they all require some pretty significant soldering skills.
>There are no non-scam use-cases for blockchain that don't have better non-blockchain solutions.

This is a classic.
I can assure you that cryptocurrency has a use case, although you might not be interested in third world stories. You might be writing from a country where you are allowed to buy any currency you want. Maybe if you want to have euros, dollars, swiss francs, you name it, you can. In a bank account! It must be great living in a place [where people trust banks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corralito). You probably are not forced to earn and save money in a currency that loses it's value by 50% every year.

You are giving an opinion (and it's even plain wrong) without realizing how privileged and out of touch you are with the reality of a lot of people.
To me it seems like we haven't reinvented the same thing, but semi-adapted an existing process of communication to the technology available. It's almost like emoji's are the next step of pictograms, however they're mostly used to provide (extra) context to the existing form of commucation.

It's a bit like doing this:

"It was a very sunny day." <- regular sentence

"It was a very [sun emoji] day." <- same thing

"It was a very sunny day. [happy face emoji]" <- v3 pictos that (implicitly?) communicate extra context

"It was a very sunny day. [高兴]" <- same thing, but v1 pictos
If the rules were that restrictive, how did we end up the collateral murder video?
What is different from Retool ?
Hello - nice website! Draws you in well.

My standard questions as a coder for any tool like this are:

- how can I automate tests?

- how can I promote software up environments (using automation)?

- how can I use source control?

- how can I roll back a deployment?

Thanks!
Reminds me of tell-tales on sailboats which are similar bits of string attached to sails which give feedback about how you might need to adjust your sails to keep the wind moving over them smoothly.
At the risk of asking a really stupid question, is this basically "generics" for C?
There's actually a chat system / social network called iConji that tries to create a new language based on emoji-like symbols. I'm not sure how many users (if any) it has, but as an experiment it's interesting.

Do you have the same attitude about all the protests over the world over the last 2 years? Because all protest undermines democracy. Both BLM and vaccine protests.

That’s the point. Either you agree with both or neither
I’m not particularly interested in having a “principled” conversation about laws and their enforcement when those occupying my city are breaking far more serious laws and continue to go unpunished.

> but a lot of the people who have gotten rich off crypto are literally being called Nazis by those who oppose them.

Bullshit, show me where this is happening...
> I'm starting to see who the bad guys really are here..

There you go. Everything they don’t like is a Nazi and yet they are behaving like them and banning, breaching other people’s websites and anything that runs and crawls to this. It’s quite predictable, repetitive and boring to the point that the word has lost its meaning.

If GoFundMe was hacked, they would say that ‘it is a threat to our democracy’. I and many others would not like that to happen and hacking any service they don’t like is quite what an extremist would do. You can tell whoever did it, is not on anyone’s side here.

They can do it to anyone, even to companies like GoDaddy [0], which I’m sure when they got breached there were celebrations that the hackers really got the bad guys and everyone was happy with the whole situation. /s

Good work. I like that the game is contained within a single index.html file.
So interesting. Every other athlete would have sold this as a book.

Lots of wisdom. Not only on training but on life as well. It really shows, there is not shortcut but only hard, meaningfully work.

To everyone complaining about the website and the “mysterious” download button: He is a speed skater. Not a web designer. Give him a break. His name is just below the download button. If you would Google the name for 2 seconds you would know what this is about. He cycles 7hours per day, and you can’t spend 2 seconds to Google and just complain. You would not endure 2 seconds of his training.
Learning to operate in an adversarial environment should be an integral part of any crypto education.

So you need a testnet to debug your attacks?
> The major shortcoming of today's emojis is that they are too hardware dependent and not hand-writable.

> I suspect what most people want from a "modern" DOS would be something like this: a very thin API layer that contains OpenGL (or Vulkan), audio, and networking capability. As well as drivers for common USB devices and something that can read/write FAT/exFAT. But once you add all of that you realize it's nowhere near as lightweight as old DOS was and your app now has a thousand more responsibilities that something like the Linux kernel is currently handling for you.

I think people may be looking for something like a unikernel framework. Something like Linux is a lot of overhead if all you want to do is run a single program on a machine (virtual or physical).
You can measure a long term trend, even if it's overwhelmed in the short term by much larger changes, by tracking local maxima/minima. Suppose that a circuit's voltage is either increasing or decreasing by 1V per hour, and your measurements ranging from 90V-110V. To determine the trend, you ignore the increase/decrease from one measurement to the next, and wait for it to hit 111 or 89.
Possibly, but on the other hand, management usually sees this as a success story for HR ("Managed to fill every spot in days"), and a failure on the dev team ("The project slipped by months, despite getting all the people they asked for")
Ask HN: What real world problem does cryptocurrency solve?

Money laundering (real for some)

Reddit's API can't access their chat system, doesn't work well with their search function, and (like with their own web client) can't easily collect all of the comments from a long thread. Also, I expect they will eventually cripple it further or shut it down completely, like Twitter did.
Just to add: he has always said that after the Olympics he is retiring (at age 25). He has not confirmed it as far as I know, but he has hinted at it in interviews and also in this document. He basically took the long distances in speed skating by storm, and is now doing a massive mic drop.
I think that rather than celebrating or condemning this, we should prepare, both personally/emotionally, as well as a society, for what will happen when the inevitable occurs: totally censorship-resistant payments that even governments cannot meaningfully stop (only hinder/make more inconvenient). This has already occurred, so we know unambiguously that it is coming. In the next ten years they will be available widely to everyone who wants them who has uncensored internet access.

The integration of Mobilecoin with Signal is a good example. The wallets are pseudonymous, the chain has privacy built in, and it uses Signal's existing end-to-end privacy to arrange for coordinating payments between parties, such that the service has no idea what anyone's balances are or who is paying whom. You can't stop payments to anyone on the system without stopping the whole system.

Regardless of how you feel about Signal, or Mobilecoin, or Signal's integration with Mobilecoin: this is a demo of the fact that end-user-accessible private payments is technically possible. It's only a matter of time now until that future is evenly distributed to everyone who wants to use it.

You can, of course, think that Signal should be banned from the App Store. Perhaps it will be over this. People needing that functionality will switch to or augment with a platform that allows sideloading of apps. You can, of course, think that use of such completely unstoppable payment infrastructure should be prohibited as it eliminates existing government/legal control over who can pay whom and why. They could outlaw such payments, just as they successfully outlawed cocaine and speeding, but that doesn't stop them.

Fact is, though, it is now technically possible, and the only effective counters are aggressive censorship of apps that implement it (which is in short order any e2e encrypted messenger), or general internet censorship that blocks certain protocols like these sorts of p2p payment systems.

It's only a matter of time before these aren't going to be easily shutdown centralized websites.

What does the world look like, then? Is that okay? Is that terribly bad? What are the potential upsides? What are the failure modes?
It's already an approximation - you do not need to get precise with your division. Also - you should be able to do 72 divided by at least 2,3,4 (and estimate it for others), even by times tables/estimation and not long division.
I know HN has something against Blockchain. But there are some really smart people working on the idea of a permanent web.

For instance https://www.arweave.org/ is based on the concept that you prepay for 200 years of storage but storage cost is decreasing over time so it's also like a future option on advance of technology.

I guess people also know IPFS i just didn't see it get mentioned.

And also i hope everyone here who cares about this topic is donating to the Internet Archive which also a solution.

I think this is wrong. It's not free for Google or Apple to log data from their app stores/call logs. It costs massive amounts of storage, it costs training for employees on dealing with personal information, it costs engineering time and money to run the systems. It's absurd to say that it's cheaper for these companies to do this than not do it. They're making a decision to do it because it helps them make money (directly through monetizing the data or indirectly through running another service). I get where the author is coming from, I agree that privacy is important, but the thesis is wrong(for these examples, idk about the telcos one)
