As a counter point outside of gaming, I used to work for a Fortune 250 100+ year old banking firm, and you were given no choice. Heck it was a miracle if you could get a developer machine that was more powerful than your business users got.
Have you lived in NYC or SF?

Yes, it's doable for nearly everyone to stash some amount of money away, sub-$1k or whatever.

However, if you're in the zone b/t $100k/yr and say $250k/yr, it's entirely possible to have your act together financially, and not be able to save a relevant amount due to the cost of basically existing, responsible student loans and a simple social life. The amount of money you're able to save vs the general cost of living means that your small savings is basically meaningless if something happens.

A normal lifestyle can turn into being the walking dead financially. You make a lot on paper, but one wrong event knocks you out. This is why '08 was especially ugly for NYC finance types, despite being firmly upper middle class.

What is the conspiracy? If Fed takes risk out of markets, risk premium disappears and value of assets expands. On top of cheaper money, of course.

It's been clear to Fed observers that they've pursued a policy driven with asset pricing front of mind.
I also have this issue. Have noticed it often happens when interacting in an external screen.
Agree with the reasoning here, so as a result I almost never use TDD: I pretty much always have to spike + iterate in order to come to a reasonable and clean solution for whatever I'm working on.. no matter how much I've tried to spec things out exactly how they should work, it always ends up being different. I'm also just not great at abstract vs. hands on thinking.

On top of this, I've also come to find unit tests to generally require more work and be less useful for identifying regressions than integration tests for the work I do. Maybe this is just a result of the kind of work I do though.
I have this on Intel MacBooks, and it seems like the issue is fixed by turning off Bluetooth. I think it happens when there’s an accessory that’s on the edge of Bluetooth range and struggling to stay connected, because I notice it most often when working at a table that’s about 20 meters from my desk (where I have a Bluetooth trackpad).
> as long as your master password stays secure (aka is not "hunter3")

You mean, the master password that many people reuse across sites and has been leaked into the darknet by breaches of other sites? Or if not leaked directly, at least some entropy about it probably has been.

I know these services don’t store the password in plain text, but it’s still stored in reversible format. That’s a juicy target.
If you have a significant rate of positive saving/investment from income surplus to current consumption, you are not living “paycheck to paycheck”.
I'm really curious about opinions regarding "how this ends..."

Seems to me that, if current trends continue, home ownership will basically become extinct; everyone will become renters. Home ownership will take the same path as music over the last 20 years, where we used to "own" music (CDs), now we just "rent" music through streaming services like Spotify. But that's just my 2-cents. I'm curious about others' thoughts.
Coinbase might, but there are plenty of other high-profile targets who are unlikely to perform any "taint analysis" on the contents of their wallet. Like I said, most wallet software doesn't even present UTxOs as distinct entities in the UI. Anything sent to that address is considered fair game to be used as an input for the next transaction.
I tried really hard not to come over as critical. I'm genuinely curious as someone that doesn't live in the US and is financially rather conservative. It wasn't meant as a value judgement at all.
>This is something people tend go to prison for.

Woah, didn't expect that one.

>Nope, you just misunderstand how sanctions usually work.

I'm certainly missing something.

My understanding is that bitcoin is specifically capable of bypassing sanctions:

https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-circumvent-economic-sanctio...

As has been proven in the middle east, venezuela, russia, etc.

https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2018/06/can-bitcoin-end-i...

Here's my understanding of sanctions: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/economics/10/economic-...

I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Though admittedly the one link touches on something real. Without sanctions, you kind of might open up the requirement for violence.

One of the most frustrating aspects of this is all the stuff that's buried in the backyard. I've had to painstakingly survey the property to find all of buried electrical and water pipes and I fully intend to pass the map on to the next owner.

If you just want to use your computer, Fedora Silverblue is pleasant and boring to use, and it doesn't break when you upgrade it (which takes 2 clicks and no further questions).

Behind the scenes it's eccentric and doesn't work like other Linux distros, but if you just want to use your computer, you don't care what's behind the scenes.

In particular, if you use the command line a lot, you'll need to become friends with https://containertoolbx.org/. Also, Silverblue's website is crap.

But it's the only distro I know of where I could give it to a non-technical user, say “when there's an update, yes you should install it”, come back 5 years later and expect them to be on a recent version that still receives security fixes. (Ubuntu sometimes asks scary questions during an upgrade.)

Stripe Treasury/Issuance Alternatives?
https://stripe.com/treasury

I was very excited about it, but turns out you can't use it for one of the most interesting use cases imo, personal banking.

Are there other platforms that would allow me to form a "virtual banking provider"?

- Being able to issue people cards for personal use
- Assign those cards to individual ACH-enabled accounts

I'd especially love a platform that doesn't require sales calls to get started since it seems like they tend to be tuned for established players.
I don't there's anything deliberately evil about it, it just happens to be effectively credentials harvesting - your auth cookie ends up on someone else's server. If they get compromised, all those HN accounts get compromised. Some people might be ok with that risk, if aware of it.
Best reference is the book "Immune" by Philipp Dettmer. This is discussed in-depth in the chapter "The Hygiene Hypothesis and Old Friends."
(perhaps) unpopular observation: as tough as the economy is, most people are just bad with money. I know so many people who would rather spend money on impulse than save it. It's not even necessarily their fault - why save if house prices are still increasing faster than you can catch up with? Is it any wonder young people generally just want to splash out on whatever keeps them happy?

I can't imagine the state of these houses one or two generations down the line.

I witnessed "smart" houses when my parents' blinders died in "down" position and had no manual override... or when the electricity was down and they couldn't start their wood stove because it needs electricity to work...

I think some people are just so drawn to tech that they end up in these kind of rabbit holes. It reminds me of my nerd friends in uni who spent weeks configuring their linux distro from scratch just to start over a few months later, they were showing me their new shiny shells, how the trackpad finally worked with X and Y drivers, how their tiling window manager was better than macos'.

I don't think the end goal for them is to have a useable thing, it's more about tinkering and probably some form of attention seeking.
Keepassxc and strongbox (iOS). Both are open-source, I manually sync with iCloud + local backups on each device.
maybe but i doubt they'd turn it down. what people think isn't always what people think.
Howdy, I used to run engineering at TradeIt. Just curious if any of y'all ever had any interactions with us back in the day, and if any of the brokerages mentioned us (I'm guessing they will either have really nice or really not nice opinions if they remember us, depending on the nature of our integration with them ). We had so many partners on both the broker and developer side, would be fun to know who picked up the torch after we dropped it. Feel free to DM if you ever want to chat about it.

Apple could ban that if they wanted to. Basically just require that as much functionality as possible should work without internet.

2500 in property tax (house is >100yrs old), and 3.125% interest on a loan w/$285k left on the mortgage.

Are you saying you can write off your state taxes?
Or even (non-political) articles like "some web site got hacked" or "a Tesla crashed somewhere" or "web site X is down". Unless there's real technical detail in such a story (which there hardly ever is when the story first comes out), it doesn't encourage meaningful discussion, only baseless speculation about what might have happened.
I don't think it would take quadrupling. It would take adding enough housing that housing quits being a good investment for investors, so they stop buying up houses and start selling the ones they have. I suspect we reach that point long before we quadruple the supply.

Why? Because investors would have more and more houses sitting empty. That would force a change fairly soon... wouldn't it?
That is correct and they apparently have the audits to prove it.

That said, it's not bulletproof. The chink in the armor is the browser extensions they all use. All it would take is somebody to slip some trojan code into one of the browser extensions and all of the sudden you have a few hundred million decrypted password databases which could trivially be uploaded to wherever.
4 states x 5 letters x 9 guesses is only 180 possible stoplight strings (of green/yellow/gray/black), if I'm doing my math right? So you could just pick 180 emoji and use four of them :)
Do lower cost loans in USD allow investors and speculators to make investments in markets outside the US?

Does artificially created demand in the US allow more consumption of commodities which inflates the price of home building in other countries?

Do artificially inflated US asset prices produce a wealth effect in other countries if people in those countries hold those assets?

I'm not sure what UK reserve holdings have to do with my comment but I don't know, I'm just some guy on the internet.
Paycheck to paycheck generally means that there is little money left for “discretionary” spending, and even assuming there is a large percentage of people who spend when they shouldn’t, 61% is staggering and can’t be explained by that reductive argument alone. Assuming it is correct, to be that high indicates more systemic issues in the system.
apologies for assuming such then. I probably should take a bit of a break from HN
Intel Goes Full XPU: Falcon Shores to Combine x86 and Xe for Supercomputers
So to be clear I generally agree w Amadeo's point, as I'd much rather see every chat network built on top of phone numbers die out like the widespread use of ICQ. Personally I'm much more interested in seeing something like Matrix take hold, because to me a Web-based model, with some sort of user@site identifier and, incidentally, the ability to deploy one yourself, are non-negotiables for anything I adopt as a primary communication spec in the future.

But this isn't about the use of Web-based services, this is about a text client. That's not going to just disappear anytime in the near future, it isn't reasonable to compare them to better chat networks when we're specifically talking about fallbacks, and whether they have incentive to implement a standard for it doesn't mean they should just have free reign to promote ecosystem lock-in for the basic functionality of a phone.

And do I also agree that the implementation of RCS has been less than stellar, but that's in part because of fragmented adoption among vendors, which is a problem that Apple is a part of.

(And speaking of ways that markets are worse because they don't have "incentives" to adopt standards, I forgot to mention their continued use of Lightning.)
Skip lists are so simple conceptually, I'm managing to make them concurrent, verifiable and even persistent.

I'm proposing why Wörd might have been rejected, not suggesting that the App Store review process is perfectly consistent.

The App Store reviewers are people, and some of them follow the rules more strictly than others. Perhaps Wurdle passed review because it got lucky and was paired with a permissive reviewer, or a reviewer who happened to be unaware of Wordle.
This is a good reminder that people in the US have such a myopic view of our own issues.

Hmm, how does this work ?

For example, my requirement is

- I need Redis as the cache

- I need a cron system to run my cron job

- I need also a PostgreSQL database

Any guide for this kind of deployment to DigitalOcean with this ?
You don't have to pay anything. You just have to acknowledge that your site might break and won't use any unimplemented functionality because the API that's enabled isn't stable enough to be enabled unconditionally yet. The same kind of thing as Chrome's origin trials.

Home Assistant is the Linux Desktop of consumer applications. Tons of power under the hood and it is not designed with the end user in mind. Home Assistant has accomplished something literally no one else has, including Google, Amazon and Apple. Home Assistant has the best integration across the most number of devices. It is also extremely reliable and you can run it without the cloud.

If you want easy to install, I would suggest using Alexa with Alexa compatible devices. Amazon has really made Home Automation easy.

I agree that Home Assistant documentation is really bad. If you are technical and want to stick it out with Home Assistant, there are Python bridges you can use to write your own custom code.
Amazing work. I'll be adding it to my daily routine.
agreed. consider this a thought experiment.

how can we gamify this so the rewards for playing the game of life is sustainable and not stackable without any base support like our current economic system. 'money' is a man made construct afterall. so lets create another one. this current economic one is standing on anthills..on one foot.
Ultimately I just wouldn’t use a password manager if it wasn’t synced with the cloud and didn’t offer simple browser integration. Sure, that increases the attack surface. But the alternative is not that I put loads more effort into faffy open source workflows, it’s that I go back to using crap passwords.
Article is dated. Mortgage rates are up over 1% since then, and slated to continue rising rapidly.

Affordability will be just about record lows at 5%. Inflation adjusted home prices have already surpassed the 2000s peak, and are a few std deviations above historical norms.

If inflation doesn't abate, we can expect 6% mortgages in the near future.
If I understand this correctly: you are saying that strict-typing prevents arbitrary depth record requests to be made to SQL because Haskell cannot represent an arbitrary tree of types...

I presume that the accessors in Haskell would be 1-1 with SQL language requests, but the problem is that SQL queries are not typed? Or are dynamically typed?

So, instead of a generic library for SQL queries, one would have to implement a library for a specific SQL DB structure?

Farms are also what investors are looking for, at least the types of farms this person seems to be talking about. "Farm" the land for 10-20 years, and then put in a development as the city grows out. These investors are betting that the land will be worth a lot more in a few years.

I put farm in quotes because they are intentionally mining the land of all long term fertility - not a problem as it won't be farmed in a few years anyway, but if you intended to farm for more than 10 years then proper care for the land will ensure better profits of the wrong run.

It's about time, but it does raise the question of why so many of the largest organizations in the world were so eager to hitch their reputation to a shady outfit like BLM.

If it's just a matter of virtue signaling, or even better - actually doing something, it seems like the only organization that got it right was the NHL with their Hockey Diversity Alliance. They didn't fold to the pressure of aligning themselves with BLM who has been known to be a grift for many years. So how did everyone else get it so wrong?
So…security by obscurity.
You can use any kind of sync software you prefer, be it cloud-based or local LAN-only. At least with cloud-based it’s not a glaringly visible honeypot with a huge target painted on it.

Setting up local automated sync is on my todo list, it’s just lower priority than too many other things. As I mentioned, I don’t create new accounts so often that I need automated sync.
I am still using Atom and I will hate Microsoft forever for killing it. For me no other editor comes close in terms of UX.
The "hard / impossible" part is that the taxing unrealized gains requires a policy around recognition of unrealized losses, and a policy in either direction has empirical and well-understood adverse consequences. Governments generally avoid tax policies that unavoidably have nasty and unmanageable adverse consequences that exceed the value of the revenue generated.

If you do not recognize unrealized losses, it strongly biases investment toward low-risk rent-seeking investments because the expected return is much higher than long-term high-risk investments under this tax regime. Startups, biotech, etc become unattractive as a place to put money because the financials don't make sense relative to rent-seeking and investment is not a charity. Paying taxes on non-liquid assets is a massive risk for average people, greatly reducing the practical investment opportunities available to them.

If you do properly recognize unrealized losses, it creates a scalable new mechanism for tax avoidance that would reduce tax revenues. Not only are valuations strictly notional and effectively fictional for many assets, but intangibles are often entangled in asset values that can't be accounted for in a sane way (e.g. the act of transferring an asset can greatly reduce its value ipso facto). These intrinsic logical inconsistencies allow almost any tax story to be constructed using assets.

While no government wants to deal with the consequences of broadly recognizing unrealized losses, they also don't want to incentivize all investment to go into low-risk rent-seeking endeavors like real estate instead of long-term high-risk investments in technology and innovation. It is a damned if you do, damned if you don't, so governments generally opt out of this type of tax altogether.
Automatic Ring Solving
Commercial property tax rates (incl rental) should be higher than residential. All things being equal, it would be preferable for someone to own the house they live in, rather than pay rent to another party indefinitely for exclusive access, and our tax code should incentivize in that direction.
I agree with everything you've written here, but while all good points, they're really more about convenience -- not trust.

First, loving this version, it's just the right amount of difficulty. It's slowly overtaking Wordle in my group.

Are the colors in dark mode different to Wordle? I find it harder to remember which gray means unguessed and which means no matches.

The keyboard doesn't display correctly with split colors on Firefox Android, but the numbers at the end do.

Lastly, the share is too large. I tend to just cut off the actual boards and just post the numbers.
I'm not sure if that's how I would have responded to this survey based on the wording of the question.
