> banks exist and can make digital transactions when you give them cash.

And as soon as I use a bank for this, I am no longer protected against law enforcement preventing me from paying my bills and supporting myself, which was supposed to be the whole point of using cash in the first place. Law enforcement can block banks from making digital transactions on my behalf just as easily as they can freeze my accounts at those same banks.
I remembered reading this in the Globe and Mail article about the leaked GiveSendGo list of donors, but it seems I was wrong. I'm sorry for not checking my sources when posting this. I'm not sure why I can't edit the original message.

I could confirm however that the movement including its leaders had ties with neo-Nazi groups and that Nazi flags were flown in the convoy.

Here's the Wikipedia article with more than enough sources to support those claims: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_convoy_protest?wprov=sf...
I have never understood these cases. Even if you are able to force someone to work for you, which I don't agree with, you can't force them to do good work. Is the next step to sue someone because "they didn't do work up to their typical standard"?

What if I don't want to work with Facebook because I think they're evil? Is that discrimination against evil corporations? Can they sue me and force me to work there?

In America, all states except 1 are "right to work", which really means "right to fire". So anyone has the right to fire me, but I don't get to choose who I work for?

Who wants to work with someone when you know they don't want to work with you?
I started read Robert Adam's novel The This last night. Still only on chapter 2, but anyone who is interested in this content will probably be interested in the novel. The premise is that in the near future there is a new social network that works by injecting a device into the roof of your mouth that lets you just always be connected to the hive mind. Wackiness ensues. (Okay, not wackiness.)
I think that's mixing apples with oranges really, as containerd uses runc as well.

nerdctl is a client app which speaks to containerd, which is a long running daemon.

podman uses a different architecture (no long running daemon)

Both projects use runc to actually launch the containers.
It's a common word as far as I, an American, knew. But then again my dad was handy around the house and we always had tubes of caulking around.
A share of stock is a fraction of the cash flow of a company. A share represents a tangible thing which can valued according to any number of mechanisms.

Cryptocurrencies represent nothing but transactions and the ledger of those transactions (which they are exceedingly wasteful and clumsy at achieving).

Hmmm, thinking out loud...

That means that the total cost of all the mining divided by the outstanding value of BTC should approximate the floor.

Except when it doesn't. When it becomes unprofitable to mine, all of the miners turn off their machines, and the network dies, it'll go to zero.

Complicating factor is the miners who have free electricity, e.g., setup hooked up to their own solar farm or natgas flare. For them, the cost of mining is the capital investment over their output, so they'd keep their machines running as marginal cost of new energy is essentially zero, but the employees to keep it running? If we're down to very few mining machines running, how quickly does the difficulty scale downwards — fast enough to keep it running?
Yes. Pretty much everyone is aware of the elephant in the room. It's just not relevant to address said elephant since it has no bearing on technical discussions, which is what the author of the e-mail thread pro-actively underlined.
> human sentiment - a very fickle input

Ordinary accounting principles already have a concept for this: goodwill. If a business's valuation exceeds the net of its tangible assets minus liabilities, then that intangible asset is called goodwill.

Goodwill is neither a strange concept nor inapplicable to virtual currencies/assets. Instagram's value as a business entity (yes, I know it's owned by Meta) clearly exceeds the value of the source code, real estate, office furnishings, accounts receivable, etc. A competitor could duplicate everything Instagram does, but the competitor wouldn't be as valuable as Instagram. That difference in value is goodwill. In the tech industry, where we give new names to old things, we call it network effects. The Instagram network is an intangible asset that has real value, which you can't derive solely from Instagram's tangible assets. That company had to build a product and become extremely lucky that it caught on and became popular. Instagram is valuable because its users think it's valuable. If you aren't an Instagram user, you probably don't see its benefit and might have trouble understanding why it's a $XX billion business entity.

Same with successful virtual currencies and assets: they're valuable because of the network effects. Bitcoin is valuable because its users think it's valuable. That's true of any valuable network, and it's true of Bitcoin.

Strongly disagree on this assertion. Each to their own, so I'm not going to pretend that we're having an objective discussion here to start with :P. Personally the wordle model works for, something like wordle, but doesn't extend much further. I lose interest in a story fairly quickly if slowly drip fed over weeks and months. As a result I have watched FAR more shows after Netflix model than before it; I suspect I'm not the only one. I will wait until all episodes are released first to even start watching now; but often, don't continue with shows with HBP release model at all and move on to something else. The entire point of a story (for me atleast) is to get sucked into a different world and find out more while your mind is engaged. The "pay off" waiting a week to find the next bit of information is far less than the friction of first, abruptly being thrown off your train of thought, and secondly, to start caring about the story a few moments before or as the next episode is being played. Its like chasing a deep bug in the weeds of legacy code base and then suddenly having to have to switch context for a week and then told to chase that bug again. Even if I find it next time, there's no satisfaction anymore.
In hindsight I would have done the "Silicon Valley University" thing and worked in SF for a year or two. Having big tech or growth startup on your resume appears to be quite important.
Wow! I've been using the internet since the 90s and I have never had my hair blown back by a webpage before. The isometric view certainly hits the nostalgia button.

Edit (from the site):
"Japan was once globally renowned for its people's quality of unique creativity teamed with a pioneering mindset. Their innovation and inventions changed the world. But that golden era has long been gone. It seems that the quality Japanese people once possessed is overshadowed by worry and fear."

It's really interesting to hear that coming from the family office of one the largest companies in Japan. I can't imagine an American leader making a public statement like that (about the USA), probably because US companies prey on fear and FOMO.
I'm pretty sure 'fast' is referring to the runtime performance rather than the download size. (The latter does sound less than ideal, but my hunch is that most people simply do not care about download size, in this day and age.)
Intel is currently worth less than AMD even though Intel's profit is quite a bit higher than AMDs entire revenue. I recognize that Intel has huge problems to solve but they absolutely seem undervalued currently.

I’m a Canadian, we don’t have free speech in nearly the same way Americans do. Using a gendered pronoun one doesn't prefer is considered hate speech in my country and has been tested in court [1]; our freedom in this regard is actually very limited.

In the past year I've been on a journey of note-taking / personal knowledgebase:

- Trillium Notes [0]
- Joplin [1]
- others I can't remember
- Obsidian [2]
- Emacs/org-mode
- Logseq [3]
- and now back to Obsidian again

Logseq was really promising in concept - pulls a lot of cool concepts in from the others and supports org files. But I found it to be incredibly slow and laggy with my existing mixed org/markdown files. Unusably so, so I ditched it quickly.

Obsidian has come a long way from where it was a year ago in terms of community plugins. There's some crazy stuff you can do with plugins like obsidian-dataview [4], obsidian-itinerary [5], quickadd [6], obsidian-Kanban [7]. It's no Emacs in terms of customizability, but it's pretty damned close. And Obsidian doesn't have the random freezes and random "oops I accidentally deleted a huge chunk of nested notes" that org-mode constantly exposed me to. I'm loving Obsidian (again). As long as you don't mind JavaScript for plugins and closed source core app, it's a super-powerful and performant option worth checking out.

The biggest thing Obsidian lacks right now that SuperNotes 2 seems to offer is good sharing / collaboration between people - for me, I just want to be able to have shared notes with my partner, but sharing with a team would be great, too. I'm not the target audience for SuperNotes 2, but it is good to continue to see competition in this space - the innovation it drives is exciting.

> Is there a technical reason why Steam is a such a force in the space?

It just works and doesn't get in the way. In all my time using Steam, I've never had a case when it wasn't maxing out my bandwidth during a download. The only friction I can remember is with Half Life 2, which required you to use Steam to decode the files installed with your physical DVD and that took ages. But that was the first real game ever shipped on the platform. On the dev side, Steam seems pretty easy to integrate.
645 comments so far and no one has pointed out what struck me as obvious red flags:

1) This blog post is from 2016 and yet it is the hot story and discussion today on HN. The main argument is that following news is pointless and we are better off not doing so.
2) It has been upvoted and commented on 600+ times today, right as Russia is invading the sovereign nation of Ukraine. This is objectively news worth following. Russia has lost the debate across most of the mainstream english speaking internet regarding this invasion.
3) Russia is the main party that benefits at this time from convincing people to ignore the news.

There’s a kernel of common sense truth to this idea: Even before social media, we only framed photos of the good times and successes. It’s not nefarious or manipulative. It’s just the nature of sharing the good times.

However, I feel like I’ve been seeing this idea abused more lately to try to normalize problem behaviors or dysfunctions. To extend your example: If someone sees photos of other people’s tidy houses on social media and their immediate reaction is to convince themselves that those houses are actually very messy and disorganized behind the scenes, they could be projecting their own issues with cleanliness and disorganization on to others. It’s much easier to overlook our own problems when we normalize them by projecting them on to everyone else.

While it is true that social media isn’t a perfect representation of people’a normal daily lives, it was never intended to be. If someone is misunderstanding social media (or a resume) as a 100% snapshot of people’s lives, that needs to be corrected. However, I think it’s also a problem if someone’s only coping mechanism is to imagine the opposite scenarios and project it on to that person.

The only lasting solution, in my opinion, is to learn how to be comfortable with yourself, on your own, without comparing to others.
nerdctl is just a new client to target containerd.

Containerd has been around a long time, it was originally part of Docker itself, but was separated out and is now a standalone project.

Docker uses containerd as part of it's standard deployment.

Containerd is a long running daemon (similar to dockerd), so that's where the difference lies in that podman (in it's default setup) doesn't have a long running daemon.

The closest analogy to containerd in RH land is CRI-O.
I saw elastic has vector indexes now -- what does 'well' mean?

My guess is for most popular uses, vector indexes are indeed more of a feature than a product, so will smooth out over time in big DBs, and curious what that should look like. Seperately, I do think there is a small niche for opinionated vector-first DBs, and not sure what that is either :)
> You can buy an HTC Vive for 800$, and a PI4 for 60$.

Why would anyone use Dropbox?? You can just use SFTP, CVS and a 5$ VPS... [0]

Seriously though, let's treat your comment as non-trolling:

The HTC Vive - a 6-year-old device - does not have anything close to the per-eye resolution needed to do any kind of desktop computing, AND it uses outside-in tracking, meaning you need external lighthouses so it's not really portable.

You would have been better off saying "You can buy an Oculus Quest 2 for $629" instead.

The PI4 does not provide the computing power to drive a VR display like that. That's kind of it right there. Bad example again.

I accept the accusation of pessimism. Even being very familiar with the same source as yours !

But looking at this:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/electricity-prod-source-s...

I do not read it as "we replaced all of those on your left yesterday" ; but rather as "we have moslty kept those on your left, but some of the new ones we're building are a not as dirty, and anyway last year was weird."

If you look at the whole "electricy mix vs energy mix", I read it as, yes, sorry, even more of a challenge.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-energy-substitutio...

Now, "depressing" is not in anyway "desperate". Of course the grids are improving in rich countries, the mixes are improving in rich countries, the batteries are popping here and there that will make intermittency more manageable in rich countries, etc... And that's a challenge !

But I insist on "in the close future".

There's more than 60% of our electricity, and more than 80% or our energy that we need to transition.

I understand we have 10/20 years to do so, not 50.

Then again, I'm bad at predictions. Maybe we're at the start of an exponential curve - I've spent the last two years missing them.

Do you believe coal plants are going to close "viraly" in the next few years ? (Not only new hydro/wind/solar popping up)

Do you see a wave of gasoline cars getting out of the road ? (Not only new EVs poping up ?)

As a fellow imposter syndrome sufferer, I feel for Justin. There is a real sense of struggle underlying his writing. The part on rationality struck me in a certain way though. It is his sense of rationality as identity. I've felt this myself as I'm sure many others here have too. It's not exactly a healthy perspective.

Rational identity is a product of the enlightenment's masculinization of rationality[1]. With the genderization of modes of thought comes the social ideals and expectations that serve to mold people into themselves. Let's face it, ideal rationality is a human-denying mode of thinking rather than a human-affirming mode of thinking. It strips away our rich emotional capacity in a way that alienates us from ourselves. That's why I feel for this guy, I really do.

Be careful working in this field (pornography). In 2017 I wrote a mildly pornographic app (http://driftwheeler.com) and it appears on my resume. When hiring managers or recruiters take a look, some of them get upset.

For example, a scheduled interview was abruptly cancelled the night before. I pursued the matter through a friend who had a senior role at the hiring company and it was determined that the (middle-aged female) in-house recruiter had been deeply offended when she followed the link on my resume and had cancelled everything. Eventually, I received a sincere apology from the CEO.

There is a real stigma, and it will affect you. Beware.

The main benefit of ML to average/gifted students is long-term, and would indeed not show up in a formal experiment involving a simple "class". Namely, expecting the student to achieve mastery averts problems with educational "gaps" further along the curriculum; and letting the student learn at their optimal pace can help them learn the existing material faster or in more depth, which benefit also compounds throughout a full curriculum.

DI as a method includes a "90% of all taught material must be review" rule which while helpful for the less proficient students who are the main focus of the method, is probably overkill even for an average student let alone a gifted one.[0] What's more relevant is that instruction should be as unambiguous as possible and that the mastery-learning principle should be followed.

[0] It's also a plausible factor behind the common complaint that DI involves less "creativity, joy and spontaneity" than more popular and commonplace educational methods. This plausibly reflects the outlook of above-average students, but likely not of less proficient ones, for whom 'review' and a tight feedback loop is very helpful indeed!
> I'm really sick of people from all over the internet telling the people who actually live in Ottawa that the protests have been peaceful.

Your sickness is regrettable. It’s such a shame not everyone is on board with your pity-train of first world problems. Are you so out of touch that you even know what not-peace is?

An epistemologically closed assertion without evidence deserves pushback. I think you might agree with that given your lengthy response that barely addresses the claim at hand.
I literally quoted two thirds of your comment. Here’s the last piece:

> ”mindfulness" is a corporate re-packaged and whitewashed variant of buddhist meditation tradition.

This still says nothing meaningful.

“Whitewashed” is nonsense when discussing a meditation practice that’s not based on race. (Maybe you mean “westernized”, but that doesn’t create the same visceral response that bypasses critical thinking.) “Corporate” is not an actual criticism, either. It’s again an emotional appeal. The fact that some companies make money from a thing does not make a thing bad. You can check out a book from the library for free if you want to avoid giving a corporation your money.

Given that you took the time to respond and still couldn’t be bothered to say anything substantive, I am left to assume you actually don’t have a real criticism, but an axe to grind.
