Uber owns billions of dollars of property, equipment and leases [1]. But your broader point holds. Uber has massive intangible value, which is close to impossible to distribute.

The difference between it and Bitcoin is one can buy Uber, all of Uber, and capture that value. M&A is the ultimate disciplinarian of the stock market, much more so than dividend cash flows. (Though the latter ultimately drives the former.) If you buy every Bitcoin, you destroy it.

Yes. And with the Minister for Home affairs basically only kept in line by loyalty to the Prime Minister, and having an extremely short list of “checks” to balance this power (basically all of which are the various people, committees and groups that have the right to immediately dismiss the minister) it genuinely scares me that this could pass.

The coalition have already demonstrated that the aren’t above trying to politically profit from what should have just been a regular apolitical national security investigation. Instead they spin the fact the one person found was a Labour MP as proof the opposition are somehow weak and corruptible on matters of national security. Then when the head of the depart doing the investigation makes an extremely rare rebuke, reminding everyone that such investigations are apolitical and do not reflect any differences between political parties, we get senior ministers outright disagreeing ( “respectfully” ) with the head of ASIO and trying to reaffirm that they are somehow different.

These are not the actions of people deserving of trust with power this enormous. I’m not sure I’d trust a genuine could throw thunderbolts and smite me deity with this kind of power, but I definitely don’t trust the current assholes in power and I doubt I’ll trust the next ones or the ones after that…

This might actually be my breaking point, I may have to either get into politics and run for office despite knowing I’m unlikely to succeed, or just have all the difficult conversations with friends and relatives and just fucking leave the country before they start mandating the root kits be installed by default.
> more about the complete sound rather than details itself

Agreed. My sound system isn't by any stretch audiophile; and I have the hearing of a 65-year-old. I can't point to things I can hear on a FLAC that I can't hear on an MP3; I hear the same notes, and the same instruments, with much the same tonality. But the former has a presence and vibrancy that is lacking in the latter; when I listen to MP3s, my involvement in the music rapidly tails off.

I suspect that you don't have to be able to hear higher harmonics in isolation, for those higher harmonics to affect what you do hear. That is, even if my hearing range cuts off at 12KHz, I can still tell the difference between an unfiltered sound, and a sound that is low-pass-filtered at 15KHz. The difference seems to be clearest with voices.

So all the things you have listed consuming energy have uses. They are doing something. Can they be more efficient, sure. What exactly is crypto doing? What is it solving? The crypto industry keeps growing and consuming video cards, processors and energy. To do what? So if it’s a currency it’s not even close to the efficiency and speed of the current financial system. Ease of use too, not even close. People are making money though, so I guess we don’t question it?
Do you have some others in mind? I have one for rice: buy California produced rice. Other rice producing parts of the country were historic cotton farming regions, which continue to have significant pesticide residue. California rice will prominently mention the location on the bag.

Edit: a quick search shows that it is arsenic contamination in question. On average California rice has about 35 percent less.
ReiserFS has been stable for a long time, and especially useful for spinning metal disks that need to store lots and lots of small files. Not sure that there is a modern replacement that will be able to do this well.
It does not seem unusual that an organization (NATO) created solely to defend/protect against one particular country would not allow that country to join forces with them.
Alternatively put: how many people would be willing to take a 2-year paid holiday on 50% of their current salary, with the option to work as many hours as they like in any non-competing industry in the interim? Sounds like it could be a pretty sweet deal if you found a good job for those two years.

It's interesting that, having avoided a filesystem with a version number, you eventually ended up on Reiser 4! Shows how much some branding decisions can affect with you acquire a user or not, since you then stuck with the "brand" (though I presume quite a lot of time had passed and circumstances may have been different).

I formed the impression that Hans Reiser's somewhat bombastic approach did not interface well with kernel development anyhow when Reiser 4 came out. I remember reading some rather strange discussion threads at the time, including a - perhaps tongue-in-cheek - suggestion that Linux use Reiser 4 as its VFS and implement all other filesystems as plugins to it.

At one point, employees of his company were continuing to develop Reiser 4 (which they'd been working on for some time) and try to get it merged, even after the original author was no longer able to work on it. I presume those efforts were eventually dropped, which is very understandable but sad for the other developers.

What you're saying is already true and already is happening. The global financial services industry is a $20T industry.

Yes for the common retail person sure, but someone has to purchase stocks to put them into an index. Those are professionals who evaluate PE ratios, profitability, and financial statements.

Maybe someone with more understanding of kernel development could explain things to me.

Does there have to be explicit kernel-level support to support a filesystem? Even if they remove support, does that stop anyone from releasing a kernel module and supporting it?
Show HN: Hathora – Multiplayer Game Development Made Easy
Hi HN, this is Harsh, I am the developer behind Hathora. I tried making a simple multiplayer game a few years ago and, as someone with software engineering experience but no gamedev experience, I found it to be very challenging. On top of the challenges of building a single player game, you now have to constantly battle the network and latency, find ways to prevent cheating, and figure out how to make a scalable backend architecture. With Hathora my goal was to encode best practices for online multiplayer game development into a framework so developers can simply focus on implementing their game logic.

Some technical pieces of Hathora I wanted to highlight:

- Hathora includes a system I think of as “gRPC for games”. You define your API in Hathora’s declarative format and the framework spits out typesafe data models, clients, and server endpoint stubs across multiple programming languages (although currently only Typescript is implemented). Minimal packet sizes are achieved through a binary serialization format which includes a delta encoding feature, allowing the framework to efficiently synchronize state by sending data diffs.

- Hathora includes a Swagger-like Prototype UI generated from the API definition. This allows you to view the game state and call server methods all in realtime, letting you interact with your backend logic without writing a single line of frontend code. Once you are happy with the backend logic, you can create a fully custom frontend using any framework/technology you’d like and just use the Hathora client to communicate with the backend.

- By handling generic game functionality (state synchronization, messaging, persistence, etc) for you, Hathora lets you create multiplayer games with very few lines of code. For example, see chess which is implemented in under 200 lines of user code: https://github.com/hathora/hathora/tree/develop/examples/che.... I also made (a massively simplified version of) Among Us in under 200 lines of code: https://github.com/hathora/among-us-tutorial

I am looking for developers interested in making online multiplayer games to try out Hathora and give me feedback. Additionally, if the roadmap seems interesting to you I would gladly welcome contributions: https://docs.hathora.dev/#/roadmap. I’ll be around to answer questions, let me know what you think!

seem to be any fixes for user-spotted bugs since 2019. Does reiserfs
still have a large install base that is just very happy with an old
stable filesystem? Or have all its users migrated to new and exciting
filesystems with active feature development?

Data loss bugs sure sound exciting, but I'm old, and stable, and I prefer my file systems like myself.

Mental health issues can often be unpredictable and dangerous.
A missing arm is almost never a sign of danger.

A missing arm could be the result of many things, birth defect, boating accident, or dangerous behavior, but is not a commonly accept indication of danger to self or others.

Mental illness is.
I don't think it's that big of a deal. If that was a big problem, but there was enough interest it would have just been renamed.

The issue as I remember is that ReiserFS was developed as a commercial product by Reiser's company, and after the trial started it fell apart, and with that the original developers had to find new jobs.

It's possible the commercial nature discouraged third party contributions -- who wants to effectively be an unpaid employee?

It also was rather troublesome with frequent stories of corruption, and at that time they were working on ReiserFS v4, which meant that anybody interested in filesystem guts was probably waiting for the next version to show up, rather than spending time on a very complex piece of code that was about to become obsolete. Kind of the same problem that Perl suffered from.

And after all was said and done, ReiserFS 4 was still incomplete and extremely experimental. The list of people looking to polish up a very complex piece of software without the original team's assistance couldn't have been very large.

I think all these things added up together and quickly finished it off.
Do you mean to suggest that if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear?
It’s a bit of a stretch but I guess you could interpret calling a 20 years old FS “old” as snarky?

Though of course that it hasn’t received any major update in the last 15 years and is fast approaching major issues (iirc it’s not y2038-safe) are factors.
Lots of vague assertions about introversion and the need for human interaction here, but oddly, the author seems to have never asked the interviewees to list out all their interactions. Online is also just barely glossed over with no mention of what any of the interviewees do online.

Anyway, my own experience with this kind of schedule is that minor social encounters can mean a bit more. If you go to the shop at 5:30pm after work, you may be in a lineup with 10 other people and feel completely ignored. At 3am, things move at a more leisurely pace. People might actually notice that you exist.

Then there's online life, which can fill in a lot. But again, the author just... skipped over it, along with anything substantive about other cultures. I'd love to see a real dive into what the lifestyle is like for other people (although I'm currently a morning person and feeling significantly healthier this way!).
I guess you don't need the "year progress" reminders as much!

Audio Data for Machine Learning
Hi HN. I'm working on a new project in the realm of data-centric ML. Audio data in machine learning is quite limited, which in turn limits the types of tasks we're able to learn to do (speech to text, text to speech, etc). I think that much more is possible, if only we had the right data.

I'd like to start creating more, varied labeled audio data for ML, and I need the community's help to figure out what is needed. Please reply in this thread, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

It’s becoming widespread with all of the apps, super bowl ads, and reduced friction in getting into crypto “investing”.

It used to be people who purchased crypto had to know what they were doing (and know the risk). Now anyone can buy crypto without any understanding of anything after seeing a 30 second commercial about smart investing.

I think I've read that minecraft behaves differently depending on how far away you are standing from the origin for similar reasons:

Also see `tldr` tool. Often very handy when you don't have patience to read man pages.
Do you have a single fact to back up this extraordinary claim?
I've noticed a correlation in attitudes between strong buy-in to establishment narratives on almost any topic and a rather overt hostility toward any challengers to fiat monetary systems.
This still isn't the same though. It would be more like if I own a pancake shop and I make pancakes in the shape of a man and a woman kissing. Then a gay couple walks in and orders pancakes in the shape of two men kissing and I refuse on the grounds that it is not on the menu because I object to the content. I tell them they are free to buy pancakes of a man and a woman kissing if they so choose. How is that discrimination? They aren't being asked to leave, and they are free to buy the heterosexual kissing pancakes if they want to, just like everyone else. I am not refusing the client, just their particular bespoke request.

This is a highly contrived example, but it could be about anything, not just sexual orientation. A black guy walks into a white guy's barber shop and asks for a bespoke African haircut. The white barber refuses on the grounds that he doesn't think he would do a good job since he has never done one before and doesn't intend to learn how to do those types of haircuts. The barber doesn't tell the black guy to leave, but he tells him to pick a different haircut. Is this discrimination? Should the barber be compelled to perform the haircut he doesn't want to do against his will? What if he then does a bad job? Is that a hate crime?
The fact he is a murderer might not be relevant to the discussion per-se but his unavailability to help fixes/improvements to be made is a big issue as the author of the FS.

I don't know anything about it and whether other contributors are able to give as much input as he could but judging by the comments of unfixed bugs and few commits, it would sound like it is a big risk of stagnation. No?
It's not deceitful to improve your offer during the course of a negotiation.
I'm pro cryptocurrency (the idea) and anti cryptocurrency (the practice).

> Thankfully crypto isn't a democracy. Money market funds, banks, stock exchanges, and every other financial institution can be frozen instantaneously by the U.S. President to "prevent another financial collapse". Those who are OK with that much power being concentrated in one person, can continue avoiding crypto. But no amount of public outcry can ban, shut down or criminalize crypto, same as you can't ban IMAP or AES.

I find this a funny argument. First of all, there's basically no understanding of civics in it. That's not how it works. The President can't just call up banks and tell them not to give people their own money, or shut down every stock market in the world.

Now you have a point if you're talking about control resting with a small number of people: Those in the highest echelons of finance and government. But on the other hand, this is also a problem with crypto as it is: Because it relies on things most people don't understand (the math and computer science), the people who do understand it have the power. It seems to me this argument is just 'No, we don't want that small group of people in charge; put OUR small group in charge instead.'

If so, be honest and make an argument as to why we should trust you more.

I've worked in politics and done tech and I don't trust either further than I could throw them, and I'm a tiny lady cripple.

Also, you can absolutely ban IMAP or AES, it just requires more effort.
I'm not sure this is disgusting. We can find it to be hilarious or something to ridicule but:

1. its never quite that simple. "he wanted to be taken more seriously" also might mean "pending agreements with news companies" "potential growth in news facebook page audiences", "finding more funding" or any other series of items

2. this founder spend 4mn/mo on ads and apparently nothing on business intelligence. With that kind of spend, its worth it to dedicate say 20% of your ad spend on understanding what is important to facebook and trying to remain in the know. It'll never be perfect but huge changes will be perceptible either in detail or in the fact that a huge change is company

3. they spent 4mn/mo on ads and nothing on even starting a diversification strategy. i have a hard time believing that there wasn't a single engineer or PM or something thinking along these lines
Ah, so that’s where those come from!

Err, no it's not, big engineering firms (google, facebook, etc) have formalized job titles and 'ranks' and provide a clear path for advancement - and they publish pay ranges for those titles/ranks.

Of course the LaTeX syntax is more capable, but for the simple and common case, it's extremely fussy. The simple case should be effortles. With markdown it is, and in Pandoc you can easily drop to more complicated syntax should you need any of its capabilities.
A filesystem is a database.
Maybe it's a sort of Teutonic tradition to name things after yourself. e.g. Hetzner, ReiserFS.
Even if they do this cosmetic change now, take effort deal with silly regressions and reeducating users, it will still take quite some time for people to stop parroting in every thread about $newfs, that it's about “$newfs, previously known as reiserfs, originally authored by a convicted murderer”. This ship has sailed long time ago. Maybe there aren't that many users remaining now to begin with.

There were grandiose plans indeed! Including things like plugins, yes, and ideas like exposing metadata about files (like MP3 artist tags and such) in virtual files. You'd `cat song.mp3/artist` or some such, treating the file as a virtual directory.

There also was weird artwork to go with all of that:

Harping on about how individuals can reduce energy usage in computing but not talking about Bitcoin is directly comparable to pushing lame individual recycling efforts but ignoring coal power plants and industrial scale methane leaks.
Yeah, I'm not saying we should be complacent but we should evaluate the situation objectively. Time to act is now, and the west should ensure that the values of liberal democracy be preserved and authoritarianism contained.
It's great for small files, but it's also got some really nasty little corner cases. You do not store ReiserFS filesystem images on ReiserFS filesystems without encryption, or the next time you run fsck, you'll end up with the two filesystems oddly merged into something entirely useless. I'm not sure if that's been fixed, I got a bit tired of the exotica for general daily driver systems, and ext3/ext4 cover my needs well enough.

I'm not sure btrfs is a sane replacement, though. It's exceedingly complex, and I try to avoid needless complexity where possible.
