- transparency
Crypto, besides privacy coins is the most transparent you can possibily get. It's a public, immutable ledger. The US can literally go in an change the total supply anytime with zero transparency. And since USD is the global denomination of debt, when i increase my supply it actually makes my currency more valuable since everyone is shorting their own currency (Since their debt is in USD) and inflation leads to asset inflation which is a good thing for the wealthy, but a negative thing for those holding and dealing in USD. = us plebs.

- fraud detection

See point above, fraud is built into the system.

- political sanctions (russia vs. ukraine, north korea, iran...)

Political sanctions have been this economic philosophy that hasn't entirely played out in the countries doing the sanctions favor. These economies, due to force have been required to be much more verticly integrated and invest into the economies most hit by sanctions. Sanctions don't do much and the problem is, the more you sanction the less leverage you have.

- fairness due to transparency (you pay your taxes, i do: we both pay our fair share of infrastrucutre cost etc.)

What is fair about the current tax system? See my transparency point above, all those people trying to evade crypto taxs are in for a rude awakening when the governmeent develops machine learning to track and trade public ledgers... Everyone knows it's a public ledger... exactly the oposite of being descrete.

- easy to use (my grandparenst were able to use it)

Becausee it started being built when your grandparents grandparents were alive. Most shops didn't accept CC's when they first came out and it took a generation for the technology to preliforate. I'd say crypto has done what the old system did in 1/4 of the time.

- save

I get 4% APR on my stablecoins. 20+% on my DeFi Pools paid in stable coins.

- easy authentication and authorization system (i can get money with my passport)

I can provide authorization with a 10 word pneumonic.

- globally accepted

What is globally accepted exactly? USD? no it's not... it's only acceepted in the US. If i want to do business globally i have to swap to that asset. I not only have to worry about remittance, currency exchanges, trade fees and loan denomination. Terra has the ability to swap between many different currencies using stablecoins with almost no transaction fees.

- low transaction fees

BTC and Eth have extremely high transaction fees, but any V3 crypto has lower transaction fees than the current financial system.
- self optimizing system due to capital market (one bank can do transactions faster and cheaper than you can)

self optimizing system due to capital market (one bank can do transactions faster and cheaper than you can)

Play around with some decentralized exchanges, solona or DOT. they can do transactions faster and cheaper than any incumbent, including VISA or the NYSE.

Show HN: Hibiki HTML – New License and Bulma UI Controls
Just released v0.3.2 of Hibiki HTML (lots of new changes and features)!

The biggest, from the feedback I got on HN, is that Hibiki HTML is now
licensed under the standard MPL v2 (Mozilla Public License v2, OSI
approved), and is able to be integrated into any project (free,
commercial, or (A)GPL) without any fear over a non-standard license.

I've also released a new Bulma UI control library for Hibiki -
https://libs.hibikihtml.com/test-bulma.html . It features buttons,
tabs, menus, modals, great looking form inputs and controls, and a
simple data-table control with built in sorting and pagination! There
are also Hibiki HTML library wrappers for rendering markdown and code
highlighting.

Hibiki HTML is a great middle ground between vanilla HTML and full-on
JS frameworks like React or Vue. You can add dynamic functionality,
reuseable components, and backend REST calls in a single HTML file.
No tools to install, no JavaScript stack to configure,
no build process, and no need to be a JavaScript expert.

It works works great for embedding into backend
servers (or scripts), tools to interact with REST APIs, or
adding dynamic functionality to static sites.

I'd love to to hear and answer any feedback, questions, or comments.
If you have a project you'd like to use Hibiki HTML on, I'm also happy
to lend a hand or build out additional functionality or components you
might need.

They're all reasonably good IMO. Though honestly I find the controls from the mid-oughts and later much more approachable. Original engine games required so much anticipation, timing, and pixel perfect execution they feel sluggish and tedious now. Still the original was a tech marvel, running reasonably well when on Saturn.
"It’s interesting to me that even 20 years later, any comments that don’t fit the official narrative still get downvoted on HN"

It's more of a case of extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

There are plenty of places on the internet where wild claims without a shred of evidence are tolerated and even encouraged. HN is not one of those.

I don't disagree with the broader point you're supporting, but...

>The 13 guards telling the Russian naval ship to fuck off (turns out they surrendered)...

... while I'm open to this being what actually happened, I can't find anything that suggests this. Even Reuters is still saying Zelensky says they died. Can you provide a source for this?

Edit: TASS, a Russian news agency, appears to report what you're saying, but that's quite a biased source and seems to be the only one I can find[1].

> Maybe I should have said that there is no other civilized response available than imposing heavy sanctions.

That's kind of the problem, though. The catalog of "civilized responses" may not be up to the task of responding to these events, and being constrained to them prevents effective responses.

> Even a slightly weaker Russian military and some impact on Russian oligarchs may be better than nothing to prevent future misjudgments about the prospects of waging 19th Century territorial wars in the 21 Century.

Sometimes "better than nothing" rounds down to nothing. You might end up having more "19th Century territorial wars" because you let the war itself.

IMHO, the only thing right now that has a realistic chance of preventing another one of these wars from happening is a military failure by Russia. Right now that depends on the Ukrainian state acting on its own without much support from Europe.
What is the first step in assuming a power role? I think in terms of leadership you've got to somehow address the span of authority. Even having a few people under limited authority is a pretty substantial undertaking. But having counts in the tens of thousands and having considerable power? I don't think there is a way to reconcile that without detachment of one sort or another. I know if I were in that sort of position, nothing would get done lest some injury to even a single individual be precipitated, thus making me morally culpable in their hurt.

It's funny, but most of the senior staff ripe for promotion that I've had the pleasures of interacting with were always disinterested in moving "up" to a leadership position. I think most people have an intuitive sense of the real responsibilities that one has to engage with. So the idea that these people have some underlying pathology I don't think is too far from the mark. I've also considered the concept of pathogenic careers, and the assumption of particular frameworks of justification that need erected to assume certain roles. For instance a surgeon takes life and death into their hands every day, how they reconcile the high-stakes, the successes and the failures, as well as the known- and unknown in the performance of their duties may contribute to a conditioned pathology. I suspect CEOs and politicians are no different. Of course this is all speculative.
I'd like to know what Gabe meant by fraudulent too. The whole idea of crypto is that if you send it and it's confirmed you can't get it back, which makes fraud (on the payers side) nearly impossible.

You brought up the point about zero confirmations. Zero-conf itself is fairly reliable, it certainly doesn't account for 50% transactions being fraudulent. Bitcoin introduced replace by fee in 2016. In 2017, bitcoin transition fees were high, and there was large increase in the bitcoin mempool, which led to a backlog of stuck low-fee transactions.

Replace by fee adds a major loophole to zeroconf, low-fee, stuck transactions could be rebroadcast with a higher fee and sent somewhere else even after they were "received" but not yet "confirmed" by Steam. Users could sign up, pay with Bitcoin, steam sees the payment but doesn't want the user to wait 3 days for confirmation, so steam completes the signup. After that the user rebroadcasts the transaction back to themselves with a higher fee and quicker confirmation. The original transaction doesn't go through.

Here's and discussion on how reliable zero-conf is when RBF is not part of the protocol and instead bigger blocks are mined.

I’ve found there’s a way to ask this question without assigning blame:

Hmm… how am I creating this situation?

It’s a more multi-dimensional exploration.

Often, we repeat experiences because there’s something we aren’t willing to face - about ourselves or how we relate to life.

It’s quite freeing to seek that out.

This only makes sense where “stolen money” is money that you don’t actually control, such as stolen credit cards where the transactions will inevitably be charged back. In that case it does make sense to buy and sell gift cards in order to “cash out” the money.

This does not make any sense in the context of bitcoin.
There you go. Putin and his forces are really shaking in their boots over those predictable DDoS attacks from Ukraine's Anonymous finest. /s

It's as if that is all they can do, compared to Ukraine themselves getting hit by the same attack from Russia and throwing a malware wiper in the mix, propagating all over. Ukraine has nothing to fight with really in cyber defences.

Might need to find a better way of attacking them rather than using predictable attacks like that which are easily mitigated against.

Unfortunately the effectiveness of a team doesn't necessarily support the individuals within it. If a worker feels expendable, which they typically are, they may keep "secrets" regarding the functioning of certain aspects of a process or maintain the exclusivity of some relevant relationship to make the team more dependent on them. A team needs to support the necessary incentives for the members of that team to feel the team's success translates to their own personal success.

Yup, you're right: their more complex model was largely based in [continuum mechanics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_mechanics ), just like CFD.

Without specifically checking, I'd guess that they probably ignored some of the stuff involved in normal CFD, e.g. pressure-driven flows. In fact, their well-mixed model (their simpler model that didn't need a GPU) basically ignores fluid-dynamics entirely, since it ignores spatial-variation and so there're no fluid-dynamics to model. Their non-mixed model (their more complex model that did use a GPU) probably relied on diffusive-transport, without regard for stuff like pressure-driven flows.

So, yeah, CFD -- lighter on the mechanical-dynamics (like spatial-flows) and heavier on the chemical-dynamics (like chemical-reactions).
You don't have too

If nuclear is still working, demand for gas will be much lower hence lowering the dependency on Russia

Partial functions and exceptions are a compromise solution for the fact that you sometimes do know more than the compiler does. I think it's fine to throw an exception in the case of "programmer error". It's the equivalent of assertions in other languages. Yes, it can blow up, but at least the error is a bit more localised.

Having head return a Maybe means that you'll have to awkwardly handly a Nothing case even in situations where there is no sane behaviour to be added because it just simply would make no sense for a particular list to be empty unless you've introduced a bug somewhere else. It's hard to "recover" from such an error.

The same goes for e.g. division, which is partial too (can't divide by 0), but having it return Maybe would make arithmetic incredibly awkward. You could instead define e.g. x/0=0 or any other value—some languages like Coq or Pony do that, but I think that has the drawback that this makes it rather easy to mask some ugly errors.

In many such cases, the Haskell type system (without advanced extensions) is not expressive enough to encode everything you know about your values. In a language with dependent types, such as Idris, you can specify the length of the list in your type; then you can have a type-safe, total head function that doesn't return Maybe. You can also write a division function that requires a proof (possibly implicit) that the denominator is not zero. But dependently typed languages are much more niche than Haskell.
You are asking the wrong question. While you could save fuel that way, far more can be saved by insulation and turing temperatures to where you feel comfortable, and the with better insulation you don't have to suffer message is a winner with people who in abstract agree with saving fuel until it hurts them.

The real question then is how can you insulate every place in your country better.

The above is a complex question. There is the supply chain of insulation, contractors to do the work, and how to pay for it all. Still it is worth looking at.
3C is a lot if you're talking Celsius--but I do this at night (set thermostat to 60F-61F) as cold temps under layers of blanket is actually beneficial to sleeping.

Older houses sometimes still can benefit from insulation improvements.

So go in this order:

1. effective insulation

2. conscientious and smart use of energy and avoidance of very inefficient heating systems. avoid heating large areas when they don't really need to be at very warm temperatures. (careful though to avoid damp cold range of temperatures where wood rot and permanent damage to homes will happen). Avoid unburnt natural gas, eg in badly maintained or cheap cooktops. The ideal household kitchen has ~ 4 gas burners, and one or two induction burners flush with the counter, eg
https://www.amazon.com/Countertop-Portable-Induction-170-Min... This minimizes unlit gas for those very short heating needs in the kitchen.

3. think about upgrading to very efficient systems. These most promising could be (depending on your area and scale of heating needs):

-- electric-heat cogeneration

-- heat pumps that use the large volume of ground underneath the basement as geothermal heat-mass reservoir. Heat the ground mass during the summer to provide AC, and squirrel away the cold thermal mass during late fall and late winter+spring.

Why is this the case? The only reason I could think is electricity prices. Here in Montreal where the average low for today is -11oC and electricity is very cheap, nearly everyone uses electric baseboards or electric boilers.

I'd imagine Germans would be quick to install electric heating if electricity was cheap, no?

Wouldn't expanding nuclear drive down electricity prices?

Of course it does. Someone using this to spend the same bitcoin multiple times will generate many times more transactions than a regular user.

Donate money to charities that would be operating in and around Ukraine, helping the displaced refugees now and cleaning up the mess after the war is over. Think about the fact that while you live in comfort, many people are sleeping in subway stations, unsure of whether they will have a home to come back to, unsure of whether their relatives are okay. You have the opportunity to at least say in the future "I did more than simply spectate while nursing my fragile feelings."

Lobby your politicians by expressing your support for the current sanctions as well as stronger sanctions. Support sending lethal military aid to Ukraine as fast as possible -- a month from now may very well be too late to make a difference. The Ukrainian military is actually accepting direct donations, but I can't say whether they can be put to use in time.
