Whether what you are saying is true or not - on face value it appears that when the founding fathers in the US were laying the groundwork for the new government, it was envisaged that the role the federal government had would be smaller than it is now. Whether that is good or bad is a different argument, but it seems on face value to be a given it wasn't intended by those folks.

The example given re the Fed - I don't believe there was any suggestion by the founding fathers of a central bank. Banks used to issue their own money.
a lot of people don’t think they are quality in america but sometimes an egg salad sandwich is exactly what you need. i also like the stores that have the pre warmed section with the times written in front of when they were put in
My MK6 GTI M/T was totaled right after the pandemic started but before the used car market blew up. It took me a year to find a suitable replacement, but I was not budging on my requirement of an MK6 GTI (Oddly enough, my partner and I were borrowing a Saab 9-5 wagon from her dad while car hunting).

I found a 2012 M/T GTI being sold in Southern California and literally hopped on the next flight once I got confirmation that they’d sell it to me. I bought at asking ($6500, a steal just months later) and drove it back to Sacramento.

I never thought I’d be that kind of person to take a one-way flight to buy a car, but that MK6 GTI has changed me. It’s one of the few “modern” vehicles that is easy to do work on yourself. The chassis was designed to hold the larger 2.5L, 5-cylinder engine in the Golf so the smaller 2.0L Turbo left enough room to get in there and perform repairs/service without taking body panels off (cough cough BMW). Armed with a VCDS and a 10mm, I can diagnose and fix most minor things.

Super fun, easy to self service, manual transmission, not letting this go.

I'd imagine that companies would get licenses to use encryption in limited and restricted circumstances, such as for DRM or basic system security. The user won't be able to use strong encryption, but only backdoored or weak encryption to keep the average attacker out.
Japanese convenience store egg sandwich's have better quality eggs than anything I can even buy in the US, short of maybe stopping by a local farm.
Leaving aside whether it is good or not, I think this is the future.

When automated driving takes over, few will want to own a car. Most will rent from various fleets so they can watch a movie, play with their phone/partner/etc while they get from A to B. As usual, there will be good things about it and bad things.

I knew that going in. I helped to secure 10 million in business in 2021. They disbanded our team. To “grow” it. I applied for the “new” role.

They offered less and said it would include 2022 annual raise.

Told by my managers manager they would make me right at the end of 2022 through a bonus. Asked for it in writing, never heard back.

This decrease in total comp plus inflation has seen my real world earned drop by 20% for 2022.

You can't just sit around doing nothing and expect to keep customers. Competitors will catch up and beat your offering.

What subscriptions mean is more money spent on development and customer support, less money spent on advertising and sales teams. Because the real money is in continually making the customer feel they are getting good value.

These articles always make me conflicted. On one hand the Japanese convenience store is quite good but there’s so much fetishizing about them. In the end it’s just a sandwich, and if you eat enough of them you’ll realize there’s no “magic”.

That said the conbini is often the subject of many Japanese food TV shows and I enjoy seeing in-depth programs of how something is made and the creativity in their production. I learned that 7-11’s fried rice is made using real woks with an elaborate setup of robotic arms to toss the rice with the wok and spatula. The length they went though to get the flavor just right is very impressive.

On the sandwiches, one of my gripes is that they are often filled in a way that makes them look really plump and full of ingredients when cut in half. But everything is in the center so by by the time you make it to the edge it’s just bread. To me the sandwich is visually appealing but lacks balance and consistency from first bite to the last.
Taiwan convenience stores are similar, minus the xenophobia.
It’s a myth invented by moms trying to get their kids to eat the crust.
parametric modelling is good for minor changes that don't change the general topology of the part. Otherwise you'll run into topology naming issues that you have to fix by hand (at best) or a complete redesign of the part. (at worst)

there are ways to mitigate the side effects (e.g. using reference planes instead of part topology as feature references) but it's a chore sometimes.

software equivalent of topology changes would be perhaps changing from using a certain set of APIs to another for reasons. If only equivalent functions are used it's not an issue. But if there's missing functions that you have no choice but to recompile the library and add logic to manipulate the information, that's a lot of work!

it's the same as if that hole that you parametrically positioned hits a spar and you have to redesign the surrounding structures.

No, so the Russian government cannot intercept every https (TLS) connection out of the country. With this they could attack every user on ruNET and capture every password, every email, every message… it is critical that it be blocked for the safety of the internet.
And I'll add a thought in response to OP: if you're going to quit because of money, you should be doing it because your salary is too low, not because your raise was too small. Some of the places handing out big raises this year stiffed people last year, and vice-versa.
Dear Chris, Hamish, Jairaj, and Sachin -

We solder at 200°, which is 1500° below the boiling point and 23% of it. You shower at probably 40°, which is 60° below the boiling point and 84% of it. Because vapor pressure is typically an exponential function of temperature the absolute difference (1500°) is the more important measure here. If you were showering at -1500° you would have a point, but absolute zero is only -273.15°, so you can't.

He has plenty of financial interest. Chase has 100's of billions in core deposits from little guys. They pay about 0 on them. They lend them at 3-4%. If people started to think Chase was a place where their deposits weren't safe, it wouldn't be pretty for Chase. Even the thought that maybe just maybe they aren't safe is enough.

Banks are in a precarious situation re deposits.

How to Ruin Any Hacker's Fun
After watching similar ideas surfacing from the World Economic Forum/Davos, I take this article very seriously. I am just guessing here, but it seems probable that such automated totalitarian style control would become stable and enduring if a large majority of people were happy with it. Isn't that the way China operates? (I don't know, it has been years since I was in China.)

Who gets the resources to be happy? The wealthy and people with valued skills, for sure. But additionally most people would have to get a 'good enough' deal for the system to be stable.

Cyberwar is almost entirely made up by Hollywood and the media. Funny how people take it seriously.

I used f.lux (well, mostly redshift) for a while. After reading some doubts about blue light being particularly harmful I switched to only dimming brightness and found that I can dim more without shifting colors and I prefer that to shifting colors (partly because I have a non-24 hour circadian rhythm and am often awake at night, so I would often mostly see the shifted colors). So I would recommend giving that a try before shifting colors or try both ways and see what works best for you.

Redshift can easily just change brightness but f.lux doesn't have an option to just shift brightness last I checked and I haven't found a great way to do this on windows desktop (laptops have more built in brightness options that are at least easy to adjust). It sounds like some monitors have fairly easily adjusted brightness but mine is a pain to adjust anything. I tried redshift on windows but it had some issues that I don't remember. Since I just use windows for games, it isn't as big of a deal since games tend to be less bright (and many have brightness adjustment). As my monitor gets older I have more of the opposite issue of it not being bright enough during the day in the summer.

Also, I tried gammastep with sway, but it seemed to shift at the wrong time like there is a GMT vs local time mixup. I ended up just switching back to X.
This only makes sense if you have positive-risk-adjusted-return investments you've been waiting to make. If you already have too much cash with no where to put it, borrowing more cash makes no sense.
They also make a (as they claim) zero telemetry browser called Orion (https://browser.kagi.com). It is super fast, but there's not enough trust built there yet for me to use it as my main browser. I just use it as a dedicated HN browser for now. It has sidebar tabs built in which is _the_ killer feature for me. I think Edge did this best, but I refuse to use a MS browser.

I've been using Kagi full time for a few weeks now and it has been a very pleasant experience. Search results seem consistently better than DDG and my !g use is significantly down. And it is really really fast. YMMV.

I'm curious if this company will survive long term. I fully plan to pay a subscription once they introduce that, but the way they describe it in their FAQ makes it sound way too niche for my taste.

They should make one unified (low) price for Kagi with no search caps. And then offer a "Premium" plan with some extra features (NOT the number of searches done). Segregating into entry level and "unlimited" (horrible name btw) plans sounds like a recipe for disaster considering all other search engines are unlimited by default AND free by default.

Maybe techy people will value things like no telemetry and no ads but I question if there's enough of us that value these things AND are willing to pay for this AND choose to become their customer. Good luck to them. :)

If you don’t service the engine on an ICE, it won’t last 30K miles. A lot less, if you don’t keep the oil and coolant topped off.

All cars have tires, brakes, and c/v joints. If you don’t service them, you won’t pass inspection.

Use the dealer while the car is under warranty. Then find the best non-chain local shops.

If you are watching dollars, you will buy a four year old vehicle and drive it for four years. Then sell it.
With the old v2 hidden services (16 character long onion addresses) it was possible to recover the onion addresses of any service running on the Tor network while the v2 hidden service was running.

However, that issue was only present in v2 hidden services. v2 has been depreciated in favor of the new v3 hidden service protocol (56 character long onion addresses) which is not vulnerable to this issue. This new protocol contains a full ed2559 elliptic curve public key in the onion address. The key in the onion address is used to derive what are called "blind keys". These "blinded keys" are then announced to the Tor network in such a way that nobody can recover the original public key without prior knowledge of the it, leaving them unable to establish a connection with the hidden service.

I have only briefly elaborated on how v3 hidden services work. If you are interested in a more in depth and technical explanation I encourage you to read:

I think it's reasonable for a state to assume you're going to renew your registration. That assumption is true in most cases, and greatly streamlines things.

What's the alternative? Don't ever assume that any resident wants to renew, but silently start accruing fees and potential criminal charges that'll be levied when they inevitably realize they forgot to re-registry, and do so months late? Sure that may be technically legitimate - the onus is on the resident, after all - but it'll lead to a ton of unnecessarily pissed off people.

Assuming the call they want is simply to confirm that you have moved out of state, I think that's a reasonable ask.

------

Aside: Wisconsin sends multiple reminders before registration is due. It can be via mail, or email. And there are late charges, but only $10 or so (applied by the DMV - driving without registration is also a criminal issue that police can enforce separately if you're driving on public roads).

I thought it was a pretty good system.

There are groups that are trying to counter it that you can donate to and/or work with.

Do you have any evidence that that would be feasible? Because it sounds impossible. Houses in rural areas hidden under trees would go uncounted. High density urban areas would be have no indication how many inhabited floors there are, or how densely inhabited.

What problem do you have with how the census is currently done? It seems remarkably efficient.

It was amusing until this part:

> There’s a message from the Fed: “You have already spent more than the $400 maximum weekly limit on fossil fuels specified in the FedWallet User Agreement. Your remaining account balance cannot be used to purchase non-renewable energy resources.

At that point, the conspiracy-theory vibe stopped seeming ironic. If the government wanted to phase out gas-usage, wouldn't they just raise gas-tax? Having cheap gas, but a sudden limit leaving motorists stranded, just seems a little too wacky, even for a thoughtless comedic argument.
This is an interesting choice. I feel like normally this sort of thing would manifest as a particular sequence of beeps, but those are hard to notice and easy to write off; "my computer plays Für Elise or It's A Small World on the beeper for no obvious reason" is very specific and much easier to hunt for.
I can't say this is true of any subscription I have ever had.
I really like Twitter, I follow a lot of great people and discover a lot of great things on it.

I'm the Product Lead at the Dogecoin Foundation, that amusing dog-themed crypto project that unlike others remembers the OG vision of crypto: being a useful decentralised currency for folk to spend world over (not just a store of value that magically goes up all the time, or a general purpose distributed compute platform).

A major reason I'm involved in crypto at all is that I believe cryptocurrency is a Pandora's box that Satoshi unleashed on the world. It doesn't matter whether you love or hate crypto, it's not going back in the box, it will (in some form) be what we're using in 10-20 years for everything. This is what you're seeing with the Biden announcement that the US are investigating CBDCs. China already has one, governments the world over are looking at this and rubbing their hands together.

The choice we have now is to decide whether our kids enjoy a decentralised currency in a form that cannot be taken away from them, that fundamentally belongs to the people, or centralised currency that yields 100% control to their government to suspend, redistribute, withhold and track to a degree never before imagined.

There's a mighty big carrot in single-government CBDCs that is going to take a significant, unified effort to resist. The only way that I see of avoiding it is to establish a global, grass-roots financial product that wins bottom-up by being easier, simpler, more convenient.. so that's what we're trying to do.
Or it could be a way for them to fire suspicious, defiant, or personell they suspect are whistleblowers, without any questions asked.
It'd also be extremely problematic, akin to the challenges of clean room implementations, to build software around leaked source code.
Sure, I can get rid of the word enum. The symbols in the example are numerals for sure, but you explicitly say they're representing colors. I don't know how to multiply colors. What I'm saying is you merely have labels there, the numbers those numerals usually represent have nothing to do with the explicitly stated meaning. If I saw that array without context, yeah sure, I'd assume it's a matrix. But there is context that tells me interpreting this as a transformation makes no sense.

I'm genuinely claiming they aren't numbers due to the explicit context. The entries are colors with numerals as labels.

Now, you've said something slightly different where I think we can agree. If the entries are from a set closed under a notion of multiplication and addition, then it represents a matrix even if it isn't being used in that way. But I still say that if you're merely using the array as a place to keep some data then I won't be using the word matrix, I'll just call it an array.

Anyway. I started this by saying it was interesting that we use the word matrix slightly differently. I still think that's interesting and think it's totally fine if you want to call an array a matrix even if the entries don't come from something where a transformation makes sense. I wouldn't "correct" someone's usage. I just think it's interesting how we use it different. Anyway, I feel like you just think I'm dumb, so I'm ending this here. You might not, but it's hard to read the vibe via text. If you have something to add you think will get me to change my word choices, feel free to respond and I'll read it, but I'm not replying on this thread anymore.

And what happens when you can't tell what "information" is true in any reasonable timeframe, making it impossible for normal people (or actually anyone at all) to discern fact from fiction? Tough titty, those people just get to believe misinformation? It's not anyone's responsibility to suppress lies? I will never agree with that position. In a better world, the truth can be identified just by reading carefully. This isn't that world.

Completely agree. Encryption is subversive. It has the power to defeat governments, judges, armies. They can't tolerate mere citizens being in possession of such technology. They are tempted by the complete visibility and control afforded by the digital world of the 21st century, but encryption is already denying them information and they can't stand it.
