> It is ok if you don't like sports (which is obvious from your comments about Tokyo, London, and Paris which all have notably big sports cultures)

It's amazing how twisted adult mindsets about sports are. Notice how not caring about watching pro sports teams is, in your mind, "not liking sports." As if the primary function of "sports" is to be watched, rather than, y'know, played.

> It is a marker of quality for a city, a stamp of approval.

I really don't think so. It's more likely that causation works the other way: cities that are successful tend to attract sports teams to take advantage of the local market.

Take Seattle: lost its NBA team, lost its NHL team until very recently. Was just found to be the most desirable city for new college grads anyway. Nobody's been thinking that Seattle sucks because they only had two of the four major US pro sports present in the region.
> I did use the authenticator app plenty of times so I'm certain I had it set up.

Then it would be been impossible to login. Did you use a password that was leaked? If yes - may be they logged in - and you would have got a 'notification' on your phone to allow them. And you perhaps said yes to that remote login.
The cost to post (just an upload) is going to be a lot smaller in the long run than the cost for people to view popular content (tons and tons of bandwidth, some db access, etc.). So it's kind of a weird model to charge for posting or contributing. Really you'd want to charge for time spent viewing... and then you've basically invented AOL again.
Interacting with this website induced terror in me. Even accepting the use of cookies cost coins! Yes, it's making a strawman argument, but think of it like an interactive horror story.

It sparked an emotion and for me that makes something art.
I dont know, I only lived in Barcelona sorry, but I lived there pre-covid for about 6 months, then moved to Germany for 8 months, then back to Barcelona for about 3-4 months ... after I went back the city was a LOT scarier.
Valencia isn’t so bad, but almost nobody speaks English. This is very helpful if you want to learn Spanish :)

The food scene in Valencia isn’t half as good as in Barcelona though, but the beach is infinitely better and life tends to be more relaxed.

Pre-COVID I would have recommended Barcelona to anybody.
A device driver is program code like any other, so there's no way it can be magic. Whether it's simple or complex depends on a couple of things. Some hardware maps registers into memory and you communicate it by reading from/writing to these addresses. This is very common in simpler architectures like microcontrollers. Other times, your hardware is attached to shared system busses like PCI or USB and you need to go through driver layers for them. Of course, there's the occasional bit of quirky hardware that requires that the driver does some odd things, but even that isn't magic if you understand the device hardware.

I think the biggest source of complexity for device drivers is the expectations that come with the design of the operating system the driver should run on. If there are e.g. strong expectations that device drivers don't block for certain operations or keep certain locks for extended amounts of time, then the driver may gain a lot of complexity from trying to play nice. Modern optimized desktop and server operating system are somewhat guilty of forcing that kind of complexity onto device drivers.
Are many Russians moving there because of the sanctions?
I would like to be as optimistic as you but this seems contrary to the article and the comments in that thread suggesting the sanctions on oil still have not shown their effects, and it has just started to make Europe question its Gas dependency. Departure will take at least a decade if chosen. As stated until then Europe will not be able to really sanction Russia.
You can have web3 without blockchain and blockchain without web3.

If your use-case requires some form of transfer, or proof of ownership of digital assets then blockchain is usually the most appropriate.

Most things branded as web3 aren't. Especially the recent bubble of art NFTs. That does not mean that the concept is pointless.

There's counterexamples for each of those though; just thinking of Flint, Michigan, or the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020. Also I had to replace a light switch in my shed the other day.
I think this is also like the whole "you learn that the stove is hot by touching it once" philosophy, which kinda discounts humans' abilities to learn through second-hand information in my humble opinion!

There's a huge amount of literature about people underestimating negative risk to problems, so the assertion seems to be scientifically incorrect. But there is definitely a strain of this in lots of successful business ventures (for better or for worse), so it's probably good advice if you want to make a lot of money!

Bonus points for being able to navigate the negative social consequences for being the person with this risk calibration without feeling too guilty about it.
The old adage went like this: Windows for games, macOS for work, Linux for servers.

I'm hoping that Steam Deck will change this to Linux (Proton) for games, macOS for work and Linux for servers.
Yes! Even though I prefer "flat" instead skeuomorphism, which imposes real materials (wooden, notebook, etc) in a 2d surface (a display), I think. Glowing-glass looks much more realistic and complete.
> The more interesting question is then: how do you know whether you're in a parachute case or a frantically locking doors case?

Isn't it obvious most of the time? Just consider what the risk would be, and then consider if you're OK with that risk actually happening. Most people probably wouldn't be OK with a parachute failure or a robbery, but they'd probably be okay with missing a single flight or getting a speeding ticket.

I guess the really interesting question is what happens if you actually aren't even aware of what the risk you're taking is. It's hard for me to think of examples of that case, though.
The former - my understanding is that anything that can be used to identify a user is considered personal data, so even things that would be benign/meaningless in isolation would count if they produce a unique enough signal when aggregated.
Indeed, value for whom?
Never forget that cryptocurrencies are essentially software, therefore it can most likely change to overcome its present pitfalls. You don’t like the negative environmental impact that PoW has? There are many eco-friendly cryptocurrencies that don’t use PoW. Don’t like that the fees are too high? There are feeless cryptocurrencies. Don’t like that many cryptos are VC money schemes? There are many with fair distribution, etc… You get the point.

This is why cryptos are here to stay. The underlying technology is valuable and the problems it may have today can be overcome.
We are talking about the context of publicly funded professional sports stadiums. Unless you are a professional athlete, we are talking about watching and not participating in sports.
> Sports teams provide utility to people in the region, including people who never pay a cent for a ticket or merchandise

Even if we assume that to be true, you have to also look at the costs: providing the required transportation infrastructure, policing sports fans, cleaning up after them (including vandalism) etc. Making matters worse, the "utility" sports teams bring is limited to a few businesses (hotels, restaurants, pubs, shops selling merchandise etc.), while the costs are paid by the taxpayer, i.e. all residents.
Secure defaults are super important, especially on complex systems as people will not want to mess with the out of the box configuration too much when setting things up.

One additional consideration is that the secure defaults should be usable, otherwise the tendency will be to just disable them entirely (think SELinux and how commonly that's turned off as the first action on server setup)
> Distributed as in, everybody has a server in their pocket. It's your data, and you decide who has access to it.

That sounds nice. But what I read, web3 is intimitaley related to blockchains. I doubt that blockchains are necessary to obtain decentralisation and data ownership.
Who can make nice product/company introduction videos?
Hey.

I have been looking for a designer who could do nice product/service introduction videos on modern motion design style like this:

Any ideas where I could find someone to make it or what is even the right search term for style like that?
Deflation is exactly what would have happened had the fed not stepped in with their money printing. It's just that they printed way too much and did it very inefficiently, with a lot going to scammers.
Really appreciate this reply, I will bump Lisboa in my mental ranking then!
I think the notion of Samsung phones having terrible bundled apps and janky UI might be outdated. Samsung phones got better than the previous "stock ROM" kings (Pixels and OnePluses come to mind).

MKBHD talked about this recently, https://youtu.be/qWIkBMNKj1s?t=614 timestamp included. I do not own a Samsung phone, so I can't speak to the amount of ads, but it seems they were not sleeping all these years and made the experience a benchmark for other android-flavored phones.

They became solid, somehow boring and just work. Feel free to correct me, it is just a thought.
While the article delivers nice explanations for what kind of technical dept exist, it stays very generic and hand-wavy for the solutions. Bringing "microservices" into the room is definitely not helpful. Ownership and setting a quality bar..., sure but how does that look like? As I developer I maybe have an idea but I also need to sell that to management. As manager I have an idea too but I need to convince my developers to strive for quality and sustainability.

Sometimes I wish these articles would just state: Stop sprinting

Also: document your decisions! If you have to write down and justify your (prudent) technical dept, you maybe catch some stuff before it's written in code. It also makes sure more people are aware of it. Additionally, it sometimes prevents CV driven development, which imho is a big problem in tech. Overall, documentation is a very underused tool.

Finally: teach everyone (especially marketing) that software development is expensive, so everybody thinks twice before wishing for nice to have features done quick.
I get that "Web 3.0" is catchy as "Web 2.0" was back in the day but I wish people would stop trying to version "the web". It doesn't make any sense.
You didn't say "It is ok if you don't like watching sports."

The way people frame and phrase things is quite revealing.
Given that 99% of GDPR stuff goes unenforced, presumably it's the former.

If you understand the GDPR exclusively based on legal precedent, you'd probably conclude the GDPR doesn't exist.
It's the kind of example that would make me uncomfortable to work with Docker / cloud things; I'm sure I could set up stuff within a day, but there's a lot of Things That You Should Happen To Know like this example that are easily missed - especially when you're in an environment where there's pressure on you to deliver, instead of a focus on doing things right.
John Oliver did a Last Week Tonight on exactly this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xcwJt4bcnXs
AFAIK historically Home Screen web apps were run in a separate runner from the main Safari based on the web view control, and thus limited. There was a time they didn't get native JIT for javascript, either.

My suspicion is that they internally treat it as their own third party browser - e.g. they don't want to give it more entitlements/capabilities than a Firefox or Chrome browser would have from the iOS app store.

My suspicion also is that they have had a bit more wood behind the arrow to get media APIs working lately due to pushing large third-party cloud game subscription services to use the browser, and the regulatory scrutiny that likely brought on.

The linked video has the description:

The first noble truth of Buddhism states simply that suffering exists.

"Suffering" is perhaps not quite the right word. A quote from Sylvia Boorstein explains the Buddhist approach better, I think:

Life is painful; Suffering is optional.

The vehement shilling against anything blockchain related is something I still don't really get. Sure, I get it, you don't like blockchain.

What is the most important data (or strava features) you want to keep?

I was actually looking into this myself, and a few parts of strava are not that hard.
For me the overview of my rides (including avg speed and distance is important), I quickly implemented a webpage with javascript and leaflet (map viewer), and I could present that data pretty quickly using geojson. I had an offline program which converted gpx traces to geojson, but I'm pretty sure I'm able to read gpx in javascript directly.
The harder part is generating the gpx trace (which I used komoot app for), as this involves matching your trace (gps positions) on a map instead of using the data as is.
I wonder, how is that justified, to pay new grads more than some people with real life experience?

Maybe blockchains immutability is going to actually make people think twice before putting something online.

"Web2" makes us think that we can delete whatever we post, or what we send is not going to be stored. And we believe it because it is technically possible, even though we don't have any way to double check.

If a service claims that you can delete/hide whatever data you uploaded on the blockchain, you'd be able to verify it and not only trust them.
And if you are told that using this service, there is no way to delete it, and that anybody can see it, you might avoid doing something that you'd have done with web2 and regretted later.

It hasn't been overcome in 15 years but they will fix it soon. Sure...

Software isn't some magic that can wish away its shorcomings.

Also, do you think the next instagram that will most like support its own crypto will allow you to switch to a different crypto?

ETA: the transaction cost is based on the cryptocurrency, so if now the cost per transaction is 1 cent then in 10 years it might cost 10 dollars if the value of the coin goes up.
You don't get these tradeoffs for free though. Anyone can make a "crypto currency" that is entirely centralised and has no fees and minimal environmental impact. Nobody would use it. I think much of the desire of crypto comes from being decentralised, and I am yet to see a crypto that doesn't use PoW that doesn't just favor those who are already rich.
How to search for gaffers tape without typing "gaffers tape" :D
Of course world cities like Tokyo, London or Paris are known for all sorts of things other than sports, that's why they are world cities.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure German cities like Dortmund and Leverkusen are primarily known because of their soccer teams (at least among those who are into soccer, and that is a lot).
You don't mention if you speak any languages other than English?

Whilst you'll get by OK in any large city with just English, some places are better than others. For example, in my experience, Lisbon (and Portugal in general) has a much higher level of English than Barcelona.

Maybe language isn't a huge concern for you but you still have a level of bureaucracy and settling in moving to any new place.
> Local governments do subsidize movie production with all sorts of funding and grants.

Which is dumb, though I don't think the stupidity quite reaches "city spends a billion dollars for one particular team" level.

> This also affects other businesses in the city that benefit from the spending done by those that travel into the cities.

Again, the research on this is quite clear: the economic benefits there are meager at best.

> Ever heard of... - London: Arsenal, Chelsea, or Tottenham (Soccer), Wimbledon Championships (Tennis) - Paris: PSG (Soccer), French Open (Tennis)

I've heard of most of those, I guess I've just never heard of my friends or family going to see them, even though many have visited those cities (and myself as well).
> As these articles keep reminding me, you only need to fake competence to management to get the green light.

Well, managers aren't scientists looking for truth. They are people running businesses that need to stay afloat and get stuff done. There's a lot of wiggle room there, mostly due to time pressure (from a charitable perspective, less charitable: also because of company politics).
I’m sure that globally London and probably Paris (probably a bit more debatable) are much better know for their professional sports teams than any city in the US.
I can relate to this.

I went to a state school in a country where the only way in to university is by taking a test (this was in the early 00's), so I went to one of these cram schools after I finished high school. The cram school was focused on students of lower income families who would otherwise not have the means to attend a more prestigious one, and I remember in the inauguration ceremony for my year's class, one of their former students was invited to give a speech.

Her story was that after four years trying to get into medical school (i.e. four years attending the same cram school), she was given a tuition scholarship to a more prestigious cram school for her fifth year, and then she finally passed the test.

The thing is, this wasn't even an elite school -- it was just the only federal (state-funded) medical school in our state. The fact that the students' only way in was by taking the exam -- extracurriculars were not taken into account there also -- only made it even more of an _achievement_ for you to actually get in, especially if you were not from an upper middle class family.

We once upon a time had a thing where we would have feature branches, and off of those we'd make task branches that would be merged (or a PR) back into the feature branch, then a final review and validation before the feature branch goes back into main. It kinda worked for us. This was nearly ten years ago.
Yes, thank you. I feel like this is just upvoted because the general feeling of HN = 'Blockchain bad'. But the message of this site is pretty ridiculous. It's telling the user that social media platforms built directly on ETH blockchain doesn't make sense because of the fees.

But..

a) who said that the point of web 3.0 is building social media platforms?

b) people in favour of blockchain tech already know that there are use cases that don't make sense to build on Layer 1 blockchains such as ETH, which is why there are numerous Layer 2 solutions being researched right now.
As they always say, pessimism and cynicism is the mother of all innovation.

Seriously though, this is just a cheap shot at the web3/cryptography/cryptocurrency/de* space.
That's no contradiction. Logistics and manufacturing works because people are spending their professional lives maintaining them. It's the outside that doesn't see these efforts, for them it "just works". Like electricity.
For those genuinely curious about Web3:

The new thing is that we can now enforce invariants on state transitions in a decentralized manner for a limited set of applications (mostly financial).

With all the capital inflow thanks to the various crypto bubbles there is an insane amount of cryptography and distributed systems research going on to let us build general purpose decentralized databases in the future.

Once we get there, it’ll obviously change all of our assumptions about the internet which are based on companies controlling centralized databases.

The above author mentions that these machines are from Eastern Germany. As I am from Eastern Germany myself, I can tell you that we had regulations in place, that machines had to last and had to be repairable. Those regulations came into place, because we had heavily resource problems.

Funfact: Those type of regulations are heavily discussed even these times again, when I look at EU right to be repair, or the discussions specifically around John Deere and the right to be repair.

Seriously, this is what you are focusing on in my comments? I tried to engage with you in a constructive conversation about this issue, but I guess forget that because I wasn't 100% explicit that when talking about funding professional sports stadiums that we are talking about watching rather than participating in sports.

The idea is that as her husband is a billionaire, she had access to better healthcare and more likely to undergo screening. I know many breast cancer patients from India and almost none of them underwent regular screening, and as a result all of them caught the disease as it had progressed a lot more than the case of Seema. As she had access to regular screening, and got diagnosed at a earlier stage, her prognosis was a lot better than for the average upper class Indian with access to quality medical insurance. You must also consider the fact that most medical insurance in India dont cover breast cancer screening.
