Distrubuted virtual machines are the slowest, most expensive compute possible to devise - they wear "trustless" as a virtue but you save gobs of time and money with just an ounce of trust.

I do believe distributed hash tables as used in IPFS and webtorrent are enabling some futuristic anti-censorship tech, and using metamask for identity is pretty cool, but smart contracts are very stupid - just post the source code and let anyone run it, why does the source need to be stores forever on everyone's computer?

There are some really bad incentives with ETH contracts apecifically - the number of instructions your code compiles to determines the gas fees to run the code every time - want to add a type check, range check, write code a little more verbose so its easier to understand ? all of that adds multiple-dollars-per-api-call. That's one reason multi-million dollar hacks are so common. Check out https://rekt.news , they do a good balance between technical and laymen-accessible about how these hacks happen.

From this mechanism? Zero. And if even if it was zero anyways, these measures are not justified. There are plenty of other ways to catch out criminals that doesn’t involve dubious phoning home. Devices that treat their owners like potential criminals are nothing more than government informants.

Also… The goal of law enforcement is not to vengefully destroy the lives of people who commit crime, but that’s a whole different can of tuna. Still worth noting, because it hints at a larger problem about how we approach heinous crimes.
Yeah, HN is negative about it precisely because it is an unbiased forum. What skin in the game would people have? This is a generic tech forum, it's about as neutral as you can get (admittedly there is a hive mind, but I think that mostly comes out when something political comes up - look at a Rust article for an example of how a "polarizing" tech gets discussed, the discourse is nothing like for blockchain). If you go to some "web3" discussion, you've automatically selected for bias.
I don't get how reach the conclusion that the aristocrats lacked awareness because they held stilt marathons to celebrate the tradition?

Interesting mentioning Latin America and Chile here, Friedman was a big fan of Pinochet in Chile, as Pinochet implemented Friedman's ideas by torturing, killing, and disappearing thousands, all under the guise of of stopping inflation.
I think it is more evil than that. You can print 100 billion of your currency and hand it to your crony friends. Boom they are all multi-billionares now. Everyone else (not your friends) gets screwed immediately. It's stealing but it looks like it isn't. That is why gold is critical (or some other unit not easy to create).

To add, this is why people serious about their business generally will enter into contracts with other businesses to ensure either side can't screw each other over. And it provides a clear transition plan if one party wants to leave.

It’s harder to enforce regulations for self-custody crypto than it is to enforce regulations on centralized banks that hold wealth for you.

To me it seems like it’s pretty much peak mid-1990s tech advertising. Pick up any issue of WIRED from this time period and it’s filled with advertisements with similar kinds of aggressively strange imagery. Things like this were definitely memorable - I certainly can never forget the infamous Logitech ad with the peeing baby. I wouldn’t be surprised if much of this style of imagery all came from the same ad firm.

It still won’t be free for at least two reasons:
1. By the time you must repay the debt you will need to curb your consumption to less than the future production’s capacity.
2. During the initial borrowing phase you will increase consumption relative to other participants, curtailing their utility.

It sounds like they basically reused the same design that they used to build PowerPC Macs that could run (legacy) Motorola 68k applications.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_68k_emulator

When you ran a legacy 68k app, the code of the app itself ran under CPU emulation. But they ported some of the system to PowerPC, and when the legacy app called into those particular parts of the system, that part of the code ran natively. Some lucky apps (with the right workload) ran surprisingly fast.

Looking at the MAE architecture diagram, it looks very similar, with some of the Mac system sitting atop the 68k emulator but some of it sitting atop a layer that doesn't go through emulation.
granted it does need an unobstructed view of the sky, so getting it on a PCI-e board would be an innovation (:
From her patreon. She has 5600 patrons and her only subscription option is $5/mo.

Her videos have only 4-digit views, but they are all multiple hours long Vimeo is asking for around $7/hour of video/year.
Initially I dismissed this comment as I remember it changing name and I'm still in my twenties, but it turns out that it got renamed the same year I actually switched to GNU/Linux, so I was very close to missing the original name :)
Isn't it so though? What viable alternatives exist?
I wonder why you feel the need to bring up identity here. Don't, it does not add anything, detracts from the discussion and leads to nothing good.
It is low for just bandwidth, but I imagine the assumption is that it also represents the relative scale/cost for transcoding, storage, etc, as well. It still isn't cheap compared to diy, but that's what you're paying for, I guess.
You are right, I didn't phrase it correctly, what I is meant that since Nougat I'm not aware of way to force system-wide use of a user certificate without gaining root access.

You can walk to the farm and negotiate with the farmer to buy from him rather than allowing it to be transported back by diesel, are you doing this or is this just more hypocrisy?
"top 1%" with these figures tells you more about the problems Vimeo have than anything else, surely. Even if they are all very long videos.

It sounds almost like they've abandoned any attempt to find cost-savings through scale and they are heading towards being dependent on the services of an off-the-shelf developer-focussed competitor.
By definition information must phone home somehow. How else is apple's spy department going to know if there's a "visual match"? Local scanning doesn't mean anything, it's an excuse to impliment the feature that will be changed later on anyways. That's how the slippery slope of precedent works.
Hate to be that guy, but network packet. But yeah, it's quite the revelation especially when you realize other people can also sniff the network and capture the unencrypted traffic. Remember thinking nobody would waste so much time and energy. How young and naive I was back then.

The Soviet blockage was a motivation for exploring the polar route rather than a direct route through Russia and China, since both of those airspaces were closed.[1] While it turned out to be even shorter, it wasn't a route without difficulties, as emergency landings would prove very difficult compared to over south Asia.

No.

The “famous” cases of hyperinflation—Weimar Germany, Argentina, etc—all come with extraordinary political instability as well. I’m not an economist, but it seems to me safe to say that hyperinflation is as much a political phenomenon as it is a monetary one.

Now, it’s certainly possible that the US is facing such political risks, what with efforts to disenfranchise large groups of people, entrenched rule-by-minority, and one of the two major parties expressing strong support for anti-democratic ideologies. (See https://carnegieendowment.org/publications/86352, for example.)

But when people express concerns about hyperinflation—without mentioning the political component—it’s a bit like having a suspicious growth on your shoulder, and worrying that the diagnosis might come back that you’re not going to be able to walk around shirtless anymore.
It’s a good short term play. If you extract 3k instead of 70/month you basically get paid for 3 years in one month. Clients are lost but good will isn’t that valuable when you have given up on growing and moved to extraction

Comments, I believe.
If you haven't made an argument or come to discuss it doesn't seem like the statements are adding value. Nobody you are responding to claimed solar or wind are panacea. You have claimed there are wrong places for them without evidence in support, besides a wild goose hunt for a Twitter thread?
We should put solar and wind wherever we get the chance. In areas with not a lot of wind and not a lot of sun we can use fission, invest in fusion, or drill down and leverage geothermal to offset on-demand generation requirements.
Germany is one of the third worst countries for renewables given the small land mass, high population, and snowy winters. They're still a leader in renewables. In 2015 no solar panel installations were economically viable. In the past 3 years 60% were. [0] At the end of the decade solar anywhere on the planet is going to be more economic than digging up and burning oil.
And in developing countries the potential of solar far outstrips current or projected energy usage. We should be sharing this IP so as to avoid countries like India from building fossil fuel plants to industrialize.

Tell that to Sunny Singh, the other Vimeo user who was featured in the Verge article, who did the math himself and had to admit that he was costing Vimeo $2500/yr.
Aside from small pizzas, I generally cut pizzas into 12 pieces. 8 slices ends up with unwieldy slices, 16 makes for overly narrow ones. Cut it however you want, of course, but for most average sized pizzas 12 makes for a nice sized slice.
Those who can afford to put 80% of their savings away for 20 years are those who are least vulnerable to the effects of inflation.

The people most affected are those who have most of their assets in cash or cash equivalents. The low and minimum wage earners who can't afford to invest in stocks. Those who are attempting to enter the property ladder who need to save a deposit for a mortgage and see that their savings are declining by 7.5%/year.

At an inflation rate of 7.8%, it takes only 9 years for the price of everything to double. That minimum wage earner now has had half of his hard work amount to nothing, but the house he wanted to buy is now twice as expensive.

Yes, if each originally maximally said "I want all 6 new slices" then it would be splitting the difference in their asks. However, in the case where Bob counters with an offer to split 6-6, it is no longer splitting the difference.

You can ask the same question about self-driving cars.
That's a good point, and I can somewhat understand that perspective for some types of software, especially projects geared at individual developers or very small companies.

For infrastructure tools that are typically adopted by an entire org or company though (as my products are), the situation is less understandable to me, even in the scenario where the user is a small bootstrapped company or solo dev.

I mean, my own company is small and bootstrapped, and I still pay for a number of commercial products because they provide benefit to my business or my own productivity. If I ever can't afford them in the future, that would probably indicate there are deeper existential problems with my business besides needing to rewrite some code to avoid use of those commercial products :)

Also, personally if I wanted to give money to open source software but was unsure about the future affordability of doing so, I would especially focus on donating to open source projects that are actively soliciting donations in the first place -- rather than arguing with a business owner over their lack of interest in donations, which is what some users have done in my case.
The other thing to consider is the that Google gets immense economy of scale from its other cloud business. So a one-product company like Vimeo will always struggle to compete in an economy-of-scale dominant vertical like storage.

Microsoft or AWS could compete here if they chose.
Aviation emissions are around 2% of total emissions (but have a stronger effect on a per-ton basis, so might be 5% of total effect). These routes are a tiny, tiny slice of the aviation sector.

This also seems like a great way to get everyone to leave. If what I wanted was a B2B platform, I wouldn't choose one with a history of suddenly changing its policies and only giving one week to catch up.

In fact, it's often much more difficult for a larger business to move that quickly than an independent user.

Web3 is centralized, MetaMask talks to Infura which runs on AWS. Its no small task to decentralize a smart contract platform.

Opportunity lies at the edges of technology, maybe in this vein you could dig into wasm instead.

kdiff3 does have a modern version: https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdiff3/.

Unfortunately versions starting at 1.9.0 are drastically buggier than 1.8.5: Ctrl+C being incorrectly enabled and disabled (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444636), merge errors (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437570, fixed), drastic slowdown when loading CRLF files (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=450411, fixed), recurring assertion errors (didn't personally encounter, but https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426301, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442618), large chunks of Git history producing unusable binaries that corrupt memory or print assertion errors when loading files, etc. I stopped following KDiff3 development and decided to pin 1.8.5 on my system, which actually works.

Another fork of KDiff3 is https://github.com/michaelxzhang/kdiff3. I haven't tested it, but I hope the alternative diff coloration makes it easier to see single-word/space insertions and deletions within a line (which is something I often fail to notice in mainline KDiff3).

> There is a somewhat homologous situation with regard to the heterosexual seduction process in our politically correct times. The two sets, the set of the politically correct behavior and the set of seduction, nowhere effectively intersect; that is to say, there is no seduction which is not in a way an incorrect intrusion or harassment. At some point you, if you are a seducer, you have to expose yourself to make a pass, as we usually put it.
So does this mean that every seduction is all the way through an incorrect harassment? No, and therein resides the catch. When you make a pass, you expose yourself to the other, the potential partner, and she decides retroactively, by her reaction, whether what you just did was harassment or a successful act of seduction. And there is no way to tell in advance what her reaction will be. This is why assertive women often despise weak men, because they fear to expose themselves, to take the necessary risk. And perhaps this holds even more in our politically correct times. Are not the politically correct prohibitions rules which in one way or another are to be violated in the seduction process? Is not the seducer's art to accomplish this violation properly, so that afterwards, by its acceptance, its harassing aspect will be retroactively canceled?

How does it eliminate egress cost? It just makes bolting their different services together free, at some point you'll pay for egress eventually, even if just a little.
Reading the title, I thought this will be about a fair splitting of home cooked pie (or any dish).
My go-to method for this is to divide the responsibilities. One party cuts (or decides where to cut in the case children are involved), the other party picks.
Does anyone use a better, fairer method?
