I've been using the Kagi beta for a few months now, and it's awesome: https://kagi.com/

The biggest thing I've found is that when doing technical searches it always turns up the sources I'm actually looking for, actively filtering all the GitHub/StackOverflow copycat sites.

It also seems to up-weight official docs compared to Google. For example, "how to read a json file in python" turns up the Python docs as the second result, where in Google they're nowhere to be found.
It doesn't make you liable for contributing to an open source Blockchain project, but as a node, you are not allowed to put transactions from sanctioned individuals in your new block or include new blocks that have auch transactions in your chain, causing a fork. This seems utterly reasonable, and Warren appears to understand cryptocurrencies better than the people holding cryptocurrencies. In practice, if there are more nodes not under this law than that are under this law, nodes under this law would shut down, reducing energy usage in the US.
It's literally the opposite argument
Likewise it’s such a cool concept for the digital to come alive in the physical realm. I worked on an art project a few years ago that has a lot of similarities to the op https://github.com/kfarr/magic-matta#how-does-it-work
I don't think lawmakers are that dumb. They will have used words like "easy" in the law. If it's taken to a court, then the judge might very well deem the technical solution to not be easy if he is convinced that it was intentionally or even accidentally made much harder than necessary. And that could get expensive.

Stores don't help if someone else is willing to pay more for the grain as infamously demonstrated in famines in productive regions (Irish Potato Famine and Holodomor).

Just reserves lead to speculation dynamics in shortages. There is always an expectation of the reserve running out and panics turn it self-fuffilling as infamously demonstrated by supply chain issues or possibility of snowfall. Increased production kills the expected future price.

I also like 1password, but discovered them after unlimited licensing was dead and buried. The only offer that was ever clear to me was "you pay $X per month forever", and I'm personally fine with that. (My understanding is that you can go out of your way to find information about the non-hosted unlimited plan still; I never knew it existed and never bought it.)

What did go wrong here was that their earliest adopters got screwed by the change in direction of the business. They are right to be angry, if you say "pay us $X to support you for the rest of time", then people should expect that their $X pays for support for the rest of time. That was the deal, and you can't alter the deal and expect people to be pleased. It is possible to structure the finances to support this pricing; set $X to how much money you'd invest in the stock market or a savings account such that the yearly interest covers the yearly support cost. Clearly, that didn't happen, or they want the interest for themselves instead of support, and that upsets the devoted early adopters who loved the product and the company. That is exactly the group of people you don't want to make mad, and that's the failing here.

(Side note, I wanted to do some actual math on the pricing here. Say you hate SaaS and want an unlimited license for something. You can just do the financial hacks yourself! If a product costs $100 per month, that's $1200 per year. To get $1200 per year out of a savings account, just deposit... $145,000 at 0.7% APY. I guess this is why people don't actually do the "unlimited license" thing ;)

I think it's a super easy misstep for any startup to make. Realize your business model doesn't work, pivot, and leave the early adopters in the dust. Most of the time, because you're growing so fast, it doesn't matter. But you will see rants like this on HN, and they could be avoided with a transition plan. ("We'll give you the SaaS version for free forever!") Just depends on how much you care.

Remember how much "techies" liked Google back in the day? The sentiment on HN is a lot different today. That's what happens as you grow; you lose touch with the early users. Sometimes your vision might be better than them, and you don't need them. But nobody wants to be told by someone they love, "I don't need you anymore".
It always was; the "software market" was always fake.
How many days since a record-high temperature?
very interesting, i'm inspired to do some quick loose math

1 in 10 people are avid fans (3 in 10 if you include casual)

7 in 10 are under the age of 45 - negligible covid deaths, so we'll look at the 3 in 10 over 45

~20% could have been vaccinated if they didn't listen to JRE

it's estimated that ~200k lives could have been saved by the vaccine [0]

so

.1 * .3 * .2 * 200k is the number of deaths attributable to Joe Rogan

They obviously chose not to offer end-to-end before, but now they can't even if they wanted to. So it's a distinction without a difference. It's open by default.
Same with me; I recall being taught to start things off with an outline, as you described. For work - where I get less chances to craft essays/long-form writing, it seems that lists prevail. It is more about "getting things done"/conveying actions/todos as fast/efficient as possible vs longer-form writing where there is opportunity to enjoy the "trip", or at least gradually dive into a particular topic. For me, essays - at least nowadays - are like slowly wading into the ocean deeper and deeper for enjoyment...While crafting lists is like taking a shower; a fast, practical way to get clean. ;-)
I didn't mean it that way, and it's all relative really. There are a ton of houses above and below my price point.
Interesting. I'll do that. I can't hit the key without removing my finger from the 'J' key but I can still do so if I move my wrist and not my arm.
If you type a bank password without checking that it's an encrypted connection you might be in trouble. Pretty sure strict transport would stop that though.

The main reason seems to just be that some people care about the fact they can see what servers you connect to and what your MAC is, and that people don't always check whether things are encrypted, combined with the historical fact that there used to be plenty of important things that weren't encrypted. Now there's only a few.
Sorry, blockchains don’t work that way. We ain’t forking for senator Karen. She can fork off.

It does not seem reasonable in the slightest. There is no way to know a transaction is forbidden. Anyway, this technology was invented so tyrants have no power here.

You didn't mention any current legislation specifically, just that there's legislation on-going.

> you went "both sides"

I don't know why people like you act like this is a bad thing. The left isn't good, or really great. In fact, it kind of sucks, just a little less than the right. White-bashing has become common place and acceptable in left-leaning circles, misandry has taken off like never before, when I was living in San Diego I watched self-proclaimed leftists in Ocean Beach dressed in all black, helmets, and baseball gear beat the shit out of people with bikes, knives, and CS gas. A prominent antisemite has been allowed to not only stay in office but also continue in committees and receives praise to this day.

On the other hand, you're right that the right has allowed bad behavior to make it into the actual representational ranks with those like MTG (there are more, just an example). From my perspective, that doesn't make the left any much better than the right, other than that they have some material functions within the DNC that allow them to keep those kinds of people (who are still constituents) away. I do think the RNC needs to implement these functions, and I understand why they didn't, but the US never would've gotten a world with Donald Trump had the right implemented super delegates the way the left does.

Maybe instead of acting like the left is a rosy and immaculate institution you should examine the fractures in the facade that people try to cover up with warm rhetoric.

This is always true at first. People laughed at the idea of getting truly significant power from solar and wind only a decade or two ago. First you make something work, then you scale it.

Yes, ironically one of the forms of investment that maybe isn't biased (or isn't as much biased) is the same one you should favor because of the bias.

There are probably a few others exceptions. For sure they are hard to find, but it's very likely that they exist.

You realize that the word "media" appears nowhere in my comment, right?

My intention was to point out a general trend across all discourse, be that traditional media, or even between individuals.
In general, how disruptive a comparatively small change is has everything to do with how stable your footing is. Changes like daylight savings can be very disruptive for anyone who struggles to maintain a routine just to make life livable.
I don't think anyone has a clear view about what a diplomatic end to the war would actually look like. Although Russia has been fairly clear on it's demands, a lot of ambiguity remains on how they would actually be implemented in Ukraine, and what post war foreign relations look like for Russia. e.g. is there any path to more stable relations with the western world.

I suggest reading articles an analysis prior to 2022 for context. I find that it far more objective than writing after the outbreak of war.

The two Wikipedia articles linked were also very helpful in understanding the situation

> but billion dollar company Google will happily recommend it as the most relevant result above a legitimate website?

Because the site most likely is laden with Google Ads, it's in their interest to show you that garbage and not what you're actually looking for.
Maybe kill…but probably enslave??
I usually take notes on what I do, but if I’m forgetting what I did yesterday, it’s likely because my brain is so completely absorbed in the task of the last five minutes that I don’t mentally exist on this planet anymore. I could figure it out, but that would require turning my attention back to earth, and the problem I’m absorbed in is too fascinating to let go right now.
I'd love to be able to add a tag to a search to have it exclude sites with any kind of monetization, I know that's not realistic cuz that's where Google makes most of its money (or do they make most of their money somewhere other than advertising these days?). Anyways, yeah, I'm sick of SEO optimized, click optimized, advertising optimized, affiliate link optimized crap.
> A necessity of life has become a competitive investment vehicle

My perspective is that a necessity of life (land) has started bumping up against the limits of nature. Population has drastically increased, and for various reasons such as increased access to information, economic agglomeration, etc, certain areas of land are in far more demand than others relative to supply.

Allocating scarce resources (sufficient land to have a detached single family home and a driveway) in such a scenario will always lead to some people getting what they want, while others do not.

Some options are (not exclusive to these)

-letting certain classes of people have higher priority than others (such as California’s law that keeps property taxes artificially low for those who were there before others)

-letting the amount of money determine who gets to live where, due to increasing house prices and commensurate increases in property taxes.

-changing zoning laws so that areas are modified from low density to high density housing, increasing the supply. This one causes various knock on effects, hence it is fought against in popular places that have reached its limits under the existing scheme (such as Bay Area and SFH)

There are no options where no one has to sacrifice. The investment vehicle aspect of land is negligible and more of a consequence of the extreme variations in demand of land in different regions.

While there are many footguns in the ipsec, if you have set ip up, you can have better performance with ipsec than with wireguard.

Many devices include ipsec hardware acceleration, while wireguard ciphers are purely in software. With your typical Ubiquiti or Mikrotik device you can have much more performant connection encrypted with aes+sha than with chacha+poly.

I think most of the answers to my question repeat this assertion, without really answering the "why?" part.

If you are a legalist, a loophole in the law is the law as well. So yes, whether or not you agree with the loophole is irrelevant

I want the world to allow this!

> "But I already do it" (paraphrasing)

Not legally. If you hit "Agree" on a contract that says you will pay until cancel and then you stop paying without canceling, you're still legally on the hook for the payment. Technically. Most companies won't actually send you to collections. But they can, and sometimes they do, which is why credit card companies can't make GUIs to bring your subscriptions front and center with nice user friendly "cancel" buttons. Sometimes they still try to do this, but behind the scenes someone has to cancel on your behalf so it isn't reliable.

Upgrading your strategy from "technically illegal" to "legal and normal" is how we bring it to the masses :)
The play is in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) electric price arbitrage, the article even mentions that a full third of the revenue from the program is coming from selling V2G power generation back to the grid.
Surely crypto exchanges must be regulated to avoid russian money bypassing the sanctions. But just a quick reminder that Deutsche Bank was convicted and fined of laundering $10bn using the traditional banking system [0], and stock swaps in particular. Yes, this is whataboutism at its finest, but I just don't like the narrative some politicians establish around crypto being a prime source of money laundering.

Maybe, but legally the company could probably force you to pay if they want to follow up on it.
They removed the lines and the posted signs, too.
It's not just the cost over time, it's the availability of capital in large clumps - also known as "the cost of being poor:" It may be 5x cheaper in the long run to pay 3x the cost today, but if you don't have 3x the cost today, well, good luck.
There's a difference in the individual level and the species level. An individual does not necessarily have to be concerned with direct propagation to participate in propagation. A bee that kills itself stinging something that is attacking the hive potentially increases the overall survival of the genes which it shares with the hive, even at the expense of its own particular genes. An individual human who assists in the aid of other adult members or children in the group, even though they themselves do might not mate successfully, does something similar.

It is all-consuming in the sense that it is fundamental to life by definition. (Unless we are to posit some organism arising from proto-life and just 'hanging out' until the end of the universe.) And it is the second half fundamental to evolution -- the other being death.
The semantics of the BEAM VM and Erlang Run-Time System (ERTS) are much closer to the typical semantics of a large dynamic web app backend than those of Python. No surprise there, it was designed to support telephone exchanges. It provides facilities natively that have to be "bolted on" to Python.

I might still write a prototype or proof-of-concept web app in Python, but for anything more serious it seems to me that the advantages of Erlang loom large (and that's before you get to Phoenix LiveView: https://www.phoenixframework.org/ )
Based on S4 forms, Zillow execs made a cumulative $1.3B from what might have been called a ponzi scheme, so it was overall well played.

I wonder if this new trend of software needing periodic payment to function will boost FLOSS adoption.
Change the word "house" to "car" and I think the problem becomes not-so obvious.

It's often bemoaned that personal cars are a waste of money and space: they sit idle most of the time, we have to build parking lots to accommodate them and that takes space. It would be so much better if we could just hire cars on demand! But this doesn't scale because the demand is not spread out during the day -- absent carpooling, you still need one car per person twice a day, meaning the supposed savings don't exist.

The same could be said for housing. If I'm at work all day, then my house is sitting idle (it's not housing anyone) and it takes up space. Why not let someone live in my house while I'm at work? This also doesn't scale but for a different reason: we all work during the day (excluding night-shift workers) so at night we still need one house per person (ignoring families, stretching the metaphor a bit).

Now add "vacation homes" into the mix, now you're looking at ~20% of housing (calculated from empirical analysis) in any vacation hot-spots being rental properties. This means that 20% of the existing housing that could be available for permanent residents is missing.

Saying "just build more housing" is just not realistic. 20% more housing is a ludicrous amount of housing!

Hotels, on the whole, are much more economical in space utilization because people who are going on vacation do not vacation to _visit a home_. They go to do things in the place they are visiting and are thus _not at home_.
It would fly in the EU, if you branded your product accordingly. Maybe "Product of the USA" doesn't mean much legally. In the EU you can probably brand something as "Product of the EU", but you can't make wine in your basement and call it Prosecco, because "Prosecco" is a PDO wine/name and must be produced in Valdobbiadene and Conegliano using local grapes. Maybe somebody should register a brand and license it to producers that follow certain processes? Certainly there are private companies already doing that, but nobody cares.

To be honest, these protected denominations favour the producers more than the consumer. If you think about it, from the consumer's perspective, it doesn't really make sense to prevent somebody in Florence from producing Prosecco, if they follow the correct procedures and use the correct grapes. The same applies for meat origin labelling, why should I care if my steak comes from the UK? I would understand Argentina... I find way more relevant knowing the breed rather than the country of origin (What's this? Angus? Chianina? https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/steak/sainsburys...)

But I digress.
You're missing the larger point which is that if you make your money by working for other people, your reputation and your skillset in that environment matters. Yes, you should look out for yourself first, but that doesn't require taking an adversarial stance to management. To the contrary, if you make some effort to understand your manager and the broader business context, you can reap much larger rewards. Obviously that assumes your boss is not a muppet, but in that case you have bigger problems.

The idea that you just job hop to promos is currently true for the low end, but there's a glass ceiling there. As a hiring manager, someone who got promoted to staff+ in a reputable company with a high bar is an order of magnitude stronger signal than someone who was hired directly into that level at the same company. Also, the current market and comp for software engineers is a result of the decade bull run of big tech. This will not continue forever. I was around during the dotcom bubble as well, and I can tell you, when the music stops you won't wanna be the guy who has a series of two year stints with progressively higher salaries but no close contacts who will fight to hire you.
Apparently there's an important patent on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries that expires next month (on April 27th). I'm hoping that changes the economics on batteries and that LFPs become cheap and abundant, and widely available from a variety of manufacturers that aren't located in China.

LFP seems like the obvious choice for large vehicles like buses unless there's some reason to really need to optimize for range. In schoolbuses especially, it would be good to use a kind of battery that's much less likely to catch on fire.
Im so used to the UI (down to the fonts, things I can't even name), that DuckDuckGo looks off to me. So although it is set as my standar search engine, I g! most of the time.
That's nothing to do with the codec or the resolution
You can believe they don't, but the fact is that they do, and if this law passes, you will suffer the consequences of breaking the law if you run a noncompliant node, just as you would suffer the consequences of running a noncompliant bank. Blockchains don't magically make you above the law.
