And I should add that in an age of increasing inequality, a network with a lot of elite members will increase in value much faster than inflation. So the value of an elite degree might still be a bargain even at the current prices. Which probably explains why there's a lot of bribery, legal and otherwise, by the rich trying to get students into brand-name schools.
What’s with the obsession with CP? I agree that it’s morally wrong and should be penalized but why is it perceived as the Ultimate Crime? Why is this tool supposedly for detecting CP only and not stolen bikes for sale, bullying through SMS, etc which are also criminal offenses?
Does it have to be so sinister? Were you a trooper doing speed enforcement, what would you care whether someone give fifty bucks three years ago to your agency's own union, or the FOP? If you are like other union members I've known, you might resent your union for not sticking their neck out for you enough, or for negotiating a weaker contract whatever you had before you unionize, overpromising and underdelivering and so on, the first thing secured during a contract negotiation being automatic dues deductions from your paycheck. Or maybe you like the union, but the "optics" of these stickers is not doing rank and file police any favors, mainly just the often AFL-CIO-affiliated unions themselves.

So Billy BMW clocks in at a brisk but almost reasonable 120mph as he was at least using his turn signals, you chase him down, you "light him up," then you see a union supporter sticker, would that sticker more likely than not work to his advantage with your discretion, because he may have kicked in a few bucks, or by the time you began interacting with this person, wouldn't other things, like his pulling far enough over to minimize your exposure to traffic and so on, matter more? These stickers offer utility not limited to bids for latitude, including political statements, that yes I think the police union, the most vilified institution in the US, is worth defending, and at the risk of getting my car keyed I will stick it on and hope others give money too. Another utility perhaps, maybe it's a signal to cops that, when they pull you over, run your plate and see that you have a CCW permit, that if you concern yourself in any way with police unions, you might be a little more likely not to try to shoot your way out of a ticket as you decide with how much caution you need to approach.

Besides, I routinely see people with these stickers and emblems and thin blue line things driving way too slow. Perhaps they like I do feel that there has been a war on police and it is a thing to push back on, on a flag mast on one's house, in Thanksgiving dinner table arguments, and yes, the bumper of one's car.
You're right, but this does have side effects. APIs like in app purchases and DRM freak out about the rogue signature.

It's also a huge hassle if you just want to see what metadata your phone is leaking.

If you're only going after a few specific apps then sure, you can just alter the APK. It's not hard to disassemble and patch the custom validation code most apps use either. The downside is just that it's a huge bother.
The 9600bps speed was, shall we put it, leisurely

I've been playing Zork at 600bps all morning. Haven't gotten very far, but at least it displays faster than I can read.
> If the government going to use tax dollars to collect all my data. They might as well turn it into a searchable service: "I know I email bob 20 years ago, I wish I could find that recipe I gave him". Maybe, they could email me with helpful things like "Y% of people in your area who google'd X, Y and Z had prostate cancer. You should talk to your doctor".

Yeah, exactly this!! If you must know all my financial transactions, can't you at least do my taxes for me? If you already know who I am all the time, why do I need like three forms of ID to get a updated driver's license? If you can track all the phones, do you really need to ask for name and phone number when I call 911?

It's just bizarre how much data they collect and then... ignore? It didn't catch terrorists, it didn't stop the capitol storming, it doesn't stop school shootings... what exactly do they do with it all? It's like a pointless subsidy for hard drive manufacturers, where personal information goes to die.

At least Google provides useful services in exchange for all the tracking. Even Facebook has the decency to let you connect with people you might know, and help you remember what you did 10 years ago. If the government just offered useful services in exchange, millions would willingly surrender their privacy. Most of us just aren't very interesting.
Maybe some missing features:

Screen burn. Leave it on for a few months displaying the same stuff

another badly shielded screen in the same room (yes that's real and
something I've actually seen).
HYP (Harvard, Yale and Princeton), and top tier law schools (Harvard, Yale, Stanford), top tier b schools (Harvard and Stanford) still control the whole thing.

Sure, if you can ace leetcode like an olympiad, you can become a L7 at FAANG. However, if you are a MBA from San Jose state, you would be working as a financial analyst. However, if you are a Stanford MBA, you would be a SVP.

Top tier firms in PE, VC, IC, and top tier consulting companies still go for elite colleges. Why? That is the path to c-level positions (not leetcode). Same thing for big law. Same thing goes for Washington consensus (the cesspool of Beltway), where pedigree matters.
There are countless opinions/suggestions on how to read the Bible (and the same applies to the Qu'ran for example).

If you are totally new to the Bible the important thing is probably to try and get enough from it at the start that you'll be interested enough to continue. I've read it through many times and some/much of it is pretty impenetrable, obscure, and even dull.

So from this perspective, and note that this isn't a great sequence theologically, I'd go with the book of Acts, the gospel of John, the books of Proverbs and Psalms, and then the letters of John.

As for which versions of the Bible, avoid older ones like the King James (KJV, NKJV) or Revised Standard (RSV, ASV, NRSV); the archaic language and structure will be off-putting. I'd perhaps go with the Contemporary English Version (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=acts+1&version=...) but the linked page will let you see the various translations of the same text using a drop-down.

There is no one ideal version of the Bible but personally I'd avoid any translation used by a single denomination or sect such as the NWT - which is produced by the Jehovah's Witnesses, and I'm meaning this not as a judgement regarding the organisation but as an example of a group whose translation has alternative readings at various doctrinal points (eg the trinity) and it is not worth getting sidetracked by theological disagreements at this stage.

Whatever route you choose be prepared for a hard slog as a casual reader.

Can you give an example? Not sure what you mean.
Cats can be very affectionate. I have three cats and they all jockey to get in my lap whenever I'm sitting or lay on my stomach if I'm reclining reading a book.

People who know cats as unkind typically have only met cats unknown to them.
The US is anti-children from the moment they are born. College is no exception. As someone with 2 kids under 2 years old, it’s one of those things you don’t think about until it happens to you.

- daycare is on average around $2k per month per child where I live.

- outside of tech, almost no companies pay for parental leave. At most, they are obligated to hold your position, but no pay is required. This is especially true if you or your spouse work in the healthcare field. It’s absolutely mind blowing how poorly employees are treated by their employers in the healthcare industry.

- childcare tax credits are an absolute joke. From the $32k in childcare I paid for last year, I got a $1,600 credit…

- once you have kids, your health insurance costs will be astronomical unless you’re lucky enough to work at a company that provides good insurance. In my situation, I run a small tech company where we don’t provide HC insurance (too costly atm). My wife works in healthcare. Our insurance is beyond a joke. Thousands per month with a $20k deductible. It’s hell.

- once your kids are in school they’re taught very little useful skills. It’s mostly an exercise in obedience and conformist thinking.

- once your child graduates high school they have the option to either take out hundreds of thousand of dollars in federally backed loans if they’re lucky enough to have parents that don’t make enough money. If they have middle class parents they’ll have to rely on even worse loans from private lenders.

So would I expect the US to punish middle class parents that foot the bill for their child’s college? Yes. The US hates the middle class, as much as they hate children.
I wasn't saying they were true, I think we're in agreement...
It’s at the top of the US page of CNN.com, also Google News and Apple News.

Probably the war in Ukraine gets more attention.

I’m sure that’s what the team that invented segment registers said too.

The question is does it make sense to add these to the ISA long term? In the short term, given die density and how memory works today, it has advantages. But die density increases, making OoO cores cheaper, and memory technology changes. It’s not obvious that these are long term improvements.
A large diff could crash a browser on an older or weaker device. I don't think Safari/WebKit has anything to do with it, though.

Because "documentation" isn't part of sprint or agile.

Modern middle managers think documentation is a roadblock, not an asset. They're wrong.
These have some diff functionality but are not "diff / merge tools". There are diff tools, though, targeted at lawyers for legal work: "show me the differences between these two contracts" and the such (which most developer-oriented tools actually suck at as they care too much about "lines" and whitespace).

If it was $60k of opportunity cost I might be willing to accept it as a progressive tax and let bygones be bygones. But $600k likely represents half of their net worth. "Considerate" only goes so far.
that is entirely a guess, though. there's actual documented evidence of colleges admitting less Asian-Americans and Jews than the test scores of either group would suggest, and Altman refers to this phenomenon in the thread.

> It seems the SAT is increasingly considered "racist" because it reveals racial disparities in learning. What's next? Get rid of the driver's license test because it turns that white kids pass it at a higher rate than black kids?

the SAT's a way of laundering discrepancies in generational wealth, which is indeed due to racist public policy as well as racist private actions. it may be intended not that way, but that's how it functions.

so what's next would be removing other methods of laundering racist public policy and racist private action. probably drivers' licenses would not show up on that list, and your assertion that it might is so ridiculous that it's hard to believe you're examining this topic with good faith.
exactly, as with humans, negative feedback is not only necessary but absolutely required to be able to exist around other beings, humans or otherwise. and yes, employ mostly positive reinforcement, and a small, focused, non-angry amount of negative feedback to show them the boundaries of acceptable behavior. most dogs, like most humans, are happy to be given reasonable boundaries.

Yeah but this should be tracked by airlines, if I recall correctly.
You can but you've created a shitty experience. With AV1 you've excluded at least half your potential viewers. Even for people with a browser with AV1 support your files likely have a higher bitrate than your viewers can stream in real-time.

If you want to just "upload files" you're going to be encoding a dozen different versions and bundling them as HLS/MPEG-DASH to not have a shitty client experience. You're going to need a fair amount of storage and a big pipe to handle multiple simultaneous streams. Also caching is a Hard Problem since not every version of a piece of content has equal levels of viewership at any given time.

YouTube and Vimeo (and the rest) handle all the storage, bandwidth, and transcoding. It's not something that you're going to do well without a lot of domain knowledge first. The market is littered with the corpses of companies that underestimated the difficulty and expense of streaming video over the web. It's certainly not so difficult as to be impossible, it's just non-trivially difficult and potentially expensive.
I think you are correct that yu need approximately 2x salary in the United States to maintain the same cost of living as in London. However with larger companies, you can usually make 3x or even 4x working in California compared to what they pay in London.

better is subjective, it depends on your needs.

sometimes performance per watt is more important especially when you're mobile or trying to be conservative w/ electricity.
> I was at 6 figures before I graduated.

Very few degrees offer this type of wage at graduation. Not everyone wants to build software. Although I agree with your general point to attend cheaper schools until it matters (eg graduate level and want to be a professor or lawyer).

I suspect the golden age of IoT is over. It makes your infrastructure too vulnerable to attack. We're in a war. The good case is that it becomes Cold War 2. The bad case is worse. In either case, expect nation-state sponsored cyber attacks.
This is incorrect. The front-end for Fenix uses the Fenix and Android-components GitHub repos.

mozilla-central only contains GeckoView (the embedding API for Android) which uses Java for the API itself and Kotlin for all the unit tests.
Ask HN: Real-World Breaches from Speculative Execution Vulns?
For years we’ve been reading about how vulnerable so many computer systems, especially ones using Intel and AMD processors, are highly vulnerable to speculative execution attacks such as Spectre, Meltdown, Foreshadow and Fallout. Numerous demonstrations of the feasibility of these attacks have been published, seemingly showing their practicality (even in JavaScript). Microcode updates that partially mitigate them have meant significant performance slowdowns, also suggesting their practicality. Are there many cases where these vulnerabilities have led to actual security breaches of real-world systems?
What alternatives have you looked at? It's fair priced imo.
Combine it with Bucklespring (https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring) and it gets even better.
> free is equalizing

On the contrary, SaaS company are advantaged at exploiting FOSS and this is creating increasing inequality in access to software, hardware, knowledge/skill, markets and capital.

In short, FAANGs and SaaS take all.

There's a reason why progressive taxation and public funding has been invented: infrastructure that benefits everybody need to be paid according to income.
The things that makes it borderline useless to you is actually one reason I like it so much. Makes it really easy to do code reviews and focus on what actually matters. Also, it was until somewhat recently the undisputed best 3-way merge tool. Meld gets close, but to me Meld's UI is sluggish and fuzzy (on Windows) while BC is snappy and sharp.

It's funny that you think supply shortages are being overlooked. It seems to me a whole camp of economists thinks it's the sole cause of inflation.

And then there's another whole camp that thinks pumping money into the economy is the sole cause, or at least orders of magnitude more important than any other cause.

There are essentially two mentalities I've observed in people around me.

1. The Optimist. Believes they live in "the best of all worlds" and everything always works out for the best--Voltare satirizes this idealism in Candide.

2. The Broken Nihilist. Believes everything is bull shit. Everyone is a liar, civilization is a scam, and all human interaction is a power struggle.

The optimist doesn't feel the need to worry about anything because they believe some magic force will make everything right for them. They thus are more susceptible to deception because they believe there can be no bad consequences of their actions...they are living a magical life in the best of all worlds...nothing can go wrong.

The nihilist, as we may suspect, is naturally immune to deception within the bounds of his reasoning capacity. This gives him an advantage over the optimist...and he always looks down upon the optimist as an idiot.
Yes, the Windows terminal effects overdo that too. Sure there was a little blur, but nowhere near as smeary as they make it look (unless you had buttered your monitor or something).

Monitors back then were much lower resolution, so the blur was subpixel. And monochrome monitors or black and white TVs (one part per pixel) were much sharper and clearer than standard color monitors or color TVs (three parts per pixel). There should be almost no noticeable blur if emulating those.

Increasing font size to 16 and decreasing font weight to 'light' helps a bit to get it more realistic, as long as you keep the terminal window at about 80x25.
Your link doesn't contradict the price-inflation view.

> its original meaning - a rise in the general price level caused by an imbalance between the quantity of money and trade needs

and in the PDF:

> an inflating currency has but one origin — the central bank— and one solution— a less expansive money growth rate

This is inherently problematic because there's no clear self-contained reason that inflating currency is a problem that needs a solution. If it failed to lead to price inflation or other effects, then it doesn't matter.

> A good’s real price, or value, was defined as the effort required to produce it

Well, people have and do talk like that, but it's dumb. That definition fits "cost" not "price".

But anyway, I don't need to be picky. Sure, I accept that "inflation in money supply" is not only reasonable use of the metaphor of inflation but is indeed historically how it was used. And as the paper accepts, the definition has changed. That's how the world works.

I still suspect that even 100-150 years ago, if inflation in the money supply didn't have any affect on prices, people would not have said the same things about it. All the quotes seem to assume that money supply inflation leads to price increase.

As to the use today, it's unarguable. See https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/statistics/inflation

> Inflation can be defined as the overall general upward price movement of goods and services in an economy.

That simply is the definition today. And I think it was always the implication anyway.

Uniswap / automated market makers / decentralized exchanges are already a “killer app” of web3.

It’s not a hypothetical, it already has billions in daily volume.

It’s true that , for any blockchain app, you could trust a third party who could use traditional database to do it faster and cheaper.

What the web3 detractors repeatedly refuse to understand is that not needing to trust a third party is a feature many people care about. By handing trust to a third party over important things like your money and your identity, you hand over a massive amount of power over yourself to them.

It’s also true that all this tech is still nascent. Big picture, ~10 years is really not that long. In many ways, technological limitations means a lot of these projects are still “toys” , just like microcomputers and Linux once were. But there is a ton of cryptography research and application that _might_ transform these from toy to the future. And again, with billions in daily volume, calling it a toy is unfair, it’s in between a toy and the future.

To clarify “not needing to trust a third party” - it’s better to phrase it as “needing to trust fewer parties and having more choice in who you trust.”

I’m amazed people can watch scam after scam from Wall St financiers and struggle to understand why some find axing the middlemen appealing.

Anyone can list 100 reasons why it won’t work long term. The question is do you use that list as a reason to write it all off, or a list of problems to solve as an engineer. HN obviously leans towards the former.
I don’t think we know whether it’s true or not. I think the inquiry in this area is distorted by liberal assumptions that require disparities to be explainable by blaming chance (or white European people). That is damaging because if those assumptions aren’t true we are denying developing the opportunity to help themselves, and condemning them to a state of dependency.
