There are ways...

I've taken multiple cellphone connections and sorta merged their connections using a hacky workaround in windows to force it to happen even without a proper setting for it. (Note: Not a bridge. Merged. Sorta.)

Just setup each phone as a shared access point through multiple usb ports and let er rip. After doing what I was mentioning though that is.

It's rather simple too, but I don't know how best to explain how it works. BUT I can tell you what I did.

I disable and re-enable each connection one after the other back and forth multiple times until they all are send and receiving data at the same time. This seems to work best when there is already an active connection going. I would use this for Steam downloads a lot.

And yes, all my files I send and receive this way would come and go proper and working. I was doing this back when cell speeds were more like 3mbit/second out in the rural areas. That kind of thing. So getting 10mbit out in the boonies was like living in the city all of a sudden.
Oh well, we seem to have different opinions about whether a 10s-to-react-window in quickly moving car qualifies as having to be alert all the time. Fair enough.
The fact that you're posting some giant message about how much you work means it's unlikely you are truly working as many hours as you think.

Use a tomato timer and hit the "Start" button every time you're truly doing work and "Stop" button when you're not. Bathroom breaks, employee chats, heating up lunches, break walks, posting on HN, etc... All that shit doesn't count.

Get back to us with the #s after you've done a sustained run for a month.
> suggest people actually compile and run a node themselves

yeah just buy an 86TB drive every year and run the node 24/7 to avoid penalties

>You should inspect their smart contracts

how many people are actually able to do this

I'm not against crypto and i'm not sure yet about web3 but if it requires buying some kind of token to participate then i am skeptical.
I think the blog post of Moxie Marlinspike is related to this. It was also discussed some weeks ago:

Would this be mitigated if the ingress load balancer also did health checks with the pods? So when a pod goes into shutdown state, the ingress can detect and stop routing traffic.
Thank you! We hope we can help make the world a safer place!
If I had the option to convince any one artist - present or past - of any creative medium, whether books, movies, TV or whatever else, to produce just a bit more of a certain work, it would definitely be Bill Watterson for Calvin and Hobbes.
I view this hack as a public service - we're seeing how awfully these big security companies actually handle security in the worst case. Let that be a lesson to everyone who is in favour of mass centralisation. There needs to be a security solution where Okta essentially provides the skeleton of the infrastructure but not the entire solution, such that an Okta compromise does not compromise everyone who uses them.

> But I imagine the supporters of NFTs would say the value is in being the only person who can put that sign

If only that were true
Imagine another universe, that works different from ours.
Maybe they are boring or maybe you don't have the means to hear what millions of people say every single day?
Oh yeah you’re totally right on that. I guess what I mean is that I wouldn’t expect that friend to do deep research or be informed. Poking is the right word for it because it’s harmless - they wouldn’t be obliged to know all the information to seriously scrutinize what I’m doing.
That's pretty easy math to do.

Frankly, a world where Bitcoin doesn't eventually see a 2100 times increase in value is also probably a world where it doesn't become a generally-used global currency. If the argument is that Bitcoin's valuation is going to slow down from this point on, then in my mind that is basically a concession that it's not going to revolutionize the world the way that its proponents claim.

I don't think people completely understand how incredibly niche cryptocurrency still is and how much it would have to grow before it overtook fiat currencies.

Of course, the question is whether BTC's utility actually is going to increase the way its proponents claim (which I am skeptical of). But if it did increase, it's hard to imagine an increasingly limited deflationary asset that's going up in utility value wouldn't also see proportional price increases.

Good NFTs do use a hash, but it's a shame that marketplaces don't mandate even this simple thing.
The guy is not in coma – did you even read the paper?
Then your art will always resemble the physical reality we already know. Computers and mathematics enable us to render literally anything. And all you can think of are things you see every day. I'm looking at wax, fire and smoke right now, there's a candle on my desk. If it's realism I wanted, I could just stare at that (and sometimes do).
The key difference is that this land is not just being stolen, but also being given special legal status that exempts it from national laws. This is being done in a country where the cartels have more power than the corporations, in an area that had a long history of being used by smugglers and drugs traffickers.
Amazing design, thanks for sharing!
nah, i know people that abuse the crap out of 4G/5G from their home cell network all the time.

they would use a terrestrial connection but the National Broadband Network in Australia is arguably incomplete (putting aside the parts that are supposed to be complete are often very crap).
One of my workmates lives 25 mins drive from the WA capital city CBD and has just recently bought Starlink because he couldn't get fast enough or reliable enough internet speeds at home for WFH purposes (Ms Teams is bad but not THAT BAD)
Health checks typically only run at like 30sec frequency. Even if you set it to 1sec that’s still a big window for requests to slip in before ingress detects the pod is gone.
I just put them in a colander and set them in front of a 6" fan, giggle about after a few minutes, they dry fine.

The 6" desk fan is an essential kitchen appliance.
I have a Dahon Briza, with 24in wheels. The main thing was that a couple of them can be easily loaded in my car. Otherwise I just ride near my home.

I am not totally satisfied, but it is OK. I'll probably change the crank gear to be larger, the very lowest gears aren't useful right now because they are so slow.

I also can't ride it without having at least one hand on the handlebars.

Having fenders is nice, but they are very flimsy.

Music like words is a form of communication. You like what is being said, much like how you like a story being told or A text being read. It agrees with you. Like taste of specific food.

It's generally frowned upon to use Ask HN for self promotion. You should be using Show HN.

Did you know you can read more than one word or line of text at a time?
Your beef then is with the kind of governance within the charter city, not charter city itself. I could make the same argument for nation-state governments, which commonly result in very poor track record for ensuring the "good of the [common] locals."

An egalitarian charter city inside of a brutal autocracy might be great (relatively). The inverse, not so much.
I'm sick of seeing anti-cryptocurrency and anti-NFT vitriol every other day on this site. There are legitimate concerns against cryptocurrency and NFTs but these are rarely addressed in a reasonable way.

Instead, I'd encourage people to explore how people are actually experimenting in this space to see what sites like fxhash.xyz and others have to offer.

Some things I'd like to focus on in particular are:

* Ease of sign on. Cryptocurrency wallets (non-custodial) fulfill the promise of SSO that OpenAuth failed to

* Ease of currency transactions. Fiat to cryptocurrency is still painful but once you're in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, transfers and purchases have much less friction

* Support of artists. There are some artists that you may know that participate in fxhash. I would encourage everyone to look around, you might be surprised to find people you know and respect on the platform.

* Artistic experimentation. There's a lot of interesting code and art that might not exist without a financial incentive.
Ask HN: Which open-source projects do you give money to?
The problem is that programming is about managing complexity.

Typically, technologies I see described as boring have poor features for managing complexity.

Usually with poor reasonong justify meeting some silly definition of "simple“ and "boring" that ultimately makes your life harder.
The most obvious design flaw of kubernetes is that the ingress-controller is pluggable and therefore not thoroughly defined.
> "My comments are not advocating a race war. I’m saying, maybe don’t be a dick; and don’t be surprised if people react negatively if you act like one."

Ironically, the progressives are getting increasing pushback precisely because they're failing to heed your advice, in the eyes of the general public. The NY Times has had an increasingly alarmed stream of editorials (e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/22/opinion/politics/latinos-...) saying that minorities are drifting away from the Democrats to the GOP largely because the latter has been able to portray progressive overreach as a problem.
I love when sound design and soundtrack meet, like in Annihilation and Archive 81. It was Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow in both cases, I believe.
> A trusted ledger is valuable, but a ledger doesn't have to be public to be trusted. When I swipe my card at the grocery store, I'm not shaking in my boots with my fingers crossed, doubting whether the transaction will be recorded as transmitted or not.

Of course, because as the customer nothing bad happens to you if it’s not. Worst case scenario, the merchant doesn’t accept your payment and you either have to pay with cash or not buy anything.

The worst case scenario for the merchant is substantially worse. If the payment doesn’t go through, they lose money. This could happen days or weeks later if the customer decides to chargeback the merchant. There are countless stories of payment processors siding with customers, placing holds on a business’s funds for extended periods of time while conducting investigations, etc.

I would actually take the opposite stance. Unless a ledger is public and independently verifiable, there is no reason to trust it at all. Nearly every instance of financial fraud has relied on people trusting a private ledger.
In the world of digital art, there are actually people developing NFTs that are purely generated on-chain. It's still a relatively small school, but you can check some of them out here https://www.0xchain.art/
I think of them as digital digital picture frames.

A market for digital, digital picture frames currently exists and it has high margins. That is the extent of my thought on the what people are buying.

They aren't advertised that way though and the transaction receipt of purchasing the digital, digital picture frame can be a valuable asset.

Regarding where the images being viewed are stored, many are not following best practices and should be scrutinized for that, but that is separate from the concept of digital digital picture frames, as many do leverage the sales pitch of the technology pretty well and store the entire image onchain or pin them on another censorship resistant storage system.

But I think people overthink it. Who cares that people are buying digital digital picture frames? Just sell digital digital picture frames!
It does have some use cases like displaying mostly static content (images or documentation) or even casual videos.

Definitely not my thing too, I'm all in for 120Hz, but it does have some niche uses at 30Hz.
Maybe - I can afford it while also having enough awareness that it is not affordable for most folks in general - I just find the glibness off putting.
I'm waiting for my Steam Deck. That said, the Deck is a drop in the ocean.

> Why should the people who develop products at Nintendo have to design around some politician’s law?

Sorry, but it must be we live in different planets. Japan has laws tailor made for the commercial interests of their gaming and media industry. Are IP protection and copyright also politician's law?

I'm all against absurd legislation and bureaucracy and I'm glad creators get paid but analyse your sentence:

"Why should the people who develop products at Nintendo have to design around some politician’s law?"

Do you notice that you are equating People=Private Company and Consumer Protection=Politician? I could understand if you are the owner of a company trying to work around some legislative moat, otherwise, it's pure brainwashing.
Yeah, no. In the ideal on premise setup you can shutdown remote access on the network level. You're not an admin? You cannot reach admin tools from your VPN. You can also always offer a personal two factor authentication for exemptions, introduce four-eyes policies, etc.

Of course, this is complicated and a big part of the reason cloud is so successful is that the engineers capable of doing complicated stuff are hired by the cloud providers. My pet theory is that FAANG pay so high salaries to prevent competition and home-grown solutions as much as possible by attracting the top x% of the talent pool.
It's wild that apparently near full admin access to the service was handed out to subcontractors of subcontractors. There was so little oversight and so many levels of indirection that it took months to figure out the full impact of the breach and incident. This does not seem like a healthy or responsible security policy for a company whose primary business is... authentication security.
>being the only person who can put that sign
And even that is not true. There is nothing preventing literally anyone from creating as many signs they want and point it to any house they want.
It is a very rational decision, and with hind-sight, I don't think it is very surprising, either. It is just a pleasure to see people making level-headed, rational, good decisions.
> Such "new things" are just a big bunch of unnecessary complexity.

By definition the "old things" you use would also be "just a big bunch of unnecessary complexity" since they were once new.
I understand. That's for sure more convenient. I really miss one feature of Safari: When something triggers a new Tab open and you do swipe right to go back in history, it actually closes the new opened tab. That's in generally very convenient
It’s an interesting dilemma. How we complicate our lives by having so many options. The overthinking and the hedging we do. And turn one goal into many. One direction into many.

You want to bootstrap a small company. By working for a large company. By getting a graduate degree. By getting $180k in debt.

Just take out the $180K loan and start your business. This is what Peter Thiel fellowship would have you do.

This long path of avoidance and preparation to work on what you want to work on…. life is too short.

Smart enough to get into MIT is smart enough to succeed whatever path you choose.

The point is. Be clear of your end goal. The path will then be obvious.
If your jurisdiction has imposed sanctions on Russia but you then help a Russian national bypass sanctions then you are the criminal.
If we were discussing a video game, I'd agree, but we're discussing a tool for creating video games. A tool that influences creators' understanding of what they can make. If the tool becomes opinionated, it will produce works accordingly. When Unity makes hyperrealistic humans easy to make, that's what we'll be seeing people make with it.
That is really cool! Is this something that's open sourced by any chance?
There's been a company wide effort to move everything to Native AWS. While many existing services still run on Apollo, virtually all new services are created on ECS, EC2 or Lambda.
Unless there's some amount of "lying-by-omission" going on here (or some amount of me not understanding what was said), it doesn't sound like support staff get actual super user access to me. It just sounds like a poorly named internal app.
I think the answer to why one chain is better than many chains is because it’s way harder to 51% one chain with many applications rather than having to 51% one chain with one application.

I don’t know enough about blockchain tech to KNOW this is correct, but it’s something interesting that kinda falls out of the theory.

I used to be one of the people that were ascribed the "talented" label. It opened a lot of doors, and I've had a career that initially was deemed as more successful than that of my peers. However, after burning out twice I've never recovered the ability of doing _anything cognitive_ other than physical exercise for extended durations of time. I no longer get called talented, and things are a lot more challenging --- and I'm more afraid to go after tough tasks --- but I still manage to get things done. It's just that I need a lengthy break after 2-3 hours of being cognitive.

Your comment semi-accurately reflects how I lived my life _before_ burning out. I sussed out when I tried to do a more 8-5 kind of thing. But I struggled to fit a lot of things other than "work".
For a moment there I thought you and sennight were the same user. Heh.

Yeah, Canada is pretty bad too when it comes to having the last mile rolled out to every last town and village. We have tower based internet for those usually. If you are really out in the boonies, you might have something based on Xplornet's tech. Having starlink is only a new thing recently; and that's apparently touch and go for people as well.

Ironically, if you don't play video games at all, Cellular is the best kind of connection you can get out there in some places. Otherwise, get a dish and point it at the nearest tower. It's still basically a giant wifi connection at that point, so the latency will not be the best; but it's far better than Xplornet or cellular ever will be on that front. The only thing better than tower, is a proper line going to the house.

One of my old homes was supposed to have said line installed to that town as part of a province wide thing going on at the time. Sasktel was supposed to get EVERYONE connected with cable and internet...

That never happened. They stuck to the cities and bigger towns close to the backbone, and that was it. They then sold access to companies putting up towers and said "that's a wrap".

That said... they had to contend with the rail lines to get past them on multiple occasions, and that gets expensive.
Immediately preceding the excerpt you chose to copy:

> Several of the city states in southern Italy allied themselves with Hannibal, or were captured when pro-Carthaginian factions betrayed their defences. These included the large city of Capua and the major port city of Tarentum (modern Taranto). Two of the major Samnite tribes also joined the Carthaginian cause. By 214 BC the bulk of southern Italy had turned against Rome.
I always assumed the Unity demos are interesting because they are being done in real time.

The author is just defining "decentralized" based on what he can come up with arguments against. In doing so, he misses some very important properties of this decentralization (that he either doesn't realize or doesn't have arguments for).

To me, web3 is decentralized in that the user data is exposed and freely available to be composed upon.

For example, when someone makes a deposit (say of ERC20 USDC to earn interest, around 3.0% currently) on https://compound.finance, that data is freely available and the "receipt" becomes another token (the ERC20 USDC cToken). [1]

This token can now be used for other things, on any other protocol, without the involvement or permission of compound itself. For example, there is a "compound" pool on https://curve.fi that allows users to deposit cTokens so that they can earn interest on their stablecoins while also providing liquidity for stablecoin swaps and earning swap fees as well on top. [2] In fact, with this pool, the user can deposit/withdrawal just pure ERC20 USDC instead and curve will deposit/withdrawal that into/from compound on behalf of the user, again, with no involvement of compound at all. (other than interacting with its "immutable" smart contract)

> As a sidenote: Note that with web2, much of your data is locked away. Eg, twitter's closed api, gmail marking so many emails from self-hosted as spam, fb everything, American airlines not allowing scraping of a user's point wallet, cc points being non-transferrable, etc etc.

This deposit then gives the user back another ERC20 token "cCrv" that can then be used in other DeFi protocols without the involvement or authorization of curve.

At this point people are talking past each other because "centralization" can be used to refer to many things. The author's is just critiquing a tiny portion of the term decentralization (infrastructure), which I guess he most understands since his day job involves that.

Actually duty to the shareholder is do as shareholders ask . Those things could be responsible or profit maximizing or not.

Legally it is hard to define either as they vague and subjective, obeying the board directions is much easier to define and codify in law.

If management does not do as shareholders ask , shareholders can get management replaced by nominating and voting for directors who want the same thing in the next general meeting or call for a emergency one.

Management reports to the board and the board reports to the shareholders.

It is hard to counter the direct wishes of all shareholders combined. However rarely all shareholders want the same thing. Management themselves own substantial shares and obviously will feel different for example.
