More likely they think government monopoly over money is a form of tyranny, or that unchecked government power is tyranny.

The illusion of security and stability is a very nice fantasy to live in. The price of everything you bought went up ~7.5% in the last year, the debt grows perpetually higher with no plan to ever pay it off, housing and stock market bubbles continue to grow, and this is totally normal and sustainable.
RT is the propaganda arm of the Russian government operating in other countries.

Internal newspapers, such as Novaya Gazeta, have been shut down for saying "war" in print. Just the latest in many papers, radio channels and more that have been silenced in Russia.

> It doesn't seem like they are afraid of getting disappeared for saying russia attacked ukraine.

They didn't use the word "war".
Yes, you’re not supposed to specify the cipher suites with TLS1.3

This guy also forces secp521r1 (the NSA curve which is impossible to implement correctly, is unsupported by Chrome and eventually by Firefox, and is dog slow) instead of using DJB’s x25519. This is what roleplaying as an SRE looks like.
I agree with your concerns. I think the change is inevitable though and as density increases residents have to surrender some ownership for logistical reasons.

The real problem with densification is how fast it occurs. An area will change its zoning and you'll see absurd things like a row of single story houses bookended by 6 story apartment complexes.

I'd rather see policy that allows the changes to happen slowly (e.g. you can build up to 5 feet higher than the average height of other buildings in the zone) but, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, some places have been applying no-compromise protectionist policies for so long that the pressure for immediate and drastic change is intense.
> Without a legal system, e.g. crypto, if you solve my puzzle, then you deserve the reward. It's just math!

My fear keeping me from getting into the... offensive crypto space has been that the original owners of the wallets won't see it that way, and an imperfect opsec will leave me as one of the 70% of murders that don't get solved in the US.

Someone with millions to billions in crypto has a decent chance of being diversified, and use to backfilling the lack of access to the state's monopoly on violence with some of their own.
They froze the card, but only after six consecutive withdrawals from an ATM in Miami. I was getting notifications on my phone about the withdrawals (did I mention I'm paranoid) but since I was driving, I didn't see them for about half an hour when I arrived at my destination. Called USAA immediately and they had already frozen the card. But the money had already been withdrawn.

I can't explain why it took many consecutive withdrawals in a short time, in a city that I've never visited, 3000 miles away from the most recent use of the card, to trigger USAA's protection algorithms.

USAA did finally take care of it. My biggest beefs with them are 1) they dragged their feet a couple days on the investigation until I called them myself (I'm the veteran, my wife is not, and they were much more responsive to me), and 2) they really do punish my wife for something not her fault. You know those questions you get which are sourced from your credit file? What street did you live on, what's your mortgage payment, things like that? That's what they ask every time, after asking for a secret password and PIN code to be used for phone calls.

I'll give them credit though, for actually sharing the gory details with me once they were done tracking down everything, and admitting that one of their own employees had broken their rules and handed over the credentials to my wife's account.
You can't always reverse the transaction in regular financial world. It is typically possible if all parties involved act in good faith, and often possible in other cases too, if you act fast, or the bad faith actor is less than competent. However, this is not always the case.

Imagine the following scenario: bank A sends $100M to bank B, which then sends it to bank C. By "reversing" the A->B transaction, all you're doing is making bank B on the hook for the $100M. Bank B will obviously not be very happy about this, and if you try to force it through some legal means, this will effectively amount to stealing $100M from bank B and its customers.

Reversing erroneous transactions is a useful feature of regular financial system, and lack of it in blockchains often poses huge and avoidable practical problems. At the same time, this in no way should be seen as panacea for restoring stolen money, neither in real financial systems, nor in blockchain.
Absolutely do not use your debit card ... well, anywhere if you can help it.

(Apologies, saw the wrong parent comment) How many utilities, credit card companies require a checking account for autopay? How many times have you thrown out an old checkbook that contains routing and account numbers on a carbon copy pages?

Bank accounts are not especially secure, we mostly hope to limit the risk/reward calculation for hacking them and basic security controls.
> Shitcoins (all of them) remove the potential of violence as a means of corrective action. Instead, you have crazy hard math stopping you. Can't do the math? Then you're not forcing your decision.

Oh no they don't. You can still go to prison, and they can still smack you around. To pretend otherwise is to play emu.
I did the other way around! I have ~10 years of experience in VIM and for the last 3y or so have been only in vscode. I use vim for the occasional config file but vscode is great and I don't miss using vim on my day to day at all.
An app that suggests alternative products made by companies aligned with your politics. Instead of buying Nestle made cheese, why not try Lucerne, etc. Slowly over time change will happen and good companies that people want to support will live and bad companies will die. It all starts with a knowledgeable consumer who believes in their own power.
The only backlash I saw is the backlash to snowden from its own country.
At least for our business, we need the components to do fairly specific things that are not, or only partially supported by pre-build components.

So we make our own. Now they’d suck for anyone else to use, but they’re perfect for us.
Sure, why not? You could even automate it, using a SWIFT-like messaging pipeline that all mining companies have to subscribe to. Blockchains are fundamentally a social construct, and governments have the ability to regulate the individuals who are creating the blockchain. If there was enough political will for it, you could absolutely bolt a "reversal" mechanism onto any existing blockchain. Unless you're doing your mining operation entirely on the black market, you're going to rely on the government for enforcement of your colo rent agreements, your electricity agreements, etc, so there's lots of incentive to comply.
EU, US and their allies can kick Kaspersky off the market. It would be a game over for Kaspersky meaning zero installs(licenses) and zero revenue. It is not worth to do it not even in the short term. Trust would be forever lost.
Gitlab is a breeze to upgrade when using the Docker distribution. Swap the version number in Kubernetes or the systemd unit file (if you're using naked Docker), restart the service, that's it...

Atlassian's docker images are similarly easy to use, but with everything Atlassian you have a veritable ecosystem of plugins of which almost none are open source so you are out of luck if there are incompatibilities.
Ask HN: How people blindly trust huge numbers on the internet?
Solo founders who claim to have $1m ARR or more, without ever sharing any revenue proof - how do you trust them and start following their work online?

I've seen many founders tweet stuff out around a niche, but never sharing about their startup's revenue proof in public (stripe screenshot/financial dashboard). They just say they crossed $Xm ARR mark etc.

I’m working on multiple Flask apps currently and I have a lot to say about it, but regarding docs, the main Flask docs might be fine, but the docs for some of the extensions we use are quite bad.

Also, there’s nothing about these apps that requires the alleged flexibility of Flask, so there’s a lot of issues with dependencies and integrating extensions. That’s a lot of extra work and probably weakens security for no benefit at all.

Upgrading a big Django app is much simpler IME.
Maybe, but 30d ago it would have been "No way someone would store $625M USD in a game dev bank account".
Yeah, it's the same issue. You'd have to call the court back to verify the warrant.
Getting a call claiming to be from Trump's campaign asking for money doesn't even mean it's actually the Trump campaign, it could be anyone trying to get money from people who are passionate about Trump. And that's one of the problems here: unsolicited calls are real and problematic, unsolicited calls who aren't even from the person they appear to be are also real and even more problematic.
> What happened to defense in depth with all of the layers you can introduce?

What happened was antivirus itself became your biggest attack vector, so you were more secure without it. Plus Microsoft actually cares about security now, which wasn't the case 10+ years ago.
>I do not understand why people who have legal intentions would want to be part of the crypto economy. There's nothing but more risks with zero benefits.

You don't get bailed out if you fuck up, but also you aren't on the hook for bailing out other people when they fuck up. If you hold BTC, nobody's going to suddenly take a bunch of it to bail out banks that made shitty loans like during the GFC.

It's like the saying live by the sword, die by the sword.
Windows 11 has some infuriating parts like this where the contrast between elements is so small you can't tell what is going on (like.. where is the scrollbar?). Especially when you own some cheap LCD display that's 15 years old with 20 nits of brightness and a contrast ratio of non-existent. Compared to the guy that designed the UI (and I'm guilty of this in the past) who persuaded his boss he needed a $6500 Apple ProRes UltraHDR+++ display that is literally brighter than the noonday sun and has a contrast ratio approaching aleph-zero.

Some of MS' own webapps don't even support IE anymore...

Blockchains do nothing to advance this cause, it's a technical shell game, "ownership of content" is already possible without blockchains.

"Web3" is a highly technical MLM scheme, it's not a solution to the concerns you have expressed.
I put both russia and us at 10. Why would I rate it any better, given its past?
This is totally based on how I perceive reality, but I feel that company praise through official channels comes across as fake, but managers get to see it. Personal praise feels more genuine, but sometimes it's nice for the person's manager to know about it too.

I usually will send a quick message or reply to an email from the person, praising something cool they did, or something that impressed me etc. Sometimes it's tiny, like "hey, I approved your Code Review request, I really like how elegant your solution is".

Then if I come across their manager I will comment on that person positively. Again it might be short, like "<name> has been doing some great work on <widget>", or "<name> did <something>, your group seems to be <on the cutting edge || agile || embracing change". I do try to use manager speak when talking to managers, because the details, like how something was abstracted doesn't seem valuable to non-technical people.

I don't keep a list or anything, but if you really are grateful about someone you will remember to bring it up to them. I try to do it spontaneously. As a side note it appears that I have made a name for myself, for multiple reasons, so my praise seems to be valued a lot, both by management and the person receiving it. I'm not sure if that ties to my competency, or my frequency of praise (it's not frequent, but it feels like I do it once a week).

I am bringing this up because I have seen a praise anti-pattern, where it's done so frequently, or for anything that someone does even if it's super minor, and it feels like brown-nosing. The other anti-pattern, if you are a manager, is sending praise to everyone in the team, which again devalues the action.

Again, this is my personal opinion.

Edit: I almost forgot. Praise aside, a good way to show Gratitude is caring. If you know they have a hobby, if you come across something that relates you can ping them about it. It might seem small, but everyone like knowing that others think/care about them. An alternate way is carving time out of your day to help them. Again, in my case pretty much about 700 people know me by name, so when they see that I am spending a time on one of their problems it means something.

I feel like I am coming across as narcistic in this reply, but I am just trying to analyze my behavior objectively, all of this is done subconsciously.
Does “gas-free RPC” mean just a regular non-blockchain endpoint?

I assume that the majority of the cost would be to design and build nuclear ships. And it's still worth it, as fuel is 50%-60% of operational costs.

As for drones to handle cases of ports which don't allow nuclear ships to dock: this is just a potential workaround. I kind of guess, that they will just focus on other ports first, and then eventually (like, in 5-10 years timeframe) everyone calms down and just allows such ships to dock in LA / NY / other US ports.
> Battery electric mowers can run forever with a single spare battery because the batteries charge faster than they're drained.

The problem with electric tools is that the battery life heavily depends what you're doing. I also have an Ego mower (the top model/largest battery as of 2020). The only way my battery might actually last the advertised hour (with a ~40 min charge time) is if I religiously mowed twice a week. I'm usually lucky to get 30 minutes of real world mowing, but sometimes it's less than half of that. I used to prefer mowing in the morning to avoid the heat, but any amount of moisture in the grass slaughters the battery life. Likewise if the grass is higher than normal, say goodbye to the battery life. All in all my electric mower is quite a bit inferior to a decent quality gas mower, but not inconvenient enough (so far) to push me to switch back.
This is possible bullish because it takes this ETH out of circulation. Very hard for hackers to sell so much hot eth. Likely it will sit dormant in wallets for a long time, maybe forever. It may never hit an exchange.
The ugly apartment buildings you are seeing are probably one-plus-five buildings (one concrete + five wood floors) that are actually optimized for balancing zoning+codes+affordability for single-family apartments. At least theoretically, they should offer cheaper rent due to their much lower construction costs.

I think of the ugliness of the facades as a bonus that would drive wealthier people to other buildings once options open up a bit.
Where will you put it up? Interested to have a go at it with some Russian speaking friends.
But the goal isn't to catch up on knowledge that the student should've learned last year. That should've already been addressed through holding the student back, summer school, tutoring, etc. If the teacher has to not only teach this year's material but also reteach last year's, that's not fair the students who need to learn this year's material.

Grading isn't just a feedback mechanism. It also is an incentive. When you say "only the final test matters", then young students (who probably haven't totally grasped long-term planning yet) have not as much reason to care about learning the early material until it's too late.

> So while someone on my team is gathering the requested data, someone else is doing the verification

The whole point is that verification will take much longer than hours.

> Sounds like you're saying the problem is that the government is mandating things and providing no rules about how it should work. That seems like such an un-government-like thing to do, they usually get weirdly specific.

The government is very specific when it comes to what is required of you. The government is not very specific when it comes to what is required of the government.
Do I really propose anything like that?

I was merely suggesting that behavior of people susceptible to conspiracy theories might be fully (or almost fully explained by selfish goals of their individual genes).
The evidence is that he was one of the designers. You seem to be missing the very simple fact that CSS is has not always existed, and it was not suddenly discovered by programmer explorers, whose prerogative it is to define its usage by their usage. It was designed by a standards body. Of designers. The designers designed the usage, and it's the designers' prerogative to define mis-use.
Why not buy it jointly? Otherwise you are telling people who bought the land what to do with it. If you want to have a say in it, pony up for it. Buy the land in the name of the township and turn it into a park.
I would invest in something that would have an amplified impact, but probably no benefit for me.

Personally, something that would really help me, is that I make very irrational stupid decisions and waste time. I would like to create some piece of software that prevents that. Something that prompts me, with messages like "What should you be doing?" or helps me make decisions.

Also, I would like it if it presented news articles that are not obviously biased, and then you have a quiz that asks questions about if you know what the bias was, or if the conclusion of the article was correct.
> I'm not sure its a great idea to structure our communications around hypothetical abusive people

Domestic violence is far from hypothetical [1], it is the sad reality we live in. Medicine in particular has a responsibility by the Hippocratic Oath to avoid causing harm, and the laws (e.g. HIPAA) reflect that responsibility.

Congratulations, but
to me React is like Rust. Something I always wanted to get into but found better alternatives.
In the react case Vue wins for me and in the Rust case it's Go.

I really tried, time and time again to like it and write something with it, but Vue just offers the better libraries. Altough with the recent 2 to 3 upgrade and pinia instead of vuex I'm starting to get dissatisfied with the "no single proper way" of Vue. Vuex-orm being the best frontend REST wired ORM, nothing comes close to ease of use and setup.
Meanwhile react has what? Complicated redux, or is that even a thing anymore? Idk, which I would. Redux the boilerplate abomination. That's exactly what drove me away from Angular.
But I'm starting to rant again.
And react has even more of the "not a single proper way". Yeah I know, nextjs the magic bullet, but what if you don't agree with pretty much everything about it, starting with routing.
Take my advice and stay away, easily the most toxic online gaming community I've ever seen mostly because of the 45 minute time sink.

No they’ll add some liquidity to Tornado cash

And then a bunch of other large hacks will notice that Tornado cash is big enough to handle their large amounts too, adding more liquidity to Tornado cash

And then some FAANG engineer is going to take their clean $50k paycheck and buy into a new launched token on Uniswap

And that token is going to rally 100x because the tornado cash withdrawals keep buying that token

And then that engineer is going to sell the tokens into the Uniswap liquidity pool, transfer the Ether to dollars, and report capital gains as just another lucky crypto trader

You’re welcome
Can you expand on your pithy comment? :) I'm genuinely interested.
Including actually having the money in your wallet!
This is an absolutely ridiculous concept to me, and I'm surprised so many people are taking a positive stance on this article.

Grades allow for tracking progress across many different classes, so that you know for sure where you should spend your time studying. Maybe if this was your only class and you had unlimited time to revise and revise and revise, then this concept would work. It's as if the professor here thinks their class is the only one that matters.

And it's not like this matches up to life after university any better than grades do. Professionally, my task is complete when it meets the needs of the client and I get paid. With this class, tasks are never complete. There's always more revising to do, and you never know when to stop.

The author just seems out of touch. "As for motivation, I asked them, What do you want to learn? Why are you here?" -- this is the same kind of person who asks "so why do you want to work at [minimum wage job]?" as if it has anything to do with the job and nothing to do with needing money (getting good grades).

The yes/no in some cases could allow fixed-income people to be approved when they are short of the required income or credit history because they've never had a rental problem. A lot of fixed-income seniors pay a large portion of their income to rent but have done so reliably for decades, for example.
what sort of magic does LiveView do here that HTMx doesn't? seems like the difference here is that the article sends a server rendered partial HTML down the wire with HTMx sprinkled on it that gets rendered on the client side. From my basic understanding, LiveView sends HTML to client first, establishes bi-directional WS connection, and proceeds to send JSON data to the client and synchronizes the app state via sending diffs over WS.

To pick up one thread: how would increasing the consensus threshold from 5/9 to 8/9 help? It seems like the nodes were compromised with the same hack, so at most it's adding a little extra busywork for the attackers. But maybe there's a detail I don't understand.
> Is the next move to convert it into a privacy-preserving coin like Monero, then back to "clean" ETH?

I'm not sure there is enough liquidity in the Monero / ETH trading pairs to do something like that without being really obvious.
