>Money is a surprisingly complex subject.

Its not though is it. It's tremendously simple but nobody is taught and the subject is censored for good reason.

>and yet what humanity has defined as money has changed significantly over the centuries.

Centuries doesnt matter unless you're looking to understand why the USA is about to majorly collapse. Follow slavery along timeline for dutch and qinq, to british, to usa, to now uighurs in china. To become #1 you need slaves, when you ban slavery you lose your empire.

Lets ignore the centuries. When the USA got into extreme debt during WW1 they went off the gold standard because otherwise they would effectively have gone bankrupt. Suddenly the government could 'print money' and they did. Bretton woods came along after great depression and tremendous debt of ww2. IMF basically switched to fiat but really what it was backed by north american natural resources. Not just gold, but oil, lumber, etc.

When Nixon nuked this in 71-73. He was a crook but something happened that surprised everyone. The markets went up... it literally didnt make sense. USD should have collapsed.

Technically if say during the 1980s, the US government switched to keep debt to gdp below 50% and never went beyond. They could have done that. The problem is that us politicians kept printing money. The financial crisis pushed the USA above 100%. The USA is officially bankrupt. Covid basic income schemes printing trillions only exacerbated the problem.

>However, depending on where they live in the world, people are not very accustomed to keeping track of the quality of money itself, or deciding which type of money to hold.

The USD has ~40% inflation locked in. At 7% it's going to take a few years. Everyone who is subject to USD reserve currency or for that matter uses the USD will be getting educated. This education will have consequences in many ways.

For the first time the US people living right now will get to experience and feel their government debt.

Obviously im not nostradamus but I have a feeling as a way to punish china and prevent the yuan from gaining this super power of being the reserve currency. The 'west' will all agree some crypto will be the new reserve currency they all trade in. Some proper non-deflationary nor inflationary currency. We are already seeing this happen as a grass roots movement.

You know what happens when that happens? Countries which are heavily in debt will be required to fix their debt situation. Places like Germany or Switzerland who have decided by constitutional requirement to balance the budget and reduce debt are about to become immensely wealthy.
I believe the war is engineered by the US, the only country benefits so much from this war, the US actually had intelligence about the war before anyone else, even called for it before it actually happened. So far, US's plan is working, Russia will be a lot weaker and Europe is very dependent on US, a lot money to be made on energy and weapon sales.

Probably US will try to use the same strategy with China if this works well against Russia. That's my personal prediction. Once Russia is weaken, US will move immediately on China.
Hello, I oppose it. I live right next to germany, i know quite a bit about it. The 'Z' is not banned here. Neither is russian media. Unlike in germany where RT is DNS censored now.

And I think the US free speech model is vastly superior.

Your opinion is not universally held by europeans, i just wanted to make that clear.

And no I don't support the war, nor do I like putin in the slightest, just to make that also clear.
>More taxes are a result of earning more and not really from working more although they are usually related

Even the mythical 10x engineer is not really getting paid 10x more than their same level peers so no not really.

So this even furthers the argument. Why bother having 10x the output if you only see a smidge of that productivity as increased income?
>> I love solvespace, the UI is quick, minimal and easy to come up to speed with.
I use it as a 2D parametric sketch pad, for 2D designs for laser cutting, making 3D models for kicad, and a few basic 3D printed fixtures, but it is in no way a replacement for even Freecad.

Solvespace maintainer here. I appreciate your assessment of Solvespace and feel it's accurate. My intent is to bring more capability to it while maintaining the feel of it which seems hard to quantify. I understand why people use FreeCAD - it's much more comprehensive. What's interesting is that you also use Solvespace because it's "better" in some way (and I agree). How would you describe that? What keeps you using it?

A password manager is higher energy than reusing the same low-entropy password directly. So no, it does not solve the password problem.
Show HN: Factle, Wordle but for Trivia
Consider that for a lot of shops and restaurants demand might be inelastic over the course of the week. If everyone in town is closed on Sunday and consumers don't have convenient access to other options it's likely that demand will simply shift to other days, thus being closed on Sunday would reduce operating costs without significantly affecting revenues.

This is arguably a big factor for both Chick-fil-a and liquor stores that are prevented state-wide from opening on Sundays (in the US)
I think there would be very easy ways to find out if there were vandals or his own writing and his own convictions. Do we know of any errors or mistrials regarding missatributed nazi symbols which are - by the way - banned since decades in Germany? I don't. So you can draw a Z in the dirt of the neighbor's car if you want to test the idea (and happen to live in Germany, which I don't believe), otherwise your relativization is just what it is: a fallacy only serving one side.
Whether that's an issue depends on the threat model of the system you're building, and also the legal context you are operating in. In the UK, for example, biological authentication and password authentication are both treated equally and you can be imprisoned for two years for refusing to provide either under RIPA legislation. Equally the US could (and IMO should) change the law to treat biological authentication as equivalent to password authentication when it comes to the right against self-incrimination.

But besides that, a biological verification could rely on someone performing some sort of affirmative action (think "my voice is my password" type systems). Indeed, prior to computers, nearly all authentication was performed roughly in this manner but with humans rather than AIs doing the evaluation. In practice, the authentication part generally worked quite well (but bribing the authenticator was a good "hack").

Yes. I think there is a strong market opportunity for recruiting companies that find remote employees who are really who they say they are and aren't running any kind of scam.

How does one go about this?

You interview your boss in the interview process and get a feel for what type of preson he is and then go with that gut feeling yes/no

when your current boss leaves and you get a new boss that you don't like. Quit and go back to step 1.

Does anyone operate like this? doesn't seem very practical or foolproof.
Personally I have used calculus rarely. I wish I had had a better grounding in statistics. I suspect that may be true for others.
As always the actual law is more nuanced than what fits in a tweet. Showing Nazi symbols in support of Nazis is forbidden in Germany, showing the exact same symbols in an educational context or in art, science, news or as a measure against nazis is perfectly fine. You're allowed to show people what a swastika looks like, and you are allowed to burn swastikas, but put it on your armband and you are in trouble.

For video games it's of course even more complicated, they have an age rating given out by an industry board (just like movies in the US) and their views on what's acceptable shift drastically over time.

Indeed. In fact, OP's quote is considered and dismissed by Graeber in Debt using precisely the same example:

"Occasionally, we can even find some kind of currency beginning to develop: for instance, in POW camps and many prisons, inmates have indeed been known to use cigarettes as a kind of currency, much to the delight and excitement of professional economists. But were too we are talking about people who grew up using money and now have to make do without it - exactly the situation "imagined" by the economics textbooks."
I am self-employed and I love doing what I get paid to do but there are many other things I like to do as well. I work hard enough to pay my bills and really not much harder.
> Should we tolerate the intolerant

Yes. Tolerance is absolute, it must be capable of withstanding anything without compromising. Otherwise it is not tolerance, it is selective intolerance.

A truly tolerant free speech society should be able to tolerate even literal nazi discourse without crumbling. What happens in practice is people get tired of debating, decide they're right and start excluding others.
In my short life, I've supported the right of many people to say shit I disagree with. Even pretty awful, disgusting shit at that.

How come I'm able to draw the line at "supporting an unjustified genocidal war, the invasion and killing of my neighbours, and the destruction of their homes"?

How come I'm able to see the difference between "freedom of having and speaking opinions that are contrary to the mainstream's", and "freedom to want to murder innocents"?
You are entirely correct. Unfortunately anything short of a textbook is going to be "Mostly Right" when it comes to security/encryption.

> Encrypting before hashing doesn't actually help us

Technically correct. There is no additional need to hash once you are encrypting already. However, when compliance tells you that you need to use hashing but you still need sub 10ms performance you sometimes need to use encryption. The disadvantage is the necessity for key management, HSMs, etc... Anything with low enough entropy is going to NEED encryption unless you are using ridiculous BCrypt or PBKDF2 parameters and are willing to wait a day or two to verify a hash.

> Large file hashes

If you salt the file data appropriately this is not an issue. The salt can be a part of the encrypted file ensuring that your hash doesn't collide.
We aren't really talking about overtime though, which also exists in the US, but the amount of output during a normal 8 hour day. You might get paid somewhat more than a peer for putting out 2x the output but there are massive diminishing returns.
Honestly that's what anyone employed to a company should care about. Your aim should be delivering value, which sometimes means making long term investments that improve the development environment.

You also should spend a portion time learning as it enables you to create more value over time.

And yes you should take time to get to know your colleagues, take breaks, play ping pong, etc. This helps you refresh yourself and avoid running out of steam.

But the work is meant to create value, hence why you are rewarding with currency you can exchange for things you value.

Manage a positive work life balance and and do the "fun" stuff outside of work. Life is not all work and work is not all of life.
I have that BoTW t-shirt, as a huge Zelda fan.

You can be damn sure I'll likely never wear it again.
Sounds like you have a typical family where each kid has found a way to get your attention. Positive Discipline suggests you likely dote on the one who is well behaved, while the other two primarily receive attention in the form of "why can't you be more like Matt?" Or, when they do improve, they don't get any attention for it because it's not up to what Matt could or would do. How accurate does that sound for your family?

The starting suggestion positive discipline might have is to block out some one-on-one time in the week, one parent with one misbehaving kid, even if it's just for an hour each. Then you are fulfilling their need for a connection in a positive way. You may see each other in a different light and even discover new strengths and contributions to the family. The idea is their need to get your attention by misbehaving will decrease over time.

oh yeah I wasn't disagreeing with you, just trying to think about what you meant. I agree, you probably want to know the basic pop-cultural and international goings-on in order to not be left out of conversations.
Yes. This exactly - the corruptive influence of large sums of money is something software that respects user freedom needs to be resilient against.

Social software should have built-in moderation controls that assumes moderators are corruptible and may sell out the community.
I hear you; however, changing random broken html found on the web into a readable piece of plain text is not that easy. Think about old school layout done with tables, source code listing, link farms, etc. Dumb down the html is actually easier.
Companies invest in all sorts of things that don't have an immediately tangible impact.

In terms of developer productivity, it all depends on management's assumptions built into their labor model. If you are paying top of market for "A players" who do "10x," the company might need the few engineers it has to do a huge/unsustainable amount of "focused work"

If management's model depends on high-potential team members upskilling on the job, "the fun stuff" might just be priced in.

The above are absolutely reductive and do not cover all cases.
Never said it was universally held. Nothing is. I know european flat earthers, even. But do you disagree that it's by far the majority opinion and trend here?

BTW. If RT weren't DNS censored, all you would get is a 403. RT is now excluding most countries all on its own.
Thanks, you too! Maybe yours will become better too after you try rereading the article and getting past its clickbait title and provocative framing.

Oh. You mean with a vtable. Like with OO languages and virtual functions. And it would be just like that except perhaps with borrow checking. ,#rust
Yeah, it is curious that when self-recognized free speech advocates talk, they are not focusing on their right to run your own newspaper or criticize your own government but on the "right" to hurt someone with words and symbols.
I think a lot of people, myself included, do not think that Germany often goes overboard when it comes to censoring things.

From my limited time in Germany, and from my few German friends, I do not believe there is a "high false-positive rate" and they do not "rightfully fear that the system can be abused".

Any system can be abused, but they are not in "fear" of that. They generally support the idea that Nazi ideals need to be curtailed given the atrocities committed to millions of people.

Obviously, and as indicated, this is my very small circle of acquaintances. Hardly a national poll.
Awesome! Are you guys thinking about using some already existing solution or perhaps developing your own?

No worries if you haven't thought that far forward, that's also fine. :)
I agree with the general concept that, at the individual level, news consumption is bad for your mental health and pretty much useless. At the societal level though... if everybody took this approach there would be no accountability for politicians or corporations.

How do we find a healthy middle ground?

Millions of children in the world do not have the money to spend $20 (quoted price for a game in the blog) for one game. Loot boxes subsidize games for these children.
I wonder if the same is true for other professions as well? Athletes must have to design their entire lives around a few minutes of competition. Surgeons need to train for years, and all that is evaluated is the patient outcome in the operating room. Lawyers need to train, study, and prepare, and only the court outcome matters.

Maybe this is an unfair parallel, but I cannot see why.
If you ask me my opinion on most issues my answer is going to be "I don't know" or "I don't care".

Unlocking your team’s full potential via OKRs
My biggest concern would be lock-in to the license, not lock-in to an old Python version. The nominal cost to get up-to-date right now doesn't guarantee me perpetual updates, right?

I'm also suspect of the misleading presentation on the landing page; nothing in the "Open Source" section says anything about the fact that the author has resolved to let the Open Source version effectively die, while up-selling existing users to the paid version. I respect the approach, and you deserve to be payed for the work, but it would be good to not effectively lie on the home page.
> The fraud is a distinctly pre-21st century one, relying as it does on handling large amounts of cash while operating parallel books. Then pivoting to stock fraud to take in a bigger pie from investors.

> Can confirm this will not get you promoted, it will just get you more work. You are more valuable as a peon than management if you are this good at your job. Always act dumber than your boss

I've been promoted at every job I've had by working both smart and hard, but never exceeding 40 hours except in very rare exceptional circumstances. Devs have higher IC roles to fill so that helps. But now I get to be miserable as a manager. Be careful what you wish for. And please, be smarter than me so I feel good about you taking my place when I leave.

That said, I don't think many people are productive for more than 20 hours a week for sustained periods and we should all work less.
> I still have no idea why so many people choose to work with them.

A good one is worth every penny of that month of rent.

Having to advertise, and then deal with the current tenant+prospective tenant tours and scheduling is very much worth it just on it's own. Add in screening/background checks/credit checks and such and it's substantial. A good listing agent will also be up to speed on local laws and assist on that front as well letting you know of any recent changes.

For me, it saves a bunch of time, and doesn't disrupt my dayjob.

I still do most of my own maintenance and such, but the marketing and finding new tenants really is the worst part (other than a horrible tenant!) of the landlording experience. If I ever retire I'd likely do it myself to save the cash.

As usual in such middle-men "industries" with no barrier of entry it attracts a lot of grifters and least-effort individuals so it's kind of a pain to find someone reliable.
It's definitely not illegal in Ecuador, where I live, so no. More to the point, if they are getting the code they want, why should anyone care?

I don't trust AAA studios, or any game studio for that matter, to implement NFTs in a responsible and ethical manner.

Ubisoft has announced NFT integration via their own platform. However, unlike an actual "I can do what I want with this" token, it may as well be a database entry in the company network: https://quartz.ubisoft.com/welcome/

I don't think there's any way to 'solve' NFTs in games right now: A true NFT can be moved anywhere on an open network (monkey jpeg receipts, etc), but a game-related NFT needs to be constrained to those users who play the game, otherwise it's even more useless.

It doesn't help that most things NFT-related are scams, hype bait, etc.
Fuchsia's driver handling is superior to what you get with linux. Because pretty much everything is pushed into userspace it makes it dead simple to keep a driver going forever.

Were I to guess, the prime motivation for Fuchsia would be to have a phone or IoT device which could regularly receive kernel updates without needing hardware vendor interaction. That's the biggest sore spot for linux. (not that I think Fuchsia's kernel would require a bunch of updates due to how simple it is).

This is an outsider's perspective. Definitely a big expensive project that reminds me of other big expensive google projects which seem DoA.
That list is not complete. As example it is illegal in Slovakia while not in that list.
> You aren't suggesting any solutions.

I'm not a child psychotherapist (but I was married to one). But I believe that in the case of children, and possibly with adults too, providing a warm, supportive environment for the subject to explore their feelings and behaviour is at least part of a solution.

> You shouldn't dilute the term abusive like that.

What's your threshold for calling something "abuse"? At my school we had to play Rugby Union. In one year, several kids in my class were hospitalised with gashes caused by metal boot-studs in the scrum. My son had flat feet; running literally caused him pain.

> I don't think you have kids

I think you think too much. I have two adult kids, and two grandchildren.

> just saying things you shouldn't do, leaving a parent with zero tools

Well, the subject is the consequences of using incarceration as your parenting tool, so that's not surprising.

I'm not suggesting that parenting is easy. And I'm certainly not going to point at some doctrine or methodology, and say "everyone should do it this way". People are people, and they're all different. There's no "right way" of dealing with people. But neglecting children, and then punishing them because they act up, is the "wrong way".
