The pricing (in the FAQ) is a non-starter for me, but there are probably enough people with the money for it to make a nice business out of it. Maybe it'll be enough to apply some competitive pressure to Google.

edit: to be clear, it's not unwillingness, I literally do not have $10-30/month to spare without compromising my progress toward not being perpetually broke. Not everyone here is a well-compensated tech worker.
Every time I start to feel despondent about the state of the US Congress, I remember that Wyden exists, and I feel a twinge of hope.
I'm in the UK.

40 years old. A million pound would last me the rest of my life.

Assuming I earn ~£50k a year, lets say £35k a year after tax and deductions, for the next 20 years, that comes out at about £700,000 after tax income. I live comfortably right now off that.

That still leaves me £300k.

My outgoings are pretty small, and will be drastically smaller in 5 years or so when the mortgage is paid off.

If you give me a tax free million today, I would quit my job tomorrow, as that's more than I'll earn for the rest of my life.

That's not counting money I already have in savings too.

Intel just unveiled the 'world's fastest' desktop processor
Even if you somehow mandated a special ecash chip, #2 with #4 would seem to be very difficult to secure - with all the motivation in the world to crack. It's the clipper chip, except this time with digital cash! Seems like it would also have privacy and gov't monitoring concerns.
This is why people don't like IT staff a lot of time. They think their needs of making their own jobs easier outweigh those of the organization and getting stuff done.
One way to approach crime is to make the risk too big. What about punishing with death those who do identity theft and impersonation? Our society tolerates too much crime.

Speaking as a hiring manager, how long it's taken someone to learn something in the past has only ever figured into things when there wasn't a full fit between their skills (as interviewed) and what we're needing.

I've never looked at how long someone was in college, and honestly don't care if it took them 4 years or 10. I assume there's a reason it took them 10, and that could be lighter class load, a change in major, or all manner of things. If it's because they took every class 2-3x, because the first time it didn't stick, it'll show up in the interview process that they can't pick things up quickly, and I can do what I want with that information.

But to the grandparent's point, if I gave a leetcode problem (I don't), and someone immediately coded the ideal solution effortlessly, which tells me they have seen that problem recently, I'm not going to just be like "yep, hire this person, they're clearly a great engineer!" They're great and/or lucky at test prep, which is not the skill I care about.
There are tons of reports of officers being disciplined punished or jailed for using a gun when the other person was violently resisting arrest.

Police across the country are letting criminals run rampant due to fear of prosecution for doing their job.
We should learn something from these pictures - we're so infinitely small and unimportant regardless of our pathological narcissism and greed. We should be humble and modest and all agree that there is so much more outside of Earth than on Earth where we wage wars and kill each other over stupidity. Instead, focus all efforts on us becoming interplanetary, and then there's more out there than our greed can ever handle!
What do you mean? The US had practically nothing to do with that. The Ukrainian people wanted a regime change. That there might've been some contact really doesn't mean it's all the making of US in spite of Ukrainians. And they wanted a regime change much earlier than 2014 btw, they just were silenced (fairly brutally).
Thanks, I'll see if I can make it before the final deadline. I might be more organized by the next batch though.

Well, yeah. The firmware had been designed for a quite different rocket, the Ariane 4: https://www.bugsnag.com/blog/bug-day-ariane-5-disaster

I don't know how this is really a mark against Ada, it's an issue that would only be discovered by human intervention or by running a simulation of the rocket.
How to quickly end the war in Ukraine with $10 laser pointers
It's all hypothetical at the moment, but that scenario would seem to be supported by the section on devices: https://ecashact.us/#devices. You would need a separate device capable of transferring funds between bearer devices, but those would presumably be widely available, as every merchant would also need one to accept ecash for a transaction or to issue a refund.

So for instance, you might transfer $X/week to an app on your kid's phone for lunch money, or put $X on your "walking around" card, both of which could draw from a different instrument you leave at home that has a larger reserve on it.
In the software development world, we simply moved it from university admissions to employment interviews.
“The potential release of mercury into the upper atmosphere by the firing of mercury-fueled thrusters could almost double the total atmospheric mercury emissions the U.S. is currently responsible for“

Thanks for HN educating me. This would become a significant source of modern US environmental mercury contamination. However, if you summed up all the coal fired power plant mercury emissions over time, this still seems insignificant. It’s not clear how long the mercury cycle takes for mercury to get locked into ocean sediment (effectively out of the food web). If it’s on the order of thousands of years, then satellite propellants are unlikely to be major contributors.

But the scale is surprising, and I would congratulate the FCC for pushing this restriction.
Ya it’s pretty obvious whenever I see LatinX that they have zero Latino/Latina representation inside the company.

I would be intrigued though has YC ever formally come out and said they are looking to increase diversity and thereby decrease the amount of Asian and White male founders they accept each batch?

Also why does YC not report on LGBTQ stats for their founders then? Surely they are also underrepresented in the Startup world as well.
It’s strange you believe any financial transaction including selling shares of a company is inherently a ripoff. A really weird way to view the economy, since price is something that has to be agreed to by all parties. Why would some investor have to buy my company? If they are doing that it’s because they view it as a good deal.

Yeah, it was my preferred AV for a while, til I switched to a local company
That's still a judgemental statement but has not nothing to do with the fundamental complaint: that learning isn't about ranking and rating to multiple decimal places, and that Language curricula isn't somehow inferior to Engineering.
$1 million free-and-clear to me alone? After taxes, I'd put it into index funds and then take some time off to spend time with family and to change to a certain career adjacent to my current one that I would love to do.

$1 million for investment, but otherwise free-and-clear? I'd form an LLC and then buy into local cash-flow businesses like laundromats, equipment rentals, and apartment rentals. Then I would use the cash flow from those business to pursue more exploratory business ideas.
It's Kotlin now. Kotlin has similar expressibility and extensibility, without Scala pitfalls. (Scala pitfalls that people didn't like included new versions having breaking changes, complexity, theoretical/academic features that weren't necessarily useful to consumer applications, and slow build times).
Right, I frequently get angry at just how dumb diff really is. How it's greedy and can't recognize the best seams between blocks of code. But then when I think of simple rules that would improve the results, I see how they would lead to other problems in other places. So using syntax seems necessary.
I don't really see the point of this article, it's well known bankruptcies stay on your credit report for 10 years.

With the recent rent moratoriums, I expect landlords to get even harsher. A tenant can easily pay rent two or three times, and then stretch out the eviction proceedings for 6 to 18 months depending on the state .

If this person went and filed for a second bankruptcy, they could then delay the eviction by years.

The bigger issue of course is we haven't built up enough new housing over the last 40 years, you want there to be so much available housing landlords can't be selective. They have to take the risk of losing a bit of money, because they're going to lose an absolute ton if they let their units remain vacant.
Sure, it is unwise to make life choices based on internet comments because of people like the OP. Even so, it does not absolve OP and people like them of having contributed to the harm that can occur due to their contributions.

One of the best course structures I ever had was my Circuits Theory course. There were three total exams where the first two covered different material, and the third covered everything. On the third, we were able to 'correct' our score one of the first two exams if we did we better on the portions of third exam that covered the material. And the best part is that if you did worse on the third exam over the past material. It wouldn't retroactively degrade your score.

It went something like:

1st Exam: Subject A
2nd Exam: Subject B
3rd/Final: Subject A/B/C

I always wished this was the structure for every course. It allowed for those who didnt do well to stay in the course and encouraged them to understand the way the proffesor assigns work too!

I can't speak to its inadequacy, but I can point out that it is obviously unethical for Microsoft to sell a broken operating system and then separately profit from a product that mitigates part of what is broken in Windows. Microsoft now has no incentive to fix Windows, and, in fact, benefits from not fixing it. Seems to me that is a job for Linux, anyway, and this one time Linux fell down on the job and failed utterly, iow, not even Linux can make Windows secure. Does anyone else see the irony of the FCC banning Kaspersky? It is as silly and ineffective as banning viruses and malware. If they had any concern for security as opposed to security theater, they'd ban Windows.
The bigger problems for me would be the appstores because they could implement a mitm. Telegram and Signal have their client sources open so you at least can check and compile them yourself but if I would handle data that was so sensitive that I can't trust any other entity I would just self host matrix or xmpp and chat with myself...
Pushing these responsibilities onto individual consumers is not going to work. You're not going to win anybody over by saying "buy a bike and vote to make it more convenient". Instead, the change needs to come from above, and it needs to compel people to switch. Make a bike-only life desirable, or even preferable, then people will choose it. Of course there's a chicken and egg problem, and several financial, and political problems. We need the equivalent of an eco-dictator. And on a global scale. And that would bring its own set of problems of course.
You should at least consider pseudo-anonymity
I had such a time quitting my first job.

Me – I have decided to part ways with the company. Here's my 2 week notice. Let's work out a transition plan.

Manager – You can't do that! We have to ship this project by end of quarter. There's no way we will be able to find a replacement in time.

Me – Well that's unfortunate, but my end date isn't flexible.

Manager – Let me discuss this with [director] and get back to you.

Me – There is nothing to discuss. I'm not asking for permission.

And then he had the audacity to switch up the project dates and suggest that I work overtime and finish all the work before leaving.
Measuring IQ has an extremely narrow utility in general, and is rife with problems of measurement, to the point that people struggle to see correlations when we are talking about primary education.

But even disregarding that, it is philosophically problematic to think along these lines. People learn and know things in an absolute plurality of ways, and in ways that can only be measured with very limited means; there is more than one way for someone to skin the cat of learning.

In general, an absolute Platonic ideal of intelligence, which IQ enthusiasts implicitly rely on, is the thing that got us in this mess pedagogically.
It's not a CBDC, but it's not in competition with a CBDC either.

"Hi, I'm rvr_ member of law enforcement, someone's life is in danger, please provide customer details for IP 1.2.3.4 immediately!"

... ignoring those double impersonation swatting problems, enforcement against crimes online is really hard due to global scope. Police won't even investigate because all they find is that the hacker was some russian and they can't do anything about it.
They do, but they have a steeper learning curve and cause more separation between back and front end. Sometimes that's good, sometimes it isn't.

That's the system working as intended. Clean kitchens not only don't get their customers sick, but taste better too. Filthy kitchens go out of business. Most kitchens are clean, because the people who work there keep them clean, the rule in a manual does none of the cleaning, the people do all of it. And people know, come on, people are wise to this shit, they've been told not to trust their sense of taste in order to accept medicine that is clearly bad for them, but they don't believe 100% in the gaslighting, get real.

Some backstory that's not in the piece. I originally started reporting this about six months ago, when an anonymous tip suggested people were creating fake police department .org domains and sending requests from there. Spent ridiculous amt of time chasing that to no end.

As part of that research I looked at all new police dept domains in the last year. Found so many I was sure were fake. They were all real. Some were half-done. Some completely wide open, security-wise. It was depressing to learn after that there are > 18k police depts nationwide.
why are we even talking about a $500 php server, that is like the 0.01% of websites, You either need really specialized requirements or to be in the top 1,000 websites to need anything near what you can get for $500/month.
I developed almost exclusively in django for many years before moving to react or vue for frontends.

The switch from django templates was painful and a tremendous learning curve, so I get the value proposition of drop-in interactivity tools like HTMx. But when you compare the two frontend ecosystems (javascript vs htmx) it's night and day. The support, the DX tooling, the variety of libraries... that's not to say HTMx couldn't one day mature to a comparable place, but it seems unlikely, and in the meantime investing in "eating the elephant" by learning a JS framework seems worthwhile for anyone planning to spend a significant amount of time building frontends

You make two strong arguments about why the value of money is based on people's belief in it's value. And then you just ignore them.

As you said, if people don't believe the government will enforce it, it has less value. As you clearly say, it doesn't matter what the government says, it matters what people believe.

And it hyper inflation or matters what people believe future value is.

You should rethink your definition of money because you've essentially demonstrated its value derives from belief.
No, of, and these numbers are very likely to be underestimates.

I'm not too familiar with YAML, so can't answer to that.

But re JSON:

> object keys in a different order

They can't be "in a different order" as JSON keys are not ordered. They can be whatever order, and would still be considered the same.

> array items are out of order

Then it's different, as JSON arrays are ordered. ["a", "b"] is not the same as ["b", "a"] while {a: 1, b: 1} and {b: 1, a: 1} is the same.

> you could UTF-8 encode characters or write out the same character using backslash notation, numeric or boolean data that might be wrapped in a string in one file but not in another

Then again, they are different. If the data inside is different, it's different.

I understand that logically, they are the same, but not syntax-wise, which is why I included the "differently formatted" "disclaimer", it wouldn't obviously understand that "one" and "1" is the same, but then again, should you? Depends on use case I'd say, hard to generalize.

Among other concerns, this seems especially susceptible to fraud.
We need to separate the concepts of "voluntarily purchasing a good or using a service" from "voluntarily agreeing to a document". Just because I voluntarily buy something doesn't mean I am necessarily voluntarily agreeing to its manufacturer's terms. It is a condition of buying the product, not something I am willfully agreeing to.

Today, companies can enforce all sorts of crazy things on you just because some internal counsel wrote it in a Terms of Service document. And when you push back, everyone up through to Congress and the Supreme Court throws up their hands and says "Well, you voluntarily agreed to it." No I didn't! There was no meeting of the minds, no ability to negotiate, and the so-called agreement was not offered from an equal bargaining position: It was essentially take-it-or-leave-it policy written by a corporation.

This needs to end. These things are not like contracts that equal parties sit down and shake hands and agree with each other on. I don't know what they are, but to lump them in with contracts and licenses seems totally wrong.

I think most people can measure progress without grades! For me at least, getting a 90% on a test is usually the same as a 100%. That 10% difference is almost always just silly math errors or simple misunderstanding and not a fundamental issue.
It’s also looking like some of the Bidens are going to jail for what they were accusing Trump.

The entire Trump Russia gate was to divert attention from what Hillary / Biden were doing.

Oh a laptop was found with solid evidence showing collusion between the Bidens and various countries. Well naturally the same response is to sensor anyone that wants to talk about it and to impeach Trump.

I'm pretty sure some of the AVX and SSE instructions are patented still, and those are accessible in user-mode and supported by Rosetta 2.

Apple almost certainly was able to either brow-beat Intel into a license, or design around the claims of said patents[0]. FWIW Apple has UI strings for when Rosetta 2 is disabled, so they might have had to consider cases where their license expires or something.

[0] Notably I have no idea if patent claims on a hardware instruction & it's associated implementation would automatically prohibit emulation of that instruction, or if emulation would be a separate patentable.
