It's not a huge step backwards, the time spent charging on a road trip. That occasional cost pales in comparison to the benefits and conveniences I experience every day by driving electric.

Here's an example: I save 5 mins a week not having to fill up at the gas station, which is 260 mins a year. On a typical road trip I spend about 30 mins charging each way. So even after 4 road trips in a year, I've still saved 20 mins.

My electric car is hands down my favorite purchase ever, and those I know who have gotten one tend to feel similarly.
This incident reinforces the rule never to use your debit card for credit card transactions.
This is from the first article I came across on the RT front page right now:

>Moscow attacked neighboring Ukraine last month, following a seven-year standoff over Kiev’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.

>Russia has now demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military alliance. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.

It doesn't seem like they are afraid of getting disappeared for saying russia attacked ukraine.
IIUC, this is just another case where unprivileged users are now allowed to do what once was allowed only to superusers. As long as only root was allowed to add net filter rules, what did it matter if they could do bad stuff? They're root already!

Now, in places where security didn't matter, it suddenly does. Thus, it's not about bad coding habits, but inadequate care in extending privileges to untrusted users. The code should have been cleaned up first.
An interesting research direction would be to see how much the GPT3 deviates as we get more precise on various computational tasks. Possibly this would give some measure of some of the concepts the model has learned

If you live largely "off the grid", grow much of your own food, don't go out much (since any going out means a lot of driving, if you're in the country), and rarely order goods delivery... sure.

I rarely use the Django Admin except maybe for poking around in the early stages. I’ve never tried to build a full blown app/site with it.

I think the right comparison here is to Flask-Admin, though, not Flask itself, and I’ll just say that the app I have to deal with that’s built on Flask-Admin is a nightmare, certainly no better than an equivalent app using Django Admin would be.

Re the Django ORM, SQLAlchemy is certainly better in many ways, but the Django ORM is pretty good these days (and has been for a while IMO).

If I know I’ll have complex database requirements that Django can’t easily handle, I’d much rather use Pyramid + SQLAlchemy than Flask.
> Universities aren't trade schools. You go there to learn, not to earn a job.

This hasn't been true for probably half a century, possibly longer. The number of people who go to university simply for the learning experience is almost certainly vanishingly small.

If you look, for example, at the completion rates of non-college courses like you'd find on Udemy, etc. It's <10%.

You would also expect audit rates to be much higher for people looking 'just to learn' - auditing classes is typically significantly cheaper than paying full price for the course.

People go to school because they are looking for an edge in their long term earning potential (types of jobs, credentials leading to higher salaries, etc).
I’d think heads of governments should be able to piece together two words to form an understanding of something, even if they’re unfamiliar with it, without being spoonfed.

"Maybe We Were Wrong About Be Wrong About Web3"
I'm going to reprise a comment of mine that I posted on a similar HN article some time ago.

Over the years I've witnessed a lot of heated debates on HN... Is the JS ecosystem actually too complex? Is PHP really a fractal of bad design? Is learning vim worth the effort or is it all hype? Is golang fundamentally broken because it lacks(lacked) generics? Does anyone ever actually need k8s? Is nosql always the wrong choice? Is the linux desktop experience truly productive or should you just use a mac? Types or no types? 100% test coverage or overkill? X or Wayland? Gnome2 or Unity? Android or iPhone etc...

Yet, only in the cryptocurrency debate do defenders have to offer up a disclaimer about all the scams, hype, vaporware, fraud, waste, hacks, speculation, crime and other insanity before proceeding to make an appeal to the nebulous hope of future possibilities, as if cryptocurrency isn't older than instagram....
Expect? I'm pretty sure they pay for it.
I built https://PlotPanel.com with Django, htmx, Alpine.js, and Tailwind CSS. I was new to all 4 of those technologies and learnt whilst on the project, it was a great experience. It was my first time using the Stripe API too, which has the nicest documentation I've ever seen!
>Everybody has seen Google's landing page. Function over form.

My favorite thing about google's home page is having their elaborate doodles load just as I'm about to tap on the search box, leading me to an unintended search. Function over form at its finest.

I've resorted to bookmarking an empty search results page.
For now. Cryptocurrency hacks are like EVE Online news, where there would be a story every few months about a massive heist totaling tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars of real-world currency, or yet another bigger battle that destroyed enough vessels equivalent to that amount. Just people outdoing themselves every time.
> Some idents follow ham conventions and are followed by “/r” meaning “repeater”.

One of the few things I have caught is that the end of the Morse code is: Di-dah-dit (or "r" as you mentioned). So that makes sense!

> followed by three numbers

All letters are 4-or-fewer dits/dahs. All numbers (0 through 9) are 5x dits/dahs exactly.

I've caught the pattern of 3 numbers in there for sure, but I'm not competent enough to know what numbers they are exactly. I'm good enough to count "oh, 5x dits/dahs" but not translate (or even remember the dits/dahs after they're sent)

Its not like this repeater warns me before it sends Morse code. It just sends it all in maybe a span of ~5 seconds, so its one of those things thtat I probably need to be trained in Morse Code before I can just remember / write down what was transmitted. Fortunately, it does seem to send it every ~15 minutes or so (I haven't timed the exact pattern quite yet, so maybe it is 10 minutes like you suggested...)
But all along, this person's preference is Democrat > Republican > Independent. That doesn't change. The fact that their best interests are served by casting a ballot which doesn't reflect that is exactly the problem!

I’m happy that the author starts to have doubts and consider being wrong. I hope that in a few moons they can write a blog post titled “we were wrong about Web3” and focus on their main product that sounds promising.
I think in the scenario where miners block the move to PoS (or any other much-more-scalable technology) is a scenario where nobody ever actually uses crypto for anything, and almost all coins go to $0 after the speculative bubble pops. To be clear, I think that's certainly a possible world, maybe even the modal outcome.

The alternative world, where we're using crypto to pay for everything, and we're no longer logging into twitter, but instead using our keys to log into a client for a globally distributed twitter where we own all our data on a blockchain - that's impossible without not just Eth2 but a several orders of magnitude of improvements beyond that.

Basically, I think taking the current per-transaction carbon impacts, multiplying it by eg. Visa's transaction volume, and forecasting a world where crypto is burning 1,000X as much carbon as the whole transportation sector or whatever - is a fallacy. Crypto will either solve the scalability problem (and therefore consume a much more moderate amount of energy), or it won't be used at all.
I just want to point out that this comment is exactly why social engineering is a problem. You have been a victim of what happens when a company doesn't put in enough effort to verify the identity of the person they have on the phone. Yet when that company starts putting in that effort, you object and call it a "punishment".

Convenience and security are often in direct competition with each other. Almost all of us would expect convenience in this situation. You should know better more than most the cost of choosing convenience and even you want that convenience. Is there any wonder why businesses select convenience over security?
Russia can do it without any backlash from their citizens. U.S. can't do it to their own citizens without backlash. Differences in representation of population means different incentives.
This is true about cryptocurrency as well.
It’s a complicated issue - my anecdote is that any risk will ultimately be manifested in the form of more selectivity on the landlords end.
Entire world in late 1920s, Iceland in 2008,Russia currently.

Of course my examples are a bit tongue in cheek, much more nuanced and not as "Bank bad" as I paint them to be. But It's entirely possible for a bank run/economic downturn to wipe out a currency overnight.

Does that mean crypto is the solution? It sure doesn't seem to be given cases like this (NFT/ETH being rugpulled from/by videogame devs). But I think that creating "better banks" can only mean "more government oversight", which leads right back to the original problem IE; economic/political factors having too much control.

I of course keep all my money in the form of expired New Hampshire State Highway toll tokens.
Preact / React + TypeScript largely does away with this. For most of my projects, fixing the compiler errors means the UI largely works (other than plain logic errors). I did AngularJS, too, and it's a totally different, terrible ballgame. I recommend giving Preact a try.
Even if that is desired and wouldn't spark a philosophical debate about wether centralized entities should get involved at all, there is a much deeper problem.

Every transaction that is occurring now on the chain will be invalidated.

That means you can't even reverse a single transaction you will have to reverse one transaction and ALL other transactions that happened after the one you want to reverse.

If that happens too often why would I want to to transact on a chain that is under constant threat to be forked off?
Very happy to see this. I think it's a great pattern. It pushes functional concepts into code and stuff like state management into the runtime.
You can read the messages in those transactions by choosing "view input as...". Pretty funny actually:

The increased risk of total loss in the edge case is in exchange for a more efficient system with lower prices in the average case. Individual users should make an informed decision about the tradeoff.

Nobody wants full democracy. Full democracy is what allowed Hitler to get away with gassing six million Jews, just because the majority of the population agreed it was a good idea at the time. Now Germany has very strict constitutional protections of certain rights to make it very hard for the majority to violate the minority like that again. State rights act similarly, protecting the populations of individual states to some degree from the arbitrary whims of the majority.
It is an excellent piece of software.

Yikes, you can't post like this on HN, or like your other comments in this thread. No matter how wrong someone else is or you feel they are, you need to stick to the site guidelines: .https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html We ban accounts that break them this abusively, so please don't do that again!

If you wouldn't mind reviewing the guidelines and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
What savings?

The savings associated with transactions fees (reasonable for very large spends - utterly ridiculous for small amounts, even today after the major drops, at more than 1.7 USD/tx)?

The savings associated with double spend fraud that occurs if you don't delay the transaction for 3 to 6 blocks even though you say it's final (hint - that's not true, and waiting is a large downside for prompt processing at a point of sale)

The savings associated with being literally dragged into court because it turns out that fraud is still a thing, and the legal system still matters, and despite you saying that the transaction has settled - the courts can and WILL disagree?

I just don't see it. I see a very nice way to send money to folks who are working dark markets and understand escrow (which re-introduces the risk that your transaction isn't actually settled), and a really shitty transaction method for basically everything else.
That is how it's often implemented i.e. shift back to the domain you actually need to be able to compute.

> making social media followers, Academy Award nominations, and academic citation metrics all fungible with an "Internet points" abstraction even in principle is almost certainly a disaster waiting to happen.

I don't recommend that any community makes a social media follower equivalent in value to an academic citation metric, but there may be specific cases where, for example, having more than 1000 social media followers grants you the same allowance of a resource (e.g. compute cycles, or disk space) as having 1 research paper cited in a prestigious journal.

The important thing is that it would be up to each community to decide for themselves how much each type of reputation is worth. (They could even decide that having an Academy Award nomination should give negative reputation, although if identities are anonymous then a user would have plausible deniability).

It's also worth noting that social media followers are, in some sense, already fungible. For example, some monetisation programs require at least 1000 followers, and some brand deals require a specific audience size. Obviously that is treating one follower as completely interchangeable for any other follower.
> eye-opening to see all the comments wishing for an all-powerful referee to check every outcome and action in private affairs

News flash: this is a part of why we have banking and securities regulations. Because when the people clamouring for an out lose money, 90% of them turn it into everyone else’s problem. (This is true in traditional finance. It’s true in crypto. It’s true when the three-year old screams about not being allowed the hot sauce and then screams when they taste it.)

$625mm from Axie Infinity is tolerable to the system. But when Tether busts, do you really think it won’t become our elected governments’ problem?

The 1k+ comment count speaks for itself, but it's hard to overstate the importance of this decision. Maybe the wind has changed on some very lofty peaks.

My opinion has always been that the SAT/ACT is the best method we currently have to achieve any reasonable goals that you might have for an admissions process, with one possible exception. In fact the SAT/ACT looks to me like a better method to achieve the aims that the anti-SAT faction claims they're fighting for, than any other method on the table, again with one exception. As such I'm delighted with this decision.

(Sure, you could spend a lot of time and money designing a test that's even better calibrated than the SAT/ACT, and then switch to that. Until you've done that, I'm in favour of sticking with the SAT/ACT.)

The one exception is if you want a quota-based affirmative action program (or, to be more precise, a back door to get around the legal ban on an openly quota-based admissions system in the US). It is possible for two people to disagree on whether this is a good thing while both of them remain decent human beings, as far as I'm concerned.

If we actually want to curb gun-related deaths, start with the war on drugs and reforming urban culture — but that's hard and risky for politicians, so instead they choose to go after legal owners.

I think this is one of the reasons why a lot of students prefer assessment models
that reward 'effort over time' - taking 5 tests over 15 weeks helps reduce the downside of doing badly on a single exam/homework/etc. (Which is not to say that all students prefer this approach, but for those that do prefer it this is a common reason)

Of course, this then leads us back to the problem of assessing people early on in the term before they've had a chance to build up some momentum in their knowledge & learning.

But yeah - there's this sea-saw balancing act between a small number of higher-stakes assessment vs. spreading the assessment out & assessing earlier as well as later when designing assessments in formal education.
I would hire a developer and a marketer and get my projects off the ground properly.
>> lookup tables and lerp are the most common solution I've seen

The author missed one nice table method. When you need sin() and cos() split the angle into a coarse and fine angle. Coarse might be 1/256 of a circle and fine would be 1/65536 of a circle (whatever that angle is). You look up the sin/cos of the coarse angle in a 256 entry table. Then you rotate that by the fine angle which uses another 256 sin * cos entries. The rotation between coarse values is more accurate than linear interpolation and give almost the same accuracy as a 65536 entry table using only 768 entries. You can use larger tables or even another rotation by finer angle steps to get more accuracy.
There are already public key schemes that are resilient to quantum attacks and I would be surprised if we build a scalable reliable quantum computer before we switch to these (not yet well tested) schemes. Old recorded communications will be decrypted but historically that has not been a very big deal.

> buy a bike

"Same but pedal powered" isn't really all that much different than "same but electric" though. As the contentiousness in the replies clearly shows, doing just that without addressing the fundamental issues with how we manage various kinds of consumption - especially but not only of land - simply will not work. Many people will not go along. Ever. Some of the alternatives create their own problems, or wouldn't make a significant dent in climate change, pollution, etc. The 90% solution for young, childless, non-disabled, crowding-tolerant people is nowhere near the 100% solution (or at least 99.9% solution) that's really needed.

"Rethink the whole design" (your words) means more than "move to the city and ride a bike" leaving cities and bikes and practically everything else almost entirely as they are or even making things worse. Hint: cities are prone to all sorts of problems from supply to waste, from crime to disease, even at current sizes and densities let alone those which would result from everyone following that prescription. When we think about reclaiming all that land wasted by suburban sprawl, a better solution might be making small- to medium-size town centers more nearly self sufficient (i.e. living + working + shopping + recreation and food supply around the edges). Thousands of those, well connected to one another, would be far better than dystopian dozens of NYC/LA/Beijing clones with no human habitation in between. It's a larger change, but both more likely to appeal and more likely to make a difference.
