The closest thing to micropayments deployed at scale right now seems to be youtube superchats, which use traditional banking stuff.

I believe there are people creating micropayment superchat like systems for crypto, but its difficult when its not integrated into the browser/not integrated into content as well as it is with youtube.

Brave has a pretty cool tipping feature that I’ve used a handful of times, but it’s not integrated into the user experience in a way that people actually use/very few people seem to know about it or use it.

I ate dinner at Co Nam on the corner nearest MacArthur BART last night and it was absolutely jumping with a huge wait. On my way there I rode down Telegraph through Temescal and there were ridiculous crowds of people on every block. On my way home after East Bay Bike Party (1000+ people easily) there was still a big line of people waiting to get into Marufuku Rame even at 10PM. And there was the typical crowd at Kingfish Pub.

The idea that the East Bay somehow died in the last two years is ridiculous.
Huh? They’ve repeatedly said they don’t support violence and has offered to mediate between Russia and Ukraine. Just because they’re looking out for their economic needs — which are wildly different than developed nations — doesn’t mean they support the invasion.
You need to be computationally irreducible through self-attention and conscious self-interaction.

By the same criterion we may need to consider the Wattage cost of intelligence when granting rights to AI. Their kernels needs to be aligned with evolutionary wisdom encoded in our highest motivations.
These things would've been written in assembly code back in the day. So that's your source code. In this case, it looks like they used a custom interpreted VM.
As I am also looking for a flat in Berlin I can only say: At least you got a response. It's nearly impossible to find anything below 20€/m² cold rent and some people are trying to (illegally) sell on old, cheap contracts for 6000€ and more.
NYC has a broker’s fee to pay for rentals. The typical rate is somewhere between a month’s rent and 15% of annual rent. It’s quite expensive.

It kind of looks like zphd is the label of the end of those bytes, right? I mean, that they are referred to somewhere else by using that as an end pointer.

In light of comparisons of the current President to him, the current meme seems to be to consider Carter “an actually very good, misunderstood President” in the hopes of neutering the insult.
But you'd still live the life of a multi millionaire if you moved to India, no? You'd easily be in the top 1% I think, that means a personal driver and help, a gated community etc etc. So how bad would quality of life be to you then?
Yes pollution is the great equalizer though, rich people have to breathe the same air mostly (for now...)
Renting is fundamentally broken.

You submit precious personal info over to a random stranger along with payment to check your credit. Last time I checked, this fee is $25-50 USD. You've now given them enough information to steal your identity. You also may need to do this multiple times if you're rejected. The person receiving this information rarely has identity protection measures in place and you receive no guarantees that they've destroyed this information.

A much better solution would be to develop an escrow service which acts as a middleman between renters and landlords. Aspiring renters could sign up with the escrow and submit their information once. Their one-time fee would cover a fixed number of queries by potential landlords. The queries could include such information as income validation, criminal history, job history, rental history, etc. But these queries could be approved by the renter in advance. This sort of query process allows the renter to control the types of information given out. The queries could be structured to allow pass/fail results only, so that landlords do not receive intimate details but only know whether or not a renter is acceptable based on their criteria.

Once you have a system like that, you can open it up to all sorts of validation queries. Think of it as a general personal information escrow service.

This idea has been bouncing around in my head for over a decade now but I'm more of a low-level systems engineer so I never got around to trying to implement it. Seems like a decent startup idea though.
Service-oriented would be when they make themselves available as a service to "customers" (direct reports, other teams). Think of helpdesk/customer service, where there's docs on how to communicate/collaborate/find needed info, times to schedule meetings/office hours, etc. Focusing more on the experience and needs of the people who might need the manager for something.

Up-managing is basically supporting your boss. Help them with their goals, find ways to unblock them, ask them how they're doing/let them vent, make them look good to others.

Personally I disagree with the whole "making someone else look good" management philosophy (including "only complain up"). I think it's dishonest and counter-productive. Sure it reduces friction, but it doesn't help crappy things be less crappy. It does prevent people from having hard conversations which might change things for the better. We need to take the ego and resistance to change out of work/management.

Speaking as someone with direct experience maintaining Access databases that should have been SQL Server from inception, yes it absolutely does. If you need to force feed 10+GB through Access artificial 2GB constraint and your programming language (VBA) is both single threaded and interpreted, if you aren't clever then you will run into performance problems, just as you would if you were doing something similar in Javascript or Python + SQLite.

I have nothing to gain by lying. You're logic is flawed because you're assuming all questions took six minutes. Rotate Image, Robber II were all under two minutes, many others too. Coin Change and Robber and Merge Two Sorted Lists were under a minute. That leaves plenty of time to solve slightly more difficult problems. A half-dozen or so lines of C, C# or Python solves most of the problems in the set of problems that I tackled.

Have you looked at these problems? They're trivial.

Rotate Image (medium) https://leetcode.com/problems/rotate-image/) is 7 lines of code, because I have to use a temporary variable to do the swap. It is a simple matrix transpose. 5 lines if I could allocate more memory.

Merge Two Sorted Lists (easy) https://leetcode.com/problems/merge-two-sorted-lists/ is 6 lines of code. Walk two lists and do a comparison.

Remove Nth Node from End of List (Medium) https://leetcode.com/problems/remove-nth-node-from-end-of-li... is 7 lines of code. Create a stack, walk the list, pop off the stack, remove the node from the list.

Number of Islands (medium) https://leetcode.com/problems/number-of-islands/ is 12 lines of BFS code.

Coin Change (medium) https://leetcode.com/problems/coin-change/ is 5 lines of code.

I did not provide optimal solutions, which may be why competitive programmers take more time to solve the problems. I will see how I do when I start hitting on some of the hards.
I mean, look at how much pork is included in true Mexican cuisine. But pigs are Eurasian species. Would we claim none of those dishes are truly Mexican? At some point, it’s all an arbitrary classification of convenience.

Once a decade, there is a story about middle managers becoming irrelevant. Somehow they manage to cling on. I'm sure in another decade, we'll get another article about something else making middle managers irrelevant.

Curious about thoughts of fellow HN readers with regards to the ideas set forth in this article from ZeroHedge. I personally highly distrust the motivation behind articles like this, but I try to keep an open mind. Not sure I myself agree with the gist of this article, to me it comes across as typical West-stupid, Russia/China-smart alt-right hyperbole, but maybe that's my own bias blinding me for some truth in there?
This is probably very context-dependent. I have supervised PhD students at a top British university and 2 European research institutes, and usually the students had some freedom within the bounds of the project they chose initially. That’s how it should be: you want students to develop some initiative and they are not here just to follow instructions.

Now, sure it is not absolute freedom because it is supervised and the funding was obtained for a specific project. Funding agencies or industrial sponsors don’t like it when the student does something completely different. But then students apply for specific projects. I have never seen any PhD offer that did not have a set perimeter (within which they do have some freedom), so I am not sure they are being lied to about that. Again, that might be context-dependent.
This illustrates my point perfectly. Theoretical refactoring or optimizations are just hypothetical situations that may or may not occur. Needing to proliferate a function color incurs a real cost in terms of development efficiency. You should get something concrete if you pay the price. Until that happens, such language features are unlikely to gain widespread popularity.
It’s a perfectly honest title. Doctors in China have been performing live human vivisections. People are being cut open and their living, beating heart is being removed. It does not matter that these people are on death row: what matters is that THEY ARE STILL FUCKING ALIVE WHEN THEIR HEART IS CUT OUT OF THEIR LIVING BODY you sick fuck.

I have no experience with this event, but it's sort of common in amateur radio communities that events are scheduled around typical retiree hours (think "early bird special"). It can make it difficult for younger working people to attend, and given the legendary cliquishness of some of those communities it may be intentional. Again I know nothing about this specific event or the organizers so I'm not pointing fingers.

You probably missed the original name drop, or they forgot they haven't dropped it. If you find yourself in that situation, it is not impolite to ask for clarification as to "who is X in all this"?

The customary response is to furnish the information that someone is related to you in Y way.

The polite thing is then to let them go on with the exchange.

It is not polite to try to drill out the entire family tree. (Unless there has been such a multitude of name drops, in which case it is okay to ask for clarification for each in turn, and an optional "who are they to each other may be warranted just to keep the relationships straight).

In the U.S. this had been totally normal. As it is generally considered that one one is speaking to is the holder of a shared of a shared context. Back in the day, there wasn't a massive infrastructure or mass reproducible mechanism for background verification, and it was up to you to determine and measure whether or not someone else was eorth sharing such details with. It was also polite to decline to furnish such information as irrelevant.

I've noticed with social media, people get in the habit of assuming everyone already does.

Thus killing one of the opportunities for enjoyable small talk. The ritual of the unrolling of family connections. This was aldo a form of shibboleth before facebook and the like, as anyone who knew you through a relative would generally get a higher degree of trust.

This is completely bunk now, or at least far less useful than it once was in the presence of Docial media and OSIntel.
> From the agent's perspective, it's good to drive people to their company's website rather than one of the big aggregate ones

This is strange, wasn't my experience at all. Just about every house I viewed through funda was advertised by agents. And when I put up my house for sale the first thing the agent did was to publish on funda. All the agents care about is selling a house they get a hefty sum (0.3% if I remember correctly) and are totally fine advertising on funda.

As a house seeker I dealt with a bunch of agents and the experience wasn't all that bad to be honest. Mind you all this was in early 2019; from what I hear late 2020 onwards the market has gone bananas in the Netherlands and Amsterdam in particular.
I think it depends on a few factors. The culture where you're searching. The laws. And the economy. And the available services. Where I'm from the law works pretty well, and there's really only one de-facto site that most people use for selling their pad, though Facebook has tried to take over some of the competition. I don't think you can get away from the stress of viewings, but IMHO it sounds like it's a lot more difficult to search where you're situated.
I thought about this a bit last night and did some research. I think with the evolved compose file format, this is more doable (though still with routing downtime until I do some extra work). I've filed a ticket for this here: https://github.com/dokku/dokku/issues/5102
The CPU can do this at runtime and will likely do a much better job than the compiler.
well, not really. you load the data and pass it to the GPU. There's no real work to do on the CPU. I'm not saying it's trivial to write a viewer but to doesn't require performant code.

I've written a GLTF viewer in JavaScript. You parse the JSON, pass the data to the GPU, apply shaders. It requires knowledge of how to render 3D and PBR but it's a day or 2 project to get working if you know the topic and no part of it requires any perf.
It seems difficult to argue that mothers should totally change what they’re doing (away from the thing they had believed was right) and to achieve this they would likely need to be convinced that the new way is better. But I think this is also missing the point because if people are struggling to get food too they likely won’t produce much milk.
It's not like rich Americans are above paying for servants...they just have nicer names for them like "help"

For our initial launch we decided to go with Python and Java. For the time being for other backend frameworks we figure people can fairly easily spin up a Python microservice. We are listening to the requests for other SDKs so thanks for mentioning it.
This is unfortunately a ‘contagious’ preference. My kid never complained about bread crust or vegetables until she started school, where she was exposed to other kids with picky preferences.
Yes, the shortcomings of the html video tag are quite unfortunate. Just some very small improvements would make it a lot more useful. One other issue I found at the time I was looking at it (not sure if it's still the case) was that stepping one frame forward wasn't any faster than seeking from a random location. Seemed like the video was decoded from the last keyframe every time, making it inefficient to iterate through the frames.

Democracy on paper is not democracy in practice, just like China isn’t a real communist society.

The grandparent’s point was that Russia is technically a democracy and look how it’s doing. If there’s enough corruption is it really still a democracy? And if it isn’t, why does it matter if India is a paper democracy or not when considering whether it needs our support.
So we have a suit over two things that sound different because they sound similar? Hmm.
I agree with this assessment, especially because `zphd` was added at the same time as those bytes.
Well, it seems to be in line with the general absurdity of naming conventions in anglophone computer science, since SWE is one of the few subfields of CS that actually uses the scientific method. However, I'm not sure where you are going with your tangent on engineering; in my mind, engineering mostly differentiates itself from the other types of academic research in the kind of question it asks: "How do we [build this]?" in contrast to "How do we [prove this]?" or "How to we [establish evidence in one direction or the other]?"
Interestingly, it was not present in the initial release. It was added here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-bootrom/commit/ad55537bf...
If you asked the Russians they’d probably also tell you they don’t support the violence.

Yep. I didn't realize so much has changed with the rest of the site There was a bit of slowdown I presume in mid-2010s where the table felt a tad behind schedule. I did think of personally writing you an email to help in updating if necessary. In fact, I secretly wanted to just mirror your publication page - but stealing someone's thunder wasn't my ballgame :)

Rule of law is largely orthogonal to democracy. England had rule of law long before it was a democracy.
If they don't support it, they have had plenty of opportunities to voice against it. But they have abstained. It is really disappointing.

I played Assassin Creed Origin (ACO) few years ago, the 1st AC game I felt really immersed in. I played the AC1 back in the early 2000s but it didn't click for me. ACO is different: totally open world. You could climb anywhere, even to the top of the pyramid of Giza during its glorious time with the golden top. You can climb to the light-house on top of the library of Alexandria. The sceneries are majestic. I feel like I travel back in time and live in the era.

At the end of the game, you have an option to "explore and learn". In this mode, there would be no fighting and you are given a guided tour through ancient Egypt. This is truly the most fascinating moment in my gaming life. The other one would be wandering aimlessly in Microsoft Encatar exploring mode.

I couldn't wait to experience all this again in a truly HD VR world. Maybe some day!
really? the proletariat? and your search engines decisipn to lower the ranking of dissenting views on Ukraine? and facebook decision to allow hate speech abput russians ("oh no.. we are not der sturmer.. you see, it is only about the military.. oh, in some states.." when it is all over your american controlled internet, and concerns all russians).

Wow those alternating white and black vertical stripes. Imagine that on a real CRT. This is why people had to start studying eye strain.
I don't get it. How do you fingerprint iPhones, which are some of the most standard devices on the planet? With Android I can think of atleast 20 parameters that will have unique enough combinations to identify specific devices fairly accurately, but iPhones are vastly less "unique" in this sense.
A bit earlier than that, actually:

[In 1917] the government spearheaded great changes in people’s lives, starting with housing. The Soviets nationalized private property and started the so-called “уплотнение” (housing compaction), giving rooms to working-class families in large central apartments that used to belong to [previous owners]. Note that renters were “compacted” too. This project officially laid the groundwork for the often bizarre kommunalka housing - a resilient symbol of the Soviet past.
https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/331621-lenin-putin-soviet-rus...

So you are having problems looking for a 2bd apartment for a family of 3? What about one room in an apartment with a bath shared by 4 other families?

Sure, as long as we also get rid of all urban growth boundaries. Be careful what you wish for, a free market city won't look like what you think it will.
This isn't strictly true. Historically many do, but increasingly many don't. It's been changing. Whether you pay for your own representation is also an entirely separate question.

As someone else in this thread noted, the landlord often hires an agent because they don't want to deal with the tidal wave of crap that comes from dealing with applicants. That person gets paid, obviously, and the landlord isn't the one paying them. That's the rate you're talking about here. These people are not incentivized to provide good service to the renter, and typically don't. They suck.

Higher-end buildings often have in-house agents (again: you're paying for this, whether you realize it or not), and these are called "no fee" buildings. But an increasing number of places don't have either, and just provide access to professional renter's agents instead of listing publicly. Or they do list publicly, and barely respond to the tidal wave of yahoos, knowing that motivated renters hire an agent. YMMV.
And don't Germans traditionally prefer renting over owning? Or so I've heard (but I'm not German).
It's wild how often people defend middle management.
Not to mention ending militarism.
