Are you saying the fork was a bad thing? Or are you critiquing crypto people for not living up to their values?

For both points, I'd like to mention that there is no universal value set or profile.
I had a friend who was creating a cardboard miniature of a museum exhibit he was designing and he wanted to take photos of it "on the ground floor" to give a pre-visualization of what it would look like. So he pulled out his DSLR and was woefully disappointed that all his photos came out looking like photos of miniatures, even if he got really close in.

I told him to switch to his smartphone. He'd be able to get in closer. The scale of the lens more closely matched the scale of the scene, so the relative angles between foreground and background objects would more closely match our expectations of being a full-sized scene. It came out great. Yes, we had to dump light on the thing to get the images to not be grainy. But the images had more of an "on the ground" feel.

Because of that (and my own experiences with smartphone photography), I feel like these images all fail to use the hardware effectively to do something unique.

Some others have talked about the differences in lenses and sensor sizes and all that, that makes high-quality smartphone photography so much harder than SLR photography. Yes, that is true, for the sorts of images that you would take with an SLR. But that's not the only kind of images you can take.

The popularity of the SLR is both its biggest advantage and its biggest curse. It's advantageous because there are TONS of accessories and guides and examples, etc. ad nauseum. It's a curse because it sucks all the air out of the room in regards to other types of cameras. There are so many, many different types of cameras, and they all make unique shots that you really can't replicate with the other types of cameras.

Few people have really explored what that means for smartphone cameras. It's clear that it would need to be used in ways that are unique to the device. Not just "it's the best camera you have with you, because your other camera is too heavy to always have on you." But stuff like, "because the lens is so tiny, we can squeeze shots out of tiny holes that would block a normal SLR". Stuff like, "this camera is a Star Trek tricorder connected to a global information network." I rarely ever see that.
So a “poor” but highly knowledgeable financial planner making “only” $180k a year can’t invest in their friend’s startup because the regulators deem it too risky. But some random dentist can?

Do they though? Are you certain these are the same people or are you just lumping them all together as crypto fans because it allows you to shit on then? Crypto fans aren't all the same, it's a bit like saying all HN users hate crypto. They dont, it's a crass generalisation used to score some useless internet points.
Hikaru is an amazing showman, he's gotten a ton of people interested in chess over the last two years. This is my favorite video from his stream in which he premoves an entire game.[0] It's edited, he didn't actually do this against Magnus, but the video is absolutely hilarious anyways, especially for how Hikaru acts while it plays out.

Just a meta-comment, but your reply was really good until the last sentence.

> Sounds like you need some more research into macrophotography

That undermined your otherwise very factual rebuttal/clarification because it seems like at best an impossible standard (everybody could always use more research into anything), and at worst a "you don't know as much as me" veiled in professionalism/passive aggressiveness. The interpretation is up to the reader (some of whom will be charitable in their interpretation, others will not).

To be clear I'm not accusing you of "the worst" (I have no idea what was in your heart/mind and I don't presume to guess), I'm executing on a personal goal to try and help elevate conversations through useful/constructive feedback. Also I'm not presuming that this comment/feedback is useful or constructive as it may not be, but I hope that it is because that's my goal.
Ah, correct. The slashed variant would mean unordered, while the original character means ordered.
> This is very not true. Buying and selling anything has very clear tax implications.

I was saying that crypto users willing to consider tax and more complex tax is just getting off the ground, not that the law itself ever ignored them

I think the rest of my post makes that clear

> People in A) move slightly towards the center year over year as reality catches up to them (the reality that tax always applied)

but I can see how it doesn't, especially if you are expecting a crypto tax / regulation protestor
Not quite sure what the "dog whistle" was that you're referring to...please explain that!

The statistics show significantly lower marriage rates among black families (moreso correlated to poor families, in which black folks over-represent). The thing not shown in the statistics is the number of families where parents are together, but unmarried (and oftentimes reporting different addresses) because they get SIGNIFICANTLY more benefits that way. So...the family unit is there, but just not formalized. And people are just responding to the incentives in front of them.

As a developer who has experience with MFC, WinForm and WPF, I should say WPF is very well designed. And it is the first time I learn the concept of MVVM. Which helped a lot when I start to learn Angular.

But for now, if I want to develop something with UI, I prefer to use ASP.NET Core with web application. Even though I hate Electron, I don't want to put any investment on Microsoft's UI framework. I already know too many dead Microsoft UI frameworks, I don't need another one.
Most of the responses here are just sort of saying "no you're just old," but I wanna buck that and point to some actual differences between now and whenever you're marking the last stage of culture as.

Media consolidation we've evolved into is nuts. Disney has turned American national culture into a creamy smoothie, Sinclair and Clear Channel have made radio and television across municipalities into photocopied and rubber-stamped content, and the Internet killed local newspapers.

We used to have a monolithic mainstream culture and a handful of subcultures. There is still a mainstream, but the subcultures have proliferated, and now are so niche and rapidly evolving that they're difficult to even track as real. Meanwhile, Sunday night football and Simpsons reruns keep chugging along unchanged for decades.

Although it was the cultural left that warned against media consolidation, we basically have the Telecommunications Deregulation Act of 1994 to blame for a lot of this. So, thanks Bill.

This is unfortunate. However, in my experience of crypto fans it seems like a large - probably very large - majority of them are fans of deregulation and consider this one of the main positive points of crypto. Would you say that's incorrect?

Very true that this just obscures the issue with processing personal data. That of course happens already on large scales for years.
> trying to accumulate any amount money. They're better off spending it as soon as possible.

It sounds like you're suggesting people should spend it as soon as possible on depreciating things.

That being said in an inflationary environment assets will retain most or all of their base price. So you don't have to buy things that are a waste. You just have to buy assets.
When I first got involved with text classification (early 00's) k-NN was one of the best performing algorithms. It's still pretty good.
You might want to try par-baking and freezing, instead of just freezing the cooked loaves. At the peak of my sourdough-ratholing last year, I scaled up my recipe size so that I was making four loaves (batards weighing in at around 650-700 grams), and then par-baking and freezing three of them for use over the next week or two.

My method:

1. Do whatever it is that you do before baking a loaf of bread

2. Bake the loaf for around 2/3rds the target time. In my case, this is about a half hour. I bake these loaves at 200°C, on a baking stone and covered with a huge aluminum salad bowl to sorta emulate a steam oven. At the end of the half hour, the crust is still white due to the bowl, and just starting to go brown on the tips of whatever cuts I added.

3. Take the loaf out and let it cool for a couple hours

4. Seal it in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer

5. Proceed with life for a time

6. When in need of more bread, take a par-baked loaf out of the freezer and put it on the counter, and pre-heat the oven to 200°C

7. Once pre-heated (~20 mins later, let's say), put the still-frozen loaf (sans plastic!!) into the oven uncovered, and cook for another 15 mins

8. Take it out to let it cool and enjoy

IMO a par-baked and then frozen loaf is noticeably better than a single-baked loaf, at least when using a home oven. I speculate that this is because a home oven needs a longer total baking time than a (hotter, steam-injected) commercial oven to fully bake + get the right crust, and that extra time turns into a drier crumb. But I further speculate that the par-bake-and-freeze technique preserves the crumb, since the crumb is really pretty much done by the time the 30-min par-bake is over, and the crumb ends up spending a good chunk of the 15-min finishing bake just de-thawing rather than drying out.
I think there may be confusion in language here. At no point am I asking about doing something that would reduce type safety.

Supposing I have a function that takes [A any] and returns [A any]. As I use the function, it is not returning type "any" aka "interface{}", aka pointer to unspecified type (which has always been possible in Go). It's returning type A, which is specified at compile time, where A can be any type, but has to be the same type passed into the function.

Supposing I have a function that takes [B io.Reader] and returns [B io.Reader]. Again, it doesn't return io.Reader, which again was always possible. Returning type io.Reader would be returning a pointer to unspecified type that implements the io.Reader interface. That sounds like what you thought I was saying. What I'm actually talking about is returning type B, specified at compile time, where B is restricted to types that implement io.Reader, and is also the same type passed into the function.

In both cases, you're making a function that takes a type and returns the same type. In the second case, that type can only be one that implements the io.Reader interface.

There are a few more reasons that I don't have time to delve into right now. But the main practical reason is that government assistance for daycare is very income dependent, so government paying directly to the daycare would require giving them parental income information, which is a big privacy no-no.

At least one of them (fd) was designed specifically to be simpler to use than its UNIX counterpart (find). And others though as simple to use (ripgrep, scc) they're much more performant than the tools they replace (ack, cloc).
In theory, the Dutch pension system is ALSO backed by the stock market, which is why they will cut down on payments if the stock market isn't doing very well (according to their own calculations). The more I hear about things like that, the more I'm inclined to just handle my own pension fund. But that's where things get tricky, because an employer's pension contributions are tax-free, if they were to be paid out, income tax would be charged on it.
Except the previous example relies on Rust and the shell, while yours relies on Angular/Electron.

>Is it that hard to accept that other people have different ideas for what being social means? Does everyone have to be like you or you judge them negatively?

I think this is the wrong question - it isn't about being different, its about not even having a customer to empathize with. I can't empathize with a product, no.

As for users, you can be so unfamiliar with a demographic that you have no conception how to help them. I haven't touched facebook seriously in over 10 years (probably close to 12 now), in the world of manufactured FB problems I wouldn't have the foggiest to start.

Now, ignoring the fact FB is absolutely not in the business of helping their users, the question becomes, can or should I become enough like something I see no value in?

I think the answer is probably "no" - if people are busy walking themselves off of cliffs, I have no moral or ethical obligation to help them walk off cliffs, and I really don't have any obligation to walk myself off of one.
It's true. AirBnB and Uber/Lyft exist almost entirely as tools to weaponize regulatory loopholes. True of a lot of analytics tools as well.
Ironically, this is one of the reasons I like the idea of UBI - you can't defraud the government when they're giving money to everyone. Most of the budget required to detect and enforce fraud vanishes. Secondary effects (and their costs), such as the one presented in this story, go away.

It's not that simple, I know. But spending so much on bureaucratic red tape and fraud prevention is something that feels really silly with our current systems.

Equating public financial statements with "transparency" is a fallacy. It creates moral hazard and over-emphasizes private audit facilities.

Is it objectively better than non-public financial statements? Maybe. Is it worth saying this alone should draw the line on what is considered a "safe" investment? No.

Again, the OP is asking about access, not what you believe about "transparent investments"
> I think this is true, but beside the point.

I think you missed my point. To reiterate: the fact that people believe that it's not true is, ironically, a convincing justification for the accredited investor rule.

I'm pointing out the irony, not defending the rule per se.

> If you want to have an even playing field for investing, every barrier is an obstacle.

This clearly isn't true.

First, it's sort of prime facie false. Investments usually happen in markets. Markets are human inventions comprised of collections of barriers on behavior and enforcement mechanisms for those barriers. (Investments that happen outside of markets do exist, but they usually involve violence and/or coercion under threat of violence, so probably not what you mean when you say investment.)

Second, there are many ready examples. E.g., SEC filings and public exchanges are clear barriers to entry in fund raising, but also clearly level the playing field. The alternative is that the only way to know about a company's finances is to know the right people.
I've seen it used for contradiction. Though that's not the same thing as 'not' and I can't think of why you'd combine this with orthogonality.

Don’t understand the hostile tone. Are you on some moral crusade that you forgot to announce?

When your neighbor’s Russia, China or the US what one wants is perhaps less important than what the superpower next door wants. Ukraine and the EU knew this and wouldn’t have tried anything on their own unless the US wouldn’t have offered guarantees. Except unfortunately for Ukraine nobody can guarantee that Russia won’t bomb them to bits and whatever happens they’ll continue to have an angry neighbor with thousands of nuclear weapons on their doorstep.

There is no such right to annex neighbors, that idea is silly. Superpowers do whatever they can get away with and Russia can certainly invade Ukraine, even if the outcome remains to be seen - could be anything from loss of territory to global destruction.

The EU threatened things, but there was lots of disagreement internally and there’s still disagreement around for example energy imports.
It makes a difference, but it’s no secret that the EU expected Ukraine to quickly fall and afterwards it would have been sanctions as usual.

It's basically thr successor to Xamarin Forms - the same technology and concepts updated to .net 6 instead of Mono.

It's still Xaml, still MVVM, still an abstraction on top of native components.

It's only really different in they're supporting more platforms, updating to more modern .net (.net's IServiceProvider instead of Xamarin's DependencyService for DI), and there's some improvements to how the platform specific UI control adapters can be extended.

As for whether it's better? The tooling is greatly improved and it eases some of the pain when writing "renderers". We were finding occasional bugs up until recently, and migrating is somewhat involved as you lose a lot of the old Xamarin package ecosystem.

You know what's really impressive, that just got out? Adobe's Premiere Pro Auto Color feature based on Adobe Sensei. Ask a colorist or a filmmaker how it works for them. Is that something that was possible because of fringe research like Dall•E? Honestly, no.
The real problem is everyone wants to rely on the current working population, especially the middle class, despite it being evident the middle class is doing progressively worse. You don't need to pump the population numbers year after year if retirees can accept they'll be a little worse off relative to the younger generation compared to their ancestors, for example. Instead, many retirees expect the younger generations to carry the full burden and figure it out on their own.

Add to that several other problems in NL in particular, and you have a recipe for disaster. One of the main reasons people with a median income have huge trouble finding a decent place to live.
