> Due to some obscure legalities, Taiwan dropping the claim would amount to declaration of war

Your wording is a bit vague, but it sounds like you have it backwards. Taiwan's dropping of claims to the mainland may trigger a _Chinese_ declaration of war. That comes from certain interpretations of article 8 of the China's Anti-Secession law. Of course China doesn't actually have to declare war in this situation if they don't want to. They could always interpret it differently or they could simply ignore it (China's laws guarantee free speech after all and they certainly don't seem to have trouble getting around that).

That's not "accepting payment with bitcoin" - it's just a link for coinbase to convert your bitcoin to USD before booking. Look at the T&Cs, it's a USD booking underneath

Accepting payment with bitcoin means using bitcoin as the currency in the PNR, just like you can use euros or yen or pounds or whatever
The majority of miner revenue is a subsidy given via inflation. It's effectively paid for by all bitcoin holders, and is decoupled from usage and fees.

So you must feel then that tech workers at a company that doesn’t show a profit for many years or operates in the red during their start up phase should payback a portion of the the salary they collected during the time they were not profitable when they become profitable? Those tech workers would have never have received a wage were it not for the investors taking a risk and providing the patience to the reward. The tech worker who drew a salary during that time took zero risk and totally exploited the investor.

Spoken like someone who welcomes the help.

Propaganda is real, it does work, and it is a problem. I struggle to explain why anyone would brush it off, other than it happens to align with their own goals. An electorate that is perpetually thinking and voting with activated amygdalas is not a good thing.
It really is a game changer. Even just putting it in the fridge prolongs its shelf life. Just make sure to keep the bag sealed with a twist tie, to keep the bread from drying out. I also save the heels until last, as well. They make good end caps while you're finishing the rest of the loaf.

Well market forces for half loaves can leave them with an oversupply, and it's a quickly deteriorating product, and a sale speeds up getting rid of that inventory. The only alternative is to perfectly predict the future.
I think that the best way for Coinbase to combat this is to make as much information public as possible in as close to real time. For example they have a listings website - make every application public in real time. If there are meetings about which asset to add then make the meeting public or the minutes immediately after the meeting. The only way this can be exploited is because there was some lag time between assets that were considered to be listed and the actual announcement.

It doesn't help that they have employed some highly unethical actors in the past and completely failed to do their due diligence. For example when they employed people that were involved in selling hacking tools to nation states that were used in human rights abuses.

Still, count yourself lucky. In the US, they stopped selling them, opting to push people toward the HR-V instead. I'm not much of a car guy, but I have a Fit which I bought used for under $10k cash, low mileage, etc. The HR-V is significantly more expensive and doesn't offer anything I particularly need for the added cost, so if I were to replace my current Fit, I wouldn't be likely to buy an HR-V.

As hard as the ukraine guys/gals are, they initially lacked the readiness for a big war you can find now in Finland and Sweden right now. So the Z guys could find an even harder welcome party, if they care to step in through their borders.

You know these guys have been regularly waging wars since before the stone age, they quite know how to fight wars. Even new kinds as this one ongoing.

Do you have evidence that Coinbase doesn't provide liquidity for it's tokens? It's a pretty safe assumption.

But even those numbers cannot be compared since RT audience score and critic scores are calculated completely differently. Also if you read some of the negative audience reviews many of them are clearly written after the final movie of the trilogy has been released and are judging this movie in the negative light of that whole experience.

Now it may very well be that GP's statement is wrong, but the numbers you are quoting can't really be used as evidence either way.
Which formatting is missing? It features proper punctuation and grammar, making it akin to reading an essay with large blocks of text. This is how a book reads as well, or an e-reader, or Usenet or IRC.

What it misses is limit of 80 characters per line which makes it rough to read in terminal as well as portrait mode on smartphone. And it does not adapt to portrait mode on smartphone, indicating the website is not responsive.

Still, it also misses a lot of distracting BS an average website contains.
It pipes a list of available git branches into fzf, which lets you filter them by fuzzy string match. When you hit enter, it will take the best matching one and switch to that branch

To me, and many others active somewhere on the "regulated finance" spectrum, the way crypto kept going on and on how awesome "deregulation" is from a consumer standpoint was tragically ironic. The vast majority of regulation is there to protect market participants.
It would (in CCP thinking) remove a major US ally from proxomity to PRC homeland, give PRC greater territorial and economic zones in the sea, give freedom of action to the PRC navy, and of course vindicate CCP legitimacy. Only problem is - wars are easy to start but hard to control or stop, and never go the way you wanted them to.

That, as well as elderly people who already had trouble on regular bikes (see: myself, though not quite that old having an injured leg tires me out quickly in stop-and-go traffic) now being able to go much longer distances and so they are in traffic longer than they otherwise would be due to much larger endurance.

One lady I know who is in her 80's who had all but given up cycling now has an e-bike and she makes day trips that impress me (80 km, no problem). She's already fallen once and won't take the hint that she isn't really safe on the road at any speed.

Banned open source? As in open source dependencies? Or just releasing anything as open source?

Open source is as capitalist as it gets for the most part IMO. Public Github = company flexing or CV. Either way….
As someone who extensively works in crypto (www.fractional.finance) and building web3 technologies - the vast majority of projects are scams, or scams that are trying to fake themselves into legitimacy. Most NFT projects fall into the category of MLMs or have other mechanisms to massively reward early adopters to grow network effects.

Not all projects are like that, and many have actual real practical uses; public DLT and ZK Proofs are absolutely massive. Some teams and organizations are actually using them properly, they're just still building.

HN: Give the market 4 months, if you still think "all of crypto is a scam" then either everyone failed; or you were pretty set in your ways anyways :)
I had looked at a Honda Element it was meant to be a utility vehicle of sorts meaning you could get it dirty and clean it easily.

The floors as I recall were tough, rough, bumpy plastic very thick. It was obvious the intention of the vehicle with a flat rear floor in the rear of the vehicle was meant to be used to carry things not just people.

It's like a competition for which alternative programming paradigm is a hill most worth dying on: functional, concatenative, or object oriented. There seem like a few runner-ups: contract based, quantum, APL (not sure what paradigm to call it?), I'd like to think of some others. It's kind of a fun exercise.

The majority of programmers seem to prefer procedural.
I understand it as analysis going other way. They dont try to trace everyone who tweets about the music guessing their motivations. Instead, they look at known Russia troll accounts and look at what they tweet. Then they look at differences between accounts targeted at left and those on the right.

So, your question is orthogonal - it is impossible to answer.
Well, it didn't have applications when it came out. You're retrofitting history with your argument, instead of keeping your argument to history.

The iPhone was terrible at everything when it came out except capacitive touch and coolness. That's fine, but let's not pretend otherwise.

Terming "people wanting to buy something better/cool" as latent demand is silly. It's a new/cool thing. There's no need to pretend there's anything latent about it. Make new shiny; people buy new shiny. And that's just for Apple. Most products require massive amounts of marketing to explain to people why they should be bought. That wouldn't be needed in a world with latent demand, just waiting to be fulfilled.

Exactly right. Due to the missing psycoacoustic model, Shine can't really compress well. Don't even bother with bitrates lower than 128kbps if you want your audio to sound decent. But exactly due to the lack of the psycoacoustic model, its very light on cpu and memory, and perfect for the specific embedded use cases where encoded bitrate is not a concern.
Another factor is simply the novelty of it, people that have an e-bike need to get used to their new bike and with the dutch anti-helmet culture they don't adjust because to them it is 'just a bike' which they probably have been on since right after they learned how to walk.

This will take some time, I suspect that at some point we will see a helmet mandatory for e-bikes, which I would definitely be a big supporter of.
Tips on Writing a Philosophy Paper (2012) [pdf]
You must be joking, that was a long thread of nothing.

At the end of the day, Xi wants to achieve the goal of invading Taiwan and destorying the remains of the ROC. It's plain and simple. There is very little benefit to taking Taiwan, there's no valid claims to Taiwan. The majority of the people here don't identify as being part of China and don't want to be part of China.
I agree with the importance of the memory layout of data structures, but I read the original article a bit differently from you and the person you are replying to.

A common approach to programming is to model the problem, almost to anthropomorphize the components of a system. In this style of programming, the organization of data structures isn't about how to lay out bytes in memory, but about a role needed in the resolution of a problem. I almost think of it as having a bunch of little actors that we want to arrange in a certain way in a scene, shout `.action()`, and have the work be done.

This is a style of programming that I was really into just a few years ago, but when I compared myself to other programmers that I really looked up too, I realized that they didn't engage in this type of programming theater. Their code _did_ have types, but it was to group data together, not to tell a story; it was very concrete and practical. And time and time again they produced better programs than I did, often in less time than me, and they avoided questions that would plague me for days (e.g., whose responsibility is it to do X?)

So what I understood from the article is to avoid creating types upon types upon types to model the conceptual problem, and rather write code (which certainly includes data structures) that handles the data of the problem.
Depends on the sausage I guess, and on the defrosting process. Personally, I don't like to freeze any meat - chances are that it had been frozen already, and refreezing it will ruin it.

My mom freezes everything to save money, and there is an element of emancipation for me to be able to not do that, but generally speaking I just find it a destructive practice from a flavour perspective.

If you use almost any goods or services almost anywhere in the world, you at least indirectly benefit from or use the global banking system, as it is the de facto (and probably quite often de jure) system for payments. There are no alternatives that are as good as it, on pretty much any axis. This includes all crypto.

I'm not trying to unfairly critique your personal choices, but that's just the reality. Just like how you basically can't possibly survive in a city without participating somehow in the global capitalist market economy, you can't claim to personally not partake in the global banking system. It's everywhere, and you might personally take issue with it and of course can critique it, but you can't claim to not partake or even partly benefit.

Makes me think of Plan 9 and its almost religious use of the 9P protocol to control what resources are available to a process. Or perhaps the Erlang VM with communication via messages.

>Crypto fans get mad when deregulated finance is comically unfair.

I’m curious as to where you’ve seen this sentiment from crypto fans? It seems most of the people getting angry about this are people who already disliked crypto and are using this event to add more fuel to the flames.
That isn't the scenario. Also it's not true; people don't buy things they don't want, even if they're below cost, unless they want to sell them for more. That's not wanting the product; just the profit.

I agree that most tokens are scammy trash, especially when advertised, but acknowledge that some will stand the test of time.

I don't think I'll ever hook up a wallet to my smartphone in order to use tap-to-pay in some hypothetical future, but I really do believe that crypto can be great at hopping traditional regulatory fences.

If I come across some desirable service offered on the web by a guy in Namibia, they're much more likely to get money from me if they accept something that I can easily acquire and send. I don't even know what Namibia's currency is, but they can list a price in BTC/ETH/DOGE and I can easily make my own judgements on whether it's worth it for me.

Whoops, good catch. Or rather how could I have missed that!
Thank you for your perspective. A lot of the problems (and technologies to address them) you talk about are actively being worked on by the way, so it's not all doom and gloom!
I'm glad you understand what I'm trying to say, even if "speculation" isn't quite the right term for it.

I think scams are an obvious harm, but the highly financialised and speculative nature of crypto is a more subtle harm: most investment produces positive material side effects like products or services, but because the main selling point of crypto is to continually pass it around in a circle, a lot of money, time, and expertise is wasted on something that is completely unproductive. To be fair, I think this criticism mostly applies to Wall Street too, but most people no longer try to argue that Wall Street is a source of meaningful innovation. To say nothing of the proof of work model leading to ever increasing energy consumption during climate change.

I just don't see much real upside to the crypto industry, and quite a lot of downside.

Nice list of new tools to take a look at. However I think there's just one big drawback: as you move around different systems is very unlikely that you have those (you might even not have permission to touch those systems) so you will have to rely on the standard existing tools (even among different OSes you have slightly different implementations). That's why I lately I've investing more time reading man pages of some tools, maybe I'm missing an already existing cool feature. You can learn a ton of things from man pages, and if you follow the "SEE ALSO" section you might even learn some new commands.
