> I mean, you still can bring it to court, have the judge decide in your favor, but the chain is immutable and neither you or the court officials can do anything to revert that. So you'll end-up with a token that does not represent the reality - and that's why standard, traditional certificates exist and are trusted: they represent the rule of the law, something an immutable decentralized chain can't do.

Unless the token is being used to control some kind of elaborate--and likely magical--boobytrap (to enforce that the owner of the token is the only person who can even step foot on the property), the government would just say that old token was no longer authoritative and that some new token is... which is no different from how a standard title or deed also can't be blindly trusted (as it may have been revoked by the government). And yet, forging your sheets of paper or invalid transfer signatures on the real sheet of paper (how classic titles and deeds work, as in when I signed over ownership of a car once) is way easier than forging this blockchain record, and so this actually still provides a ton of benefit by avoiding cases that might have to go to court in the first place.
What was wild to me is learning that serial communication is almost always faster than parallel communication.

Turns out, synchronizing arriving signals is hard.
> having a git aware PS1 would also immediately alert you to the fact that a user had created a top level .git folder,

And to the fact that someone other than me had write access to my disk, in which case git is probably the least of my worries.
This is super awesome; pleasantly surprised to see this is relevant for my home town :-D

Also, funnily this is how they are sourcing the data. Ingenious!!

"The search is only available in select big cities in India because it uses Dunzo as the data source. No affiliation with Dunzo.

The API used to call Dunzo is open but undocumented. So if someone from Dunzo is reading this, don't be sending take-down notices. This is a very niche and tiny thing and is unlikely to put any strain on your servers."
Early in my career, I spent an extraordinary amount of time as a co-op in a factory running around backing up logs and various other items using LapLink. If we ignore the manual labor part of it, it was a fairly decent system for weekly cold backups (our warm back-up solution was network based).
This is crypto’s second largest use case, behind as a means for illegal activities. Crypto is easier to send in extreme situations than fiat currencies.
Algorithms calculating the probability of some event of a person will always be discriminatory, because the probability depends on which groups you belong to.

The problem is that algorithms are an easy way to hide behind. Think of an algorithm to check wether to do a police check for a person. Statistically black people are more likely to commit crimes. The police could easily hide behind an algorithm and say that they are not doing checks only on black people but only on persons flagged by the algorithm.

The problem with that is that most people are not criminal, but will be discriminated just because of which group they belong to.
I agree, It's not hard to reach 25km/h and beyond on a normal bike, but to do so you have to elevate your heart rate and enter a state of increased alertness.

I think the key problem with e-bikes isn't the speed, but that you're able to reach dangerous speeds while barely paying attention to your surroundings.
This. It's like small withdrawals/deposits into a savings account. Take out $1 at a time a whole bunch of times without topping it up and the account winds up empty, even if there weren't any massive withdrawals.
I'm really confused about why you think this would even be a valid criticism. If I asked you to draw clothing, do you calculate cloth dynamics? No. You would immediately look for either a real life or image example, then you would draw using that as inspiration.

Even if DALL-E was copying certain segments of an identically in order to compose new images, it is a huge advance. On top of that, much work has been done on GANs and other generative algorithms to investigate how similar output images are to training images.
"Is this hill worth dieing on?" is a question I occasionally ask myself.

Other ways to put it:
"Would taking 10 seconds to do this now make my wife 1% less stressed?" (If so, do the thing to make her less stressed.)

"Is it worth starting a fight vs spending the same time just fixing the problem?"

"Would spending $COST_OF_THING make my wife happy for a day / make a fond memory of us together?" (Hence why I encourage my thrifty wife to spend a bit of money on semiprecious jewelry or clothes for herself that she enjoys)

"If I cheap out on $COMMMONLY_USED_ITEM, will my wife and I be annoyed by its limitations / bad user experience for years?"

Granted, I am fortunate to be able to pay the bills and have a little extra for the occasional splurge for my wife. And my wife is kind and understanding and I love her dearly. But I learned long ago that doing a little bit extra / spending a bit more for a quality item pays dividends in reducing friction and annoyances daily.

Those daily annoyances add up over time, and not in a good way. Make yourself aware of them, and then fix them. Cut down on stressors so you can spend more mental bandwidth on your wife and kids.
What are you talking about? Read some history prior to the 4 years of the SEC.

Look at the suggested reforms the SEC was supposed to undertake AS IDENTIFIED BY CONGRESS. Then look at what actual reforms where implemented.

I'll help you out - almost none. The SEC has had a monopoly on financial market regulation since the 1930s and is just now becoming a victim to the cultural side affects of this monopoly. Shit, I actually think the SEC has done a phenomenal job regarding this and all other aspects of their job.
I get the feeling that iOS runs photos through a neural net filter by default. It would be nice to know exactly what is behind any given shot, both my personal images and those of a collection/competition like this. Thus armed with knowledge, only then can we truly judge for ourselves.
#ifdef NOFLAME

Curiously most of those tools implement things Emacs have since decades. Obligatory #define NOFLAME, I was and to a certain extent a unix guy but after having jumped the ship to Emacs I start seeing in practice many aspects of unix inferiority respect of classic systems, far beyond the Unix Haters Handbook.

File renaming? Dired do that and more than many modern tools, not only in mere editing (wdired-mode) but also in selecting what to edit (marking via regexp, narrowing, manually select files "killing" others etc) in a far more flexible than an unix CLI tool piped to an editor, results are the same of course, easiness it's at another level.

Narrowing/Fuzzy searching? Similarly from Helm to Counsel passing through consult, ido, ...

#endif // NOFLAME

Anyway I still use CLI daily simply because much inhabited to it and for certain things it's quick, and I use some of those tools but the interesting part is not much the tool (dangerously aliased sometimes to overwrite original ones because who remember their name?) but the trend: in the last decade I see a kind of resurgent interest in unix and FLOSS, many that in the past have said "ah, yes, nix are powerful but I need to work no time to learn, ..." in the last decades have started much using GNU/Linux even inside Windows and more and more are accustomed to nix model. Emacs itself seems to have seen a sort of resurgent popularity and that's make me think: did we need so much time to learn?

I mean, we have had the IT revolution from Xerox. Just very few have understood its power and the GAFAM born out of it, starting from the first modern IBM in term of using and ruining Xerox PARC tech to size it's power still giving something to end users. The unix revolution succeed but again for most is a thing of the past and it's successful model is it's failure: they started saying that Xerox desktop model is just too complex and expensive people needs cheap and simpler things, the public agree unix succeed, in just few years they start realizing that no, good iron is needed, GUIs are needed etc and again the big iron era succeed but for a small period of time. PC era wipe it with again cheaper and crappy-er things. PC era succeed and in a moderately short period of time rediscovering of the past desktop model (without knowing it for most) happen, for instance the trend from widgets-based GUIs to document-based ones, the trend toward text-centric works and the recent interest in classic unix witch is actually the most common living vestige of classic model: not really end-user programming, that's Emacs, but at least composability via IPCs in CLI, from IDEs to editors, from DE to WM, perhaps tiling's ones, for some from unix model to Emacs.

Long story short I see a trend that "knowledgeable" people veeeery slowly rediscover classic tech, if that's really a trend and we (society) really need such timeframe to learn... Well... It's a bit sad...

What do you think?
Remember AT power supplies? i wired a power switch backwards once, turned it on, it exploded and started a literal fire in the office at a client. That was nice.
IMHO, borderline click bait, with a truly obnoxious presenter; best viewed at high speed. What he would be better doing is pointing out how the press put an overly positive spin on the paper. Link to the full paper is in the notes.
I don't know what they've done, but eventually it unsticks if you just keep swiping. Then it gets stuck again, then it scrolls again. It's navigable, given sufficient patience and effort.
More concretely, it's true only for real numbers - so -4 ⋚ 7 is true, but 3+2i ⋚ 5 is false.

If you're in the market for a Linux computer, this is a great resource for making sure your hardware is compatible.

If you're already running Linux, this is a super easy way to contribute info about the hardware you have to help others [1]. For many distros it's already in the repos. For example Fedora:

sudo dnf install -y hw-probe

Run the hardware probe/report and store it locally in `/root/HW_PROBE/LATEST/hw.info/` (no upload)

sudo -E hw-probe -all

Run the hardware probe/report and upload it (uses privacy preserving techniques)[2]:

sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload

I don’t know if that story is true, but if it is the lyric still works even if it doesn’t match the songwriter’s intent.
There was a lot of discussion [0] of that point when the Model View Culture article was originally posted 7 years ago.

It's complicated, but the author of the piece seems to take issue with how the character set was designed by the language authorities the UTC delegated to.

The whole comment thread is an interesting read.

Before covid, I used to bake a batch of three baguettes probably 3x/week, bringing them to work to share. I also brought in growlers of homebrew to share after work. People asked me if, on account of being at home the last two years, I'd been doing a lot more of it. In fact, I've baked and brewed significantly less in that time, and I miss both the sharing and the social time that came about because of those things.
Yes, I triple click constantly to keep track of where I am at.

From my perspective, only letting people who are well off enough to 'weather the loss' seems like something that only exacerbates the wealth gap.
For myself the amount of TV and movies I can watch is pretty limited compared to what I could obtain.

Lately I've been into the silents (Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino) but also Howard Hawkes movies not to mention things like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_de_Jour_(film)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Jackson_(1988_film)

feel free to laugh but my son got the family (including my wife who teaches people to ride horses) to watch

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_Pony:_Friendship_Is_...

... and then there are all the Gundam anime since Gundam 79, all the rest of Sliders, at least 200+ hours of video "in the queue".

I think how a few years back I would go see a movie like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_(film)

in the theater. I was talking to my son the other day how we lost interest in Marvel and Star Wars movies... We never had a moment when we said "Marvel Sucks", but they rarely make it into the queue to watch on video. And going to the theater post-COVID seems implausible to me because I don't want to deal with disgusting popcorn mess.

I'm sure there are good movies made today, even more sure there are good TV shows, but they have to fight for every minute of view time they get.
LapLink was a great idea and solved a very real problem: You could not copy large files (anything larger than 1.44MB) around without this, tape, or modem (and when it worked you felt it was finally time to build that Ethernet network).
Not just Carlson.. any of the candidates are capable of beating him … most have higher elo and that elo is well deserved and stupendously hard won at that level. Wesley So beat him in the Grand Prix, he was in trouble once against Esipenko. I don’t think he’ll have as hard of a time against eg Ian Nepomniatchi ( Nepo likes speed which is Hikarus superpower ), But Ding Liren ( depending on Karjakins dq and Lirens play ofc ) Caruana, or Wesley So will beat him easily…
I'm curious why there are so many c -> e substitutions in the text.

It looks old enough that it probably wasn't OCRed and if it were, you'd think a journal would fix the typos.
Its because wikipedia has been taken over by the same types that most other big tech companies have been taken over by. Just look at anything political and you'll realize they have for the most part won the war on information and are dutifully silencing and censoring and disagreeing thoughts or facts.

The website is not as neutral as it was in its heyday, and that reflection comes in this headline alone.

No you’re wrong. Nearly everything made today is crap.

There are different flavors of crap, but still all crap.

You’re just on the side that likes that kind of crap.

Kids today. :)
I find that last line perfectly justified.

OP’s post was incredibly dismissive and incorrect but was written as if it was from an expert.

It’s textbook misinformation as far as I am concerned.

Ideological payment censorship is a known issue with digital payments, and the core so-what of BTC that has been lost in the cryptocurrency sales pitch somewhat. The first block has an anti-'08 bailout message in it for a reason.

These censorship use cases are slowly moving towards more possible mainstream familiarity and empathy, and in my opinion also moving towards impacting progressive activist groups with axes to grind and payment rails dependent on the targets of those activism.

When that eventually comes to a head, as it seems likely, then the real decision point on cryptocurrencies will occur.

Assange gets payments/donations cut off from all the major providers - ok, he's possibly a Russian asset, not a great personality fit for whistleblower empathy, did some shady/bad things, ok who cares.

OnlyFans almost gets its payment rails cut off by investors due to its core content - ok, I may not know camgirls/boys, but I can empathize with them a bit more and certainly don't like Investment Banks and Visa telling folks how to spend their evenings.

Now, taking a look at climate action groups, and wikis that try to leverage free and fair information for a public good. Also, not much has changed since 2008. The predatory financial behaviors still occur, maybe just called something differently - see Canada banning foreign purchases of homes. Depending on which side of the abortion debate you are on, large chunks of the country are moving in divergent directions on it. Unions in tech-y warehouse jobs have serious OPSEC concerns and are shifting over to Signal for coordination.

All of these causes and related groups rely on digital rails for payments, information sharing, and organization (Slack groups, Paypal accounts, GSuite free-ish emails, Signal groups etc). There is already a trend of building OPSEC programs for activist-y groups, and leveraging data science/FOIA for activist research. The McDonald's CEO was nabbed for this via a ~FOIA against the Chicago mayor. All of these causes' desired outcomes fundamentally oppose core tenants of corporate infrastructure, pending some major change. Climate activism especially comes to mind.

When the real conversations and possible anger actually start occurring in these groups, andthe real reactions from their counter-parties start occurring in public, and the fights over what gets into a wikipedia article occur in conjunction more so than already, a censorship-free payment rail comes into play. That means paper cash, cryptocurrency, or maybe some new tech. But I doubt Zelle or Venmo are safe at that point. I think the real so-what debate about crypto starts at that point.
Prosper.com and similar lending platforms do not require a lot of capital but users are required to be accredited investors.
If this couple went to a marriage counselor, the counselor is not going to say "You're going to lose your marriage because you continue to leave dishes by the sink". Instead, (s)he will say "You're going to lose your marriage because of poor communication - she can't communicate what is bothering her, and he doesn't have the communication skills to make it easy for her to communicate it."

If you've read pretty much any book on communications (not limited to relationships), they'll have an example similar to this. And they never suggest "compromise" as a solution (at least not until you break through the communication problem).

This is literally a "textbook" communication problem.
Heh, I told my wife today that our first big fight was because she couldn't for two years throw away lemons instead of leaving them on the counter to collect fruit flies. As with the glass, it wasn't about the lemons, but something deeper. What that is, is really dependant on the person and even the relationship. In my / our case it was about me being very laid back and if somebody asked me to do something, and it was no big deal, I'd just do it. And the ratio of things she asked me vs vice versa was about 10:1. So when she couldn't do that one thing I asked her, and I really hate those flies, it eventually blew up.
>but the Netherlands has a very serious "old boy network" problem where white douchebags who didn't achieve much during their studies except boozing with other white douchebags keep failing upwards.

This isn't some Dutch thing. I've seen the exact same thing in Germany, Austria and Switzerland at the big-name companies in those countries (like BMW, etc.).

Basically, to succeeded, be a white local from a mid-upper/upper class family, go to a famous uni there and party, and you'll fail yourself to the top management in a big company there quite nicely, while immigrants have glass ceilings to make sure they know their place.
I still want an explanation as to how the aliens in that movie managed to miss that 70% of the planet is covered by a deadly poison, and that it literally falls from the sky in most places.
You say that like the US is not their biggest customer of illegal drugs.
I get the point of the article and I agree with the overall conclusion, but I don't agree that it applies in the example he provided.

If you are going to go to war over something, make sure it is worthy of doing so.

In his example: what is the harm in the drinking glass being there? Is it occupying space of others? Is it preventing others from doing something? Is it a burden on anyone? Or is it an aesthetic choice?

If it's an aesthetic choice, you need to get over it.

We have a fairly open house plan. There aren't many choke points. Except one. There's a corner of a wall that is about 5 to 7 feet from the corner of a kitchen island. If you are coming in from the side door, it is the one place you have to cross to get to the rest of the house. Almost every day, my wife will park her rolling bookcase right there.

Conversely, she's pretty lax on where she leaves her dirty laundry. But it's confined to the area beside her side of the bed and it doesn't encroach beyond that. I can't really stand having all that about. My clothes go straight into a hamper. But we both mostly do our own laundry, her getting her clothes off the floor is mostly an aesthetic choice. I let her live her life in that regard.

"Leaving the glass on the counter is disrespectful to me" is kind of a toxic mindset. It kind of says "You must conform to my ideas of acceptable behavior". It's a bit controlling.
I do wonder what the subjects in these photos would look like with different cameras and lens combinations. Everything about those shots scream great composition, but held back by the technical aspects: blurry and distorted.

But you have no evidence of this. You're just saying "This thing I like will be big because I like it"

Web2 had a lot of stars align to become "the next big thing". (The newfound capacity for advertising, smartphones driving adoption, and the mechanisms for tracking and stealing user data). And none of those stars had to deal with privacy, decentralization, security, encryption, etc. All of these things that we have been trying to get consumers to value and consider for years; are actually antithetical to corporation's profit incentive. The tech industry has tried for a very long time. The concepts behind web3, such as decentralization, are not new. They have been tried, and created, and even somewhat adopted, for a VERY long time. Blockchain is just the new mechanism to try and attack this, but like most things on the internet, the problem is not a technical one: It's a social and economic one.

Until you talk about dismantling capitalism, I don't see web3 as being anything more than a natural cycle of niche internet interest combined with speculative market scams that entrap vulnerable populations into caring about it just long enough for them get burned on the latest crypto rugpull.
Most people on HN here don't have a clue of what they are talking about, whether it is financial market regulation or cryptocurrency or blockchain technology.

What makes this topic difficult to approach is the degree of complex issues which surrounds it. We are looking at the intersection of technology innovation, the long-standing failure of institutional and market mechanisms, and combined with a bleak macroeconomic context.

Most people here should take a good reminder that they actually aren't experts in everything.
