I agree. In dot com era most of startups are not here? Only circa1%~3% of founded between 1995 to 2001 created real economic value. Does it mean rest 97% were scams because they didnt create meaningful value etc.?
That's largely true for the mineral deposits, but not at all for the harbors. Harbors necessarily host warehouses, tax assessors, harbormasters, lighthouses, repair services... and all of those require offices on site (though the lighthouse is capable of containing its own office).

(Offices are of course required at a mine too, but a comparatively tiny number of them.)
This scandal and the issues at the dutch tax office runs much deeper than just this one set of issues, they also maintained illegal lists of 'potential fraudulent people' on which 100's of thousands of people that had done nothing wrong, such as having the 'wrong' surname.

It's rotten to the core and to date there have been zero consequences for the perps and the damage continues to pile up. Our government has fallen over this and - surprise - the exact same players were re-elected without taking any responsibility for any of this.
You don't need control over the platform. Just penalise the users.

I eat defrosted bread quite often and I can't notice a flavor difference, at least for sandwiches.

And stale or moldy bread, my alternative, is very easy to notice.
Laplink was so great and always worked. The only thing was the lack of possibility to play games over parralell link, only serial was possible. That is not laplinks' fault but rather the technology. Naturally parallell 25 pin cables had a much higher throughoutput rate than serial 9pin links had.

Anyone involved with GME knows this isn’t true.
For most of my life I feel like politics has worked that way though. It's human nature to respond to fear. It's why so many people spend more time talking about why we have to stop the other guy from getting in office rather than why our own guy should be there.

And it certainly happens for a reason, besides the empty promises brought by most politicians the most visceral human response comes from fear. The more fearful people are, the easier they are to manipulate in general.

If you take a step back and look at political messages designed to inspire fear, it will all become pretty visible.
Delightful tone, something that feels both whimsical and approachable.
Yeah, the submitted title is not good at conveying what this actually is.
Very interesting, though I have to wonder if this wouldn’t become incredibly hard to read. You sort of always put the horse before the cart. Especially the if is incredibly difficult to parse, as the condition is already on the stack, AND the two branches. This is quite the reverse of what imperative languages do, which mimics natural language: if x then y else z.
It should be terrifying. I’ve seen chef/puppet runs across an entire fleet cause multimillion dollar outages multiple times in my career.
I think crypto fans want transparency and an equal playing field, and are more afraid of things like regulatory corruption and markets that are not open to them. It is not clear that "regulated finance" prevents comically unfair outcomes either. You still have insider trading that is legally protected, discriminatory rules like accredited investor qualifications, and abuse of the legal system by the rich to avoid regulations with loopholes or lobbying.
And there's still room for spin-offs specializing in types of bread!

Oh hey, I didn't see your reply until just now, thanks for the explanation and trying to resolve it! I understand the technical issue now.

I still don't understand the UX. Am I assuming correctly that it's core to the concept of Notion to always be editable and not have an edit/view flip switch? Because I never used Notion to write anything, I just read things other people wrote. And so it's arguably weird to interact with a webpage that as it turns out is secretly an editor only masquerading as a webpage. Sly!
It is internet, so there's plenty of actors, some of them paid, some of them foreign.

I quite remember how the USA openly declared that they are going to influence the whole world via the internet domination, and took responsibility for things such as Arab Spring.

The fit that the USA tries to throw at the face of some music spam-posted by "paid foreign" bots is amusing in that context. And the whole world understands that context. Very. Clearly.
Big disclaimer: I have only used home-manager on NixOS.

The main development target for the project seems to be NixOS, but you can install it on other Linux distribution or macOS as well. It just depends on the Nix Package Manager, which you need to install, not on NixOS.

The home-manager manual describes a standalone (not integrated with NixOS) setup with flakes here:

Oh yea 100% it would definitely be a great move for China. That’s why there is so much saber rattling. But if you just wait you are so close to Taiwan that you can probably just win it over eventually via its own political system. I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but Taiwan public opinion was much more lukewarm to China before they invaded Hong Kong. A hasty attack (within 10-15 years and no significant global alliance changes) could be catastrophically bad.

I'm starting to believe that there are genuine Western trolls that come up with the "it's all Putin's fault!" whenever the going gets tough, like right at this moment. Didn't think that I would have put an institution like Cornell in the Western troll camp, but I guess that's what hybrid war gets us nowadays.
Polygloss – A low-tech multilingual language practicing app
I am not a Python expert, but I think strictly speaking __init__ is the object instance initialiser.

The "constructor" is the __new__ method (which is a static method) which will create an instance of the class. Afterwards a call is made to the __init__ method on the new instance, passing any parameters specified in the __new__ method and the newly created instance (as self).

As kissgyorgy rightly points out, it's the interpreter that performs these calls.

Python is a bit more revealing about how the sausages are made.

I doubt non crypto fans are doing investigatory research into Coinbase insider crypto purchases and complaining about it on Twitter, Reddit, and HN. Just a hunch.
I either watch out the window the last bit and watch the base lights to judge the last few meters or I just watch the vertical velocity nixie (numeric display) and feather the throttle to keep Vert V. close to zero — eventually you touch down gently.

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully I'll get more of that (and likely your request will come up again as well).
I don't know, when many major religions directly call for women to be inferior it seems kind of weird to say it's not causation.
A lot of the rah-rah boosterism of "decentralization" is coming from VCs that saw how much money there is to be made by ignoring laws and regulations for long enough. Airbnb and Uber are the most brazen examples of this.

What's left unsaid of course is that the only interest deep-pocketed investors have in dismantling elements of the financial system (MC/Visa dominance, KYC/AML checks, suspicious transactions disclosure rules), is so they can replace it with a system that they personally have an equity stake in.
..Account created 20 days ago with a comment history that feels somewhat tendentious to me. Anyhow:

Or maybe they are acting in their best self-interest looking at current and past affairs?
I loved the kit: easy to use software with a hydra cable that linked to everything available at the time (which was basically serial and parallel printer ports). Did many migrations with this thing. I remember one friend asked me to bring over "your computer jumper cables" to help migrate.

Not if the EMH is true.
If it were entirely reasonable they probably would have disclosed that as the reason.
> "Propaganda is real, it does work, and it is a problem."

Do the supporters of 'Liberal Democracy' never employ propaganda? I use this as an example since when the issue of foreign interference in the American democratic process is brought up it's usually in the context of the 2016 election. Trump of course representing a deviation from decades of America's foreign policy being the export of 'Liberal Democracy or else'.

There has only been one tulip mania. Bitcoin on the other hand has gone through a few boom and bust cycles by now. This implies that it's probably not very helpful to compare the two.

Your confusing the Wikipedia community of users, which anyone is free to participate in, and have passed this RFC, with the Wikimedia Foundation, which accepts donations and runs the systems and networks that Wikipedia runs on.

Such hybrid and “community” driven systems are far from problem-free. But this one has created Wikipedia, which most people think is a good thing. Obviously it’s tricky to walk the line.
He and Hikaru have different different approaches, with Nakamura being a grandmaster and so has much deeper potential for analysis of his own positions, but agadmator is nevertheless a daily-watch for me. His channel is my favourite thing on YouTube.
The first x86 system I had was a hand me down 286. The parallel port on the motherboard was only unidirectional, so I modified it to be bidirectional by soldering a bodge wire between the output enable signal on one of the 74LS374 (I think) and the other control register. Ah, old systems were so hackable in the 1980s prior to the mass migration to large scale SoCs.

You think four months is going to change something? We’ve heard these same promises for a decade.

During the 2017 ICO boom, people who were selling their tokens were saying the exact same thing as you: “Now that we have all this investment and smart people in this space, the real-world use cases are just around the corner.”

The billions that flowed into crypto in 2017-18 created nothing except a stream of SEC investigations and fines. The “builders” were grifters. Why is this time different?
Good points!

The Logfile Navigator (https://lnav.org), a TUI for viewing log files, has support for opening logs on remote hosts via SSH in its latest version. See the following post for more information:
https://lnav.org/2021/05/03/tailing-remote-files.html

As for integrating with a “genders” host DB, there’s no direct support for it. But, lnav is scriptable, so I’m pretty sure it’s possible to write a script that does what you want. I can help with that if post in the github discussion: https://github.com/tstack/lnav/discussions

Team game...good idea, will think about this.
Reality isn’t always virtuous. The smart phone in your hand or the computer you typed your comment on was likely developed by people who were likely unhappy with their working conditions and wage (assuming they even received one). You still bought it. You justified or overlooked the ugly to get the product you wanted or needed. Your shocked because I said it out loud?

If I have information that the price of x coin is going to go up and my friend knows I know, then they just need to follow my trades and they can make money too.

If enough people follow my trades then this can generate demand and actually affect the price.
I grew up in a union household. I don't recommend it. The workers at Amazon that chose to unionize should simply have gotten a job elsewhere. Unions will drive up prices and slow down service. Someone pointed to the auto industry. The impact of the union led to greater automation as it will at Amazon. TANSTAAFL.

Related git+fzf:

[alias]
fza = "!git ls-files -m -o --exclude-standard | fzf -m --print0 | xargs -0 git add"

Then if you run "git fza" you'll get a list of changed files in your repo, which you can use TAB to select/deselect. Hit enter and the selected files will be staged, ready for a commit. Extra cool is that it works from any subdirectory of your repo because it always lists files from the root of the repository. It's really useful for selectively adding lots of files from the command line.

I then alias "ga" to "git fza" for even less typing :)
Calling me names is definitely not something that gets your point across. Pretty sure as we stand you have zero proff for your anti-crypto statements and are resorting to name calling. Definitely something frowned upon by HN.
Umm, I am a crypto fan and I still don't want regulation. You have to be an idiot to buy something on listing. Embrace this.
Yup. If society persecutes web3, NFTs, and other technocults, there's no telling where the madness will stop. MLMs, televangelists, condo timeshares, penny stocks. No grift scheme will be safe from the nanny state.
The two have very different content. Hikaru is mostly live blitz play with commentary by one of the best in the world (possibly the best for the formats he plays) while Agadmator is only analysis of typically classical games by an otherwise weaker player.

As for me, I prefer neither and like more educational content that doesn't focus on games at the very top (e.g. Naroditsky's or chessbrah's speedruns) but that doesn't change that Hikaru is more popular than them or Agadmator.
That presumes humans can access our (electronic) media and understand it, in some 8.000 years or further.

There's no saying that there'll be a society capable of reading bits and bytes by then. Not just collapsed society -they'll hardly be interested in reading a random discussion on an orange forum for a niche group that lived 8000 years ago- but maybe even societies that are vastly technical superior to our own but cannot fathom what things meant 8 millenia back. I mean we have texts from some 600 years ago, that we can read, but cannot understand (e.g. Rohonc Codex). Eventhough our technology and knowledge is far superior to when it was written.

Not just for the blind. Check the SQL bindings and the scripting support.

Also, it supports enough JS for commenting threads in web pages and most login widgets.
Good question. Litestream does physical replication so it simply copies the underlying pages of the database. That means it’ll work with any database changes including DDL or even extensions.

One exception to that is encrypted databases like SQLCipher since Litestream needs to be able to read some metadata from the database.
Thank you for the feedback! The game now checks browser language and redirects accordingly.
As per [this random image google spat out](https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Energy-storage-capacity-...) this is about 50% efficient. Which I think is the same round-trip efficiency for hydrogen. With higher efficiencies if not the full capacity is used.

Might be a nice alternative for storage of energy surpluses, because storage is dense in terms of volume, and storage is not complicated by storage tanks and massive pressures.
Dislosure: I'm not directly from the fields of the Sciences Of Angles And Ambiguously Crossing Lines nor I've every seen or used this symbol before. However to me it's, pretty evidently, supposed to be a "no right angle" symbol.

(A) It's in the math section,
(B) it's with angles,
(C) the thunderbolt ↯ is commonly used for "not" or more specifically for dis-proof in this area and

(D) at least by my 30 s internet search on a mobile phone I couldn't find any other "no-angle" or "no-right-angle" symbol.

Someone could argue that usually you use a simple strike through as like as in ≠ (unequal), ∉ (not-element-of) or ∅ (empty set) but I would say it was chosen to avoid confusion in this case. The angle itself (without the "no/not") consists of only to orthogonal lines so it would be kinda complicated to "strike it though" in any direction without ambiguity that would resemble a triangle, a fork or whatnot.

We found that Boots Randolph is great for spirited toddler dancing, as well as any 6/8 Sousa march. A lot of the time we just listen to what I would normally listen to.

We had a lot of fun with Bach and Wagner when he was a baby, but now that he can move around he wants something he can dance to.

I am the founder of a crypto startup, as well. The 4 months thing sounds like marketing and like it aligns with some kind of launch you are planning. Maybe more generously you are anticipating the Merge?

Either way, 4 months smells of bullshit. It will take at least 5 years for the good parts to float to the top.

In the mean time, I suggest to anyone else building things on blockchains to shut out the haters (you're already committed) and keep on building. Make sure you can survive at least one crash.
On the contrary: books might survive total societal collapse, but electronics don't.
We launch in June, but there's plenty of other projects with builders who are actually building real sustainable businesses and organizations with roadmaps towards profitability as well. They aren't common, to your point the vast majority _are_ grifters; but obviously there have been big transformative steps like Ethereum itself, Filecoin, IPFS and others.

APL & descendants are array/vector (or matrix) languages.

Anyways, the majority of programmers like general purpose languages that are popular with other programmers, because that's how you get employed and make money. And what has happened in the last 20 years is that techniques from functional & vector languages have made their way into mainstream languages. Either in the syntax or in their libraries.

That's a good thing after the previous decade+ of "object orientation will solve all our problems" dogma.

Concatenative approaches remain relatively under-explored though.
