Master/slave replication is unambiguously an analogy to the practice of slavery in general (not one accurate enough to be useful, I agree). 'Partition' is a generic term for the subdivision of something, with the subdivision of India not even being a particularly prominent example.

Who decides if particular words are potentially inappropriate? People decide, including people working for corporations that make linting tools or industry bodies like the MPAA. Ironically the latter is an actual monopoly that literally does attempt to prevent people from watching films based on its word lists rather than simply suggesting alternative words, but the longstanding practice of people being fussy about certain words is apparently only terrifying or Orwellian when the potentially offended party is minorities.

Based on what I see from across the ocean, USA politics is binary: only 2 choices, parties have opposing opinions on almost everything. One is pushing DEI, one is opposing.

The worst thing is that based on what I see from outside, both sides have something right and something really wrong, so there is no good choice overall. It does not matter who wins the elections, something will be worse.
Ah, but you can go an entire lifetime without doing a wire transfer, and even if you don't the risks are well known at this point.
There’s the /r/churning crowd then there’s the DeFi crowd. Yield chasing is becoming more popular.
Real yields matter. It's an inflation tax.

If inflation is high and the interest rates are low. This tax is on you for holding currency or currency likes. Bonds for example are literally dumb to buy. Why are people buying them? They are legally required to buy them in some cases.

What happens is that those 'savings accounts' are paying the inflation tax. Whereas someone with a mortgage at say 2% and inflation is 8%. You are earning 6%. This generally speaking can be defined as wealth transfers from retirees to a lower generation. Primarily Boomer -> Millennial. This will and is causing lots of animosity between the generations. The boomers quite obviously didnt save enough for retirement and thought they could indebt a lower generation? Hilarious failure.
Yeah; there really aren't any great use cases I can think of for more than 1 gbps to the home at the moment. A 4k stream runs ~25 mbps, a 100 GB game download will tend to cap out before saturating the connection and still take ~15 minutes (hardly a wasted evening if you have to wait for it). At 2 Gbps, if you actually saturated the connection downloading something, you'd better have an SDD, since you'll be downloading faster than a HDD can write. More bandwidth may be -nice-, for the few services that can take advantage of it (I'm not sure PSN, Steam, etc, even will), but it's hardly a game changer for home use. Even the backup/transfer cases he lists I'd hope are transferring diffs, which would likely make the speed increase unnoticeable.

But, of course, I'd still love 25 gbps fiber to the home just because.
>Chargeback fraud for both the consumer and the merchant is good as well? Is that why when the payment processor encounters tons of friendly fraud in a merchants account they lock up your account and you're unable to accept payments anymore, effectively killing your business.

>The bank doesn't even know if the chargeback is fraudlent or not and will take the money from you regardless of you wasting time countering the disputes to prove that it is fraudlent. Thus, it hurts both the merchant and the consumer and that system can be abused.

Merely because the US system of handling chargebacks is dogshit and your companies have taken to making processes so unpractical that chargebacks are common practice. European banks perform 2FA checks for online purchases, and chargebacks are harder to execute, while still doable.

But sure, throw the baby with the bathwater, the bath, the house and the city's water system because you forgot to decrement a counter in a shitty contract.

The laws of physics are invariant under a change in linear velocity. If you take everything in the Universe and add a constant to its velocity, and then if you yourself add that amount to your own velocity, then everything will appear exactly the same.

The laws of physics are not invariant under rotation. If you take everything in the Universe and give it a nudge so that it's spinning around a particular axis, things will change. For starters, everything will fly apart, unless you also create a force field that pulls everything towards the axis of rotation (with the force increasing linearly with distance from the axis of rotation).

A technical way to describe this is to say that the laws of physics have Poincaré invariance (or more properly, just Special Relativity has this invariance).[1]

That's why linear momentum is viewed as a trivial property of a black hole, but angular momentum is not.

You haven’t heard of Starlink or the Model S? I can drive 120 electric miles to my country cabin, where there is no cell service and wired broadband tops out at about 32 kilobit per second USR modems, and I can open a RDC connections to my CNC machines, play low latency games, blow things up with det cord and cast boosters. It’s pretty cool, man.

"The shortage of C++ engineers and the complexity of C++ as a programming language has the potential to encourage the uptake of Rust instead. However, as Hickling points out, many firms with established trading systems are loath to adopt Rust because it implies rewriting the existing code base."

Hey fair enough. Good to know. But you’re the one who asked ‘why’? I guess you thought that was rhetorical? :)

I was just going off the docs which specifically mention Chrome OS and Chrome-books. Personally, I’ve never really had a use case for something like this.

My only point is, I still applaud the author’s effort here, and it taught me something new about Web APIs. It’s interesting that you can do that at all with a web page!

By the same logic, we can say the same things for no-code tools, IDE, spellchecker, etc.
Are you being sarcastic? I can't imagine why squiggly lines would make it harder for a computer to check clearance. They can definitely already handle it. They even showed examples in this post!

Similarly I don't see why thermal calculations would require a particular geometry. That would be a very strange way to do things.

I'm not even sure what you're disagreeing with. I gave a direct quote, from the very article we're discussing, that Varoufakis directly attributes a price difference to "profit". You may believe that, but it contradicts all (non-Marxist) economic theory, which is the only thing I'm pointing out.

In fact, I realize most Marxists never read Das Kapital, but Marx himself is very clear that he doesn't believe trade creates value:

> Turn and twist then as we may, the fact remains unaltered. If equivalents are exchanged, no surplus-value results, and if non-equivalents are exchanged, still no surplus-value. Circulation, or the exchange of commodities, begets no value.

“These entangled dynamics have also fuelled a favourable political environment for Trump, who has combined a corrupt and conservative agenda with stark claims about media corruption and demagogic incitements to violence.”

This is why people disregard the value of historical study. As though it were important scholarly work, not just an anti-Trump piece disguised as “analysis.”

I don't know how it is now, but I always looked forward to my holidays in Spain as a kid in the 80s because of Spain's lax copyright laws. Every shop seemed to have racks of pirated 8-bit video games for sale and I would always go home with a few.

This continued even after consoles were popular, with pirated multi-game carts freely available on the high street.
Discrimination based on race is racism, so your argument makes no sense.
Me too. Much much much better than KiCAD which is quite unusable IMO and the devs were actively hostile to UX improvements.

This seems to address it (from the article):

"[Hawking] radiation is thermal which means it’s random except for its temperature, and the temperature is inversely proportional to the mass of the black hole. This means two things. First, there’s no new information which comes out in the Hawking radiation..."

Its mass is one of the few things we know from the outside.
> try finding a Remote Job that is ACTUALLY Remote. Because I've not found a truly remote job. The "Remote" in posting is pure bait-and-switch

I may be an outlier, but I did exactly that. My company was talking about coming back to the office (it was oscillating as COVID spikes came and went) and I started looking at roles elsewhere.

I did not interview with anyone who wasn’t legitimately, actually, remote I took a job last October for a company on the other side of the US. My manager is in Toronto. His manager is in Scotland.

It can be done. The companies are out there. I agree though, you need to be very specific upfront and make sure you’re getting what you want.

If you've only worked in very small, mom-and-pop style companies, you might run into this. I knew small companies (under 30) that ran without version control for over a decade.

> Tolerate a system in which increases in productivity accrue benefits mostly to capital rather than society as a whole.

Let's take the information revolution. Is that really true? Sure, we can point to examples of tech billionaires and multinational companies. But those advances in computing and communications did make it to the masses. Now over 90% of the world owns a smartphone with some access to the internet. Same with almost all technological breakthroughs since the industrial revolution and rise of capitalism.
> In a professional environment, it makes total sense to measure time. Cheesy as it might sound, time is money for the professional, and when your paycheck depends on how much work you can do in a limited time span, time itself becomes a factor for optimization. But when the main reason you’re doing it is because you love doing it, time becomes the gun you shoot yourself in the foot with.

Except that if you do that, you're a dilettante, not a craftsman. If you take on a project to fix somebody's bike, and you take your time so as not to stress yourself out, your customer is going to be pissed off at you: they want their bike fixed, that's why they're paying you money that they earned doing things that stressed them out. You should feel a sense of obligation when you take someone's money: not an obligation to chase your own sense of joy, but to do the thing they paid you to do.

That's why I think turning your hobby into a job (which is what you do when you take money for it, no matter what you want to call it) is a bad idea. The author dismisses it as a cliche, or as bullshit, but it's the most valid argument against what they're saying: making your hobby your job means it's not your hobby anymore.

If you have a lot of money — enough to lose it on a failing business — it's okay to be a dilettante, take your time, and appeal only to a small number of customers. If you have a lot of hobbies, and can afford to sacrifice one of them to make it a real profession that pays your bills, while getting your pleasure in other areas, then that's fine too. But if you have one big thing you love doing, you will probably stop getting the same kind of pleasure from it if it becomes your full time job. This isn't true in every case, but in the majority of cases it is.
I feel like spammers and cyber criminals are getting better. Stuff is starting to get through Google spam filter by mashing up with elements that seem very real and urgent. Like yesterday I got this spam in my Gmail primary inbox with a subject line like "RE: Department of Education Case #295720186".

It made me wonder if you could autogenerate filter-evading spam using GANs? Train a GAN to generate email that fools a spam filter, feed it your spam prompt, and the neural network camouflages your prompt in filter-evading cruft and misdirection.
It sounds like we agree then. I'm not saying it's simple or deterministic, I'm saying it's not new and it's not made inapplicable just because the systems we're using have changed.

The problems that are raised as if they are uniquely issues to blockchain solutions are not in fact specific to blockchains at all. We can and should apply the same rules to blockchain transactions and smart contracts give us a fantastic way of encoding those rules. For example you can have a token that represents proof that you have been kycd by a particular authority and you can restrict transactions of particular assets to those between addresses holding one of those tokens.
Sure: but if it fails, then the card is invalid, and the card no longer can be billed. Again - you wouldn't get away with saying "well we couldn't verify the number" as standard practice - you'd just get sued and then punitively fined if it was found to be a lie.

This is great. I think SNI is currently one of the most pragmatic tools to work around ipv4 exhaustion.

I like the approach described here, but in practice I prefer the convenience of having a reverse proxy to automatically handle TLS certs for me. That said, libraries like certmagic are making it more feasible for every app to manage its own certs.

The key to interoperability is agreeing on standards. XMPP being about creating a proper Internet Standard and not a product is what made me choose XMPP over Matrix (also simplicity).
Something that was already sorted out by USCD and ISO Extended Pascal time, features that were later adopted by Turbo Pascal.

VMS Pascal was also quite alright.

Also Modula-2, which sorted out all the issues related with original Pascal, was introduced in 1978.

So everyone that focused on the original Pascal as reason for not using Pascal, was having a fossilized mindset.

I think that biggest culprit for it was the widespread of p2c in UNIX.
HN is neither simple nor inherently scalable. Dang recently asked people to log out so he could manually deal with a thread whose traffic was slowing down the entire site[0,1]. As a framework HN has fundamental architectural flaws and scalability has always been one of them. That would never happen even on a small forum with a relational database and proper load balancing/caching etc (in other words, with all that "fancy" modern stuff HN often considers unnecessary.)

I learnt programming from a BBC Micro manual my Dad brought home from a second-hand shop when I was 5. I would just sit and read it and imagine the programs in my head.

It's funny you mention that computers were a boy's thing - they definitely were, but two of my neighbours were girls and they both had computers before me, so I would annoy their parents by going around there as often as I could and getting them to help me type out pages of BASIC.

Later my parents bought me a Spectrum, but I always wonder if the neighbours just paid them off in the end to stop me turning up at all hours of the day and night.

Of course not, yet when the analogous thing happens in crypto, that's somehow an argument crypto is fatally flawed.

Apparently, it's done by having professionals in the loop who will usually send the money back. (There are exceptions.)

> Of course wires are reversible. They were not designed by children, but by professionals who live in a society which has systemically important institutions, and in the event of malfeasance or mistakes society does not tolerate a bank failing or a state missing payroll simply because someone said “no takesies-backsies” fast enough.

> Mistakes happen! By, conservatively, the hundreds of thousands daily across all payments systems, millions depending on your definition of mistake. Wire transfers, like almost all payment systems, explicitly contemplate them and have a sociolegal ritual to quickly reverse them.

> The ritual is called “hold harmless” and comes from a soft guarantee about the wire transfer ecosystem, which is that transactions are largely between sophisticated counterparties acting in good faith, intermediated by institutions whose probity is almost sacrosanct. Importantly, wires are in expectation worth having a human in the loop for; that is very not true of most payments.
CS only involves computable numbers ( Turing ) which are a subset of real numbers. By definition CS is a subset of math, not vice versa.

Yes, these are becoming more popular. Unfortunately, there is an annual purchase limit that is pretty low ($10K per person plus maybe an extra $5K if you can use a large income tax refund).

There was a time not that many years ago (15?) where I was actually earning higher interest in a bank CD than I was paying on my mortgage. I was also able to get short term cash advance at low introductory rate on a credit card, like $20K, and invest it short term at a higher rate. Good times.

Companies like Visa/Amex don't just provide a transaction network, they provide insurance for a fee. You know when you use your Visa debit/credit card that certain assurances are made. Among other things you can do charge-backs, and they will debit the merchant. The merchant pays a % cut to the network/insurer and it's built into the price of goods and services.

If such insurance/service guarantees are of interest to the market, they will be provided.

The weird thing is people associate Visa transactions with business that are real legal entities that have contracts with Visa and you could sue, but as soon as you say Bitcoin they assume every transaction is like a Nigerian prince scam. These associations are the result of effective marketing by people who want you to feel that way.
