This will never backfire. Yep.
I think the reason so many surprising distance comparisons in Europe involve Germany is that most people have in their heads that Germany's farther West than it is. And that it doesn't stretch as far East as it does. Maybe it's a leftover from Cold War-era maps.

Web3 makes a lot of sense to me. The people that got into Bitcoin early are now out and ridiculously rich. Other people also wanted to get rich, but that exact opportunity feels like it passed (still holding out for my $80 invested in Bitcoin to be worth >$100,000, but I got in kind of late), so people started making their own coins in the hopes of repeating the process. That had mixed success, Etherium (and maybe Dogecoin) did pretty well, but most didn't. The SEC even started cracking down on ICOs.

So, there is a legitimate need for some new business model where you print money and keep most of it for yourself. Web3! I guarantee you someone will get rich from it. That means it worked.

(I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek here. I get the actual idea for cryptocurrency and even NFTs if I squint a little bit, I just think that the hype is from people that think they're going to get rich without doing any actual work. It does happen, but at the end of the day, doing actual work is probably going to be more profitable on average. You're probably too late to the game if you start now intending to be a Web3 trillionaire, anyway. The hype is to get you to buy some of the money you're printing with money that can actually be used to buy mansions. So they can buy some mansions.)
Let's compare Germany with a made up family who we shall call ... Schmidt.
Fritz Schmidt, the father, is doing more than good, he is one of the best engineers in the world, he is making good money. His house is smaller than he would like but he keeps it tidy and he is generally well respected. His two kids goes to the best schools.

One day something goes wrong with his brain and he goes on a murder spree.

Fritz goes to prison, his house is sold off to pay the victims families and his children are sent to separate orphanages.

Decades later one kid, Hans, have made it despite being reminded of his fathers crimes every day. His orphanage helped him with a good education and a very generous loan so he could start his own factory.

The other kid, Helmut, got a shit education and no loan and is hungry every day. Almost every month he has to beg Hans for money to pay the rent.

What a great outcome for the Schmidt family.

More money > money
Although I can understand the need to fight money laundering, it is very scary. From the explanation provided by the N26, it is basically that we may sometimes close your account due to error and there is nothing you can do about that.

My friend had deposited some money in one of those online banks. Then it got frozen and they requested some additional documentation which my friend provided. When the service did not release the funds, he went to the court and the bank immediately released the money without explanation. Apparently their evidence wasn't really so convincing to withstand court scrutiny. However, it is possible that the regulations require freezing funds even on the basis of flimsy evidence.
We typically invest at earlier stages, so I can't say firsthand what diligence looks like at series F. If you mean Fast, Gergely Orosz had a good writeup at https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/the-scoop-fast. Sounds like that was more attributable to hiring ahead of revenue than infrastructure spend.
As a teacher, my anecdotal opinion that is kids have much more available - and higher quality - indoor entertainment. As a kid in the 90’s, I didnt want to be inside. It was boring.

I also do believe kids are over-scheduled and that youth sports require wildly excessive investment compared to my era.

So can I argue that it's my religious belief that I need to call everyone 'jackass'?

I would think there would need to be actual religious grounds for the claim, which I don't believe there are.
No religion I'm aware of says you can't address someone by the pronouns for their preferred gender identity. Can you really just say "religion!" and then do whatever you want?
Thanks for the explanation. I'll give the dev list a shot.
Did one person design the SR-71...?
What we really need is some kind of Mind Your Own Business law to punish these busy body neighbors. There should be civil or criminal penalties for someone calling the cops on someone else doing nothing wrong. Or enforce existing laws. There must be some kind of Abuse Of Public Services law that can be used to deter these nosey ninnies. Make people think twice and be 100% sure before they stick their nose into other people’s lives.

I know this would severely reduce the content on NextDoor, r/PublicFreakout and r/byebyejob, but it’s a price we should be willing to pay.

Yep, you should also be careful of people shilling (not even corporate brands doing marketing but regular people who are shareholders in a stock shilling!). For example /r/buildapc famously has a bias towards AMD CPU/GPU because many posters there are $AMD holders. Same goes for Tesla across pretty much all subreddits.

Are you saying Africans aren’t “work-ready, healthy”? I guess you mean “highly educated”

I would think that, in aging populations, many of the jobs most difficult to fulfill by count would be in service jobs (care homes, nursing, Uber eats cyclists, bus drivers, etc)

There likely will be millions of people in Africa willing to take on such a job and capable of doing so.

Also, chances will be higher that those people would want to emigrate than, say, Chinese nurses, as there will already be plenty of demand in China.
> She would be required to report any kid who was walking to school, it simply isn't allowed anymore.

This is definitely true, here in BC. Kids under the age of 11 should not be unsupervised at any time; the rules aren't clear, but the case precedent make it not worth the risk.

Personal theory is that it's becoming obvious that the VC model is very limited, i.e. it largely works in sectors where you rapidly scale up a product with zero marginal costs of production which is pretty much only software, and they've run out of social networks to fund.

In other sectors be it healthcare, construction, anything involving people or the 'world of atoms' as Thiel liked to put it things aren't going that great. Web3 seems increasingly the only thing to throw billions at.
"On average, 121 min were spent spelling and the average length of these communications was 131 characters per day. The patient’s intelligible messages comprised 5747 characters produced over 5338 min, corresponding to an average rate of 1.08 characters per minute."
It really is. I see too often wins like this get overlooked by the general pessimism everyone seems to have about the world.

But through a lot of hard work, we gave someone living in a black mirror-style horror the start of being able to communicate again.

Give it 20 years and I'm sure we'll have a standard box to stick on someone's head to let them communicate reasonably well (or at least enough to order a cold beer).
You are thinking about the weeds of sorting now, but that is rarely relevant to the problem at hand.

You can (and most people do) look at it from the other angle. Sort(seq) is a function which returns a permutation of seq such that every element is less-than-or-equal-to the next element. Usually, we use this function because we need this property to hold in our following code. A lot of the time, this function is called for very short sequences, where even the most naive implementation would be fats enough for even the highest scale program. So, in the vast majority of code we only care about the semantics of std::sort; and all of the above have the same semantics.

In fact, the fact that we do often get a stable sort as well shows that semantics are the most important characteristic, as stable and unstable sorts do have slightly different semantics.

The '82 F150 only had that much power if you got a loaded truck with a V8. The base V6 engine was 130hp.

You could also get pickups with 52 horsepower in 1982 as well:

http://vwtruckforsale.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/specs-s...

A 2021 Ram TRX has 13.5 times that amount of power. (702hp)

The smallest pickups you can get in the US today, the Maverick and the Santa Cruz both start at 3.7 times that amount of power (191hp).

My take on smart people in the crypto space comes down to the Upton Sinclair quote, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
> Is there any truth to this?

Yes, symmetric cryptography is a lot more straightforward and should be preferred where it is easy to use a shared secret.

> Doesn't basically all Internet traffic rely on the security of (correctly implemented) asymmetric cryptography?

It does. This would come under the "unless you absolutely need it" exception.
Can you elaborate? None of these Virtual Machines go away because so many people run them and can run them, including yourself. You can branch off the current state or any prior state and run/execute it locally at any point in time, without needing the resources to run the whole blockchain. This is enough for you and your community/clients to have the data to move it all somewhere else, if necessary. If you need all the prior states for some reason, someone will have it for you to bootstrap from. What would stop working?

and when you mean latest scam ... how? all - or all major - blockchains have had this feature since day 1. reading is free, writing is not. now all the nodes in most networks can function as event-driven compute services, similar to aws lambda and other products, except reading and bandwidth is free.
Could you detail what exact tooling you are talking about ?

Like, this static analyzer looks interesting but 5 years ago clang --analyze had no trouble producing me a nice html indicating the 27 steps across 6 functions that lead to a pointer being dereferenced after being deleted.

I find it endlessly amusing that the subset of libertarians who love to berate socialism "as never having worked" by pointing to Bolshevik Russia have limitless patience for the at-scale failures of crypto. Obviously not all libertarians, but quite I large number that I've bickered with on HN/Reddit.

I absolutely adore my System76 Darter Pro. System76 is actually great for many different price points since they are extremely customizable. For example, you could do something like opt for a cheaper processor but more storage whereas many manufacturers force you to have more expensive everything (Apple is the worst offender, but all seem to do this to an extent).
I was in Central Africa (CAR and Chad) in the early 90s and shortwave was a lifeline. The BBC was on in the background almost all day, with the exception of switching to the VOA once in a while to check on sports scores. Beyond news, shortwave was how things like evacuation and security reports were shared.

My shortwave broke in transit home, but I picked up a new one around 2000, just in time for the BBC to end its broadcasts to North America. That really signaled the beginning of the end as other broadcasters cut back or eliminated their broadcasts.

> Have a system by which each coffee comes with a unique code on the receipt. This code grants you 1hr on the WiFi before terminating your session.

I went to a place like that a few years ago. I could never comfortably finish my drink within the time limit, so I'd get cut off wifi while still drinking, even if I was just browsing to relax, not spending hours.

Perhaps it worked for them: I stopped going there and taking up seating. Then again I stopped going there to buy anything as well.

The internet time limit was an improvement over their previous policy, of playing music way too loud, which staff told me was deliberate. That didn't actually push people away who had laptops - people like me wore earplugs with noise cancelling headphones over the top, to bring the awful sound down to bearable levels. But it stopped people who came in for a chat with friends from chatting.
Just to be clear, there's very little you (or any readers) ought to conclude from the fact that you know who Guido van Rossum is but are unaware of those other people.
I don't think they intend sincerity to be the opposite of cynicism. I think the idea is that people, being cynical, will assume that you are insincere. Presumably, TFA tells you how to avoid that.

So if you are sincerely cynical, how would people tell you that they are being sincere (when your assumption is that they are not)?

No idea, since I can't read TFA either.

Sounds like you hang with a certain crowd. Unfortunately, being a "successful SV engineer" doesn't mean one is particularly intelligent. In fact, I think we tend towards some other common and frankly ugly human traits- primarily greed and selfishness, without giving much back to our communities. IME, crypto bros are especially guilty of this.

"Crypto is bad for the earth? Well fuck it, ima still get mine."

Even though I can't personally get behind it, it's easy understand the appeal of hopping on the wagon to make some easy money. Especially if one feels FOMO and has little empathy for others or concern about the long-term prospects for humanity surviving.

Small correction: some cryptos are anonymous, Zcash and monero for example. Bitcoin and ether are not, and once those have been rolled into something like the Winklevoss's Gemini, it is harder to follow them publicly.
Yes, the tools maybe there, but for more modern languages, they didn't needed so long for the same tools to appear.
I now live in the neighbourhood that I grew up in; when I was a child there were no transients, no unhoused drug abusers living in the bushes that lined the path to the school.

Works for me. We enjoy the same benefits high capital enjoys when investing on crypto. Saves lots on paperwork and taxes. Plus, now I can save my wealth from being stolen by the govt when it decides to print it's way into our 6th currency.
The aristocracy loved gold because it was money for the elites. Farmers in the US hated it, because it was money for the elites.

Honestly, the arguments are basically the same as the gold bugs and the motivation is the same. People are invested in gold so they want it to succeed even at the expense of other people. Same with cryptocurrency.

If this is your fight, you lost it decades ago. The US courts have consistently held that you have no 4th amendment rights to protect records held by an independent party. And any remaining protections were erased in 2001 by Cheney's war on privacy and the NSA dragnet. Remember room 641 -- and also remember that congress retroactively declared it all legal. Maybe you should have privacy rights -- I think so, and the EFF certainly thinks so! But there's certainly no "in the woods" exception to this long-standing practice. Go lobby your congress-critter and change the law!

I'm much more concerned about some of the urban uses of this, where the police ask for details on everyone in a square mile downtown for an evening, and then troll through thousands of names. It is easy to imagine a sequence of coincidences leading to a forced false-confession. But here, where anyone returned would be either a genuine suspect, or possible witness, it just seems like diligent policing.

I am just curious about Apple watching my iPhone usage. Sometimes I tend to think, that Apple creates a profile as an applicant there just from phone usage. Apple knows about my not healthy relationship with the phone. Apple also knows about my extended lunch breaks walking with colleagues. Apple knows about my interests from photos taken with iPhone. Some days I just want to get some old used Nokia or Siemens C35 and hide from all this surveillance and profiling.

I am also curious about iPhone demographics. I seriously doubt, that German teenagers get iPads and iPhones instead of cheap (and easily replaceable) androids.
