I am absolutely sure. Look at inflation, for one. We haven't seen these inflation numbers since the 1980s, and this is in just 2 years since the biggest central banks opened the money spigots. I'm a millenial so I don't relish it, but "you ain't seen nothin' yet."

A lot of the research on Distributed Ledger Technologies (blockchain is an example of a data structure that is a DLT) is in playing with game theory, voting schemes and incentives.

It's a really interesting space to research for economists or political scientists. It's also a lever to turn government, social, financial and other systems into software.

All that to say, yes, PoW and PoS are not necessarily tied to blockchains or DLTs.

You can use PoW as a sort of captcha, for example. If it costs a little bit of CPU to submit a request to a website it's not a big deal for a human. However, if you're running a bot-net suddenly it starts to hurt!

One of my friends works on an e-ink product. My understanding is that one of the major trade secrets are the e-ink waveforms (the sequence of voltages used to print and erase content on the display). They are shared under NDA and baked into product firmware. Apparently the open-source versions are significantly worse.
Hey Beninsydney,

Angelo here (Support Engineer) from Railway. I was personally responsible for implementing the whole flow to link your account to post a support question. I apologize, I put those limits in place to help fight a recent wave of spam. If you can email me directly: angelo (at) railway (dot) app - I would love to answer any questions you may have.

In the meantime, I will be sure to make things right for your account. For others who might face the same issue as you, I will rectify the issue with the support flow moving forward.
We let them own it. But we don't have to let them keep it forever. It was always a choice, but we didn't place enough importance on it, so we chose badly. Now that we understand how important it is we need to redecide, and own identity ourselves.
They required documentation (for example, the credit card statements), so a call wasn't enough, I could mail or fax. But I did call them multiple times when trying to resolve, which was also a hassle. It's absurd that fax was the only means of electronic communication acceptable. How can you not accept email or have a web application? I don't know of a single other state that requires electronic communication solely by fax. I took it as a sign that CA wanted to create artificial hurdles so we would just give up and pay, which is ultimately what we did.
A 200 day lock is a call option on a loan, the price of the option changes all the time. What you're saying is that local banks/CUs would offer such an option for free. Someone has to pay for the option - in the scenario you describe, the bank/CU would pay for it by losing liquidity of its assets, then having to mark them down.

Rate locks are backed by rate swaps. The cost of purchasing a rate swap ultimately comes out of your pocket in the form of additional rate on the loan (the lender can add overhead of course). The cost of rate swaps has doubled in the past 3 months and quadrupled in the past 18 months. I believe it's currently around 3% on 10 year loans, so a 60 day lock on a $500K 10Y mortgage would cost about $2500 while a 200 day lock would cost over $8000.
As a normal home user, I avoid SSO like the plague. I don't want to wake up one day to find that Google has decided I'm a spammer or something, and turned off my Google account, thus disabling my login to 30 other sites.
Out of curiosity (if you're at liberty to say), what has bit you?

I do Node / TypeScript basically all day these days, and I'm probably too close into the forest anymore; I'm wondering if other people are getting bitten by things that I just roll right past because I'm used to the pain.

The extremely weak (and frankly incorrect) Date handling that's built into JavaScript is the first thing that comes to mind.

Well Windows 8/8.1 doesn't have as much telemetry and data grabbing as Windows 10/11 and you can always block Windows phoning home either using the `hosts` file or using various privacy powertools.

Windows 10/11 is not your computer anymore, so I avoid it at all costs. I have a Windows 8 virtual machine for things like Photoshop and other softwares, but I don't connect it to the public Internet. Since most software is targeting Windows these days, it's useful to have a VM where you can try out different software.

A reasonable counterargument is Asian books on Project Gutenberg [0]. I guess you can say they're compressed on the wire, but they're not compressed in my RAM or cache.

Well alright, you can jam bytes pretty much into anything. And you get luckier with UTF-8 than you do with probably any other encoding. But lucky isn't robust, is all I'm saying.

Accidentally misreporting linked users - less than 1% ?

If they were financial accounting errors, maybe. But for an audience measure that’s just a rounding error.
It used to be that the government would explicitly solicit for somebody to build them a particle disintegrator. If that was your business, you could then apply for a grant based on that solicitation. Recently, they have added something called “open topic”, which is basically for anything that the government would find useful but isn’t smart enough to ask for, from ray guns to open source cybersecurity projects. I think if it’s related to either blowing things up, or preventing things from getting blown up, uncle sam wants to talk to you!

std::map on C++ is a linked-tree structure, often a Red-and-black tree that very much looks like a "linked list" (or close to it) from a memory-management perspective.

If you delete a std::map taking up 4GB of RAM, the destructor will have to traverse all 4GBs to find all the pointers and return them to the heap.

No, actually. Many people send crypto transactions all the time, and do so anonymously, and the vast majority of them don't get in trouble for it.

Descriptively, it is untrue that there is some sort of wide scale crack down on anonymous crypto transactions in the west.

And no, before you say it, it doesn't really matter if, hypothetically, a future government could become extremely authoritarian, and arrest all the crypto users, because for whatever reason, crypto has been around for a decade, and governments aren't doing that.

The reality, and facts on the ground, are that people making anonymous crypto transactions all the time, and don't get in trouble with that, no matter how much people will then respond to this post by saying "Well, what if the government started doing it tomorrow!". Its not happening. Therefore, it is a useful usecase.

What are progressive policies?
Just to add something that hasn't already been talked about (speaking generically since you don't have much detail):

Most people do not care about the black box of HOW you solve their business problems. Identify people with the business problem you're looking to solve, talk to them about the problem, convince them to pay you money to solve it, and deliver on the solution. The means by which you solve the problem is where you extract value, and you do not necessarily have to communicate all the details on how you solve the problem. Or if it's kind of required depending on what it is you're talking about, you can wait on that until some paperwork is signed.

If you have a technical solution, try not to sell it to overly technical people, as they'll typically want to look into the black box.

What's a "major problem" to you is the best and unique aspect of having different linux distributions to others.

Sure, but the way I read the article, that's what the author shows. They don't like trade-offs that are made.

Maybe the tone of the article feels a little aggressive towards Go, I don't know. To me it felt more like an outcry of frustration with the chosen trade-offs.

From the article:

>“The health of science is in fact jeopardized by scientism, not promoted by it.

>Noting that most Americans enthusiastically welcome scientific advancements, particularly those in health care, transportation, and communications, Hutchinson suggests that perhaps what the public is rejecting is not actually science itself, but a worldview that closely aligns itself with science—scientism (14). By disentangling these two concepts, we have a much better chance for enlisting public support for scientific research...

>It is one thing to celebrate science for its achievements and remarkable ability to explain a wide variety of phenomena in the natural world. But to claim there is nothing knowable outside the scope of science would be similar to a successful fisherman saying that whatever he can’t catch in his nets does not exist (15). Once you accept that science is the only source of human knowledge, you have adopted a philosophical position (scientism) that cannot be verified, or falsified, by science itself. It is, in a word, unscientific.

Absolutely true.

I worked and lived in the SF Bay Area for nearly 30 years and I grew up in Marin. I left in 2016 and now own land in a rural area back East. I'm building my dream/retirement/Jeff Tracey Thunderbirds house and will never return to California. I still have most of my family in the SF Bay Area but they are going to end up "holding the bag" and lose out if they wait too long. My brother who has a house in Noe Valley worries me the most but I can't save him from himself.

I realized about a decade ago I could never retire in California due to the costs regardless of retirement investment. I also realized that what made Silicon Valley work politically, economically and intellectually is now 100% gone thanks to Woke.

I actually like urban cities. But I've lived in cities that ACTUALLY WORK - Taipei, Singapore, Tokyo, etc. And NO CITY in the USA will ever attain even 1/10th of what these cities achieve in terms of livability and cost - we don't have the cultural or national stamina to do what it would take (and NO green energy is not the answer). I've had hope in the past but clearly it's never going to happen.

And that won't change in my remaining lifetime (based on my grandparents' lifespans, I've got as much as 30 more years). If you've ever lived in "real cities" like these in Asia or Europe, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you need to travel and experience it. Honestly it's a lot like meeting woman overseas - you discover what you thought was normal absolutely is NOT nor remotely necessary.

The lower cost of where I live now has enabled me to make all the capital investments for my next companies (I've cofounded 4 since 2000 - all SW & HW based). Having the R&D "done/validated" before we talk to money means we keep far more ownership and are closer to release to market with time-to-market advantages.

This is completely impossible in California or NYC now. Doing this is pretty marginal in AZ or TX or OR or WA but sometimes doable in certain niches fields. It's a slam dunk if you have far lower operating and living costs.

Everything is changing - all the places you could MINDLESSLY assume would be good never will be again. A very useful historical analogy: between 1920 and 1960, the "electronics industry" (including the 1920s Radio Boom which was analogous in growth to all the booms in Silicon Valley over the last 50 years) were all centered in the NYC tristate area.

And then it was all gone - when it all moved to Silicon Valley and other western states. Nothing is permanent. And this type of migration is currently in progress right now. Again. But California is the "overpriced, antibusiness" location everyone is fleeing from. Just as in the 1950s-1960s, it wasn't necessarily clear where the new "hotspot(s)" would be. A lot of people were also sure that NYC would remain the center of electronics just as many people think California will always be the place for "Tech". They were wrong. The weather is not enough to keep people!
It seems that there may be some way to improve [cross]bows here.
I didn't even know this was a thing, selling off the servicing of loans. Our first home's mortgage was with HSBC and HSBC did everything, up until we sold that house. Our second (now current) home mortgage was with a local credit union and they did everything, too.

Dealing with the local credit union was super easy for everything. Not that HSBC was bad, but the credit union was always local people to talk to and never any problems.
> Most Node code I encounter that uses “streams” gets something wrong

This is really true. I ported a Node project to Go for this reason, and the streams in Go were miles easier to reason about.
Ask HN: How to override macOS Slack electron app keyboard shortcuts?
Does anyone know how to override Slack's electron app's keyboard shortcuts? I would be willing to unpack the app / repack it if necessary.

It is very disruptive to switch to Slack's command-shift-U rather than the standard command-shift-K used almost everywhere else for creating links in text.
PoS/PoW are decentralized concensus protocols; they could have used alternate data structures but practically something like a log-structured database with cryptographic hashed for integrity is the only thing that makes sense to reach consensus on, so cryptographic-tree structures that existed for decades were the logical choice and the concepts got entangled in people's minds. Cryptocurrency doesn't require decentralized consensus (multi-witness would work just about as well). Merkle trees don't need consensus; IPFS works just fine with content-addressed naming.

Blockchains are unique in their design to be self-sustaining decentralized cryptocurrencies; the self-sustaining part is what, in my mind, distinguishes them from the other technologies which rely on external incentives to keep them running.
The thing is that it's very hard to prove that someone left twitter if you only define leaving twitter as "accounts being deleted"... as their account is deleted. That makes it something hard to prove, and if that is the only way that you will believe that anyone has left twitter there's no way I'm going to spend that amount of time digging up previously active accounts that have since been deleted
Right, that's one of the architectures for complex programs: use a scripting language for parts and a systems language for other parts.

Video games are a great example. You'd like a level designer to be able to edit scripts that control arbitrary things about the game play, but you also need a performance and GFX pro to program other parts.
Central problem with these kinds of systems of thought is actually hinted at in the piece itself

>"While Georgism does not have a philosophy of governance, it can easily be harmonized with distributist ideals. In many governments today, especially the United States, there is a substantial bureaucracy which creates red tape rather than solving problems"

Georgism and similar economic ideas that favor localism have no theory of governance or of power. You can imagine a G.K. Chesterton style economy where we all live in a sort of Catholic Hobbingen of family owned businesses or Le Guin's Anarres, but there's a reason we're not living in it now.

Without having a theory of administration, that is to say bureaucracy and governance and how to beat all those big companies and actors that ruin your distributist dreams into submission, you have a considerable problem. There is no such thing as 'naturally limited government'. That these systems do not magically sustain themselves is visible in Europe with the decline of Christian- and Social-Democracy respectively whose economic and cultural foundations (largely Catholic/neo-Calvinist social teaching) started to break apart.
Sure, but if his employee had been living in, e.g., Missouri, he probably wouldn't have to pay anything near $800 a year (the minimum franchise tax in CA) like he in actuality has to, nor pay his accountant to fill out a form 42 pages long.

What would be a good alternative to Go, with

- large and well maintained standard lib
- great runtime characteristics - esp. reasonable memory usage
- developer ergonomics
- matureness
- long term stability
- preferably managed memory

I really have used a lot of languages. They all have some downsides. I like Kotlin a lot but the JVM is just to cumbersome and resource heavy. Grade is way to complex. Rust is way to cumbersome to write and lacks the standard lib. The only one that comes to my mind is actually .NET Core (C#). But I don't know mature it is on Linux for your standard backend.
Probably by an order of magnitude if you factor in all the externalities. Unfortunately, those externalities probably won't make a difference on the sticker price.
What if those citizens move to a different state or country? I think we can agree the new state's laws shoud apply exclusively. Why or how is that different from commuting into work across borders? And why is that different from working remotely?

Maybe there is a reasonable explanation for treating these differently, I just don't see it right now.
Exactly. I've had a bunch of different mortgages over the years. Plenty of them have been passed around, but I've never had to sweat the details. I just set up autopay and forget.
For another 100 bucks you can get an entry level DJI drone that blows this thing out of the water in terms of camera quality, range, features. This is a piece of trash.
This feels like the guy who said dropbox was useless because he has the ability to use rsync. Yeah the technology under Metamask is old, yeah it doesn't have to be connected to a blockchain (but it's damn convienent that it can). But it does it in a really user friendly way that has not caught on at the same level of mass adoption as Metamask has.

The great part of Metamask, is there's almost nothing proprietary about it. You could rip all the blockchain stuff out of it, and it would still work. If I wanted the blockchain stuff later, as long as it follows the standard.... I still could. Brave has it already integrated!
