C'mon. Stop. You know that the government is not going around raiding crypto meetups and arresting people.

People send crypto transactions all the time and don't get arrested.

I know this. You know this. We don't have to pretend.

People use crypto all the time and don't get in trouble for it. We both know this.

I used crypto just this morning on chain. Nothing happened to me, even though I didn't send a KYC letter to the government about it.

The government isn't going to show up at my doorstep tomorrow because I used a smart contract.

Your feelings, are what is called "cope". People have been predicting for years and years that all the crypto people were going to be sent to jail, yet it keeps not happening.

Instead, the only thing that has happened, is that more and more of the entire tech industry has moved towards using more crypto.

I went to GDC a couple weeks ago, and I learned that a freaking 3rd of the video games industry is desperately trying to figure out how to add NFTs to their games.

I wonder what industry will be next? And will it ever been enough, to dismiss the constantly wrong people, who continue to be wrong about all the crypto people going to jail? Because I remember the same arguments a decade ago. Still hasn't happened yet.

I still go to crypto meetups every week, and I am not seeing the police raids, for all the illegal things that you think we are doing.

Or, in other words. Cope.

It would be nice to see some more effort put into noise. The tradeoff is shorter flight time, so I imagine that's why they're all loud.

Drones with 8 or 12 bladed props can be surprisingly quiet, with essentially no whine at all.
If it becomes ubiquitous I'd expect an underground market to form around activating features which are physically present but locked out by software.

And now I'm curious as to what the legal consequences could/would be of something like that, especially when you go to resell the vehicle later.
Its imperative that we make the transition now, as soon as possible.
Reminds me of when they intentionally enabled JFR on every single java process. Roughly sextupled our ingest (and associated costs) until we got it shut back off.
> which is why they are removing their special tax exemption status.

You are going to need to provide a citation to back up the assertion that Disney is somehow tax exempt. Disney receives no special tax exemptions resulting from the RCID, that I am aware of. Disney paid over $780 million in local, county and state taxes in FY 2021. And Florida law does not allow counties to charge it's residents different property taxes. That is why the residents of Orange and Osceola counties are facing a 20% property tax increase if the RCID is dissolved: the counties cannot simply charge Disney a higher tax rate than the rest of the county property owners.

> If they want their free speech, they need to pay for it like the rest of us.

Free speech, as defined in the first amendment, is a right afforded to all citizens of the United states. That right is not predicated on paying anyone anything. That's why it's a right. It's not transactional: a homeless person has the same first amendment rights that Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have. Corporations, like Disney, have protections under the first amendment due to "personhood" enshrined in "Citizens United" and other laws.

Your arguments fly in the face of the first amendment's core precept--that the right of free speech is not a privilege only afforded monied landowners or government. It is an inherent right of every citizen to freely criticize government without fear of retribution and to seek redress from government harm, regardless of financial status.
Just because other companies are screwing over customers more doesn't mean Apple isn't behaving in a hostile manner to customers.

>A 2015 MacBook can still run the newest OS.

Big freaking deal, a 2003 Athlon 64 machine can still run modern Linux distros. Until Microsoft went scorched earth with Windows 11, computers from 2006 could still run the most recent version of Windows. Apple has the SHORTEST OS support window for desktops and laptops overall. My 2009 Macbook can run Windows 10 21H1 (2021) but can only run up to 10.11 (2015). All of 6 years of OS support from Apple, but 12 from Microsoft and 13 from Linux.
>we don't need people hoarding homes

If you made a good enough offer you could buy it from them. Investors aren't trying to hoard. They want to make a return on their investment.
Definitely signing up for Mastodon now, does anyone have good recommendations for tech communities on there? I'm totally new to the interface.
Leaded solder doesn't produce significant amounts of lead vapor in solder fumes. Lead-free is no less hazardous with prolonged exposure.
Proof of stake only allows rich people to verify transactions, which seems to… contradict the goals of cryptocurrency.
In romance languages (and possibly others) the order of adjectives/nouns is reversed compared to english, in those languages European Union gets abbreviated to UE (instead of EU), the comment is probably by someone who uses one such language natively

It's kinda hard to notice because it's so short and similar, I hadn't noticed myself until I read your comment.

Sounds like they showed groups with extreme viewpoints, extreme viewpoints from the other side. I would expect this outcome.

What they ought to do is show them nuance and thoughtful content from those displaying a lack of bias. The see if they become less extreme.

I always thought you could snapshot directories. It’s very close to making a copy using CoW semantics.

But, then, BtrFS can do that too.
How so? Go does not prevent you from writing a monolith. Furthermore, Go does not actually require that you check the err return value of functions.
People are saving $100 to waste $240 on a piece of plastic which will be amusing for a week or two, get boring because the image quality and battery suck, and then it goes to a landfill.
Because people love taking pictures and video clips of themselves and this makes it a lot easier to get shots from different angles. It's perfect for the self-obsessed crowd, for social media influencers, travel bloggers, etc. There is already a competitor and I'm sure future products are going to be improved in terms of sensing, autonomous flying and image quality. I'm not saying Snap is going to be market leader, just that such drones are going to sell.

Also autonomous flying has been in the works for other applications for years, now it's simply trickling down to the cheap consumer level where it can get sold to people who've never operated a quadcopter before and a going to buy this as a fun disposable gimmick.

Hacking attractiveness biases in hiring? The role of beautifying photo-filters
I think you may be missing the proposed use case of private blockchains. They aren't for storing data within a single organization on trusted computers controlled by that organization. They are for sharing data across a limited consortium of organizations who don't trust the integrity of each others' computing platforms.

Also, it's not clear to me whether you're asking about PoS security too, but if so, the reason one person can't go back and rewrite a bunch of it is because the right to create blocks is spread out randomly across the entire active set of stakers. So if an attacker only controls a small fraction of the total stake, then their signature would only be valid in building a small fraction of the chain they would need.
Interesting idea, but what's to stop all those tokenholders from going elsewhere without Elon? Once you free up the ID space, what value is there anymore in Twitter?

We regulated investors into the housing market. We've created a nearly guaranteed ROI by making it impossible to build.
30 year fixed mortgages in the US typically allow prepayment with no penalty other than some relatively nominal origination costs on the new loan, so you have a free option to lower by taking out a new mortgage when rates drop, while being protected on the other side. That combined with a few other features make them an extraordinarily good deal (especially when they have a strongly negative real rate, like now).
You can get around this and export it from the great lakes if your business is called Nestle and your pipeline from the lake to the bottling facility is called the groundwater table. Its still lake water they are drawing and selling.

Metal work, and I further developed cycling as a hobby by getting serious about MTB. I started language learning as well. I started with German but switched to Japanese as I visited in 2019 and figure I may as well learn a language that is entirely different to English, rather than another romantic language.
They are creating a BI platform and wanted it to integrate seamlessly with other existing BI tools. If you pretend to be a MySQL server, you can integrate it with almost anything. There is a high chance we will end up open sourcing the library :)

The simple explanation is that more right leaning folks feel comfortable joining Twitter and more left leaning folks want to leave Twitter.

That was Twitter’s official explanation.. and it makes sense to me.

My friends are mostly left leaning and I can confirm some expressed sentiment about no longer using Twitter.
What do you think won't show up in a profiler with GC? With the right profiler I can see the entire heap as well as where every object was allocated and all those deallocations are basically free. With a modern collector like ZGC, max pause times are now sub-millisecond for collections. Also easy to measure the total GC cost in the profiler as well. The modern GC story is extremely good. The biggest issue with GC in my opinion is that it uses more memory than you strictly need.

>Asking for clarification on battery life means I'm not their target demo?

I agree that it's condescending, but it's also obvious to me that there is a growing market trend to sell to a class of people that simply buy the Next Big Thing without ever learning about it, using it, or questioning the motivations behind it.

In a way that's a great group to capitalize on, they may lack the education or desire to ask the tough questions, they don't actually use the product so you don't really need to support them well, and they tend to buy oriented strongly with advertisement.

When I see a technical product marketed this way -- bright colors, flashy every-person advertisement, zero-training-required, no real technical specs -- I always imagine that it's in that class of product. Sort of the opposite of 'prosumer' classed product.

A titch bit more useful than a Funko Pop doll until The Next Next Big Thing is released by BigCo , the firmware gets dated, the batteries die and remain unreplacable due to a lack of support for The Old Big Thing, and then BigCo drops software support due to trying to shove people into the new model, and then it becomes under-bed trash with a dangerous LiPo in it.
The vaccine prevents serious illness or death, but won't stop the infection or long COVID.

It's really about choosing between being able to live your life normally or limiting it in ways that are not guaranteed to make any noticable difference.

It looks like the former is being chosen, which i think is the right choice.

Nowadays I've tried to ask some Dungeon/MIT maintainers to set Dungeon (Pre-Zork prototype which has the Zork I-II-III games condensed) under a free license, but I had no luck.

EDIT: Also, IF6 it's pretty good by itself, the included English library it's pretty good for a common game, reimplementing new objects it's trivial.

IF7 makes that easier, but forget about playing your games on DOS and Amiga machines.
You can use it for whatever you want. It's a general purpose programming language.
I didn't read it that way. Is HN a professional context?

In this casual retelling I read it as a neutral noun describing gender.

Substitute the equivalent here with 'guy' and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Thinking harder, I guess 'gal' would have been more appropriate. But in any case I feel this reveals more about the reader and their proclivity to engage in 'culture-war topics' than anything substantial.

My comment was a bit tongue in check, where no people shouldn’t act like Americans did. BUT you shouldn’t have to integrate with “Dixie” culture, and bringing your culture with you (and exercising your right to vote) is not wrong. Americans didn’t just “bring their culture”, of course, they slaughtered locals and enslaved them and destroyed their lives. Voting against gun violence or against Christian-centric moral laws is NOT doing the same thing to “Dixie” as American colonists did to the earlier inhabitants, and is -i would say- still respectful.
Nice. I lost after ignoring a patent troll and then not having the money to fight it in court.

SWE at Exafunction here! We're not ready to be self-serve, so the contact process is the most straightforward for us to work with companies right now. But we respond fast :)

As to the tech, we have APIs closely resembling common deep learning frameworks, so once you add our Python/C++ client locally, you can change a small amount of code to start remotely using GPUs. We also have the ability to handle arbitrary stateful CUDA code for more complex use cases. On the server side, you can deploy our work scheduler inside your own VPC, so we take over orchestration for you as well.

Our customers are currently confidential, but safe to say we've seen a 5-10x decrease in cloud costs (or equivalently, the ability to fit 5-10x larger workloads given a GPU quota). It really depends on the utilization of your current workload.
You might already know (judging by the ;)), but here UE definitely refers to the European Union.
> Density divorces us from context a lot more than physical distance on a screen.

You mean "unreadable code divorces us from context". "Density" doesn't have anything to do with it until you get to the point where your code is so dense as to become unreadable.

Moreover, "physical distance on a screen" is a strawman. The options aren't density and distance, they're density and not being able to see the code on the screen at all - between which, density is objectively better.

Seeing context is always better than not seeing context, assuming equal readability. Go's verbosity is both less readable and less dense than that of other, better-designed languages.

You're just trying to soften the words here; the result is the same. Higher-income people buy properties that lower-income people would love to own, and then end up paying rent instead. Often to someone else, because many of these homes end up only available as short-term rentals.

"Return on investment" shouldn't be more important than housing people affordably.

I've owned dobermans and golden retrievers, and their personalities diverged significantly in stereotypical ways. I doubt my judgment here is a function of bias, but I wouldn't know, would I?

I also agree with the observation that there is a correlation between dog size and intelligence. Intelligence is certainly a strong personality factor, and size is correlated with breed. I think this helps explain why so many miniature dogs are particularly "yappy".

https://data.world/sharon/what-is-the-correlation-between-do...

"But overall, only around 9 percent of dog behavior was explained by breed."

That's a lot if 9% of the time one breed is trying to lick you while the other is trying to bite you. I could believe that around 91% of the time you can't tell the difference between doberman and golden retriever behavior. It depends on the stimuli.
This sort of over-zealous thinking is why I bought a loaf of bread last week that came with a warning stating it "contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer". BREAD.

The article states that the Great Lakes were created by glaciers scouring the land, and while that is true, I think it more accurate to say that the Great Lakes were caused by a failed continental rift. The Midcontinent Rift System formed a billion years ago and almost tore the North American craton apart, but after 15-20 million years it stopped and faded. The rift filled with sediment that was easy for the glaciers to scour away.

The article links to another Atlas Obscura article about how the Red Sea is debatably a sea or an ocean, because it fills part of the East African Rift System. If we're going to refer to that distinction, then please also mention that the glaciers could scour out a lakebed because ancient geology created it!

Looking at your link which by the way is from a company that rents jets, I see that the source of the 660K statistic is actually from a site called hostsorter.com

The site hostsorter.com uses a citation from muchneeded.com[2].

When looking at the muchneeded.com link I see:
"11. There are 660,000 listings in the United States."

However he citation for the above statistic is a site called pulse.ng[3].

When I get to the pulse.ng site I finally see the root source of the 660K figure you quoted. I also see that not only is the article from 5 years ago(2017) but there is no citation given at all for the statistic that is regurgitated from the previously 3 links.
