The British admiralty has maintained data on ocean currents and temperatures since the mid 19th century. They operated a number of scientific studies (cf Darwin on the Beagle). I'm mildly surprised the time series starts as late as 1870.

that is the wrong comparison IMHO. if you are talking about money laundering using NFT's as in pics of cartoon monkeys (an NFT is just a digital deed, the monkey pic is actually an extension), you should be comparing them to money laundering using art.
Hence the recent crackdown on “misinformation”. Skepticism and dissent can’t be prevented, but its spread can be suppressed. Many otherwise good people have fallen hook line and sinker for the “misinformation pandemic” propaganda campaign.
Very nice. I disagree with not going to recorded ones. When is the time to watch recorded talks: never. So it is now.

And the 5 minutes talk 17 min discussion could work, but it really depends on the company. If head of e. g. darpa gives instead of a 1h keynote a 15 min teaser and then all 1000 participants can start discussing, it might not really work (as other situations as well).
I used to use HyperSwitch, but it has bugs and doesn't work on all applications for some reason. It also doesn't work on M1 macs if I'm recalling correctly.

Made the switch to alt-tab, and glad I did.
But that's not what happened. Instead, the state refused to fill the FOIA request at all, and the ACLU sued to help them.

If this had been maliciously complied with, the whole discussion would have been different.

The retail price is probably the issue. Apple isn’t really in the business [yet] of selling $200 hardware. The iPad Mini is $130 more than the cheapest iPad. Vs having a model cheaper than the cheapest iPad.

It would be funny and maybe even possible! To have a comeback as an iPad Micro and be the size of the normal iPhones or the current 13 Mini. Though I heard because of its unique size for apple hardware, some apps don’t look correct on it.

Edit: I flubbed. Apple TV has to be under $200. Maybe their Alexa competitor too.
This suggests a new line of business for SPACs: SPAC SPACs. A SPAC who's only purpose is to acquire and then spin out new SPACs.
Agree about Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission. She’s completely serious about online surveillance and has been for many years. Now she has the power to push this really far.

> ...and why combined tax rates for the middle class are around 50%.

I think you are confusing middle class and 1%.

Stats canada says middle class is $45,000 to $120,000. That is a marginal tax rate of about 30% depending on what province and where in that range you fall (quebec is closer to 40%). https://www.mackenzieinvestments.com/en/services/tax-and-est...
i have worked on several not-faang-sized-but-largish b2c startups, all of which were forced to spend a very large amount of money, time and people trying to migrate things off the one central RDBMS when it could no longer be scaled vertically. This is a real problem that you likely will run into well before FAANG size, and it really does hurt, and i think it gets minimized by the "just use one postgres for everything" trope. You should probably think about it at least a little if your planned business trajectory is into the 1 million+ users realm.

Im not saying you have to use nosql or whatever, but some sort of small future proofing (eg introducing different schemas/permissions for your different data domains inside your monolith) can help make future database seperation much easier.

If you're doing a B2B app its a different story, much harder to hit the limits of a big RDS instance.

The real answer, as in most software engineering is "it depends"
That’s right but it’s not possible without taking your hand from the mouse since you need to put your fingers on the arrow keys. I know that everyone is rather keyboard-centric on HN but some tasks require mouse usage. Also it’s a simple left hand task on windows, I’d need both hands to reach the same result.

> Neither Google nor Facebook has built concentration camps in the past. The same can not be said about state actors. Thus, private companies, especially those in some other country, are inherently more trustworthy than a local government body could ever be.

This is an argument beyond dystopian. Yes, governments did a lot of bad things in the past (and some are still doing this), but a future, where e.g. the government is only a bunch of companies that would probably really dystopian.

You see already a difference between the USA and e.g. Germany. We have decent healthcare, decent public education, a lot of consumer protection, (Hello DSGVO!).
If it would even go further, you would have a country where are no unions& employee rights, no consumer protection laws, absolutely nothing, total surveillance.

Saying that a government is less trustworthy than e.g. FAANG is really a hyperbole

At least you can vote governments out
"add" : true is not required to print first in the { ... } object syntax, which is an impediment to readability.

Actually, named arguments as such as an impediment to readability when you're already familiar with the API.

This is because they allow the order to be scrambled. No two invocations of the API have to use the same order, so you're always going to have to parse the names, which doubles the effort.

E.g. in C, memcpy(a, b, size) calls don't tell you which is the destination. But once you remember that it's the leftmost argument, it's moot., And it's better than dealing with six possible permutations:

memcpy(dst: a, src: b, size: s);
memcpy(src: b, dst: a, size: s);
memcpy(size: s, src: b, dst: a);
memcpy(size: s, dst: a, src: b);
memcpy(src: b, size: s, dst: a);
memcpy(dst: a, size: s, src: b);

If I drill down on any one of these, and read it carefully, of course there is no mistaking it, but I'd rather have it in a consistent order. Even if the arguments could be optionally labeled with names, I'd want it to work like this:

memcpy(src: b, size: s, dst: a); // ERROR: the first argument of memcpy is not called "src".

At least the darned memcpy is out on the left, which it wouldn't be if the function is also another named argument:

(src: b, op: memcpy, ...) // 24 permutations!

I'm not a big fan of keyword arguments. I've kept them out of the TXR Lisp language, except for their availability via a "parameter list macro" (a mechanism of my invention for transforming function parameter lists).

Once you're reaching for keyword arguments, it means you have a bad API. The fixed, required positional parameters of an API are usually the only part that is designed. The optionals are often less so, and keywords are just a bag of ad hoc afterthoughts which only care about getting some needed effect.
as a person often on a motorcycle, apple maps has completely won me over for directions while riding. i have found it more natural to follow and more precise (eg. lane choices, light counts) with equivalent traffic information.

edit to add - google maps directions have felt (borderline?) dangerous at times. i haven't yet experienced that with apple maps.

You may disagree with OP's interpretation, but they would hardly be the first to interpret Genesis 2:7 as equating breath with life. Job 33:4 is a more direct assertion of the "life comes from God's breath" hypothesis, and Ezekiel uses a similar metaphor about God's breath giving life to dead matter.

Jumping immediately to an accusation of dishonesty is uncalled for.
The core financial infrastructure, like DAI and Curve, is weirdly robust: it's already been through quite a few crashes that would probably wipe out traditional financial plumbing. So, at the very least, keeping stablecoins on Curve and AAVE is a way to hedge against other kinds of systemic risks to the financial sector. This feels a little crazy in the US (where we don't anticipate systemic collapse) but less so in many other countries.

The SEC has been saying for months they were taking a harder look here. Just reading the writing on the wall. All the companies that have gone public via SPAC have not done well, not sure who would go public that way - I imagine no one will be holding the bag because most will give the money back and go away
Off-topic (and hope the conversation doesn't digress too much): when is it ok for someone to monetize an open source project and when is it not?

I've read over the years how people get super upset at Amazon for taking an open source project, (sometimes) adding some code to it and then host and monetize it. The argument being that Amazon is monetizing on the backs of countless open source developers. Hence why the Common Clause has been added to a number of open source projects to prevent this from happening.

Supabase seems to be loved by HN (haven't tried it yet but looks interesting).

Isn't Supabase just a wrapper around the open source Postgres database (which is BSD licensed)?
> And I assume, in the final stage of a SPAC’s lifecycle, there will be de-listing, liquidation and/or distressed debt fees.

It cannot be tolerated because people are willing to commit and support acts of violence against those that use repugnant free speech. Whether it can be tolerated is orthogonal to whether or not it should be tolerated. I am merely commenting on the observation that more people than ever cannot tolerate free speech.
For Mac users asking "how is this different from the keystrokes I already have", this app is designed to give you Windows-style switching which is subtlety but fundamentally different from OSX-style window switching.

MacOS is app-centric, so you have a keystroke to switch between apps and a keystroke to switch through the windows of the app. Windows is window-centric rather than app-centric, with a unified window stack so a single keystroke (Alt-Tab) always takes you to the previous window, regardless of what app is responsible for that window. Repeated Alt-Tab's take you back through your most recently used windows, regardless of the Apps involved.

OSX users generally can't imagine not knowing what apps their windows are associated with, and Windows users generally can't imagine being expected to care what apps their windows are associated with.

The difference is largely a historical artifact of the Macintosh operating system not originally supporting "multitasking." When the Mac first came out, it could only run one application at a time. If you wanted to switch between a spreadsheet and a word processor you had to close one application and open the other. Then the concept of a "switcher" was invented, which gave you the sense that the Mac was running multiple applications because it could do app-to-app context switching behind the scenes to make it feel like you were running multiple applications simultaneously. All of this meant there was no OS-level concept of "the window stack" there was only an app-level concept of window history, and a separate OS-level concept of app history.

Windows launched after the Mac, into an era of slightly more powerful processors and better understanding of user behavior on truly multi-application devices. These differences led Microsoft to adopt an OS-level unified window history model. Apple undoubtedly discussed the idea, but even by the time Windows launched Mac users were fully accustomed to the Mac's windowing model and would have complained mightily at the conceptual switch had it been attempted then or at any other point in time.

The more time you spend in one ecosystem, the more natural its approach feels to you, because you adapt to your environment over time.

I completely agree about the unimportant details. It frustratingly cuts up a long stretch of freeway into alerts to stay left or right at unimportant exits. This often encourages me to be on the wrong side of the highway especially if it’s telling me to stay left at a small road exit when a mile later I need to be in the right lanes for a freeway split. It’s definitely gotten worse this past year
Thanks for the advice, I frequently struggle with cmd+` since I have to use both MacOS and Linux regularly. Actually to remap cmd+` to option+tab there is no need to use any third-party apps, the settings (at least in Monterey) are available under System Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts->Keyboard->"Move focus to next window".
I am not surprised. The EU consists of a bunch of bullies that force their views on member countries. Abide, or be sanctioned and bullied into compliance. Leaders of members countries are being bought to encourage membership. And when the people vote against it, there will be a new vote next year. And once you've joined, you can't leave out of fear of sanctions.

FYI that wattage is quite a lot, if you get it cheaper by hosting it on someone else's server (aka cloud) then they've either got a more efficient server or they don't factor externalities into the price (at €.75/kWh it sounds like you're paying for Climeworks to compensate your CO2 emissions).

My words are not based on theory but actual practice: I had videos I didn't like on my YouTube homepage, and I didn't click them, and after a little while they went away. It's as simple as that. My Google News feed is the same way.

Don't click the dislike button, rather don't watch the video at all. (Dislike means this video is bad not this topic is bad.)

The videos on my homepage exactly match the videos I watch. Exactly. They are often boring since I want something new - but I can't complain that YouTube is messing with me in some way. (Same with Google News - sometimes I want something new, and it's not there - it's always the same type of stuff.)

People who have videos that displease them on the homepage are watching those videos, and then complaining. "Guilty pleasures" basically.
Yes, it's so very obviously useless for the stated purpose that you've got wonder why they want it so badly.
Tricky to say unfortunately as there's no single asset class that is looking rosy. If I were to say a very coarse average is that sophisticated institutional investors have de-leveraged their portfolios across all assets and are likely to be trading only higher frequency (that is intraday, but not necessarily microsecond) risk and few people hold anything long term.

Furthermore, I believe it helps to think of instruments in two terms: linear and convex. Linear instruments are like vanilla equities, index futures, bonds etc. Convex are various options, variance swaps etc. E.g. you may be still hanging on to some bets on energy going up by holding the futures, but you'd have bought some deep out of the money puts in April with the expectation that the current energy prices are what is termed "demand destroying". E.g. near term prices can further rise indefinitely on supply shock problems, but at some point the actual consumption will be destroyed and this can cause prices to crash down even if supply doesn't return. So you'd end up with a complex portfolio that has both linear and convex sensitivities and is difficult to characterize simply as "long energy, short equities" or similar.

Currently, there's a fair bit of convex exposure. This results in second and third order effects and feedback loops: if people hold too much convex exposure, then significant moves in the underlying price will trigger exponential moves in the convex instrument prices, which require people to do exponentially larger rebalances in the underlying - as counterparties need to hedge.

All these things currently combine into very unstable market conditions. What is different from the market instabilities between 2008 and 2020 is that now there are no policy tools to buttress this. Central banks have but two options: do nothing, or tighten conditions.

Most of the outlook is thus a mixture between recession or stagflation. My personal view is that things will eventually recover. That's what always happens. From a sufficiently long term perspective, the 1920s recession is just a blip. For my personal retirement savings, I'm just continuing with buying regular smaller amounts of equities across the globe. In this sense, I'm bullish on humankind (we'll prevail).
I tried to make it through the article, but I bailed about halfway through, and skimmed the rest.

I’m having trouble buying into the sentiment. It seems like just a big long negative rant about Bitcoin, NFTs, & crypto/ blockchain in general. Kind of just rehashing all the typical straw man criticisms of ‘crypto bros’ or early adopters.

While these things are an aspect of Web 3.0, they are not the end all be all. There was no mention of other decentralized technologies. Things like Mastodon or Matrix. There is a huge selection of self-hostable, decentralized software projects available to us now. Nextcloud might be another good example.

The point is we want to move away from highly centralized closed source services, that track our every move for profit, and we have no recourse over if something goes bad. We want to embrace open source, freely available software that we are in full control of. Web 3.0 is more than just crypto currency.

I think the title of this would make more sense if it said, “Cryptocurrency & Blockchain Must Be Destroyed”.

Unfortunately not! Embarrassingly, I haven't implemented pattern matching yet, which means functions like `sum` and `filter` can't be written. So far all my effort has gone towards the metaprogramming system. Bugfixing has me occupied at the moment, but after that I plan on doing pattern matching.

Why is that surprising? There is no proof that transwomen are any more likely to rape ciswomen than other ciswomen are.

On the other hand, it is well known that transwomen are much more often the victims of rape by cismen, if living in men's prisons.

If anything, I would think the biggest problem here is the fate of transmen. I doubt a ciswoman would feel very comfortable sharing a cell with a transman, but a transman also has much higher chances of being abused if sharing a cell with a cisman.
