> I don't see how it makes sense to say you're paying property taxes when they have next to zero effect on your cost of living.

Why do they need to have an effect on rent for you to understand that you're paying them?

Bobby gave Lisa $10. Lisa then gave $3 to Uncle Sam. What percentage of Bobby's money went to Uncle Sam? 30%. It's that simple.
It really sounds like you are assuming people are stupider than they are.

Nobody thinks McDonald's, Hungry Man XXL frozen meals, or Doritos are good for you. People know the benefits of healthy eating. And you toss out this "stress" boogeyman as though eating unhealthy is the default.

People are lazy and lack self-control. That's most of the issue. Eating healthy takes effort that lots of people can't be bothered to expend. As you mentioned, it takes ten times more effort to make a healthy meal taste good than an unhealthy one.

Where you are wrong is cost. It doesn't cost a lot to make healthy food taste good, but it does require knowledge of flavors and a decent set spices.
Is 730 a time when most people want to set a meeting? I certainly wouldn't.

And that means the central time zone worker is joining it at 0630 and the west coast worker is joining at 0430
On demand usage can mean long term staking, you can't do that with USD, you need a crypto token. I'm not saying it's smart to do that, but that there is a need for stablecoins.
> you can pay somebody money to do stuff for you.

Yeah, but you can't tell them they can only get money from you, to do things that are in your interest. Your competitor is free to bid for their time/services/products as well.

As long as the company is not working exclusively in the interest of any single customer (in this case, the "parent" company), it's fine by me.
Not sure if there's more meaning behind the extensions than I'm aware of, but I've always liked ".io". It's clean and short, used by a lot of "tech" websites I've seen.

Or .org lol
In 1999? I mean, I did it, but I didn't think it was easy. Every single step was harder then than it is now.

What a weird way to avoid the word “extortion”.
nice tools!
what is your opinion re: the whole thing being extremely over-valuated at the getgo? We had already some solid competitors and Coinbase business model is they only make money if customers buy or sell crypto.
Same -- there are actually a bunch of tech stocks that are think are similarly a good bet right now, for example $NET (Cloudflare).

Any other things that look like good buys under the market crush?
I don't think the comment to which you respond is arguing it's never really their fault, or anything like that, so much as accepting the fact, backed by research (and yes, if you insist, I will find the citations) that there is an intense cognitive burden to managing one's resources when one is sufficiently poor.

As we all - assuming we all here on HN do relatively intellectual work - can attest, thinking and deciding have energy and exhaustion costs and we have a finite capacity after which we must recharge and rest.

And many of us are familiar with how stress (deadlines, conflicts at home, weather, etc.) tax us even further, reducing our ability to think well and decide well, and leading, sometimes, to poor decisions...

...that bring their own stress and workload.

Imagine if everyday the bulk of your decision making was literally about every dollar: heat and lights or shoes? Shoes or food? Food or healthcare? Healthcare of rent? Rent or heat and light?

You would do the same thing we do when we are coding something complex and need to make progress. You would pick a thing, do something simple that isn't really enough but is enough for now, slap hic sunt draconis in a comment, and move on. Hopefully you will get back to it.

People choose the easy, convenient, less good for them food because that gives more time to consider their other trade offs, maybe even to breathe long enough to reduce some of their stress.

And they may never get back to that choice, because the choices, the strains, never end.

Poverty is a vicious circle of stress and decline. Yes, there are people who make it out, just like there are people who make the NBA or the NHL. Most people, though, suffer. Literally.

It doesn't matter how people get poor. What matters is that poor is hard, harder than most anything most of us will ever face. What matters is that we respond with compassion and consideration and perhaps try to see beyond fault and responsibility and instead try to do something to amend those situations.
I don’t disagree. I’m sure I’m not the first one to make the comparison, but the plot line was almost like a modern rip-off of ‘FernGully’. Nothing crazy. But the 3D visuals were so mesmerizing I didn’t care haha. Another comment compares it to a ‘tech demo’, and that’s probably a good way to look at it :)
In theory an algorithmic stable coin can be moved around more quickly, since you can move the backing BTC/ETH/... more quickly than the backing USD.

In practice they are extremely fragile as seen here.
Most countries adopted the same loose fiscal and monetary responses, with the same predictable results.

> My impression after reading a lot of blogs by Emacs users is that they spend more time thinking and writing about how to make Emacs do something, than the actual thing they are doing.

I've been using Emacs for twelve years now.

I don't recall having ever blogged about it, unless we count occasional longish HN comments, usually helping answer a fairly specific question.

Selection bias may be vastly skewing your analysis here, is what I'm trying to say.
If a job is critical to society and nobody does it, the wage will necessarily increase. That is the beauty of the free market.

A job can be critical and also have WAY too many bodies versus jobs.

Your warning was wrong though. The price went up to over $300, so buying on the IPO would've been the correct decision if you also sold them at the beginning of the year.

It's just a high risk high reward gamble as everything related to crypto
There are free and open source transcoders for H264 and H265 available now, most notably FFmpeg. The symbolic dollar is for a commercially released decoder binary, but that's not the only option.

These closed formats are typically patent protected, not kept secret through proprietary encoding/decoding software.
As you probably know: (1) Those patents will eventually expire, (2) The price of a patent is immediate and complete disclosure of the technical method underpinning the claims.
Is the “3d asset creation” for NFTs? Because that’s an automatic “no” from me.

Otherwise, making the position remote (if it isn’t already) is my main suggestion. Or consider being more flexible with your requirements (e.g., be willing to accept someone without experience with your specific stack).
Whereas “thing I don’t like” is used to dismiss people calling out scams.
Yeah, I was really hoping it was supposed to be pronounced like (and a play on) "bastard", but it seems like it's intended to be a mashing together of "bash" and "retard", which... oof. Maybe I misinterpreted the small note on the pronunciation, though. If so, I'd suggest the author further clarify.
> Yes, this is exactly how he should have phrased it. "Burnt out" is a very strong term that refers to a state of extreme mental anguish induced by an unreasonable and inescapable level of overwork.

If that's the crux of your objection, we can put this to bed. From Wikipedia:

> According to the World Health Organization (WHO), occupational burnout is a syndrome resulting from chronic work-related stress, with symptoms characterized by "feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and reduced professional efficacy".

So, it's the amount of stress over time, not amount of work per day. He says he's sick of following the news every day to write about it on his blog. I can see how reading the news every day, even when you don't want to, can be stressful. Even if I didn't, the point is that he does.
Buy the dip?
> One could argue that such patents are ultimately harmless. On the other hand, it is easy to imagine such a patent being used as a perpetual fundraising machine, with the imprimatur of the USPTO lending credibility to the scam.

It is precisely the latter. This will allow the con artist to go all out advertising that their sham device is patented. It will also open the flood gates to have more kooks start patenting their nonsense.

While I think Apple's UIs do have annoyingly hidden functionality, this particular one is something you can learn by using Finder -- it's the keyboard shortcut for "Go to Folder…" in the "Go" menu. A lot of the "View" and "Go" keyboard shortcuts there work in file picker boxes, but it's true you're not going to be able to do actual file management there.

A lot of "hidden" keyboard shortcuts in macOS really aren't hidden, though; they're either right there in the menus or in the Help menu. If you're in Finder, the first item in that menu is "macOS Help," which opens a user guide…and that User Guide talks about a lot of things. And, it also links to the fairly extensive "Mac keyboard shortcuts" support article. This may be the technical writer in me, but I kinda wish people would read manuals a little more than they do. :)

PLANT landed on Earth Day as a result of changes made to the word list after Wordle was acquired. You can compare the word lists from before and after the acquisition and see that some words were removed completely, but others were moved to be a solution on a future date.

I’m no conspiracy theorist but I suspect PLANT was deliberate.

What languages do you program in, and do you use code completion/debugging?

I find that code completion is a huge productivity boost for me, as well as having a good interface to a debugger (just the debugger portion of the IDE in Jetbrains justifies the price in my mind).

In addition, smart annotations where the IDE will annotate a function call with the names of the parameters is a huge boost in languages that do not have names parameters (for example C, C++, Rust).

In addition, when you are doing type inference (auto in C++, and let in Rust), having the IDE automatically annotate the variable with the inferred type gives the best of both worlds - allowing me to avoid boilerplate and committing to a type, while also easily allowing me to see what the type is.

I am not sure I can easily get all that out of Emacs or Vim.
That page does not give a hard definition for strong consistency, it says that it uses them informally as relative terms. AWS is not claiming serializability, they call it "strong read-after-write consistency." I don't see the problem here? S3 famously wasn't guaranteed to read data you had just written for a long time, and now it is. That's significant.

Here's more about the specifics: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/Welcom...

In particular:

> Any read (GET or LIST request) that is initiated following the receipt of a successful PUT response will return the data written by the PUT request.

So this is stronger than RYW (emphasis mine).

fair, but then what is the smart contract really doing?
It appears my recollection was incorrect, and I retract my initial claim. Yeah, it was more nootropic than herbal. Yes, th "neural accelerator" that is "100% guaranteed to work within 60 minutes of the first dose." (http://www.blackhat.be/toxic/brainquicken.html is the closest thing I can find to what looks like the original marketing blurb). One should be highly skeptical of such claims, but frankly it's not as bad as it was in my memory (though still outlandish/over the top), and I'll make a note to not be quite so mean about him in future. Thanks for your comment.
Who is on the other side of transaction? Isn’t it some other [equivalently vulnerable if things don’t go their way] people?
Curious about the costs of this. Wouldn't it cost at least $13/month just in PutObject request costs to replicate Sqlite to S3 at the default of 1 sync per second? Or is it smart enough to only sync if there have been additions to the WAL?

USDC is fully backed by bank deposits and US treasuries, and is issued by a US financial institution (albeit not a bank, but an entity that is overseen by banking regulators).

In Bangkok, ads for crypto everything and NFT stuff are ubiquitous. One of the biggest campaigns says “Join the Crypto Revolution.” I’m sure a lot of people are buying into this lottery who really should not.

Meanwhile in the consumer protection paradise of the EU, I went to watch the Giro d’Italia bicycle race and there were ads everywhere for the “Official Giro NFT.”

Cloudflare is down 71% in that same period. Zoom is down 60%. Speculative pandemic tech darlings are no longer darlings and are being hammered across the board.

The cash equivalents is highly rated securities and it's unclear what they define as highly rated. They don't disclose the securities they are hedging with, plus they mention that they are actively trading with this money (so there is some additional risk even if they are trading solely treasury bonds).
I first read it as "bash retard", but then thought a little more and hoped it was a play on "bastard". But then the author later (but not very clearly) explains the pronunciation, which makes me think it's intended to be "bash retard". Not a good look, if my interpretation is correct.

> The emotions you’re expressing — awe and anger at disbelievers — are rooted more in religious sciencism than actual science.

They didn't say a word about "disbelievers" (which implies faith). They spoke of the "rise of pseudo-science and the glorification of ignorance", which are two things very much separate from belief/faith.
> I wouldn't consider an algorithmic stablecoin a ponzi scheme

I would unless it's trading paper or some other non-crypto security somewhere behind the backend.
Here's an example from this afternoon. I wrote a function that would cut an html div and paste it to a different place in the file. Then I created a keyboard shortcut to call that function, and I added a menu item for it as well. A few minutes after deciding I wanted that functionality, I had it. I've written Geany extensions too. Believe me, that's not something you'd do in a few minutes.
You have yet to substantiate that they failed, in any way.

Seems like most Ycombinator backed IPO would've have been bad bets. Once shares are floated in the public market, retailers are an after thought.
I haven't watched the video, but isn't the strategy usually to compile source files into object files, and then link them together into executables and DLLs? So you would only recompile the source file you're working on, and just relink, much faster than recompiling everything.
You can include more people by narrowing your focus instead of widening it. A knitting group should talk about knitting only and then more people can participate.
I feel for the poor, or middleclass, person who is losing on crypto.

I do not feel for the wealthy boys whom have been taking advantage of essentially free money (ridiculously low interest rates for way to long) that speculated on crypto for basically bragging rights.

I always felt crypto platforms should have put limits on accounts. A few grand at most.

If they crash--I will bet it's due to wealthy boys gambling with crypto.

Basically the only members of society that could get those 0 few point loans were the wealthy.

It seems like they didn't even believe in the movment? All they wanted was a quick buck, and bragging rights at the hootenannies they frequent.

It's the poor people, and middleclass, whom were tired of .0025% on their cd that were enticed.

Sure they should have gone with a Vanguard----but didn't really have enough to invest to make it really worthwhile.

Crypto seemed like the better option besides Lottery tickets.

The poor/middle will be able to collect a bit of interest on CD's with rates rising. I would love to get 5% on a CD.

I have no clue to whether crypto will live, or die. I still regret not buying the three graphic cards I had in my Amazon Cart a few years ago though.

I was so close to building my rig, but thought you guys were right, and crypto was a bad bet.

I have found you guys wrong on pretty much every prediction, but believe you on crypto.

Irregardless of who wins, crypto wasen't a crazy idea. I just have a feeling the wealthy boys ruined it for everyone, as usual, by being greedy with their huge leveraged transactions.

activities that generate enough suspicion for the authorities to target you (ie. civil forfeiture) but for which the authorities don't have enough evidence to convict you.
I tried to tell some of these kids. I tried. You all of a sudden hear about this cool sounding new thing and you should be suspicious. "Terra", "UST is the third largest stablecoin" and I looked at it and it looked a lot like nubits, a previous failed attempt at a stablecoin, older than ethereum. They won't listen. The thing was a scam, it was plainly obvious.
> ... and tend to have very little idea how their code actually works.

Or they know how their code works, but do not care. These are the min-max'ers who will MVP their way on every conceivable angle to grab the checkmark from the project management office and run off to get the next checkmark as quickly as they can to rack up enough for the next promotion. They look awesome on paper to metrics-staring management. They are accelerated bit rot to any organization's codebase. And to rein them in, you have to challenge them in such excruciating detail that it starts to appear like bikeshedding to outsiders.

Except the difference from bikeshedding is the code they leave behind is utter crap to maintain, extend, operationalize, debug, instrument, monitor and only tested under the happy path with maybe the handful of sad paths you dragged them kicking and screaming through code reviews to implement. They know they can out-wait you and the impatient business users in these reviews, and will miserly implement only what you force upon them in these painful, political battles.

The only way you can out them is within an organization where operations teams have the power to write out in detail the challenges with their code after taking on operations duties for awhile, and return operations to the developer with literal pager duty attached until the gaps are addressed.
Such a great feature. I’ve been using it for years and have what is effectively a filing cabinet of documents in digital form.
IMO the benefit to n-tier is that you can have multiple instances on your app tier with a single-master multi-reader database tier, and that makes the system resilient to app server crashes.

For a real-world example, some time ago I wrote an admin tool as part of a production monolith, for a rare (but frequent-enough) internal use case where a user could put in a URL, the app server would fetch the remote HTML, process it, and save the results to a database. A few months later, we start getting weird error reports that the server is crashing. Sure enough, a malformed document could cause enough recursion to exceed the Python maximum recursion depth and crash the process.

If this had been the single process running server-side SQLite, even if multithreaded and/or concurrent (with e.g. something like gevent), the crash would have taken down our entire site for however long it would take to restart the process. But since there were other app server processes eager and ready to take ongoing requests, the only disrupted user was the one trying to use that admin tool, not all the other customers using the product at the time. Said user was confused, but was very glad they didn't disrupt the critical work our customers were doing at the time!

Of course, one size doesn't fit all, and there are many services that are limited enough in scope, working with known and battle-tested components, that this wouldn't be a problem. But if I make the conservative assumption that any process that is running code that I myself wrote, no matter how simple-seeming, has a much higher chance of segfaulting or otherwise crashing than a standalone professional database... then that late-night ping is much more likely to be something that can be handled the following morning.
