They completely miss their own point. If the web lost "discovery":

> The internet is worth exploring again because web3 reintroduces a difficulty curve to our online experiences. Either intentionally or otherwise, projects are layered with subtle details that leave a lot for explorers to discover.

A "difficulty curve" is not "discovery". It's a difficulty curve. And they further elaborate that what they really mean is just "doing work":

> Let’s take a basic example of learning about web3 or diving down the rabbit hole. Depending on your approach, getting your hands on some ether can be very easy or difficult. On a centralized exchange like Coinbase, you can do it in a few steps. But on a DEX like Uniswap, you’d need a non-custodial wallet like Metamask or Ledger. Coinbase is easy, but Uniswap is not. But those that choose Uniswap will also learn DeFi in the process.

How is this akin to the organic discovery of the early web?
The Hackerverse will handle this as it handles most things - it will be viewed as damage and routed around or it will be considered irrelevant and accepted. If the language elements themselves are transliterated, there would have to be a formal standard to relate the elements-in-English with the element-in-Spanish so that the compiler can do a Pass to convert them into the supported input. Or, front-ends could be cloned which strikes me as more brittle (changes to a larger code base).
I think this is the right move for most upper middle class folks.

Many big developed and developing countries are increasing their taxes on young people to fund unsustainable pension systems. They are introducing exit taxes, world wide citizen obligations, compulsory reporting overseas, and restricting ease of moving your business elsewhere.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pensions_crisis

Look up pension bombs. If you predict population will stop growing, who will pay for elderly pension and healthcare where majority of funding goes in developed countries?

In times of covid, countries like Australia had greater restriction than China.
I still go in to my office occasionally. Every time I do I get very little actual work done. I chat for hours with my colleagues, we play board games over lunch, and we generally just show each other our side projects and discuss pain-points about our work

This is great one day every couple of weeks, but I get way more done at home and in far less time. So that I have more than enough left over to exercise and appreciate my day

My experience with programming is that if it's not happening, staring at a screen in an office won't make it happen faster. Stepping outside to go for a run, enjoying nature for a bit, picking up my kids up early so I can spend time with them (and then working at night when they're back to sleep) feels far less wasteful of the time I have on this Earth than commuting to a building where I am essentially stuck for eight hours before I can do anything else
> As a non-deaf person (as of today), I will be checking this out because such apps and features could be helpful for ordinary people too.

While the intention behind the post is clearly good, and I like your emphasis—in the spirit of "accessibility helps everyone", a message that always bears repeating—I would encourage you to stick with "non-deaf" (as you did at first) instead of "ordinary" as the opposite of deaf.
its possible that what's bad for the billionaire is good for the rest of us. They could just maintain these backups in to evade something like a wealth tax.
It’s a such a coincidence that those are the same talking points the employees were forced to here during the many mandatory meeting. Also interesting that the NLRB found those forced meetings illegal.
There’s been a move away from requirements for CS degrees in software development over the last decade or so, but that shouldn’t mean that key concepts like asymptomatic complexity are not needed, only that they are sometimes understood at a more intuitive and less academic level.

The author is a senior engineer, I have no doubt that they could describe difference between a linear and polynomial-time algorithm and the potential concerns with the latter even if they might not use that terminology because of a trend against academic-sounding lingo.

In Calgary I've used a parking machine that asked for a lot number. That is on a sign as you enter the parking lot. As if this machine could not be programmed to already know which lot of was permanently installed in.
As I recall (only as a contemporary user of search engines, and having no special knowledge), Google didn't just have a key innovation in PageRank (which was patented), but also took the idiosyncratic (at the time) architectural approach of horizontal scaling with commodity hardware (sometimes held together with Lego).

Altavista (supposedly) famously ran on a single "pizza box" Alpha server as a form of stunt marketing. There were other competitors that were invested in Oracle licenses and similar "big iron" approaches.

There was also the small matter of monetization. Google more or less refused to incorporate ads until they came up with a non-user-hostile capability. Their various competitors had advertiser-driven paid ranking, or "punch the monkey" banners, or other forms of shit sandwich users were supposed to accept. In general, the harder a search engine tried to monetize, the slower it's growth, unless they funneled their own revenue into marketing and advertising. When Google finally came up with their contextual search ads, users actually liked them and it was as if Google turned on a magical faucet that gave them money AND more users, and were able to scale to meet demand with more inventory.
Maybe going all the way to legally accountable is a bit much but the incentive not to waste other people's money is too damn low these days. You see it in every context and it's so frustrating.

Is it possible to "learn" Powershell?

My very limited experience has been: look up problem, find likely solution, enter 60-character command specific to this niche issue that I'll only ever have to use again in this exact situation, which is now solved until next reinstall.

Having said that, those are the only situations in which I've needed to use powershell.
Captcha is effective at stopping a lot more fraud than $1B worth.

Is it perfectly effective? No, but it stops a massive chunk of otherwise easy-to-execute fraud.
Without strings, one will probably want to manipulate atoms in various ways. As a start, l1 introduces the notion of "splitting" (creating a list from an atom or number) and "fusing" (joining such a list back together again)

"Fission" better than "splitting" surely? ;)
That sounds like a free rider problem: No, I don't "support" the bike paths, so I don't pay for their upkeep, but I live in a better city for their existence, even if I don't even own a bike.

Similarly, I don't "support" the hospitals, right up until I get cancer and spend over a month in-patient receiving some very expensive therapies.

Nope. IVR (voice & touch tones) has always been an option. i.e. "Enter the location number on the sign. Enter how many minutes you wish to park for." We invested a lot to ensure dumbphone compatibility. Some say it's faster than an app.
It isn't week will. It is a lack of confidence. Kids are socially aware. Group dynamics are more important than grades. They don't like doing anything on their own because that risks doing something that might not be socially acceptable. Studying with a partner means constant validation that studying is a worthwhile activity. It is like a young dog that will not settle until it sees another dog do so first. So it isn't lack of will rather the very modern need to comport with social norms that drives people to stream someone studying. It validates their decision to study too.

Think of echo chambers/bubbles in politics. People think one thing, then find other people online who think the same. Finding other people saying the same things then reinforces their beliefs. So someone wanting to spend a few hours studying finds someone online doing the same, reinforcing their choice to study.
That's part of the issue though, isn't it? Someone paints over the keyboard and you have no idea where anything is because it's not a normal layout for a keyboard. If it was QWERTY and then a numpad, some people would be able to use it blindly, or pull up their phone to check positions.
Your first and second paragraph seems contradictory or unrelated. Could you explain a bit more?
An Inflation Puzzle
Very interesting. For years now, I have a similar project in the back of my head, with the same Captain Future inspiration - a small flying drone with a speaker box and a personality (voice assistant) basically a flying wisecracking Alexa.

Therefore I'm excited for the next installment of the author's project.
It usually goes like this… get out phone, download the app, need Apple password to add an app can’t use face id, checkmate my apple password is too secure to remember. I don’t have time to reset and it’s a PITA anyway. Even if you have the app you can suffer from the combo of poor cell reception and wifi with no internet hijacking your connection
Some of the programs are rife with fraud by accident, some (many?) are rife with fraud by design. In my state the contracting system to do things like build roads is rated the most corrupt in the country. Does anyone imagine that's an accident? The PPP gave out "forgivable" loans to small businesses. It was sold as helping businesses that closed down. I know multiple small businesses that never shut down, had their best year ever during the pandemic, and also took home a few hundred thousand dollars extra from the PPP. The general public would consider this fraud, even though technically it's all by the books, broken by design.
I think I finally figured it out recently.

Concurrency is an I/O parallelism technique. One core can make 10,000 TCP connections at the same time thanks to async, golang lightweight threads and whatnot.

This is useful because many I/O operations are high latency. A TCP connection, like HTTPS, takes high latency but the I/O device supports many operations.

-------

If you are I/O latency bound, you use concurrency to increase performance. Even with one CPU, concurrency or I/O parallelism helps a lot.

But if you are CPU bound, you need to use totally different techniques (parallel processing)
I'm pretty sure sed ${N}q is supposed to chose the N (or k) top choices, where N is given as an argument/variable.
(Going off of the fact that head is essentially sed 11q, where it quits on the 11th line.)

But yeah, head -n (--lines) would do the job here perfectly while being more readable, no clue why it wasn't used.

To renounce, you first have to meet several criteria:

• You must hold citizenship of another country, so you don’t become stateless.

• You have to be up-to-date with your U.S. tax filing, with the past five years submitted.

• You have to attend an exit interview at your nearest U.S. consulate or embassy.

• You have to pay a $2,350 renunciation fee.

• If you have financial assets worth over $2 million, you may have to pay a one-off exit tax calculated as a capital gains tax as if you sold all of your assets on the day you renounced.

---

At least two of those points seem to be pretty prohibitive, if your goal is to avoid taxes on money already earned...

These pay-by-app parking setups are everywhere in Sweden, each parking owner has their own app, so you run around with a dozen shady parking apps on your phone.

It seems that is now being replaced by the app being optional - if you don’t do anything and just park and leave, you get a bill in the mail for the time your car was parked, based on license plate recognition. No signups, no parking tickets, just park and leave.
No. I did not.

I think this is a really interesting discussion. I'm a bit of a nomad myself and cautious of the things you bring up - if everyone behaved like this, there'd be no community development and things would decay. But, you already see this in more common situations, like the movement of young people to cities, e.g.:

Sure, and if I may I'll politely rail back as a former hiring manager... :D

I have no doubt that the senior software engineer with plenty of .net/python/whatever experience could pick up the needed JS if they were given the position. But there's going to be extended ramp up time as they familiarize themselves, they won't know the libraries let alone their intricacies and idiosyncrasies etc, they won't have a lot of language specific fresh approaches and experience to inject into the team (which I'm looking for in a senior+ role). I would rather just hire someone who already has the deep bench of JS experience at the same level.

Language agnosticism and general intelligence should be applauded far more than the industry currently does.

The reason for this is because I'm not hiring for the craft of software engineering, which your perspective aligns with, I'm hiring to achieve business objectives quickly, efficiently and to a high standard. Not realizing that most hiring businesses are optimizing for the latter and not the former is what trips a lot of career software engineers up. You see yourself as a craftsperson, the employer sees you as a resource to achieve their business objectives.
Fastmail's spam filter is great if you are willing to put some minor effort. Read this: https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000278142-Im...

Fastmail works great for me. I do not miss any emails as junk nor do i get any junk in my inbox because of using the methods explained in the link above.

Of course, it's all tied up with state government too. You need to be a resident of some state to get a driver's license. And no high tax state wants, say, Nevada to offer state residency that puts your name on an office door in exchange for an annual fee. Then there's voting/jury duty/etc.
"If you hire 40 goons to guard your furs, those goons could physically overpower you and take your furs for themselves."

^ At best they get to split the furs up among 40 people instead of 41.

(And if the 1 removed is actually doing any work, there's also more work to assign.)

There's little reason for any individual goon to think they're going to get a better deal this way. Let alone enough to compensate for the risk.

Removing the guy who takes "the lion's share" produces someone new to take the lion's share.

Unless they think they can do away with that entire structure. But then they have to believe they can change everyone's behavior all at once from collectively enforcing inequality to collectively enforcing equality.

The kind of social structure that makes this possible is the kind of social structure that the powerful person will make sure can't arise (by controlling information, removing potential leaders, etc.)

To be fair, people who are on the other side of the proverbial fence issue across you also see the same problem.
You assume that the SSN is some kind a magic code. The government has long undermined the use of the SSN for accountability or fidelity. It’s essentially a slave/serf/property tracking number, the fact that it is abused by con artists/criminals is wholly immaterial to the rulers. It’s why they don’t care that fraudulent SSNs are being used by illegals too.

You are making assumptions about the motivations of the system being of good faith. There is ample evidence and multiple proofs that such is not the case.

The same applies to the whole education funding scheme, including FAFSA. It’s essentially a money laundering scheme to support the financial enslavement of people through debt in order to participate and be conditioned as an alpha slave that is also locked into the system financially.

There is no incentive to lower the cost of “education”. The incentive is to lock you into having to pay off more and more tokens/currency that you get for doing favors for your masters. The only reason why the rulers are even just toying with the student loan debt forgiveness is because there’s a slave revolt brewing among certain segments of the body of slaves/serfs.
This is to prevent fraud and who knows how many other problems. Changing email ids is the best way forward. I've never seen anyone post about how they got a Google account back.

Note: I don't work at Google, but this is my logic. If there were cases of people getting hacked by social engineering of the account provider, can you imagine the backlash?
We all know that Java is slow to start up, because many don't learn how to use JIT caches or AOT solutions that exist for ages.
No idea if the study streamer in the article does this, but a lot of popular streamers make it a priority to interact with their viewers - e.g. CohhCarnage, Day9, Pestily. It's a great thing to do if there is some amount of 'down time' between games or during loading screens and such, but from what I've seen it does help make their viewers feel more heard and such.

In the article they mention he studies with a pomodoro timer, so I guess he interacts with the "stream chat" during the off time and such.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Definitely not for everyone! But I can see the appeal.
However the 3-row layout is mostly the same everywhere so it would just be a matter of swapping plastic overlays & keymaps in software.
Investing in the stock market has the general assumption that, a priori, stocks are more likely to rise than to fall at any given point in time. Under that assumption, the all-at-once strategy has the better expected outcome. Of course, you can be unlucky and end up buying the all-time-high just before a crash. You can avoid that risk by splitting up the investment, at the cost of lowering the overall expected value. So it’s more about how you feel
about that risk, and whether you feel avoiding it is worth having a somewhat lower expected return.
> most computer systems since the early 1970s

How are you defining "most"? Back in those days there was much more diversity in the computing landscape.
This is contract to hire which is perfectly valid but not something most companies will agree to.

I think it’s due to conflicting goals. The department hiring wants to lock in the employee so they can cross it off their todo list, and fix the cost. They don’t want to train a consultant who’s still lining up other work. Once the consultant has been trained he or she is in a better negotiating position since they haven’t agreed to a salary yet.

Corporate wants to require a probationary period so they can wiggle out of it with least expense in the unlikely event they have to.

Ideally after a probationary period the employee can renegotiate their compensation, but this is seen as bad faith and holding the company for ransom and creates bad feelings.
> Barclays gave me an error in their app at the end of their account opening process,

Don't take this personally, every Barclays customer experiences random error messages as an everyday benefit of banking with Barclays. The only good thing I can say is that they still have physical branches where you can walk in and talk to a person who is usually nice and helpful.
He’s bankrolling a truly odious class of disingenuous goon political candidates who are bent on rolling back not just civil rights for half of Americans but basic things like contraception. Just look at what his protege Blake Masters is tweeting and you’ll get the picture pretty quickly. That’s the “Plan B” reference.

I know HN loves Peter Thiel (who also happens to have bought citizenship in New Zealand to bring his fuck-everyone-but-the-rich mentality there too) like fat kids love cake but I didn’t think I’d be downvoted so quickly for mentioning his obvious role in undermining Roe. C’est la vie. He sucks, and I pine for the day I can say that to his, Rabois’, or any of his enabler’s faces.

They have. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_(EU)_2021/555

This stupid thing almost caused Switzerland to leave the Schengen area, and it upset a lot of countries that didn’t want anything to do with it.

At least the complete ban on handguns (that the Netherlands wanted) didn’t happen.

As a firearms enthusiast in the EU, this actually upset me. Not that it affects me too much in the country where I live (I just can’t have 30rd mags, which is stupid, but it could have been a lot worse).

It feels like the vast majority of the comments are negative towards the stock market and essentially saying “we may not recover this time”. The thing is, we always think that. We always think this time is different. We always think this might be the end. When Covid struck? It was different because the world economy was shut. When 2008 happened? It was different. 2000? Different. 1987? Different.
Markets will eventually recover. It will not take you 4 decades to recover. Sure, it could take years. But buy good companies, dollar cost average, and realize your loss isn’t realized until you sell.
Also realize that the best time to buy stocks is always, but especially when people are flooding forums with negativity.
With abortion being made illegal, senile presidents, Capitol invasions, rampant poverty, homelessness, crumbling infrastructure it has become clear that the US is on its way to becoming a failed state like Afghanistan. I think a lot of smart people are seeing the writing on the wall and making escape plans for themselves as well as for their future generations. When Rome falls, not all the wealthy Romans do.
