China is a different story, let's exclude that.

India's requirement is 12 years seems a lot, but practically Indian citizen's path to citizenship in US is more than that(~10 years to get GC + mandatory 5 years after GC). EB1 might be an exception, which will also come around 6-8 years. But most end up waiting more than 15 years to become US citizens.

US restricts employment visas with a specific time limit. L1(7 years) and H1(6 years). After that period, you have to stay out of the country for 12 months, before you can reapply again. The other option is to apply for Green Card (Permanent Residency). So most of them end up applying GC rather than move out of the country for an year.

US has weird rules that inherently makes difficult even for employment based visas. E.g. If your visa is near expiry, then you can apply for extension. But the extension processing times takes up months. You can't travel out of the country during that period. Even if your petition is approved, then you have to go to US embassy in your country of citizenship to get visa stamped in your passport. Unless you have a visa stamped in your passport, you can't reenter US. Practically there is no visa appointment slots available at US embassies in India at this time. You are in a soup if you have to travel on an emergency

If a foreigner works in India on an employment visa, I don't think they have to run into issues what someone faces with the US immigration system. Just see what Curl's author Daniel Stenberg experience with US Visa process,

Any reason why this would be better than liquid?

Genuinely curious because we’re about to adopt liquid.
UST's (Terra) peg is the one that is totally broken. It's an algorithmic peg, with its reserves in Bitcoin. USDT's (Tether) peg is fine right now (how much do you believe in commercial paper of unknown origin). And USDC's peg is also fine right now, and they claim to be backed by treasurys and actual cash.
Wow your first link is very alarming. I was curious about this passage from that link however:

>"The installation of an additional root CA cert potentially undermines the security of all your software and communications. When you include a new trusted root certificate on your device, you enable the third-party to gather almost any piece of data transmitted to or from your device."

I understand how they could decrypt any communication between the VPN client and the VPN server but if I was already encrypting my data using a browser that wouldn't give them anything more than encrypted traffic. I do understand the overall threat of these companies installing a Root CA but is that particular passage a little disingenuous or am I missing something much more obvious?

Bitcoin is very smart. When I first learned about it, I thought it was so cool how it all came together, the combination of cryptographic security, distributed trust, even a Forth-like mini language built in. I made my own coin, I played with the source code, I made my own nonstandard protocol that used a bitcoin blockchain (unfortunately I never bought any bitcoin, but at any given time it's a terrible investment, even if it's paid off retrospectively).

Anyway, I say all this because I really find it clever, and I really wanted it to be able to do something useful, but the reality is, it doesn't. It's never going to be useful, it's been adopted by scammers and mountebanks, it has no utility and will cause so much harms in the scams that it supports.

So while it seems like a cool innovation, and from a purely technological standpoint it is, in reality it's poison. In that regard, it has (sorry for the tired analogy) a lot in common with communism. Cool idea, doesn't work at all, destroys lives. We need to let it go.
Bitcoin/blockchain brings nothing new to the table. It's a waste on nearly every facet.
"It cannot be understated, removing the GIL will be a HUGE deal for Python! It's an ugly wart which has existed for about 30 years, and nobody else has produced and delivered a working solution to the community."

The economy of France is a device that generates the GDP. Erasing that device is not the same as taking away the (one year's worth of) product of that device. If you erase the economy of France then you erase a lot of companies doing business with a substantial fraction of the world. So you shake the whole world economy not simply through erasing some money owned by someone but business connections. You'll have a lot of companies in trouble for losing either customers or important suppliers.

I Miss Heroku's DevEx
Sure, I'm not trashing the language, because I know nothing about it.

Our whole dev team is C/C++, with random people who know Python and a few other things. I'm the only one who knows Swift. They're bright people and not hostile toward new ideas, but they're already overtaxed and can't cater to an outlier project written in a language no one knows and built on a framework no one knows.
Right but it’s a social construct that’s endured across millennia and multiple different unrelated cultures.

When the Spanish discovered the “new world” they didn’t have to convince the locals that gold was valuable they’d been hoarding it too. For centuries, without any communication or contact at all.

It’s been held as a high value asset in basically every iteration of humanity that’s existed, including today’s. That’s about as close a definition of intrinsic as you’re going to get in this world.
The California jungle primaries destroyed almost all of the right wing wingnuts in California. That's practically centrist by tautology.

However, the more interesting cases are actually where there have been two Democratic candidates, and, yes, much to my irritation, it really does seem to promote "centrism". See: Harris vs Sanchez for US Senate, for example.

Now, whether "centrism" is a good thing is up for debate as history shows that the centrist position is almost always the wrong position over the long run.
Though I've been enjoying WT, there are some limitations that have bit me:

1) As a 'Store' app, it can be a pain to install in locked-down corpo networks that block Windows Store. Winget can be a workaround, or you can extract the exe from packages, but an installer would be nice.

2) Since it's a UWP app, there's no way to launch it as another user-identity (i.e. runas)

Yes, because linkedin is not the best way to get a job. Jobs are the one area you have better choices. Indeed is much bigger anyhow.

For social networks did you have a choice? Yes but your choices are join the network others are on, get others on networks you want or make friends on networks no one you know is on. This has always been like this.. if the group is going to a movie.. you can tag along, you can try to influence what movie, you can throw a party and get others to drop the movie idea.

In your case I would pick new friends and become the leader of that pack. Family I would go visit..
Laugh about it, treat it as an experience to be arrogant to them yourself , move on to the next.
What happens if the price drops below what is profitable to mine? Do they scale back or stay the course because if other miners back out they’re more likely to be rewarded a block? I guess there’s a 51% attack vector there too if the price drops too much and enough miners stop mining?
It's a funny thing, because the point of representation is that you want to group the people together by something so you can accurately represent them, but the only thing pretty much every nation has settled on is to group them by geography.

Why is that? How much of a connection does a rich white socialite in New York have with a poor custodian from an immigrant family? Sure, their representative may be trying to bring money into their district, but beyond that is it really possibly to represent both of their interests?

What if representatives could represent based on other factors, like sex or wealth or race? What would that do to the idea of representational government?

Or what if, in the online age, you could simply decide which representative represented you, no matter where they were from? Each representative could have no more than [US pop./num. districts] constituents, but they'd hail from anywhere, in some complex series of elections?

Thought experiments, of course.

Which is a reasonable point. It really follows tech stocks pretty closely.

But in my mind it’s still an unfair comparison because tech stocks generally have some kind of fundamental tangible value. It may be worth 1/500th what the market cap is, but it’s there.

I don’t see that with Bitcoin. Just insane wastes of resources and pollution creation.

My guess - tangled code mess without clear control over ownership and bean counters not approving the work of untangling all that to open things up - it's not an easy process for huge legacy codebase.
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they directly swap without holding customer funds (for any longer than the actual trade takes).
My family is dealing with the stress the shortage is causing. It really feels like a spiral. As soon as a palette hits Costco people flock to buy it all up. Unlike giant packs of toilet paper though, formula doesn’t last as long. It makes it feel like buying your limit of 2 just means you need to start looking again. I feel sorry for families that need specific types of formula or have twin babies. It’s a rough time.
This is some random startup nobody has heard of. HN likes to work themselves into a froth over every scrap of bad crypto news, but this is utterly insignificant. Crypto will continue to fluctuate wildly as it always has.
Bookdown seems to support index entries:

>If you cut the supply of gold tonight

This is very much a tangent, but my favorite fun fact is that if you got all the gold humans have ever mined and put it in one place, its smaller then you'd think. It would be a cube about 70 feet on each side. Most metals, including gold, are infinitely recyclable. There's a good chance any gold jewelry you have has quite a past, having been melted down and reforged quite a few times.
But then you're maximizing the number of "loser" voters in each district, who don't feel that their representative in government accurately represents them. Is that the goal of a representative democracy?
Thanks for the great advice, very helpful.
We just built a desktop app with QML in a CMake-based Qt project, and I've been pleasantly surprised by the experience.

Our brief experimentation with Qt Widgets, on the other hand, revealed a shocking level of dysfunction in basic UI-layout implementation, in what is supposed to be a very mature UI toolkit. But it seems that they're basically abandoning Widgets at this point, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

It was profitable to mine at a few cents per Bitcoin. It’s just about competition entering or dropping at different prices.
The comparison between the Bay Area and Atlanta is interesting. “There is essentially zero correlation - the metros with the largest rent increases had added population / added housing ratios no different than metros with smaller rent increases.”

What this seems to be leaving out is the lack of much of an escape valve in the Bay Area. Where there’s density, there could be more - with zoning changes and years of red tape. Where there’s little density, geography is against much of anything. You have serious hills/mountains, the bay and the ocean dividing things up. Where there’s land with little or no housing, there’s no drinking water and/or regulations against building and/or those areas aren’t very well connected.

Atlanta seems to be one gigantic sprawl that steadily transitions from relatively low density urban to suburban. If you can’t afford/find housing in the metro proper, just go a few miles further out.

I have heard crazy things like crypto holdings used as margin for loans. Does anyone know how big that market was?
Still can't charge and listen without yet another dongle.
In theory, the mining rate scales back accordingly. In practice, the marginal cost of continuing to mine is probably very low: miners have made the upfront investment in the hardware, and many of them are located in areas where they're receiving artificially cheap electricity (or have reopened coal plants solely to mine[1]). In other words: large mining groups probably aren't feeling anywhere near enough pain yet.

Economically, a 51% attack is unlikely: it would fundamentally compromise trust in the network, which would probably lead to selloffs and a crash.

I'm not positive on crypto in general, but they seem to have run of of their own money (capital) and not their customers' money. I.e. they didn't lose their customers' coins. Actually, it seems that they have never held them anyway. So it's not like a bank crash.

The service seems to have been making it possible for people to sell their coins directly to one another. (Crypto exchanges hold your crypto and don't do an actual transaction through the block chain until you withdraw what you have. Though they could still guarantee not losing your coins if they go bankrupt...)

This is what they said about it:

> Are my funds safe?

> We don’t hold customer funds – at the time of the trade, we send the cryptocurrency directly to your wallet. If you need to execute a trade at this time, other platforms can facilitate this.
Believe it or not but parties don't always follow their policies.
Yep. The first US Constitution was actually scrapped because it gave too much power to the people. The founders knew that would only lead to disaster, so they drafted a second one that reigned in democracy and empowered oligarchy.
We are seeing some of that in the US in the form of charter schools. We have one locally that is focused more on trades and technology, and goes all the way from middle school through high school. Traditionally, you'd go to the regular public school if you were interested in post-secondary education. Not that you couldn't go to college if you went to the charter school, just that isn't the focus. You get an equivalent high school diploma either way.

You wouldn’t have to ‘impl Idx for u8’ if implicit upconversion was a thing. If it was, we could do this with no issues:

let idx: u8 = 42;
let val = vec[idx];

As GP said, the current “solution” is to do ‘idx as usize’ which is verbose.
GDP is a flow. It would be better to compare the total assets of France to Bitcoin’s market cap. France’s public stocks have a market capitalization of over $2T alone. Then there are private firms, real estate, personal and government assets, IP, etc. In short, France’s actual worth far dwarfs that of the BTC market.

Understandably inflammation is a clear signal that your body is out of balance. Get your blood checked, test all nutrient levels, and probably get some steroids to calm down the inflammation if it is in overdrive and blocking your attempt to correct the issue.

Exchanges are auxiliary to Bitcoin. The protocol works quite well without any need for an exchange. The exchange in question is a small-time player. Back when the biggest of the big time players, Mt Gox, went under in 2014, Bitcoin came back stronger than ever.
Don't confuse the act of earning money for spending a certain time acquiring a proportionally certain quantity of money. Money is not time and time is not money. Money, in this case, represents coercive power held by the security researcher and bug bounties are a means of buying that coercive power from those researchers who would otherwise find another mechanism of extracting value from that knowledge.

It sounds like it's a business that has run out of its own money at exactly the wrong time. There's no customer deposits on this exchange in terms of crypto accoording to their FAQ so this is a case of "startup runs out of money", not "crypto is going to zero"
I went to Community College of Rhode Island (00 - 05) and I enjoyed it quite a bit and felt, while I had some weird and unnecessary courses, I actually learned quite a bit. I recommend community college of those who can't get a traditional university education for financial, family obligations, or other reasons.

In 98, I started working for an internet company (right, when the internet was becoming commonplace), and in 2000, graduated from high school. I was admitted to the University of Rhode Island and didn't like it at all -- I was commuter and spent most of the time I wasn't at school at my job. I dropped out 3 days into my second semester.

I worked for several years at that company full-time going to night school 3-4 nights a week; I went on to become a junior developer at Berklee College of Music (building their online music school), promoted to senior, and then a manager of team there. Once I graduated from CCRI, I moved to Northeastern University and did the online program, which was quite new in 2006, and then to finish my final requirements, took them at night after I worked my 9-5 at Berklee. I'm now a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University -- a top-tier research university working on resilience engineering; I'm proposing this year and hoping to defend about 1.5 years from now.

I had to take a lot of weird course during my CCRI experience. I had to take introduction to computers in 00: the professor actually gave a quiz at the start of class each week and I would show up late because I worked a real job. I failed the first semester: one of the quizzes was on using the mouse. I also took introduction to the internet. However, I basically got an immediate A because the university bought internet access through my company and I was the contact. I had to take classes on Microsoft Excel, Word, Access, etc. I passed them. This is peak 2000.

By far, the most important classes I ever took were the following:

- Intro, Intermediate, Advanced C# programming. I never did C# programming before, .NET was VERY NEW and I we wrote a few desktop programs. The professor was hard; I got an A for building a CIDR subnet calculator, which no one understood because... hey, it was 2001. I didn't touch .NET until I got a research internship position at Microsoft Research in Redmond where I had to program C# and somewhat knew what I was doing.

- Advanced Databases. While I had to build everything in Microsoft Access, my professor made our project group go to another organization in the university, interview them about their problems, and build a database and form interface for interacting with it based on our interviews. This was the most real software engineering course I ever took, until I taught CMU-313, which is designed that way. Let me emphasize the time difference here: that course I took at CCRI was in 2002/3 and I taught CMU-313 in 2021. We need more of that style of course.

All in all -- do community college if that's what you have access to, work hard, work with your professors, and it will (hopefully) not be a limiting factor.
For a lot of people, the game seems to be simply to grab the cash now and if regulators eventually come knocking, lawyer up, settle and keep most of your profits.

I remember a guy on HN a year or two ago who was very proud of the ICO he ran in 2017. The token was useless, investors lost their money, and he was fined something around a million dollars by the SEC. But to him that was a mark of pride, like he fought The Man and won. His excuse for scamming investors was basically “startups fail too, I’m a founder.”

The toxic startup hustle exemplified by Uber and some other companies ten years ago directly led to the utter moral collapse in crypto.
