So, what's next?

Taxis are user-unfriendly. You have the communication barrier with the taxi driver. Their means of getting paid are highly erratic ("The payment machine is borken, cash only"). The driver is unregulated and the level of service they provide may be problematic (I once had a taxi driver unpromptedly start listing the advantages of the historical Nazi Party while riding in Leipzig, and a taxi driver who took me on the Moscow grand tour for what ought have been a four mile trip...). And when you order one, god only knows when it will arrive.

Uber worked for customers in part because they had a unified interface to call - and see the availability - of taxi services that worked in several cities and countries, and because it took away the payment barrier (credit card always works). And you could have a look at the map and see when you would need to get out of the building into the pouring rain to catch the ride.

Some countries have since created similar schemes for traditional taxis, but those often are city and/or country-specific. Works for the urbanite who stays in Berlin, but woe upon the traveller.
Not gonna lie, I am not too hopeful about the SpaceX data privacy standards. Kinda worried about this development.

I really like "3 point estimates". Rather than a single estimate you give three - one that's your expected timing, one for the best case if everything goes perfectly, and one absolutely worst case scenario time. The difference between "best case and expected", and "worst case and expected", indicate the risk factor. If best case and expected are similar then it's a low risk feature - you understand the complexity and there are few unknowns. If the worst case and expected are similar then it's a high risk feature that you don't expect to go to plan.

I've never been in a position to actually use this approach well, but I like the idea of it a lot.
Yes, because someone said the same when zstandard came out. This may not have the same strong points, but maybe the next will… compression is not a completed task.
I’m missing something, it says these burn at 1100 degrees. There is no oxygen but enough space for me to be ok burning something at 1100 degrees next to me?
I use this as an immutable event store for an append only database implementation.
There can also be shared, mostly read-only databases, with no transactions crossing database boundaries.

For example, one database per retail store with sharded customers, orders and inventory (most transactions involve one order of one customer fulfilled from that store) and a shared one with item descriptions and prices (modified, say, daily).
Uh... In many countries, almost all academics spend a significant portion of their time applying for funding, but I'm not clear on why you think these scientists don't have a genuine interest in the "truth" lol.

Lay down your tinfoil hat.

Scientists who discover new things, disprove some other thing, reshape human knowledge or otherwise change the status quo... these are rockstar-scientists, and everyone wants to be them and do exactly that. You can't just be a contrarian though: you have to be right.
That's correct. Tomorrow. R2 open beta and a hell of a lot more.
You seemed to be missing the point, as the title states, this is now fully official, it's officially ruined YouTube, it's not a mere rant, it's highly official.
Probably on average correct, but there can be bursts.
I think the issue (read on HN a lot of comments about the subject) is that there is no unified vision/goal inside Google, there are a lot of teams with different goals and visions, but it seems that the most common goal for their employees is to get enough merits to get promoted, forget about the old project and jump into a new one (because new things give you merits to continue climbing).

I could be wrong, with no insight information this was my conclusion after reading comments and also seen too many products killed by Google, even releasing new worst products to replace old ones that were better.
The counterparty for the bid price, and the counterparty for the ask price are commonly the same person.

So when you execute both trades, you are putting a literal $20 into their pocket.
I wonder how they verified borrowers identity.

Stealing the deposits would require

a) Verification happens without any government id (I assume this is true)
b) depends somehow on the bank / smart contract authors

Then it would be trivially easy to generate huge amount of "borrowers" who simply "default" on their "loan".

I think it's worth tempering the language here.

These aren't patent trolls but companies who have been involved in codec design for decades and will be involved in ones in the future e.g. NTT, Dolby, Toshiba.

> So please stop spreading baseless FUD.

No one is spreading FUD. You have outlined a worthless termination clause given that it only applies to those who are interested in implementing the codec. That offers zero protection against third party claims like an indemnification would.

It makes sense that people who benefit disproportionately from social spending would be pro-social spending, and vice versa for people who pay disproportionately more into the system. It troubles me to see comments here acting like the rich are all sociopaths, when really, everybody rich and poor is generally going to favor what is in their own best interests.
Youtube is an infrastructure that delivers a huge segment of all video content watched today, especially from independent creators.

Youtube is faceless and without a contact process, so posting on a forum where you know Google employees are active seems reasonable to me. As its recommendation system is shaping global culture, shouting in any medium with an ear about it might not be wasted effort.
My biggest issue is that the comments on these fake videos are always incredibly overly positive. Criticism is being buried to the ground. It's the case on most videos right now.
There comes a point where the complexity itself becomes too much of a liability. It's important to be able to trust these algorithms as well as all popular implementations with your data.
Interesting, this seems to be a good replacement for xz if the benchmarks are representative.
After the dislike count is removed, I click it less frequent. If there are many people like me, the recommendation system will be affected.
I want to add that actually the best source of omega-3 fatty acids is eating the brains of animals.

However, since the mad cow disease, this has become a much less frequent choice, even in Europe, where it previously was a popular dish in many places.

Moreover, eating small quantities of fish oil seems better ethically than eating pig brains.

The need to control is greater than...

I don't know. I lack that need, instead needing people to be great people more, and they can't be great when the environment they work in snuffs out greatness.
When you buy a Logitech bluetooth mouse or keyboard, it comes with a proprietary 2.4Ghz dongle as well. Unless it's the mac version, that doesn't come with an extra dongle. Presumably because bluetooth is almost guaranteed to be available and work on a mac. It will even work when you reboot into recovery mode.

AirPods plus a mac work well too. It's usually not a fun experience when using bluetooth headphones on a PC and the microphone gets activated.

Regarding thunderbolt, it's disappointing it's not on every system. I use it all the time to transfer files between macs using static IP addresses.

I edited my post and added the "(as in higher tax percentages)", because this is the main thing that our left-leaning parties do.

We had a really shitty government for two years now, who did only one good thing, and that was to raise the general tax deduction, making our workers get a bit more net out of their gross income, and even the unions protested, because they "cared" about te governments budgets.

Now with the government change, we expect them to scrape that (because that would mean more money for the government, and the poor (their voters) would be least affected), and the paroles they'll use go along "taxing the rich". On the other hand, as you said, if you're rich, the "progressive" tax rates make it worth it to avoid taxes by funneling money around, and we (engineers, developers, etc.) get fucked, because we earn above average (and get hit with taxes hard), but still not enough to make it worthwile to do the whole tax-avoidance (legal) thing.

They don't indemnify you from patent claims.

They merely offer you the ability to use their patents to help defend yourself. But against the likes of NTT, Orange, Phillips etc patents aren't the issue, it's running out of money to litigate the issue.
Same issue for me. Really all it is showing to me is video's I've already seen. Youtube has lost it's shine completely.

Yes I actually read that paper while I was digging around but it didn’t seem to help in this case because Amazon don’t specify whether reads made after a concurrent write is made are guaranteed to return the same value as each other. If they are I think the system would be linearizable, yes? Either way they don’t say linearizable anywhere and they describe it specifically as “read-after-write” so I think it would be wrong to assume linearizability. What’s missing from this model for linearizability? S3 doesn’t have transactions after all.
Proof of Time frankly is really just Proof of Stake with a different monetize-able asset.

Not to say the time isn’t worth it, or doesn’t need to be put in. I just don’t feel like it’s substantially different (for the purpose of this conversation) to buying a house in the area. ie. The homeless can’t spend time on committees.
Since they removed the dislike count, I've watched zero technical/programming and related videos on youtube. I'm not going to sit for 30 minutes and then realise the video is a pile of garbage.
Using Steve McConnell's terms, I think of things playing out as Plan, then Estimate, then discuss the Target, and then cut features before Committment.

Having multiple people independently estimate a given problem is a more robust way to estimate, in general. Other than as a lead and a dev each sizing something up, I don't think I've seen that in practice. It feels a little weird for developers to be estimating each other's work. I think it's interesting if and only if Committment is truly separated from estimation.
Notifications need to be more intelligent — if Mary rarely posts in a channel (or joined the channel just to post) it might be worth more attention than John who keeps pressing enter mid stream of consciousness.

If you've a long running channel like a "developers channel" it probably has some bot integrations — "the last PR failed linting". It should be possible to mute these without muting the whole channel.

A lot of problems come down to company culture though. I think the hard work of fostering good practices is something outside of a tool's remit.

Maybe it should be a point on people's annual review if you want to get people to use it as less of a rubbish bin. "Sorry Peter, you won't get a pay rise this year as you sent an at-channel message to the team every day in Feb even when we told you that was really disruptive"(!) Most places don't care about these efficiencies enough though (yet). E.g. if people were as wasteful with company expense accounts as they are with other people's attention it would definitely get sorted out.
> but they'll have to pry that U2F token out of my cold dead hands.

That is a trade off between attack surface and difficulty of the "hack" though. Depending on who and where you are, getting your physical token by force is trivial. If your token is important enough, there will be plenty of people that won't shy from using violence.
During the week I'm not shutting down my Mac, only putting it to sleep. Thus, in the morning, Slack (and all the other stuff I was working) is already open so it's easy to jump back doing whatever I was doing yesterday.

Each day varies... Usually, early in the morning is the least crowded time to deploy stuff, and when I'm mostly doing mine (we're doing Trunk-based development). Other than that, is the best time for doing code reviews before the daily meetings begin. Then there are meetings, incidents to follow up, interviews to conduct, features to implement and so on.

Except this has nothing to do with Bitcoin.
One should verify the integrity of stuff like backups or archives anyway, by supplying the end user with a sha1 or better hash of both the compressed/encrypted archive as well as all of the files it contains, and by regularly verifying if both still match.
> That's important. Not hours or anything else.

Not to the bean counters. If they can get a good job out of you while distracted 25% of the time they think they could get 25% more out of you for no extra cost if they beat that distraction out of you.

It is one of those double standards many companies have: if you are needed to work extra “you are salaried, not paid by the hour, a bit of flexibility is normal and expected” but if you don't do 37.5 hours one week or are seen to be relaxing too much “your contract clearly says that you are paid to be actively on the job for X time, no less”. Luckily our current regime is far more sensible about this sort of thing, considerate even, though before that buy-out this sort of issue was on the list of reasons I was days away from walking out & burning a few bridges along the way.
YamlDotNet: Project Is on Hold
Let's look at it this this way - say you live in Texas and make $7.25 / hr. That's $7.25 * 8 hours * 260 days = $15080 / year. According to this tax calc (https://smartasset.com/taxes/income-taxes), you still have to pay $1407 in total federal income taxes, or 9.33%.

It may not sound a lot, but remember - when you're making that little money, every dollar counts. You could be living on the edge of poverty, where you just make enough money to cover your basic needs, but never make enough to save up anything.

Compare that to someone making, let's say $60k in Texas. You're not anywhere near a six-figure salary, but you'd still make 4 times more than minimum wage.

Same calculator shows that at $60k in Texas, you'll have to pay $10778 in taxes, or %17.96. Higher percentage, but you'll probably have a lot more to save than the minimum wage person in the previous example.

The "rich" engineers making $250k will have to pay 28.23% in taxes, even more than you.

Now the wealthy, they will probably never pay more than capital gains taxes at most - which is a capped figure, most places. And as others have mentioned, there's a whole industry dedicated to bringing down the taxes for wealthy people.

So while the middle and upper-middle class is bankrolling the nation in terms of tax %, I think it's important to remember that these things have to be seen in context. I have a 3-4 times higher tax rate than "poor people", but I make more than enough money to everything I need, post-taxes.
So you set a field to `null` using

{ "foo": null }

and you delete a field using

{ "foo": null }

don't you see a bit of an issue there?
So if I'm reading this right, you'd like people to 'stop posting opinions about tech on this site about tech'? How does that work exactly?
Stop clicking on click-bait, you're doing it to yourself.

Watch only "boring" / serious channels and you won't have that problem. That's what I do and I get great recommendations (tons of numberphile, computerphile, 3blue1brown, pbs space time, finance and economics... stuff like that).
First, I don't understand what the block size has to do with the number of threads used. I understand why one could consider the benchmarks unfair to bzip3 because they're single-threaded (depending on exactly one defines "faster"), but why do you say they are not fair towards bzip3 because of the bigger block size it uses? Do the benchmarks not use the optimal block size for each compression tool?

I can see how bzip3 is better able to exploit the characteristics of modern hardware, but that's not enough to call it faster. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and if the benchmarks show bzip3 is slower than bzip2 than bzip3 is clearly not faster (but perhaps "aiming to be faster", with some work to be done before it reaches that goal).

Better compression at a slightly slower pace can indeed be a good trade off. I'm not saying bzip3 doesn't work well. What I'm saying is that the "faster" in its description "A better, faster and stronger spiritual successor to BZip2" is not supported by the evidence.
This entire market is a joke. Give it 1-2 months and LUNA will be at all time highs.

There are in-memory db's that also write to disk. They can offer both persistence and crash tolerance.

I tried o e that even had a better solution to the object-relational mismatch, you just got objects, which made development very easy.
With a bit of research you should be able to come across many excellent resources that answer your question.

My personal experience has been: get very knowledgeable about some domain (in my case insurance and superannuation), get involved with many different players by doing grunt work and maintain an interest in all aspects of that domain. Over time you recognize recurring problems and start creating (speculatively) solutions, demonstrate them in the context of solving specific problems for people as you happen to interact with them. When you get a solution - problem match -- SELL!

So far I'm far from being a billionaire, but I do have a nice lifestyle and I'm happy.
I use Twist daily and it seems abandoned. There are few UI/UX problems that hurt me constantly and I don't remember when was the last time the app was updated.
> The conventional wisdom could use some updating.

how true in so many fields.
> You can interpret a null field the same as a missing field.

Not in the general case no, they are two different states, which may have entirely different semantics.

For instance a missing field can mean "don't touch this field" while a field set to null means "set this field to null".

Some schemas might opt to ignore this distinction and collapse the states, but that is a specific decision, and an express loss of information.

> You only need to worry if you have arbitrary dictionary keys and need to differentiate a null value from an missing key.

There are other situations where that's an issue, like the above, or when you're using the object as a set (which JSON doesn't have), or when you've defined the schema to never have missing fields (but possibly have some set to `null`) so clients will break, ...
I was really hoping someone had found a the mission computer and some tapes on eBay.
I heard the podcast and honestly didn't see it like this. I saw Armstrong as a driven guy that puts business first. I don't think the "non-woke" communication was intentional, it was forced. The guy wanted the company to move forward and saw himself discussing other things that were not important for the future of the company.

Where I felt it was a but empty was on the part where he talked about the mission. I felt like he's trying to find a reason for them to exist when in fact their success until today is from retail investors pumping Crypto. I don't think there's much good in the world coming from their actions.

PS I don't have any Coinbase shares.
the grey beards use to call this… art. but that is just a legend.
let me be that guy.. i have never held a youtube/google account and never have had a need to "comment/subscribe" or generally interact with anyone. for the last 12 years at least, i have had the habit of opening private window on my firefox, ublock origin is running and i open youtube. whatever fancies me for "that session", i watch it, say i am looking for DIY solar panels and tomorrow i am looking for hans zimmer interstellar score.

i do not get much of "clickbaity" stuff because i "KNOW" what i am looking for and once the video is watched for the session, i close the window and everything is forgotten.

a side effect of this is, unless i bookmark something (i rarely do) everything gets wiped so i have developed a memory of URLs/URIs/titles and stuff so i can go back.

on my phone, i use newpipe so i am "insulated" from the suggestions BS of youtube and i do not miss it.
