The majority of people in crypto draw an intensely bright line between what Luna is doing, what Tether has done, and what Dai or even centralized fully backed stablecoins do. Maybe you should take off the sunglasses.
Using Terra (a centralized ponzi chain) to attack all of crypto is peak cope; its peak strawman. If merkle trees aren't so hard to understand you would put your effort into thinking about how stable stable coins work rather than using the market swings to affirm your biases.
I use for some websites a Yubikey. But for me it feels very "blackbox like". I did read about a lot of functions on the internet, but I'm affraid to play with it, because I won't break anything. Also in the end, there is allways a second password for emergency. So if your password list leaks, the emergency password leaks with it for most people I guess.
FIDO standard by itself is a great technology, very secure and very well-thought.
You can login to a service only if you possess a hardware token, which can't be cloned. Also, it automatically saves you from phishing sites.

But I share the fear of others that integration of this standard, curated by the top management of mega corporations, will lead to diminishing of its advantages.

FIDO keys give power to users, which is a threat to power hungry monster corporations.
The sample image [1] of the author shows 'AVATAR' with much less spacing between A and R, which looks much better in my opinion.

James Webb works mostly in IR range or close to it. Near-infrared, mid-infrared.

ps. Hubble was not the largest optical space telescope before Webb. It was Herschel that operated in Lagrange point (L2) 29 April 2013 - shut off on 17 June 2013. https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Missions/Herschel/(class)...

What you can expect is sharper Herschel.
For the same reason we teach them more advanced mathematical theorems or other scientific knowledge:

- Because it's good for their personal culture to know that this field exists and have a rough idea of how it works, and programming is the type of job that everyone knows it exists but not many people really know what it really is.

- Because it's the type of knowledge you don't get to build on your own unless your parents work in that field so many kids might actually enjoy it but would never know it until they try it. I see many comments saying "if they're not interested then they shouldn't do it", but how can they know they're not interested if they've never tried it ? They can't, they'd base their assumptions on stereotypes, which learning programming would help breaking and maybe encourage more people, especially girls, to give it a go if they like it instead of thinking it's just dark magic for nerds.

- Because in the age of everything-computers and everywhere-internet, understanding basic code and basic algorithms helps demystify the myth of "it's all the Algorithm, that magic black box that nobody can control" that companies love to use to not have to explain to their customers what they do with their data. I'd argue knowing the basics of how a computer works in 2022 is as important as learning how to pay taxes or how to cook (which we also do not learn in school), because it's everywhere in your life and you WILL interact with it no matter what.
Transfer $10k or whatever is deemed to trigger AML detection at the bank? Probably worse is accepting 1000 x $10 like people who are … running a business.

Stories of paypal cancelling a business because they locked up all the revenue were quite common when I was interested in that kind of stuff a few years ago.
There's no expiration time per se (though maybe that would be a nice feature at some point?).

Storage is very cheap at the host I'm using but maybe at some point I could track tables that aren't being used and (reversibly) archive then to S3 or something
Windows 10 does not include a license for H.265; you have to purchase it separately[1]. There is a very well hidden, free "from device manufacturer" version[2], so unless you know about it, you have nearby zero chance finding it.

Linux distributions and Firefox do provide H.264 support via openh264; it is sponsored by Cisco, who are already in the flat license territory, so all they have to do is track binary downloads (that's why they are separate download, or repository respectively). It also plugs seamlessly into linux multimedia framework (Gstreamer), so it is on the same level of integration, as Media Foundation codecs in Windows. There is no H.265 equivalent, still.

The hardware based encoding is not equivalent to software one; it is optimized for dumping compliant streams with low latency, it does not concern itself with effective use of the bits available. I.e. exactly what software based, offline encoders are good at.

> what's the difference between sitting on say $500MM in cash, and $800MM?

At least $15M a year over most 3 year horizons, or the insane compounding effect of $300M invested over the long haul. Your question makes sense from a "normal" perspective, but doesn't once you're UHNW [0].

> It's either way going to be more money than you'll ever be able to spend.

Not even close. At UHNW levels there are whole classes of things to "spend" on that ramp pretty quickly into 8, 9, 10+ figure values. Influence, power, status, prestige, legacy, ideology, politics, rinse, repeat. And the UHNW "brackets" are a real thing (you're either in the tres commas club or you're not, etc).

Sure, pay your taxes. But once you crack these numbers there are entire industries dedicated to helping you work the system, and it's unfortunately pretty workable (because there are substantial interests lobbying to make/keep it so).

This can only be true if you hold humans in such low regard that you think they cannot make an informed choice about where to work and under which conditions.

Any example of a cooperative usually descends into chaos, an example being worker's unions which descend into criminality, corruption and pure evil (teacher's unions regularly defend sexual predator teachers, for example) more often than not.

It's also a pure fallacy and just plain wrong to suggest I claim profit from Cloudflare. Cloudflare has not and does not issue dividends, meaning all of the profit is reinvested in business operations or goes to the workers.

As an investor, I don't see a single cent of profit in this case.

It is very different and the top commenter clearly has a dog in the fight. Also modelling your stablecoin off what Terra has done, even to critique stable coins, is foolish.

This is essentially what you do by necessity when attempting to block bots through browser checks, as bots are just unmanned browsers. This is bound to keep happening, especially with regards to more obscure browsers few people report on.
Yes, if the top 1% paid their fair share, they would pay more than 33% of the country's taxes. But nevertheless they do in fact pay 33% of the country's taxes.
But it seems they do try to participate in the market in order to move demand so that the price stays at 1. Which is just not how UST is designed at all. So I’d like to understand the difference.
Please provide evidence - virtually all current evidence points to the exact opposite of basically everything you've said.
Seems like you need and try to convince people around you to vote for a party that wants high taxes on the rich (that include wealthy politicians), transparency on public expenses, public data on politicians resources, democratic control/revocation of elected representatives/public servants ? And forbid money owned medias by controlling their finances too ?
There are only two ways to take down an oligarchy, a revolution and its unavoidable oligarchic backlash with the help of antidemocratic violent forces or use of the Democratic tools that the oligarchy had to concede throughout the accidents of history to divide it further and reinforce democracy.

Gaining money, then losing it all still leaves you in a better position than not having had the money in the first place.
This is "context collapse", where what was once a private thought is posted as or responded to as a public one, because the platform doesn't make the distinction.

It's one of the big problems with social media. Outside of social media, we act differently in professional or public contexts from private ones. Context collapse merges them to great detriment.

> If we want to address global climate change, then we need to look into minimizing total energy put into things like food. Often that will mean growing things where they can grow most easily, with the least amount of energy.

The big issue with agriculture and environmental disasters like climate change and biodiversity loss is land use patterns. That implies a need to drastically replace consumption of very land-inefficient uses like beef with mostly plant based foods.

But yes, I completely agree with you that 'food miles' is largely a distraction.
Assuming you dont want to take fish supplements.
Carnitine (L or N Acetyl) because Carnitine although made in the body helps the body use fatty acids as energy in the mitochondria.
Limited studies because obviously it cant be patented and a decent study will cost in excess of £/$/€1million, but existing studies suggest the above, it only seems to have an effect on those who are obese which would seem logical, and it also works on aging humans perhaps because the amounts produced by the body decline with age. It also seems to help with depression so the comfort eating may decline.
Its also linked to glutamate, glycine and something else in the brain but studies exist in the usual places and some medical experts also discuss it on Youtube if you cant interpret the studies found in places in like pubmed or google scholar.

The only suggested risk with Carnitine is an increase in something called TMAO (Tri MethylAmine Oxidase) its what makes fish and vagina's (trimethylaminuria) smell this can be elevated with Choline or Carnitine if certain bacteria exist and although TMAO is thought to help contribute to atherosclerosis, Fish which is touted as healthy like here is also high in TMAO, so there are questions over whether TMAO is actually good or bad.

Some seeds also have omega 3's and 6's, they are precursors for CBD, but you'll find the Omega's in most diets so if you dont want it to be used for CBD production, maybe consume some CBD.
I am slightly obsessed with this.
One method if you have enough electricity is to capture some amount of air from the room, compress and/or refrigerate it until the various gasses liquefy (they each liquefy at a different temperature/pressure), and drain off each liquefied gas that you want to separate into its own container.

At least, that's how the CO2-filtering device described in The Martian worked. I'm not sure if anyone uses that system in real life. Apparently on the ISS they use filters made of zeolite[1]. From that article though it didn't say if the filters were reusable. If they are, maybe just using filters is good enough for quite a long time.

Mostly I just apply the straightforward rules until it seems fair. I don’t go making a seperate company to invest in a different company to hire workers in a specific area so that I can later pay zero taxes on capital gains.

Honestly, the level of bother is too much to keep track of for 20%, which is already really low.
I can't think of a single thing that isn't inherently limited. Maybe the sun is practically infinite, though you're certainly limited by the amount of power you can capture. Land, natural resources, time, it all has limits.

One alternative would be to move the vast majority of managers where they belong - flipping burgers in McDonald’s - and instead spend this money on people with some idea of how computers work. The workflow will evolve naturally.

Ever wondered why so many Open Source projects deliver software vastly superior to commercial alternatives? It’s because in Open Source, non-competent folks don’t tell competent ones what to do.

Citation needed. IMO most of the bloat comes from ad networks and tracking.
Out of curiosity, what's the point of having a "position" in a stablecoin? It seems that if they manage to maintain the peg, there can't be any gains either. My impression was stablecoins are mainly used as an intermediary when converting between crypto positions, as a kind of "crypto reserve currency".

That would have to be grass fed for best results. it's the ALA (short chain omega 3) in the greens that get converted to DHA/EPA so grain fed won't have a lot of omega 3. You can observe this difference in the butter from grass fed versus grain fed: thd grass fed derived butter melts at lower temperatures because of the higher omega 3.

However you can also take algea or algea derived omega 3 supplements, i think the species is called nannochloropsis gaditana, and it has vegan omega 3, so probably causes no issues with fish allergies.

Data Engineering. The exact job varies a lot. It can be part of a data science team, doing interesting stuff. It can also be a version of plain 'ol ETL - enterprises increasingly need to take data from one system and move it into another for reporting - which may be better suited to consulting/contracting gigs. Be careful with Data Engineering, it is also one of the first jobs that is outsourced, so use it as a pathway (you get really good business understanding when moving data around).

(Microservices) Data Architecture. Deciding where data goes (SQL, NoSQL, data lake). The microservices trend is flippant about storage and sharing of data, so being able to architect data stores is crucial. This may be a good path for full-stack developers that like data - come up with better solutions and take that knowledge to other teams. Small dev teams put in PostgreSQL and seldom consider queues, time-series databases, search services, and other places to put data.

Data Governance. The interception between crud data, data engineering, and security. There is an increasing need to know where data is, who has accessed it, what it is used for. You'll get good visibility at the exec level and related career prospects if you ask awkward security, compliance, ownership related questions about data - and find answers and solutions to them
This is awesome, and I'd use it immediately if I could install it on a machine of mine.

Still, if the tax loophole exists, it's hardly surprising that people use it. People should pay their taxes, but the government should also close these tax loopholes, or at least be a lot more strict about how they're used; I can imagine these opportunity zones exist to make it more attractive to set up shops and small businesses here in order to develop the area. It's not meant for app startups with billion dollar exits, so the rules should exclude those.
No. Being "non-custodial" means you don't have the risk of the exchange going down. But the risk of the stablecoin losing its value is greater than your bank having a bank run. So if you don't want risk, turn it into cash and keep it in your bank.

Otherwise, what the hell do you want from "non-custodial"? And why can't I ever get a straight answer.
Or with your finger on an iPhone, or a pen on an iPad.
The phone technically doesn't solve the problem, because phone connections can be flaky. The equivalent problem would be: you call the other party and say "I will attack at 9 am if you agree" and then you get a disconnection. Then to 'prevent that' you want an OK, but to get certainty (which is absurd in this case because of the latency and the low chance of failure) you should OK that OK. Repeat infinitely.

There is one feature of phones that sort-of makes a phone more useful here. You can know whether your 'message' arrived. Because if the other side hung-up then you get a dial tone.
Most Americans can't afford to go to the doctor for their yearly checkup, and most don't. A large percentage of the country doesn't have insurance.

Also, I'm actually not sure that a yearly physical in the US does much for cancer screenings. The last one I had in the US did blood tests for cholesterol, urine tests for kidney disease, and some other common tests, but I don't remember getting screened for forms of cancer. I think this is dependent on the healthcare provider you go to, and what your insurance covers.
Show HN: Intelligram, a tool to monitor the Russo-Ukrainian war on Telegram
This reads like gamergate for 20 year olds.

The evil woke people are coming to ruin your knitting and Young Adult novels communities.

By... asking you not to say ignorant things on a global medium about how going to India is like going to mars?

And people apologizing for stuff. The horror.

Like, even if what was claimed is true, who cares? There's nothing there and people seem to have adopted fighting against this non-thing as part of their identity.

Does this really deserve the multiple mentions of war, the red terror, and communist China purges? Aren't we overreacting just a tad?
Hi HN!

As a side project for the last 3 weeks I've been working on scraping and analyzing thousands of Telegram messages from channels about the war in Ukraine and building a dashboard on top of it.

Although Telegram is not that popular in the west, it's used extensively in Russia and Ukraine to document the war. The content comes from a manually selected set of approximately 40, 70 and 100 English, Russian and Ukrainian language channels respectively. This includes official authorities of both countries, news organizations (also western ones), and independent channels/reporters that consistently talk about the topic.

Intelligram offers a search engine across what are now almost 800k messages collected since the start of the war. On top of that, what I'm most proud of is the visualization section where you can find: 1) a graph view of the connections between different channels based on forwarded messages; 2) a live map of which locations are most mentioned in the last 24 hours.

I will be glad to hear any feedback!
"A candle is an entirely independent source of oxygen from within the refuge chamber. In this way, it’s isolated from common faults found in the other sources:

Compressed Air: The feed can often be compromised during an emergency due to damage to the circuit or carbon monoxide contamination requiring the chamber to be isolated."

The candle is not isolated from the common fault of carbon monoxide contamination. Both Oxygen candles and oxygen cylinders will generally require scrubbers.
It's more accurate to say Loom is [a particular type of] continuations in the JVM, which can be used to implement green threads / fibers.

You can see the implementation of VirtualThread here: https://github.com/openjdk/loom/blob/fibers/src/java.base/sh...

This uses the internal 'one-shot delimited continuation': https://github.com/openjdk/loom/blob/fibers/src/java.base/sh...

So, at least in principle, there is scope for other styles of concurrency to be implemented over this.
> As far as I understood, FIDO pretends to change the login/password security model to one based in biometrical data like fingerprint or faceid.

No, not really. Much more commonly it is a security token (like a yubikey) or a TMP in another device.

> How can FIDO be more secure than different passwords per website or service?

By generating these "passwords" for each website and service and each time you use them.
On turning 30. Why does it feel so hard?
Turning 30 felt like finally reaching adulthood, there was no more time to mess around. The moment for experimenting was gone. An overpowering voice seemed to whisper in my head: you should settle down.
> What I'm lamenting, and I think others are too, is that we don't have a society that says, "Well, science provides the best tools we have to understand the universe, and so, we will trust scientists to guide our decisions."

That would be a horrible idea. It's trying to package the whole edifice up in a nice "just tell me who I can unequivocally trust" bow.

No-one! Nullius in verba! You can trust no-one!

There is no faith, only degrees of confidence.
