I have no insider info, this is just what I think.

The Linux desktop is Red Hat's complement in the sense of commoditizing their complement. They don't actually care about it as such, but it needs to exist and they want it to be dirt cheap and highly available so it will drive customers to the products they do care about. Without it, they're just selling a grab bag of server/CLI/web-based tools that require a fleet of Windows or Mac desktops to manage, a very different value proposition to being a complete IT solution.
> there’s a -punk there, and not just because it’s become a trendy suffix. There’s an oppositional quality to solarpunk, but it’s an opposition that begins with infrastructure as a form of resistance.”

> Green, sustainable infrastructure as a form of resistance. Technical systems decoupled from the ‘authoritarian technics’ that Mumford warns us about. The embracing of the natural and the technical. This idea is where the solarpunk vision really comes into its own.

Seems to be mentioned in the article why there's a punk suffix. I think it fits. This kind of thinking is inherently subversive to the power structures in place in our societies today.
(Since a recent conversation on HN) I think this is what e.g. Heroku does. Repackage AWS products that they get at a crazy discount and tweak pricing to maximise profit.
You just reminded me of the argument against seat belts based on the assumption that they'll encourage riskier driving thereby leading to more deaths.

Not doing the obviously correct superior easy strategy because there's some infrequent weird corner case prevents any kind of progress. Perfection is the enemy of good enough, engineering is balancing constraints, ad nauseum...
>But why is anyone else buying Tether at above $1

If I want to pay Bob $100, I will buy 100 coins, never mind whether they currently cost $0.998 or $1.002 each on my particular exchange.

So the issuer needs to constantly mint or burn tokens to match the market demand in such a way that it stays as close to $1 as possible.[1]

>For someone to sell something someone else needs to buy the same thing.

That someone is not some rando person, that someone is marketmaker whose business is in filling out the orderbook.

[1] https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/tether – see the chart for market cap, since the tokens costs $1 it is almost the same as the chart of total number of tokens over time
JWST is nowhere near the caliber of telescopes necessary to resolve black holes. Very literally, we would need an optical telescope bigger than new york city to even make an attempt.
maybe twitter accelerated their vest, or (at the exec level) there's a clause for that in their agreement. i'd lean that way before i considered this is a money saving move.

>Given the apparently inability of active funds to routinely outperform passive funds[0], "not much" would be my response.

Renaissance Technologies and Two Sigmas are just two examples of firms that constantly beat the market using math, algorithms and machine learning. It's doable, but not easy.
I agree. But the use of the phrase MVP in place of the phrase “initial prototype” is what I am probing. I think that the misuse of “MVP” distorts the understanding of the long and difficult process of developing and marketing a “viable” software product.
I don't really care about the price itself. But the thought of some stupid crypto-kid losing money makes me glad, I guess.
So the hope that eventually the powers that be at Amazon will feel magnanimous at an undetermined date in the future is what makes it not a pyramid scheme at the moment?
It's interesting, I actually do think there is value in regionalizing media to an extent, primarily low-level word change between dialects. For example, changing "Go throw the wellies in the boot of the car parked on the pavement before we get petrol" to "Go throw the rainboots in the trunk of the car parked on the sidewalk before we get gas" for an American audience. Higher-level changes are less justifiable, like the potential of changing landmarks, etc.

That being said, "disused lavatory" is reasonable to change, although "unused lavatory" is entirely the wrong way to do it! That translation both changes the meaning of the phrase and doesn't even get rid of the obvious Britishism. I would have gone for "derelict bathroom" maybe? Maybe "dilapidated"?
I always understood that, while it’s frowned upon, it’s definitely allowed.

It’s very scummy yes, but option plans are always a bit of a disguise trick, as it’s seen as part of your compensation, but in reality should really be considered a retroactive bonus you get after staying with the company for N years.

That would be on the executive and the company to negotiate that aspect in the contract deal. Executive contracts almost always have lawyers behind them.
Not here. A correction was overdue, sure, but I never hope for full on crashes, especially the people it hurts, as dumb as it may have been for them to FOMO entire life savings into coins not tested by time. I'm not a bitcoin maximalist, but there's only a small handful of coins I feel comfortable putting more than ~$200 into.

Of course I have a decent amount invested in these things, but it's not a huge deal, I got in long enough ago I'm still way up, just wish I stepped on the sidelines a few months ago instead of stubbornly staying in like I did the last two market cycles. But I never put in anything more than ~2% of my paycheck into it. I waste way more money on two or three takeout meals every week.

Even with these crashes, my piddly crypto purchases are still outperforming my 401k, and I'm putting about 7x times more into that every paycheck.
So you originally made a claim about liberal democracies, which both Finland and the US are. Now after the counter-argument/proposal you change your tune and claim that a book about how the media operates in the US and by a extrapolation similar liberal democracies has got nothing to do with how Finland works. How convenient.
People who belong trading in the market are the people who can figure out how to make money in any condition. The rest of the people, the long hodlers, will probably be fine. If you hold bitcoin for 2 years, you basically have not lost money since its inception.
Ever tried asking a Vegas casino manager for the is on any particular slot machine? I did about 10 years ago and was informed they were proprietary.

I don't think copying other people's style of artwork is considered creative work, otherwise art forgers would be able to actually make a living doing art, since some of them are really phenomenal.
Thanks so much for this - I can't imagine how much time I have wasted jumping through goofy hoops trying to change the formatting in gmail.

If only there was a way to set this as the default and format pasting as the shift setting.

FWIW, shift+command+v works for me...

> I'm looking forward to burning less resources for just hashes.

you do not understand or don't want to understand why those hashes are necessary. Are you okay with burning resources for running a bloated financial system or sponsoring "innovators" out of public money? Are you okay with the money you worked hard for to literally lose value due to inflation? Are you okay with a society where if we stop producing and consuming all but things we really need we will be rewarded with a financial crash?
You don't run out of dollars in this case. Each time you mint a token and sell it, you earn at least a dollar for the treasury.
Not yet, but that is a high priority TODO. The simplest toolchain is just "Page Print > Save to PDF", but I need to first improve the printer-oriented CSS.

There's a broader issue of layout, like if you want to print a Nota document and a figure is split across two pages. I'm not sure how to handle that, or if it even makes sense to. The goal of Nota is to move away from the paper document model, although people of course still like to print things and scribble on them.
That makes no sense to me, they're completely different products. (Periscope is about livestreaming vine was short clips.)
Yeah - the existence of this post is really an example of it.

"Is anyone else <obvious case of pandering to common HN tribal confirmation bias for a dominant position on HN>" -> lots of upvotes and in-group people agreeing with each other.

It's basically just hating on an HN out group.

Good crypto/finance conversations HN on are unfortunately not possible. I just flag posts like this, they're just flame bait.
More likely they had initial vests at two years, then additional ones every extra year, on a rolling basis.

Oh wow. Yeah that's way off.
But why? Did tesla open source key scientific innovations in the scaling of batteries?
Don't think so.
See e.g. The seres f5 from Huawei. I don't know wether it's great but about the main metric, it has a higher range than teslas (1000km)

I understand you're thinking from the lense that CBP are neutral fair observers. This is far from the case.

Persons such as Mr. Eckert who went through the x-ray, found that after that there were even worse things to come such as a colonoscopy [0].

I only recently heard of this idea at the AWS Summit when talking to a rep of one of your competitors (Zesty), they have a minimum spend of $7k.
Your pricing page says there's no conditions, so I assume you don't have minimum spend requirement, is that correct?
Can't wait. Finally an end to "Rails is slow".

It would make sense that it would if the formatting was specified (though MS rarely makes much sense). I can't test this myself. I only have access to word online, and (unless I'm blind) there is no way to specify background on a text/paragraph in the online version.
I… don’t really see how Buffet’s purchases in ‘98 bear on the discussion at hand? You can read his 2011 investor note and see what his definition is about. I don’t know if he classified silver as productive or unproductive at that time.

I strongly agree that dark-web transactions were the largest “productive” component of BTC, but I think the “BTC as payment mechanism” has a much lower equilibrium price than asset-based usages because you essentially buy to make a purchase, and then sell on the other side. So for $1B of transactions in a year you might only need $1M of currency (maybe it’s an order of magnitude higher if you don’t immediately sell your BTC on the receiving side) which would give a price of $0.05/BTC (assuming 21M BTC total). Fermi calculation here, I think this is a lower bound for $1B transactions. The real calc is a bit more involved and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was one or two OOM higher.

As you can see the dark web usecase settles on a much, much lower value for BTC than the current market price. You need $T/yr to be transacting in BTC, or folks to be holding a float in BTC because they are getting paid and plan to pay for things, to get a valuation in the $1000s. Which is fine, but supports the point I made above about the “productive use prices” being a much smaller fraction of current price than even gold’s.

Coinbase experiencing major outage as crypto prices plummet
I guess the UN could pass a resolution to authorize an invasion (though they can't really enforce anything). It's why the US presented their case against Iraq to the UN 20 years ago.

Though in this particular case, the demands Putin made before the invasion, that NATO should promise never to allow Ukraine in, and should abandon eastern Europe entirely, sounded a lot to me like Putin was basically demanding permission to invade those countries.

Because while NATO can't give permission to invade, it can most certainly enforce a denial of that permission by defending the target of the invasion. And that's what Putin was asking from NATO: a promise not to defend Ukraine or any other country in eastern Europe.
> the removal of Russia from the planet

The smartest people on the planet, since the 60's, have worked on this problem, and that's how we got to the concept of "mutually assured destruction" (triad and all that). That means that this "removal" would likely also mean a symmetrical "removal" of the West.

I have a privilege to live in neither a NATO country nor Russia, nor anywhere near, so for me it still looks like a chess game, but the stakes are unbearably high.
If everyone thinks this is an existentially large drop, from a historical perspective, now is probably a fantastic time to buy Bitcoin.

I think DCA-ing into ~1% of net worth held in crypto over the next few weeks would be a pretty solid trade.
But it's not money you can buy coffee with... In April it spiked up to more than 5x what it's trading at now. In the last few weeks it seems to be trending down, isn't this just as speculative as any other coin?
i would say we have strangled the pipeline. we still have some flow but not for long.
Wireless is a trap (2020)
I'm not really invested or care for crypto, I'd rather it not be around. But I don't see how this is any different than when bitcoin hit $17k and also "crashed" and everyone talked about how this was the end and crypto had a good run. Then it got even bigger. Now that you have institutional investors in this pie and not just those dudes you knew in college, its not going anywhere. People are automatically putting retirement contributions into crypto. The shitcoins come and go but things like bitcoin and the other major major coins will probably always be around with appreciable volume unless there is regulatory crackdown imo.
If I were in your situation I would be studying about all the static site generators, onpremise self-served blog services, any type of new blog service that are good for writing about art and math. Okay, then what theme would be best? Survey them on each platform. What markup language would be best to write about art and math? Find about LaTeX, org-mode, Markdown, etc. I pretty much tend to do this kind of thing for anything I do!

PS. Good luck with the blog! Hope I get to read your entries some day :)
Only positive, warm humor intended by any of it.

If general relativity based models have struggled to help predict or explain planetary system formation and exoplanet observations, I think we should have the same level of expectation about how helpful a general relativity based black hole model will be.
Totally disagree. Solarpunk is providing an out for the future that cyberpunk warns us about. Hoplessness is endemic amongst the young people in Western socities at the moment. A hopeful vision for the future is something necessary to pervade the public consciousness and create a better future in reality. It honestly happened with cyberpunk already. The aesthetic was taken up subconsciously by designers and engineers and actualised into reality. The same could happen for solarpunk.
I hit ctrl-f and paste, copy again in the app's search field - then the formatting disappears.

Tesla is up 995% over the past 5 years.
To appreciate this may require some understanding of the historical context. I’d heard of the Winter War between Finland and the USSR prior to WWII, but had no idea that:

- Finland was formerly part of the Russian Empire

- Finland held out, but conceded a significant chunk of land to the USSR (Karelian Isthmus, now part of Russia…sounds kind of like eastern Ukraine)

- The Soviet forces were generally inept

- The West essentially abandoned Finland to avoid confronting the USSR

- Ever since WWII, Finland has been careful to remain neutral

The “World War Two” channel on YouTube has a series of entertaining videos detailing the history starting around here: https://youtu.be/HZunUjmHTeA
The blackmailers would have to own the channel they transmit on, though, to hide their communication to you, and own the metadata on the network. It's not like file-encryption ransoms, they not only have to remain anonymous but also to hide all traces of network communications (which are already completely monitored on a message-metadata level). And the perps aren't just screwing around for money but are trading in practices that apparently get you murdered in prison.
This would be reasonable if the audience is under 12 years old.

I expect any American older than this to cope with a few less familiar words.
> While Medicare for All itself is only polling at 55%, with most Republican voters (62%) opposing it, a public option is polling at a whopping 68% support, including 55% support among Republican voters [0].

Polling like that (do you want this free stuff?) is meaningless. Look at polls that ask how many people support taking action on climate change, versus ones that ask what people are willing to pay in higher utility bills for such action. People want change, but only if it costs less than $10/month: https://www.cato.org/blog/68-americans-wouldnt-pay-10-month-...

Even millenials, who skew liberal, generally would prefer smaller government if bigger government meant higher taxes: https://reason.com/2014/07/10/millennials-prefer-small-gover....

Americans support universal healthcare--right up until you propose to pay for it the same way everyone else pays for it, with payroll taxes on middle class people.

> And yet, neither party is willing to implement it (a public system would significantly reduce Healthcare costs for the entire economy - remember that the USA has by far the largest expenditure on health-care out of any country on Earth, while doing relatively bad among rich countries at outcomes).

And here is where the abstract choice rubber hits the political reality road. After the Obamacare experience, very few people believe that they'll get more from a government program while paying less. Also, people are broadly in disagreement about why healthcare costs more in the U.S. and what drives our outcomes.

> For wars, the occupation of Afghanistan has been opposed by the public for at least 10 years before Biden withdrawing, with strong support from voters of both parties, as seen in both Obama, Trump and Biden winning with a platform of ending the war, but without any concrete action from the first two

Obama won because he was willing to recognize the war as a mistake, but that isn't the same thing as believing we should pull out. Opposition to ending the war didn't reach a decisive majority until 2012: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/27/world/asia/support-for-af.... And by the end of Obama's term, we were down to 1/3 of what they had been at the start of Obama's term: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-41014263. Even then, the majority of Americans disapproved of the execution of Biden's pull out: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/americans-give-biden-low-ma...

> (if anything, Obama intensified the war, ordering even more illegal drone strikes on civilians than George Bush, and even publically admitting to assassinating an American citizen on "suspicion of terrorism").

Virtually nobody cares about that.
A lot of economic activity is exactly that. Look no further than the big tech companies...
For me, death is not the main problem, but the long, drawn out period of slowly coming apart definitely is. I would very much prefer not to spend last 15 years of my life crippled from multiple degenerative diseases of old age.

Most of the longevity research is trying to stretch healthspan. Stretching lifespan as such is a nice side effect.

We aren't likely to live forever anyway.
The ENTIRE point of parental leave benefit is to ensure that your employment status doesn’t change while you are using it. The business doesn’t have to stop in it’s tracks, but the legal expectation is generally that you will come back to the same job you left.

This sends a horrifying message to employees.

I don't know if this is debunking you, but you've put words in OP's mouth. They didn't say that "she can't install Python", or anything remotely like that.

They said, the 72 year old woman is starting from zero. She may not have done anything at all yet (perhaps for lack of knowledge on where to start).

It is highly likely that she just thinks she wants to code, and will give up during the first step into the thicket of incomprehensibility involved in starting from zero. But the same exact thing could be said about a 12 year old starting out, and absolutely nobody would suggest that the 12 year old should be discouraged from trying. Rather, most everyone would cheer on the 12 year old and throw resources at them. (Pretty much the same ones people have already suggested here, so I won't add more.)

Bit of a pet peeve to me -- the older people get, the faster people will jump to say that they shouldn't do something new. Not that you were necessarily saying that, but it happens quite often.
Exactly, your definition of True FSD seems to be when it doesn't ever make mistakes that a drunk or inexperienced person makes.

Other people's definition of True FSD comes down to safety (Rate of FSD caused deaths vs Rate of Human caused deaths).
