Pulling from the comment I was replying to:

That's quite literally disavowing responsibility.

> ... but there is an extensive body of law intended to protect people from outright falsehoods

This is true and the law hasn't quite caught up to crypto scams but think about it this way: even if the scammers get prosecuted--possibly even go to jail--you're 99% likely never getting your money back. And even if you do it'll probably be after wasting years on the effort. Obviously there's a deterrence value to prosecuting scammers and I support that hpappening but you'll almost never get your money back.

> Maintaining a certain level of trust is a pool from which we can all draw. It has in fact been shown that growth in low trust economies is systematically lower than in high trust economies.

I 100% agree and this is something that libertarians and anarchists gloss over completely.
I beg to differ. I mean sure, the OP-1 isn't as versatile as a laptop with a good daw and a few plugins but hardware still has its' place in some producers' gear bag. For a standalone device it's extremely versatile and it does sound good.

Don't feel bad. Even if you had continued with the idea, it may not have worked. In 2013 there was a company called "Twist" that invited users to share their location temporarily so that co-workers could know if they would be on time to meetings. At some point they shuttered most of their employees and decided to pivot into bitcoin as "BitGo". (Note that https://twist.com/ is an entirely different company now).

I joined shortly after the shuttering. One funny thing was that the company still owned twist.com and would continually get emails for an unrelated sex club, twistsf.com.
I'm not disagreeing with you about the instant runoffs for competitive elections. Then the more moderate could get squeezed out.

The relationship with RCV for non-competitive races (e.g., those districts that are gerrymandered or naturally not competitive which is the majority in the USA) is the RCV can easily address the extremes versus moderates. Moderate candidates don't run because they won't get support from their party and are perceived to be stealing votes. E.g., If you're not voting for $EXTREMIST you're voting for the $THEM. RCV lets you vote for the moderate AND your party's extremist in order to thwart the other side.
DollarCoin is the best summary of proof-of-work that I've ever seen. Just replace "burning US $1 notes" with "burning [x] Watts-hour of electricity" and it describes Bitcoin to a T.

In other words, a story? An account of something that happened to that person? Does he have to state the names of every road he was on and every cafe he went to?

I like this site, but the one thing I'll never understand is the outrageously entitled attitudes of so many people when it comes to free content, like fat and delirious blog-reading Ubus.
Forming a minority government is not gerrymandering. In a healthy pluralistic democratic country getting >50% of the vote is almost impossible, and it's definitely not a good thing when it happens.
>Most people in the EU not from Germany don't know UvdL

Oh, we do, and we hate her and unfortunately Germany too, because they push their incompetent and corrupt politicians to the EU, where they're using the country's immense economic leverage to push unpopular policies across EU level.
I'm sorry. The chance of someone needing to look at these pictures should be near 0. The backup company doesn't need to look at them. They should actually be end-to-end encrypted so that only me and grandma can see.

In exceptional cases the police may need to see them. But even in that case there is nothing wrong with these pictures. Pictures of gore and literal shits are legal and while I agree that it can make this job very taxing. But a child swimming naked is not the problem here.

My 10 Cents to Be a MVP (Most Valued Player) in the Software World
So true. I think my biggest negative when it comes to the idea of running a business is that thick skin. Not so obnoxious that you don't take feedback but realistic that opinions are free and come thick and fast!

I think this also plays out when people are always comparing themselves to their competitors instead of just concentrating on what they are doing well. Just because "Big Company" does it, doesn't mean it is worthwhile and that they won't pull it in 6 months when they realise they created something useless!
the irony is by breaking the UK out of the ERM: Soros enabled brexit

if the UK had stayed in the ERM it would have joined the euro and exiting would have been impossible

Soros is very, very much against brexit, to such an extent he funded numerous remain campaigns and continued to fund campaigns dedicated to overturning the result (Trump style)
The Lost 4-Dimensional Rotation
> Even Ukraine said they aren’t interested in fighting for the eastern parts of the country because the local population will likely be hostile and make their jobs much harder.

Source?

This is simply not the case, their is intense fighting in the Donbas region by both UA and Foreign legions, and places like Bucha and Kharkiv are all on the East and are all subject to the indiscriminate shelling of residential areas of mainly Ethic Russian Ukrainian citizens in what are some of the worst crimes against of Humanity seen since maybe the Croatian-Serbian conflict.

These places may not be as nationalistic as Lviv, very few places are in fact, but it would be absolutely foolish to say that considering this [0] was just released last month which specifically states it's intention to de-occucpy Crimea from Russia.

And after what is seen in Bucha, Irpin, Kharviv, Mariupol etc... there are no Russian speaking regions who think they are going to be spared from the indiscriminate and needless death they have seen of women, children, men. They now see them for the violent murderers that they are. Those that remained probably left for Russia.

Even the dissenters posting on social media are being tracked down by the Ukrainian military and being arrested/detained which honestly is fucking terrifying, but consistent with it's actual intended use--State surveillance.

This isn't 2014 anymore, where it was mainly the Azov holding off things in the Donbas against Russian sponsored separatists and sympathizers, things have drastically changed and while I doubt loyalty is 100% to he Ukrainian government it's really crazy how united that country has gotten since the invasion. I had mixed feelings of Azov because of how they violently dealt with Russian-leaning supporters back in 2014, but after what they've done in Mariupol it goes to show that it's not something they tolerate any longer. They sacrificed themselves in order to protect them in the steel mill and are bravely still the only thing left from total Russian occupation of Mariupol.

People around here don't know this but Bitcoiners were some of the first non Government affiliated volunteers in Ukraine to help back in 2013 during the Maidan Revolution and then 2014 for the war in the Donbas. This is where our technology got battle tested for real, hence why it has played such a pivotal role in distribution for funds when the Ukrainian Central Bank suspended withdraws of UAH on the day of the invasion just as it did during the capital controls and hyper inflation in 2013/14.

I won't go into a tirade about it, but this is why many of us Bitcoiners get so upset when we hear some misinformed arm-chair coder in the comfort of his apartment in SV tells us why 'bitcoin doesn't matter, no one uses it' type diatribes. It's a waste of my time but all it's all there for people to see that it was critical in both 2014 and 2022 to support Ukraine.

And the fact that you can make such blatantly misinformed statements reflects the level of ignorance on all of the aforementioned topics.

>Just seems that people want Python to be something other than it is.

Well, if they didn't, we'd still be stuck with Python 1 or 0.1.

Why is the GIL suddenly where Python should keep "being what it is", and not any of those tons of changes, from 0.1 to 3.10?

Especially since the removal of the GIL doesn't change any spirit/essence of Python - just makes it faster.

Python wasn't conceived as "having a GIL" being some essential part of it, it was just a bad tradeoff for implementation convenience made back in the day where common multi-core machines were 20 years in the future...

How much can politicians, activists and beaurocrats pervert the truth?
Voting for a single letter, D or R, is very different from voting for accurate representation of your beliefs and needs.

Even taking the modern political reality, we have primary systems where one can choose, for example, a candidate that believes that Biden is an illegal president that belongs in jail and Democrats have a secret cabal of child-killers, vs one who merely thinks corporations should have lower taxes.

My point was that a single district can only be represented by one of these very different people.
> That means keeping unused or partially used EC2s up which means $$$.

It does but having a pre-sized cluster that's overprovisioned can end up being cheaper than using Fargate because Fargate is really expensive. This isn't accounting for using spot instances on EC2 too.

Of course your mileage may vary but as long as you're not dealing with massively irregular spikes where you're spinning up hundreds or thousands of containers up / down based on load you can very easily just run a few [dozen] replicas of your apps on a pre-sized cluster with enough room to let Kubernetes horizontally scale your pods as needed.

For scaling the cluster's size there's Karpenter which is mentioned in the post. It can quite quickly give you new resources in a Fargate-like manner without needing to use Fargate. The benefit of Karpenter is it's faster than auto-scaling groups and you can spin up uniquely sized instances based on your workload.

You do realize that this whole concept is an overkill, don't you?

> Most people in the EU not from Germany don't know UvdL and they should know that she has the capability to severely damage the net

I gave a bit of context on UvdL (Ursula von der Leyen) in a comment a few hours ago in the thread “European Commission prefers breaking privacy to protecting kids”: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31344817
But would the system not insist images are hashed by it? I mean; I would think it’s not a weird demand that if this is to protect children (which it is not, at least not only) that the image hashes are solely for that purpose or otherwise not valid and thrown out by at least an AI. I know it’s naive but it seems you want the image with the hash and if someone gets flagged and it’s some money laundering doc, then it should be dismissed before you get out on a list.

You were talking about countries not on my radar. Why would do think Russia is not on my radar right now?

The thing is, even within the CIS, Russia is the biggest threat to CIS members, not NATO. That's why Georgia left after it was invaded by Russia.

And this is the big problem with Russia: Russia has always invaded its allies. It also invaded Czechoslovakia and Hungary when they were Russian allies. There's no value in allying with Russia, whereas NATO members don't get invaded.
1. What makes you think Sudan (or NK, or Russia, or China) won't get their hands on this technology?

2. What makes you think every government in the entire EU will always have the people's best interests at heart?

3. What makes you think #2 is true even today?

It seems like this technology could be very easy to abuse, to great public detriment. Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Parallel construction though.
The biggest problem is that these images are CSAM. Or at least a bit-for-bit identical image is in a different context. If it is family members are sharing an image of their child having fun or even sending an image to your doctor then there is no problem here. But those exact images in a different context could be a problem.

Of course this is why they have human moderation before conviction. But I absolutely don't want my private images being reviewed because they may be CSAM. This is basically assuming that I have likely done something wrong and intruding my privacy because of that.
Yes, till they are legal.
Being a native speaker I never considered the example you mention, but it's definitely weird. To express "I have X" in Hungarian you would say "There is X", but X has an extra letter 'm', usually with an accent of the letter before it.
"There is an apple" = "Van egy alma"
"I have an apple" = "Van egy almám"
As the article pointed out Hungarian language possibly has origins in Kazahstan and Mongolia, there is some similarity in the names of places to present-day Hungarian words (Alma Ata, Ulan Bator).
alma = apple
ata (atya) = father
bator (bátor) = brave
No one is quite sure as proto-Hungarians wandered the steppes and left no written notes. What we know is they spent a lot of time in Levédia, present day Ukraine and Russia by the river Volga. https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev%C3%A9dia (article in hungarian)

This is propaganda based on a mix of the Protestant work ethic and stoicism in an effort to keep the populace compliant and malleable.

That might be OK, as the need for "melody" in music is itself a convention. The Prelude of Bach's 1st cello suite has been described as pure harmony. There's music that's just drums and chant.
It's super easy to fall into the trap of working on things that don't matter. Most startups are busy toiling on features/partnerships/etc that don't actually impact their growth or move the needle in a significant way.

Ultra-successful startups are actually caught by some wave or catch the market at the right moment -- the business takes off and the team is trying to catch up to it.

It's possible to create that momentum, but you need to really understand your customers/market so you can make sure you're focusing on the right things.

It's too easy to sleep happily in oblivion. Yet the russia's war against Ukraine effectively started 8 years ago in 2014 with annexation of Crimea and invasion of Donbas region. No NATO mentions were anywhere at the time, it was the Budapest memorandum that supposedly was 'reassuring' safeties for Ukraine and was also signed by russia...

Land and resources grab is what drives russia's objectives. Has been like that since the empire times - this state is stuck in the obsolete colonialization mindset but now even without ideology to offer (no one can sanely consider the 'russification' aka 'russian world' as ideology).

The whole Western world has not been sleeping happily since the start of Cold war - the russia's nukes have not been detargeted, and now are being openly used for strike intimidation once again.

It only points out that russia simply is unable to integrate into the modern world, neither politically nor economically. The only choice (barring its own implosion) is containment, thus NATO is relevant again, as so far there are no viable options especially for the neigboring states, just as for Finland and Sweden.

That word "fault" is doing a lot of work. Strictly speaking, no, that bit isn't a fault, it's a great success. They did exactly what they set out to do.

But there's always that separate question of whether it's a moral failing to set out to do what they did in the first place.

And then you dig a little deeper and you can ask, even if we grant for the sake of argument that it's a moral failing, is it the state's responsibility to do anything about that?

And then you can dig even deeper, maybe ease off on the deontological ethics a bit, and instead ask, "What's worse for society in the long run: this behavior, or whatever enforcement mechanisms it would take to curb it?" I'd argue that that's a much more edifying way to frame the question.
