>Where was this coming from if not from new buyers?

Anchor generated revenue in 2 ways. The first is that it collects staking rewards for collateral that was deposited. The second is that it collected interest on the loans it lent to people. Some of what it was able to collect can be attributed to new buyers because an increase demand for UST increases the value of Luna. This combined with more gas fees means that bLuna holders will be paid out more. bLuna is one of the assets which can be used as collateral on Anchor. Even without new buyers there would still be profit that could be awarded to depositors.
Maybe this is performance art designed to demonstrate the menace of communication media that require you to strip out crucial qualifiers from your claims in order to fit into an artificial character size limit?
I've seen a macbook cook itself doing this, so I'm not sure if it's sufficient
Agreed. This sort of issue has been public knowledge about Twitter for a long time. This sounds to me like an excuse to delay or get out with plausible deniability.
AFAIK a "Show HN"-only feature.
That makes no sense, especially because on of them was on paternity leave and is probably not involved in getting some numbers from the database.
It's not that simple everywhere, We have brick walls, replacing cables means lot of dust and repairing those opened walls... provided you don't damage anything already there.

So here I'm feeling adventurous for pushing 10 GbE over a run of Cat5E for the next decade or more.
Death is the road to awe
I also used to like him or at least respected him a bit more, I think the best way I can put it is that he seems lost in his own sauce.

I remember listening to someone describe a conversation they had with him or where he was speaking, and he relayed that Elon was telling them that in his world he can't relate to people because to him its like everyone is a toddler mentally and he has to go down to their level....now, I just fully don't believe that, that sounds like the most contrived "I'm a genius peasants" story imaginable, something out of a movie.

One person (their VP Product) was on paternity. You don't fire people like that unless they did something very very wrong.

Misrepresenting spam/bot accounts would fall under that bucket. If the number of spam accounts is like 20% (instead of 5%), not only would the deal fall through, other shareholders would sue twitter.

Not sure this misrepresentation would count as financial misrepresentation (which results in jail etc under Sarbanes-Oxley)
Off topic: I like when HN "follows" a topic (sqlite in this case) for a few days.
A very obscure module used inside of smart TVs, for a number of reasons -- one of them being the fact that it has exposed serial console pins.

What everybody says, and repeatedly gets ignored, is the irony that his plea for protection is directed exactly at those he dislikes. It's about him acting in contradiction to his own principles, not about him getting or not protection. It's about his character. That's all. Even asshats deserve police protection, agreed, but that doesn't make them any more likeable and likeability was the topic here.
Ask HN: Employee location tracking and GDPR/data protection
My employer (in the UK) has taken a hard stance on RTO, and they're tracking it with in office day % targets at a team level.

They have created a mobile application which lets you:

- see a map of all desks, which is clickable to show who is logged in at a particular desk, their name and photo and whether they are online/away/busy

- look up where a person is sat, or whether they are working from home

Any member of staff can access it at any time so it is starting to be used as a way to see how long individuals (as opposed to the team) are present and whether they are coming in for more than the required number of days.

My question is not so much whether employers can collect this data, but if they are allowed to share it with all other employees? I thought that this counts as "personal data" and there would be controls on who should be able to look at it.
I'm not aruging that, I'm saying they will probably regulate us by having claims like that.
Given the toxic dump twitter is today, I doubt this is true.
Does this have functionality to auto-generate docs from (python) docstrings? Currently using Sphinx with RTD (ReadTheDocs) theme for this, and quite happy with it, though the setup took a lot of hunting around for examples. Wondering if this is the best auto-doc approach for python these days. For context, I am developing a code base with the intention of later open sourcing it, so wanted to have it properly documented from the start.
Then it's maybe relevant to how people who didn't drink the koolaid felt about Mao when they were under China's Chiang? But not how they felt when they were under Mao himself.

I don't see any images in the search results you linked that seem to be photos of giant posters on San Francisco buildings. Possibly Google is serving me different results than it's serving you. Can you link to the specific ones you found?

> RAGE (Retire All Government Employees)

New one for me:

> As early as 2012, he proposed the acronym RAGE—Retire All Government Employees—as a shorthand for a first step in the overthrow of the American “regime.” What we needed, Yarvin thought, was a “national CEO, [or] what’s called a dictator.” Yarvin now shies away from the word dictator and seems to be trying to promote a friendlier face of authoritarianism as the solution to our political warfare: “If you’re going to have a monarchy, it has to be a monarchy of everyone,” he said.

* https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/inside-the-new-right...

> Under his Moldbug pseudonym, Yarvin gave a talk about "rebooting" the American government at the 2012 BIL Conference. He used it to advocate the acronym "RAGE", which he defined as "Retire All Government Employees". Acting as a provocateur, he described what he felt were flaws in the accepted "World War II mythology" alluding to the idea that Hitler's invasions were acts of self-defense. He argued these discrepancies were pushed by America's "ruling communists", who invented political correctness as an "extremely elaborate mechanism for persecuting racists and fascists". "If Americans want to change their government," he said, "they're going to have to get over their dictator phobia."[36]

OMG. I'm astonished that people still can't see through his lies and BS.

It took me about 3 seconds to realize that after the stock market crashed, Elon wanted to get a better price. The 5% stuff is just a random excuse.
This looks really neat. Your branding is awesome, and the website is clean, but requires a lot more content for me to take this product for a spin.
actually neat idea!

Google is worse and worse for finding useful information and I think that community curation can be a better way to find knowledge.

actually here's an article i like on that topic https://future.a16z.com/the-future-of-search-is-boutique/

I'd say you don't need ranking in the sense that it is done in Google now. You need to able to make clusters of information based on searches and let people dig in.

like "react keynotes" or "routing in react".
This is getting worse by the minute, i can't believe it. Hope the people who promoted the shitcoin sink to the ground in shame. I doubt it though
Snow gets behind my glasses and into my eyes, blows into my ears, and gets blown into places that rain wouldn't normally reach, which then melts and gets wet.

This means you need to seal yourself up much more rather than just getting an umbrella. It also is much more difficult to cycle in and covers up the street markings.

I love how snow looks but then whenever I go out in it, I remember how much I hate it.
You can in principle conduct user interviews to determine the likely percentage, without having a clear way to ide tify every individual account. Similar in principle to how you conduct pre-election polls.
I always found it odd that such an important line of research was restricted to one-off stunts like this. Every university should be making sealed gardens.
In the end, it’s statistics, yes. Maybe, a Mac running a windows VM could produce similar output, or somebody could run Linux, copy over the specific fonts from Windows 8, tweak font rendering to match Windows (e.g. in when to use type hints), fiddle with line spacing and page width until their LibreOffice or abiword produces the same line breaks and spacing, etc, but that somebody would try to do that is quite unlikely to start with and also may be very hard to accomplish (and that’s something experts could have tried to do. If so, they could testify about the difficulty of pulling it off)

⇒ I don’t think it’s fair to call this speculation, let alone pure speculation.
Great idea. However, I think you need to be careful in the VAT area not to overpromise: I selected “selling from Switzerland to Switzerland” and your calculator quoted a VAT of 0%, which is of course false (selling stuff in Switzerland requires deducting 7.7% VAT).

My guess would be that you only cover VAT within the EU, but of course there are VAT regimes outside of the EU too; so “we also take care of VAT collection for you” does not seem to apply in all cases.

Whoa, we just went from "single family home" to "single family home...in locations with no transport other than car and no stores etc nearby".

I never said people prefer that.

I said people prefer a single family home, a yard and a car. That's not actually achievable in most city centers (unless wealthy) so many people give up location in exchange for a single family home, a yard and car.

Thus, suburbs aren't forced on anyone. Many people chose a single family home, in the suburbs, over an apartment in the city. The cost of that is not being able to walk everywhere, and people are willing to pay that price.

> Marks and Spencer’s is such a dumb name for a supermarket though.

It's named after its founders (Michael Marks and Thomas Spencer).

That is not a clinically recognised term.
It seems evident that a bot user is almost never monetizable, so you'd think the amount of bots in Twitters monetizable user base would be very close to zero even if the total amount of bot users is 90% of the total user base.

Let her play the game, but tell her to use just 10% of the money she's willing to invest. Then she shall play it for 6 months. If she's profitable (which I don't guess she will be), then let her do it. If she is loosing money, she will stop eventually.
Right, Ether is still worth money even if Dai implodes, even if maybe a little less so, for reasons that aren't strictly about how thickly capitalized the Ether market is.

Except when the market as a whole goes down it impacts everyone who was bringing money to the table in this deal. I wonder if the financing he's gathered is getting nervous. It might be harder for him to raise the money again, even if the price is better.
Zoe was a concept car, as was VW eUp. At the time, established car companies were doing concepts that looked like golf-carts and taking about "e-mobility".

Look at i-Miev and the Roadster and tell me which one do you think a typical car lover would love more. If you think that would've taken over the car market .. then you're definitely not in the same circles I am :-)

Other car makers started paying serious attention only when Tesla inexplicably didn't go under and Model S started to be a success.
So, I put up 10BTC as collateral to get 110LNA - worth 11BTC - on the promise that I'll pay back 120LNA - worth 12BTC.

I sell the LNA for 11BTC worth of dollars. A meteor comes and destroys the price of LNA, sending it to a penny. When my loan is due, I buy 120LNA for a buck twenty and pay it back. I keep all of the 11BTC worth of dollars, having essentially bought them for a dollar.

Something like that? Seems like it fucks lenders more than holders, but I'm guessing that a lot of holders use some trickery to act as lenders as well. Neat scam.
Lets also not forget how atrocious text rendering is on non-retina displays. I don't know why apple thought it was acceptable to remove subpixel rendering.

On 4k displays, it's lovely (if a little soft for my liking).

On 1080p, it's not that much of an exaggeration to say my eyes are bleeding, because it genuinely leves me with a headache and gives me the sensation of having something stuck in my eye.
No, that's right. But there's a still a lot of things the police get away with, especially with respect to drug addicts, "troubled youth" and other people who don't get believed/sympathy when they complain. And then there's NNPF, a not-so independent NGO consisting of current and former narcotics police, which advocates for (and largely runs, without political approval) a much more macho tough-on-crime narcotics policy with school visits etc, interventions which have been rightly rejected by the Norwegian social science and political establishments.

It's a constant fight to make sure Norwegian police doesn't drift closer to UK/US style police, and in many ways we are losing.

I've witnessed the opposite problem in Berlin. Parents, and the general public, seem underprotective of youth.

I used to live across the street from a primary school and the kids (no older than 10) would come out and smoke at recess in front of my building. Nobody batted an eye. Just yesterday I was walking behind some kids who couldn't have been older than 12 drinking and smoking, and that was in a nicer Berlin "suburb". Nobody cared.

We need to have our outgoing and incoming invoices being handled properly to not run into tax fraud issues.

By talking to creators from e.g. OnlyFans, the biggest issues they faced was explaining their earnings to the tax authorities with no proper invoices at hand.

By further automating those tasks, we will be able to reduce costs dramatically and might get rid of the bookkeeping fee alltogether.

There is not a 21 day lock up for pulling funds out.

The Terra blockchain is a proof of stake blockchain where you can stake Luna in order to gain rewards from various fees the network collects. Unbonding your staked Luna takes 21 days to complete.

One of the assets which you could use as collateral on Anchor is bLuna. bLuna is a token that represents a Luna that is currently being staked. Anyone who holds bLuna is able to redeem the rewards that staked Luna has accrued since it was last redeemed. When you give it to Anchor as collateral Anchor will start paying it's depositors with those rewards. It is possible to convert a bLuna back into Luna, but this takes at least 21 days to complete as the unstaking process takes 21 days itself. If you don't want to wait that long you can just sell the bLuna to someone else for Luna.

Feels like you'd have to offer substantially more premium, or more breakup fee, or (probably) both, if you've intentionally broken your last deal and then you turn around and propose another.

Now that's premium starting from a lower base, but...

Also, it does feel a little "manipulation"-y to tank the price on news of you yourself trashing your deal, then taking advantage of that to make the same deal but cheaper?

Also, his collateral for the buyout is Tesla stock, which took a 20% dip. If people believed he would truly buy at $54, they would let the deal go through and make bank. The fact that they are still selling down to $34 means that everyone is seeing through Elon's bullshit.

That only makes it even more impressive that he has managed to accomplish truly world-changing things like building reusable rockets or practical mass-market EV's. Most "narcissistic, manipulative, dishonest, hateful, lacking empathy, attention-seeking, unhinged" folks wouldn't manage to do anything even marginally worthwhile, even in such a key position as, e.g. being president of a large superpower.

You've literally tested it on a single file, enwik8. That's not enough to extrapolate valuable results. One of the benchmarks:

time ./bsc e ../linux.tar linux.bsc -e2 -b16 -T
68.69s user 1.14s system 99% cpu 117M memory 1:09.84 total

While bzip3 uses 98M, takes 1min 17s to produce a 129023171 byte file, compared to 127747834B from BSC. They're very similar except bzip3 tends to use less memory and decompresses a little slower. BSC is much more mature than bzip3 though, and the benchmarks might be a subject to change some time in the future. Surprisingly, BSC code isn't really that robust (I reported a UB bug to libsais and had to pretty much rework the LZP code because it couldn't stand fuzzing).
When I was a lead before retiring last year, I went to all the meetings instead of my team, but always kept them in the loop via Slack as to what was important during the meeting. I also wrote as much code as they did so was always understanding how the meeting decisions might relate to our codebase and future efforts. Of course it added a lot of extra hours to my workweek doing both, but I never had much issue over my career multitasking.

It's not easy or fun sitting in too many meetings though as I always asked a lot of questions to ensure product/design/execs could adequately explain what they were asking for; asking enough questions like this made sure we didn't waste too much time doing things that were likely to change. Meetings can be useful if you participation helps the workload; but it can drag down you and your team's productivity if it does nothing but waste time. Often people whose entire life is going to meetings don't understand how they can affect success simply by sucking up huge hours every day.
You mean baseboards? Checking them is a good idea; some do have a space for running a cable. So if there's no need to go over a corner, it might be an option.
