> that directly contradicts the narrative that "anyone can make it" instead of the wealth and opportunities you're born into determining the likely upper limit of what you can hope for.

It depends on what we understand by "anyone can make it". I would argue that, if understood in terms of "anyone can [become orders of magnitude richer just by picking the right investments]" then that indeed is a narrative that is harmful and should be contradicted. Yes, of course outliers happen, and anyone may become stupidly rich from a low income if they're lucky. That doesn't mean it's a good idea to try, and people on an individual level should be discouraged from taking such huge risks unless they are very consciously aware of the consequences of their likely failure.

The other side of the issue is a systemic one. If a society finds it traumatic to accept that there is a likely upper limit as to what people can hope for based on their wealth and opportunities at birth, there is deeper problem. The problem may be cultural in that a society's members are too instilled with self-centred and unrealistic expectations (i.e. a culture of temporarily embarrassed millionaires), or it may be a deeper economic issue regarding inequality of incomes that makes surviving at certain levels of income without any hope of the smallest improvement leads to greater desperation and dreams of "breaking big". It may be a mix of both.

Coming back to "anyone can make it", it should be defended, but in the sense of "anyone can [reach a level of economic security to live a fulfilling life]". That however is not a principle to encourage the individual through dire straits. Rather, it is a principle that should guide public policy and cultural attitudes as a whole, so as not to have a society like I described earlier. In such a society the population won't feel the need take unrealistic risks only for a chance to get out of a rut or satisfy cultural fantasies. That's not to say it won't happen, anyone can be an outlier.

Eyles is sitting on my desk, up next in the queue. Good to hear it's worthwhile.
Oh, I see, thank you!
That is a possibility, but I think the point is that if BTC was $2k tomorrow, then whether or not it survives in the long term, it seems highly unlikely to at least some of us that it wouldn't bounce back to substantially above $2k again whatever it's long term fate is. It's a gamble, and I certainly wouldn't put money I can't afford to lose on it, but at some threshold the potential upside becomes significant enough to justify the risk. Where people put that threshold will vary. For me it's well above $2k.
Will it also break codebases in pure Python (without components written in C)?
Wasn't that law only introduced a few years ago?
Also: there were lots of independent projects to remove the GIL/speed up Python: from Google, Dropbox, and others.

But due to the leadership/community model/aversion to big changes (except for alienating people with 2 to 3 changes) none of this was in the context of CPython, they were independent versions, that never caught on, and didn't leave anything (or much) behind to the regular CPython when they folded.
I think that's basically hormesis? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormesis
People consume what's available, and what's available is US media.

Nobody in the west can catch up to the US in media production because the US is the biggest producer of English language media. English language media has the largest market in the west because English is spoken by nearly everyone as a second language, and US media reinforces this English language status, since people pick up the language due to its availability.

tldr: despite watching Friends on Netflix, many people still think the US is a rotten dirty capitalist hellhole.
>No one has actually really built such a quantum computer yet

What are you talking about? We've had very small quantum universal computers for some time, and quantum annealers for two decades. How did you miss that?

I regret to inform you that low bit strength RSA was even broken with a quantum annealer, not even a universal quantum machine. the NSA is a customer of D-Wave.

IBM's quantum roadmap has them shipping 1121 qubit machine next year, this year they've shipped a 400+ qubit machine. So far they've been able to keep doubling the number of qubits every year. These are universal quantum computers.

If they can keep scaling at that rate, both RSA and ECDSA are toast within a decade.
For devs:

- a good „MVC“ framework (Laravel, Rails, Django, Redwood) or a set of frontend focused libs and frameworks like Next+Prisma

- a css toolbox with predefined, common components, or a atmoic framework or something like scss, even plain css is expressive enough now.

- a cheap hosting option plus some minimal, light „devops“ automation.

Is all you need.
Now, your comment format follows a pretty typical pattern utilized by paid Russian trolls, so I'm likely wasting my time here. But anyway:

There is a slight difference between de-platforming Russian propaganda channels in the West, and Russia jailing anybody speaking about the war in any other terms than those approved by Kremlin.
It's quite simple - the last time the world woved without a binding contract to protect Finland from Russia, Finland had to cede large parts of their country in the end. And this is still very present in the minds of most finns, despite it being in the 1940s
For desktop and mobile, Flutter renders over OpenGL, why do they need to embed chrome ?

The websites that are exported from Flutter use the HTML canvas (used for games, animation, etc) instead of trying to generate HTML. This means accessibility and SEO are on existent for those sites. GP is complaining about this.
It's quite a jump to go from my comment to "gambling is an addiction".

Gambling is not an addiction. Gambling might become an addiction for some people, like many other things might.

The vast majority of people who 'invested' in crypto (or who go to Las Vegas for that matter) are not addicted. They think it's a way to get rich quick, and some did. They may also not have done their homework.

Sometimes when people make bad decisions and lose there simply isn't anyone else to blame. That's life.
One thing I don’t understand here: where does the smart contract get the information of the current luna/usd exchange rate? It can’t be an api call surely, it must be on-chain somehow.
I was surprised to see the suggestion of storing the state in the query string, not the fragment. Two URLs which differ in their query string are supposed (up to isomorphism) to identify different resources on the server, but here they don't, because they are only interpreted client-side. Whereas that is exactly what the fragment is for.

I've used the fragment to store client-side state in a few apps, and it seems fine.

Is there some reason to use the query string rather than the fragment?
Google disappoints me. They've got a bunch of talented engineers who IMO are the most ethical you'd find in FAANG, but from the very top their leadership has no passion. The founders recently ditched. The CEO has maybe done a lot, but he's never _said_ anything consequential, and that matters just as much. The only clear direction I've seen has been the infamous "frustrate and seduce" tactic mentioned by a YouTube head.

I refuse to believe that this show of gadgetry is just to keep regulators away. I think they're really trying to find their next thing, but the lack of drive is making everything cost so much that they abandon each time. Sometimes it's working out, though. The Chromebook has so far been a success in schools. And a lot of the smaller features mentioned at I/O are real and impressive.
> when the entire society is built around maintaining the lie

Maybe the part of society that contains the crypto enthusiasts. Every part of society with a shred of financial experience has been pointing out that 20% is really really high compared to the risk free interest rate. Of course, pointing out that something is unsafe will not make you popular with the people dreaming of getting rich.
>However, adding new members requires unanimous consent from all existing members, so it's not guaranteed to be smooth sailing.

I highly doubt that any of NATO's members will veto an application from Finland (or Sweden).
> You can always (if they have the cash on hand) swap 1 USDT for 1 USD

Exactly, until you can't as I outlined.

The price on a randombook is a function of many things, including "percieved" risk. Its also a function of liquidity/depth and the willingness to exit fast, ignoring the 1-3% fee.

Everyone and their grandfather knows tether doesn't have 1:1 asset reserves for their $80B market cap. But noone knows how much they do have and how long they can keep up the charade.
Did you do your tests in good lighting?

Did you compare raw sensor output, or post-processed?

Big sensors capture more light and have more bokeh. With enough light, the first doesn't matter, and bokeh is not a thing for QR codes.

If you didn't have enough light, then it's probably the question of how denoising was done, and what details have been guessed by fancy algorithms. Geometrical shapes are easy to guess, but when I look at pictures of landscapes, they typically devolve into a painting after 1000×1000px if taken on a phone.
You're missing the source for [0] - I'd like to know more.
I don't thinkit has to be that black and white, KISS in Linux world from my experience has been to see any software that isn't "simple" as bloat, while their software is like a car you only turn left with.
Python is not actually a single-purpose language for calling numpy or tf.
Probably because it’s not used by many so it’s fast enough for situations like this where ethereum is overwhelmed and slow/pricey.
> a presentation layer, and deferring to native plugins to do the heavy lifting when required

bruh it's not just UI, the JS/TS code is where the business logic code is. And anyway the UI is the whole point, we are debating UI libraries.
But most importantly native plugins are niche, you use them very rarely and for very specific needs, they occupy generally less than 1-5% of the code base.
e.g. when you need to access the camera or sensors, which you usually don't need and most apps don't actually benefit from plugins.
I'm not even talking about the fact that most of those niche needs are generally covered by equivalent modern web APIs (e.g. web share) but since plugins are trivial to use, people often use them even when a web api already exist.
Even with vastly lower income compared to the US, engineers still live quite comfortable. If we don't get gas we just use electricity for heating. Most probably don't even feel the price development at all.

But I expect inflation to be around 10% at the minimum, official numbers are skewed. Especially on day-to-day needs products. For many that earn less it is a difficult time, especially after long lockdowns. Most small commercial venues are dead and there don't seem to be new ones.
That's all irrelevant, since Tether is not an algorithmic stablecoin, and they claim to have 1:1 reserves for every USDT.
Interesting, from watching the feed it seems most BUY orders are in the range of 100-1000 USD (i.e. small investors) whereas there are some really large SELL orders in the range of 100.000-1.000.000 USD. My naive take would be that crypto enthusiasts still believe in Tether whereas larger investors leave the ship.

I mean it makes sense, if you have many millions invested in Tether you're probably better off selling now at a 2 % loss than hoping it will go back to 1 USD. Downside risk is much larger than upside potential as Tether will never go above 1 USD, so rationally it makes sense to withdraw all your fund from the coin as soon as even a small instability occurs. On the other hand it's mostly exchanges that hold Tether if I understand correctly, and those have a strong incentive to keep the system afloat so they shouldn't sell, though not selling will increase their risk as more and more of their customers offload their Tethers. Hard to say who will win in the end, but I guess we might find out how many USD reserves Tether actually holds.
I'm not sure about that--or at least, the reality seems more complicated.

Terra certainly has an element of complicated financial dynamics behind it such that people who know a little--but not a not--may think it's the greatest idea since sliced bread, and get eaten by the professionals. I agree with you there.

But a lot of the crypto ecosystem seems to be much more mundane than that. As far as I can tell, there isn't any financial wizardry behind NFTs; they're just a sort of weird social phenomena (is it a game? is it a market? is it sports betting?) where you can buy a thing at a price that has no basis in reality except insofar as someone else might buy the thing at an even higher price. I think that many--most?--people "investing" in NFTs realize and embrace the greater fool theory.

But, importantly, it seems to me that a random yahoo might actually be better able to predict when the gravy train will stop than an elite trader. So in some sense, it's quite egalitarian (if also stupid)!
Plumbing things correctly is complicated :)
UK has also made written guarantees to protect Finland (and Sweden) during the application process.

In practical reality, if Russia were to attack Finland or Sweden now, the answer from NATO would be pretty much the same as if they were already members.
There are many cryptocurrency experiments, not all are deflationary to be clear.
The real test for your hypothesis will be what happens the next time the Republicans get the presidency, the house, and 50% of the senate.

If the senate still acts as a moderating force (and doesn't push through extreme new legislative and judicial changes that tilt the system to further their advantage) then the wisdom of the current system will be empirically validated.
The process has been going on in unofficial sense since the start of Putler's war, but to minimize risks, the official process is only kicked off now. It was only started after it was verified that there are no internal or external blockers and that Sweden is in lockstep.
Sure thing I'll add in FAQ soon. If you do not want to solder then https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FLDCJCB is a good option as the connector is directly compatible with paperd.ink. But it has a lower capacity.

For a higher capacity, we recommend https://www.adafruit.com/product/258 but you will have to cut and swap the connections since the connector is of the opposite polarity.

Hope that helps!
I don't think anyone was assuming you were rich and multiple people gave you a direct answer to the actual question: It's part of Y Combinator, so it's well funded and doesn't take donations.

You could be a paying customer of some of their products. Other good ways to show appreciation: participate in good faith and follow the rules.
I don't think I'd ever try anything as extreme as that, but inducing mild inflammation is used in various less potentially crippling situations as well. One example is microneedling of the skin. Inducing damage to the skin through microneedling has been shown [0] to induce a healing response that can promote collagen production. This (sometimes in combination with platelet rich plasma during treatment) is often used for things like scar treatment, skin conditioning, sun spot reduction, and fine line treatment.

The current Baltic NATO states and Norway are much easier to defend having control over the Baltic Sea, plus Finland has a considerably strong military that now joins to strengthen NATO, so it should be a win-win for the both sides.

Oh yeah. It's Facebook that causes kids to become depressed or attempt suicide.

Nevermind the student loan debt crisis, the floundering economy or the authoritarianism sneaking in.

Definitely social media.

Spoken like the disconnected politicians creating these laws. Hilariously off the mark.

Social media is as dangerous for kids as video games. There's an argument to be made for advertising but I sense that is far beyond the perception of the people blaming social media for the state of the democratic society they've participated in for the past few decades...
If you're interested in rolling your own mini-Heroku, check out https://github.com/piku. I created it with the intent of having a similar experience and a very tight loop between writing code and getting it running, and it's been great bang for the proverbial buck (~1500 SLOC altogether).

Doesn't use containers, though, which many consider to be an anti-feature :)
I think Tether can get away with less than 100% collateralization. At the current market cap of 82bn, even if they are only 20% collateralized, it takes 16.4bn one way movement to deplete their reserve. Is that likely event? Guess it depends, but I think market makers would be more willing to backstop them than UST shitshow. UST has "death spiral" structure that makes MMs less willing to backstop them once it goes on a path, which is exactly what hedge funds attacked against these past few days.
AFAIK, Tether will not convert to USD for you unless you register and have >100k Tether. Therefore, most holders only ability to “cashout” is on exchanges. Obviously, this is problematic.
Modernizing ... by adding CSV support !?!
> The UK just yesterday agreed to protect Finland in the event of an attack, and the UK's involvement would likely bring in many other NATO powers anyway, so arguably they're getting protection they'd otherwise have to pay for for free

this was likely done to fix the race condition of starting the application process vs being under the alliance umbrella
This would be an improvement, but i think it illustrates the paucity of thinking in American politics.

You shouldn't be using single-member districts at all. It's basically impossible to represent people fairly with them. You should either have proportional election of entire legislatures (or state delegations to federal ones), or at least proportional election of a smaller number of multi-member districts.
> the Senate because it's not gerrymandered

You make it sound like there aren't partisan considerations that go into deciding which states are added to the union.
Russia has been threatening Finland/Sweden with consequences for years. As the Finnish PM mentioned in his speech with Boris Johnson a few days ago, Russia has shown with Ukraine that complying with Russia's threats is not a guarantee that the future will be consequence-free.
My prediction: Tether is not losing peg.
Very likely, although it still makes the decision to upvote a little more difficult than it should be; the current title ("Finland will seek NATO membership immediately") isn't really true (yet).

From the English-language translation: "We hope that the national steps still needed to make this decision will be taken rapidly within the next few days."

You print luna and 'burn' terra. Or when people get terra you print terra and burn luna. The luna tokens supposedly have value because they get a share of the transaction fees.

The printing of luna when people sell terra should be offset by luna having been burned when the terra was printed. Ideally (when the price of luna is growing) then you print less luna at sale time than you burned earlier when the terra was printed. This decreases supply of luna, making luna worth more.
We need to throw out Allopatic medicine that does not work, along with Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Naturopathic, Osteopathic bad healing techniques that work slightly better than Placebo in an Indian village in studies with less than 100 poor souls, and a questionable Control group, and rumors of payola floating around.

Meaning enough with the bullshit remedies that don't work.

Most Psychiatry drugs are on my hit list.

I can't believe these $450 a visit fancy boys are allowed to prescribe 90% of their bread and butter drugs. I'm not just picking on shrinks either, but they are an easy target.

I am beyond disillusioned that our FDA has approved drugs that are harmfully and actually don't work.

Tron has huge backing and is essentially one of the "defacto" standards when centralised exchanges want to transfer huge amounts of USDT between one another.

Presumably it is due to cost efficency of TRON but I suspect it's also to do with highly effective marketing or strong industry contacts etc.
Maybe the UK only agreed to protect Finland as part of a greater plan to join NATO.

In any case joining NATO would allow them to trigger Article 5. This is a much better deterrent than some vague "would likely bring in many other NATO powers".
It's a nice explanation (maybe leave out the "obvious" part?). How do you explain that the volume goes up first, and peaks at N=5?
It very definitely is.

You are conflating effectiveness (change in outcomes) with efficacy (change in outcomes relative to placebo or other intervention). Both are worth knowing, because usually there are no free lunches to be had - interventions (also those that are known placebos!) can have negative side effects.

Not sure if that's what you meant: In Germany, e.g. acupuncture (and other specific types of homeopathic treatments) are reimbursed by public health insurance, for specific conditions. Exactly because they can induce a significant beneficial placebo effect on average while having less risks, and being cost effective.

BTW, depending a bit on jurisdiction, placebos are routinely given even in hospital care. If you have family/friends who are doctors, do ask them.
Fair enough. I must imagine there will be intense pressure from NATO members towards Hungary if they're the only ones protesting. Is there a process for booting a member?
I would argue from a theoretic point of view no, but because the GIL causes execution of Python threads to be "batched", there surely will be racy code that seems to work now, and will start experiencing failures or more of them without the GIL batching.
Given that markets are ripe with bots and aggregators, it's hard to say. The big money could be small investors, and the small money could be big one. It's impossible to tell without insider knowledge.
Yes, I am. It does many things well but last time I used it (about a year ago), I couldn't get it to do what I focused on with this project: create a catchy melodic hook that could be a base of a hit song or an earworm commercial jingle. I believe this requires an element of surprise in a melody - it's much easier to just create something pleasant-sounding, without anything fancy related to neural nets.
