Here's something that's extremely disturbing to me.

"Republicans have become the purveyors of misinformation, and when our two-party system is broken like that, democracy is seriously in trouble. The president acknowledged that it's time to actually start doing things and maybe taking some names and putting people in jail."

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/05/17/carl_came...

I would say jailing press for printing things the government doesn't like is way more obvious a threat to democracy than the information they publish. This is no longer a slippery slope if this guy would even consider uttering this on national TV. We would be going into pretty blatant authoritarianism.

They are just stating their opinion in an 100% neutral way. You are free to ignore it. People give "unsolicited advice" here all the time. It is a forum where people post things for others to read. Why do people get so easily upset whenever the word "religion" is displayed, heard or even implied?
If there isn't criminal enforcement these scams will continue to grow and amplify.

Risk of private action can be mitigated by making sure the victim's best recovery comes from selling their position along to a greater fool. At the end of this process the last bag holders individual losses are enough to not justify the cost of litigation. Costs which are all the greater for private individuals because they lack the governments power to investigate.

(and if fools run out a bit too soon, a bit of the initial income can be used to vacuum up the remainder)
If your aim is to connect with one of the best electrical services in Toronto, then you must approach the best service provider. Most property owners, whether residential or commercial, acquire the most profitable service that matches their preference. Whenever you have an electrical emergency, you must consult with the right service provider that strives to deliver an all-in-one solution.
VCs mostly fund crypto to make incredible amounts of money by pumping and dumping on retail. Take Solana as an example. 40% of their initial supply was allocated to insiders. Giving those VCs and founders the ability to dump on retail. It’s truly abhorrent behavior [1]

This is actually dangerous advice for a lot of forms of addiction... You MUSTN'T quit certain substances cold turkey, especially after prolonged abuse, because the intake of them are part of the body's homeostasis.

It's also very inconsiderate... Addiction generally has much deeper roots than just "craving the high" since it can be maladaptive coping mechanisms people develop due to traumatic childhoods (or later life, but less likely). Eg, substance abuse/addiction is commonly found in people who suffer from CPTSD.

The high isn't "I'm having the time of my life" for these people, but a a way to disconnect and silence their brain demons.

Also, a lot of people don't know they were abused or neglected as children (becaus it's "their normal") and then go through life as struggling with all sorts of internalised shit.

Edit: Also a very important thing I want to put out there: if anyone struggling with addition reads this, addiction isn't something to be ashamed of or to put yourself down over. It might not be your fault. But most addictions are maladaptive, and the sooner resolved the more you will get out of life. Don't be ashamed of yourself, and don't hate yourself for it

It’s accepted in court that a simple email showing the file as an attachment is acceptable.

Certainly blockchains are more trustworthy, but acceptableness in court is a pretty low bar. I mean having something signed on paper in front of a notary is acceptable.

What cases are you involved with where a notary isn’t acceptable? Or a non-blockchain digital signature?

I’m involved in really high dollar amount contracts and we just use pki-based digital signatures with a time stamp. Of course the time stamp could be fraudulent, but so could the notary’s stamp. But its acceptable in court and stands up to litigation.

I also teach a class and would accept an email from the student as proof. To me that’s more reliable than me having to research some blockchain signature that I’m unfamiliar with.

These are hypothetical use cases and don’t solve a real problem. And they certainly don’t justify paying transaction fees as they are now. It’s cheaper to just pay DocuSign.

To be clear, I was interpreting josu's “these platforms” as the layers on top of UST, not inclusive of UST itself. He also mentions that they might be ”front ends for a ponzi” which is basically where I fall on this. (So, to your question, the answer would be that the yields in fact do come from a ponzi mechanic)

This is a pretty meaningless distinction if you invested in them, because you were exposed to the same mechanics, but it does have some implications for culpability because it's the difference between “should have known it was a ponzi” and “actually operated a ponzi”.

Ask HN: What is your src of info ref new solutions/products for DC self-hosting?
Been out of touch in this area, for a while, i.e. since my last "private cloud" project, during which I had available solutions like HCI of the likes of Nutanix, Cisco, HP and an immature (at the time) AWS Outpost, all with their own HA and storage solution.

I am now in position to revisit and maybe reconsider options, for replacement (if not expansion of existing, if solution allows for such) of what appears to me as a *non-scalable* design at this time. The solution consists of a 3-nodes Proxmox cluster (KVM cluster for VMs and containers), with CEPH shared storage, sync-ed over infiniband, using some local disks. I would really like to end up with a much more scalable solution (add components more easily, as demand on (v)CPU and mem grows), with HA preferably not only "inside" a DC, but also across multiple (active/active, if possible) DCs, more scalable storage, etc., etc.

> Buys a pallet of llama wool, seller gives a non-conforming receipt. Buyer goes back to France, imports the pallet as "cotton"

I think we still disagree a bit, but I can't quite define why. Regardless, thanks for the discussion!
The broadest definition of addiction I've heard is "When you do something compulsively enough that it's affecting the rest of your life" - the implication being that everyone compulsively do things and that's fine but it's only really a problem when it damages your relationships, careers, happiness, etc. All brain stuff has a chemical component but chemical dependency/addiction is a particuarly dangerous subset of addiction, and not necessarily what I'm talking about here.

Many people here have the super power to focus on a problem relentlessly, it's kind of the trademark of the nerd stereotype - Addiction is the dark side of that superpower and one that I have to constantly keep in check. But I don't want to kill that superpower by squashing whatever thing I'm deep into at the moment, so I always use the litmus test - "Is this affecting the ability to keep my life in order?"

As long as there isn't a strong chemical component to whatever addiction you're trying to purge, a book like "Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg has a lot of practical ways to adjust your unconscious compulsions.

I truly think Buddhism has the best offer here on addictive behavior. Detachment is a main topic, their teaching can be consumed in "secular" way (with needed to believe in any unseen phenomena), the teaching does not place much outside of oneself.
That's kind of a strawman. Serious Catholic thought (John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Pope Benedict, etc) doesn't try to "remove the doubt" at all. I highly recommend Ratzinger / Benedict for modern text, and the great contemplatives for non-modern texts. They grapple with doubt and all other tricky subjects head on, and have a broad (and in my opinion accurate and subtle) view of the journey of life.

Well. Sometimes you want to know a solution to a problem and not only the dimension of the solution space : )

Also for composition: If you have "compatible" matrices B,C. How do you compute the restriction: A|_ker(B), A|_im(B) or co-restrictions (factor projections): A/ker(C), A/im(C), etc.
I was just about to say the same thing. Thomas is the first person who comes to mind. He said he wouldn't believe Jesus rose from the dead unless he saw him and his scars. Job is an entire book about wrestling with God. It's all about why would a good God allow all this suffering? All his friends tell him to just denounce his faith and move on with life. And several of the people throughout the Bible don't doubt that God exists, but they do doubt that He will do what He promises.

So there are definitely religions that encourage doubting whether God exists. Eventually you have to come to some sort of immovable mover. Whether that's the Big Bang or God, so there's nothing inherently illogical about believing in something that is timeless and has always existed.

With respect, you didn't actually answer my question, which was what it would mean in concrete terms for 'most of these stories [of Russian military incompetence]' to be Ukrainian propaganda. Your response said very little about the Ukraine conflict specially, except to make the general (and I suppose irrefutable) point that Russian successes 'might be' exaggerated.

What I'd really like to know is what people who believe that the Russian military has acted competently believe about the situation on the ground. Do they think, for example, that Russia is actually in control of large areas of Ukraine and is making significant advances? Do they think that Zelenski is close to capitulating? Or do they somehow believe that the Russian armed forces have failed to achieve all of their strategic goals and yet not actually been incompetent?

>Any sources that will back this claim? Oh wait, you don't need facts. Do you give this sort of unsolicited religious advice to everyone or do you specifically choose people who are troubled?

I mean, there's a fairly strong Darwinistic argument for the validity of certain religions. Very few belief systems have survived a hostile environment for anywhere near as long as the big religions.

If religious belief systems are "wrong" (in the sense of being useful for navigating the world, not in the sense of satisfying certain conditions of symbolic logic and reasoning), then why have these religions triumphed over secularism time and time again?

I'd still consider myself an atheist, but even then I'd be careful to be so dismissive of belief systems that have proven themselves over the course of millennia to be incredibly powerful, enlightening and enriching.

> The problem I have with religion is the focus on "removing the doubt", which I strongly disagree with

This isn't the case as often as you might think. Consider religions like Unitarianism, for example. You can also make a strong case that the doubt is baked foundationally into Christianity itself-- consider Zizek's readings of Chesterton and Hegel:

> Knowing that HN is generally against it, I say it anyway

I am actually on the contrarian side of you, but thanks for putting you out there. I understand and respect your point and everything, but there is one thing, that I want to put out regarding what you said. To state the following, is quite problematic:

> Religious scholars have actually been the best psychologists but are generally dismissed by non-believers.

Without going into detail, for every profession, there are people who are good and bad at it. This has nothing to do with any background or anything. The difference with psychologists and priests/ missionaries/ etc. is, that one is certified and the other is not necessarily certified. This makes a huge difference in liability of the term/ role and it's rather dangerous to put them in the same bag. And I don't think to make this distinction is not dismissive.

And out trots another case of certain interests looking for excuses to censor, prohibit, "regulate", control and generally blame tools that tend to be used for individual expression because of their supposed role in making a violently mentally unstable person do or discuss things that normal people wouldn't normally do regardless of what they read, wrote or saw.

Doesn't at all remind me of every previous case of certain books, video games, publishing tools and communication technologies being blamed in the name of "safety" as an excuse to clamp down.

Remember how E2E encryption is a "terribly dangerous" thing because it protects pedophiles? Yeah....
I've never had anything against religion and know it is good for my family but there's just no way I'll ever get over my skepticism so it's not a choice. I think most nonreligious people are the same

People that have gone through horrible circumstances can, and often do, benefit greatly from the moral certainty that religion provides.

I think a great comparison to the current situation with social media is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraethyllead -- because of the following:

1. The companies that run these giant platforms know about the problems they cause

2. Those companies are hiding data about the problem

3. Those companies are doing nothing to fix the situation

4. Those companies are actually doing everything they can to make the situation worse

Even worse than oil companies and lead in gasoline, these companies absolutely rely on generating hate, because that generates clicks/doomscrolling which brings them revenue. So they will continue to do nothing about this problem until they are forced to. The tool to force them to do this is government.
In the UK it does and I would say it is a bad thing. It is more or less delegalizing working class sociolect.
Notes and Reminders.
I'm not an addict, but I'm addict adjacent, literally and metaphorically. While it's good that the poster identified the problem, the cold turkey approach is not usually sufficient. Beating addiction by simply removing the thing you are addicted to is very difficult because it leaves a big hole in your life. You need to replace your addiction with something healthy. Andreas did very effectively because he found something that both occupied his time and gave him a new community.
