"I beg to differ, asset prices experienced massive inflation during that period."

Massive inflation, or just a return to their free market value.

Setting interest rates is an artificial market intervention. In a free market the base cost of money is zero, since it can be produced on demand at the push of a button.

The private price of money is then determined correctly by market action based upon credit risk and/or exchange risk.
> If C++ is available, I agree one should use it,

C is very simple, while C++ is a monster with 100 heads, each speaking in another language.

If all members of a project use the same subset of C++, then yes, it would be preferable over C. But if anyone or any team in a large project uses whatever he wants, things can get pretty complicated, pretty fast.
Unfortunately this is not a feature but a bug, and the worst kind, a bug at the language design level:

Basically, Julia tries very hard to make composability work, even if the authors of the packages that you're composing don't know anything about each other. That's a critical feature that makes Julia as powerful as it is, but of course you can easily end up with situations where one or the other package is making implicit assumptions that are not documented (because the author didn't think the assumptions were important in the context of their own package) and you end up with correctness issues.
Just ask Dorothy.

Rocky Linux 8.6 Available Now
Not meaning to be rude, but how is this relevant? Should no one ever buy or discuss anything that someone else, somewhere else couldn't afford? That is just not realistic and I think you are ascribing a fragility to that student that is condescending. That student knows how the world works, including all of its distribution of wealth issues. Give them some credit, they can take care of themselves. As for the software, there are lots of free alternatives.
I expect to have a newborn in about a year and I expect that newborn to want to spend a lot of time sleeping on me. I could imagine getting some work done this way.
This is very cool. Back in college, we had keyboards that were overused and of not very high quality. The wear and tear of several students pounding on them made the sounds of many keys distinguishable. The administrators had a simple password for root. It had two spaces and two number keys in it. Totally 7 letters long. I made some educated guesses by listening to the sounds while they typed it in and then used those to narrow down my brute forcing program (a C program I might add). That got me in in a few hours.
It doesn't have the resources nor a policy of "backing" bitcoin. By contrast, countries that issue their own currency have a central bank that is typically tasked with maintaining price stability, hence "backing" the currency.
What benefit is there in restricting the use of large amounts of capital to actors who control that capital free and clear?
True randomness produces ordered structures, so determinism emerges from it and both of them coexist, it's a matter of space-time scale.

I think many people want to spend less time consuming media ('social' or otherwise) and more time interacting with the physical world/people. But it is difficult to do that these days because there is endless attention-grabbing media to consume and that is what it feels like everyone else is doing so it becomes the default.

For me it includes HN.
>Go and Rust are similar in that aspect.

I think this poses a subtle security risk about namespacing. Who authorizes these packages? Who audits these repositories?

When you use a C/C++ library, there is obvious accountability. You know who maintains the repository (usually your distribution) or you explicitly copy someone elses code as a subrepository.
I see nothing wrong in having a preference if both C and C++ can be used for the same project and if the development speed is roughly the same.
Embedded devices really opened my eyes to this world. What a fool I was using malloc on my first Arduino project.
For me, I've found that social media doesn't affect my level of happiness and/or anxiety directly. What it does do, is take up a lot of my time almost imperceptibly - leaving less time for other, more meaningful activities. It makes me feel like I'm running out of time every day, which in turn causes a feeling of anxiety.
Indeed, these are important questions. Adding to this, in the last paragraph, the piece states, “Current knowledge of how genomes work is primitive. There is also a lot of so-called dark genetic matter in them, which does things currently unknown.”
Nickel is $12/lb, lithium $31/lb.

Nickel atomic weight is 59, lithium is 7. $12 * 59/7 == $101

There's one electron per nickel atom and one electron per lithium atom. Nickel is 3x more expensive than lithium on that basis alone. The only useful place I see for NiZn is drop-in replacement for alkaline cells, not mass storage. Nickel is the one of the most expensive part of lithium batteries: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/08/nickel-price-surge-could-thr...

I'm not sure where you get the idea that it is cheaper.

> LiFePO₄ are basically never recycled in practice.

Because they haven't reached end-of-life yet. No one is going to recycle perfectly good batteries.
Nope. Just that I wouldn't bet on any alt being uncoupled from BTC.
This technique can work with radio too.
If anything I think my social media feeds/friends have far far more nuance & balance, accept the duality of existence & show it off, far far far more than the bland & polemic media/news.

Imo the social media panic is mostly people afraid of genuineness & earnesty, or people jist afraid of an idea they dont at all have any connection to or understanding of.

There is a very very real problem that this world lacks accessible role models. That we dont know who to look to, that we dont have local examples. That's not a social media problem: that's just ehat happens when the well-to-do parts of the economy stratify up & up & up & real living gets trashy cheap & hard. Some people fall for the shallow signs that are projected, on social media or in other cultural distribution mechanisms (music is a big longstanding distributor of cultue for example). But the lack of real meaning far far far outstripsy concern with social mediacs ability to let shallow symbols spread.
> One of their largest industries (up there with tourism) is remittance processing

What percentage of El Salvador's GDP does remittance processing represent?
No real reason why not, aside from hypocrisy. It’s just “the code” of lawlessness, if you live outside the law you gotta stay that way.
>Not all news is designed for outrage.

I don't think I get anxiety from content "designed for outrage". But if I go to the front page of the Washington Post, here's what I see:

>Buffalo shooting suspect wrote of plans months ago, online messages show

>Only 22 saw the Buffalo shooting live. Millions have seen it since.

>A barrage of ‘never-ending gunshots’: Inside the Buffalo massacre

>Ukraine ends bloody battle for Mariupol, evacuates fighters in steel plant

>Republicans are bringing extremism to the mainstream

>White Americans must speak out against white supremacy

>Russia is losing. That might make Putin more dangerous.

I'd say that these headlines are more in the "giving me anxiety" camp than not.

This has a great feature that I can go from lying down to using the same desk standing up.

This works for me for comfort and for back issues. I do yoga twice a day so I am not infirm or compromised in any way. Part of that may be because I alternate with using the desk as a standing desk and a lying desk.
$5 of Bitcoin, if purchased a year ago, is worth like $3.50 now.
There's even more tons of research showing positive effects from meditation.

Meditation research generally is low quality, as is suffers from lack of defined methodology, lack of a consensus definition of what meditation is, and the general subjective experience of meditation. (Concretely, if you want to do brain scans on someone meditating, how do you know they're actually meditating? This extends to scans on people who are "experienced practitioners", how do you know they are experienced practitioners?)

Regardless, the vast body of research does not point to negative effects, most point to mild positive effects, and the medical field considers it perfectly safe for healthy people. If you want to use research, don't pick and choose the studies that find adverse effects, look at the overall body of research.
There isn't good evidence suggesting anything is "100% completely safe", but yes, the vast majority of meditation research shows mild positive benefits for practitioners, and the medical consensus is that meditation is perfectly safe for healthy individuals.

It feels a lot like the goalposts are being moved here, the original claim was that meditation is extremely dangerous unless you're doing Buddhism right, now we're asking if there's evidence that it's completely safe.
Biden administration unveils action plan to boost affordable housing
That seems odd. People get fined when trying to circumvent copyright (or more). Censorship laws don't disappear just cuz you have a trick around the implementation of some firewall.

I would also counter the idea that we choose whether code applies to us! Loads of daily interactions with different companies or the government go through automated systems that make their own decisions.

We don't have line item vetos on what affects us in life, in a lot of scenarios. There are a whole lot of package deals, and big bureaucracy is a part of that.
Ask HN: How to help prevent climate change with software?
Looking at the areas of the impact for software products. Would love to see some examples or even ideas that you have in your head (if you are willing to share) for potential products that are tackling climate change where impact can be high.

Can be anything from carbon capture, to renewable energy to alternative food and agriculture. Just looking for inspiration and see what other fellow hackers are working on.

One thing specifically I am trying to understand is which areas or verticals that need the most improvement.

I was also recently inspired by RedwoodJS launch and their fund for tackling climate change (I am not associated or affiliated). They are giving out some base funding for tackling such problems: https://tom.preston-werner.com/2022/04/04/redwood-v1-and-funding.html

I quit social media entirely many years ago: it felt like quitting smoking, just less difficult but the same level of benefits.

I also shifted how I get news: I don't read or watch "event-oriented" journalism (aka, reporting) and shifted entirely to analysis (through radio and press). The biggest win is that the timeframe is different, as analysis requires perspective, opposite to reporting which only focuses on the now.

I feel like I have a better, deeper, understanding of the world now, and with a slower pace, allowing a quieter perspective (which does not prevent from objective worry wrt current events).
How often are you telling the organization above you that you're not comfortable continuing on in your management role? If it's not very often, they may have forgotten about you. You may consider making this a talking point the next time you have a checkin with someone up the chain.

I don't think you need to threaten to quit, just remind them of the terms of your previous agreement. If that fails to get results, don't be afraid to take a two week vacation this July to remind them that you're not the long term manager of this team. It sounds like you may need a mental health break, anyway.

To prevent this from happening in the future, I'd suggest telling people that you'd be comfortable being the interim manager for, say, two months, and will also require semiweekly status updates about the progress on seeking a new manager. You may also wish to leave management experience off your resume.
Nah, they don't have very many mounting solutions available. I tried first using some camera gear / clamps and couldn't get it stuck in the right position, so I ended up using two of these gooseneck mounts: https://www.amazon.com/Tryone-Gooseneck-Tablet-Stand-Compati...

For anything genetic, mentioning ethnicity/nationality is potentially relevant.

Some genetic disorders are predominantly found in certain populations. Cystic Fibrosis is predominantly Caucasian. Sickle Cell is predominantly (or perhaps exclusively) African (ancestry). Etc.
I sometimes feel "belief" is a term used for things that are not readily provable, but also impossible to disprove. E.g. I believe God exists.

An axiom, in my mind, is a stronger, more widespread belief, for which there are no known counter examples. It aligns with your natural intuition, because you've never seen an axiomatic belief violated.
Does HN count as social media?
A, the contiguous unit is 1 month, not 1 day. That makes things a lot less stressful. Good to know.
Social networks were never social. Human interactions are complex and chatting online is just a glimpse, it distorts biological needs.

Satire columnist. But that would be poetic indeed.
When someone develops a distorted picture of the world and becomes an activist based on it, that's just as bad for society as if they had never activated in the first place. In fact you could make a case that it's worse, mass shooters tend to be highly ideological and have views that are at odds with reality.

The problem we have with social media (and to a degree traditional media as well) is that both the nature of the technology and the profit incentives of the platforms encourage shallow thinking and cognitive bias among users. Going from paper to screens was bad enough in terms of its documented effects on focus and comprehension. Add to that shrinking the screen down to the size of our palms, enforcing 280 character limits, amplifying the most outrageous voices etc. and I sometimes wonder how civilization is still intact!

I agree that people should maintain some form of awareness of social issues and participation in them, democracy doesn't work without this. But an information diet heavy on social media will promote a distorted awareness of the world. And time spent on social media feels significant but it doesn't actually effect change. Things that do include: voting, attending a protest, writing to your congressman, volunteering your time and labor, earning extra income which you can donate to a cause, etc.

There are a lot of ways to get informed, participate & influence society, social media is one of the worst. It's the junk food of activism.
That is the point of my comment: not all news sources are designed for clickbait. In contrast, consider The Financial Times's (FT's) headlines:

>Tiger Global slashes bets on tech groups after stock market sell-off

> News in-depth. Military briefing: why Russia and Ukraine are fighting over a Black Sea outcrop

> Investors pull $7bn from Tether as stablecoin jitters intensify

> Buffett buys $3bn Citi stake in value-hunting stock splurge

> Ethiopia atrocities cast long shadow as city of Lalibela prays for peace

> Qantas says synthetic fuel could power long flights by mid-2030s

Some of the news itself is tragic. But it's a false equivalence to claim that the headlines and article content between news sources (e.g. Washington Post vs. the FT) are equally outrage-provoking or informative. The Washington Post was listed in the middle because their articles are usually highly informative (from the number of interviewed people and documents analyzed), though their headlines are more clickbait.

Both The Washington Post or the FT are different from (typically) Salon, and each is a far cry from social media. Also, the debate of news media in place of discussing social media is exactly the effect that Zuckerberg intended with his comment.
True, though "end to end monitoring" usually refers to a service check or synthetics rather than metrics. I think before saddling myself with Prometheus I'd try just throwing together collectd or Telegraf first, or some other minimal agent and throw it all into some backend storage with a short lifecycle.
I can feel the pins and needles in my hands just by looking at that photo. How do you avoid this while laying down? I would prefer a semi reclined position rather than completely laying down.
I have a similar setup. I tried everything, ergo chairs, balance balls, standing desks, saddle chairs etc. I finally gave up on ‘ergo’ solutions and decided to build a setup around a recliner chair. It works for me and I highly recommend it.

Sure. But in the same way that 24 hour news networks are an obvious detriment compared to brief half hour or hour long "evening news" programs, social media's patterns to keep you engaged are also a detriment compared with, say, a quick text to the people you care about checking in. There's a real positive buried in there, but the financial incentive to capture eyeballs turns it into a negative.

In this case I was just using it as a figure of speech, commonly used in the crypto community.

It would be interested to see how different courts would settle the matter. I imagine it will be an interesting legal future for various crypto projects.
Yes, few people probably aren't affected by social media just like smoking & drinking. But from my personal experience many people really feel jealous/unhappy/lonely when they look on false reality. And, those influencer really makes everything worst.
To add to this. I don't watch the news anymore (maybe that makes me a bad person). I also rarely read it (except for hacker "news") but... Every few weeks I visit my mom for a few days and she wants to watch the news around 10pm. It always massively over hyped violence, crime, political outrage, and it's funny, in a sad way, that she always gets upset at it and ask her why she keeps watching. She says "for the weather" to which I reply (you can ask your ipad/iphone) but she keeps doing it even though every night it's clearly upsetting her. I think it's a habit like she feels they day isn't over unless she ends the night with news, even though it's 90% designed for outrage and sensationalism.

In my opinion, yes.

HN has been a significant contributor to my cynicism. There have been enough submissions in the past where I already knew what to expect from the comments section, especially in cases where my stance on the matter is already firm/obvious (such as with tech regulation, climate change, complaints about Twitter threads being reposted to HN, articles about social media dooming us like this one).

My reaction to these cases is typically along the lines of "yes, we know this bad, but what's going to change? What does continuing to complain here accomplish?" It's largely the same mechanism as those other toxic media platforms, and yet HN often falls for it as well. The band of people who decry Twitter et al. at the usual opportunities has persisted for years at this point, and they are unlikely to ever exit this community for good. Yet it's trivial from force of habit to click through to the comments anyway and continue to expose oneself to the usual negativity.

And I don't even use Twitter anymore - it's not like I disagree with many of those negative opinions. But after years and years of reading the same tired arguments, that negativity seems to transcend its original context to worm its way into your thought process as a general, persistent haze.
Get a split keyboard like the dygma raise. Now you have one less problem but still many problems.
MPesa is awesome, but entirely outdated and relies on a central entity; it was a good solution for its time, but it fails to do much other than scale. There was a bitcoin version of that called Bitpesa, which has been in Africa for some time, too.

> So yeah, Bitcoin and most other crypto are a joke compared to actual real life in use technology.

> Edit: Bitcoin does fewer than 300k transactions a day, so let’s be generous and say it does a million. That’s 365million transactions a year. MPesa has been regularly handling over 15billion transactions a year.

BTC transferred $3 trillion last year, rivaling Visa/MC [0], so your point is entirely disingenuous, hence why you posted this on a throwaway.
