>ask somebody else to go through the process of building that theoretical site

What are you talking about?

The poster claimed these types of sites exist, I only asked them to show me the evidence of it, and I implied the reaction would most certainly not be one of passive acceptance or lack of comment like we see with this one. I obviously did not say they themselves should build it.

>or would stop you from buying a whites in tech domain, building a site around the concept and submitting your articles here

I disagree, but I acknowledge someone would have to run the experiment to know for certain.

I do commend you for not being a hypocrite, and supporting others who may also "not mind" when people "make websites about others folks like them in tech".
The restrictions that some states put on gun purchases/ownership have are quite excessive and onerous, and may end up being struck down by a SCOTUS decision coming down within the next few months.
I mean, if they really wanted to make gas unaffordable, they could have raised gas taxes to European levels. I think most people know we are in a Catch-22: the majority of Americans are totally dependent upon affordable gasoline to go about their daily lives. You don't want these people to suffer, which is what happens when prices are high, but you also don't want them to become even more dependent upon low gas prices, which is what happens every time that gas prices collapse.

We should be celebrating that we can now see a way out of this endless trap, and embracing EVs across the political spectrum.
Yeah, I'd suspect that if this lawsuit succeeds it's going to be on the grounds that Tesla's marketing gave users the impression that their self-driving tech was better than it really is, contributing to negligent driving even if they were technically warned. (And, of course, "you can mostly not pay attention, until it's incredibly urgent that you be paying attention" is quite the recipe for unfortunate accidents.)
It was a highway.
I'm going to have to spend at least 10 minutes today contemplating the implications of
"to find a previously unrecognised substance occurring in nature is... mere discovery and therefore unpatentable. However, if a substance found in nature can be shown to produce a technical effect, it may be patentable. An example of such a case is that of a substance occurring in nature which is found to have an antibiotic effect."

that's an important subtlety (specifically, allowing patenting if a substance can be shown to have a "use"). Maybe nature should hire a lawyer and do some preemptive patenting.
You could ask him.

Why do you think it looks and feels differently than Oberon-07 or any version before? See e.g. here: http://oberon-lang.ch/2021/07/15/examples-with-traditional-s.... A valid Oberon, Oberon-2 or Oberon-07 program is also a valid Oberon+ program.

The lower case keywords and other simplifications are just an option to make the language a bit more contemporary and attractive for younger generations. Oberon+ doesn't stop you from writing code that looks like it's straight out of the sixties.
im not going to tell you you're wrong for respecting him, but i feel this comment is only telling half the story. He's very well respected in the "rationalist" community, but he and that community are pretty controversial and definitely not universally respected
You might want to check out a tool Vizier: https://vizierdb.info (I'm one of the devs). Direct interaction with notebooks state (e.g., dataframes as spreadsheets) is one of the central ideas, and it's fully open source.
Yes, agreed. I was just saying that client side rendering makes more sense; which library you choose is up to you.
Your link doesn't demonstrate that all people learn in the same way, merely tries to debunk a specific/narrow set of learning styles (that seem bizarre in the first place)

This, a million times this. Speaking as HN's resident web3 apologist, it's amazing how people keep trying to defend cryptocurrencies based on some anti-finance-system ideology, but throw it all out of the window when it comes to Tether.

Tether is not a bank. Not in the US, not in the Cayman Islands, not anywhere. Everyone holding or trading Tether could be using a test network, and the monetary value of the token should be the same.
It just isn't a very interesting critique in and of itself. If the OP was pointing out how their ideological outlook influenced the facts presented in the story, or how they left some complicating factor out, then it would be useful. However C.J. Ciaramella, the author of the piece has a long history and good track record of reporting on police misconduct, and civil rights abuses. Moreover the article is covering reporting originally done by WXYZ Detroit, so it not even originally from Reason, they just picked it up for their audience.

My overarching point is that unless you can point to the ideology of the publication negatively influencing the reporting it's just lazy and useless criticism.
That's so frustrating. I'm in NYC and had a crappy experience shopping for cars as the pandemic was taking off. The dealers seems dis-interested, but they would certainly sell a car for their asking price. I ultimately ended up going with a cheap old used car that I bought directly from the previous owner. If I get to a point where I want a new car, I think I'll just order it.
Have they reversed this? Just tried and old.reddit still works as usual.
> if scarcity is not needed or desirable for MtG players why would they not just release all cards individually for the same price? why should any card be harder than another to acquire?

Because it's desirable for the publisher? Since, you know, they make way more money that way.

> if MtG uses this model for deck building it sounds like pay-to-win.

It is pay-to-win, up to a point. There is an upper ceiling on how much a top-tier deck can cost to acquire (usually a few hundred dollars, in the most popular formats), and after that point money no longer confers an advantage. That's how it can be a competitive game at all, even when you bring your own deck.

> a blockchain game can just be pay-to-own and play-to-own like most games on the App Store, except the assets assigned to the user is not attached to a single App Store account and do not involve a 30% take fee. imagine these game assets could still be held even if you switch from Apple to Google phone, because the assets are detached from your phone company’s accounts.

Very nice - for the player. Why would the game publisher, Google, or Apple want to make an effort to recognize assets from a blockchain they do not control and do not profit from?
They kinda do, but it is quite cumbersome. You have to use Firefox Nightly, and create an Add-on Collection on the marketplace, and then add that collection to Firefox. That is how I use uBlock on Android.

(Last time I try, if you want to add an extension, you have to create a new collection and ... reinstall Firefox, but maybe that's just me.)
I agree that "most software development" is not about serving the creative spirit of the coder, but it'd be a shame to lose that! And if in some way we could have our cake and eat it (i.e. enjoy the creative process of coding for most software) sounds like a win-win to me! Idealistic, but one can dream ;)
There is a decent circular economy growing around bitcoin, at the very least you can purchase gift cards with them which hold dollar amounts to get whichever services you'd like!
I doubt it. British media can be sued, in Britain under British defamation laws, by foreigners too. That's why they're careful with rich white celebrities, even if they're foreigners. But less rich or famous (or white) foreigners (or their entire countries)...? Naah, not so much.
Bitcoin hasn’t crashed at all. It’s still at similar prices it was early 2021. Let it go to under $5k then I will load up
"I think this is an extraordinary claim given some of the crashes and near-crashes that have happened"

Humans crash all the time.

It would be interesting to see a comparison of how often humans crash vs how often Teslas crash while the car is driving "autonomously".

I would not be at all surprised if humans fare worse, as there are plenty of horrible drivers, angry/distracted/inexperienced drivers, drunk drivers, sleepy drivers, etc...
Neat! Can you explain what the KNn is doing? I can’t quite follow the paper.
I certainly read that as defeatism. Is there an alternative avenue for reform outside the legislature, independent of how difficult it is?

Legislatures don't want to make any change unless the people want it. People have to demand it.
Autopilot is a great name for the feature. An aircraft autopilot controls speed and direction, within limits. The Tesla feature does the same.

An autopilot in an airplane does not absolve the pilot of responsibility to maintain vigilance and avoid unsafe conditions. Same in the car.
See my other response here[1], but just pointing to the ideology of the publication as a form of criticism is substance-less and lazy.

The Burn Multiple – How Startups Should Think About Capital Efficiency
An immense benefit to the technical community..thanks a lot
I only recently learned to use RHEL (did the RHCSA) and from before I've used debian and Slackware. RHEL is really polished, more so than the competition. I asked around why more people aren't using RHEL in Scandinavia, and the reply I got was that it was mostly cultural.

In Europe it's Debian or SUSE, and in the states it's RHEL. I don't have a preference (but Slackware is awesome).
And particularly the means--smoking it versus taking orally. A lot of these stims are terrible if snorted or injected, they used to warn patients never to do that or risk becoming addicted.

There is a methamphetamine that is prescribed to ADD's, not the same as the street version of course.
Can you explain what the big deal is? I’m still in the early learning stages.
This is funny/sad because it is true now
FWIW I know a handful of people of all ranges of success in the tech startup world, managing tens to hundreds or thousands.

Some of them are very driven by the stress of management, and seek it out. Their mentality is that a work situation isn't worthwhile if it isn't pushing you to your limit.

But they're the minority. I feel like you either know that you're this kind of person or you're not.

The rest feel burdened by their situation, and would happily trade for yours 300 days out of the year. They not-irregularly make comments, in private to friends, along the lines of "sometimes I wonder if I'm living life wrong? maybe I should be in the park with my kids instead of on the nth investor call or one-on-one with a direct report".

Like most questions, I think you can answer this with a mixture of experiments and introspection. You say you've manage contractors, for example.

Do you ever feel like you wish you had more responsibility for their lives? The urge to give mentorship is real, do you wish you could do that in a professional setting?

You can probably find ways to scratch those itches that are outside your company, too, for what it's worth.

You're in a good position where you get to "choose your own adventure", so you should experiment with it! Document your feelings, find somebody to talk it through with, iterate towards a happier spot. There's always ways to test your curiosities without sacrificing everything, if you get clever with it. :)
It’s not just 0.1% off the peg. It’s 0.1% off and facing large redemptions.

That makes the peg loss seem significant
This isn’t even remotely true. You’re conflating 3 or 4 things with this mistaken understanding.
I live on a street in NYC where the sound of a skateboard is nothing compared to sirens (cops will punch them to run the red at the corner but sometimes it’s ambulances or fire trucks) and the ridiculous mufflers mentioned in the article. I can’t even imagine being bothered by the sound of a skateboard.
Just a heads up the "Discuss on HN" button links back to the blog post and not HN. Not sure if that was intentional or not.
I guess what the question is, is whether there's a chess position where every piece is in a legal position, but could never be achieved in practice.

I can think of several, for example if you had all 32 pieces on the board, but pawns were behind each other on the same file.
I suspect you're right. From the article: “We met up and like I fucked a couple of them and I was able to get my account back like two or three times,” she says. “

It sounds like she's saying she met up with more Meta employees than she actually fucked. So what happened with the others, did they get cold feet and back out of the deal? Maybe. Or maybe they they didn't realize there was a deal at all, and thought the meeting was simply a date that didn't pan out.

Especially if you know why it sucks you can work around the suckage; but 99% of everything sucks, so if you don't know why the new shiny thing sucks, you're gonna have to find that out yourself, under fire.

(This can even happen between various old and established things; if you know MySQL and all its warts well, perhaps switching to the relatively unknown PostgreSQL "because it's better" isn't the best use of your time. You should be able to explain why and why not before making the switch. When in doubt, do what everyone else is doing - unless it's your differentiator.)
So assume Tether loses its peg. Worst-case:

1. Anyone holding Tether tries to cash out. Whales and important customers are allowed to redeem USDT for USD at a 1:1 ratio. Tether sells its crypto and other assets to cover redemptions, driving down the price of those assets.

2. Eventually Tether limits the withdrawals.

3. You're stuck with Tether you can't withdraw. What do you do? Try to exchange it for BTC or ETH ("blue-chip" crypto), which you can then hold or cash out on an exchange that is USD- or USDC-denominated.

4. Any exchange with Tether-denominated crypto prices are going to see those prices EXPLODE as there will be no sellers of the crypto. So you'll see some sort of weird market where BTC on Bitfinex costs $500k but BTC on Coinbase costs $10k.

5. If you're still stuck with Tether, you lose all your money or everything gets tied up in court a la Mt. Gox.

EDIT:

Fun potential #6 - if you're holding crypto on an exchange with Tether exposure, they may not allow withdrawals. The holder of the private keys may seize your assets to cover their debts.

Not sure how likely this scenario is, but even Coinbase (about as regulated as it gets in crypto) recently admitted that its bankruptcy could wipe out user funds: https://fortune.com/2022/05/11/coinbase-bankruptcy-crypto-as...
It's almost impossible to say for sure. It could be anything from "the crypto market is shaken a bit, but quickly recovers" to "it leads to the downfall of the entire crypto ecosystem". Any more specific estimations are ultimately just a guess.

That being said, from an outside observer, the crypto market does not look healthy right now, and Tether is part of that. The safe guess is that the crypto market hasn't reached its low point yet, and its impossible to say if it will ever get back to November 2021 levels again.
> whether Tether is fully collateralized ultimately doesn't matter. As long as there are well-capitalized parties (Bitfinex, other exchanges) that want to prop up Tether, it will be fine

This is true for every pile of toxic crap that's ever been financially engineered.

The problem is the entangled financial health of the backer (in this case, Bitfinex and other crypto exchanges) with the backee (Tether). If creditors to the system (in this case, lenders to and customers of the exchanges together with holders of Tether) don't have transparency into the health of the nodes, a small crisis of confidence can prompt a run. (How do you know the parties are "well capitalized"?)

Critically, this can occur even if the original impetus was survivable. The opacity causes people to doubt the system's survivability, which avalanches into a run that no system can survive. Perversely, everyone knows this pattern, which increases the chances of small perturbations careening out of control. Add in that a crisis in any part of this system creates a systemic risk and the outcome becomes, as it's been across history, inevitable.

Holding Tether is putting money into a 19th century free bank, except instead of interest you get to stick a finger to the Man.
Are you sure thats a typo? Being ten revs behind seems like a very common RHEL practice.
I'm reading HN regularly and didn't see similar discussions. You are right, I should have searched for it before submitting. There's no need to be toxic though, I was genuinely curious.
There are numerous studies supporting it's efficacy, but none that are really independent and conflict-free. This is the start of how something starts to be called medicine.
Physician scientist here: this study is a bit dated. Many of these issues have been "solved" (depending on your threat model) within the last ~7 years. Most healthcare systems have adopted Imprivata [1] for SSO, where physicians tap a badge and are connected to (usually) a VDI session of Epic.

What this study misses is the real driver of EMRs: billing. EMRs exist to facilitate billing documentation to charge for patient care. Yes, they have other benefits (like viewing lab results), but if you ever see true critical care (at the bedside, in an ER, or in an ICU) little depends on the EMR (or even labs for that matter).

A few comments here talk about patient notes: in most clinical environments, inpatient notes are useless, and a tedium required to bill. They're filled with copy-pasted jargon to meet insurance company requirements. True patient care happens in less than ~1 paragraph of text called a handoff. [2]

Tether has the veneer of bank equity from the balance sheet "attestations" it publishes, but I think a better analogy would be that tether issues casino chips for the decentralized casino that encompasses the tether-based offshore exchanges and defi universe.

There isn't any real visibility into the balance sheet, but I'd guess most of the "collateral" boils down to margin loans issued at the exchanges, and since the house has the edge on those platforms, their ship stays afloat.
No, once you have leverage the ratio doesn't matter anymore. It's just whoever has deeper pockets wins.
I appreciate you including the DOI link in your comment. I like the fact that ACM has released some articles but as someone not entirely familiar with all the different ACM publications I am unsure as to how to sufficiently limit my search query to find downloadable articles. Perhaps they will add a specific "open access" filter to their search (I unsuccessfully tried searching "open access" but perhaps none of the articles are indexed by their availability). Thank you very much.
Obviously I can't. The same goes for the case where my car with auto braking kills you—auto braking reduces the risk slightly but doesn't offer absolute protection. Either way the liability for your death is mine as the operator of the vehicle, though if it can be traced to a defect in the auto-braking system I might be able to redirect that liability to the manufacturer. There are any number of other ways you could die due to an accident or negligence, and we can't make you whole for those events either. The best we can do is try to atone for it with respect to those you leave behind—to make up, as much as possible, for the hole your absence leaves in society. That doesn't mean we paralyze ourselves with inaction or always prioritize marginal improvements to safety (even others' safety) over all other concerns.

Inconsistent care is a really good point. I wasn't trying to be negative - hope it didn't come across that way. I was hoping to point out that systemic issues in health care management, at least in a lot of countries, seems to be more of a problem that tech for things like this.

Out of curiosity, how are you handling the data access and labelling issues here? I suspect that's the key issue that has limited the performance of the commercial offerings (hardly limited to this problem or this space).

OTOH in terms of real impact, properly leveraging a more modestly successful algorithm will probably help more people than getting a few more %. With the (strong) caveat that in a space like this you really have to look at work-up rate and balance risks.
Speaking only for myself, my laziness is really the only reason that I've not been doing whatever things I could be doing. And that has been consistent throughout changes in my economic situation.
Absolutely! Software development is all about making money, and I think this in general is at odds with creativity (different goals, methods, practices, whatnot). However, I also think that there is large group of people who does not code for money, but to make art, have fun, or express themself, and "to serve the creative spirit" is exactly what they need.
This happened to me in my computer graphics class. The first exam had a multi-part problem where the first part involved quaternions. I was familiar with quaternions from my time as a physics major, but did not remember the professor introducing them. I reviewed my notes afterwards and found that he did in fact mention them in passing in a lecture two weeks previous to the exam, but did not call particular attention to them nor did he assign any homework involving them.
