The crux of the matter:

"The law voided Friday was on shaky ground from the get-go, with a legislative analysis saying it could be difficult to defend. Then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed it despite the potential for it to be overturned because he wanted to send a message during the #MeToo era."

The true purpose of this law was political career boosting, not actual change.

ABP - Always Be Procrastinating

Especially with Google, they have the sort of high level decision making that is only sustainable if you are constantly drowning in cash. You need to give them a little time to come to their senses. Let the bad PR soak in a bit and work its way up the reporting chain.
Cats don't meow as a threat. They growl. The varying tones and pitches in which they do so carry information of their own, and sometimes are in similar ranges to a meow. But listen closely to the timbre and intonation next time you find the chance, and you'll probably find yourself able to notice how similar the two sounds are not - not least in that a growl carries much more information.

You're right that meows are by default how cats talk with their kittens. They also bring kittens dead or nearly dead prey, as the first step in teaching them how to hunt. That they choose to use the same idioms with us I think constitutes an eloquent comment on how clever they find us.
When you use or own a cryptocurrency, some of your wealth is transferred to miners in exchange for securing the network (block reward, fees -> mining, development). When you use or own a fiat currency, some of your wealth is transferred to governments in exchange for securing the economy (inflation, fees -> regulation, protection).

I think it is generally unfair to make the taxpayer to front the bill of the government protecting cryptocurrency institutions (via the justice system), especially when the cryptocurrency networks are supposed to be trustless and self-securing. That's basically a net transfer of wealth from the public to a special interest group of cryptocurrency users, and furthermore a rival financial system.
yeah sorry about that, thats just off the top of my head. it was a wild time for me, so the events happening at the time coincided with me reading about the whole debacle live as iojs was happening.
yes, are those swap forks cheaper than using AAVE?
They really bungled the versioning.

On my internal network servers I use wp-supercache to generate static pages on page visit, then I use a shell script that iterates through all possible article, rss, tag, and category pages with curl at varying intervals, forcing a cache build. In parallel I rsync all the images and statically built pages to my public edge. The public only gets to interact with content that is completely static and don't have php installed at all. It is easy enough, and the only real way to allow people to install whatever dumb wordpress plugins that they want on the internally installation without getting the sites owned all the time.
Social media isn't the world, or a big matter. One can still read/engage with the news without having to deal with as many dark patterns. We don't have a public digital square, but I'm not going to help Zuckerberg et al further privatize it at my own mental expense.
I've been struggling with the same sort of thing for 8 years now. I've been to dozens of doctors in several different countries but never got a proper diagnosis.

From my own research and observations I'm quite confident it is, as you elude to, an auto-immune related disease. The two major triggers for me are exercise; particularly anaerobic e.g weightlifting, and alcohol. Alcohol actually alleviates the symptoms for a day or more and then undoubtedly i'll struggle for a few days after that. Which points to alcohol's suppressive effects on the immune system.

I really really hope this, and similar research[1], turns into something tangible

Such a sad story. With women the experience is typically worse on average when they talk to doctors as the doctors even female one trust them less than male patients. Even feminists advise to go to a doctor with a husband or male relative or friend and let them do the talking.
To be honest this is slightly disturbing or eerie. It’s like a glimpse inside the minds of people from the era that set us on the trajectory of ruined car focused wasteland cities and climate destruction. It’s like art depicting capitalism and consumption. Simply scale everything up to solve all your problems! Just make everything bigger! Just consume more!
Many financial positions (in DeFi or the real world) require you to have additional funds in order to move between different positions.

An example in the real world...say you're an employee at a large tech company with a bunch of stock options. You want to exercise those options and sell them. In order to exercise those options, you need money that you do not have. Luckily, your brokerage offers a service where they'll exercise the options for you and sell them. You're essentially borrowing their money very quickly to get out of your position.

In DeFi, you could use a flash loan in order to deleverage in a position. So instead of selling a small increment of your position and paying back your loan multiple times, you can instead take a flash loan and pay everything back at once to deleverage.

> Code is law in crypto. You can’t hate the law/regulation then call it in when you need it.

"Code is law" is the mantra of people who are either ignorant of how the law works or attempting to run from the law [1]. You don't get to choose whether or not the law applies to you [2].

[1] Or both. These aren't mutually exclusive categories.

[2] Source: see every sovereign citizen case ever. I was originally going to write "ask any sovereign citizen," but then I remembered that the failure of their legal theories to ever find purchase in a courtroom does surprisingly little to make them realize that they are wrong.
This is like saying a word doesn't exist because it's not in a dictionary.

Dictionaries reflect the public's usage of words, not the other way around.

Similarly, courts are supposed to reflect the values of people, people's values aren't informed by the courts.
The issue is the knowledge of bad things you cant change and wont impact your behavior at all just makes you informed and miserable.

Being informed is not a universal good, more is not always better. Should have a personal cost/benefit calculation, “is it worth it to be this informed?” Etc.
I have to say that this is exactly why I like having Kaiser as my health insurance. Because Kaiser is also my healthcare provider, if I need to see a specialist, all it takes is a referral from my PCP or any specialist I'm currently seeing, and it's done. And, they practice evidence-based medicine to the extent that's possible, which means that treatment decisions tend to be pretty reasonable. My PCP refers out whenever there's anything outside her expertise.

I know it sounds like a massive conflict of interest to have one's physician working for one's insurance company, but, somehow, it really seems to work and work well, bypassing those failure modes you mentioned entirely. I've gotten in to see specialists within a matter of a couple of weeks whenever I've needed it.
I don't see how electricity or regulation could make the price go up much. Electricity can only go to 0, it can't realistically go negative. It sounds like from the article, that hardware is a bigger cost than electricity. And if electricity goes significantly down, it'll go down for other miners as well, meaning they'll just get more competition over the same fixed amount of the bitcoin pie. The article points out that even if they mined all the unmined bitcoins at the same percent they're doing now, they still won't reach their market cap. So even if electricity is 0, they still can't make enough profit to hit their market cap.

You're right though that this isn't a foolproof way to eliminate large risks. I'm very far from an expert in this area; I've never done any shorting or options trading.
Taking a break from all media makes you happier and less anxious. Especially if you are overconsuming media like many people are.
I mean, that's not the methodology of the attack... if the methodology I described were used the attack would not be possible. You are saying it is not possible to implement this mechanism on BLE without affecting the user's experience and, if someone had tried for this key, they wasted their time as they didn't understand how BLE worked. While I am honestly skeptical of that--as I would expect I could use a different packet with a new local timestamp for each of these "reconnections"--I don't know much about BLE, and so am willing to take your word for it; but, as we clearly aren't going to want to synchronize the clock between the car and a silly little key fob so accurately as to allow us to deal with the time difference of the speed of light moving across a mere parking lot, the conclusion to me is that we can not use BLE (which I would think is overkill for a key anyway) and instead must use a more trivial radio scheme.

Those are the kind of things that make me stay away from deeper forms of meditation and mindfulness.

Also, I'm not very fond of taking the traditional advice so literally. These sources focus solely on training new Buddhist monks, and most people doing secular practice just want some peace of mind while they continue their, productivity focused, western lifestyle.

We need to take these sources with a grain of salt and reorient our practice so that it cultivates more peace of mind without making us implode when the cultivated buddhist mindset creates a conflict with our western lifestyle
>intracoastal waterway will submerged by the time I die (2070ish)

So you are in early 30s or late 20s? I was just thinking about this, if I'm lucky I die in 2060s, if dramatic improvements in extending life 70s though I have fingers crossed for "Upload", though I still think creating exact copy while deleting old one is dying as well (unless they can keep just brain hooked up).

Junk food's a great analogy. When encountering delicious junk food we're biologically compulsed to gorge. And just like we learn to moderate our junk food intake, it's easy enough to learn the warning signs of doom scrolling and put an end to it (just takes awareness and discipline).

Side note: I do the same when I (through force of habit) start a game of bullet chess, there's about 5 seconds before the game starts - just enough time to quickly cancel! (if I play 1 bullet chess game, I'll probably play 5 more right after, so quickly escaping when I shouldn't be playing is a huge benefit).
Depends on your use case. First, AAVE is on ETH, and most arbitrage profits are on other chains. For example, there aren't a lot of flash loan providers on BSC (Binance Smart Chain) with deep liquidity, so everyone just uses flash swaps. The most profitable chain for arbs is BSC (binance smart chain). If you're using the loan for DEX arbitrage, then there is no point in using a third party loan provider like AAVE. You have to pay swap fees regardless, and a flash swap is "free" in the sense that you only pay the swap fees for the coins involved, and you must pay them whether you send the coins to the contract first, or if you borrow them and pay them back at the end.

So if you bring in outside money from a place like AAVE for a DEX arb, then whatever fees you are paying to AAVE are an extra, optional expense, since the swap fees must be paid regardless.
Agreed about Fastmail. Very happy with switching over.

I also tried ProtonMail before switching to Fastmail. I liked some of the security advantages of PM, but being forced to use their client due to E2E was too difficult in the long run. I missed seamless calendar integrations, managing multiple emails from one UI, etc. Also Fastmail is slightly cheaper.

I've also completely switched over to Apple native Mail/Calendar clients. Both apps I used to despise, but all alternatives I tried have failed to match feature parity (or have serious data privacy concerns).

It doesn't happen on the bitcoin blockchain. Exchanges are black boxes though, we don't always know what's going on in there.
It used to be a great skill when google's behavior was reasonably static and predictable, therefore learnable. Today if you open 2 google instances on your phone and computer they'll both likely return different results. Move to the next city block, and again, same problem. You want to google the same query again? If the algorithm thinks you didn't find what you were looking before the first time, you'll get once again different results.

In this way I think these language transformers will be much better for searching information. Not because of their great comprehension abilities or indexing prowess, but because their behavior will be static and the training data reasonably good. Soon enough someone will find better ways to display their learned associations and they'll become great search engines (if you can index the content relevant to you that is).
An interesting find. But I'll have to wait til I'm on my laptop to view it. Haven't AP heard of people viewing the internet on mobile devices?
Does this include HN? Asking for a friend.

Snark aside, why is this a recurring obsession of HN posters?
You can certainly hear about a lot of things on social media, but I don’t think reading a bunch of underinformed, overangry people fire memes, half-truths, and occasional outright lies back and forth constitutes facing anything in any meaningful way, nor will it make any difference in the world.
Nah, not till you find your favorite iron there too.

At Facebook / Meta, employees often questioned Mark Zuckerberg whenever a study like this came out. Zuckerberg noted that the same held true for news media. Reporters do not like to mention this.

I feel like most of my anxiety has nothing to do with social media, so I'm not so sure if I'd feel better just because I stopped reading Twitter.
They are, because they're competing for people's attention through social media.

And so, Facebook's dark patterns to some extent poison everything.
> For most people, most driving is well inside the (range/2)-radius circle, where home charging is sufficient

Cars that swap their batteries can also charge the battery. It's not exclusively swapping or charging, it's both swapping and charging.

This gives you the option to right size the battery for your driving. If in the normal case you're not driving very far then you can swap in a small battery and charge that at home. If you're going on a road trip then you can swap in a larger battery and get the benefit of that.

NIO supports multiple battery sizes: https://insideevs.com/news/537644/nio-4-million-battery-swap...

Well it is mostly not worth the money. One of the biggest benefits of wide bandgap materials is the higher breakdown voltage. But that should not be an issue for logic circuits -- one should not ever reach the breakdown voltage.

Another benefit of wide band gap devices is the low on resistance. This would also benefit logic circuits, but the benefit would be much smaller because logic circuits move much less current than power circuits. Switching speed would be a definite benefit for logic, but is it worth the cost.

The biggest driver of profitability for logic circuits nowadays is large wafer sizes and small feature sizes. Wide band gap semiconductors are nowhere near silicon in this regard. In silicon carbide the newest thing is 200 mm wafers, available only in a few fabs, while silicon has been on 300 wafers for many years. As far as feature size, Silicon Carbide is absolutely giant compared to silicon.

It would take hundreds of billions of dollar to make silicon carbide features as small as silicon, and nobody wants to pay it because currently silicon carbide is much more useful in power applications where you want large features.

The issues for gallium nitride are similar, except that gallium nitride may narrow the cost gap with silicon because it is currently made by merely depositing gallium nitride on silicon wafers, so a lot of the production technology is similar to silicon. But then again when one starts pushing the edge of the leading nodes of silicon, I am sure there a lot of differences between gallium nitride and silicon will appear, so using gallium nitride will not be that simple.

So you may see gallium nitride appear on some mixed signal chips or some logic chips that are far in the lagging edge (e.g., MCUs?). But currently there is so much demand for this stuff (both SIC and GAN) for power that using it for logic is way on the backburner for everybody.
Even in GC languages, you almost always want to free the resource at the end of a lexical scope, usually the same one where it was acquired. What if instead of requiring special syntax (defer, try-with-reaource, with etc.) for the normal case where you want it freed at the end of scope, you use special syntax to specify it shouldn't be automatically cleaned up, because it is persisted somewhere else?
This is a real struggle for a lot of people, myself included. Hence the hype.
"I want all my software to work in the same way, even if there are problems with the way it all works. I don't want developers to think about things and come up with new and potentially better ways, because then I have to learn stuff. Just make everything work the same, and I'll be happy, fast and productive."

So understandable. So depressing.
Good luck getting cats to put up with an fMRI! Closing a $100M seed round would be a piece of cake by comparison.
> how can I browse an offline copy of Wikipedia." Those problems would probably last longer than you want to schlep around and item like this.

Which is why you download offline Wikipedia before the disaster. I know "preppers" have a bad rap for cos-playing, but this project strikes me as the tech equivalent of "Prepare an emergency go bag,and buy some tarp to seal your windows and doors in case of a shelter-in-place order[1]". Sure, buying your gear/rations from an Army Surplus store is cos-playey (as is the EMP shielding), but the principle is sound.

> IMHO, if it's an actual doomsday, it's probably safe to assume technological society will collapse and not recover for generations, and any high technology would in reality be a short-to-medium term consumable that will break without replacement.

I suspect you're overthinking it - this is a computing equivalent of a go bag, not a nuclear bunker. Having offline useful information will be useful from day 0 (maps, emergency frequencies, agricultural & disease info, for example). The RPi has no moving parts and can run for years: my 1st-gen pi is chugging along just fine.

Isn't a requirement. OP stated C is acceptable.
I think that in the context of social media it is less about ignoring the world & big matters but rather that you're getting a very biased view of the things that in the end is often useless and cause no tangible behavioral change in you.

The "fuck ignorance, face things" can be used to shove information down someone's throat that adds nothing to the person's life except maybe misery.
Being informed about stuff you can do nothing about that won't cause any tangible behavioral change (except maybe adding stress and anxiety) is not novel for the sake of it.

A rock that can't move, act or communicate that know the truth of the world, or Kardashians family dynamics, is no better than a rock that don't.

> why is this a recurring obsession of HN posters?

Most of us would have doom scrolled in one form or another, many do it regularly, which can be hugely detrimental to life satisfaction in the same way any addiction could be, and can also increase anxiety. It's also in the interest of app makers to encourage these mostly destructive habits.
Tax write off is not free. At best you get ~50% back. Still expensive if you don’t use it enough.
I did the same for Twitter. I turned off notifications. And I check it only when I feel like it. Read up on some things. Comment. And then go away. It’s been amazing.

I read more. I have much more time to spend doing other more social things in meat space. It’s been amazing to just turn off and the notification thing was the key: turning them off allowed me to control when I used the app and not the other way around (because a red notification counter triggers me to check it out etc.).
